As Lory was getting further away from the beach suddenly eight-meter-high waves came towards her like a giant wall ready to crash on top of her head, but Lory face remained indifferent as the waves rolled over her Lory clenched her fist and the waves froze instantly, her purple eyes glow and the ice break in pieces when she walks through it and after she far enough the frozen wave behind her suddenly melted and the waves hit the sea and roll to the shore as normal, meanwhile Lory stand on the block of ice in the middle of ocean staring at the figure above the volcano mountain.

"Stop right there Princess!" Huo Long in human form suddenly appeared in front of Lory, he was floating with his feet only inches above the water, "You will get hurt if you get too close" Huo Long reminded her.

​​

Lory frowned slightly without refuting Huo Long, she turned her gaze back to Zhao Li Xin again, "Is he going to be okay?" she sounds a bit anxious. 

"He has finally reached the last stage of the Sage level and enter the first stage of God's realm, everything depends on him now…" Huo Long replied. 

[It's okay, the kid is strong, nothing will happen to him] Girsha comforted her. 

[I know…] Lory said with imperturbable expression.

At the same time, Zhao Li Xin sank into herself as she tried to control the fire that was raging within him, the blue veins on his forehead protruding significantly, his whole body was drenched in sweat. 

Zhao Li Xin had gone through so many breakthroughs in his life, some were fine, some were bad, but nothing could compare with this, Zhao Li Xin felt like he was burned from the inside out and all his veins stretched like a rubber band, the muscles in his body tensed up and his heart beating like crazy as if it would jump from his chest in any moment, the pain was unimaginable still this wasn't what worried him God knows he has lived through pain as long as he can remember no one can deny his ability to handle pain.

What worries him was what comes next when his pain gradually decreased it replace with numbness, he floating in the darkness he can't differentiate between the top and below, his breathing becomes slower like he was fallen in hibernation, then slowly everything begins to shape.

Once again Zhao Li Xin stood there like a statue, terrified of what would he see again, fear was not something he usually feels, in fact, he had forgotten what fear was like until he met Lory, suddenly he experiences many types of fear on daily basis, he feared she would get hurt, fear she would be sad, fear she would feel lonely, and most of all fear of losing her, alas right now he was forced to fear all of those fear at once.

he wanted to keep his eyes closed but some force forced him to open his eyes and then he saw Lory in shabby and dirty clothes talking to a strange woman with long silver hair. 

"Your brother accepts this burden, he is willing to carry the fate of this world on his shoulders..."

"Then I'll carry him..."

"You know how much it will cost you?"

"I do"

Zhao Li Xin wanted to look away but he couldn't, the pain in her voice made her heartache 'This dream again!' he cursed in his heart.

Ever since he cultivated closer to the God realm he was haunted by dreams about Lory's past, dreams that became clearer every time he achieved another breakthrough, he didn't know how his cultivation was connected to dreams about Lory's past, however, Zhao Li Xin didn't have time to ponder because the next scene would be even more horrific than before and once again he was forced to see every pain she had been through.

As expected everything becomes pitch black it means he would witness another scene of Lory's life, Zhao Li Xin grits his teeth as he braces himself for another horrendous moment in Lory's life, not long after he heard an icy voice that is colder than a glacier. 

"Lu...cie….nth..."

"A great king Lucient….is…..here...how marvelousss..."

His blood froze in his veins, Zhao Li Xin was suffocated by terror, his fists gripped tightly until his nails pierced his skin, however, it was not his safety he thinks, but rather Lory he was worried about because he recognized this voice too well, yes, how could he forget, this was Lazarus' voice!

Meantime, Lory stood still, looking as strong and fearless as ever, she replied, "No, I am Lorient, his descendant, where are you?" Lory sounded wary even though her expression remained calm. 

"Descendant?…why….. is the honorable Lucienth heir visit my humble home….?"

"I want your power to steal God's Sword" Lory said

Zhao Li Xin took a sharp breath because he knew what would happen to Lory afterward, he wanted to run to her, shield her away and protect her inside his arms, sadly this was just a dream, there was nothing he could do to change what had already happened. 

Conversation going on between Lazarus and Lory, Zhao Li Xin forced to see Lazarus's excitement and Lory's despair as she pleaded for something that would eventually destroy her in a cruel way.

"Let's make a Deal," Lazarus joyfully said.

Just when he thought everything cannot gone worst he saw Lory break the shield with her staff soon after the staff exploded in her hands, Lazarus let out thunderous laughs and the ground begins to shaken. The next thing happened hundreds of black snakes crawl from the water, the snakes slithered on the cold stone floor, all snakes move toward Lory, the snakes coiled on Lory's feet then slowly climb to her thigh moving to her waist, arms, and chest leaving only her head alone, the snake circle on her necks while Lory closes her eyes as she readily accepts her fate. 

Zhao Li Xin saw it and panic surged within him, "No, Lory run, please run..... RUUUN!" Zhao Li Xin screamed with all his might but Lory didn't move, maybe she couldn't even if she wanted to. 

"Now princess, let start our deal…." Lazarus's icy voice linger in the air.

The snake coiled around Lory's neck exposed its fangs in front of Lory's face, with a quick move the snake bit her neck, blood flowing from his neck. Lory grimaced slightly as the snake slowly pierced her skin, it was a truly disgusting sight. Lory's body started shaking as she tried to endure the pain, Lory clenched her fists until her hands bled, The image of Lory's torture by Lazarus curse was clearly reflected in Zhao Li Xin's eyes, yet he could only watch helplessly, anger and sadness rushing through his head. 

"Lory, you are so stupid..." His head hung low as he whispered with tears welled up in his eyes.

Unable to hold it in anymore Zhao Li Xin started screaming "STOP, Lazarus stop!" Zhao Li Xin continued to scream even though she knew it was useless, "Don't hurt him, bastard, I will kill you, I swear to God I will kill you - I WILL KILL YOU!" he barked non-stop like crazy.

Suddenly a deafening screech shook the air then Girsha came over, Zhao Li Xin's stunned when he saw a pair of giant wings break the wall, Zhao Li Xin face lit up as he felt tremendous joy for Girsha's arrival, finally, someone will save his Lory.  Girsha's majestic appearance gave Zhao Li Xin some hope that Lory will be alright, Zhao Li Xin didn't know how many times he thanked Girsha in his heart.

Zhao Li Xin sees Girsha's desperate attempt to protect Lory, how the wings turn from white to black as the night sky, he heard Lazarus fury roar, then Lory fainted while Lazarus disappeared. Zhao Li Xin then saw Lory was distraught when she wakes up and realizes how much Girsha had sacrificed for her, it was the first time he saw Lory sobbed uncontrollably like a lost child Zhao Li Xin saw the light in her beautiful eyes dimmer until nothing is left in those eyes.

"There was a period in my life I couldn't remember like I was floating in a darkness I can see but I wasn't there is like my body moves on its own"

Zhao Li Xin suddenly reminded of what Lory had said to him once, she never explicitly explained what really happened after she lost Girsha maybe because her consciousness deliberately hides some of her memory because it was too painful.

When Lory spread her black wings Zhao Li Xin knew that Lory had lost herself by this point, losing Girsha was too much for her to bear and if she loses her brother too, Lory wouldn't able to take it. That's why she chose this path because to her death is much better than living alone.
