See you again, Master.

"Why... Why...

WWWHHHYYY!?!?!?!

AAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Nux fell on his knees as he screamed at the top of his lungs. All the emotions he had been holding on to all this while seeped out, taking over him. His shout reverberated thousands of kilometres away, alerting all the cultivators in the area, some weaker ones even passed out, unable to take the pressure Nux's shout produced.

Some mortals even lost their lives, however, Nux didn't care. He had long since stopped caring about most things, and witnessing his wives' death in front of him yet again, he broke apart.

A life without System.

A life without System abilities.

A life without Zenith Flow.

A life without Bloodlines.

Different lives with different Bloodlines.

A life where he explored Zenith Flow and its different possibilities.

A life where he upgraded his System abilities to the extreme.

A life where he explored Yrniel's techniques to the extreme.

A life where he became a Divine Stage Cultivator and explored the Law of Self and how to use it.

A life where he used Faustina's method and used Yrniel's Will to grow stronger and tried to become a Primordial but failed because 10,000 were about to pass and he was forced to kill himself again.

Everything.

Nux did everything he could think of, spending thousands of years exploring all possibilities, trying everything he could to find even a single hint about forming his Law, not missing even the slightest of details... but in the end... He failed.

He failed again and again and again...

He didn't remember how many lives he had lived, he didn't remember how many years had passed since he last held his wives, all he knew was that the constant pain in his heart, the hopelessness, the despair, every negative emotion he was suppressing was getting stronger and stronger every passing second and now, with everything bursting out, it was simply impossible to control himself.

He was losing his mind.

"AAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Nux continued to scream.

Even in this life, he had failed.

He couldn't form his Law.

His mind couldn't even think of anything he hadn't done already.

He fought, he gave it his all, but in the end,

He was defeated...

"Aren't you going to help your disciple?"

One of the two women observing the scene of Nux breaking down questioned.

"...this is the first time he is showing real emotions."

Aeliana replied, her eyes fixed on Nux.

"What do you mean...?" Faustina frowned.

"Ever since I met him, never once did that child show real emotions, at least not consciousness. It is as if he had always been hiding something. This was the first time he had shown such strong emotions.

I believe letting him vent out all these emotions he had buried so deep in his heart is a better thing to do."

Aeliana explained.

Unlike Nux, who had memories of all the 'lives' he had lived so far, for Aeliana, this was her one and only life, and while she did get close to Nux in this life and accepted him as her disciple, Nux, who had done the same thing countless times before, didn't come out as someone 'genuine'.

Aeliana felt like rather than dealing with a real person, she was dealing with a 'persona'.

She felt like she was dealing with a broken man who was hiding behind the persona of a sane person.

"I thought the two of you were quite close..." Faustina frowned. She couldn't believe that she failed to catch Aeliana's true emotions.

"We are." Aeliana's answer was unexpected.

"But you said he was hiding something..."

"He was.

But I can sense it,

That man genuinely cared for me, I ought to return the favour, no?"

Aeliana smiled.

"Not to mention, talking to him was quite refreshing, even though it felt like that brat was only reciting something he had practised countless times before."

"Then aren't you worried about him?"

"I am."

"Then why aren't you doing anything?"

"As I said, I believe letting him vent out his pent-up emotions is a better choice here."

"I doubt you are right about that..."

Faustina spoke with an uncertain tone as she pointed at Nux.

Aeliana frowned, and when she turned towards Nux, she saw something that made her widen her eyes in horror.

"NUX! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

She shouted and suddenly, she froze.

This...

Why does... this scene look familiar...?

Why does it feel like something like this has happened before...?

Why does it feel like she had felt the same surge of emotions she was currently feeling before...?

Crack

Suddenly, Aeliana noticed a black crack in the space.

"Enemy attack?" Faustina frowned, in an instant, her Aura surged.

"Aeliana, get ready. I do not know how they managed to pass through our barrier, I think they have a cultivator with a strong grasp of Space Laws on their side, be careful."

The Progenitor warned the Vampire.

"..."

However, the Vampire didn't react.

"Aeliana?"

Seeing that the woman was frozen still, Faustina's frown deepened, before she think of anything and take action, Crack Crack Crack

More and more space cracks started appearing, it was as if the entire world was falling apart.

"What the hell is happening...?"

It didn't take long for Faustina to understand that this wasn't an enemy attack. Something else was happening... something she had never seen before... "Aeliana-" She turned towards the person who she felt would know the answer, but suddenly, "AAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Aeliana screamed as she felt a horrifyingly agonizing pain in her head.

Memories, a large amount of foreign memories rushed into her mind.

No, foreign memories was a wrong term, these were... these were her own memories... Memories of her past life...?

No, this was something different...

'Nux...?'

It was memories of her current life but... in all these memories... her interactions with Nux seemed slightly different... 'W-What is this...?'

"You did a lot more than a Master should do, despite having an incompetent disciple like me, you still believed in me, it helped me much more than you would think."

"This is why I will make sure to become your disciple again. That is one choice I did not regret."

"This is an illusionary world, Master. This world is not real, it is a part of my Trial."

"See you again, Master."

"AAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

With all the memories rushing into her head, Aeliana screamed again as the world around her continued to crack as if it couldn't hold on any longer.
