Chapter 2630 Brooding Decision

Chapter 2630 Brooding Decision

Amare gazed at the setting sun from atop the Temple Walls.

Her expression was soft and gentle while her eyes brimmed with the light of life. And yet, she couldn't hide the uncertainty and discomfort she felt in her heart.

Having spent her entire life in the Gen Temple, her exposure to the outside world was limited.

Curious as she was, she was most content in the Gen Temple with the people she loved in her entire life. She didn't want to leave them. She didn't want to leave her grandmother behind. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

And yet...

"Who am I...?" A whisper escaped her as her hand rested upon her heart.

Where did she come from?

Why did she remember memories from a different era?

Why has she been dropped at the Gen Temple as a newborn infant?

Why did she have the memories of none other than the Progenitor of Martial Art, according to her grandmother?

It had been such a shocking revelation that she wasn't even able to wrap her mind around it. She didn't understand.

She didn't understand what was happening.

And yet, it only intensified her desire to understand the truth. It only heightened her desire to comprehend where she came from. It only deepened curiosity into the true nature of her being.

The more she immersed herself in the matter, the more she understood the choices that her grandmother had given her. There were no answers to be found within the Gen Temple.

She turned towards Amare. "He is one of the pillars of the Era of Darkness."

"Pillars...?" Amare's eyes lit up with wonder.

"Indeed, he came here to impart his power with us," Bodhisattva Maitreyi nodded. "With the power of his Adaptive Evolution, human civilization will be able to resist and overcome the Beast Incursion and dispel the Era of Darkness. I believe that you can help him with that."

"I can...?" Amare's eyes lit up.

"Of course," Bodhisattva Maitreyi smiled. "The Era of Darkness cannot be dispelled with power alone. You see, darkness exists in people's hearts. While the Dawnbringer gives civilization the power to fight against the Era of Darkness, you can give people the power to fight the darkness within their hearts if you so choose."

The thought warmed Amare's heart. "I would love to do that, but..."

Her smile grew bittersweet. "I will miss home."

"Then you might choose to stay," Bodhisattva Maitreyi smiled easily. "Regardless of what choice you make, I will support you wholeheartedly. However, know that your time is running short. The Dawnbringer will soon depart. And while it is not impossible for you to make this voyage without him, it would be better if you go with him if you decided to search for the truth and dispel the darkness in people's hearts."

She gazed at her grandmother. "If I go, then... I won't see you for a long time, won't I, Grandmother?"

Bodhisattva Maitreyi smiled with a hint of melancholy. "I'm afraid so, my child. I don't know how long I will spend in the Beast Domain fighting the most dangerous foes of human civilization, but I highly doubt it will be a short period of time. And yet..."

She gazed at Amare with affection. "You mustn't let your attachment to me shackle you."

Amare nodded with a bittersweet smile. "...I will miss you, grandma."

Her grandmother's eyes lit up as she understood the decision that Amare had made before smiling even deeper.

"And I shall miss you with all my heart as well, my precious granddaughter."
