Chapter 555: A mysterious figure (2)
"Divine Soul... I see, so it's you." He said softly and stood waiting for the soul before him to speak.
But no matter how much time passed, Tang Yin did not speak.
"You don't speak?" the man asked once again.
His voice was strange.
It sounded as if it came from a faraway place despite being in front of him. Also, it was thick and echoed in this place. A strange echo.
No, it didn't sound like an echo. It was more like the voice was coming from a place as far away as...
'Antiquity... A voice so ancient that it sounds like it came from ancient times...' This was what Tang Yin could think of to explain this.
But what was the point of this, a voice coming from antiquity? He had never heard anything like this, so he could not understand why such a thought came to him.
Moreover, even though he knew that this man was speaking to him, he could not answer him.
His soul was not reacting.
The man then looked at him some more, and his eyes moved as if he understood something.
"Oh, I understand. With such a small power, it's normal that you can't talk here."
The thick voice spoke as if it was seeing through all of Tang Yin's secrets.
His eyes moved again at that moment, having found something interesting.
"Oh? What is this?" he said and moved his hand a little towards Tang Yin.
At that very instant, a mysterious power with a familiar feeling entered Tang Yin's soul and pulled something out of it.
Tang Yin was stunned when he saw it, 'The system!' He thought in shock, seeing that this man had materialized the system before him.

He even seemed to look at it with interest.
"Oh, such a strange source of power. Good creation," he said, pushing the system again into Tang Yin's soul, and he lost all interest in it.
Instead, he stared at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was trying to speak all this time, but there was no way.
The terrifying power exuding from this person's body felt unreal; it felt like a lie.
This seemed to be one of those nightmares where you can't move, even though you are awake. No matter what you do, your mind has convinced itself that there is a terrifying existence there, watching you, and believes that if you turn around, you could die.
The same feeling Tang Yin was having at this moment.
He could see and hear the person before him but could not speak to him. The aura exuding from his body was so terrifyingly strong that it prevented his soul from moving slightly.
'How could there be such a thing? Even my father couldn't give me that feeling,' Tang Yin thought. Although he felt his soul trembling, the truth was that it was his mind doing it. His soul was as still as if he wanted to play dead to avoid getting into this strange person's eyes.
Still, the truth was that he wanted to talk.
He didn't know who he was.
He didn't understand how he got here.
But he was sure of one thing.
The man in front of him could give him the answers to his questions, but he couldn't understand why he thought that.
That's why he wanted to talk to him.
Still, he couldn't even move his mouth.
The man looked at him for an indeterminate time and then sighed.
"Little Divine Soul, do not put yourself down. If you put yourself down, then no one in this world is worthy even to stand up. You have power; you are the Divine Soul. You just need to understand yourself," said the man as he patted his shoulder.
Along with his words, Tang Yin felt that someone had seen his whole story in a moment, which made him feel totally naked.
It was as if he was a child who had just been born, to whom his parents had just seen all the history he had had in this world, for it was such an insignificant story that anyone could tell it.
All his secrets seemed to be in full view of this man.
Soon, the man stood up with a sigh and looked down at him from above.
"All the questions in your heart will be answered sooner or later. Trust in yourself, in the ideas that haunt your mind. Try them all, and then you will reach the heights you long for, but..." The man said and frowned when he saw Tang Yin's mouth seem to move.
"Oh? You're trying too hard, Divine Soul. Go ahead and take as much time as you need to ask your question, but think very carefully which question you want to ask, because I will only answer one."
Hearing these words from that man, Tang Yin stopped trying to speak for a moment. It was so challenging to talk in this place in the face of such a terrifying presence; it was exhausting, and he felt like he was sweating.
'Right now, I don't understand his words... He's telling me that I should try everything that crosses my mind? I don't understand... But, if he's so powerful, maybe he knows something.' Tang Yin tried to consider what question he should ask.
He had countless questions in his head for this person, such as why he was chosen as Heir and what an heir is.
Perhaps a person as powerful as he was might know.
But something inside him told him that that question would not receive a satisfactory answer, and although he did not understand the reason for that feeling, this time, he wanted to believe it.
Tang Yin soon looked at him once again.
Then he remembered that he had arrived here because of the Law of Control. That enigmatic Law, of which no one knows the origin, sent him to this place after hitting it.
That means that this Law is special. It is not so common, as he came to think at some point.
Once he thought about it, he realized the question he should ask and tried to formulate it.
He tried his best to speak, and although his mind trembled with fear, he forced himself to speak.
Even though it was extremely difficult, he had to, even if it was incredibly painful for him.
"...What... What... is... the... Law of... Control?
Is... Is it a... Primordial... Law?" he asked softly.
It was such a soft and barely audible voice. It would be really hard for anyone to hear.
But that was the best Tang Yin could do, and after doing so, he felt himself getting dizzy and a terrifying pain in his soul.
Still, the man in front of him heard it.
"Primordial Law? Hehe, Divine Soul, all the answers to your questions are within you. Understanding yourself before you understand anything else is the best advice I can give you. But, since I promised to answer your question, I will."
He said and waved his hand toward Tang Yin. That hand was not visible to Tang Yin either. He could only see that the strange cloaks covering that body were lifted and pointed towards him.
"No, the Law of Control is not a Primordial Law. And that is why you are here, because you are confusing it. Don't confuse you, and don't confuse it. Good luck, Divine Soul. Maybe we will meet again sometime. Don't forget this feeling."
When those words reached Tang Yin's ears, he felt something terrifyingly powerful surround his soul, and soon his sight was totally obscured.
All his senses disappeared instantly, and a terrifyingly cold feeling crossed his soul. Still, it was the last thing he felt.
