305: Chapter 305 Morgana's Legacy! The Awakening of the Frost Legacy

In the early hours of the day after the aid plan was released, Lin Chen was checking the material distribution plans for various star domains under the tree of heavenly dao when he suddenly received an emergency communication from the Icebound Star Domain.

Sender: Icebound Star Domain Survivors' Council.

The content was only one line:

"Lord Lin Chen! Something has happened to that girl!"

Lin Chen's pupils constricted slightly, and without a word, he activated the teleportation.

A flash of light later, he appeared before the ruins of the icebound throne.

The scene before him left him stunned.

That girl—Morgana's reincarnation—was currently floating in mid-air, her entire body enveloped in an icy blue light. The light didn't come from the outside; it surged from within her, as if something was awakening.

Her eyes were closed, and there was no pain on her face, only an indescribable peace.

All around, the survivors of the Icebound Star Domain knelt in a wide circle. Some kowtowed, some wailed, and some murmured to themselves, "The Frost Supreme has returned... The Frost Supreme has returned..."

Lin Chen frowned and asked the council representative next to him, "What's going on?"

The representative was a white-haired old man, currently trembling with excitement. "Lord Lin Chen! Since last night, this girl has been standing in front of the ruins, holding that inheritance fragment. At dawn, the fragment suddenly began to glow, and then she... she floated up! This, this is a sign of inheritance awakening!"

Lin Chen fell silent for a second.

He remembered the words Morgana had left before her sacrifice: "If you encounter my reincarnation, give this back to her."

Now, she had returned it.

And that inheritance fragment was currently recognizing its master.

In the sky, the icy blue light grew stronger and stronger. The girl's hair began to grow longer, from shoulder-length to her waist, and then from her waist to her ankles. A complex rune appeared on her forehead—a totem Lin Chen had seen before on the icebound throne.

When the light reached its peak, the girl opened her eyes.

Those were icy blue eyes, exactly like Morgana's.

But the gaze was different.

Morgana's gaze had been cold, the frost of three million years of accumulated loneliness. But her gaze was complex—there was strangeness, confusion, a hint of familiarity, and a little bit of...

Gratitude?

She looked down at Lin Chen on the ground.

"Lin Chen," she spoke, her voice much clearer than before, "I see you again."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. "You remember me?"

The girl gently drifted back to the ground and walked up to him.

"I remember some things." She raised her hand, looking at the inheritance fragment that had already merged into her palm. "It told me many things. Morgana's life, the battles she fought, the star domain she protected, and..."

She paused, looking at Lin Chen.

"And you."

Lin Chen didn't respond.

The girl continued, "She remembers you. Remembers you taking out a loan to save her, remembers you counter-acquiring Alpha, remembers you standing before the icebound throne shouting her name. She left all these memories to me."

Lin Chen was silent for three seconds.

Then he asked, "So, who are you now?"

The girl was momentarily stunned.

"I... I am Morgana's reincarnation. But I am also myself." She looked down at her hands. "I have her memories, but not her power. I have her feelings, but not her experiences. I am her, and yet I am not her."

Lin Chen nodded.

"Then find it slowly."

The girl looked up. "Find what?"

"Find who you are," Lin Chen said. "Morgana is Morgana, and you are you. Her memories are your starting point, not your destination."

The girl froze.

She looked at Lin Chen, something flickering in her icy blue eyes.

"...Thank you."

Lin Chen waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Wait," the girl called out to him.

Lin Chen stopped.

The girl quickly walked up to him, holding an icy blue crystal in her hands—it was the remaining part of the inheritance fragment, only the size of a fingernail.

"Give this to you," she handed it over.

Lin Chen frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Morgana's final power was split into two parts. Most of it is within me, but a small portion was left in this fragment," the girl said. "She said that if one day you need the power of the Frost Law, this fragment can help you once."

Lin Chen looked at the fragment but didn't take it.

"I don't need the Frost Law."

The girl smiled.

That smile was exactly like Morgana's—proud, stubborn, with a hint of disdain.

"It's not for you to use. It's for you to sell."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.

The girl continued, "You are a merchant, best at selling things to the highest bidder. This fragment contains the last sliver of the Frost Law's origin; it's a unique treasure. If you want to sell it, you can definitely get an astronomical price."

Lin Chen was silent for a second.

Then he laughed.

"You learn fast."

The girl nodded.

"In Morgana's memories, there are many fragments about you. She was always studying you, wanting to know why you could win so many times."

"Did she reach a conclusion?"

The girl shook her head.

"No. But she left a sentence for you."

"What sentence?"

The girl looked at Lin Chen and said word for word:

"She said: 'Lin Chen doesn't win because he's smart; he wins because he knows that some things are more important than winning.'"

Lin Chen fell silent.

For a long, long time.

So long that the surrounding survivors began to whisper.

Then he reached out and took the fragment.

"Thank her for me."

The girl nodded.

Lin Chen put the fragment away and turned to leave.

After a few steps, he stopped again.

Without looking back, he asked:

"What is your name?"

The girl was momentarily stunned.

Then she smiled.

"Morgana," she said. "My name is Morgana."

"I know I'm not her right now, but this name, I want to keep it."

Lin Chen nodded.

He continued walking.

Behind him, the girl's voice came:

"Lin Chen!"

He stopped.

"Next time you come to the Icebound Star Domain, I'll buy you a drink."

Lin Chen didn't look back.

He just waved his hand.

The teleportation light flared.

He disappeared from the Icebound Star Domain.

The girl stood where she was, looking in the direction where the light had vanished.

The fragment in her hand was gone.

But in her palm, there was still a faint warmth.

It was left behind when Lin Chen took the fragment.
