Lin Feng and Grand Luo sat opposite each other. Grand Luo seemed to be talking in his sleep as he recounted his experiences in the void battlefield, including what he knew after recovering the memories of his past life.
Silently listening, Lin Feng didn't interrupt. When Grand Luo finished, he looked at him uneasily. Only then did Lin Feng nod slightly and say, "Although I've guessed before that Youhuang Celestial Sea had another reason for choosing you to reincarnate so many times to get rid of the spirit sea mark, I've only verified it today."
Grand Luo's expression was a little blank and bitter. "Actually, even if I'm not the son of father and mother, I'm still a Youdu."
Lin Feng looked at him calmly and said unhurriedly, "When I took you as my disciple back then, it was indeed related to your birth. However, it was just a casual gesture back then. I didn't expect so many things to happen in the future. However, since we're fated to be master and disciple, I'll protect you."
"Before this, the memories of your previous life were incomplete. Although many things were out of your original intention at that time, now it seems that they have become a burden in your heart. In all fairness, I and our school are both beneficiaries, so it's not good for me to comment more. I can only say that no matter what path you want to take next, I will not oppose it."
Silently, Lin Feng looked at Grand Luo. "I won't force you to choose your own path. At the same time, no one else can force you either."
Grand Luo's gaze became clearer, and he bowed to Lin Feng. "Disciple thanks Teacher Lin. I don't regret what happened in the past, but now, I can't see my future path clearly."
He sighed. "I don't want to be enemies with the people of Youdu, but I don't want to be enemies with the human race and my sect even more. However, the situation on both sides makes me unable to deceive myself and others. I can't pretend that nothing has happened and stay out of it."
"If I want to join Youdu and become enemies with the sect and the Divine Land, I can't do it."
"However, no matter what the reason was, in the end, I had let down the expectations of father and mother, making their plans fail and harming the benefits of Youdu Clan."
"Today, I actually still have to thank Father and Mother for their creation and legacy. I am Luo Yao, but I am also Grand Overarching Youdu."
Determination appeared in the Zenith Heaven's eyes. He raised his head and looked at Lin Feng. "I will return this body of mine to the Youdu Clan."
Lin Feng looked at Grand Luo. He naturally knew that what Grand Luo meant by returning it to the Youdu Race was actually him committing suicide.
In particular, after experiencing this incident, the Origin Luo's conviction in this regard was even firmer.
Previously, the memories of his previous life had yet to recover, and he had never truly made things difficult for the Youdu Race.
But this time, in order to protect Wang Lin and Ning Wange, he fought a bloody battle with Cloud Rising Youdu and Ning Feng Youdu. Both sides fought with their swords and spears, and because of his protection, Wang Lin was able to gain enough time.
After Wang Lin came out of seclusion, he killed Ning Feng Youdu on the spot.
In order to protect Wang Lin, he blocked Ning Feng Youdu. However, when Ning Feng Youdu was killed by Wang Lin, he couldn't stand up.
At that time, Grand Luo had fallen into a coma due to his battle with Ning Feng Youdu, so he didn't know about it. However, when he woke up and found out what had happened, his originally conflicted emotions naturally became even heavier.
Lin Feng looked into Grand Luo's eyes, and within them, he could clearly see the determination.
"It's not just words, it's not impulsive, and it's not a test …" Seeing this, Lin Feng sighed in his heart.
It wasn't easy to survive in this world. There were all sorts of troubles, difficulties, and hardships.
It was the same for cultivators, let alone ordinary people. It was just that because they stood at different heights and were in different environments, the problems they faced were also different.
However, if a person wanted to die, it was all too easy, as long as they were truly determined to die.
There were countless ways for a person to die silently. Ending one's own life would not alarm anyone, and it would not be stopped by others. There would not be any accidents that would cause one's death.
Those who could make their own suicide known to the world and cause a sensation in the city would more or less still have a strong will to live in the depths of their hearts. They would subconsciously hope that someone could stop them, that someone could help them solve the problem that prevented them from continuing to live.
Or perhaps they were unwilling and had other requests in their hearts.
If one really wanted to end one's own life, as long as one's will to die was strong enough to suppress their fear of death, it would be a simple matter.
However, the Grand Luo before him didn't hope that Lin Feng could help him solve his problem.
Meeting his gaze, Lin Feng already knew what Grand Luo meant. Whatever he said was what he thought.
The reason why he was telling Lin Feng about it now was out of respect for Lin Feng, and he didn't want to deceive Lin Feng.
As for whether Lin Feng would stop him, it was not within the Grand Luo's consideration. As mentioned earlier, there were too many ways for a person who truly wanted to die to end their own life.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, had the ability to stop him. As long as Lin Feng was willing, he could restrict the Grand Luo's freedom at any time. However, that was not what Lin Feng wanted. A person who was determined to die would be nothing more than a walking corpse if he forcefully preserved his life.
