His Identity
Kellen had already had a guess in his mind, but why would it be him?
He simply couldn't believe it.
Kellen frowned and dived into the icy pond again.
The huge stone with the word "Kellen" engraved on it had the typical uneven texture of a stone, but overall it was smooth and flat.
Kellen looked around this huge rock and found that it resembled a staircase.
He thought for a moment, surfaced to take a breath, and then continued straight down along the giant rock.
Sure enough, about one meter below, another huge rock appeared.
This boulder is similar to the previous one, except that it has a different character "Morton" written on it.
It took him quite some time to recognize it.
Kellen shot up and floated to the surface, taking a deep breath.
The combination of two words almost confirmed his speculation deep in his heart.
This icy pond mansion... he actually built it?
Or is it, built by a powerful person with the same name as him in the past?
Kellen still didn't believe that he would be the one with that identity.
He gritted his teeth and dived down again.
When he was analyzing it for Susie, he speculated about the depth of this icy pond. But now, he suddenly feels that the depth of this icy pond is unpredictable. He doesn't know where the deepest part leads to. Could it be the Extreme Depth?
Kellen descended to the third step, and by this point, he was already feeling a bit exhausted. The distance between the third step and the second step was two meters, and not only did the water pressure increase, but there was also an invisible sense of intimidation.
However, he also saw clearly the words written on the third giant stone, and indeed it was the character "Nature".
The fourth giant stone...
Kellen, under pressure, was diving deeper when he had just caught sight of the shadow of the fourth boulder, suddenly a tremendous force swept towards him!
Kellen instantly felt that he was about to be crushed into pieces, and he could even feel his eyeballs bulging out.
The veins on his arm bulged, as if he was about to burst and die in the next moment.
But Kellen was unwilling to give up. He stubbornly endured the crushing pressure and moved forward another arm's length, finally able to see the fourth word clearly.
Emperor!
At first glance, this character exuded a strong sense of pressure, as if it were the trace left by the person who wrote it, similar to one's breath.
After such a long time, there was still such a great pressure. Getting closer would easily crush a person, which shows how powerful the person who wrote it was back then!
Kellen immediately fled and soon burst out of the water, taking a deep breath!
He didn't look back and swam straight to the shore, until he collapsed on the shore. His face still had a horrified expression.
Based on the name "Kellen" and the character "Emperor" on the fourth stone, along with previous signs, his identity was obvious.
He was Emperor Justice!
Startled, he sat up by the icy pond, only to realize that Emperor Justice was himself?!
Kellen's head was buzzing, what was going on?
In theory, it should not be possible.
In this life, he was much weaker than Susie. Susie is only a few years old, but he has already awakened to Yama's mission.
And how old is he now?
If he was really Emperor Justice, would there be such a weak Emperor Justice?
If it is true, then what was the reason before that made him become the present Kellen? Why does it feel like I am just a mortal body?
What was his purpose?
The most important thing is... Was Yama also his daughter before?
As Kellen thought about these things, he felt that the more he thought, the more questions arose, like a huge puzzle enveloping him.
Now Kellen only felt that Susie's journey to the mortal world in this life was probably not simple.
And the secret behind this may be hidden in the deepest part of the icy pond.
In the past, humans could dive to a depth of approximately 10 meters without any equipment, with the maximum limit being 17 meters.
From the depth he had just dived, the fourth giant stone was probably located at a depth of around 10 meters - of course, this was only his estimation.
The main interference to his judgment was the pressure of the boulders, with each descending step, the distance between the boulder below and the previous one increased by about one meter in depth.
So the depth of the seventh giant stone should have been about 23 meters.
The limit of human beings is 17 meters...
Kellen's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
It seemed that he was absolutely unable to go down to the seventh giant stone at the moment, and he had a secret intuition that it would be beneath the seventh giant stone.
Kellen was extremely frustrated.
But he was not willing to give up like this. The truth about Susie was something he had to pursue.
"Then let's give it a try!" Kellen's gaze became determined.
Without hesitation, he leaped into the icy pond!
Just like his speed training with the cat, this time, it was the icy pond and the intimidation of those words that trained him.
Kellen approached the giant stone with the word "Emperor" written on it several times in the past, and several times he was almost crushed. The last time, he approached with eyes filled with rage, and as a result, blood burst out from all seven orifices.
He dared not push further, immediately climbed up and lay by the icy pond, gasping for breath.
Without the dilution of the water from the icy pond, Kellen's blood quickly stained his clothes red. Not only was his body covered in blood, but his eyes, nose, ears... were all bleeding. From a distance, he looked like a person bleeding from seven orifices, which was quite terrifying.
Kellen struggled to get up and, leaning against the stone wall and clutching a bouquet, slowly made his way towards the mansion.
He needed to take a rest for a while...
Just a moment...
Suddenly, Kellen collapsed with a loud thud, his eyes closed, and he crashed onto the ground, losing consciousness.
