Chapter 1070: The Penance Stare

After being stared at directly into his soul by Ghost Rider’s Penance Stare, Lin Rui’s injured sea of consciousness unexpectedly unsealed memories. Moreover, besides Lin Rui’s soul, Ghost Rider also saw some other things in Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness and later informed Lin Rui about them.

It was Johnny’s reminder that made Lin Rui even more certain that there was something wrong with the system bug.

And when parting ways with Johnny, he reminded Lin Rui once again and secretly left a trace of the power of Ghost Rider’s Penance Stare in Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness. Perhaps, even Lin Rui himself didn’t know that Johnny had made such a small gesture.

After all, the sea of consciousness is the most important place for a person. Moreover, the Penance Stare represents extreme justice. In other words, if Lin Rui were to commit any wrongdoing in the future, the hidden Penance Stare in his sea of consciousness would appear to burn his soul.

Of course, regardless of whether Lin Rui knew about the Penance Stare hidden in his sea of consciousness, its appearance at this moment was an unexpected piece of good news for him.

It turned out that the system bug’s actions coincided with Johnny’s purpose of leaving the Penance Staree in Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness. When Johnny discovered another soul existing in Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness, he was worried that the other person would harm Lin Rui, so he left the power of the Penance Stare to protect him. And now, it was finally put to use.

Buzz!

“Ah!… Damn it!” Under the burning of the hellfire energy of the Penance Stare, the system bug let out a miserable scream, as if it would be completely burned by the Penance Staree in the next moment.

While screaming in agony, the system bug quickly retracted all the energy it had previously released to consume Lin Rui’s Psychic Power. However, being weak to the energy attack of the Penance Stare, the already fragile system bug couldn’t hold on.

Buzz!

The converged white light dots showed signs of dispersing, and occasional white light radiance scattered and dissipated in Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness.

“Why… Why is it like this!?… I refuse to accept it!!” As more and more white light was burned to ashes by the power of the Penance Stare, the voice of the system bug became increasingly desperate.

If the system bug had stayed hidden inside the System Shop, even if the Penance Stare knew of its existence, it wouldn’t pose any threat. After all, the System Shop was a very special existence, claiming to be an integral part of the sea of consciousness, which could be said to be within Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness and not within it at the same time.

But now, the system bug couldn’t possibly return to the altar inside the System Shop to continue being sealed. It had already lost the ability to summon the System Shop.

Of course, if it successfully devoured Lin Rui’s Psychic Power and formed a complete consciousness, it would inherit the relationship between Lin Rui and the System Shop. However, it no longer had the opportunity.

“Ah!… I refuse to accept it!!… This shouldn’t be my fate!”

Puh!

Under the continuous gaze of the Penance Stare, the white light dot of the system bug finally completely disintegrated into scattered and disorderly white light. Before this white light dot completely dispersed, the system bug let out a desperate and unwilling roar, then fell completely silent as the white light dot disintegrated.

Hoo hoo~

The system bug, which had been accompanying Lin Rui since the discovery of the System Shop, was extinguished just like that under the direct gaze of the Penance Staree, its sorrow unknown.

Of course, for Lin Rui, who was still unconscious, it was definitely a good thing. Without the Penance Stare, he might have been completely worn down by the system bug.

After eliminating the system bug, the black hollow eye sockets of the Penance Stare floating above Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness still didn’t reveal anything.

Then, the flaming eye sockets quietly disappeared, just like when they first appeared, without a trace, leaving one wondering if they had completely vanished or were hidden once again.

And just as the Penance Stare extinguished and the system bug disappeared, Lin Rui’s faint azure Psychic Power began to gather again, slowly taking on a humanoid form. Although it had been weakened by the system bug, Lin Rui’s consciousness was still persistently recovering. As long as Lin Rui’s Psychic Power could gather and his consciousness could awaken, even in his weakened state, he could still contact the System Shop and exchange for something to expedite his Psychic Power recovery.

However, looking at the current intensity and weakness of Lin Rui’s Psychic Power, it was uncertain how long it would take for him to recover on his own. It could be a few weeks or even several months.

Boom!

Just as Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness was calming down and recovering, a wave of Psychic Power, even more powerful than Lin Rui’s, the extinguished system bug’s, and the vanished Penance Stare’s, suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness.

Accompanying this exceptionally potent Psychic Power was a dazzling golden light that instantly illuminated Lin Rui’s empty sea of consciousness.

After illuminating Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness with its powerful and grandiose golden Psychic Power, it quickly contracted, gathering into a golden sphere. This golden sphere was larger and more solid than the white dot of the system bug that had been extinguished by the Penance Stare. It was undoubtedly the Psychic Power of the Ancient One Sorcerer.

Upon appearing in Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness, the Ancient One Sorcerer immediately noticed Lin Rui’s weakened Psychic Power slowly gathering. Moreover, the Ancient One also discovered some scattered white Psychic Power nearby, different from Lin Rui’s faint azure Psychic Power.

“Hmm? What are these? Could it be that Kaecilius also used mental attacks on him?” Observing the scattered white light, a voice of doubt emerged from the golden sphere of the Ancient One Sorcerer.

Then, a fluctuation swept through the white light within the golden sphere in an instant. Afterward, the Ancient One confirmed that the white light was not Kaecilius’ Psychic Power.

“What peculiar Psychic Power, but it happens to be useful in helping this kid recover quickly.” The Ancient One, who hadn’t figured out the origin of the white light, didn’t dwell on it and muttered lightly.

Hoo hoo~

In the next moment, another fluctuation emanated from within the golden sphere, spreading throughout Lin Rui’s entire sea of consciousness.

After spreading to the entire sea of consciousness, this wave of fluctuation quickly receded. However, during its retraction, it gathered all the scattered Psychic Power in Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness.

Once all of Lin Rui’s Psychic Power was gathered, the Ancient One continued to exert pressure on the periphery, causing them to gather into a humanoid form at a much faster pace than before.

As for the white light, the Ancient One incorporated it into Lin Rui’s Psychic Power through a special method, conveniently replenishing his lost Psychic Power.
