They believed it to be a stroke of luck, but little did they know, as time passed, their very consciousness would gradually be consumed by the ghost clan. Eventually, they would become nothing more than walking corpses, mere puppets of the clan. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Such was the case with Titus.
To be exact, he was no longer Titus, but rather a “corpse” completely controlled by the ghost clan.
The distinction between Titus and a real corpse was that Titus possessed a self–protection instinct. This instinct persisted even if the host’s consciousness was entirely consumed.
In other words, although the ghost clan could manipulate the host body to do many things, they were incapable of forcing the host body to end their own lives.
Trapped within this body, “Titus” had attempted numerous methods of suicide, such as starvation. However, whenever he reached the brink of hunger, the survival instinct of the “corpse” would be activated.
That was how “Titus” lived on in a miserable state, longing for
his death yet unable to achieve it. Under the prolonged torture, temper became volatile, and his memory descended into utter chaos.
It was not until this moment, upon seeing Yelena and the photograph in Emrys‘ hand, that Titus‘ murky eyes regained a semblance of clarity.

“Are you the girl from the spirit fox clan?” Titus suddenly asked. with a bitter smile after studying Yelena for a long time, his face full of melancholy.
“The spirit fox clan?” Upon hearing this new term, both Emrys. and Yelena displayed expressions of surprise.
Emrys, in particular, glanced at Yelena with mixed feelings.
No wonder Lena has such a bewitching fox–like face and often unintentionally exudes a captivating aura. It turns out she’s indeed a seductive fox… a true vixen!
Emrys almost couldn’t resist the urge to tease Yelena, but he knew it wasn’t the right time. He quickly dismissed the thought and asked in a serious tone, “What exactly is going on?”

ancient times. They possessed formidable physical strength, and as long as their hearts remained undamaged, they could reform their bodies even if they were shattered to pieces.
However, the Divine Revenants had a significant flaw–they were dim–witted, which meant that the ghost clan could easily manipulate the Divine Revenants‘ consciousness.
It was precisely for this reason that the Divine Revenants became the most favored host bodies for the ghost clan.
Back then, the four Soul Kings traversed Mount Jacaster and came all the way here with the sole purpose of resurrecting this Divine Revenant. Their intention was to possess this Divine Revenant, transforming it into a formidable killing machine.
Simeon, one of the four Soul Kings, possessed the strongest soul energy among them.
It had chosen Titus as its host.
After Simeon became the leader of Shadow Garden, all of his actions were covered up by the Chanaea Martial Arts Alliance, which made things easier for him. It was also more convenient for him to search for the Divine Revenant’s heart.
This matter was carried out with utmost secrecy.
