Chapter 974 Chapter 974: Celestial Sword Emperor
,m Lin Hao thought about what happened before he fell unconscious and felt a chill running down his spine. Fortunately, the Soul Force in the Wordless Books did not have any offensive power. Otherwise, he would definitely have suffered soul injuries.
“What a powerful Soul Force. Could it be that this Wordless Book really has something to do with Celestial Sword Emperor?” Lin Hao took a deep breath and guessed.
Although Lin Hao was knocked unconscious earlier, he didn’t give up. After calming his emotions, he released the Soul Force once again, enveloping the Wordless Book in front of him.
A familiar Soul Force appeared once again. This time, Lin Hao was a little more careful. Then, he controlled his own Soul Force to simulate the fluctuation of Soul Force coming from the Wordless Book.
As he had already succeeded once before, his Soul Force fluctuation was very quickly the same as the fluctuation in the book.
At this moment, a majestic Soul Force erupted from the book. And it was this Soul Force that knocked Lin Hao unconscious previously.
After Lin Hao suffered a loss once, he wasn’t knocked unconscious by this Soul Force again this time. However, his Soul Force was instantly suppressed. No matter how he resisted, he couldn’t move.
Lin Hao was shocked. It is because his own Soul was an Ancient Divine Soul that only a single person could have in an era. It means, there shouldn’t be a single soul as strong as his. Of course, Ye Xiao is an exception.
Coming back to the point, Lin Hao’s soul was already very powerful. In terms of soul, he could be compared to an Ancient G.o.d. But even then, his Soul Force was suppressed by the remnant Soul Force in the Wordless Book.
How could he not be surprised?
When Lin Hao tried to resist, he suddenly realized that something wasn’t right. His Soul Force was actually being swallowed by the book bit by bit.
Lin Hao really wanted to resist, but he couldn’t move at all. Thus, he could only watch helplessly as his Soul Force was being devoured.
Although Lin Hao’s Soul Force was much stronger than most of the Ancient G.o.ds, it only took less than ten minutes for a large amount of his Soul Force to be devoured by this Wordless Book.
Lin Hao had lost a large amount of Soul Force in a short period of time, and his current condition was extremely poor. He felt that his head was very heavy, and his body was also very tired. He really wanted to sleep.
But he had already fainted once, so this time he forced himself not to faint.
Time pa.s.sed minute by minute. Very quickly, Lin Hao’s Soul Force was completely devoured by the Wordless Book in front of him.
Along with the sound of a collision, Lin Hao fell onto the ground. His Soul Force was completely used up, and he couldn’t help but faint once more.
“Young man, Wake up!”
After an unknown period of time, when Lin Hao was sleeping, an ethereal voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
“Who is calling me?” Lin Hao asked in a daze. As he spoke, he slowly raised his heavy eyelids.
“Who are you?”
When Lin Hao opened his eyes in a daze, he saw a majestic-looking middle-aged man appear in front of him. He was so scared that he quickly took a few steps back.
“What is this place? Am I not on top of a cliff?” After Lin Hao took a few steps back, he found that he was in a strange place. It was a vast expanse of white. He could not recognize where this place was.
“Of course, not. This place is inside the Wordless Book in your hand.” When the middle-aged man heard Lin Hao’s words, he replied with a smile.
“Inside the Wordless Book?”
A trace of doubt appeared in Lin Hao’s eyes. After that, he looked at this strange middle-aged man, and the doubt in his eyes instantly turned into vigilance.
He could not understand how he appeared inside the book and who this middle-aged man is!
“Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you. I’m just a consciousness. Originally, I sealed a part of my consciousness in the Wordless Book, but now that you’ve successfully removed the seal, I naturally appeared in front of you.” The middle-aged man explained with a kind expression.
“What? You actually sealed a part of your consciousness in the Wordless Book. Then do you know the secret of the Wordless Book? I don’t believe that it’s just an ordinary blank book!” Lin Hao was shocked at first, but he quickly asked.
“Yes, it is indeed not an ordinary book. And at the same time, it is indeed an ordinary blank book. Because there is no content in the book. But you don’t have to fear, the true content is within my consciousness” The middle-aged man spoke as if he was speaking a tongue twister.
Lin Hao called out in confusion. Although he did not understand the first two sentences, he understood the latter two sentences.
“Who exactly are you?” Lin Hao guessed for a moment and asked curiously.
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Hao deeply and smiled. Then he replied: “I am you, and you are me!”
“Wh-What do you mean?” Lin Hao couldn’t understand what this middle-aged man was saying. For some reason, he became more vigilant, as if he is facing a great enemy.
The middle-aged man shook his head lightly and then replied: “You can call me Celestial Sword Emperor. In the Primordial Era, people used to call me Celestial Sword Emperor. My real name is, in fact, Lin Hao.”
“What?” Lin Hao was shocked. He knew everything about the Celestial Sword Emperor except for his real name. Lin Hao was aware of everything about the Celestial Sword Emperor because of the G.o.d Slaying Sword. It was G.o.d Slaying Sword that told him everything he knew on the current date.
But he never expected the Celestial Sword Emperor’s name to be Lin Hao, the same as him.
Without waiting for Lin Hao to ask anything else, the Celestial Sword Emperor exploded yet another bomb in Lin Hao’s mind. He said: “In short, you are my reincarnation!”
“Reincarnation?” Lin Hao looked at the middle-aged man with bewilderment.
“Yes, reincarnation!” Celestial Sword Emperor smiled and nodded. Then he said: “Why do you think you were the only one who ‘coincidently’ obtained the G.o.d Slaying Sword?”
Celestial Sword Emperor looked at Lin Hao and asked: “Do you think you were lucky?”
“No, you were not lucky. It was your fate that brought you to the G.o.d Slaying Sword, it was our fate!”
“After the end of the Primordial Era, I was very bored. I didn’t have anything to do. I was already standing at the top of the Universe. I was the strongest in Heavens. But it was at that time Heavenly Dao divined that such an era where all other eras meet will come. That era could be proved to be the last era and the era of Heavens’ Destruction.”
“Heavens divined that the Nine Ancestral Dragons will also appear in that era and will try to go against the Heavens by stealing the Source of Heavens. In fact, it will not be just the Nine Ancestral Dragons, some otherworldly individuals will also appear who’ll either want to swallow the Source of Heavens or rule the Heavens.”
“That era will be a chaotic one.”
“It was Heavens who made me reincarnate into you, but before that, I divided a small part of my consciousness. This small part of my consciousness has all of my memories, as for my soul, it entered the Whirlpool of Reincarnation. As a result, I reincarnated in this era as you, Lin Hao.”
“As for the small part of my consciousness, I further divided it into three parts and sealed them in three Wordless Books. As long as your soul force is strong enough, you can break the seal, and fuse with our consciousness. At that time, not only you once again regain the memories of our last life, but you will also receive all the contents of the Wordless Book.”
Saying till here, the Celestial Sword Emperor stopped for a few seconds. He looked at Lin Hao’s stunned face and understood very well that he should stop and give Lin Hao time to digest the information.
When Lin Hao was ready again, the Celestial Sword Emperor started speaking again: “After you’ll fuse with the three parts of our consciousness, you’ll recover our complete memories. At the same time, you’ll also understand countless things that you don’t understand now because of the short period you took to cultivate to this stage.”
“And with the help of the contents of Wordless Books, you’ll become an Ancient G.o.d whom no one can rival in this era. You will become the strongest person once again, and even our self of the Primordial Era will be no match for you.”
“At that time, you will shoulder the responsibility to fight for the Heavens and keep its Source Safe.”
