Chapter 5976 - 5979
As soon as Kai finished speaking, the air in the valley seemed to freeze for a moment.
“No!”
“Absolutely not!”
Jin Buhuan, Li Baichuan, Dugu Ao and others objected almost in unison, and even the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord frowned.
“Kai, are you crazy?”
Jin Buhuan said anxiously. “The Gate of Reincarnation is unpredictable, and the Lord of Reincarnation is even more unfathomable. Zhan E and Xue Youming are just its pawns. Although your strength has greatly improved, it is too dangerous to rashly enter its home ground!”
Li Baichuan also advised, “Boy, the soul of the Hu clan is important, but there is no need to rush. We can plan carefully and find out the details of the Gate of Reincarnation first.”
Dugu Ao said in a deep voice, “At least wait until we have reorganized the Twelve Heavens and mobilized all our forces before going together.”
The Crimson Cloud Demon Lord was silent for a moment, then spoke up, “Kai, the Lord of Reincarnation is definitely not a benevolent being. Senior Mu Sha also said that it may be a projection of an ancient will, possessing some of the laws of reincarnation.”
“Although your current chaotic power is strong, the outcome against such an existence is uncertain.”
Faced with everyone’s dissuasion, Kai’s expression was calm, but he shook his head firmly.
“I appreciate everyone’s kindness,”
he said slowly, “but the longer the Hu clan’s souls remain in the Gate of Reincarnation, the greater the risk of them being completely assimilated. The Hu clan’s souls must be saved. This is something I promised Master Hu, and I must do it.”
He gazed at the faintly visible phantom of the Gate of Reincarnation in the distance, a complex light flashing in his eyes: “Moreover, I possess the Chaos Origin Seed within me, which has a subtle restraining effect on the power of reincarnation.”
“Now that the Evil Path Palace has just been destroyed, the Lord of Reincarnation may not yet be fully aware of the situation, making this the perfect opportunity.”
“But…” Jin Buhuan wanted to persuade him further.
Kai raised his hand to stop him, smiling slightly: “Rest assured, everyone, I know what I’m doing. If things become unmanageable, I will withdraw in time. Moreover…”
He paused, the chaotic vortex mark on his palm glowing slightly: “I also want to see whether this chaotic power is stronger or weaker than the true laws of reincarnation.”
With that, Kai said no more, his figure transforming into a hazy gray stream of light, flying straight towards the altar atop Reincarnation Peak.
“Kai!” Crimson Cloud Demon Lord shouted, about to follow.
“Senior, please wait.”
Kai’s voice came from afar, “This journey is dangerous; I can handle it alone. You stay here and help Sect Master Jin and the others reorganize the situation. If I don’t return within three days…”
He didn’t finish, but his meaning was clear.
Crimson Cloud Demon Lord stopped in mid-air, a struggle flashing in his scarlet demonic eyes, but ultimately gritted his teeth and stopped.
He knew that once Kai made a decision, no one could change it. Moreover, with his current strength, going with him might only be a burden.
Jin Buhuan and the others watched Kai’s departing figure with solemn expressions. They knew that this departure was a matter of life and death.
“Pass down the order,”
Jin Buhuan took a deep breath, “Gather all forces and set up a large array outside the Evil Path Hall. If Fellow Daoist Kai has not returned in three days… we will launch a full-scale attack on the Gate of Reincarnation!”
“Yes!”
…
At the Evil Path Hall, on the altar.
The hundred-zhang-high phantom of the Gate of Reincarnation stood silently, a gray-white vortex slowly rotating within, exuding a chilling ancient aura.
Countless intricate runes were carved on the gate, some resembling sacrificial offerings, some like the movement of stars, and some completely incomprehensible.
Kai landed on the edge of the altar, calmly examining the gate. He could sense that the power of the Law of Reincarnation emanating from within the gate subtly conflicted with the laws of this world, yet they were forcibly integrated, forming a strange balance.
This method of “opening a new path” was truly astonishing.
“The soul of the Hu clan…” Kai muttered to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes.
Without further hesitation, he took a step forward, heading straight for the Gate of Reincarnation.
As soon as he stepped within ten feet of the gate, a sudden change occurred!
Buzz…
The runes on the Gate of Reincarnation lit up simultaneously, their grayish-white light intensifying!
