Threshold Of Twilight [II]

"Senior, please forgive me for asking. Are you a god?"

"A mere god? No, young mortal. I'm no god. Your immortal gods and divines are from this universe of yours, I'm not. I'm a law of creation. Anywhere there is creation, I exist there. This universe, the chaos and the void. My existence is in all. Many call me, Death, with disdain. This I accepted because they don't know any better. Young mortal, if I tell you just my name, your spirit will forsake you. You'll cease to exist."

The old man looked at Ju Feng with closed eyes. How could this young mortal know the powers of the shadows trailing his soul at a distance? Shadows that had shortened his previous life, and he had only escaped a permanent destruction by a sheer luck. The shadows which would go through any length to erase his total existence. He felt a bit of sympathy for Ju Feng which made the lids covering his eyes glowed fervently.
