Chapter 422: Chapter 196 Thought Palace_3

He was still worried about Luo Yan.

Although he had left early and even encouraged Rousi to follow and protect Luo Yan, Luo Yan should have safely escaped.

But he was afraid there might be accidents, since he had not seen Luo Yan safe with his own eyes, and even escaping himself had almost killed him. Who could guarantee that Luo Yan had definitely escaped to safety?

In an instant, the memories of a large group of people such as Steel Axe, Viper, Iron Hand, Lin An, Rocket Head, Swamp Crocodile, Black Knight, Nile Crocodile, Caiman... flooded into his mind.

Gao Xin was too lazy to sift through them in detail and swiftly glossed over them.

These were all people directly causally linked to him, whose lives eventually ended by his own hand.

Thus, originating from him, he was instantly connected to these people’s lives.

But Gao Xin didn’t care to dwell on that, he just wanted to find Luo Yan.

However, he couldn’t find him, but he did find Rousi’s!

"Did Rousi die?"

Gao Xin was horrified, but having found Rousi and not Luo Yan suggested... Luo Yan had not died at all.

He hadn’t the time to deeply reflect on Rousi’s life, because he felt he was about to lose himself.

Gao Xin could no longer afford to delve deeper; he was about to lose himself!

He had been dragged out of the river by the being from the other shore and was about to completely integrate.

"Get away!"

Gao Xin’s heart power burst forth, severing his connection with the other shore. He kicked with his legs at Yunzhong Tianyi in front of him, breaking free, and with a splash, fell back into the water.

Yunzhong Tianyi stared blankly, watching Gao Xin swim toward the opposite bank.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up for me!"

Gao Xin wanted to return to the human world, but no matter how much he wanted it, he simply couldn’t achieve it.

Even as he swam to the other side, he found another Silver Hand standing there.

He reached out, grabbed the Silver Hand, and once again connected to the endless life information of the Holy Spirit.

"What! This is also the other shore?"

Gao Xin was terrified, how could both ends be blocking him?

On this side was also a True Silver Hand, he shouted harshly, "Come then, merge with me!"

Gao Xin screamed, "I’m alive, I can still avenge you! I will kill Fujihara Tomohiro!"

The True Silver Hand transformed back into Yunzhong Tianyi, "What about my vengeance! I won’t allow you to kill Fujihara!"

Gao Xin was speechless, Yunzhong Tianyi was indeed someone he had killed...

He realized that the beings from the other shore were not humans, nor were they the Holy Spirit, but rather a part of the Holy Spirit’s residual glow, reflecting a facet in Gao Xin that contained countless people’s information.

Thus the person in front of him kept changing, the image continuously switched, all of them people he had seen, those with significant causality, those he had even directly killed.

"Damn it, blocked on both ends, how do I get back?"

"Because my physical body is thoroughly dead, I... have no way back!"

Gao Xin was trapped in a desperate situation, he was truly dead, with the Holy Spirit blocking both forward and back.

Was he to just stay in this river?

He silently soaked in the water, unwilling to go ashore, yet he felt the water growing deeper, wider, and faster.

In the end, it extended infinitely, turning into a boundless ocean, with no other shore in sight.

Gao Xin even felt himself unable to float up, sinking deeper and deeper... his soul about to dissolve in this water.

He slowly succumbed to darkness, with no way up, down, forward, or back.

Gao Xin had no choice but to merge with the Holy Spirit!

"No! There must be another way!"

Suddenly, he thought of something, his own imaginary Silver Hand, and where were his father and Aunt Yao?

Where had they gone? Why hadn’t they appeared?

Knowing that as his alter ego, even appearing in the virtual world...

"The virtual world!"

Gao Xin had a sudden epiphany, a blessing to his soul.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again, and the whole world shattered instantly, transforming.

Where the endless sea of misery had been, there was now a tranquil and beautiful landscape.

Below the majestic snowy mountains, dense forests and a clear lake, the scenery was breathtaking.

A quaint cabin sat delicately, the scene of Wei Lan’s virtual room.

