Chapter 941: Chapter 58: Lina’s Past

"Back then, her favorite was Katerina, so Katerina was the first to appear, and that’s why Katerina holds a very special place in her heart," Catheria recalled. "I was the second one, actually, Katerina and I almost entered her inner world at the same time. However, due to my many concerns, I didn’t immediately establish a connection with her. As for Katerina, well, her actions always precede her thoughts, so she was the first to pop up. After contact, we realized that all she was calling for was a little girl driven mad by loneliness and fear. We initially intended just to look, but upon seeing the child’s state, we couldn’t bear to leave. Katerina, representing us, often accompanied her in conversation within her consciousness. Katerina’s appearance seemed to have given that little one some hope, the child, being quite greedy, began to fantasize with every book, imagining that everyone could gather together to play, just like one big family. Some didn’t respond to her at first, but she wasn’t angry or discouraged; she kept fantasizing persistently, even creating a world deep within her mind for us to live in. Can you imagine? She isn’t a Demigod Rank like us, but somehow she managed to forcefully create a space within her inner world akin to an Inherent Psychic Domain. To this day, I still doubt how she managed to do that; it’s simply inconceivable, and it just goes to show that under certain circumstances, the potential of life is limitless."

"So it’s something akin to an Inherent Psychic Domain after all," Pannis sighed, starting to reckon with his suspicions. Ever since he first learned about a special world within Lina’s psyche years ago, he had doubted whether the world composed of Lina’s memories could be a unique Inherent Psychic Domain. But since he couldn’t verify it personally, he remained uncertain. Now that the former Demigod Rank Catheria also said so, it was clear that his guess was right. Therefore, Pannis sighed lightly and clicked his tongue, "If she manages to advance to Demigod in the future, without a doubt, she will be the strongest Demigod Yarran World has ever seen."

"Of course, as long as we’re still around," Catheria said with an oddly amused smile, seemingly full of anticipation for the future, "You know, we’re a team of more than forty people. Aside from a few non-combat members, almost all are Upper Rank professionals, including five of Demigod Rank. I really hope that child can advance to Demigod in the future; I can’t wait to see the faces of those enemies when she pulls them into her Inherent Psychic Domain."

"Wait, more than forty?" Pannis asked with raised volume, surprised, "That many? She’s never questioned the existence of so many of you with her?"

"Her childlike joy at our arrival precluded any consideration of what we truly were, or why we had appeared. Most importantly, she never doubted the legitimacy of our presence, nor did she ever consider the possibility that we might be mere illusions." Catheria shook her head, "It’s precisely because of this that we have been able to stay together."

"If she starts to think of you as mere illusions, I’m afraid that’s what you’ll become to her," Pannis mused, "Most of those who have established contact with you likely severed ties in this manner."

"Yes, we thought that as she grew up and returned to the outside world, we would gradually fade from her world, so as not to end in tragedy like those before us," Catheria, sounding like an elder worrying for a child, sighed, "But unexpectedly, a fire disrupted everyone’s plans. The situation was abrupt, and we weren’t sensitive to the outside world. By the time we noticed the fire, it had already spread widely. The child was still asleep, and after Katerina woke her, flames had surrounded all directions. Although she was already a Bronze Rank priest by then, she had hardly done any physical training and could hardly run out. In that urgent situation, we wished we could replace her and control her body to escape. And unexpectedly, Katerina did just that; it was our first time realizing that, under special circumstances and with her agreement, we could temporarily take over her body."

"In the end, she managed to escape, but all your carriers were burned?" Pannis nodded and said, "She told us countless times how filled with regret she was for leaving us behind."

"We know, everyone knows, we were always there with her," Catheria said helplessly. "After escaping, perhaps because she subconsciously believed that she needed books to communicate with us, or perhaps because of the guilt she felt for abandoning our carriers, she couldn’t sense us anymore. Even when she returned to the library in the depths of her Psychic Domain, even when we stood right in front of her and spoke, she could neither see nor hear us. What’s more terrifying was that we discovered we couldn’t touch her in the Psychic World. If it weren’t for the fundamental connection between us that hadn’t been severed, we might have thought we had completely lost her."

"But in the end, she found you all again," Pannis said. "You guys are quite lucky."

"It wasn’t luck; it was her persistence. Since she lost us, she searched frantically in the church’s new library for a whole ten days. It wasn’t until she found me that she fell asleep on the spot, sleeping for three straight days. It wasn’t the simple kind of deep sleep you might imagine, but a sleep that even extended into her Psychic Domain, scaring us all. Fortunately, she woke up on the fourth day and could actually see me. The first thing she did was hold me and cry like a child. Since then, our minds changed; as long as she didn’t reject us, we decided never to leave her again," Catheria said with some relief.

"It’s a touching story," Pannis nodded and said. "So for all these years, you’ve been with her all the time? Don’t those friends she hasn’t found yet feel bored in the library’s world?"

"Of course not, because we often temporarily go back to our own worlds," Catheria shook her head. "Besides, she already knows those people are there. Although she can’t see, hear, or touch them, we can relay messages, so it’s not like we can’t communicate. And we get along with each other normally; even if we weren’t familiar with each other in our own worlds, with Lina as the intermediary, we’ve made quite a few new friends. For instance, Tifa and Isabella, heh, if the memories we were given aren’t wrong, these two used to be enemies. But now, aside from arguing when they meet, there’s no more extreme behavior, and of course, that’s also because Isabella can’t beat Tifa."

"Hmm, a very... lively life," Pannis really couldn’t imagine what it must feel like to have dozens of people making noise in one’s spiritual world. Just thinking about it was enough to give him a headache, and he could only sigh helplessly once more, "Yes, very lively." (To be continued.