"Your future path is yours to choose and decide for yourself. As long as it's not an impulsive decision and a choice you've made after careful consideration, I won't interfere." Lin Feng looked at the Grand Luo before him and smiled. "But before that, are you willing to join my sect and leave your name on the jade plate?"
The Grand Luo's breathing abruptly stopped, and he looked up at Lin Feng in shock.
Leaving his name on the jade plate meant that he would truly become Xuanmen Tianzong's disciple and become Lin Feng's personal disciple, and not his current nominal disciple.
Apart from being unknown within the sect, the Grand Luo's treatment in every other aspect was no different from personal disciples. Whether it was Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, or the others, none of them looked down on him.
However, if he became a formal personal disciple from nominal disciple, it would mean that his name would be known to the world.
With Lin Feng's current position, taking in a personal disciple would definitely shock and draw the attention of the entire Heaven Primal World.
With that, the Grand Luo's existence and background would naturally be known.
The Grand Luo looked at Lin Feng and said softly, "Master Lin, for the sect and you, I'm afraid …"
There was a faint smile on Lin Feng's face as he shook his head. "Actually, I've already prepared everything. I'm just waiting for you to recover your memories and identify your own path."
As he spoke, he swiped his palm across thin air, and a row of images appeared before the Grand Luo — it was a jade plate.
There was only one jade plate at the very top, with the word 'Ancestor' written on it. The Grand Luo knew that it represented Lin Feng.
And below the "Ancestor" jade tablet, there's a row of jade tablets side by side. From right to left, there's a total of nine tablets. The first eight tablets are all illusions, respectively writing "Yan", "Yi", "Ni", "Lan", "Ming", "Luo", "Che", "Huang", respectively representing Xiao Yan and the others. The original jade tablets are currently in their respective hands.
The ninth jade plate was not illusory, but solid, with the word 'Yao' written on it.
The Grand Luo looked at the jade plate, and for a moment, he was a little dazed. Before this battle in the void, his wish was to officially become Lin Feng's disciple.
Over the years, he was no different from an official disciple, but Lin Feng had never officially said anything. Only today did the Grand Luo know that in Lin Feng's heart, he had long been his disciple. However, he was still waiting for him to know everything in the past before he could make a decision.
Even if the Grand Luo wanted to leave Xuanmen Tianzong and return to the Youdu race, Lin Feng would not make things difficult for him.
Slowly, Lin Feng said, "In all fairness, I naturally don't wish for a good disciple to walk the path of suicide. There is no one in the world who can force my disciple to commit suicide."
"However, I'm not telling you this to make things difficult for you. It's just that you have the right to know these things."
"You don't have to care about what the outside world thinks. You just have to follow the choice in your heart. If you ultimately choose not to become my disciple, I won't spread the news for you, causing your people to criticize you even more after you die."
"As for you officially becoming my disciple, and the news spread to the world, you don't have to worry about the opinions and reactions of the other human cultivators in the Divine Land. Let them tell me."
Lin Feng's expression was indifferent as he looked at the Grand Luo calmly. The Grand Luo's emotions gradually calmed down, and his gaze became peaceful.
Slowly, he bowed to Lin Feng. "Disciple thanks Master for granting me my wish. I have no more regrets in this life."
Lin Feng's expression did not change, and he sighed softly. Before he spoke, he already knew that his words might not be a form of encouragement to the Grand Luo. Instead, it might make the Grand Luo have no more regrets, and his will would become firmer.
However, as mentioned before, the Grand Luo had the right to know these things. As someone who was deeply involved with the Grand Luo, he had no right to advise the Grand Luo on this matter.
It was not just him. Others such as Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and the others, as well as the Youdu Race, had no position to stand on this matter.
The affairs of the world were unpredictable, and the human world was full of misfortunes. The arrangements of the Youhuang Celestial Sea, the unexpected change in Moyunzi, the coincidental meeting of Lin Feng and the Grand Luo, the return of the Youdu Race to the Great Thousand Worlds …
All these coincidences had created the Grand Luo's current situation.
The Grand Luo's dilemma was closely related to his personality. If someone with a different personality was in the same situation, the outcome might be completely different.
The Grand Luo bowed to Lin Feng and said calmly, "Master, disciple is overjoyed to be able to learn from you. I have no more regrets. This is what disciple has always dreamed of."
"As for father and the Youdu Race, disciple will just return this body."
"Since disciple has already decided to return this body and spread the news to the world, please reconsider, Master. There's really no need to trouble you and the sect because of disciple. Disciple is satisfied with being able to leave my name on the jade token."
