Chapter 204 - Ordained
Lin Mu’s eyes went wide as memories of the plague came rushing back to him. He remembered his parent’s suffering and how the people of the town died. How the mayor did not act quickly and many people had to die before the cure was procured.
Duan Ke and Jing Wei were looking at Lin Mu and saw the very apparent change that happened in him. His aura seemed to have changed and his eyes turned red. Even his breathing became rough and the spirit qi in the surroundings started to become disturbed.
If Lin Mu felt the calling of the world to exterminate the invader before, now it was his own rage that was doing it. Unprecedented fury appeared in his heart as the scenes of his parents suffering and dying kept on replaying in his mind.
~Snap~
Lin Mu gripped the armrest of the chair hard breaking it in the process. The wood that was hard and would not break even from a full-strength attack of a body tempering realm expert crumbled like chalk in Lin Mu’s hand.
Unknown to him the aura of the demonic path appeared in the mysterious ring once again. Xukong was quick to respond this time and immediately shouted out to Lin Mu, but still, the same thing as before happened. It was as if a barrier had stopped his communication.
’Dammit, this is not the right time for this to happen. The aura of the demonic path shouldn’t be revealed this way, we don’t know how those two would respond.’ Xukong cursed to himself.
Duan Ke clearly witnessed Lin Mu breaking the handle of the chair and almost flinched from it. But that was not all, his aura had now changed to something else. She couldn’t help but feel a hint of fear rising in her heart.
"Grandfather, what is happening to him?" Duan Ke questioned feeling uneasy.
"I don’t know, but it’s certain he’s agitated for some reason." Jing Wei spoke as he stood up ready to act.
Lin Mu meanwhile was muttering something to himself and had his head lowered, his hair hiding his expression from that angle.
’Kill’
’Slaughter’
’Eradicate’
"Wha-what is that?" Duan Ke let out feeling afraid.
"The world’s will... it... it..." Jing Wei struggled to speak feeling lost at the entire situation.
The beam of light that was surrounding Lin Mu faded away after a few seconds as he stood up. In the front of him floated a character. The character was written in Dao script and glowed with the same light that had surrounded Lin Mu before.
Jing Wei stared at the character and recognized what it meant.
"Ordained..." He muttered.
The character then went towards Lin Mu’s forehead and imprinted on to it, fading away the next instant.
"Ordained?" Duan Ke questioned feeling confused.
Although Jing Wei had lightly spoken the word, she had still heard it clearly since she was standing close to him.
"He has been ordained by the world’s will." Jing Wei answered with an astonished expression.
***
A few seconds ago, when Lin Mu was hearing the mutterings of the demonic figures on his mind another voice called out to him. This voice did not have any identifying features and sounded as if it was the amalgamation of countless beings.
This voice had drowned out the mutterings of the demonic figures and had silenced them. At first, Lin Mu was confused as to what it was, but soon he realized. Although the voice was different than that of the demonic figures, what it was saying was the same.
The Voice spoke, "Kill the Invader. Obtain my grace. Avenge my people. Avenge ’your’ parents."
Lin Mu recognized the voice was the world’s will. Before it had only put a thought in his mind when he first saw the avatar of the invader, but this time it spoke in person.
Upon hearing its word’s Lin Mu did not hesitate and immediately declared.
"I accept."
