Night had already fallen and the afterglow of the sun could no longer be seen from the horizon. Only the bright bonfire at the peak of the Dragon Mountain and the flickering glow of the fireworks could be seen through the clouds. At this distance, the firelight should have been even brighter, but the clouds that shrouded the periphery of the Dragon Mountain had turned them into flickering fireflies. As for the other Dragon Mountains that were even further away, only a few glimmers of light could be seen. Every single Dragon Mountain that was hidden behind the clouds was holding a celebration. Even though some of them were muddle-headed and didn't know what they were celebrating, they were still celebrating in high spirits, as though this joyous occasion was going to last forever.
"Actually, it's pretty good for them to be like this." Elder sister stood in mid-air a kilometer away from the peak of the Dragon Mountain, looking at the illusory figures through the clouds. "After the Empire created them, they fell into a deep sleep. They didn't have any guidance or care for these man-made dragons. They were given a high level of intelligence and emotions, but they were thrown into an unfamiliar environment. It's actually not bad for them to be able to evolve to this state."
When I found my elder sister, she was standing in mid-air. That was the first thing she said after seeing me. It made me feel a little baffled. However, the two of us had been relying on each other for so many years, so we couldn't be more familiar with each other. Some of the baffling conversations were actually because we knew what the other was thinking, just like now.
"Elder sister, why are you lamenting about the old Empire's way of doing things again?" I smiled and went forward to hug my elder sister's arm.
"In the past, I was lamenting about the old Empire's irresponsible way of doing things. This time, I am lamenting about my irresponsible way of doing things. Your mentality has changed quite subtly." Elder sister looked at me lovingly and lightly flicked my forehead. "Why aren't you accompanying everyone anymore?"
"Didn't you also run away?" I curled my lips and looked in the direction of Dragon Mountain. Although there were clouds in the way and I couldn't see the scene on the other side clearly, the fireworks that I had set up were still able to shine brightly behind the clouds. "Sis, are you still conflicted?"
"A little," Elder sister said softly. Then, without warning, she leaned on my shoulder. "Ah Jun has grown up. Now, you can lend your shoulder to elder sister. You used to be so small. En, you were only this big." As the elder sister spoke, she gestured in front of her eyes about a foot or two in length. With a faint smile on her face, she said, "When I first picked you up, you seemed to be this big. You were wrapped in two blankets, lying in a small basket by the roadside like a wrapped dumpling. You didn't cry or make a fuss, and when you saw me, you opened your eyes wide as if you weren't abandoned, but temporarily waiting for someone in that state, and I was the person you were waiting for. At that time, your eyes were so bright, so bright that it was scary. It wasn't the eyes of a newborn child. However, elder sister wasn't afraid at all. Instead, I felt that I had to bring you back. I had to bring you back … "
"Elder sister …" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I looked at my elder sister who habitually fell into a state of reminiscence. Every time she reminisced about her childhood, she would be especially happy. In the end, I was the one who felt awkward by the side. The only thing I could be thankful for was that the two leaders of the mystical world, Icetis and Liliana, weren't by my side. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed until the end of the month. "How long ago was that? You were only five or six years old back then. How can you still remember so clearly?"
"Yeah, I am also curious. Why did I forget everything that happened when I was five or six years old, but I only remember the time when I picked you up?" Elder sister's voice sounded faint as though it came from a faraway place. "I even forgot what my parents said when they first met you. I only remember what I was thinking when I saw you: Bring him back, bring him back, I have to bring the child in front of me back … Why these three words? Why do I only remember these three words? "
"Elder sister?" I seemed to have realized something. I turned my head and held my elder sister's face to make her look at me. "What's wrong?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Elder sister's smile now looked more and more forced. "I just suddenly understood something that I have never understood before. When I first met you, I only thought that I had to bring the child in front of me back. I always thought that I had to bring you home. Now I finally understand … At that time, I wasn't thinking about bringing you home, but bringing you back …" Elder sister suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence. She looked at the shattered sky mountains in the distance and sighed softly.
