"Give me a reason to say yes." Ling Tian did not accept nor refuse her offer straight away.
"First of all, I'm sure you are not someone from the direct line of Ling Clan. Being one of survivors from that explosion, you will surely get a lot of questions and some people will target you or your family to understand or obtain whatever information or treasures from this place."
"I believe that was one of the reasons why you hesitated to tell me your name in the first place. However, let me tell you that I could solve all of those issues easily. None of them will dare to target me or my family."
"Follow me, and I will give you home. I could help you to start a new life at a much better place than here."
"In addition, I could give you access to more powerful techniques and skills compared with the ones that you could ever find in this whole empire."
"You could also bring your family if you want…" Erza was trying to come up with more and more reasons to convince Ling Tian.
"It looks like you really want the things inside here… May I know the reason why and what is it that you want?"
Erza hesitated a bit before she finally decided to roughly explain her situation to him.
"So… You are saying that you also don't know what kind of inheritance is in this place, but it is one of the requirements from an elder in your clan before she is willing to tell you about your parents?"
"Yes.."
"Mm.. I see.. Please give me the time to think about it first." Ling Tian understood that most of her words were true. However, he really wanted to ponder about this issue a bit more before making a decision.
"Fine." Erza was a bit disappointed but she understood that not everyone was willing to pass a great chance for a stranger. Moreover, going to a far away place and starting a new life was never a small decision.
The two youths fell into a short silence before each of them decided to enter a meditation and rest.
The following morning, Erza and Ling Tian started to proceed deeper into the tomb. They passed by numerous skeletons along their way, but none of them were scared or surprised.
An hours quickly passed, but the two youths found nothing like treasures nor they were attacked.
As they continued to walk, Erza silently pondering about the meaning behind the writings on the light screen which appeared when they were trying to break the seal yesterday.
'Someone to love.. Something to do.. Something to hope for.'
However, no matter how many times she pondered about it, Erza found nothing which could be helpful and useful in her quest to obtain the inheritance.
After walking for a whole day without any result, Erza was starting to get bored. At first, she still talked with Ling Tian as she wanted to understand more about the young man beside her. However, they soon ran out of topics.
Days… Weeks… Months…
Three months had quietly passed since the day they decided to go deeper into the tomb.
However, they still found nothing but skeletons along their way! They had tried to touch and study the skeletons, but it was useless. In numerous occasions, they had thought of going back to where they came from. However, they fought against that feeling and continued with their walks.
Erza had been trying to communicate with Ash all this time but she surprisingly did not receive any response from him. He simply disappeared.
"What is the purpose of your life? What push you to keep moving forward? Your parents were long gone and your sister was no longer alive…. The man who you supposed to kill, ended up dying on his own…. Is there still any need to struggle?..... Why don't you just join with your family in the afterlife?" Voices like these kept repeating in Ling Tian's mind. Despite having a strong willpower, Ling Tian could not help but feel dispirited.
Ling Guo's sudden death indeed caused Ling Tian to question his purpose in life. As someone who was previously driven by revenge, he was now lost.
Similar voices also resounding in Erza's ears.
"Deep inside your heart, you know that you will be alone at the end of your road... One day, you have to choose one or the other. You could not have it both. So what's the point to continue this meaningless struggle?"
"Shut up! When I become a supreme ruler..."
"Why you keep lying to yourself? You know that it would not be their true hearts. You are going to force them to accept you!"
"I will become a good empress. I will change my people's mind about demons and the mixed bloods."
"You know it's impossible."
"But.. But…." The more Erza tried to struggle, the more she felt her life was destined to fail. She knew that she would not be able to change people heart and mindset with just strength alone.
They would become fake people in front you and it would be just a matter of time before everything feel apart. Besides, what's the point of living in a life like that? There was not much difference with living in an illusion on your own.
'Wait… Illusion?!' Erza finally realized what was going on.
"BREAK!! BREAK!!... BREAK!!" Erza loudly roared as she pushed herself to the limit.
The Ling Tian beside her suddenly disappeared. And at the next moment, Erza found herself standing in front of a wall. There was a strange symbol in the middle of the wall and some ancients languages below it.
"What is this symbol?" Erza mumbled to herself. She knew that there was something special about this symbol.
Erza was thinking quietly as her eyes swept across the ancient characters on the wall. A split second later, her eyes suddenly concentrated on a corner of the wall, there, some almost illegible handwriting could be seen. The words seemed to have been written long ago, thus, they looked very indistinct. Erza tried to identify them for quite a while and only managed to discern several words.
"What is the meaning of life if someday we are destined to perish? Why do we need to go through all the pains and troubles, just to end up feeling more pains and disappointment?" – Chasiel
Chasiel!! Archangel of Hope!
"You've finally awoken?" After hearing this voice, Erza was pleasantly surprised. It was Ash!
"Yes…"
On Erza's shoulder, a glowing shadow condensed as a small flaming bird appeared. Its tiny eyes stared at the ancient characters on the wall as it sighed and muttered: "I truly did not expect that, this is the tomb of Chasiel..."
