The black fragments swirled again. It seemed the Prophet wanted Li Luo and Jin Lou to also see the "predestined fate" she spoke of.
Within the black smoke before them, a scene slowly materialized.
...
The Prophet, or rather, the memory construct of Lin Nian, had long known that Hell Island was not normal.
Because most of the humans on this island had no self-awareness.
But the Prophet was an exception. She possessed reason and the ability to think for herself.
She tried to communicate with those humans, but it was like talking to a brick wall; she received no response.
However, she discovered that some of the other races on the island would occasionally have individuals with simple intelligence, such as—the Inheritor.
The Inheritor would go around the island, looking for beings to read to, regardless of whether they were human or from another race. After it finished reading the contents of its strange books, it would answer any questions posed to it.
