Chapter 692: 692
Chapter 692: Xiao Lin’s Madness
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Asabanor snapped back from his thoughts, and he was incredibly curious when he heard Xiao Lin’s voice because within the corridor of time and space, other than time and space, nothing else could be transmitted, including sound. When he saw the energy around himself and Xiao Lin, he was no longer surprised.
Even though Xiao Lin could not change the sands of time and space like a god, he could still do something as simple as summoning up energy bundles to allow for sound to be transmitted. That was an ability only restricted to close distance, and even Xiao Lin could do nothing about it if the distance was too far. Of course, this power that he could manage was already very impressive.
“It’s good that you understand how to do it. Then, I won’t have to waste too much spit. Looking at you, you won’t be able to maintain this state for much longer. You should hurry up!” Asabanor looked at Xiao Lin as he urged him on.
Xiao Lin coldly snorted as he thought for a moment. Asabanor looked a lot calmer than earlier. With his understanding of the mad man, the guy definitely had a plan.
“Are you not afraid that I’ll kill you instantly? After all, I already know how to seal the passage. Even though you opened it, this passage isn’t something you can control at all. You merely know the method,” Xiao Lin suddenly said.
Asabanor slyly smiled. “My life is already in your hands. In truth, what’s the difference between being dead or alive in this river of time and space? Even if you don’t kill me, once you can no longer maintain this state, I will lose the protection of your energy, and never be able to escape the vast expanse of time and space. It’s a punishment worse than death. I would rather you kill me right now and give me some respite!”

Xiao Lin frowned and did not answer. He merely looked at Asabanor. Even though he was not afraid of that high priest with his current power at all, in terms of experience and knowledge, he could not compare with that old man that was hundreds of years old.
Xiao Lin started to get a headache. He had planned on killing Asabanor before Myth ended; that was something he naturally came up with. Asabanor was worth more to him as a dead man, but the guy seemed to not care about being dead or alive at all, and it did not seem to be something that was faked.
That caused Xiao Lin to hesitate. He could not help but think that Asabanor’s plan was for Xiao Lin to kill him. It was possible that the guy had some way to absorb Xiao Lin’s power right before the attack hit Asabanor.
Even though it did not seem very realistic, and nothing Xiao Lin knew could ever do something like that, he could not help but be cautious since he was facing Asabanor.
“You have a few minutes left at most,” Asabanor said calmly.
Xiao Lin could not help but remark to himself that Asabanor really was intelligent. In such a short amount of time, Asabanor was already able to analyze his power, and make such an accurate assessment. It was correct as well; he could only maintain Myth for five or six more minutes at most.
However, Xiao Lin did not express it, and said calmly, “I’m not in a rush.”
“I’m in no rush too.” Asabanor shrugged.
The two of them stared at each other again, but they could not make out anything from the eyes of their counterparts’.
Xiao Lin knew that he could not allow the matter to continue to be delayed, and that he needed to make a decision. Yet, Asabanor’s confidence felt as if he knew what decision Xiao Lin would make.

He could not wait any longer.
Xiao Lin took a deep breath as he finally made a decision. He suddenly cut off the energy connection with Asabanor, then he threw himself into the river of time. At that moment, he sank into countless golden sands, and the sands were uncountable pockets of time and space.
Asabanor’s reasoning was simple. If the passage was an unending river, and the main connection was the Timesand, then what Xiao Lin needed to do was cut off the river. Of course, cutting off the river was something impossible; it was like someone trying to cut off the whole ocean.
However, Xiao Lin could at least cut off that small river that flowed toward Earth, completely cutting it off! In order to do that, he would need to find out which passage was the one that headed to Earth, and the key to that was the sands of time. Each sand was a pocket of time and space.
Some of those pockets belonged to the New World, and some of them belonged to Earth. There were also countless ones that belonged to unknown spaces. He needed to accurately find the ones that belonged to Earth. Only then could he cut off those that flowed toward Earth and he could use that to shut off the passage.
That was something only Xiao Lin could do.
The moment he started, there was no way for Xiao Lin to escape anymore. Then, he would have no way of controlling Asabanor. Normally, Asabanor would disappear into the river of time and space without his protection.
However, Xiao Lin suddenly thought of an even better choice. At the final moments, he suddenly took out a portion of power from his body and used it to bind Asabanor, who still had not drifted that far away. With the power of Myth, it was quite simple for Xiao Lin to do something like that.
“What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me now?” Asabanor’s calm face changed a little; the difference in their power meant there was no way for him to fight back.
Xiao Lin smiled coldly. “Kill you? No no no, that would make it too easy for you. The moment I seal off the passage, I will forever be sealed here. It’s quite lonely, so why don’t you accompany me?”
“What! What?! You! You mad man! You’re crazy!” Asabanor’s expression was shaken, and after losing his composure, he realized what Xiao Lin wanted to do.
“Hahaha! I can’t believe that even you are willing to admit I’m crazy at the final moments. It’s my honor!” Since Xiao Lin had already made the decision, he no longer cared, and enjoyed Asabanor’s words like a prize.
“You want to absorb me? Xiao Lin! You actually want to absorb me! Do you know what kind of punishment it is for two souls to fight for eternity?!” Asabanor’s body was shaking; it was shaking in fear. It was the first time he had ever revealed an expression like that. Even when Xiao Lin had just used Myth, he never had that expression.
“That’s right! I want to absorb you. I won’t kill you, nor will I let you go. I want to be bound to you forever. I’ll watch over you forever.. Only then will I be able to relax!” Xiao Lin’s words were filled with determination.

Being unable to even take his own life, Damien struggles to get past each day, looking for something to live for. With every passing day, Damien becomes more solemn and impassive. Three months later, Damien has almost given up, but to his surprise something unexpected happens. He is given the chance of a lifetime; to take part in a study focused on researching the effects of VR games on quadriplegic patients. Authors Note: If you find that the dialogue from the prologue to chapter 5 seem to be not that smooth, I apologize for that, it was my first time writing a fanfic so the dialogue was not in a format that is ideal. However, due to reader comments and some research I will try to attempt to improve the dialogue from chapter 6 and onwards. I may or may not come back to edit the first few chapters since I would have to rewrite most of it and I would rather spend that time writing out more of the story.
