From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Suddenly, the elves opened their mouths one after another, as if singing in unison to Karno, yet no one truly made a sound.

The fragrance became even stronger.

The eerie scene made Karno's head swell and his body tremble uncontrollably.

Not good!

In a mysterious dimension, a wandering soul searched for a new body to host its consciousness. The soul had long lost its original body, but it still retained a strong will to survive and a thirst for power.

"The Fischer family's body would make an excellent avatar and weapon, and with that identity, I could infiltrate the Fischer family... The entity has not truly awakened, probably lacks self-awareness, and won't notice my change."

Shadow sensed Karno Fischer's increasingly weak body and the still surging life force within it, deciding to take it as its new shell.

It first infiltrated around Karno's body, wrapping his soul with invisible tendrils, making Karno's soul light seem dimmer under Shadow's oppression, as if it could extinguish at any moment.

Then, Shadow began to exert the mental power found within the Bloodline Domain, attempting to separate Karno's soul from his body.

This process was filled with pain and struggle. Karno's soul tried to resist in despair, but the difference in power was too great, and ultimately, Shadow slowly drew it out.

As Karno's soul departed, his body became hollow and weak.

Shadow took the opportunity to pour into this husk, attempting to merge with the body. Its consciousness gradually overtook Karno's form, beginning to control this new vessel.

In that chaotic, reality-transcending space, Shadow basked in the accomplishment of seizing a new body. Suddenly, an unprecedented fear struck like icy bones, causing it to shake uncontrollably.

This fear came not from any physical threat in the outside world but from a trembling deep within the soul, as if some ancient and terrifying presence was watching it! Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire

What!

Shadow slowly looked up, and the scene before it was so shocking it could barely think.

Within an endless darkness, a vast figure too immense to gauge slowly materialized—an entity beyond all creatures' understanding, its form twisted and bizarre, as if the embodiment of pitch black, holding secrets of infinite destruction. In the dense black mist without a trace of light, all it exuded was contempt and despair for all life.

"Ah! Impossible! Why has He already awakened..."

"The prophecy wasn't like this, absolutely not..."

"Is this an illusion?"

Before this power, Shadow was as insignificant as dust, all its wisdom, desires, and power seemed so trivial at this moment.

Now, all that was left was despair.

"Wisdom" recalled its homeland, annihilated by the otherworldly god "Lord of Ashes," unable to do anything but wait for everything to turn to ashes and flee.

Now, it tried to escape again but found its soul as if bound by invisible chains, unable to move. The terrible Will of the End surged like a tide, devouring Shadow's consciousness bit by bit—a despair that could not be resisted or escaped.

With each of Karl's "breaths," Shadow's soul dissipated bit by bit, until at last, it completely merged into the pitch black, becoming a part of Spiritual Power.

A small soul was thus utterly erased, and Karl stood still as if nothing had changed.

All the elves collapsed, and Karno Fischer's body did the same, the many soulless bodies merely became empty shells and would soon turn into real corpses.

Thus, Karno was about to fall into death...

"Whoosh!"

The rain fell like a burst from the sky, suddenly pouring down in the dense forest.

Dark clouds filled the sky, blotting out the sun, enveloping the entire forest world in a thick gray curtain.

The raindrops made a rapid and forceful sound, carrying an irresistible force, piercing through layers of leaves, eventually gathering into trickling streams, spreading quickly along tree trunks, roots, and every permeable inch of land.

Karno's soulless body was completely soaked in the rain, turning into a corpse.

Rune power...

"Death Retrospection"!

Activate!

Raindrops fell on his closed eyelids and slipped down his cheeks.

As the rain let up, a warm ray of sunlight once again pierced through the clouds, shining upon Karno's face.

His eyelids quivered slowly, then he abruptly opened them!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Though the depths of his soul ached, deep within his heart he leapt with joy for having escaped from the clutches of death. The body he had just lost seemed foreign, so he struggled to rise, standing alone in the middle of the damp forest floor.

The resurrected Karno looked up to taste the rainwater, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

The mighty Child of the Sun God, Prime Minister William, the strange "Wisdom," all chased after their goals, only to fall into dire straits. He himself had been trying to escape, but all efforts had failed. Yet after each failure, he not only survived but also managed to break free from the predicament.

He could feel that this "Wisdom" was a formidable character, arguably one of the world's puppeteers, likely with many arrangements, plans, conspiracies, but because of the accident of dying here today, all those things were useless, unable to play any significant role in the future, becoming utterly meaningless.

Spirituality boiled up.

"Such is the fickle nature of destiny. Those who embark on the Path of Revelation must grasp this point, never hoping to fully control their own fate."