"I'm sorry, I'm late …"
Looking at elder sister like this, I couldn't help but feel sad. At the same time, I suddenly understood, "Elder sister, could it be that … you remembered something?"
Elder sister's reaction was very strange. The expression on her face didn't seem to confirm or deny it. She seemed to want to nod, but in the end, it turned into a sigh. "It can't be considered as remembering. I can only say that I know what happened back then."
"I helped," Lin Xue suddenly appeared next to me. "I let elder sister Chen Qian see what happened back then."
Before I could open my mouth, Lin Xue immediately waved her hand. "I know what you want to say. It happened just now. Elder sister Chen Qian said that she wanted to find a place to relax, so she called me along. You also know that what happened today is equivalent to me, Shallow Shallow, and your elder sister getting involved. However, everyone knows that Shallow Shallow's character. I reckon that no matter what happens, she will live well unless you suddenly die. That's why your elder sister only called me along."
"Uh, I know about Shallow Shallow's situation." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Lin Xue's strange example. I reached out and pinched her nose. "I say, you guys … What happened? Why did my elder sister suddenly become like this? "
Lin Xue sat cross-legged in the air and pulled the two of us to sit next to her. This kind of experience of sitting and chatting in the clouds must be very novel and exciting for ordinary people. However, I was already a little used to it.
Elder sister seemed to have calmed down a little. She broke away from the "memories of my previous life". "I lost my composure just now. Don't worry — — I'm fine. I just borrowed Lin Xue's power to watch a movie. I don't know if it counts as recovering my memory. Those scenes … to me, it was like watching from the side."
"You borrowed Lin Xue's power to watch a movie?" My gaze fell on the missy next to me.
"I am a prophet. A prophet who can see through everything. It's not just for weather forecasting." The missy gave me a thumbs up. "You know, in addition to observing the future, I also have the ability to restore history. As long as it happened and left a historical carrier, I can restore it. For me, the soul is also a carrier. In fact, from the moment Sis Chen Qian held the command knife, part of her soul was activated. She had experienced those things and those things would inevitably leave traces in her soul. I don't believe that a powerful existence like Emperor Schilling's soul could be obliterated after a so-called "reincarnation" that didn't even have a shadow. Alleria could recognize your sister's soul, which means that Sis Chen Qian's soul is the original goods left behind by the emperor of the 15th heaven. Since the things are still there, then the original 'history' it has experienced must also be there. Just now, we fused our respective spiritual powers together and used my power as a guide. Sis Chen Qian used her own mind to look back and finally saw a little of what happened back then. Then, Sis Chen Qian was in a daze. She said that she needed to calm down until you came over. "
I listened to Lin Xue explain her method in a daze. My expression must have been dull because the missy suddenly kicked me gently. "Hey, blockhead, don't tell me you don't understand this?"
I reacted and nodded hurriedly. "I understand, I understand. But … you can still do this now? Didn't you say that the information from so long ago can't be restored at all? "
"That's right. In theory, there is a time limit for me to restore history. The stronger the interference, the lower the degree of restoration," Lin Xue nodded. "But in addition to this negative effect, I can also use the positive effect. The closer the information is to me, and the more the target is willing to look back, the easier it is to restore it. If I want to look back the experience of an enemy, there will be resistance. If I want to look back the experience of a stone, there will be no resistance. But if I want to look back the experience of Sis Chen Qian, because she took the initiative to open her soul, it will be a great help. Don't complain, help is not resistance. I know your stupid mouth. If you dare to joke about consonants and similar syllables, I will slap you! "
I broke into a cold sweat. "…" This girl really knows me too well now. Is this another kind of telepathy?
"And the records in the depths of Sis Chen Qian's soul are also closely related to me." Lin Xue suddenly sighed. Her whole person showed a rare quiet temperament. "You also know that I was present at that time. This is equivalent to looking back on my own experience. Of course, it will be much easier. And there is one more thing: Sis Chen Qian's soul has been activated. Those past experiences have already been active. It is actually not difficult to look back on them. In addition, there is a blockhead like you. You are a super information vortex. You are the key link that connects all of us together … You are really lucky. "
I didn't hear what she said at the end. I just looked at my sister curiously, "Sister, what did you see?"
