Chapter 418: Chapter 208 Their Guarded Hearts_1

This was Long Dangdang’s fifteenth time opening his eyes. He was only fifteen years old, not even sixteen yet. His life experience wasn’t particularly abundant. If anything, it only started to diversify after he began his cultivation journey following the Temple’s spiritual power test, encountering two 9th-ranked teachers, and gradually becoming different from others.

Therefore, every time he closed his eyes, the numerous events of these past decades would surface in his mind. And all these events, seemed incredibly simple. Replaying over and over again, him watching them over and over again. Long Dangdang thought that he should have been able to grasp the key point early on, finding that one thing in his heart that he desired to protect.

To him, the people closest to him were none other than his parents and younger brother. But for some reason, whenever he wanted to make a choice, a mysterious feeling within his heart always prevented him from deciding, even making him want to break free from the bonds of his memories.

Staring at the unending expanse before his eyes, Long Dangdang became confused. What was wrong with him? It should be easy to make a decision! But why was there always this uncertainty? As though his life wasn’t just as simple as it seemed, that a much larger, unremembered area was present.

All he could do was faintly perceive some emotional changes. Whenever the fragmented memories in his mind were about to complete a cycle, a particular emotion would start to emerge. That emotion was complicated, containing warmth and happiness, but also sadness. This feeling would intensify with the increase in cycles, as if there was a special, especially important existence in his consciousness that lay within these unknown emotions.

What on earth is happening? Long Dangdang took a deep breath and closed his eyes again. This time, the cycle seemed to speed up, and his heart began to tense up. He knew that the moment the cycle ended would be when that emotion appeared. Would it be even more intense this time?

Finally, all the fragments of his memories arrived at the end, even reaching the recent scene of them being tested by the Evil Eye Tyrant and fighting against three instructors. In the next moment, Long Dangdang felt a sudden, sharp tremor in his spirit and willpower. The emotions from before erupted once more. And this time, his sensations were even clearer than usual.

The most intense emotional waves were warmth and love, followed by great happiness. However, in the end, an intense feeling of sadness and reluctance filled his heart.

What is this! Tell me!

Long Dangdang roared with all his might within his heart. He was desperately trying to break free from something with his mental will, as if struggling against the shackles in his mind. He desperately wanted to see what was causing these emotions to appear within his heart.

But just at that moment, suddenly, the original frozen fragments of memory started to brighten up. All the emotions converged at this moment, except for warmth that flourished, an unprecedented sense of warmth soothing his restless heart. A soft, golden halo surrounded his heart. A vague, elusive voice seemed to appear in his mind, yet it sounded crystal clear.

"Love yourself well!"

In the next moment, everything was filled with gold.

...

"This is so annoying." Long Kongkong was feeling helpless during his thirtieth round of experiencing his cycle. He was also helpless. At first, when he was looking at the memory fragments, he was filled with a sense of novelty. He would occasionally reveal various expressions. For example, anger when he was disciplined by his older brother, happiness when pampered by his mother, and joy when he and his older brother worked together to trick their father. He delighted in this observation.

But even the best stories get monotonous after repeated viewing! It was not until the tenth or so loops that he remembered what he was supposed to do.

Guarding the heart. What’s there to guard? Without coming to this bizarre place, he knew what to guard! Mom, dad, big brother, and his goddess. Can he just guard these four? Keep things simple. Simplicity is the best. Let’s go with this strategy.

But it didn’t stop. Whenever he closed his eyes, fragments of his memories would still appear as if an invisible force was constantly stirring his innermost feelings, irritating his emotions, leading to a growing sense of annoyance.

Every time a cycle ended, this feeling would intensify, making him gradually aware of something. As if something deep within him was constantly being touched. Initially, he didn’t think much of it, but as time went by, Long Kongkong realized that there seemed to be something trembling in his heart. This sensation made him feel very uncomfortable.

And every time a cycle ended, this unease would become stronger, making him feel even more oppressed.

In the beginning, he wasn’t clear about the nature of this emotion. But as the sense of oppression grew stronger, he began to realize that it was, despair!

Yes, there was just one emotion, despair. Endless despair, even, mad despair.
