Chapter 6476

Some had pursued eternal life. They had trained bitterly for ten thousand years, only to fall short at the final step. Their souls had dropped into the Soulborn Forest, and their obsessions had not scattered.

Some had pursued supreme power. They had fought across the heavens, only to be surrounded and killed by stronger enemies in the end. Their bodies perished, their Dao vanished, and the mark they left behind refused to fade.

Some had given themselves up for the sake of protecting their order, their kin, and their friends. In the end, one person had not been enough to hold back the tide. Life and death split them apart, and what could never be set right remained forever.

Some had crossed the myriad worlds for a single day of revenge. In the end, their enemy had stood right before them, and they had been powerless to turn anything back. That refusal to accept it had been cut down to the bone.

Countless bright days and broken ones. Countless meetings and separations. Countless victories and failures. Countless lives and deaths.

All of it had been sealed inside this one Elderheart Soulwood. Ages had settled into it. Obsessions had piled up inside it. Since time immemorial, none of it had dispersed.
