Chapter 1859: I Dont Mind

But Im clearly a human I have parents that raised me from birth. How could I possibly be the Heavenly Darkness God? An Lin didnt know how to process this information.

If he really was the Heavenly Darkness God as opposed to a human, then how was he supposed to face his family and friends?

The master of darkness who is able to engulf all and restart all things? Thats so badass! Lan Xiaoni became very excited upon hearing this, and she whooped with elation as she latched onto An Lins hands.

Thats not the point. Im not even a human An Lin was still in disbelief.

So what if youre not a human? Im not a human either! Lan Xiaoni held tightly onto An Lins hands, as if she was trying to instill a hint of calmness within him.

There are so many beings who are not humans. It doesnt matter if Big Boss An Lin is a chicken, or dog, or pig, I dont mind either way. Lan Xiaonis expression was quite firm as she spoke.

An Lins lips twitched. Cant you use a better analogy?

Lan Xiaoni leaned her head against An Lins arm. No matter who you are, youll always be my Big Boss.

An Lin was quite touched to hear this.

However, he was still feeling quite confused and uneasy about who he was.

I know what youre concerned about. The Heavenly Sea God looked at An Lin with his eyeless head. Youre worried that youll no longer be yourself once you become the Heavenly Darkness God, right?

An Lin nodded in response.

The Heavenly Sea God splayed his hands open. You are An Lin, and you are also Darkness. This has been established ever since you were born.

Otherwise, why else do you think you possess the Tian Ming Dao Physique? This is just a way for the Heavenly Darkness God to refine your body and make you more able to accept the power of darkness should it return to you one day.

Furthermore, why do you think youre able to absorb the powers of other Heavenly Gods? Its all because you used the engulfment power of darkness.

Youre scared that youll become the Heavenly Darkness God? What a joke! Youve always been the Heavenly Darkness God since the very beginning!

The Heavenly Sea Gods words struck An Lin like a bolt of lightning.

There was no point in worrying about whether he would become the Heavenly Darkness God

He WAS the Heavenly Darkness God already!

An Lin looked at his palm and his eyes lit up. So I dont even need to worry about these issues. Ive been the Heavenly Darkness God from the beginning, and Ive been using the power of the Heavenly Darkness God since the very beginning

Im very glad that youre able to see this, Brother Darkness. A mouth suddenly appeared on the Heavenly Sea Gods featureless face, and the mouth slowly curled up in what it must have thought to be a very friendly and reassuring smile.

Its just like how Ive always been the Sea. I am a part of the Heavenly Dao, but ever since my sentient will emerged, Ive always been me and that will never change.

Lan Xiaoni listened to the two of them conversing amicably with one another, and she couldnt help but feel like something was slightly amiss.

Their conversation continued.

Then why do I now have the divine halo of darkness? And why am I unable to use the power of darkness? An Lin asked.

Thats because your power is incomplete

The Heavenly Sea God revealed the answer to him.

Back when the Purple Star Civilization tried to crush the heavens, the first step was to secure darkness. Only after securing the power of absolute darkness can they terminate all things and create a new Heavenly Dao

Thankfully, they failed, but unfortunately, Darkness was severely wounded, and it fell into this world, where its broken and tattered power was forced to convert into a life form, thereby creating you

The Heavenly Sea God surveyed An Lin with a meaningful glance. You also have a peculiar thing in your body that I cant identify nor see through, and that thing is using all types of methods to repair your power of darkness.

An Lins heart jolted upon hearing this. Could the Heavenly Sea God be referring to the system?

The system was repairing his power of darkness?

The Heavenly Sea God continued, Furthermore, Ive carefully analyzed all of your battles, and Ive discovered through doing so that that thing can use a special method to overexert you and forcefully summon the power of darkness within your body when you fall into a dire situation

An Lin fell silent.

Lan Xiaoni immediately asked in a panicked voice upon hearing this, What does this overexertion entail for Big Boss An Lin?

The Heavenly Sea God glanced at Lan Xiaoni. Theoretically speaking, arent I supposed to be your Big Boss?

I only have one Big Boss, and his name is An Lin! Lan Xiaoni responded with unyielding stubbornness.

The Heavenly Sea God shook his head. Then your Big Boss should know what I mean when I refer to overexertion.

Lan Xiaoni turned toward An Lin with concern in her eyes.

Its fine. An Lin pinched Lan Xiaonis delicate cheek and offered a comforting smile, Its just that my power would decrease slightly every time I use the power of darkness. Its no big deal.

Really? Lan Xiaoni was quite concerned. Her womans intuition told her that things were not that simple.

Yes. An Lin looked directly into Lan Xiaonis eyes and asked, Is the underling doubting her Big Boss words?

Alright, I believe you. Lan Xiaoni pouted.

In reality, she would listen to whatever An Lin told her.

Even if he asked her to do something extremely out of line, she would still do it.

This was her duty as his underling.

Thank you for answering my questions, Brother Sea. An Lin extended a polite salute.

No need to thank me; were best friends, after all. The Heavenly Sea God smiled and said, Youll figure this out for yourself as you continue to awaken some things.

An Lin looked at the boundless expanse of liquid emanating terrifying energy fluctuations behind the Heavenly Sea God, and his lips twitched imperceptibly.

This is how you welcome your best friend?

Brother Sea, youve told me so much, so Im sure you have something you want to say to me, right? An Lin knew that if the Heavenly Sea God wanted to battle him, there was no need for him to explain so much to An Lin.

Brother Darkness really does know me well. The water human revealed a smile that he thought to be quite friendly, but it was actually very ghastly to look at. Let me tell you whats on my mind

Light and Earth want to destroy the human race through divine retribution.

Life and Heaven want to destroy all living beings on the Tai Chu Continent and rebuild everything from scratch.

I actually oppose both sides!

An Lin and Lan Xiaonis expressions both shifted upon hearing this, as if they had heard something incredible. Both of them stared intently at the Heavenly Sea God, trying to verify the authenticity of his words.

All of the Heavenly Gods and living beings in the world think that I side with the faction that champions the destruction of the human race, but theyre all wrong. All of this is just a front that Ive put up for them to see!
