In the dim abyss, there were only two Aarons standing opposite each other.
One was the real "Aaron Brecht", who embraced the "Speech Heart Oath", had gone through trials, had firm beliefs, and clear eyes.
The other was a strange mirror image.
He had the same face, breath, seals, and even the same oath, but there was no light in his eyes, only cold scrutiny and oppression, as if he was not a person, but some kind of structural echo.
"What are you?"
Aaron spoke in a deep voice, the soul inscription wheel turned quietly, and the light of the language element flickered at his fingertips.
Mirror Aaron smiled faintly, and the sound did not come from his throat, but directly vibrated in Aaron's heart through the soul language.
"I am the excluded part of your "speech oath", the judgment you don't want to face."
"I am, the oath negator."
Boom!
A black rune unfolded above the mirror image Aaron's head. Its structure was almost the same as the "Speech Heart Oath", but it reversed every layer of the numerology logic. If Aaron's oath advocated "language is truth", then this figure was "language is false, truth cannot be spoken".
The two numerology concepts quickly collided in space, triggering a chain reaction.
Countless black and white rune storms began to rage, and Aaron felt that the surrounding space seemed to begin to peel off, and his memory, consciousness, and beliefs began to be forcibly decomposed, compared, and reorganized.
This is not a battle, but a judgment of the collapse of self-logic.
"You can't win." The oath negator said in a cold tone, "Every soul who constructs the language oath will eventually be backfired by his own language."
"Because language itself is a wrong tool."
"It can never describe the truth, it can only disguise the truth."
Aaron felt a splitting headache.
Every word spoken by the oath negator will automatically collide with the oath in his soul, giving him an illusion of self-denial.
He was almost drawn into the profound "language paradox" and could not extricate himself.
But at this moment, he suddenly remembered a sentence that the Shadow Mentor had said: "Constructing the oath is not for absolute truth, but to establish your "position."
"Language can be false, but the matter of 'choosing to believe in language' is your control over your destiny."

Boom!
At that moment, a fierce fire of inspiration burst out in Aaron's mind.
He suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the oath negator in front of him, and slowly said: "You are right, language cannot construct absolute truth."
"But I don't need language to prove the truth."
"I just need it to become-my way of expressing my will."
He raised his hand, the soul inscription wheel spun wildly, and the four-ring seal "Speech Heart Oath" burst into dazzling silver light.
"Language is not truth, but I am the will of real existence."
"I decide how to use it, instead of letting it decide me!"
Boom--!
Aaron used his mind as a sword, turned the will of the oath into a sharp blade, and slashed at the mirror figure.
The pupils of the oath negator shrank slightly. He tried to mobilize the "chain of negation" to fight back, but found that his structure was being rewritten by Aaron's belief.
Every language attack would be rewritten into positive logic by Aaron's belief, and then fought back.
The two fates began to reverse.
The black rune collapsed, and the silver oath was rebuilt.
Finally, the oath negator let out an angry roar, and the whole person gradually disintegrated in the rune storm, turning into countless negated logical fragments and dissipating into the abyss.
The whole space was instantly bright, and a golden door made of pure language opened in front of Aaron.
That was exactly-
The original structure of the "Gate of Life Oath".
He took the last step and stepped into it.
I don't know how long it took, when Aaron opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on the third-floor corridor of the "Wordless Court".
Mirror Singer, Whisperer, and several high-level constructors were all waiting.
"You...successfully defeated the 'Oath-negator'?" A silver-haired old man said in disbelief, "That is a phantom logic body that even many fourth-level spiritual oath-takers find difficult to cross..."
Aaron nodded gently, his eyes calm.
"I didn't defeat him, I just accepted the meaning of his existence - and then rejected it."
Everyone was silent.
In the life soul system, the oath-negator is the "logical shadow" that every oath-taker must face before entering the fourth level. Many people even stagnate here for their entire lives and cannot cross it.
Aaron, however, completed the decomposition of this fate at the "initial level".
Jing Chang looked at him and suddenly said: "You, must accept the soul record."
This is an extremely rare ritual in the life soul system.
Only when the individual language structure undergoes unique evolution and produces "contributory fluctuations" to the system, can one be qualified to enter the "Soul Language Monument".
Aaron nodded silently.
A few days later.
At the top of the "Monument Mountain" of the Soul Academy, a new soul inscription was engraved on the heavenly monument: Brecht Aaron
"Break the mirror to know the language, swear to accept the enemy.
The heart of language is immortal, and the shadow of negation is hard to invade.
When entering the gate of the oath of life, reverse the logical illusion and build the prototype of the "subjective will chain".
-Provisional rating: system observer level."
In the short ten days since Aaron stepped into the oath, the entire soul system has experienced structural fluctuations for the first time because of him alone.
And the "Constructor Council" far away in the depths of the Central Language City has also quietly updated a special file:
Note: This individual language chain tends to evolve autonomously, please observe closely. If necessary, send the "Sentence Rule Writer" to intervene.
At this moment, Aaron is sitting in front of the rune corridor of the Shadow Mentor, thinking quietly.
In his mind, he is still replaying the confrontation with the "Negator". Every word and every fluctuation of his mind is constructing his new language logic.
He knows.
From now on, what he faced was no longer just trials and the academy system.
It was the entire soul world - the real core of this huge system interwoven with language, belief and destiny.
He stood up, looked up at the "Soul Tower" in the distance, and silently said in his heart:
"Next, I want to take back - my father's lost oath page."
"And, the hidden truth."
