Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

"Logically, that's correct." The Fourth Elder didn't dare make such a novice mistake, so he only gave an indirect answer.

"If I told you that this demon tide is just a preparatory stage, and something even more terrifying is yet to come, would you believe me?"

"This..." The Fourth Elder's face was full of doubt.

“I know what you’re going to ask next, how to prove all this. And the answer is simple, I can’t.” Contrary to the Fourth Elder’s expectations, William shook his head and offered no explanation.

"This... could this just be your guess?!" At this moment, the Fourth Elder felt like he had been toyed with. This caused his old anger to swell again with the suffocating pressure.

“Listen to the logic. If my theory is wrong, then we’re here without wasting anything. Your family will be able to withstand the coming monster outbreak without harming anyone. Not even my materials and belongings will be damaged.” “My request can hardly be considered valuable by any means. But what if my theory is correct? What do you expect to happen?”

Overwhelmed by the intense pressure, William had no choice but to blurt out those words. Even though he came from the future, even though he once possessed immense power, he now felt as weak as a kite in a raging tornado!

"This..." But just as he hurriedly blurted out, the Fourth Elder's face darkened. He fell into deep thought, pondering what William had just said.

Indeed, it's a crazy theory. As a knowledgeable elder, he knew it was a serious mistake to ignore something simply because it was impossible.

Just as William just said. If he's wrong, then the families and junior Soul Masters gathered here won't suffer any harm.

But if he's right... then his family is doomed!

As this terrifying thought flashed through my mind, a crisp scream suddenly rang in my ears, and I felt my clothes being impatiently tugged at.

"Fourth Elder, please release him!"

"Oh..." Just as he was pondering William's words, he forgot to control his soul power.

This plunged the bronze-skinned Soul Master before him into grief. William's face turned pale and bluish from the suffocating pressure, white foam began to emerge from his mouth, and his eyes darted from side to side, a chilling sight.

He was going to die if this continued. Berry screamed in terror and even dared to pull on the Fourth Elder's clothes.

“Alright,” the Fourth Elder withdrew his power, “I can’t say your crazy theory is right. But… I can’t ignore it either.”

The Fourth Elder's words shocked everyone present.

William said a lot, but never provided any evidence for his claims. Even children wouldn't believe him. But they were children, while the Fourth Elder was an adult who had witnessed many inexplicable misfortunes in the world.

For safety's sake, even if it makes him seem crazy or unbelievable, he has to take such a theory into account.

"Cough...cough..." When William was finally released, he was exhausted and collapsed to the ground. He coughed, air rushing into his lungs.

This time, he only intervened to help, but the result was terrible. However, he harbored no resentment towards the Fourth Elder.

For someone of his status, the family's interests should come first. And that was precisely what William relied on before he spoke.

Despite the brutal and dangerous nature of the debate, he ultimately got what he wanted: the elder's approval.

"Are you alright?" Berry walked briskly towards William, her face contorted with pain and horror. In fact, her complexion was no worse than William's. The latter nodded, struggling to steady himself.

“From your words and actions… I can see that you already know the essence of this conspiracy…” The Fourth Elder’s serious gaze fell on William, completely disregarding his current miserable state.

There were two possibilities in William's words. However, after the Fourth Elder thought about William's words for a moment, he realized that many of the details William mentioned were just fantasies.

The Fourth Elder felt that William already knew everything he had said, as if he knew all these secrets and plans!

It's not difficult to connect all these doubts together. Everything points to a single, simple fact: William knew what was going to happen to his family.

Even the most powerful figure in his family, the legendary patriarch, hadn't noticed this. Yet, this very child had conceived of such a deadly plot and even devised such actions to prepare for what was to come.

“I can’t say any more, or you’ll keep doubting me and thinking I’m crazy.” William swayed and struggled to his feet with Berry’s help.

"That…"

"You'll find out then. To be honest, I pray to God that my guess will be wrong, and that this is just a normal monster outbreak. But..."

"It's better to be safe than sorry," the Fourth Elder nodded. "Then let me ask you this... As an outsider, you have nothing to do with us, so why go through all this trouble?"

“This isn’t right for me.” William understood what the other person meant. To everyone’s surprise, he turned to look at Berry beside him and added, “This is all for her.”

At that moment, Berry's mind went blank, followed by a tremor deep within her body.
