Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

At the moment the curse vanished, a flood of information surged into Qin An’s mind.

He felt as if he had relived his entire life again.

From life’s dilemmas to work’s adversities, and various difficulties in interpersonal relationships.

Including the girl he recently saved, and the criticisms online.

All kinds of pains, like tides rushing in, continuously washed over his heart like waves.

This is the so-called Heart Inquiry, directly pointing to the innermost desires, and also to the most fragile part of one’s heart.

Qin An gasped for breath incessantly, only feeling that the pain grew more intense.

He couldn’t even hold Cold Star, just squatted down, swaying back and forth.

Amidst the pain and decadence, two voices once again appeared in his mind.

"Give up, this really is your weakest point, but if you surrender, you can get what you want, you are yourself, you can restore what you have encountered to normal."

This voice seemed to want Qin An to sink into it.

And at this moment, another voice simultaneously sounded.

"Don’t give up, never give up! Outside, there are still those Celestial Demon Envoys, including the Heavenly Demon and those traitors, all wanting your life. If you choose to give up now, then all that awaits you is death."

The two voices kept coming, exploding in Qin An’s mind.

They were like two armies, fighting against each other, both wanting to occupy Qin An’s mind.

In this divided agony, Qin An felt himself leaning towards the decadence, as if he could fall into it at any moment and become a part of this world.

Yet he tightly grasped the brightest place in his heart, like clutching at a life-saving straw.

At this time, the surrounding scene froze again, Qin An suddenly lifted his head.

In this entanglement and complexity, he finally discovered his most vulnerable part.

"Yes, you are right, I’ve indeed suffered a lot of pain and helplessness in my life, including criticism and slander."

"But isn’t this just what a normal, ordinary person would experience? In my past life, I was just an ordinary person, experiencing these ordinary things, also living through my own life."

Qin An stood up, the trembling in his body gradually subsided, and he took a deep breath.

"It’s a familiar and nostalgic feeling, but all this is fake. Even if it were truly back, I wouldn’t choose to sink into happiness or pain."

Once these words were spoken, the figure of the curse reappeared.

He looked at Qin An, his brows furrowed tightly.

He could feel that the originally indecisive Qin An seemed to have returned to normal.

But how could this be possible?

No matter how strong a person is, they all have incredibly fragile parts inside, and those fragile parts are what he targeted.

Yet Qin An seemed to be gradually stitching up the most fragile wounds, which was truly surprising.

"But I can give you a better life."

The curse continued to tempt: "You don’t need to go through this; you could have a perfect and fulfilled life without this pain."

Hearing these words, Qin An’s lips slightly curled up into a smile: "But joy exists within the pain; I also have my beautiful memories, things worthy of nostalgia, why would I pursue simple happiness?"

Qin An walked towards the curse, eventually stopping in front of it, raising his hand to tap the curse’s shoulder, speaking in a calm tone: "It seems like your Heart Inquiry Illusion Realm failed."

The curse returned to normal, revealing a bitter smile: "Indeed it failed, even those deceased heroic spirits couldn’t resist; I didn’t expect you to resist me."

"Then, you should be disappearing soon, right?" Qin An asked again.

He came here precisely to resolve the curse, and now that he had broken this so-called Heart Inquiry Illusion Realm, it seemed everything was over.

But would the curse dissipate?

The curse shrugged: "That’s right, it’s indeed about to vanish; I was never any living being, just a curse, a piece of painful memory."

"Once gone, I won’t feel any regrets. I was just fulfilling my role here according to my identity."

"You always come from those Heavenly Demons," Qin An suddenly asked, "Do you know what the Heavenly Demon is?"

Hearing this, the curse smiled: "You want to get information from me because you know I’m not on anyone’s side, I’m just fulfilling my responsibilities here, isn’t that right?"

Qin An nodded, saying: "Exactly, I’m trying to find out about the Heavenly Demon’s identity; I know you would surely tell me if you knew."

"Why should I tell you?" the curse inquired again, "After all, I also have the right not to tell you."

Qin An spread his hands: "Yes, you do have the right not to tell me, but I’m the only one who has cracked this illusion realm, don’t you want to talk a bit more with me?"

With these words, Qin An’s intention was already quite clear.

He wanted to use this opportunity to probe into what the Heavenly Demon really was.

Even if he couldn’t analyze any clues from it, knowing the identity of the other party would be a significant progression.

Of course, he wasn’t sure if this curse would tell him; he was just trying.

After Qin An’s words fell, the smile on the curse’s face grew more radiant.

"Alright, alright, you are indeed too interesting; this matter is not important to me, so it doesn’t matter telling you, besides what I know isn’t much."

Qin An listened attentively, allowing the curse to continue.

After a brief silence, the curse organized his thoughts and concisely said a single sentence:

"All the Heavenly Demons come from outside; they aren’t one but a collective."

Upon hearing this, Qin An showed a shocked expression: "A collective? Can you elaborate a bit more?"

A single Heavenly Demon was enough to cause headaches in this world, but if there were a collective, such headaches would transform into endless despair.

The curse shook his head and said: "I can’t elaborate further, because I only know so much. I don’t know their origin, purpose, or any other things; what I say is the truth."

Qin An believed the curse spoke the truth.

After all, there was no possibility of falsehood from the curse at this moment.

However, this news was like a great stone falling into a lake, instantly stirring up waves a thousand layers deep.

Qin An took a long time to gradually calm the waves.

At this moment, the curse suddenly stepped up to Qin An, raising his hand to pat Qin An’s shoulder.

"Alright, I’m leaving; following this, I think there’s no need to say anything further."

As these words were spoken, the curse’s figure was gradually fading away.

"The weakness in your mind has been completely smoothed out; you are almost flawless. I’m quite interested in seeing what happens in the future, but I won’t get to witness it."

When the last word was spoken, the curse’s figure completely vanished.

The surrounding environment gradually dissolved at a visible speed.

Then, Qin An noticed the scenery around him was once again turning blurry.

Amidst the blur, a familiar aura appeared before Qin An.

This was the aura of the Barren Forbidden Land.

The blur became clear again, and once everything returned to normal, Qin An found himself once more in the Barren Forbidden Land.

Qin An didn’t dawdle, turned to look at Liu Yebai and others behind him, his expression calm and his tone as serene as water.

"The so-called curse here, I have completely broken it, now it’s your turn to fulfill your promise."
