Chapter 6444: What Did You See? “Should we tell him?” The twins exchanged glances. “No, it’s our secret.” Right shook his head. “You smelled the stench of shadow, something that shouldn’t be possible given your cultivation.” The skull said. “Are you looking down on us?!” Both jumped up and glared at the skull. “You two? I couldn’t have done it during my prime.” The skull said. “Hmph, what’s special about you? We didn’t only smell it, we got something amazing there too.” Left bragged. “Damn right, he was too weak so he couldn’t smell it, let alone get anything there. Poor fella, as useless as a dog.” Right laughed. The skull was furious and jumped out of Li Qiye’s shoulder, shouting: “Little bastards, you two weren’t alive when your father dominated!” “He’s our father?” Left asked Right. “I don’t know...” Right shook his head. The skull calmed down and said: “Where did you smell it?” “Don’t tell him.” Left told right.” Li Qiye who has been observing the sleeping man interjected: “Where else? They were lying right below.” “Don’t tell him!” Both tried to stop Li Qiye. “Impossible, the villainous heaven wouldn’t have allowed that.” The skull said. “It’s long ago, and the villainous heaven didn’t know.” Li Qiye shook his head. “So it happened?” The skull remained skeptical. “Of course, I don’t always know what things I’m stepping on.” Left laughed. “Not things, shadow.” Right corrected. “Yes, that’s it, shadow.” Left agreed. “Then it’s the right stench, how inconceivable.” The skull looked deep in thought. “Why inconceivable?” Both asked. “The primordial can only birth us, and a shadow in the villainous heaven’s presence? Impossible.” The skull said. “True.” Right said. “No, we were there to see it, 80 million years too. So our thing is fake?” Left disagreed. “No, it’s real and amazing, the villainous heaven has it too.” Right said. “Yeah, we risked our lives for it.” Left said. “Something the villainous heaven has?” The skull glanced at Li Qiye and asked: “What do you think?” “You should ask the villainous heaven, not me.” Li Qiye said: “I’m afraid no one can give exact details.” “Haha, no one can ask and return alive, the villainous heaven wouldn’t answer either.” Right laughed. “Indeed.” Left agreed. “Yes.” The skull said: “The villainous heaven is no longer the same as before.” “It’s still him.” Li Qiye said: “It’s just that you all haven’t evolved or rather, let go. He did from the beginning.” “You’re saying he let go, and this letting go is what birthed the shadow?” The skull said. “I haven’t spent time thinking about this, it’s a possibility.” Li Qiye said with a serious expression. “Let go of what?” The twins asked. “Would the same happen if you let go?” The skull asked. “It shouldn’t, so I’m unsure.” Li Qiye said. “It must have been a mistake, that’s the only way to explain the shadow. It wouldn’t happen to you or him, so why the villainous heaven?” The skull said. “Could it be deliberate?” Li Qiye considered this idea. “To what goal?” The skull couldn’t come up with an answer since it wouldn’t match their perceptions of the villainous heaven. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂 “To be oneself?” Right understood something. “Yes, I remember, I once wanted to be myself.” Left nodded. “Idiot, we’re ourselves now.” Right said. “No, the current us aren’t necessarily ourselves. We can be smart, very smart, smarter than the boss.” Left shook his head. “Are you saying we’re stupid now? Then why don’t we change to the smart version?” Right asked. “Say, what if you want to become a different version? Do you already have one?” The skull asked Li Qiye. “Hard to say.” Li Qiye stroked his chin and said: “If there was one, chances are it would have been extinguished by me.” “Right, right, we were so smart back then but since we thought intelligence was useless, we chased it away.” Right nodded. “No, intelligence ran away.” Left said. “Hmm, another self, it does explain some things.” The skull said. “Not quite, the villainous heaven would be in the know then.” Li Qiye said. “When you let go, would whatever it is change?” The skull asked. “I do not know. In theory, the decision was made and I’m in full control. Nothing should change since it is still the self due to the dao heart.” Li Qiye said. “Yes, any change implies a weak dao heart.” The skull agreed: “Then why was there a shadow? Perhaps it had nothing to do with letting go.” Having said that, he asked the twins: “What did you two see?” “Nothing.” The twins shook their head repeatedly, visibly frightened. “You saw something.” The skull insisted. “What did you see?” Right asked Left. “What did you see?” Left answered with a question. “I saw you.” The two answered in unison. “Then you two wouldn’t be so afraid because you embarked on the immortal path with no chance of return.” “We didn’t see anything.” The twins insisted. “What do you think about the shadow?” The skull was interested. “Depends on if the villainous heaven was deliberate or it would be unpredictable. Moreover, destroying it is difficult, to say the least.” Li Qiye said. “It’s impossible, it can’t be destroyed at all.” Left and Right interjected.
