The Pinnacle of Life

Dorothy said, “Each time she reincarnates, she had to keep some of the memories retrieved with great difficulty. Hence, she couldn’t take the normal path during her reincarnation. Once she took the path in the Land of Ghosts, her memories would be cut. Thus, she took another path, but she had to suffer the pain of being crushed by a grinder.”

The grinder referred to the so-called Flesh Grinder. Alex had never been to the Land of Ghosts, and he didn’t know the specific situation over there.

“When it comes to me, it’s the final part,” Dorothy said. “But the worst thing was that Xienna once lost something when she encountered the Flesh Grinder in the passage of reincarnation. It’s the token of love between her and that man. She… Couldn’t remember his face. It may be the effect of the curse, or the God-slaying Sword. Or, perhaps it was the side effect of going through the Flesh Grinder too many times.”
