Chapter 572: Voice From The Heart
The meditative world should have been filled with various planets that represented the natural elements of the world. Normally, Xiao Lin could feel elemental and death energies. As for nature energy, that was a specialization of the elves, and not something he could master.
However, the current meditative world was completely empty, and because of that extremely rare emptiness, Xiao Lin found something else in that world.
It was just as if he was standing in a dense forest. His eyes were completely obscured by the leaves, but he was not able to see the flowers that were hidden within the forest. However, when the forest suddenly disappeared, no matter how small the flowers were, they would be exceptionally eye-catching.
During this examination, in that strange environment, Xiao Lin had seen the flower that had eluded him for who knows how long. Normally, due to the natural energies, he had ignored that strange existence. The strange energy was very weak, and it felt alive, but it did not have any special characteristics of life. It moved like energy, but was not like any of the big three.
The center of that power was the mysterious black hole in his body!
Xiao Lin was even more shocked. His meditative world was different from everyone else, that was something he realized early on. When he activated his Miracle state to enter the meditative world, he would notice a deep blackhole in the universe. It was a very peaceful blackhole — other than consuming the elements nearby, it was peaceful most of the time. The blackhole was also the origin of Xiao Lin’s killer technique: the dragon’s breath.
Even though he could never figure out the principles behind it, Xiao Lin had always been happy to enjoy the benefits that the mysterious blackhole brought. Yet, now that Xiao Lin was really observing the blackhole, he felt a faint but very clear movement.
What was that?
Xiao Lin wondered to himself deep in his subconscious. Even if that blackhole was in the deepest part of his body, even he did not know where it was. Yet, that strange phenomenon caused him to hesitate, wondering if he should continue diving further in.
Even though the academy currently taught what was recognized as the safest and most reliable basic meditation skills, meditation itself had always carried dangers. If someone’s meditative world suddenly collapsed, or if another person used a special method to invade a meditative world, then their consciousness would be trapped in the destroyed world, and the meditator would be severely impacted. It would be just like if someone was bedevilled; even the chances of that happening was more or less the same as a plane going missing. It was still not completely risk free.
The strange environment was like that; even if he wanted to investigate further, he would at least need to wait until he returned to the academy. Only with the help of a high-ranking teacher or even the president could he continue.
Xiao Lin quickly made a decision, and after that, he prepared to leave his meditative world. Yet, an old voice suddenly came from the deepest parts of the black hole. The voice sounded like an exploding star, and completely covered the whole universe. It felt like it was speaking to his heart, and even the other students who were idling around Xiao Lin were startled when their monitor, who had been quietly meditating, suddenly shuddered.
“You’re finally here. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Do you know how hard it is for me to talk to you?”
Xiao Lin’s consciousness was blank for a brief moment because what was happening had exceeded all his expectations. However, he quickly calmed down as he shouted in his mind, “Who are you?! Why are you here, in this world that is mine?!”
“No, it’s not your world; it’s our world!” That old and calm voice corrected Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin almost got goosebumps. The origin of that blackhole was his body and consciousness. The voice’s words meant that the thing was inside his body and was a part of him!
“I don’t think I have a split personality!” Xiao Lin could not afford for his composure to be too unsteady. That would force him out of the meditative realm. However, he trusted that the sarcasm in his consciousness could be felt by that person.
“I am a part of you, and I am the reason you can be here. Whether or not you believe it, it’s the truth.”
“If you keep on with all that nonsense, I’ll leave the meditation!” Xiao Lin warned. Since the person had waited until this day to speak to Xiao Lin, then it was definitely no simple matter. It was possible that the strange circumstances of the examination was what allowed them to meet.
“You’re only a very ordinary lifeform. Now, that word is not appropriate; it should be lowly. In the universe, your life isn’t even worth a firefly. No one would ever notice you. Yet, you possess the most basic energy in the universe. Were you never curious as to why?”
Xiao Lin was dazed for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. It was a calm he never felt before, and even his organs suddenly felt cold.
Xiao Lin had always thought he was a very ordinary person, and it was that way for the first twenty or so years of his life. He had been just like the billions on Earth. If not for this academy, the next part of his life would have been to find a regular job, marry a regular wife and live a regular second half of his life.
However, he had received an admission letter, entered Dawn Academy, and even obtained an SS-rank talent. He had unrivalled learning ability, which shocked even himself. Later on, he learned that Dawn Academy had always been very particular about choosing new students, and it had been impossible for him to be picked with his attributes. Before, Wang Yuelan from the Admissions Department had told him that his name was originally not in the new students register.
Even though Xiao Lin had wondered at the time if he had used some ability to bend time in order to give himself the admissions letter, there were still too many things that could not be explained.
Xiao Lin did not pay too much attention to the admissions letter. He felt like he was just lucky, and put it down to fate. Maybe he had done many good deeds and God was rewarding him?
Yet now, at that moment, Xiao Lin suddenly woke up. Everything he had was not down to luck, nor was it a gift from God. Even if he did not know the true reason, the answer might actually be in that blackhole.
