I Chose You, You Decided Me
What appeared in front of Yang Jian was a star that wasn't particularly dazzling. It sparkled with crystalline light, but didn't seem all that conspicuous in the starry sky.
Its existence seemed dispensable, but without it, it felt like something was missing from the starry sky.
In short, this star gave him the feeling that it was very ordinary.
If the star hadn't explicitly said it was right in front of him, Yang Jian probably wouldn't have noticed it at all.
He glanced at the star that glowed faintly with purple light. It was obvious that it was the leader of the stars, and all the other stars had to give way to it.
Its light was always the most dazzling.
"Are you disappointed?"
A murmur sounded in his sea of consciousness, as if the star was very lonely.
Yang Jian, who'd been muttering to himself, hurriedly gathered his thoughts and shook his head at the star.
"No, why should I be disappointed? You saved my life, and I can't even thank you enough. How can I be disappointed?"
"Is that so? Then if I told you that I represent you, would you still respond so calmly?"
The star twinkled as if it were blinking.
Yang Jian blinked at the same frequency as the star, his brows raised slightly.
"Represent me?"
"The Emperor Star has manifested, and the Auxiliary Stars have descended. Those destined to follow the Emperor Star will have their own stars descend, and their future will be the same as theirs. You … are someone I've left behind, or rather, someone I've chosen.
The star continued to twinkle, and Yang Jian took everything into his mind with a dumbfounded expression.
The Emperor Star had manifested, and the Auxiliary Stars had descended.
Follow the Emperor Star, and be chosen by the star?
Yang Jian's brain capacity was limited, and he couldn't quite wrap his head around the situation. He didn't say anything, and kept replaying the star's words in his mind.
After a long while …
"Senior, what you're trying to say is … no, that's not right … I'm a bit confused. Please give me some time to sort things out."
Yang Jian thought he'd thought things through, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized something was off. He kept waving his hands and furrowing his brows, clearly trying to figure out what Xing Chen had told him.
"What's wrong with you? Just say it."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Yang Jian also knew that if he continued to think like this, it would only make his mind more chaotic. Since Xing Chen had offered to dispel his doubts, he didn't refuse. "What is the Imperial Star you mentioned just now?"
"Take a look at that star."
For some reason, the star didn't clearly point out which star it was, but Yang Jian clearly looked at the star that was flashing with purple light.
"It is the Emperor Star, the leader of the stars."
"I can tell."
Yang Jian nodded blankly. He had long since discovered the uniqueness of this star. When he flashed, the other stars did not dare to do so. It was obvious that he was the leader of this group of stars.
"It's opposite to the person chosen by the heavens. The person chosen by this star will definitely be the ruler of the world in the future."
"So powerful."
Yang Jian raised his eyebrows, but he kept muttering in his heart. Why didn't he choose this star? If it chose him, then wouldn't it be able to do whatever it wanted in the future?
In the future, he might even become the first seat of the Heavenly Court. He would go to the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches for a meeting every morning.
As for that monkey, he would definitely be crushed under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years … No, no, no, five million years.
"Achoo."
At that moment, the Great Sage landed on Mount Huaguo. Clad in battle armor, he looked at the monkeys in front of him and sneezed. He raised a hand to rub his nose, then ignored them.
"Children, follow me, Old Sun, to kill demons!"
As he thought about it, Yang Jian could not help but laugh out loud. He was especially pleased when he thought about how he had been suppressed by the Monkey King for five million years.
"Are you listening to me?"
"Senior, please speak."
Yang Jian wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said sternly.
"I've already told you about the Emperor Star, so let me tell you about the Auxiliary Stars. Look at those four stars!"
Yang Jian's gaze fell on the two stars next to the Emperor Star, as well as the two stars above the Big Dipper.
"Left Minister, Right Minister, Civil Star, Martial Star! These four stars were the Emperor Star's Four Great Auxiliary Stars. If ancient emperors were taken as examples, they would be existences on the level of prime ministers and generals. The person chosen by the four stars will also be the Emperor Star's closest helper in the future. "
"…"
Yang Jian's expression darkened.
It was one thing if he wasn't the Emperor Star, but now it looked like he wasn't even in the top echelon of the Emperor Star's side.
Damn it, if he wasn't the emperor's favorite, how was he supposed to survive in the future? If he was promoted to nobility, he wouldn't even have a share in the future. What the hell was he supposed to do then?
"Are you disappointed?" The star asked, a little forlornly. "I'm not one of the Emperor Star's Four Great Auxiliary Stars, but I chose you instead. Are you disappointed?"
"Mm … a little, I guess." Yang Jian thought for a moment, then scratched his head. "Senior, I'm not one to lie. Please don't take it to heart, but I am indeed a little disappointed."
"Is that so?"
Accompanied by the desolate voice transmission, the stars in front of him became increasingly dim.
Yang Jian raised an eyebrow when he saw this. He couldn't let this grandpa leave. If he did, he wouldn't even know how he died.
"Senior …"
"What is it?"
"I said I was a little disappointed, but I definitely didn't mean … How should I put it? I don't know how to put it, but I truly don't despise you, Senior."
Yang Jian's expression was urgent, but the star only grew brighter and brighter under his gaze.
"Is that so?"
"Senior, you really have a childish temper." Yang Jian laughed thoughtlessly when he saw the star light up. "As soon as I said I despise you, you pretended to lose all your light. And as soon as I said I didn't despise you, look at how bright you are! You're almost as bright as the Emperor Star. "
"I didn't decide how bright I should be," the star suddenly said. The star suddenly said, "From the very beginning, I have already said that I am you, and you are me. Since I've made my choice, I've placed my entire fate on you. When that time comes, I won't be the one who will shine, but you … "
"What?"
Yang Jian was dumbfounded. He … didn't understand.
"Everything I am comes from your faith in me. If you accept me, accept me, and have faith in me … then I'll shine. On the other hand, if you resist and reject me … then I'll disappear. The moment I used the power of the stars on you, you and I became an inseparable entity. Indeed, I chose you, and you chose me! "
Yang Jian muttered to himself. This time, he understood a little.
Thinking back to the past few times, if he'd resisted the star just a little, it would've dimmed. But just now, he'd been so eager to prevent it from disappearing that it'd become unusually bright.
Right now, they were truly one.
