His naked body was curled into a fetal position as he aimlessly drifted in this dark void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused. Seeing absolutely nothing around him, realization struck him, and his lips curled into a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I died...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was his first thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that the chances of him perishing were high. After all, what he was attempting to do was highly risky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a lie to say that I don’t have any regrets,he thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was filled with overwhelming sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What will happen to Valerian? Although I made prior arrangements to have the lotus transferred to him, will he be okay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corruption in the valley is gone, so he should be safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how will he fare without me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s still a child...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam buried his face in his hands and sobbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m sorry, little Val. I was selfish. I hope you can forgive me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I truly hope that my soul is absorbed by the lotus, so that you can consume my memories. That should help you to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How will she react to my death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’ll be heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So will the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Eddie, and Lisa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please, forgive me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how long had passed, but suddenly he realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This doesn’t make sense,he wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the lotus absorbed my soul, then why do I still have sentience?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or is this the fate of all those who have been devoured by the artifact?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened his body and looked around. He was floating aimlessly in the sea of darkness. But suddenly, something caught his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away, he saw something glowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A speck of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s eyes squinted. Driven by curiosity, he flew towards the light, hoping to find answers to his current predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long time later, or perhaps only a few seconds later, he finally arrived before the speck of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gate?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it was a glowing, arched gate. The structure was so colossal that Adam appeared to be tinier than the tiniest grain of sand in front of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he closed his eyes and flew right through the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of waves thrashing against one another echoed in Adam’s ears. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing atop a vast river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, he was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen this river before. Once in a dream, and once in a divination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam turned around and found that the giant gate was no longer present. There was absolutely nothing behind him. Just a blank realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the river... it originated at his feet and flowed into the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam lowered his head, his gaze piercing the mystical waters of this river, and then, he saw something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw himself lying naked in a dark cave. All around him, there were bloody runic symbols carved onto the floor, the walls, and the ceiling of the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching himself sleeping peacefully in the cave, Adam was filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His train of thought came to a halt when he raised his head and peered further away at the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, he saw himself battling the abomination. His figure was a mess, and he was thrusting the Staff of Calamity at the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gulped subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a few more steps across the surface of the river, heading deeper. His gaze once again pierced through the waters, and he saw another scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a scene of him battling the six-winged serpent and stealing the fruits that grew on the unholy tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Adam realized what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the river that flowed into the past, and in its waters, he could see his own past!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam inhaled deeply, then continued to walk deeper into the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scene of him fighting the corrupted giant appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam watched his past with bated breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw himself descending into the Dark Valley. Then he saw himself walking across the plains of Yen-Lu, accompanied by the Sect Leader of the Shadow Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He witnessed the Battle of Kurogane Pass once again. He saw the time he spent in the Tsuitsui Clan. He then saw himself training young children at the Baihua Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw himself arriving at the peak of Mount Hoshigane. He witnessed his days of pain, madness, and loneliness as he journeyed through the jungles of Mabi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tebu appeared in his vision. Adam saw the scene of himself walking through the coral island, laughing as madness consumed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, he saw the Battle of Ravenfell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the scene of the exact moment the memories of his loved ones were altered. He saw the men of the Black Legion stab him with tearful eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam witnessed the Battle of Blackshore, where he received the moniker of the Dark King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the calm and happy days he spent at Saratoga Castle, teaching his three disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then witnessed his fight with the werewolf in the town of Stratford, underneath the blood moons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river continued to flow as time moved backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam saw himself participating in the great battle between the Southern Federation and the orcs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw his younger self enjoying his days at the Clover Academy, laughing and playing with Edward and Lisa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerian was born, and his heart was filled with love and warmth. That day, he had gained a little brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw himself fighting the vampire in Hannes City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he witnessed his first-ever battle with a pack of wolves. This was while he was in the traveling caravan, journeying to the Clover Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then saw the turning point in his life when he chanced upon an unassuming white lotus, floating gently on the surface of a pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam saw the days he spent with Anna, his sweet sister, whom he loved so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he moved deeper into the river, he grew younger and younger in the scenes he witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw himself with his parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, how much they loved him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He meant the world to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they meant everything to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, Adam arrived at a point in time which he did not recall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this was the day he was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a tiny hut nestled beneath the shade of an oak tree, the cries of a newborn baby echoed. An elderly midwife had just finished delivering the child. She gently wiped the newborn clean and wrapped him in fresh cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mina, it’s a healthy boy!\" the midwife exclaimed as she gently handed the baby to a woman resting on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman had dark eyes, and the man standing beside her had raven hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she cradled the newborn in her arms, tears of joy streamed down her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raven-haired man leaned down and gently kissed the woman on her head. He then softly asked, \"Have you decided what you want to name him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" the woman murmured, her eyes filled with love and adoration as she gazed at her son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kissed the baby’s forehead and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Happy birthday... Adam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1214,"2026-05-29T04:45:32.726Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.309Z",1,"novelbin.me","8b440112b09c401b984f731fdc1cf36b0df2ebbcc22e5c6e5ba036768fc3d8ac","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-1403","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-1401",1765,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-cover.jpg"]
