Dong Fang Hua continued walking back and forth before Su Ming. His laughter was filled with joy, and it was completely different from his previous cautious and attaching himself to the powerful. At that moment, he was like a completely different person. That prideful look on his face and his sparkling eyes revealed the secrets in his heart.
"Today, I've reached the Berserker Soul Realm. Since all of you are here to witness the ceremony, then I'll let you see with your own eyes how a Berserker in the Berserker Soul Realm forms his own statue of the God of Berserkers!" Dong Fang Hua shouted loudly and lifted his arms, waving them around madly.
Su Ming looked at Dong Fang Hua quietly. He did not know much about this person, but after interacting with him for the past few days, Su Ming could tell that this person was just as cautious as him. At the same time he longed to become stronger, he also enjoyed the feeling of being complimented before the weak.
'What he's showing right now is his true self … But how is this similar to the illusion I saw just now..?' Su Ming fell silent. He looked at Dong Fang Hua for a long time before his gaze fell on Chou Nu.
Chou Nu knelt on the ground and panted harshly. His face was ferocious as he let out a low growl, giving off a feeling of rage and madness. However, there was a cowardice and light in his eyes that did not match with his expression.
"If he's showing his true self right now, then Chou Nu has the word 'Nu' in his name. I don't know if this is his natural name, but if it isn't, then it means that what he needs the most is Nu …"
"Because he needs it the most, then it also means that what he lacks the most is rage …" Su Ming mumbled. He had a vague feeling that he had grasped something, but there was still a veil separating him from it.
"What do I need the most..?" Su Ming closed his eyes, and after a long while, he opened them slowly and looked at Nan Tian.
Nan Tian stood there with his eyes closed. His expression kept changing. Prideful, twisted, sullen, cold smirk. All sorts of expressions fused together, but most of them were prideful.
"This is a person who likes to scheme and scheme … I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, but based on these few things, I can tell that he's very confident in his own intelligence. He always thinks that he can control people through clues, but they have no choice but to follow him." Su Ming looked at Nan Tian, looked at his expression, and mumbled to himself.
'And him …' Su Ming's gaze fell on Xuan Lun.
"He's a cruel person. This can be seen when he brought out the souls of He Feng's parents and crushed them when He Feng challenged the Chains of Han Mountain.
'He's cruel, fierce, and he'll kill anyone he disagrees with. He's also a powerful Berserker in the Transcendence Realm, which is above those in the Blood Solidification Realm. With his personality, he must have killed a lot of people in his life …' Su Ming saw the brutal look on Xuan Lun's face. It was as if he loved killing and was passionate about it. However, under that brutality, the hint of helplessness on Xuan Lun's face stood out.
"I understand now …" Su Ming mumbled softly to himself. There was anguish in his voice. He had always been an intelligent person. When he fused the expressions and actions of the four people together, there was no way he would not know what his answer was.
"What you flaunt the most is actually what you lack the most."
"What you want people to know the most is actually what you want the most."
"Xuan Lun is cruel, fierce, and bloodthirsty. This is what he flaunts, and it's also what many people know, but in truth, this is what he lacks the most. He might have killed a lot of people, but all of this is to hide his helplessness. He lacks a sense of security.
"He doesn't think he's safe. He needs to flaunt his kills, he needs people to know that he loves to kill, that he's cruel by nature, to hide the fear in his heart.
"He needs cruelty, that's why he sees cruelty. He's afraid, he longs for safety, that's why a hint of helplessness appears on his face," Su Ming mumbled to himself in anguish. He understood now.
'Nan Tian flaunts the most and wants people to know the most is his schemes and his intelligence, but in truth, this is also what he lacks the most …
"He wants people to know that he's a schemer, but this also means that this is what he desires the most."
"There's the word anger in Chou Nu's name. He's usually angry, and he'll fly into a rage at the slightest provocation. This is what he flaunts. He wants people to know … and it's also what he desires, because the real him is very weak and cowardly." Su Ming looked at the fear on Chou Nu's angry face and mumbled.
"I really understand now. Through them, I found out what's in my heart." Su Ming leaned against the wall by his side and looked at the top of the tunnel with a wry smile.
"I'm always indifferent and calm myself down. This is what I lack, and it's what I desire … I don't want to think about what happened in the tribe. I use indifference to cover it up, but these are the most fragile memories in my heart.
"Perhaps I've truly lost some of my memories … The illusion I saw on this bloody path, the gaze that appeared at the end, and those words … Why did they make me so nervous, so mindful, so afraid..? Perhaps this is what I don't want anyone to know the most in the depths of my heart …
"It's like Xuan Lun's fear, and Chou Nu's weakness.
