Chapter 261 – Aktor

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

A hazy darkness covered everything.

Memories of the past continuously formed in Chen Heng’s mind.

In his memories, a young man called Aktor appeared, followed by a young girl, as well as many mystical scenes.

The ritual on the divine mountain, the destructive battle, the travels with the merchant group…

When Chen Heng awakened, he was in another place.

It was a small room, which was filled with bright sunlight from outside.

Chen Heng sat within the room, with two people next to him.

“You’re awake.”

Seeing Chen Heng awaken, the two people looked over.

A middle-aged man who looked around 40 years old looked at Chen Heng and asked, “How do you feel?”

“Not much,” Chen Heng got up with difficulty and examined his body as he replied.

“Have a good rest,” the middle-aged man shook his head and said that before turning to the other person to discuss other things.

……

“Oro’s people are about to catch up to us; what should we do? Should we continue on or stay here?”

“They’re going to catch up sooner or later; when that time comes, we’ll definitely kill them.”

…

The two people talked intensely, looking completely focused on their discussion, not taking notice of Chen Heng at all.

Standing there, Chen Heng vigorously shook his head as he looked to the side.

Waves of memories appeared in his mind.

Aktor Hatim.

He was a young man from the Hatim family and one of the many sons of Duke Hatim.

The Hatim family was one of the Malido Kingdom’s three great families, and it was inferior only to the Malido royal family.

Legends said that the Hatim family’s bloodline contained the bloodline of gods and had divine power.

A family like that was naturally incredibly big and powerful, and it was one of the top families in the Malido Kingdom.

As the patriarch’s son, Aktor had a prestigious background, and he was above others since he was young, living a life that others admired.

However, all of that was in the past.

As war exploded out, the Oro Empire had invaded. Duke Hatim had died in battle, and the entire Malido family had been wiped out.

After Duke Hatim died, the Hatim family’s members all began to run, and they left the Malido Kingdom for other places.

This was the case for Aktor as well.

As Duke Hatim’s child, even though he was not highly favored, he was still chased down by Oro’s people.

It could be said that the situation was quite bad.

Before, when they had been escaping, they had run into a group of bandits and had fought with them, paying a great price.

During that battle, not only had Aktor been heavily injured, but many of his followers had also been injured or killed.

Now, only a few people were left.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng raised his arm and touched his head.

Through his hand, he could clearly feel his forehead’s temperature; it was far hotter than normal.

“I have a fever…” Chen Heng thought to himself.

Right now, he did not know if he should be celebrating that he had been able to safely go to a new world or to sigh.

His luck had not been very good.

Right after descending to this world, before he even did something, he was already in grave danger.

The Kingdom was in shambles, his father had died in battle, and there were soldiers hunting him down.

This was the most disastrous start Chen Heng had experienced before.

What was even worse was how weak this body was.

The Hatim family was the family of a Duke, and even though his previous identity had not been favored, he had still received the best education.

However, despite this, he had not been able to awaken his own life power.

This world was a world that contained great power.

Legends said that there were gods who existed outside of the world and looked down at the world.

Apart from the physical world, there was also the Netherworld and Abyss, which was also vast.

All over the land, there were powerful warriors, writing their own legends.

In this world, not only were there mighty gods but also mortals who had their own power.

The Hatim Family had what was called life power, which was an orthodox warrior legacy.

It was said that the Hatim family had the bloodline of gods, making it easier for members to awaken their life power.

However, this body of his did not have much strength. Even though he had received the best education and resources, he still had not awakened his life power and was just stronger than ordinary people.

As such, what Chen Heng had inherited was just a body that was somewhat stronger than ordinary people’s. Moreover, it had been heavily injured.

“How troublesome…” Chen Heng rubbed his forehead and sighed.

To him, this body’s foundation was simply too lacking.

However, it was not too bad.

Chen Heng’s essence was different: Even though he had burned up half of his essence to travel across worlds, he still had some of his True Lord essence.

He had brought this essence into this body, giving it some power.

Standing there, Chen Heng raised his head and thought to himself.

Within his body, a wave of energy appeared, flowing through this body and causing it to become stronger.

In just a short period of time, that feeling of weakness quickly disappeared.

Sensing this, Chen Heng continued testing things out.

