Chapter 1312: The Last Spark

Chapter 1312: The Last Spark

“Alright, you can go in and then head back. Hm? What are you looking at?”

The Sacred Master was puzzled as to why Lin Nuo and Su Kexin weren’t leaving and were instead staring at the statue of the Valkyrie.

“No, didn’t you see? It’s glowing.”

Lin Nuo pointed at the statue and said, “Are you blind? Can’t you see?”

“Glowing? The hero must be joking. Where’s the light? I’ve been here for so long and never seen it glow.”

“Didn’t you see it? Junior Martial Sister, did you see it?”

Lin Nuo asked Su Kexin, who nodded repeatedly.

“Yes, Senior Martial Brother, it really is glowing.”

“Right? So we can confirm, he’s the only blind one.”

Has this Sacred Master gotten old? Shouldn’t he get some reading glasses?

“Ah? What? It really is glowing…?”

The Sacred Master couldn’t believe it. Both of them said they saw the glow, yet he couldn’t see it. Was it possible he lacked sincerity and couldn’t earn the deity’s favor?

Impossible! He was a loyal believer, how could he not move the deity!

Soon, the light from the statue intensified, suddenly flooding the area with brightness before returning to calm.

At that moment, the Sacred Master froze up, not even a breeze was stirring, and the spirit birds flying above were completely still.

It was as if the world had come to a complete standstill.

Lin Nuo turned back to see Su Kexin was fine and could still move.

Only the two of them were unharmed, while everything else was frozen.

“Senior Martial Brother, what just happened?”

“Not sure, but it’s definitely connected to that.”

Lin Nuo gestured towards the statue, uncertain if it was friend or foe, fearing it could be a massive trap.

At that moment, an ethereal spirit floated out from the statue, resembling the statue itself.

“Could it really be a deity?”

Lin Nuo was astonished. Was this a soul returning? Someone who died over a hundred years ago hadn’t been reborn yet?

What could they have unresolved feelings about to drag it on this long?

“Who are you? What do you want to do to us?”

Su Kexin became cautious, wanting to draw her sword, only to find it missing.

“Ah? Where’s my sword?”

“Mine seems to be gone too.”

Lin Nuo added. Alright, weaponless now, if a fight broke out, they’d have to go in bare-fisted.

Two women fighting would just end up pulling each other’s hair.

“You’ve grown up.”

The female spirit uttered that line, leaving Su Kexin utterly confused.

“What do you mean by grown up? Are you a relative of Senior Martial Brother?”

“What’s your relative doing over here…?”

Lin Nuo rolled his eyes, what the heck, she was clearly talking to you, why drag me into this?

Isn’t it obvious? You have some relation to her. But it’s definitely not reincarnation.

“I remember the last time a demon came here was over a hundred years ago.”

The female spirit turned towards Lin Nuo and said,

“I can’t imagine that you would find a demon as a partner.”

“Senior Martial Brother’s partner is me, I’m not a demon!”

Su Kexin replied, getting all worked up, making Lin Nuo feel embarrassed.

No, she’s saying you! That you found a demon as your soulmate.

So awkward, our main character is making a fool of himself. Only the villain can hold up the facade here.

“I’m talking about you.”

The female spirit turned to Su Kexin, finally making her react, but she became even more incensed, continuing her vehement denial:

“The path-fellow I chose will not be criticized by you. There’s no one more outstanding than Senior Martial Brother in this world!”

Like a stubborn girl determined to stay with her boyfriend against all odds.

“Sigh, fine. Let me introduce myself. I am Ling Qi, the God of War you speak of. Right now, the environment you’re in is still because your souls are communicating with me.”

“So you mean our souls have left our bodies? I apologize for my previous atheism,” Lin Nuo said.

“No worries. I’m merely a spirit. I assume you must have many questions, especially concerning her.”

“She’s related to you, of course, but what that relationship is, I cannot say. I can preliminarily determine she might be your descendant.”

“Yes, you’re a wise demon. She’s the only descendant of our family.”

Lin Nuo and Ling Qi discussed Su Kexin, while she remained completely in the dark, confused about it all.

Experts in conversation, hitting the key points, making it clear without stating everything outright.

“Because of my existence, all members of my family have suffered demon reprisals. Even in death, their souls were ravaged and destroyed. She is my great-granddaughter, but her body is already dead. A servant of her mother brought her here, using my power to reincarnate her into the mortal world. She was less than a year old at the time of her death, so she has no memories of this place.”

Ling Qi explained, and Lin Nuo began to understand the situation.

So, Su Kexin had quite the background!

Naturally, every protagonist has a powerful lineage, right? Or a dragon bloodline—once awakened, they’ll dominate the world.

“Senior Martial Brother, what are you saying? I’m her great-granddaughter, is this true?”

“Most likely it is.”

Lin Nuo nodded. Just based on that ability you displayed, you must be her descendant.

Lin Nuo asked Ling Qi,

“Since you have such immense power, you could protect your family members nearby, couldn’t you?”

“As a spirit long dead, I cannot protect them. In fact, I’d disturb other deities. The future depends on them; I cannot interfere.”

“There are other deities here? Or are they all just Sacred Ones who have been deified?” Lin Nuo continued to inquire.

“Deities are merely our definitions. Many spirits like me remain in the temple. But if they don’t call for you, you can’t see them. Just as I called for you, you were able to see me.”

“Got it.”

Lin Nuo nodded, gaining a more comprehensive understanding.

Su Kexin is the last spark, but she only possesses a spirit, and the way to sustain her is through reincarnation.

And this reincarnation was quite impressive, bringing along the skills of ancestors, making her invincible upon arriving in the mortal world.

“Why not reincarnate in the Sacred Realm?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Because they will find her.”

“They? Your enemies? Those demons?”

“Yes. They would eradicate her completely. In the Sacred Realm, her fate would be the same. So, the hope can only be placed in the mortal world. Perhaps it’s all predestined. I originally thought she would have a new life in the human realm, but unexpectedly, she returned to the Sacred Realm and even quelled a calamity.”

Ling Qi was quite pleased with Su Kexin’s performance, then turned to look at her.

“Your name is Su Kexin, right?”

“Yes,” Su Kexin nodded.

“Su Kexin, you also possess your name in the mortal realm. Strictly speaking, you can no longer be considered my descendant. You have no memories related to this place; only your abilities belong to you.”

“My abilities? I heard Senior Martial Brother say my abilities might lead to split personalities. Please help me eliminate that, okay? I don’t want another personality; I hate that one!”

“That belongs to you; I cannot take it away, nor can I. But it is precisely because of it that you met this demon, isn’t it?” Ling Qi spoke softly.
