Originally, I had planned for the previous chapter to be the end of I Am Not a Celestial, as well as the end of this book.
Some of the content at the end of the chapter was planned to be a continuation of the chapter. However, after some consideration, I decided to include it in the main text. Everyone, feel for yourself according to your own thoughts.

Wang Baole had not kowtowed to many people in his life. Other than his parents, his benefactors, and his Master …
However, at this moment, he kowtowed in the direction of the black-robed man. Tears flowed down his face as he kowtowed silently.
He did not know why he was crying. Clearly … he longed for freedom. Clearly … he longed for freedom. In fact, it could be said that from the day he was separated, he had been constantly planning to make himself completely independent.
When he had mastered the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, he had gone to the Gate to the Upper Realm. He had gone to the desert in the second level of the Universe Origin Dao Kong's world, which was where his real body was in seclusion.
For the first time, he had truly walked in front of his real body. Originally … he had wanted to make a deal with his real body.
He had willingly gone to the Upper Realm as his real body, risking his life and death. He had made up his mind to fight for a future for his real body. He could give up everything. He only hoped that once he succeeded, his real body would be able to sever his karma with him. From then on … he would be himself.
He would be able to control … the right to die.
Death was a great right. Only those who could control themselves could be considered free.
His true form didn't agree or reject Wang Baole's request. Instead, he suppressed Wang Baole amidst Wang Baole's confusion and transformed into four seals to imprison him.
Then, he removed the Six Desires Law from his body and left him in the seclusion grounds. His real body walked out of the desert …
Wang Baole was confused and did not understand. However, under the seals, his thoughts slowed down. In the end, he fell into a deep sleep. That was until … he heard someone calling his name. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his real body looking at him from the depths of the first level of the Universe Origin Dao Kong's world.
After hearing his real body's words, he felt a large amount of Qi, blood, and cultivation base enter his body after the seals were undone. He also felt the nourishment of his soul. All of this caused Wang Baole to tremble. Then … he heard that sentence.
"Wang Baole. This name is also given to you …"
This sentence was like a seal, like a seal.
A name was a mark of a person. In some races, it was like a true spirit. It came with the birth of a person and did not dissipate even after death … But in that instant, the name Wang Baole was stripped away by the main body and given to him.
The moment he received the name, Wang Baole … could finally be considered to be truly free and at ease.
At this moment, whether it was the black-robed man or the Monarch, there was no longer any karmic connection between him and the black-robed man. All of the bad things had been endured by the black-robed man, and all of the good things had been accepted by him.
Wang Baole should have been happy about something like that. Wasn't that what he had been hoping for?
However, at this moment, boundless sorrow rose in his heart.
Filled with grief, Wang Baole prostrated himself on the boulder, trembling. After an indeterminate amount of time … a sigh could be heard from behind him. A figure appeared next to him, and a warm hand was placed gently on his shoulder.
"Baole, he is a man worthy of respect."
"Don't disappoint his choice."
The voice was gentle and contained a hint of sadness. As Wang Baole turned around, he saw Wang Yiyi's father standing beside him.
"Senior …"
"Let's go back to the Immortal Astral Continent with me. Yiyi is still waiting for you, your senior apprentice brother is also waiting for you …" Wang Yiyi's father shook his head and walked into the distance.
On the boulder, Wang Baole pondered for a long time. He looked at where the black-robed man disappeared and let out a sigh. He followed Wang Yiyi's father and walked further and further away.
Time passed.
The river of time unknowingly flowed before Wang Baole's eyes. He followed Wang Yiyi's father back to the Immortal Astral Continent. The moment he stepped into the Immortal Astral Continent, he saw the person he had been waiting for … Wang Yiyi.
However … Facing the gentleness and surprise in Wang Yiyi's eyes, Wang Baole lowered his head and avoided her gaze. Even though someone had told him that time could change everything and heal everything …
But … for Wang Baole, this didn't seem to exist. After coming to the Immortal Astral Continent, he had unknowingly passed the first 30 years of his life.
During this 30 years of life, his cultivation had reached an incredible level due to him severing his karma with the black-robed man, inheriting the celestial will, and obtaining a complete soul and blood.
On the entire Immortal Astral Continent, aside from Wang Yiyi's father, no one knew what Wang Baole's cultivation level was. The story between him and his original body was a top secret, and very few people in the universe knew about it.
Everyone who knew about it remained silent.
Therefore, for 30 years, Wang Yiyi had been wondering why Wang Baole had distanced himself from her. However, she was not in a hurry, she was willing to wait.
Because his past and future were all with her.
She waited and waited. Even though the distance between them remained, and she didn't seem to get an answer, Wang Yiyi could tell … that Wang Baole had something on his mind. It was a heavy burden that made him seem … unhappy.
She didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only silently watch.
Wang Baole was indeed unhappy. As time passed, he thought he could slowly figure it out and accept it, but after decades, he still couldn't do it.
"Perhaps time is still too short …" Wang Baole muttered as he walked across the Immortal Astral Continent. He arrived at the city where his senior apprentice brother was and walked into … a small tavern.
He liked this place because his senior apprentice brother was here. Wang Baole had engraved his feelings for his senior apprentice brother into his soul.
He also liked this city because there was a small tavern here. Aside from rice wine, the tavern also had a cold soda. The boss called this soda Ice Spirit Water.
Wang Baole knew that this was not a coincidence. His senior apprentice brother had arranged this, and the taste of the Ice Spirit Water was the same as the taste of the Federation.
In this tavern, Wang Baole no longer drank rice wine but Ice Spirit Water … It was clearly not wine, but he would get drunk every time.
This time was the same.
Sitting at a table next to the street, Wang Baole looked outside and drank Ice Spirit Water. His vision gradually became hazy. It wasn't until night fell that a young man walked in and sat across from Wang Baole.
"Baole, over the years, I've asked you three times why you were so sad after coming back, but you didn't answer me." The young man took out a bottle of wine, took a sip, placed it on the table, and looked at Wang Baole.
This young man was his senior apprentice brother, Chen Qing.
Twenty years ago, he had recovered all of his memories.
Wang Baole silently pondered. After a while, he looked at Chen Qing with a complicated expression. After a long time, he suddenly spoke.
"If I say that I'm not your junior apprentice brother and that I'm not the real Wang Baole, then you …"
Chen Qing seriously said, "You are!"
"I don't know what happened to you, but my heart, my soul, my senses, and everything else is telling me that you are my junior apprentice brother!"