The vortex within the gate suddenly accelerated its rotation, a terrifying suction force emanating from it, while countless mixed roars, wails, and prayers echoed from within, as if billions of living beings were struggling within!
These were the remnants of consciousness fragments from the beings devoured and assimilated by the Gate of Reincarnation!
Kai coldly snorted, and the chaotic stars within his body slowly rotated, naturally unfolding a layer of grayish-brown chaotic domain, completely isolating those sounds and suction forces from the outside.
He continued forward, and the instant his body touched the grayish-white vortex within the gate…
the world spun! Space and
time were distorted!
Kai felt as if he had been plunged into an endless vortex, countless lights, sounds, and fragments of memory rushing past him.
There was the ecstasy of cultivators breaking through, the despair of living beings dying, the rise and fall of dynasties, the grandeur of stars being born and dying… This was the torrent of memories of all living beings devoured and recorded over countless years before the Gate of Reincarnation! For
an ordinary cultivator to enter, the impact of this torrent of memories alone would be enough to shatter their soul and assimilate them into the Gate of Reincarnation.
But Kai’s Chaotic Realm remained as stable as a rock, blocking all this torrent of memories outside, allowing him to calmly observe from the perspective of an outsider.
He didn’t know how much time had passed—perhaps an instant, perhaps eternity.
All the chaos came to an abrupt end.
Kai stood firmly on the ground and opened his eyes.
Before him was a completely unfamiliar world.
The sky was eternally grayish-white, without sun, moon, or stars, only shrouded in a layer of hazy gray light.
The land was desolate, littered with strangely shaped gray rocks. In the distance, a winding gray river flowed slowly, its waters reflecting countless twisted faces.
The air was thick with the aura of reincarnation, more than ten times purer than the outside world, yet carrying a deathly, cold, and undeniable sense of order.
Everything here—rocks, rivers, air, light—seemed to be governed by a unified law: “Reincarnation.”
“This is the inner world of the Gate of Reincarnation… the Land of Reincarnation?”
Kai surveyed his surroundings, his expression grave.
He could sense that here, the laws of the outside world were greatly weakened, replaced by the omnipresent law of reincarnation.
His chaotic power, though able to resist the erosion, was now somewhat sluggish.
Just then, the gray mist surged ahead, and three figures slowly emerged.
They were three humanoid creatures formed entirely from grayish-white mist. They had no features, no clothing, simply standing there silently, yet radiating a powerful aura. Each one was no weaker than the previous guardians of reincarnation, perhaps even stronger! ”Intruder…die…”
A hoarse, overlapping voice rang out simultaneously from the three gray figures, as if countless people were speaking at once.
Before the words had even finished, the three gray figures moved at the same time!
They didn’t use any magical treasures or supernatural powers; they simply raised their hands, clenched their fists, and swung them.
But this simple action triggered a resonance of the laws of the entire Reincarnation Land!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three gray-white fists tore through the air, and wherever the fists passed, space was forcibly “reincarnated,” the young aged, the new decayed, and existence tended towards nothingness!
This was a terrifying method of directly applying the laws of reincarnation to an attack!
Kai’s eyes narrowed, not daring to be careless. He clenched his right fist, condensed chaotic power, and also threw a punch!
“Chaotic Law Breaker!”
The gray chaotic fist imprint collided with the three reincarnation fist imprints in mid-air.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a strange dissolving sound.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle…
The moment the chaotic fist imprint and the reincarnation fist imprint made contact, they frantically eroded and annihilated each other!
The power of chaos sought to dismantle the laws of reincarnation, while the laws of reincarnation sought to assimilate the power of chaos!
In the end, Kai’s chaotic fist imprint prevailed, shattering all three reincarnation fist imprints, but he also exhausted most of his strength. The aftershocks struck the three gray figures, only causing them to stagger back a few steps, their misty bodies rippled briefly before returning to normal.
“Such powerful control over the laws of reincarnation…” Kai was secretly shocked.
These three gray figures were clearly not true living beings, but rather “guardians” or “avatars” condensed from the laws of reincarnation.
Here, they were blessed by the entire land of reincarnation, making them virtually immortal.
“I must finish this quickly; I can’t afford to waste time with them.”
Kai’s thoughts raced, and his right hand formed a fist, the Dragon-Slaying Sword appearing in his hand.
