To become the Celestial was, in truth, a process of being assimilated by the Celestial itself.
If one did not truly sever all emotions and attachments, they would inevitably suffer the Celestial's backlash!
And the backlash of a Celestial-level being was not something Leslie could withstand.
If she acted rashly, she would be utterly obliterated!
Yet, despite the Old Order woman's warning, Leslie's eyes remained firm.
"I have to try."
Seeing Leslie's unwavering determination, the Old Order woman's chest rose and fell in frustration.
She had taken Leslie as her disciple not just because of her special identity, but because Leslie had once possessed a heart free of attachments and emotions!
It was an exceptional rarity, and it was the most crucial trait needed to become the Celestial.
Yet now, Leslie was stubbornly choosing this path of self-destruction!
"Leslie, I have always given you freedom, believing you could control your emotions and steer your own fate."
