Chapter 493: Chapter493-The T8 Inheritance

Holly’s eyes immediately widened in surprise after hearing his explanation.

She smiled and said, "I never expected you to actually understand the meaning of that poem. It seems you are not merely obsessed with martial cultivation after all. Your literary knowledge is quite impressive as well."

"Fortunately, however, you still failed to mention the most important part."

As she spoke, she could not help laughing.

Her eyes curved into delicate crescents, and a strange, glittering light seemed to shimmer within them.

She looked at Daniel expectantly, clearly hoping that he would complete the part he had deliberately left unsaid.

Daniel could not help feeling puzzled.

"The most important part?"

"Did I overlook something?"

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

Could the important part be that she wanted him to marry her?

Although Daniel had already understood what she was implying, he did not say it aloud. Instead, he deliberately pretended not to understand and asked with a smile,

"Then may I ask what the most important part is?"

Two patches of crimson immediately appeared on Holly’s cheeks.

She lowered her head, stamped her foot, and complained,

"You’re horrible! I’m not telling you!"

After saying that, she released his arm and hurried into the distance.

However, after running a short distance, she suddenly stopped.

She turned around sharply.

A radiant smile blossomed across her face, and her eyes shone brightly as she called out,

"Sophis, don’t forget our promise in April!"

Their promise in April?

A brief fragment of memory immediately surfaced within Daniel’s mind.

The peach blossom forest behind Celestial Academy in April?

Daniel blinked.

Before he could say anything else, the scene around him abruptly changed.

...

Within the territory of the Third Eye Clan, two Oracle-grade experts suddenly descended from the sky.

Both of them were Tier-5 Oracle-grade powerhouses.

The patriarch of the Third Eye Clan personally came out to receive them.

The moment he appeared, he bowed respectfully and asked,

"May I ask why the two honored envoys have come to our territory?"

The Third Eye Clan was one of the most powerful races in the region.

Every member of the clan possessed three eyes.

Their third eye grew at the center of the forehead.

It was said that the stronger a member of the Third Eye Clan became, the more valuable their Mystic Eye would be. Such eyes possessed countless extraordinary abilities and could be refined or used in numerous ways.

The strongest member of the clan was its patriarch, who had reached Tier-5 Oracle-grade.

The second strongest was Sophis.

Sophis had already reached Tier-3 Oracle-grade and was currently studying at Celestial Academy.

One of the two Tier-5 Oracle-grade experts cast an indifferent glance at the patriarch.

"We have come under our master’s orders."

"You are to surrender the third eyes of every member of the Third Eye Clan who has reached Divine-grade or above."

The patriarch’s face instantly turned deathly pale.

If their third eyes were taken away, the strength of the entire Third Eye Clan would fall by more than half.

A look of despair spread across his face, but he forced himself to remain standing.

"Did Grand Oracle Sirius truly issue such an order?"

"I do not believe it."

"I wish to meet Grand Oracle Sirius personally and beg him to reconsider."

One of the Tier-5 Grand Oracle-grade experts immediately frowned and shouted,

"Do you think our master is someone you may meet merely because you wish to?"

"You are nowhere near qualified!"

"I advise you not to reject the kindness we are showing you."

"If you force us to take action personally, we will not stop after removing your eyes."

"We will kill anyone who resists."

Upon hearing those words, the patriarch of the Third Eye Clan felt as though he had fallen into an abyss of ice.

A terrifying chill spread through his entire body.

...

At the same time, within Celestial Academy, Daniel stared at the urgent letter that had just arrived from Sophis’s family.

His entire body was trembling.

The trembling did not originate from Daniel himself.

It came from the body he currently inhabited.

It was the uncontrollable reaction of a body overwhelmed by absolute rage.

Evidently, the original Sophis had been driven into such extreme fury that even Daniel could not suppress the physical response.

He could only watch as the hands holding the letter trembled violently.

The letter clearly explained everything that had happened.