On the sword’s blade, chaotic energy, the cycle of the five elements, the true flames of earth fire, and the phantom of a golden dragon simultaneously manifested, the four forces perfectly merging into a chaotic sword aura, hazy gray with four-colored starlight.
“Chaos – Creation of Heaven!”
Kai unleashed a sword strike!
This sword strike no longer pursued subtle variations, but instead brought the most essential characteristics of chaotic power—”opening up” and “evolution”—to their extreme!
Wherever the sword energy passed, the grayish-white energy of reincarnation was forcibly pushed aside and torn apart, as if trying to carve out a chaotic domain within this desolate land of reincarnation!
The three gray figures seemed to sense the terror of this sword strike and reacted differently for the first time.
They did not take the blow head-on, but instead dispersed simultaneously, transforming into three wisps of gray mist that merged into the surrounding energy of reincarnation.
The next moment, the grayish-white mist throughout the entire land of reincarnation surged wildly, pressing towards Kai from all directions!
Within the mist, countless grayish-white chains, blades, and arrows condensed, raining down on Kai like a storm!
This was an attempt to use the power of the entire land of reincarnation to completely suppress and assimilate him!
“A mere trick.”
Kai’s expression remained unchanged as he fully unleashed his Chaotic Domain, its diameter expanding from a hundred zhang to three hundred zhang!
Within the realm, chaotic energy surged like a raging torrent, the five elements swirling and evolving into earth, fire, water, and wind. The true flames of earth fire burned fiercely, purifying all other forces, while the phantom of a golden dragon coiled and roared, suppressing all evil!
All the gray-white attacks that came at them were quickly decomposed and assimilated as soon as they entered the chaotic realm!
The three gray figures reformed, standing outside the boundary. Their misty bodies rippled violently, clearly showing their extreme fear of the Chaos Realm.
“Since you won’t come out, I’ll force you out.”
Kai sneered, gripping the Dragon-Slaying Sword with both hands, the tip pointing downwards, and slamming it into the ground!
“Chaos – Earth Suppression!”
Rumble!
Centered on the Dragon-Slaying Sword, a ring of gray chaotic ripples spread outwards at an astonishing speed!
Wherever the ripples passed, the solid ground of the Reincarnation Land cracked inch by inch, the gray-white rocks eroded and transformed by the power of chaos!
The ground beneath the three gray figures trembled violently, forcing them to take flight.
Now!
A glint flashed in Kai’s eyes. His left hand formed a hand seal, his right hand forming a sword-like gesture, and he pointed at the three gray figures in mid-air.
“Chaos – Threefold Return to Origin!”
Three points of gray light shot out simultaneously from his fingertips, their speed surpassing thought, instantly striking the three gray figures!
This time, the gray light didn’t directly attack their bodies, but instead pierced their cores, the “nodes” where the laws of reincarnation condensed.
The three gray figures froze simultaneously, the mist churning violently and emitting silent roars.
They attempted to invoke the laws of reincarnation to resist, but the power of chaos had already invaded the law nodes, beginning to dismantle their structure from within.
“Break!”
Kai uttered a low shout.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three gray figures exploded simultaneously, transforming into three pure wisps of reincarnation energy.
This time, they couldn’t reform, because the law nodes had been completely destroyed by the power of chaos.
The three wisps of reincarnation energy hovered in the air for a moment before being absorbed and transformed by Kai’s chaotic domain, becoming nourishment for the domain’s growth.
Having dealt with the three gray guards, Kai didn’t relax at all; instead, his expression became even more solemn.
He looked up into the depths of the Land of Reincarnation.
There, the gray-white mist slowly parted to both sides, revealing a straight road.
At the end of the road, a majestic gray palace could be vaguely seen.
A grand, indifferent voice, seemingly from endless ages past, echoed from the direction of the palace, reverberating throughout the entire Realm of Reincarnation:
“Inheritor of Chaos…you have finally arrived.”
The voice was devoid of emotion, yet carried an aloofness that looked down upon all living beings.
Kai gripped the Dragon-Slaying Sword tightly and walked along the path, step by step, toward the gray palace.
As he stepped onto the palace steps, the palace doors opened silently.
Inside the hall, nothing was there, except for a constantly shifting, grayish-white ball of light suspended on the highest platform at the deepest part.
