Chapter 1066 Lizbeth's Heaven And Hell (6)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Lizbeth sat on the bed of herbs, hugging her knees and staring at the distance.

Lith sat cross-legged beside her, his posture erect, and stared at the distance as well.

The two had finished their talks and were currently reflecting.

The memories Lizbeth saw and the reason why she saw them distorted and even censored was due to her own self.

Lizbeth remembered bits and pieces, going through them, Lith that saw the things she had done at the end.

From the Human Continent, she came all the way to the Giant Kingdom. This place was not easily accessible and there was no recollection of how she arrived here in her memories.

There was a major memory gap and recovering those wasn't possible. However, Lith did find out the reason for the gap.

During her interaction with her parents, she was complaining about her life to God, having a monologue. It was at that time did she realize she could break free from her parents' shackles and had a choice.

Her alchemy skills were great and she had made a pill that would explode if injected with spiritual power. The explosion would create a colorless gas and make everyone in the room be in a mindless state.

Since Lizbeth was the one that created it, she had some form of protection against it. The protection kept her rational but did not let her retain her memories during that period of time.

How she ended up from her parents' mansion to the Giant Kingdom was still a big mystery. How long it had happened was another one.

Whatever the case be, Lizbeth was now an immortal, a Saint Rank.

The reason why she required food, sleep, and water to survive despite being an immortal had something to do with her teachings.

Being dirt poor since young, she had no access to resources or a master who would guide her.

The books she purchased only talked about alchemy related things and were barely about cultivation.

Her cultivation shot up purely because of her efforts in alchemy. Each understanding in this field led to breakthroughs in all the elemental affinities she possessed.

Although the attainment was high, the lack of guidance and blind charging ahead caused her a lot of trouble.

Her eyes… she was almost blind without her glasses. At present, she could not see past ten centimeters. Her vision was so messed up due to the lack of nutrition in her growth years.

Her menstrual cycle was also irregular and painful even till this day. Lith wouldn't be surprised if he found out she couldn't conceive any children.

This topic was better left untouched. All such things were a hundred percent curable and Lith himself could do it with the help of Life element.

There was no need for him to let Liz know about this and have her panic and suffer. He could silently cure her while she was asleep.

Also, the reason why she required food, sleep, and water had to do with her lack of knowledge on elemental energies' effects on the body.

She did not know that one could use those to nourish their bodies and can go without eating, drinking, or sleeping.

Lith could tell her about it right now, but he chose not to.

This poor girl had never eaten properly in her life. It was best to let her have some good food and enjoy this joy of life.

The pill she had made and used that day that caused all the memory issues was an entry level pill related to the soul. Despite being entry level, it had serious potency and effects. The people of this world weren't as versed in soul cultivation and could not take even the easiest attacks on their souls.

If an outsider that was proficient in it would come and attack, most of the people in this world wouldn't survive. It would be a massacre.

To develop such a pill with the limited knowledge from cheap alchemy books was almost an impossible task. It just went on to show how much of a genius Liz actually was.

To have her come to him… was it really just a coincidence? A stroke of luck? Fate?

It couldn't be the case.

Staring at the gently swaying white herbal plants, Lith thought to himself, 'There's something seriously suspicious going on around me. Before, I tried not to give it much thought, but now things have become too much.'

'Going all the way back… I became a Chosen One. While this is true, that group… everyone there has a tragic backstory except me. I don't know everyone's story, but I do know that they've suffered to the degree where death was their only sweet relief.'

'To not kill themselves even under such circumstances, they were worthy to be the Chosen Ones.'

'As for me… was I chosen because a group of depressed children could not be managed or led by another depressed child?'

Lith did not know. He could only guess.

After them, he had the encounter with Fei, then Keith and Fanny, then Sylvia, then Hyunsuk and Shi, and at last Lizbeth.

One thing common about all these people, except Hyunsuk, was how tragic their past was.

Keith's topped all, and she was the one that got a new body and reincarnated, leaving her human past behind. She was blessed by the one called Almighty Devil with the blessing being that she could lead a normal, peaceful life at last.

Keith was then bonded with Lith and was now living her life peacefully like the devil had blessed her to.

Fei and Sylvia, these two who shared a long history of tragedy also had it end and were leading a peaceful life under Lith.

Hyunsuk was a Charm, someone with a physique that had god tier luck. He was fated to have all the good luck in the world, and in the end, he ended up getting scammed by Lith and becoming his disciple.

He was now living a good and peaceful life, training under Neo — Lith's avatar — in the outer ring of the castle.

Polar opposite to him, Shi was a Jinx and was doomed to have all the bad luck. He was in the midst of suffering through major tragedies when Lith found him.

Like Hyunsuk, he too was living a relatively peaceful life alongside him, training under Neo.

He would definitely have his Jinx nature flare up and get his ass whooped, but there was no real danger to his life after meeting Lith.

At last, Lizbeth's years of prayers were heard. She too had suffered massively and had now found peace under Lith.

'This definitely is no coincidence. Once or twice, it was understandable. But all the depressed ones are coming under me.'

When pondering more on this, Lith realized that things way back than Fei's case.

The prime example of it was Arya. Her ability to love was sealed and this woman had lived all her life without knowing what a friend's love, a sibling's love, a parent's love, and a lover's love was.

She could not show affection and neither could understand it.

It was really tragic.

After her, he met his wife Alexandra. Her whole clan was wiped out and she was struggling and doing her best to survive against so many assassins after her. She had almost lost her parents too.

Lith was considered a source of peace for everyone involved. This was one thing common amongst everyone present.

Now why was such the case was a big mystery.

Lith did feel like asking his mother on this, but after some thinking, he realized she too was like his wives and maids.

Her past was tragic too. But now? There couldn't be anyone more laid back and relaxed than her.

'Just…'

Lith sighed and closed his eyes.

'…just what sort of power do I have?'

He laid down on the ground and began thinking of things deeply.

'How exactly is living near me peaceful? How exactly is associating oneself with me considered the pinnacle of peace? I don't even do anything or have anything that could be—'

'Huh!?'

Lith suddenly got up and sat straight, startling Lizbeth beside him.

'Wait… all the reincarnators from Earth get one unique skill after they cross over. Could this be…'

The hair on Lith's body stood up as a chill went down his spine and made him tremble.

'It can't be… haha… such a thing can't be my…'

Lith's body trembled and he turned to look at Lizbeth.

'…it can't be my unique skill… right?'

Noticing him staring, Lizbeth tilted her head and asked, "God, is something the matter?"

Calling God as Your Highness felt weird to her. She had been calling God as God for so many years now, suddenly changing it definitely didn't feel right.

Lizbeth thus went back to calling Lith as such since he gave her permission.

Lith smiled awkwardly and shook his head. "Nothing. Just thought of something."

Lizbeth nodded her head. "If there's anything you wish to say, please feel free to do so."

Lith nodded back and returned to staring at the swaying white plants.

'Shit… is this really not a coincidence? Is this really my unique skill? And everything this girl has suffered so far…'

Lith turned to look at Liz again. Her lush green hair swayed with the wind.

'…if it was hell… is the current place heaven for her?'
