I looked up at Xi Yue, her face filled with a mad smile, yet her eyes flickered with a hint of barely perceptible sorrow.
Cang Ming's claws pierced the reef, scales peeling away one by one.
He howled in agony, trying to break free from the control of the Corrupted Bone Flower, but he was powerless.
As I watched his tortured face, I suddenly recalled the boy he once was a hundred years ago, brimming with happiness and smiles.
If it weren't for me, he could have had a much better life.
"You can't save him!" Xi Yue laughed at the crest of the waves. "Tonight at Midnight, he will personally carve out your heart! And you will become the source of his power, helping him to utterly destroy this world!"
Cang Ming's silver hair floated in the seawater like a gentle net, softly wrapping around my waist.
He looked down at me, a familiar tenderness flashing in his eyes, as if that boy from a hundred years ago—the one who feared pain—had returned.
The seal on his back burned hotly red, and the phantom of the Dragon Horn pierced through his scalp, blood dripping down his chin onto my hand: "Go... to Gui Xu... leave this place..."
Then he forcefully threw me behind the coral reef.
I clutched the scales he had shed tightly, the sharp edge pressing against my heart. "A hundred years ago, I promised that if you lost control, I would carve out your heart... Now, it is time to fulfill my promise."
The images of the prophecy suddenly became much clearer—not him carving out my heart, but me holding the bloodied scales and slicing open my own chest.
The sea suddenly erupted with a deafening roar as twelve bone pillars rose from the ruins of the altar.
These twelve pillars were inscribed with the blood-soaked epic of the Jiao Ren Clan. As I traced my fingers over the uneven characters, I suddenly deciphered the final line of the cryptic text—"The dual souls of the Sea Eye bearer can exchange for a millennium of calm waves."
Xi Yue stood in the center, cradling a pitch-black Jade Pearl in her hands. "Lord Xing Yao, what do you think is hidden within this half-soul?"
The moment the pearl cracked open, I saw—
What I had sealed away a hundred years ago was not Cang Ming's Dragon Soul, but rather the memories of the Witch Clan's massacre of the entire Jiao Ren tribe.
"When the Witch Clan Elder extracted his Dragon Soul back then, it was not to suppress him, but to alter his memories." Xi Yue's fingertip touched the Jade Pearl.
Images materialized, showing Cang Ming wielding a blade and slaughtering his own kin from the Jiao Ren tribe. "How amusing it is to make him believe he is the knife of vengeance."
Cang Ming's roar shattered coral as Long Tail swept through, leaving a trail of blood and flesh.
I lunged forward, clutching his decaying tail fin, my palm sliced by scales. "Don't be deceived by her illusions! What’s sealed within that half-soul is..."
"You lied to me!" Cang Ming tightened his grip around my neck, his pupils turning completely crimson. "The Witch Clan deserves to die!"
In that instant, as my throat cracked under his grip, I bit my tongue and sprayed blood onto the dark stain over his heart.
The backlash from the Witch Clan's forbidden technique burned like fire upon my skin, yet it also caused Cang Ming's movements to freeze for a moment.
"Look at me!" I tore at my collar, the Star Map on my chest glowing in unison with his seal. "You willingly let me seal the Dragon Soul back then because you knew you would lose control!"
Memories sliced through my mind like a blade.
A hundred years ago, under the moonlight, the young Cang Ming knelt at the altar, his back straight. "If you seal my Dragon Soul, I won't massacre the Jiao Ren Clan, right?"
My hand trembled around the Sealing Blade. "But you will forget everything, including me."
He turned back and smiled, the scales at the corners of his eyes shimmering in the moonlight.
"Then wait for me to wake up and get to know you again."