Sophis’s family had resisted the order and had already been completely exterminated.

At the same time, the third eyes of every Divine-grade or stronger member of the Third Eye Clan had been brutally torn from their foreheads.

Because the clan had resisted, it had also suffered catastrophic casualties.

Boundless grief and fury surged through Sophis’s body, nearly drowning his remaining reason.

Daniel could clearly feel the overwhelming anger and unbearable pain contained within this body.

Sophis’s entire family had been destroyed in a single night.

His people had suffered devastating losses.

Even the patriarch who had always loved him, protected him, and spent nearly all of the clan’s resources nurturing him had been mercilessly killed by those Oracle-grade experts.

The Third Eye Clan had been crippled.

It had lost its leader and fallen into chaos.

The surviving clansmen were now waiting for Sophis to return and avenge them.

At that moment, an immensely powerful obsession arose from the depths of the body.

Revenge.

Revenge.

And still more revenge.

Hatred had already seeped into every inch of Sophis’s flesh and blood.

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from his body.

Faint cracks began appearing throughout the surrounding space.

The entire area trembled violently beneath the pressure of his rage.

At that moment, a graceful figure suddenly appeared before him.

Holly hurried to Daniel’s side, her expression filled with worry.

She opened her mouth and called softly,

"Sophis..."

Yet halfway through speaking, she suddenly found herself unable to continue.

Should she tell him to calm down?

No one could possibly remain calm after suffering something like this.

Should she persuade him not to seek revenge?

Such a blood-soaked feud could never be ignored.

If Sophis refused to avenge his family after learning everything he had learned, he would probably live the rest of his life in grief and regret.

Asking him to survive in humiliation and endure the hatred in silence would hardly be the conduct of a true man.

If Sophis were the kind of person who would choose to hide forever after his family had been slaughtered, Holly would never have regarded him as a hero.

Therefore, she did not know what she could possibly say to comfort him.

In the end, Holly quietly sat down beside Sophis.

She said nothing.

She only hoped that when this man was suffering through the darkest and most painful moment of his life, she could remain by his side.

...

Several days later, the sky was clear and the clouds were light.

Sophis had already packed everything he needed.

He turned toward Holly and said,

"I am leaving."

"According to the rules of Celestial Academy, I have already completed my studies."

"I am no longer considered an ordinary student of the academy, so I am free to descend the mountain whenever I wish."

"Once I report the matter to my master, I will leave."

Holly looked at him with undisguised concern.

"Where are you going?"

"Let me come with you."

Sophis calmly shook his head.

"Although you are Master’s daughter, you are still a member of Celestial Academy."

"You must obey the academy’s rules."

"How could you violate the rules personally established by your own father?"

"I am only returning to my clan for a short visit."

"I will be back soon."

Holly stared at him.

An ominous intuition suddenly arose within her heart.

She felt strangely restless, as though something terrible was about to happen.

However, she had no way to stop him.

In the end, she could only force herself to nod.

"All right."

"Then you must come back soon."

Celestial Academy was an ancient orthodoxy founded by the Celestial Grand Oracle, a T8 Oracle-grade powerhouse.

Only students with exceptional talent and an unblemished background were qualified to enter the academy.

The Celestial Grand Oracle had personally established a rule stating that any student who reached Tier-3 Oracle-grade would be considered to have completed their studies.

Sophis happened to be a Tier-3 Oracle-grade expert.

Therefore, he was already free to enter and leave Celestial Academy whenever he wished.

Even so, he still chose to visit his master first and formally bid farewell.

Within a quiet hall, the Celestial Grand Oracle formed a series of hand seals.

He began deducing the fate of Sophis, the strongest disciple beneath his tutelage.

One scene after another appeared within his calculations.

Yet the results were all the same.

Every possible future revealed that Sophis’s fate would be unimaginably tragic.

Countless calamities awaited him.

Disaster after disaster would descend upon his path.

Most frightening of all, the probability that he would survive them was extraordinarily small.