Within the ball of light, countless faces appeared and disappeared, some crying, some laughing, some joyful, some sorrowful.
Was that the true form of the Lord of Reincarnation? Or rather, its manifestation in this realm? ”Hand over the souls of the Hu clan, and I might spare your life.”
Kai stood in the center of the hall, his voice calm yet unwavering.
“Hehehe…”
A low laugh echoed from the gray-white ball of light, filled with mockery and pity. “Spare my life? Inheritor of Chaos, do you know that the moment you stepped into the Land of Reincarnation, your fate was sealed?”
“Oh?”
Kai raised an eyebrow. “Sealed for what?”
“Sealed to become a part of me, nourishment for the growth of the Laws of Reincarnation.”
The Lord of Reincarnation’s voice turned icy. “Your chaotic power is indeed special, effective against my Laws of Reincarnation. But this is my domain, and I control a portion of the Laws of Reincarnation in this realm. You have no chance of winning.” As
soon as he finished speaking, the Qi of Reincarnation within the hall surged violently!
Countless gray-white chains of law extended from the void, coiling towards Kai like living creatures!
These chains were unlike those used in previous attacks; they were covered with complete runes of the Law of Reincarnation, containing the supreme truths of the Laws of “birth, aging, sickness, and death,” “cause and effect,” and “reincarnation of the true spirit”!
This was a true attack of the Laws, touching the very source of the Great Dao!
Kai’s expression changed slightly. He unleashed his Chaos Domain at full power, and simultaneously, the Dragon-Slaying Sword unleashed countless Chaos Sword Auras, slashing towards the chains of the Laws.
Clang! Clang!
The Chaos Sword Auras struck the chains of the Laws, producing a metallic clang!
The chains vibrated violently, the runes on their surface flickering, yet they were not severed!
Instead, even more chains of the Laws surged in from all directions, enveloping and compressing Kai’s Chaos Domain layer by layer!
The domain’s range was compressed from three hundred zhang to two hundred zhang, one hundred zhang, and fifty zhang!
Kai felt the pressure increase dramatically. The Chaos Stars within his body spun wildly, continuously outputting Chaos Power to maintain the domain, but the rate of consumption far exceeded the rate of recovery.
“Useless.”
The Lord of Reincarnation’s voice was devoid of emotion. “Here, I am the law, I am order. Your chaotic power may be able to restrain reincarnation, but the difference in magnitude is too great. It’s like a cup of water can extinguish a candle, but it can’t extinguish a sea of fire.”
“Is that so?”
A fierce glint flashed in Kai’s eyes. “Then let’s see if your sea of fire engulfs me first, or if I evaporate your cup of water first!”
He held back no longer, pushing the “Primordial Qi Refining True Scripture” to its limit, completely fusing the four forces within his body, and the chaotic stars erupted with unprecedented light!
“Chaos – Creation of Heaven and Earth!”
Kai gripped his sword with both hands and unleashed his strongest sword strike to date towards the ball of light where the Lord of Reincarnation was located!
This sword strike contained all his understanding of the Dao of Chaos, creating heaven and earth from chaos, establishing order from disorder, and evolving all things from nothingness!
Where the sword light passed, the gray-white Qi of reincarnation was forcibly separated, the chains of law shattered inch by inch, and the entire hall trembled!
This sword strike briefly broke through the suppression of the laws of the Land of Reincarnation, carving out a passage to the Lord of Reincarnation!
The sword light ultimately struck the grayish-white ball of light.
*Swoosh…
* The ball of light trembled violently, its grayish-white light dimming by a third, and a muffled groan emanated from within.
“Good! Well done, Chaos Creation!” For the first time, the Lord of Reincarnation’s voice carried a flicker of emotion—surprise, and perhaps even a hint of…excitement? “Your potential is greater than I imagined. By devouring you, my Law of Reincarnation might advance further, perhaps even…filling its gaps.”
“Want to devour me? Let’s see if you have the ability!”
Kai gritted his teeth and unleashed another sword strike.
But this time, the Lord of Reincarnation no longer passively defended.
The ball of grayish-white light suddenly expanded, transforming into a ten-zhang-tall grayish-white giant phantom.
The giant’s face was blurred, only its eyes resembled two swirling grayish-white vortexes, deep and endless.
“Reincarnation – Tribulation of Rebirth!”
