Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 131 Knowing one’s heart and one’s nature

I don’t know how long I walked. Although I didn’t feel tired, the unchanging scenery still made Lin Po a little bored.

Moreover, there seemed to be no concept of time and space in this white space. No matter where he walked, Lin Po could not detect the existence of any boundaries.

In desperation, Lin Po had to count his steps and continue moving forward, trying to divert his attention and record his journey in this way.

Just like that, one thousand steps, ten thousand steps, one hundred thousand steps, until Lin Po couldn't even count how many steps he had taken, but there was still no change in the surroundings.

If it weren't for the footprints behind him that made Lin Po sure that he was moving all the time, he would have suspected that he was under the spell of a mirage, and that he had stayed in the same place without moving at all.

There was no fatigue, no hunger, and even no pain. Even if Lin Po shouted, his voice would only spread infinitely without any response.

In such a situation, Lin Po couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

In order to maintain sufficient rationality, Lin Po slowly closed his five senses, no longer corrected the direction of progress, and continued to walk forward like a machine.

"who am I?"

Suddenly, a question arose in Lin Po's mind, but before he could answer, questions began to emerge one after another.

"what do I need to do?"

“Why am I doing this?”

In an instant, countless questions flashed through Lin Po's mind, and for the first time in this white and silent space, he felt a splitting headache.

However, the pain came and went quickly. When Lin Po came to his senses, he found that everything he had just experienced seemed like an illusion, and there was no trace left.

Just when Lin Po was feeling discouraged, the voice in his mind appeared again.

"Who are you?"

After confirming that the voice was real, Lin Po couldn't help but feel happy, but he soon noticed that the problem had changed.

This gave him a creepy feeling.

But the despair in his heart prompted him to muster up the courage to answer.

"I'm Lin Po."

"What are you doing?"

“Searching for myself.”

"Why pursue?"

"strength."

"."

The sudden disappearance of the voice did not make Lin Po feel lost at all. Since he had gone through the question and answer process, it meant that his choice was correct.

Just as Lin Po was about to move forward, a blurry figure suddenly appeared not far away and stopped him.

Lin Po, who didn't know the truth, did not act rashly.

At this moment, he is no different from an ordinary person. At most, he is healthier.

But after the figure solidified, Lin Po was a little dumbfounded, but also somewhat understood.

Because the man in black not far away looked exactly like him, the only difference was the cold and ruthless aura on him.

"follow me."

There was no sound at all, and regardless of Lin Po's reaction, Lin Po in black turned around and walked in another direction.

Seeing this, Lin Po had no choice but to follow. After all, he had no better choice now.

After walking for a long time, the figure brought Lin Po to a white jade throne.

Looking at the crude and costly throne, Lin Po in black's eyes revealed for the first time an emotion that Lin Po could not understand.

"Do you understand yourself?"

This question made Lin Po a little puzzled. How could he not understand himself?

But he nodded.

"If you really understood, you wouldn't be here."

Listening to the almost sarcastic words and looking at the cold face that was exactly the same as his own, Lin Po felt for the first time that this face deserved a beating.

After finally calming down, Lin Po asked helplessly.

"Then who are you?"

The man in black turned around and glanced at Lin Po as if he saw a fool.

"Do you need to ask this question too?"

Although this was not the answer Lin Po wanted, it was enough for him to understand the current situation.

Unconcerned with the other 'self''s' disdain, Lin Po's expression became complicated. "So, you are the part of me that I subconsciously separated out in despair?"

But why? Normally, shouldn't you just call me without saying anything?

The corner of Lin Po's mouth twitched in black. Lin Po's nonsense made it impossible for him to maintain his indifferent expression any longer.

It's really unbearable to see the main body do something stupid after a while.

"I'm not your inner demon, why should I fight you to death? Wouldn't a peaceful solution be better?"

Deliberately ignoring the strange tone in the black-clothed Lin Po's voice, after confirming that his life was not in danger, Lin Po became less vigilant and was in a good mood for a while.

"So what do I need to do?"

"Sit on it."

Lin Po in black pointed at the pure white throne and spoke slowly.

"this."

"Don't ask anything."

Upon hearing this, Lin Po put his thoughts aside and walked past the black-clothed Lin Po to stand in front of the throne.

At this point, he could no longer hesitate. The worst that could happen was death.

Then he gritted his teeth and sat down on the throne.

"and then?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Po felt as if he was hit by a club on the back of his head, and the light in his pupils instantly disappeared.

"Then, relive 'our' past.

Didn’t you say that only by accepting the past can we accept ourselves? "

As the last syllable fell, the figure of Lin Po in black began to slowly dissipate, and finally turned into a black-gold light and merged into Lin Po's body.

. . .

I don’t know how long it has been, maybe a day, maybe ten years, Lin Po is still sitting on the throne motionless.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded, once again breaking the silence of this pure white space.

"What kind of thing is this? So, accepting the past means I have to go back and be a bystander, watching my own miserable state all over again?"

"and"

As Lin Po spoke, he raised his right arm, which had become stiff from long periods of inactivity, and touched the throne beneath him.

"I never thought that no matter how much I tried to persuade myself, I couldn't hide the arrogance and greed of a time traveler."

During this journey of recalling memories, Lin Po not only saw everything that happened to "himself" in the past.

It also made him understand why he felt out of tune with everything around him during his time at Shrek.

He also has the arrogance, prejudice and greed that most time travelers have.

Even since Lin Po came into this world, he has been constantly persuading himself in his heart that he should integrate into the world.

However, as a time traveler, Lin Po, who had never experienced any great storms in his life, instinctively had the arrogance of knowing everything, prejudice against secular rules, and the greed to own everything.

However, at that time, he was far from having the rationality to suppress his instincts, which made it difficult for him to integrate into this world.

His unusual maturity, his equal attitude towards everyone, and the insights he inadvertently revealed were all met with confusion and suspicion in the eyes of the elders of Shrek.

If things develop normally, Lin Po can realize his ambitions with the help of the system.

Unfortunately, Lin Po's self-proclaimed "normal" behavior over the years did not allow him to maintain a good relationship with Shrek. In other words, he was stupid and unaware of it at the time.

So when he was abandoned, naturally no one else would choose to protect him except Zhang Lexuan, a girl overflowing with maternal love.

"It seems that everything I went through in Shrek was a bit of my own fault."

"But there's no need to explain what's happened, right or wrong.

I was wrong and I paid with my life, so if Shrek is wrong, of course he should pay with his life too!"

After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Po smiled easily and no longer suppressed the truth in his heart, allowing it to grow wildly.

"Since I was born this way and the world loves me, why should I suppress my nature?

As long as I can maintain my sanity and control my power, no matter how arrogant or greedy I am, no one can control me."

"The previous failure was nothing more than a lack of strength and excessive jumping.

Now that the hidden dragon has emerged from the abyss, what's wrong with me being a little domineering?"
