Mercury? You’re telling me that thing was Mercury?0

Ji Jue’s mind buzzed incessantly. Stiffly, he turned back. For a moment, he really wanted to ask the Seer, Then why don’t you just say I’m Mercury too?0

But the truth was right in front of him, and he couldn’t exactly argue against it.0

“What… exactly happened to her?” Ji Jue asked hoarsely. “What did she turn herself into?”0

The Seer let out a silent sigh. “I don’t know. Don’t you people from the Ember Path understand this better than I do? No one can say what a sage leaves behind after death. Especially someone who clung to her obsession until the very end.”0

Ji Jue had nothing left to say. He could only look again in the direction the figure had disappeared.0

Someday, when he died, would he also resemble that thing? No. He would be overestimating himself to think that he really could become something like that. He would have to be at the level of an Ember Celestial Being, or a remnant of a sage. This was not a level a mere newbie, unimportant Chosen One like him could ever reach.0

Even though that thing had done nothing at all and only touched his face before leaving, who knew what...0
