Looking at the two rings hovering in front of him, Lin Mu almost couldn't believe his eyes.
"How is this possible?" Lin Mu questioned himself.
But at the same time, he knew that the truth was in front of his eyes and all his senses were telling him this was reality.
There were not one but two rings!
"They are certainly linked… they have a similar design scheme." Lin Mu muttered.
"I don't think that's all, Lin Mu." Xukong said, a thought appearing his mind.
And just as Xukong said that, Lin Mu watched the two rings move.
~SHUA~
The two rings moved and became parallel to each other. Then, their spurs aligned before coming close.
Lin Mu's eyes were locked onto them as he watched them join up.
~HONG~
And when the two rings had joined, a wave of energy spread across the entire area. The wave of energy was not oppressive and yet it power was massive. It covered an area of thousand of kilometer in just a few seconds, making all those that felt it shiver unconsciously.
They didn't know what energy they had felt, or where it had come from, but they knew it was something terrifying.
Far from Lin Mu, back in the ruins where the Violet Mystic Life Tree used to be, the people of the Grand Sky Pavilion were stunned.
"The array has collapsed!"
"Elders! The energy compass just broke!"
Chaos soon spread, as many of the people had to stop working.
The head elder who sensed the energy fluctuation though, had a pale face. His body was covered in cold sweat, while his hands trembled.
"We need to leave…" he muttered.
Thousands of kilometers from there, a large man was standing over a tall mountain. Two horns could be seen on his head, while a large Axe hung from his back.
This was none other than the Steel Horned General, Niu Juo!
"That energy…" The giant of a man muttered, goosebumps covering his body.
"Who… or what… My bloodline is… trembling… Absolute fear…" The man found it hard to speak.
Unknowingly, he was already gasping for air.
It wasn't after a couple of minutes did Niu Juo managed to calm down.
He didn't know what had just caused that, but he knew it was nothing simple.
'Could it really be a Transcendent Immortal? But even the Emperor does not have such power.' He wondered.
Back at where Lin Mu was, the two rings had finished their merger and were now a single ring.
The ring had two levels, with the lower being grey and the upper being seven colored. Now the new ring only had five colored spurs that jutted upwards.
Looking at the new ring, Lin Mu didn't know what to think of it. It was simply too overwhelming for him. A foreign thought intruded in his mind, prompting him to raise his hand towards the ring.
Lin Mu didn't even realize when he obeyed this thought, as his body automatically moved.
~SHUA~
The newly transformed ring lowered towards Lin Mu's hand and slid down his right middle finger, taking the original place.
~HAA~
As soon as the ring took its place, Lin Mu felt an incredible wave of relief washing over his body. Before this, it was as if a piece of his soul had been torn away, but now it had returned and the harmony of his mind was returned.
"The ring… it was actually incomplete…" Lin Mu now understood.
It didn't take much to understand this after seeing the shape of the ring as well as its current change. Lin Mu liked it all, together with the burning desire as well as the feeling of loss that he had before.
"The burning desire… it wasn't just mine… it had come from the ring." Lin Mu muttered in realization.
And when Lin Mu understood this, a few old memories reappeared in his mind as well.
He recalled a dream he had a long time ago.
'This… wasn't this when we were hunting the Steel Horned Wolves?' Lin Mu recalled.
In the dream, Lin Mu had seen many multicolored spheres. And now that he had seen them again, Lin Mu identified what they were.
'Aren't these all… planets?' Lin Mu grasped. 'These are all worlds!'
Lin Mu continued through the memory and soon arrived at the grey area. Looking at the area, Lin Mu realized that it was actually an area that he knew about.
-n0ve1、com "Isn't this the Slate Lands of The Holy Topaz Continent?" Lin Mu identified it.
He had read about it and the location in his memory matched it exactly. The Slate lands were located further south from the entrance of the Desolate blood battlefield. Or more accurately, it was over seven thousand kilometer south from there.
Lin Mu focused on the memory as he saw the seven light orbs appear. They had the same colors as the ring, confirming for him that it was indeed the ring.
"The ring signaled me its location back then…" Lin Mu understood. "Wait… could it be…" he started to figure out more things.
'My reason of arrival in the Rust Sky world… it was predetermined from the start… The ring used the Ancestral Bell's ability and opened a channel to the Rust Sky world due to the second ring!' Lin Mu grasped.
His heart was beating fast at this revelation and was showing no signs of stopping.
Soon the memory of the old dream ended and Lin Mu recalled the intense burning desire from back when he was in the land of exile. The silhouette he had seen was very similar to the prince.
'The Eleventh prince had obtained the second ring, which lead to my ring making me feel the desire. The second ring was supposed to belong to me, but the prince took it before that.' Lin Mu now understood how it all happened.
~HUU~
Lin Mu let out a cold breath, as he felt a bit scared at the series of events that had all happened.
'The ring… it was always the ring…'
