Child of Destiny



...…

The group immediately left after seeing that Shin was fine. But since he needed to rest a little more, he stayed in the room as the others decided to go back to the resort.

At first, Cloe wanted to stay behind, wanting to take care of Shin. But with his insistence that he was fine, she could do nothing but comply and leave with the others.

Once they left, Shin stayed seated on the bed while observing his body. He knew that something had changed but he was not sure what it was. With that, he could only check everything by doing an Internal Inspection.

After entering the Deep Meditation, he cast his consciousness inside himself, inspecting every part of his body. But after a long time of inspection, he did not find anything. He also summoned his Mental Energy but found out that nothing changes, not even a hint of improvement.

He stayed like that for a couple of moments before deciding to enter his Sea of Consciousness.

Swoosh!

He arrived at the place deep inside his consciousness and arrived at where he met Uno before. It was a place with an endless horizon with the appearance of the sky both above and beneath him.

He also saw his Niwan Palace, in the form of a Pagoda, suspended in the air above him. He observed it for a few moments before walking in a certain direction.

Not long after, he saw a figure sitting in the distance, seated in a lotus position. Shin knew what it was as he already met the guy for a couple of times.

Uno, who was currently in deep meditation, slowly opened his eyes before looking at the figure that was walking toward him. He shook his head a little before saying. "You shouldn't be here."

Shin did not immediately respond to him until he reached a couple of meters away from the latter. He then sat across Uno before asking. "Shouldn't you be sealed with my Martial Arts? What are you doing here now?"

Uno gave him a sneering look before answering. "Whose fault do you think is it?"

He continued to maintain his sitting position before continuing. "If not for you being in danger, then I will not be forced to come out."

"What happens? Are you the one who stopped the attack on that puppet? I remember that I've been hit by it directly and unable to dodge," asked Shin once again.

Uno shook his head. "It is not me. It is you."

He took a brief pause before continuing. "But because of that, he briefly lost control of your powers which led to the berserk Demonic Qi to sense your powerlessness in an instant and take advantage of it."

"It attempted to take over your body which is why I am forced to temporarily stop what I am doing and take over your body instead," he added.

"That happened? But I thought you were currently suppressing it?" asked Shin with a furrowed brow.

Uno clicked his tongue repeatedly and replied. "You are really clueless about the situation of your body, aren't you?"

"What I am suppressing is the already released seeds that you have alongside their Demonic Qi. The one that attempted to take over earlier is the third seed supposedly sealed deep within you."

Uno looked at Shin's blank face and shook his head as he continued. "You should have already suspected that you possessed all three types of 'Seed of Hatred'."

"One is planted to you by someone. The other is formed due to the traumas that you have experienced. And the one that you have inherited from your bloodline."

"The two that had recently awakened, alongside the inner demons that they have, have already been consumed by me. Their Demonic Qi is the one that I am suppressing. The third one is much powerful that even I cannot suppress."

Uno raised his head and looked straight into Shin's eyes before continuing. "Even if we combined our strengths, we still can't face it. Not in our current powers."

"That seal is buying us some time, but it will not be that long since its power has weakened due to your carelessness. Sooner or later, the third seed will be freed from it and will attempt to take over your body, so we have to grow stronger before it happens."

"This will not happen if you did not seal your own memories," he added while glaring at Shin.

Shin was silent for a moment before asking once again. "Why did I seal my memories? How much of them are true?"

Uno scoffed at those questions and answered mockingly. "Find the answers yourself. And learn about your own powerlessness, cowardness, and stupidness."

Shin was silent once again before continuing. "How?"

He knew that he was unconsciously running away from the truth. He did not know why and did not pursue it purposefully. But after hearing Uno, it seemed like had to find the answers now to avoid future accidents.

Uno sneered after hearing that. "As I said, find it yourself. I am not the one who sealed them, but you."

After seeing that he could not get any information about his past from Uno, Shin decided to ask about a different topic. "Then let's change the topic. Do you know about the powers hidden within me?"

He paused for a moment before quickly clarifying. "I am not talking about the seed, but the other form of power that concerns my Mentalism."

"Hah!" Uno could not help but laugh when he heard that. It took him quite some time before he looked at Shin with a mocking gaze. "Seriously? Instead of asking me about it, you better seek the answers yourself. It is your powers; you are supposed to know about it."

Swoosh!

He suddenly stopped when he was about to continue mocking Shin. A black flame suddenly rose from his body, seemingly trying to burn him alive.

Shin could feel the deep hatred and resentment from that flame, which instantly told him that it was the Demonic Qi acting up once again. He was also feeling how powerful it was even though it was only a portion of the real thing.

Uno calmly let the flame spread out his body before another one come out. This time, it was a white flame that fiercely fought against the black one.

After intervening with each other for a couple of moments, the two flames receded before gradually going back inside Uno.

After taking a couple of deep breaths, Uno stared at Shin and said. "You should go back. You are bothering me. I am currently busy, so I can't entertain you for long."

"Don't come back until you complete solidifying your Mentalism Path. We will naturally meet again when the time is right," he added before closing his eyes.

Shin stared at Uno for a couple of moments before releasing a helpless sigh. He then stood up and got ready to leave.

She was about to turn around and step away when Uno opened his mouth once again. "If you truly want to seek answers, then I suggest you go ask some assistance from that old man."

Shin halted in his tracks and turned back to Uno while asking. "Which old man?"

He knew that Uno was asking him to ask for some help from his elders. But which one of them? All of those elders were old men.

Uno was silent for a couple of seconds before continuing. "The one who will be guiding you for a couple of years. The one who will be teaching you how to combine 'your' Mentalism and 'my' Martial Arts."

"That old man will help you find the answers that you want," he added.

Shin knitted his brow and tilted his head before asking. "How do you know that?"

"I just know," answered Uno instantly.

Shin clicked his tongue when he heard that before turning around. He waved his head and said without turning looking back. "Let's chat again when I regain those memories back."

After that, he suddenly disappeared.

Uno reopened his eyes and stared at the spot where Shin had disappeared from before muttering with a serious tone. "You better hurry and grow stronger. I don't know how long the seal will last."

| Changing the angle, when someone looked at Uno from the sky, the clear surface of the transparent ground where Uno was seated suddenly changed. It suddenly darkened and showed the eternal abyss underneath.

Deep within that abyss, a huge silhouette could be seen. It had a pair of cold and horrifying eyes in crimson color. They stared at Uno for a couple of moments before a huge mouth was suddenly opened deep within the darkness.

Roar!

It released a deafening roar that shook the entire place.

The huge silhouette attempted to head over to Uno and broke the transparent energy separating the two of them, which also acted as the ground where Uno was seated.

But before it could even move an inch, countless chains of golden color suddenly appeared and wrapped themselves around the humongous figure, dragging it back deep into the abyss of darkness.

It struggles relentlessly, trying to break free but failed multiple times due to the powerful strength of the golden chains. They also carried a sacred and divine aura that suppressed the dark and eerie power that the huge figure released, making its efforts fruitless.

It was continuously dragged deep into the abyss of darkness, unable to do anything.

Uno lowered his eyes and looked at that humongous figure before saying. "You stay behave there, old dude. You will get your turn when we are done digesting these two."

After that, he closed his eyes once again and went back to meditating, returning to the silence and tranquility of the whole place.
