Eternal Thief
chapter-1102

Alina was astounded when she heard how much time had passed since she started the process of bloodline sweep, and Ace had already ascended to the next heaven.

Ace patiently summarized all the details while omitting useless ones until he reached the point of his current situation. Eva also remained silent and let him explain without obstructing him.

After Ace was done, Alina had a pretty good idea about their current situation, and she took a deep breath and muttered with a hint of sadness, "So we are no longer in Mortal Sky Heaven? The Blood Ancestor is also dead, and I won't be able to meet my parents now, huh? Pity, I want to introduce you to them at least once…"

Although she didn't have the best relationship with her parents, she didn't hate them. She knew what they did was for survival and was forced to do it because of the Blood Ancestor.

She even wanted to avenge her grievance by killing the Blood Ancestor personally, but Ace had already beaten her to it, which means her parents and clan didn't need to hide anymore.

But now that she was no longer in Mortal Sky Heaven, she knew going back would be impossible. However, as long as she was with Ace, she accepted it since she had already decided to be with him forever.

However, Ace revealed something at this moment with a heavy heart. He didn't even tell Eva about it because he didn't want to worry her.

"The Golden Sky World is no more."

Eva's and especially Alina's eyes widened when they heard this unexpected and vague sentence.

"What do you mean no more?" Alina asked as she had a very bad feeling.

"At that time when I released the world seal…" Ace decided to come clean as he knew it was his fault for what happened back then.

Eva was flabbergasted when she heard about the 'Curse of Destruction' while Alina directly started to emit dense killing intent because this meant her parents and clan were no longer alive!

"It was all my fault. But that thing was simply too powerful, so powerful that an entire world was nothing but sacrifice in its eyes." Ace's voice was filled with guilt and self-blame.

However, before Alina or Eva said anything, Ace revealed another thing, "But I've saved everything I could, especially people close to you. Alina, your parents, and clan are completely fine, and they are in this living space ring that I got from the Devil Ancestor Edward."

At this moment, a storage ring suddenly fell into Alina's hand out of nowhere, and Alina felt huge relief wash over her as she didn't know what she would've done. She didn't want to blame Ace for it despite him being the reason for what happened back then, but she was sure she would've gone after that Curse of Destruction.

Eva also sighed in relief when she saw Alina's chaotic emotions calm down. She was different from Alina because she didn't have anyone other than Ace who she cared about, so despite being shocked by the news, she didn't care, even if it was Ace's fault.

But she knew Alina was different. If he hadn't saved Alina's clan, their relationship might've taken a huge blow, and she didn't want that since she knew how much he cared about Alina. Despite not liking Alina, she didn't hate her and even considered Alina her rival.

"Thank you for saving them!" Alina spoke as she clenched the ring in her hand.

"Heh, you just doubted Ace for a moment, right?" Eva still decided to take a jab to feel good about it, but she sternly said to Ace, "You shouldn't blame yourself for it. That thing shouldn't have been sealed in that place, to begin with. It's the fault of whoever created that seal to lock down something so terrible in the Mortal Sky Heaven because they didn't have the guts to handle it on their own!"

Alina nodded as she agreed with Eva despite not wanting to and coldly stated, "She's right; it wasn't your fault. That thing didn't belong in that place, so you can't blame yourself. You did what you could, and it wasn't like you had another choice. And I will never doubt him! It's just that I would have to find that thing myself and make sure he'll suffer for eternity for what it did!"

Ace didn't know what to say, but he still felt a little better after hearing they weren't blaming him. But he wasn't going to shun the responsibility away. He had long decided that if he had a chance, he would avenge the Golden Sky World!

"Thank you for your understanding," Ace said warmly. "Oh, other than your Clan and Lillian, there are Thomas and Aliya in that ring as well. They are my people. Let them stay there for a while until we find some place for them in this place, and I'll meet your parents as well with you. I haven't interacted with them because I was waiting for you and had Lillian take care of everything.

"This ring is yours now, but I think you should refrain from entering it since it might not be able to handle your presence, just to be on the safe side. Since you have also successfully swept the bloodline, I should hand you over the inheritance that I got with this bloodline."

Alina's eyes shone with anticipation when she heard it. She also completely forgot about her sadness or that hatred she had just felt because now she no longer had any attachment to the Mortal Sky Heaven. She also blushed slightly when she heard Ace would meet her parents with her, just like a girl in love.

At this moment, in front of her, a black jade scroll, and a black crystal sword with shimmering stars on its extremely thin translucent blade appeared in front of her.

"This jade scroll is a cultivation technique called the Sun and Moon Sword Sutra, and it is sealed. Only you with your bloodline can access it. This sword is called the Calamity Star Sword, and like this scroll, only someone with your bloodline can tame and use it. I don't know its actual grade, but it has to be extremely powerful.

"There was also a token, but it was rigid, and there was a hidden soul in it. If you touched it, that soul might take over your body. So, I'm going to keep it hidden until I take care of that sneaky bastard!" Ace said, and towards the end, his voice was icy cold as he still remembered that Bloodline Bound Token façade.

If he didn't have the system, he would've been tricked and killed Alina with his own hands.

Alina's eyes widened when she saw the sword. Despite seeing it for the first time, she felt a strange attraction to it, and she was also shocked when she heard the part about that token.

Eva, on the other hand, grimly looked at the sword because she just heard Flaggy's voice in her head.

"That sword is just like me!"