He began to try to use cultivation techniques that he had learned before, but before he could start, a sense of rejection suddenly appeared.

It was as if it sensed something as a formless energy filled with an aura of rejection towards Chen Heng appeared in the surrounding world.

“This is…”

Sensing that feeling of rejection, Chen Heng inwardly frowned and stopped.

“This world’s consciousness… is very active…” Chen Heng thought to himself as he looked towards the sky.

Compared to his previous world, this world’s consciousness was much more active.

This world was instinctively rejecting systems that did not belong to this world. If he forcefully tried to cultivate, it might result in terrible consequences.

Sensing this, Chen Heng quickly stopped and tried other things.

If he could not use the cultivation techniques from the Azure Heaven Realm, what about the Sorcerer World?

Chen Heng once again began to try.

This test was much more successful.

It seemed that this world had a similar system, and Chen Heng did not sense that immense rejection and succeeded.

He was able to enter his Meditation state.

At that moment, the two other people stood up.

They first looked at Chen Heng before turning and walking out.

Many people had escaped from the Malido Kingdom, and they were mostly nobles. Because they were hunted down by the Oro Kingdom, they were forced to run for their lives.

Apart from Chen Heng and the two people, there were many others.

After the two people went out, Chen Heng also walked outside.

Outside, there were a few people sitting there, discussing in hushed tones.

However, different from the two men from inside the room, most of the people sitting here were female, and there were also some children.

Sitting around a fire, their expressions were quite gloomy.

After a while, a small voice sounded out.

“Great Moonlight Goddess, please protect us…”

A soft prayer came from not too far away.

Hearing this, Chen Heng instinctively looked over.

In that direction, there was a young girl with golden hair and delicate looks sitting there as she prayed earnestly.

She was quite young and looked incredibly sincere as she prayed. It was just that her arms slightly trembled, making her look quite scared.

“Moonlight Goddess…” Chen Heng muttered to himself.

He himself did not believe in legends of gods.

However, there were indeed legends of gods in this world, and there were many of them.

Whether it was Kingdoms or small tribes, they all had their own gods.

This was the same for the Malido Kingdom as well.

In the Malido Kingdom, the Moonlight Goddess was the orthodox religion. The entire kingdom, including the Hatim family, were devout followers.

It was said that this goddess’ authority was moonlight.

However, when the Malido Kingdom had been destroyed, the Moonlight Goddess had not descended and saved the Malido Kingdom.

This was the case for other places before.

It had been a long time since gods had descended in this world.

From the records, it seemed that gods did exist but had been dormant for a long time.

“Real gods…” Chen Heng muttered to himself.

He did not believe in all-powerful and all-knowing gods.

From how he saw it, the so-called gods were just creatures that were far more powerful than ordinary mortals.

This worlds’ various legends were evidence of this.

In this world, many mortals had become demigods and even killed gods.

Evidently, these gods were not invincible and were just higher-level beings.

It was just that since they could be taken to be gods, their power would be immense.

Then, in terms of this world’s gods, and that hand that had destroyed his old world, who was stronger?

Chen Heng could not help but wonder about this.

Even though he had left his old world, he had not forgotten the hand that had destroyed the world and stolen all vitality.

In just an instant, the entire world’s vitality had been taken.

For something to be able to instantly destroy a world, this kind of power could be called a god.

Soon, Chen Heng dispelled those thoughts.

The difference between gods and his current self was too big. Right now, the most important thing was the danger he was in.

This identity came from a noble family, and it was quite good because of his bloodline.

No matter the world, noble blood was a good thing and could bring him great advantages.

Even though this identity’s father had already died, this could still bring him many benefits.

This included the Hatim family’s massive faction. They would leave backups for their people, and not just in the Malido Kingdom.

From what Chen Heng knew, the Hatim family’s people lived in other kingdoms, and many of them had high standings.

If he could escape from this situation and use his identity as the son of Duke Hatim, he had an opportunity to gain many benefits.

Currently, they were heading towards the Hemu Dukedom, where Chen Heng had an uncle.

From his previous memories, there were still soldiers hunting after them.

If they wanted to avoid these soldiers…

Chen Heng turned and looked at these people, a trace of coldness in his heart.

If he wanted to escape the soldiers, the best choice was to escape by himself.
