BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1859
Chapter 1859: I Don’t Mind
“But I’m clearly a human... I have parents that raised me from birth. How could I possibly be the Heavenly Darkness God?” An Lin didn’t know how to process this information.
If he really was the Heavenly Darkness God as opposed to a human, then how was he supposed to face his family and friends?
“The master of darkness who is able to engulf all and restart all things? That’s so badass!” Lan Xiaoni became very excited upon hearing this, and she whooped with elation as she latched onto An Lin’s hands.
“That’s not the point. I’m not even a human...” An Lin was still in disbelief.
“So what if you’re not a human? I’m not a human either!” Lan Xiaoni held tightly onto An Lin’s hands, as if she was trying to instill a hint of calmness within him.
“There are so many beings who are not humans. It doesn’t matter if Big Boss An Lin is a chicken, or dog, or pig, I don’t mind either way.” Lan Xiaoni’s expression was quite firm as she spoke.
An Lin’s lips twitched. “Can’t you use a better analogy?”
Lan Xiaoni leaned her head against An Lin’s arm. “No matter who you are, you’ll always be my Big Boss.”
An Lin was quite touched to hear this.
However, he was still feeling quite confused and uneasy about who he was.
“I know what you’re concerned about.” The Heavenly Sea God looked at An Lin with his eyeless head. “You’re worried that you’ll no longer be yourself once you become the Heavenly Darkness God, right?”
An Lin nodded in response.
The Heavenly Sea God splayed his hands open. “You are An Lin, and you are also Darkness. This has been established ever since you were born.
“Otherwise, why else do you think you possess the Tian Ming Dao Physique? This is just a way for the Heavenly Darkness God to refine your body and make you more able to accept the power of darkness should it return to you one day.
“Furthermore, why do you think you’re able to absorb the powers of other Heavenly Gods? It’s all because you used the engulfment power of darkness.
“You’re scared that you’ll become the Heavenly Darkness God? What a joke! You’ve always been the Heavenly Darkness God since the very beginning!”
The Heavenly Sea God’s words struck An Lin like a bolt of lightning.
There was no point in worrying about whether he would become the Heavenly Darkness God...
He WAS the Heavenly Darkness God already!
An Lin looked at his palm and his eyes lit up. “So I don’t even need to worry about these issues. I’ve been the Heavenly Darkness God from the beginning, and I’ve been using the power of the Heavenly Darkness God since the very beginning...”
“I’m very glad that you’re able to see this, Brother Darkness.” A mouth suddenly appeared on the Heavenly Sea God’s featureless face, and the mouth slowly curled up in what it must have thought to be a very friendly and reassuring smile.
“It’s just like how I’ve always been the Sea. I am a part of the Heavenly Dao, but ever since my sentient will emerged, I’ve always been me and that will never change.”
Lan Xiaoni listened to the two of them conversing amicably with one another, and she couldn’t help but feel like something was slightly amiss.
Their conversation continued.
“Then why do I now have the divine halo of darkness? And why am I unable to use the power of darkness?” An Lin asked.
“That’s because your power is incomplete...”
The Heavenly Sea God revealed the answer to him.
“Back when the Purple Star Civilization tried to crush the heavens, the first step was to secure darkness. Only after securing the power of absolute darkness can they terminate all things and create a new Heavenly Dao...
“Thankfully, they failed, but unfortunately, Darkness was severely wounded, and it fell into this world, where its broken and tattered power was forced to convert into a life form, thereby creating you...”
The Heavenly Sea God surveyed An Lin with a meaningful glance. “You also have a peculiar thing in your body that I can’t identify nor see through, and that thing is using all types of methods to repair your power of darkness.”
An Lin’s heart jolted upon hearing this. Could the Heavenly Sea God be referring to the system?
The system was repairing his power of darkness?
The Heavenly Sea God continued, “Furthermore, I’ve carefully analyzed all of your battles, and I’ve discovered through doing so that that thing can use a special method to overexert you and forcefully summon the power of darkness within your body when you fall into a dire situation...”
An Lin fell silent.
Lan Xiaoni immediately asked in a panicked voice upon hearing this, “What does this overexertion entail for Big Boss An Lin?”
The Heavenly Sea God glanced at Lan Xiaoni. “Theoretically speaking, aren’t I supposed to be your Big Boss?”
“I only have one Big Boss, and his name is An Lin!” Lan Xiaoni responded with unyielding stubbornness.
The Heavenly Sea God shook his head. “Then your Big Boss should know what I mean when I refer to overexertion.”
Lan Xiaoni turned toward An Lin with concern in her eyes.
“It’s fine.” An Lin pinched Lan Xiaoni’s delicate cheek and offered a comforting smile, “It’s just that my power would decrease slightly every time I use the power of darkness. It’s no big deal.”
“Really?” Lan Xiaoni was quite concerned. Her woman’s intuition told her that things were not that simple.
“Yes.” An Lin looked directly into Lan Xiaoni’s eyes and asked, “Is the underling doubting her Big Boss’ words?”
“Alright, I believe you.” Lan Xiaoni pouted.
In reality, she would listen to whatever An Lin told her.
Even if he asked her to do something extremely out of line, she would still do it.
This was her duty as his underling.
“Thank you for answering my questions, Brother Sea.” An Lin extended a polite salute.
“No need to thank me; we’re best friends, after all.” The Heavenly Sea God smiled and said, “You’ll figure this out for yourself as you continue to awaken some things.”
An Lin looked at the boundless expanse of liquid emanating terrifying energy fluctuations behind the Heavenly Sea God, and his lips twitched imperceptibly. This is how you welcome your best friend?
“Brother Sea, you’ve told me so much, so I’m sure you have something you want to say to me, right?” An Lin knew that if the Heavenly Sea God wanted to battle him, there was no need for him to explain so much to An Lin.
“Brother Darkness really does know me well.” The water human revealed a smile that he thought to be quite friendly, but it was actually very ghastly to look at. “Let me tell you what’s on my mind...
“Light and Earth want to destroy the human race through divine retribution.
“Life and Heaven want to destroy all living beings on the Tai Chu Continent and rebuild everything from scratch.
“I actually oppose both sides!”
An Lin and Lan Xiaoni’s expressions both shifted upon hearing this, as if they had heard something incredible. Both of them stared intently at the Heavenly Sea God, trying to verify the authenticity of his words.
“All of the Heavenly Gods and living beings in the world think that I side with the faction that champions the destruction of the human race, but they’re all wrong. All of this is just a front that I’ve put up for them to see!”