The giant phantom raised its hand, pointing at Kai.
Instantly, Kai felt an irresistible force descend upon him!
It wasn’t a force attacking his physical body, nor a force attacking his soul, but rather a force directly affecting his “existence” itself, affecting his “cause and effect,” “fate,” and “reincarnation”!
Countless images flashed before his eyes…
He saw his own cries at birth, the hardships of his childhood cultivation, the trembling of his first kill, the grief of losing loved ones, the despair of the Earth Fire Ancestor’s demise…
These were the “reincarnations” he had experienced in the past!
Not only that, but countless “futures” he had never experienced, yet which might occur—
he saw himself completely assimilated by the laws of reincarnation, becoming a walking corpse; he saw himself perish in battle, his soul sucked into the Gate of Reincarnation; he saw himself defeat the Lord of Reincarnation, only to have his Dao foundation collapse due to excessive consumption…
These were the possible “reincarnations” of the future!
Past, present, and future—fragments of three lifetimes of reincarnation simultaneously assaulted Kai’s soul, threatening to plunge him into endless illusions of reincarnation, causing him to lose himself and ultimately be assimilated by the laws of reincarnation!
“What terrifying reincarnation powers…” Kai gritted his teeth, maintaining his composure, shrinking his chaotic domain to three feet around his body, desperately resisting this attack that struck at his very core.
But the Lord of Reincarnation’s attacks came wave after wave.
“Reincarnation – Karma Slash!”
The giant phantom raised its hand again, and countless gray-white causal threads appeared in the void. The thickest of these connected Kai to the Lord of Reincarnation.
The giant phantom grasped the causal thread and yanked it sharply!
“Pfft!”
Kai was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his aura instantly weakening by three-tenths!
This was not a physical attack, but a direct severing of causality, damaging his very essence! If he hadn’t been protected by the power of chaos, that attack would have been enough to cause irreparable cracks in his Dao foundation!
“Reincarnation – Fate Alteration!”
The giant phantom raised its hand for the third time. This time, it intended to directly alter Kai’s “fate,” forcibly reversing his fate from “life” to “death”!
Kai felt his life force rapidly draining away, as if an invisible hand was pushing him from a state of “living” towards “death”!
“Damn it… Is this the power of a being who truly masters the laws?”
A sense of powerlessness welled up in Kai’s heart. Although he had merged with the Chaos Origin Seed, causing his strength to surge, his comprehension and application of the laws were still far inferior to that of an ancient being like the Lord of Reincarnation.
It was like a child wielding a divine weapon who couldn’t defeat a master martial artist.
“This can’t go on…” A resolute glint flashed in Kai’s eyes. “I’ll fight!”
He focused all his attention on his dantian, causing the Chaos Star to spin wildly, even developing fine cracks on its surface.
He was going to forcefully activate the Chaos Star’s primordial power and unleash a forbidden secret technique recorded in the *Primordial Qi Refining True Scripture*—a technique he shouldn’t be able to use at his current level!
But just then…
“Enough.”
The Lord of Reincarnation’s voice rang out, tinged with amusement. “I’ve seen your strength. Very good, qualified to become my highest-ranking ‘Reincarnation Envoy’.”
The giant phantom withdrew its hand, and Kai felt all the attacks vanish instantly. However, his condition was extremely poor; he was covered in blood, his aura was weak, and his Chaos Realm had shrunk back into his body, making it difficult even to stand.
“However, before that, you need to experience what true ‘the suffering of reincarnation’ is.”
The Lord of Reincarnation’s voice turned icy. “Only then will you understand how foolish it is to resist me.” With
that, the giant phantom opened its palm towards Kai.
Within its palm, a grayish-white vortex slowly rotated, emanating an aura that sent shivers down Kai’s spine.
That was… the manifestation of the very essence of the Law of Reincarnation!
“Endure reincarnation. When you have experienced a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation, tasted all the bitterness of the world, and finally lost yourself, I will come to guide you, grant you new life, and make you my loyal servant.”
The vortex detached from the giant’s palm and slowly flew towards Kai.
Kai wanted to resist, wanted to dodge, but his body was as if bound by invisible shackles, unable to move.
His chaotic power was exhausted, and his soul had been severely injured in the previous attack; he couldn’t even muster a trace of strength.
