Everyone suddenly calmed down after listening to Dorian's words.
Everything is fair under the eyes of the heavens.
Everything is fair under the eyes of the heavens.
Everything is fair under the eyes of the heavens...
The more he recalled his words, the more curious and nerve-wracked they became.
Dorian raised his hands, showing 3 fingers up.
"You have 3 choices to make.
But before you do, you have to understand that there is life, death, and the endless cycle of reincarnation."
Reincarnation?
To their confusion, Dorian nodded his head lightly.
"Yes. Reincarnation.
To put it simply, this is not your first, not your last life. All humans or mortal souls get judged, sent for punishment to reincarnate later, or reincarnate immediately if they are good."
Everyone's eyes twinkled, listening to Dorian's sage words.
The worst was the punishment if they were bad.
So someone could get punished for thousands and thousands of years before reincarnating?
(°?°)
Crazy! Crazy!
It was funny because if people did know this, some would still decide to do evil, wanting to enjoy this life.
After all, wasn't it better to live in the moment than acquire some future Karma that they wouldn't even recall?
In their next life, they won't remember this one, so what did it matter?
Some people thought like that back in Dorian's old world.
Some people were just rotten to the core and would take a miracle to change.
For these people, Dorian couldn't care less.
Everyone in the room swallowed hard, knowing that the heavens were more real than they thought.
.
"You have 3 choices.
Your first is to die just as predicted.
However, everything is fair under the eyes of the heavens.
So in your next lives, your taken-time will be given back. And you will also have a slightly more prosperous fortune than what you had in this life.
That is the compensation from the heavens."
Oh~~
For some reason, listening to the compensation made them feel a lot better.
Well, it does seem fair.
The couple nodded, wanting to first listen to all 3 options before making their choice.
"Grandmaster, what's the 2nd option?"
"It's the inverse of the first.
You can choose to live past your designed original day of death by taking the years from your next life's... And the extra years that were supposed to get added as a blessing will become void."
Immediately, the couple didn't want to choose the 2nd option.
What if in their next life, they were meant to live till their late 30s ended up dying at 14 or something?
As people who visit the supermarket frequently, this looks like a bad deal.
They might as well choose the first option and die knowing that they would have a better fortune and longer life span in their next lives.
Taking life off their next one to make up for this one?
What a lousy deal!
Everyone else felt the same as well.
"Grandmaster, we don't want the 2nd option," Mia spoke out, without even knowing what the 3rd option was.
So was so disgusted by the 2nd option that she just wanted it out of the way.
[Endo]: (T_T)... Wife, can you calm down?
A moment ago, the woman was crying her eyes out. Now, she looked like she was about to bargain with a store clerk.
This was life they were talking about, not some tin of tomatoes, okay?
.
Dorian chuckled, staring at the lively people before him.
The people in this world sure were interesting.
~Thup. Thup. Thup. Thup.~
Dorian tapped the table, glancing at both couples and secretly praising his luck.
"With other people, they might not have this last option I'm about to give you... Only a select few have this option."
"What is Grandmaster?"
Everyone was still intrigued, and Haru and Bewoh, who finished what they were doing, calmly appeared behind Dorian.
Their presence only made things more interesting.
Damn!
Everyone only felt fidgety and anxious, wanting to know what this third option was.
And the couple was no exception, especially when it had to do with their lives.
['Host, are you going to...']
'Hmmmm.'
Dorian looked at them deeply.
"Do you know why your lifespan got affected so greatly?"
"No."
They responded, vigorously shaking their heads sideways.
Everyone else also shook their heads subconsciously too... All except Donghai.
"Grandmaster... Would it have to do with the mortal shell thing you said earlier?"
Dorian stared at Donghai, inwardly satisfied.
As expected of a Gia.
He had a sharp mind, nitpicking on the littlest of details.
"Hmhm... It's because of your mortal shell."
Mortal shell?
Everyone was still confused but decided to listen attentively.
More confusing was why only a few people had this option.
And for this, Dorian only had to say it was talent.
As he said earlier, not everyone can be an exorcist, just as not everyone can be a star, an engineer, or a fisherman.
They were all professions, some requiring rigorous exams to get qualifications.
And do become an exorcism, the first initial exam was on checking the talents.
The entire world can't be exorcists, just like the whole world can't be musicians.
The heaves distributed talents very faulty.
Some have architectural talents, others are pro sport athletes, others make great spokespeople, and some just have the core talent for Exorcism.
While touching their palms, he was very pleased.
For now, he wanted them to be caretakers... But with their talents, he would later prepare them to be Academy elders.
.
"3rd option!
You will have to break through your mortal shell and keep raising your strength.
Additionally, you will all have to gather more good Karma for the heavens, never straying into the darkness.
In doing this, you will not only survive past your 8 and 11 years left, but you will also do so without losing your blessings from the heavens.
You will get to enjoy both... But the journey will not be easy.
So... How do you choose?"