"Then, what do I need the most..?" Su Ming asked himself, but soon, he found his answer, because when he said those words, that gaze and those words appeared in his head.
"You disappoint me … greatly …"
"So this is the real me … Then I want to know who that gaze belonged to.. Why did he say those words..? And what are the memories I've lost?
"In fact … if I've truly lost some of my memories, then is there a possibility that my memories have also been changed..? I want to know, is there …?" Su Ming closed his eyes. His heart was aching in pain, and he was afraid. He was afraid that his memories of Dark Mountain had been changed, that some of them had disappeared, that they were fake …
When he walked down this bloody path, he felt as if he had been baptized. It was as if he had gone through a metamorphosis and ascension. This feeling was still vague to him, but it was real.
Time passed by. He did not know how much time had passed by, but Dong Fang Hua no longer laughed. Instead, he shuddered and was stunned for a moment before he sat down quietly by Su Ming's side. He lowered his head and there was a dazed look on his face.
Chou Nu also stopped growling. The anger on his face disappeared and turned into emptiness. He sat by the side, lost in his thoughts.
Nan Tian trembled and slowly opened his eyes. There was a dazed look in his eyes. After a long while, the dazed look disappeared and was replaced by shock and astonishment. He took a deep breath and looked at Su Ming. After all, he was in the Transcendence Realm. Once he recovered, he could vaguely remember what had happened before.
In his memories, he could vaguely feel that Su Ming seemed to be different from him among these people. It was as if Su Ming had once stood before him calmly and looked at him. At that time, he did not have a single shred of power to fight back.
Nan Tian's heart trembled. He did not know whether this was just a figment of his imagination. He would rather believe that all of this was just his imagination and that it was not real. Yet when he looked towards Su Ming, he saw him opening his eyes and looking at him calmly. Nan Tian shuddered.
'He changed …' Nan Tian's breathing quickened slightly. He could not tell what part of Su Ming had changed, but he had a strong feeling that the current Su Ming was incredibly terrifying!
That terror did not come from his power, neither did it come from his schemes. It was just his gaze. When Nan Tian looked at Su Ming, there was a look of superiority in Su Ming's eyes. This was not a deliberate act, but something that came naturally to him.
He had never imagined that there would be someone who would look at him once. It was just a gaze, but it could make his heart race and make his mouth dry up in anxiety.
"What's the matter?" Su Ming asked softly.
"No … It's nothing …" For the first time, Nan Tian felt uneasy because of Su Ming's words, and he quickly answered.
Su Ming did not speak. He closed his eyes.
Xuan Lun looked at Su Ming with a complicated gaze. He had woken up at the same time as Nan Tian. In fact, their feelings were incredibly similar. He had also felt that when he was immersed in that state, Su Ming had looked at him calmly.
In fact, when Su Ming looked at Nan Tian just now, Xuan Lun's heart had also trembled and his breathing had quickened. However, there were still some differences between him and Nan Tian. He felt that all of this was because he had just woken up from that state. It was not Su Ming who had changed, but he himself.
Yet no matter what, Xuan Lun still chose to remain silent. He sat down cross-legged and did not speak a single word.
Time passed by. Two hours, four hours …
The end of the tunnel was still silent. Dong Fang Hua and Chou Nu had also completely recovered. However, the dream-like memories were difficult to get rid of.
When twenty something hours passed by, suddenly, the entire tunnel trembled. Muffled rumbling sounds came from above. Dust fell from the sky, as if the tunnel was about to collapse.
The stone wall at the end of the tunnel was flashing with a dark light. It was as if it had become incredibly unstable, as if it was about to crumble at any moment.
This sudden change immediately shocked Xuan Lun and he focused his attention on the stone wall. Nan Tian also had a grave expression on his face as he looked at the stone wall. Desire rose in his heart.
That stone wall was a door. It was a door that led to the place where Han Mountain's ancestor either isolated himself or passed away. That door had not been opened for hundreds of years, perhaps even longer.
The existence of the seal cut off all outsiders' footsteps. Yet now, Lake of Colors Tribe had arrived en masse, and with some unknown method, they were clearly trying to break the seal and rush into the place where Han Mountain's ancestor was.
Muffled rumbling sounds came continuously from above. The dark light on the stone wall shone even more intensely, causing the people's faces to flicker in and out of focus.
Chou Nu, Dong Fang Hua, Xuan Lun, and Nan Tian all had their gazes trained on the stone wall, waiting for the moment Lake of Colors Tribe broke the seal and the seal in this place would disappear.
Only Su Ming still had his eyes closed. It was not that he did not want to open them, but the ancient and hoarse voice appeared in his head once again.
"Come … come … I've waited for you … for a long … long time …"
"Destiny …"