He could only watch helplessly as the grayish-white vortex disappeared into his brow.
Cold.
Endless cold.
Then came darkness.
Absolute darkness.
Kai’s consciousness, like a candle flickering in the wind, swayed in the darkness before finally going out completely.
In the moment before he lost consciousness entirely, he vaguely heard the indifferent voice of the Lord of Reincarnation:
“See you a hundred years from now. I hope that by then, you will understand what…destiny is.”
The last glimmer of light vanished.
Kai was plunged into eternal darkness.
The Land of Reincarnation returned to silence.
Only that grayish-white ball of light floated silently, countless faces rising and falling within it, a new, blurry face slowly coalescing…
“Shanshan…please open the door…”
Kai stood in front of Geng Shanshan’s door, shouting repeatedly!
“Kai, you convict, get out of here! My daughter is marrying Xiao Lei!”
Geng Shanshan’s mother, Jia Meili, kicked Kai hard and said!
“Impossible…” Kai shook his head.
Geng Shanshan came out, grabbed a few hundred yuan, and threw it at Kai’s face: “Get lost! Why not? I’m going to marry Brother Lei!”
“Geng Shanshan, you dare betray me? Behold my Dragon-Slaying Sword…”
Kai was furious, his hand waving as he was about to unleash the Dragon-Slaying Sword.
But after waving it for a long time, nothing appeared.
“Kai, you fucking want to make my wedding day miserable?”
The wedding procession arrived, and Xiao Lei got out of the car and roared at Kai.
Kai saw Xiao Lei, his eyes filled with murderous intent: “Xiao Lei, do you believe me…?” ”I don’t believe it, beat him up…”
Xiao Lei waved his hand, and several bodyguards stepped forward, punching and kicking Kai.
“Holy Light Fist…”
Kai threw a punch, hitting one of the bodyguards in the stomach.
“You son of a bitch, you dare to fight back?”
The bodyguard was enraged and hit him even harder!
Soon, Kai was lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face.
He watched helplessly as Jiang Shanshan got into the wedding car and left, and Jia Meili even spat on Kai.
Kai endured the excruciating pain and got up, looking at the departing convoy with a face full of confusion: “Where are my abilities? Where is my chaotic energy?”
Screech…
Bang…
Just as Kai stood up, he was hit by a car.
Su Yuqi got out of the car.
Kai saw Su Yuqi and was overjoyed. He quickly got up and grabbed Su Yuqi, saying, “Yuqi, I didn’t expect to see you here. Are you alright?”
“Who are you? You’re blocking the way, get out of the way…”
Su Yuqi pushed Kai away and drove away.
“Yuqi, Yuqi…” Kai roared, chasing after the car.
“Grandpa, look at that guy covered in blood! He tried to scam me, but he got beaten up?”
Gu Ling’er, holding Gu Wentian’s hand as they walked, noticed Kai covered in blood and said.
“Ling’er, go get him a hundred yuan. He’s so young, why is he so bad at this?”
Gu Wentian shook his head and sighed.
Gu Ling’er nodded, tossing a hundred yuan to Kai: “My grandpa said, don’t try to scam me at such a young age.”
“Ling’er, it’s so good to see you…”
Kai was overjoyed to see Gu Ling’er.
Gu Ling’er, however, was terrified: “You bastard, I don’t know you! Get lost! I’m from the Guardian Pavilion, or I’ll arrest you!”
With that, Gu Ling’er grabbed Gu Wentian and quickly left.
Kai stared blankly at everything. He didn’t understand what was happening. Why didn’t they recognize him?
Helpless, Kai returned home to find several thugs demanding money from his mother, Tang Hongying.
His mother, blind, was trembling as she took the money.
“Stop! You bastards, apologize to my mother right now!”
Kai yelled at the thugs.
“Kai, you’ve only just been released, and you’ve gotten bolder, daring to talk to us like that?”
A bald thug looked at Kai, sneered, and then punched him.
“Beat him…”
The thugs beat Kai, and Tang Hongying could only kneel on the ground, crying and begging for the money.
After the thugs left, Kai lay on the bed, his eyes lifeless, his whole body numb.
He felt his heart was dead!
How could his life have turned out like this?
Just when Kai was about to give up all hope, a voice pulled his dead heart from hell to heaven.
“Kai, it’s time to wake up…”
