Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2821

A name popped up in Severin's mind as he gazed at the scene unfolding before him. He gulped and felt a tingle creep over his scalp as he looked at the elderly figure in disbelief. "May I be so bold as to ask if you are the Green Emperor?" he ventured cautiously.

The old man smiled with a warm and friendly demeanor reminiscent of an elderly next-door neighbour. "To think that there are still those who remember my name after countless epochs," he remarked with a smile.

Severin felt as if a bombshell had been dropped on him upon hearing that revelation. The Green Emperor was none other than the legendary figure who had once led humanity in battles against savage beasts. The remnant soul that had manifested before Severin was none other than that the most powerful immortal of yore. The magnitude of the realization crashed over Severin like a tidal wave.

Severin bowed deeply and said respectfully. "I am Severin Feuillet, a human. Greetings, Green Emperor," he intoned reverently.

The Green Emperor waved his hand and said, "You may dispense with these formalities. I am but a shadow of my former self now—a remnant of my soul, if you may."

Severin's expression contorted in shock as his eyes widened and his scalp prickled with disbelief. "A... A remnant soul?" he stammered incredulously. For the once-majestic Green Emperor—an individual revered as the pinnacle of immortality—to exist only as a faint echo of his former glory seemed to hint at the cruel truth of the immortal world.

The Green Emperor observed Severin's distress and sighed heavily. "Indeed. I ascended to the immortal realm many epochs ago, yet only a fragment of my soul remains. Looking back, I find it a rather tragic turn of events," he lamented.

Severin's sense of disbelief deepened with each revelation. The notion that such a formidable figure could meet their demise even after ascending to the immortal realm was simply unthinkable. He mustered up the courage to ask, "Who could possibly have the power to do such a thing to a true immortal like yourself? If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know."
