Novel Bin Chapter 233 The Next Level!
"Eternal White Mist..." Shin mumbled, repeating after Adult Alice\'s words.
A frown inadvertently appeared on his face. Because this mist was too mysterious for him. Surrounded by this mysterious Eternal Mist, Shin was powerless. All his abilities were useless.
If not for Alice\'s Soul Space, he might have been stuck there for who knows how long. Thinking of this, a chill ran down his spine.
"What is this Eternal White Mist? And why would it come after me?"
He was sleeping in his room and was suddenly kidnapped by this mysterious power. How can he calm down?
Adult Alice understood Shin\'s emotions. Anyone would be worried if they were in his position.
"Calm down, Shin. First, take a seat and have a cup of tea. I\'ll explain everything."
Shin took a deep breath and nodded. As he sat down, Alice also followed after to sit beside him.
"Wait, that\'s my seat!" Adult Alice stepped forward to stop Alice from sitting beside Shin. But Alice ignored her words and gave a victorious, mocking smirk and said.
"Why are you being so petty about it? Aren\'t we the same?"
Hearing the familiar sentence spoken back to her. Adult Alice gritted her teeth and couldn\'t refute her.
"If you weren\'t me. I would have killed you."
When Alice heard this, her smirk widened even more. Shin also looked at them with interest. He had long wanted to find out about the mystery of Alice. But because of some restrictions placed on her, Adult Alice wasn\'t able to tell him before. Maybe today his doubts will be answered.
\'But first, let\'s understand what that Eternal Mist is.\'
Adult Alice served a cup of tea to Shin and ignore her other self as she sat on the opposite side.
Alice had a smile on her face, which seemed very cold as she looked at Adult Alice\'s actions.
Intending to take revenge and make the other her feel jealous. She leaned her body closer to Shin. While doing that, she also gave the Adult Alice a provoking look.
All her small actions fell on Adult Alice\'s eyes. But she just shook her head with a sigh. \'Childish,\' she thought inwardly. She has lived for a long time and experienced a lot of things. How could this small provocation affect her?
Just then, Alice went even closer to him and her body directly leaned against Shin\'s chest.
*Crackle*
The cup in Adult Alice\'s hand seemed to have cracked a little.
\'How dare this bitch?\'
\'So enviable.\'
\'I also want to be in his embrace like that.\'
Just when she was thinking about what to do with Alice. Her thoughts were broken by Shin\'s question.
"So, can you tell me now?"
His tone was very serious. As for Alice leaning on him. He just gently patted her head and didn\'t say anything.
Adult Alice also straightened up as the atmosphere became a little serious.
"The Eternal White Mist is the obstacle that stops mortals from ascending to the next level."
Although her tone was simple. The information revealed in that sentence was earth-shattering.
"What stops mortals? Immortals? How could that be?" Shin asked in shock.
Even though he knew as he becomes stronger, his lifespan will increase, but the concept of immortality was still too far for him to think.
"What\'s there to be shocked about? You are now surrounded by immortal beings. All these plants, animals, and even I, none of us, are mortals."
She said, while taking a sip of the tea. The cracked cup in her hands was magically repaired unknowingly.
Alice didn\'t seem too surprised about this. But Shin\'s eyes, looking at the animals and trees in the garden, changed.
As for Adult Alice calling herself an immortal, it wasn\'t that surprising to him. He wanted to ask something, but her next words made him swallow back his words.
"Don\'t ask anything about immortals now. Your strength is too weak. If you know too much, you may end up facing troubles far more than you can handle with your current self."
Shin knew what she said was right. Even with his cheat-like ability, he was still too weak. How inflated was he before? Even if he is strong among the humans. What does it matter? Currently, humans on Earth are too weak compared to other races.
\'It\'s all because I am too weak.\'
Shin thought self-depreciatingly. To be honest, if Shin focuses on improving his Plunder ability. His strength will be many times stronger than his current self. But to do that, he will need to go on a killing spree. Killing monsters is a good way to Plunder Skills. Which he also prefers.
Though, if he wants to get stronger faster, plundering abilities is the best option. But who made him a hypocrite who wants to avoid unnecessary deaths?
Killing enemies for his interest is fine with him. But he doesn\'t want to be a butcher maniac who will kill anyone wantonly just to obtain their abilities.
This was also the reason why he stopped himself from killing Eddie Jones and plundering his ability. Otherwise, if he did that once, he won\'t hesitate to do it the next time.
If you ask him, when Shin first met Aurora and saw her information with his magic eyes. He was very tempted to obtain her ability. It\'s just that the ability was too compatible with Aurora because she was a half-royal vampire and in his hands, the Blood Warlock ability would have never been able to shine. This made him think otherwise, and he decided to befriend them.
When Aurora attacked him, he thought of killing her. But then he noticed that her anger was directed toward Wolner Clan, not himself. So, he decided to give her another chance.
Of course, if that hadn\'t worked and Aurora had decided to become his enemy, regardless. Then she would have been the one to suffer.

"Shin?!" Alice\'s voice woke him out of his thoughts.
Shaking his head, Shin looked at Adult Alice in front of him and asked in puzzlement.
"As per what you said, \'The Eternal White Mist is the obstacle that stops mortals from ascending to the next level\', so what does it have to do with me? Forget about ascending. I am not even level 100 yet."
"Yes, with your current level, you are not even qualified to ascend."
Although her words sounded harsh. Shin knew that was the truth.
"So, why was I sucked in that Eternal Mist?"
This is what he is most confused about.
Adult Alice sighed and stated.
"It\'s because you have been in contact with the energies used by immortals."
"What do you mean?" When Shin asked this, he immediately thought of Divine Energy.
"The energies you are familiar with, such as Mana, Life Energy, Aura, Death Energy, and Demonic Energy, are the ones used by mortals. Normally, a mortal could never use Divine Energy unless he ascends or gets the blessing of an immortal."
"Did I get your blessing?"
"Divine Energy given by blessing could never be cultivated."
"So how?"
"Because you have drunk my blood. Your blood and body also went through several changes. So, with my little help, you were able to accumulate Divine Energy. Although because of the restriction of the mortal body, the process is slow, and the energy is too little. But this amount is enough for your current use. Once you step on the path of immorality, your foundation will already be strong."
"So I can cultivate Divine Energy thanks to your golden blood, which you gave me 4 years ago?"
Shin asked, remembering the incident in the hospital.
Adult Alice looked at him in surprise and said. "I thought you were unconscious, then."
Shin didn\'t know how to explain his experience. Should he say he saw it in a dream? In the end, he just answered vaguely.
"I just seem to remember that memory. I don\'t know how to explain it."
Adult Alice was thoughtful. She felt like Shin wasn\'t telling her the whole truth, but since he didn\'t tell her, she didn\'t ask.
"So because as a mortal I used divine energy, I was sucked in by that Eternal Mist."
Shin mumbled, and a confused expression appeared on his face.
If that\'s the case, why didn\'t it happen before? He had used divine energy many times before. Isn\'t there a specific reason that it happened today?
"No, it\'s not because of the divine energy that you were sucked by the Eternal Mist?"
Adult Alice\'s statement surprised Shin.
"It\'s that not the case then. Why?"
As he asked that, another thought appeared in his mind. \'Could it be demonic energy? But she said it was an energy used by mortals.\'
Adult Alice just shook her head and said. "Just like Divine Energy. Chaotic Energy is also a type of energy immortals cultivate."
When Shin heard this, his eyes fell on Alice leaning in his arms.
Adult Alice looked at them sourly and said while pouting.
"Hmph, who asked you to do with her in queen form?!"