And there were his father and Aunt Yao playing in the water, the imaginary Silver Hand squatting at the cabin door, drawing circles.

"Silver Hand!"

"Hahaha!"

Gao Xin landed in front of the cabin and hugged Silver Hand in one motion.

Silver Hand said irritably, "I thought you were planning to take us all beyond existence."

Gao Xin laughed, "I forgot... I have a dream world of my own."

"This is the palace within my own thoughts!"

Normally, there would be no way out, no path forward or back, every direction led to the other shore where one could only merge with the Holy Spirit.

But in reality, there was still one way—that was to not seek externally, but internally!

To rely on one’s own heart.

In a way, a second Holy Spirit had appeared in this world.

Only, one had existed since ancient times, amalgamating the experiences of all lives past and present.

While he was a newer existence, possessing only the informational memories of a few people.

But there was one unique aspect—he had self-awareness.

At that moment, Yao Junyan came over, "Chongguang, now you might not need to merge with the Holy Spirit, but you’re already dead. How are you going to live?"

Gao Xin looked down, yes, how was he going to live?

He was half-dead, relying on the awakening of the Holy Spirit, and capturing Holy Spirit Fragments as his Thought Palace to self-sustain.

From now on, he didn’t need to fear merging with the Holy Spirit.

As long as he didn’t want to, he could stay in his Thought Palace independently!

"But I don’t have a body in the real world to come back to life."

"Now, I can neither fully live nor fully die. Am I supposed to stay forever in my heart, never transcending existence, living here with everyone?"

Gao Xin looked around; in some sense, it wasn’t impossible.

There were people here for company, and the environment wasn’t bad, but it still felt somewhat lonely.

A year or two, five years or ten—it wasn’t impossible, but what about a thousand years, or ten thousand years?

Never transcending existence was in itself a terrifying thing, he might as well have merged with the Holy Spirit.

"Mouse, you still have one chance to come back to life," Silver Hand suddenly said.

Gao Xin looked at him, "How?"

Silver Hand said, "Before you died, you awakened Super-speed Regeneration."

"You are Tiger-level, as long as less than fifty percent of your cells have died, you would eventually recover..."

Gao Xin’s eyes brightened; so he had awakened Super-speed Regeneration.

So, it was okay. He hadn’t died completely, and he could still heal automatically.

"So, I just need to wait, and my body should soon recover."

However, Yao Junyan curiously said, "But if your body damage exceeds fifty percent, or if you fall into enemy hands during recovery, what then?"

Gao Xin spread his hands helplessly, "What can I do? It’s good that I brought Gao Shu along."

"She has entered Elephant Level; she should be able to protect me."

"Even if she is also severely injured, isn’t there Kai Ge? I didn’t expect Kai Ge to be Dragon-level, and it seems he’s not just any Dragon-level."

"No wonder Gao Shu isn’t afraid of anything; she has a strong backing... having a Dragon-level protector."

"I suppose I can bask in some of that glory too."

Right now, there was nothing he could do but wait for his body to heal, then return to the mortal world again.

"I’m so tired, I really want to sleep."

Gao Xin stretched lazily.

Silver Hand said coldly, "You still want to sleep? First, deal with these troublemakers."

"What?" Gao Xin was startled.

Right then, the lake burst open, and Steel Axe and the viper emerged, "Tai Sui, your life is mine!"

"Huh?" Gao Xin tilted his head.

Then from the direction of the distant snowy mountains, another person flew in, his Biological Field flaring with malevolent spirits above, it was Yunzhong Tianyi!

Then there were the Nile crocodile, Cayman crocodile, swamp crocodile... and a series of characters, all appeared.

Most of them harbored deep hatred for Gao Xin, now becoming the multiple personalities of his subconscious, attacking his main consciousness.

Only Rousi, calmly poking his head out from the second floor of the small cabin, resting his chin on his hand, "Hey, why isn’t there any meat in this house?"

"I’m so hungry, get some food!"

In a flash, Gao Xin’s Thought Palace was bustling with activity!
