Chapter 210

At the top of the tall tower, the Faceless Man glanced at Yu Miaomiao, who stood motionless before the great bell.

He had been imprisoned in this tower for ages. Except for the tower's base, which he hadn't discovered, he was intimately familiar with every detail of the twelve floors above. The murals on the first floor were particularly etched into his mind.

Yet, it was only now that he truly understood the true meaning of the Ascension Mural among the frescoes.

In the painting, the Fated One and the Inhabitant of the Tower had their figures intertwined, striking the great bell and summoning the ascension phenomenon.

This overlapping could easily be misinterpreted as two people standing one behind the other, facing the great bell. The painting's perspective was from behind them, seemingly to emphasize that there were two individuals, hence the additional figure drawn within the Tower Inhabitant's form.

In reality, however, it depicted the Fated One *inside* the Tower Inhabitant's body.

Wasn't this precisely Yu Miaomiao's current situation?

This phenomenon of one body with two souls, while rare, wasn't exceedingly so. Broadly speaking, Tan Wenbin currently housed three souls in one body.

However, souls differed. For those carried within or merely possessing, the primary and secondary roles were very clear. Their fate and destiny had a distinct hierarchical relationship.

But in Yu Miaomiao's case, the souls were relatively equal.

The "Yu Family Girl" should have been the legitimate daughter of the Yu family in this generation. Her status in the family was similar to Qin Ah-Li's current standing. Blessed with fate and fortune by the Dragon King's lineage, even if suppressed by the cat, her essence remained unchanged.

As for the cat, it wasn't a traditional accessory of the Yu family, nor was it merely a tool for a cat demon's soul to possess. It had always held absolute dominance within this body. Yu Miaomiao's foolish and arrogant side was largely attributed to it.

The mistress Ah Yuan recognized was this cat. The true driving force behind navigating the rivers was also this cat. Furthermore, after the changes in the Yu family, the Dragon King's lineage had altered its color. Therefore, its current identity was not that of a rebellious, master-devouring cat demon. Strictly speaking, it was now the more legitimate Miss Yu family cat.

A unique, equally balanced dual-soul entity, with both destinies blessed by the Dragon King's lineage—only then could it, by itself, add two strokes to the great bell.

“Heh heh.”

The Faceless Man let out a soft chuckle. He believed that the young man must have understood the painting's meaning long ago.

How foolish of him, to be caught in the game, yet so muddle-headed and confused all along.

Fortunately, the destiny of good fortune was now complete. The path to immortality was open. We shall ascend!

The Faceless Man tilted his head back, bathed in the radiant light, and spread his arms.

From his featureless face, two lines of clear tears flowed.

He had guessed his true identity, but he didn't care. If his existence was
