Hero? Are You Worthy?-Chapter 342 - 217: Advice from the First Generation Jie Luo (4)

Chapter 342: Chapter 217: Advice from the First Generation Jie Luo (4)

Jie Luo had certainly died, a well-known fact throughout the Sky Dome Continent.

However, Qin Chu had a strange feeling that the death described in the soul fragments was not the same as the death of Jie Luo known to everyone on the Sky Dome Continent.

Moreover, what did it mean by the words Jie Luo left in the soul fragment that "They" had stolen everything from him: his body, life, soul, and memory?

The bizarre content, coupled with Ireta’s indifferent tone, although there were no particularly horrifying content or images, made one’s scalp tingle.

Qin Chu’s body shivered, knowing that this time he might uncover some real mysteries of the world.

He perked up his ears, unwilling to miss any detail.

Ireta’s voice didn’t pause for too long and soon continued:

"Perhaps, the content I left might make you feel puzzled..."

"However, I can start from the beginning..."

Qin Chu was rather lucky, as Jie Luo had left the message he wanted to convey within the soul, and these messages had scattered due to the shattering of the soul. The information in this soul fragment seemed to be the beginning of all the information.

"I come from a beautiful world called Earth."

"The place I lived was a country filled with a romantic air."

"I had a beautiful girlfriend, I swear she was really pretty... but, why do I always find her best friend more attractive... Ah, I am such a jerk, I need to confess."

"Who would blame a land so filled with romance, though?"

"So, it’s not me who’s at fault, it’s the world."

"Okay, I might be rambling a bit, this seems to be just some irrelevant nonsense... Now, here comes the truly important content."

"I and my girlfriend’s best friend had a romantic night, and we were both very satisfied."

"Perhaps too satisfied, I died, probably... When I woke up, I found myself in a mysterious place."

"A time tunnel, do you know that kind of thing? It felt similar to that."

"I seemed to be on my way to some mysterious world."

"This must be what they call crossing over; maybe I would become the protagonist in some novel, comic, or film... I regret a bit, I mean I should’ve prepared a glove embellished with a few gems beforehand..."

"Then, I heard a woman’s voice; she said I was the chosen Hero."

"Destined to go to a world plagued by demons, shrouded in gloom, to bring light and hope to this world."

"Although I couldn’t see her face, her voice was pleasant, she must have been a very beautiful goddess; if possible, I really wanted to see if she would be more thrilling than my girlfriend’s best friend..."

"I wanted to clear things up, then suddenly, the mysterious passage was blocked."

"I found myself in a dark and deep place, seemingly the Void, and a few... um, probably seven bizarre figures appeared before me."

"These guys were really ugly, clearly up to no good; they actually wanted me to submit and become their follower?"

"Hahahaha... What a joke, I am a noble citizen of Frank, and in the history of my country, heroes like Saint Joan have emerged; never surrendering is our creed."

"I believe in God."

"I would definitely not surrender to these ugly monstrosities."

"I thought just to mess them up then and there."

"Wait, what was it these ugly monsters were saying? They wanted to erase my consciousness from my soul, even destroy my soul, and then create a false soul..."

"Wait, wait, wait... please don’t, if my consciousness is erased, my soul destroyed, would I still be me?"

"Please, where’s the goddess who summoned me, are you there? Save me."

"You’re not serious, are you?"

"Alright, I surrender!"

"To hell with tradition."

"I knelt before these seven freaks, devoutly showing my submission; they were so powerful, it frightened me, ugly though they were, but becoming their follower seemed like a decent choice. After all, they promised me supreme power, strength, wealth, and countless beauties if only I would submit. I swear, I’ve never been so pious, not even when praying to God."

"Actually, about the beauties, I don’t really care; that’s not who I am."

"After all, I’m not very familiar with the Sky Dome Continent yet; perhaps these seven ugly creatures are actually representing the side of justice?"

"But damn it, my submission didn’t bring the benefits it should. It seemed that my initial refusal had already enraged these monsters."

"My consciousness was stripped away."

"I watched as they copied all my memories, some bizarre tentacles, entwined around me, injecting an extremely foul-smelling slime into my body, stating I was unattractive, unfit to be labeled as human..."

"They completely reshaped my body to fit the human concept, an entity neither fat nor thin, neither tall nor short, with a face that was neither robust nor delicate, eyes neither large nor small, skin neither white nor dark."

"Just looking at that form, I felt a chilling terror."

"He was a human, but one entirely devoid of any distinctive features, merely conforming to the concept of a human."

