The senior brother's face was gloomy. He lifted my mother up as if she were a little chick and threw her towards me.

I hurriedly caught her, and the long sword pierced through her body like a hot knife through butter, causing her life force to rapidly fade away.

At the same time, indescribable wisps of something floated up from her corpse and landed on me.

Tears were already streaming down my face as I frantically tore at my clothes, wanting to remove whatever it was, whether it was a soul or something else.

And at that moment, the senior brother lifted my father onto the blade of my sword.

Both parents, gone from me.

The indescribable things that floated out of their bodies were absorbed by me. I was overwhelmed with grief, almost collapsing to the ground.

But suddenly, I felt a humming sensation in my hand holding the blood-stained long sword. An inexplicable power surged within me, and the sword in my hand emitted a dazzling light.

"Truly an exceptional talent! Junior apprentice, point your sword towards the heavens!"

When the senior brother saw the radiance of the long sword in my hand, he inexplicably became excited and urged me on incessantly.

The others also looked at me with hopeful eyes.

I could only obediently comply, fearing that they might also strike me with thunderous force.

In the moment when the sword pointed towards the sky, the weather changed, and a beam of light descended.

In a trance, within the dense clouds, I seemed to see something, like... like a gigantic eyeball, terrifyingly crimson.

Around that eyeball, thousands of tentacles intertwined and writhed, making me feel nauseous.

"You can communicate with the heavens! Junior apprentice, you truly can communicate with the heavens!!"

Upon seeing this strange phenomenon of heaven and earth, the senior brother became even more excited, his eyes filled with fervor, and the others were similar.

Did they not feel disgusted when they saw that monster?

I cautiously asked the sixth senior sister.

However, she said they saw celestial palaces and pavilions in the sky, a realm beyond the mortal world.

Why was what they saw completely different from what I saw?

Several senior brothers beside me were so excited that they cried out loud, muttering, "We're saved... we're finally saved... we've finally found the Child of Heaven..."

I didn't understand what had happened to them. I was the only one quietly staring at the sword in my hand, lost in thought, longing for my parents.

Regret filled my heart.