"They injected some weird silken threads into the newly born Jie Luo’s body, infused my memories, and then his eyes began to glisten. He changed from a puppet into a soul with common sense, and they handed him a mission!"

"To hunt destiny... and Hero."

"I know, he had become the new Jie Luo." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"Whether it is the people of the Sky Dome Continent or the Hero from the Different World, heed my advice, stay away from this world. If you cannot stay away, then find a corner to hide in."

"And my doom has already arrived. Is this the punishment for betraying my lover?"

"I am truly a pitiful clown."

...

Ireta’s words came to an end here.

She opened her eyes, and her black pupils brimmed with sadness.

And Qin Chu only then realized that his body was covered in goosebumps.

The First Generation Brave had died as soon as he was summoned to this world.

During the summoning process, he was intercepted by the Void Evil God, who erased the original Hero’s consciousness and soul and crafted a puppet completely controlled by them.

The Void Evil God could create false souls, but they couldn’t endow these souls with common sense or make the person appear normal. Therefore, they took a shortcut by instilling Jie Luo’s memories into it, thus hastening the completion of their product.

After the completion, the original Jie Luo’s soul was shattered, his consciousness erased, and the Second Generation Jie Luo truly descended.

However, for some unpredictable reason, the First Generation Jie Luo’s consciousness wasn’t completely cleared, thus still having a chance to imprint these marks in the soul.

The Second Generation Jie Luo, the Hero revered by the Sky Dome Continent, an obsession for the Hero Team, was from the beginning an incarnation of evil. Everything was just an act by the Second Generation Jie Luo. Everything that happened afterward on the Sky Dome Continent had nothing to do with the First Generation Jie Luo; his existence had essentially vanished.

And his purpose was to hunt destiny and the Hero.

The hero could understand, but what then is destiny?

It’s said that when the First Generation Jie Luo was summoned, he seemed to have heard a woman’s voice, even feeling as if he was traveling through a time-space tunnel.

Qin Chu never experienced any of that; he was simply up all night playing video games and woke up in a Different World.

Who was that woman? Could it be the Goddess imprisoned in the Void Cage? Qin Chu felt that was unlikely, as the Goddess, being heavily imprisoned, likely lacked the ability to summon heroes from a Different World. Perhaps it’s related to the so-called destiny?

The content decoded from Jie Luo’s soul fragments, while resolving some of Qin Chu’s doubts, introduced many new perplexities.

For instance, why weren’t the Void Evil God able to completely cleanse the First Generation Jie Luo’s soul, allowing it to awaken?

Although the true purpose of the Second Generation Jie Luo was to hunt destiny and the Hero, fighting demons wasn’t his real task. Why then did he go to duel the Demon King, and why did he die by the hands of the Demon King?

Did the Second Generation Jie Luo truly die?

As a puppet of the Evil God, an incarnation of the Evil God, even the Demon King might not necessarily be able to do anything to him. It somehow seemed too careless for him to die.

"It’s gone," Ireta said quietly.

"Are you satisfied with these answers?"

Qin Chu nodded and then shook his head.

He wanted to know everything.

Looking at Ireta, Qin Chu took out another soul fragment and handed it to her.

Ireta did not speak, merely silently took it and began to explore the marks stored in this soul fragment, just like before.

This soul fragment was smaller, and the content stored inside was not much.

Moreover, it appeared to have some discontinuity with the previous one.

A dispassionate voice started to emerge from Ireta’s mouth:

"The more I look at this world, the worse it appears. The people of this world are all mad; their souls are filthy beyond redemption."

"That woman, called Catherine, right? She has a fine appearance and a sexy figure, but her soul is full of madness and filth, utterly repulsive."

"That man, merely a Hero recently thrown into this world, hasn’t done anything; he doesn’t even realize what’s happening to him."

"Just because Jie Luo... well, Second Generation Jie Luo, said this man might challenge his status as Hero, simply killed that man mercilessly."

"She severed the frightened Hero’s neck..."

"Watching the blood gushing from the neck, she nestled against the Second Generation Jie Luo, her face full of twisted, sickly smiles, willing to do anything for that Evil God’s incarnate, for what she called Jie Luo."

"I can feel that the Second Generation Jie Luo has a strong desire for her, yet he can do nothing but watch; it must feel great to be so helpless, hahaha, serves him right."

"This is the thirty-seventh Hero to be killed..."

"Damn destiny!"

Thirty-seven?

That number seemed slightly off, didn’t it?