My sister looked at me quietly and said softly, "When the old Empire was destroyed, you were already a newborn Void Creature. When the Fifteenth Heaven scanned you, it could even determine that you were not a remnant of the world but a life form that had not yet developed any interest in the Main Material Plane. This means that you were almost 'formed' at that time. According to the adjusted timeline of the New Empire, it was at least 70,000 years ago. However, you were only born in the form of a human more than 20 years ago. You only obtained the abilities that you were born with three to four years ago. Aren't you curious?"
I thought for a while and scratched my head, "Is it because I gave birth late?"
"70,000 years late?" The Missy kicked me lightly. "Your mother is mighty. I mean your Void Mother."
My sister didn't seem to want to keep me in suspense anymore. She simply said, "Because you resisted the final impact back then."
"What?" The silly smile on my face froze. I looked at my sister blankly. "The final impact? Was it the third time? "
"… That's why I often told you not to watch so many cartoons when you were young. Don't change the subject!" My sister's single-threaded brain was almost fooled by me. But when she saw the slight change in my expression, she immediately understood. "You've been using this trick for more than ten years. I'm already immune to it. You know what I'm talking about. Back then, when you were still ignorant, you resisted the huge impact of the abyss. That's how this broken place was preserved. At the same time, you protected the last batch of exiled fleets that escaped from the borders of the Empire. Alleria never understood why half of the Mother Planet would be completely annihilated in the Concept Separation Plan, but in the end, both parts were preserved. This is the reason: there were two to three impacts back then. The last and most fatal one was blocked by you. "
"Oh." I kept my face impassive. "And then?"
"You should have guessed it." My sister had a complicated expression on her face. She seemed to be trying hard to suppress the surging emotions in her heart. "I was the one who tricked you … I tricked you into resisting the impact and wanted to protect the Empire. But we didn't know that the theoretically powerful Void Creature could be weakened because it was still in its infancy … After you left the protective cradle, you were no longer invincible. The power of the abyss hurt you badly … I could only use my own soul to heal you, but Emperor Schilling's soul was not enough to make up for the loss of the Void Creature. I …"
"Sister Chen Qian, you're in a dilemma," Lin Xue suddenly interrupted and patted my shoulder. "Let me continue. Back then, you accidentally swallowed one-third of your sister's soul. Mm, maybe more. Anyway, you swallowed quite a lot. That's why your sister was the first Emperor, but her authority and part of the characteristics of her soul appeared on you. As a Void Creature, such a little bit of soul was enough for you to do a lot of things. You had already lost consciousness back then, so you instinctively reconstructed yourself according to the characteristics of your sister's soul. Fortunately, your sister was quite strong back then and wasn't completely swallowed. Otherwise, you wouldn't have a sister today. Moreover, you would have become a beautiful lady with long, straight, black hair, a single-threaded brain and a boob that's even bigger than mine … By the way, I was already dead back then. The above scene is from your sister's memoir. I, the prophet, am not responsible for the related derivative settings."
Lin Xue's joke seemed to have saved her sister a lot of awkwardness, but the latter didn't relax much. She lowered her head slightly as though she was suffering from great psychological pressure. Of course, I knew what was going on.
"So that's what happened." I chuckled. "Sister, are you sure that it was you?"
My sister lifted her head and looked at me in confusion.
"That was another person, the former Emperor of the fifteenth sky zone. You didn't know anything about her life at first. You only learned about her last moments before her death not too long ago, like watching a movie. To be honest, I think that as an Emperor, she did nothing wrong. The Empire's interests are paramount. For the sake of the race, she didn't hesitate to pay any price. It was quite in line with the three views of the Shiring Apostles. Although I was quite aggrieved that I almost died, didn't she save me in the end? " I held her sister's face and realized that a layer of mist had accumulated in her gentle big eyes. "Sister, are you crying?"
"No, I'm just about to cry." My sister rubbed her eyes hard. "Don't play word games. The Emperor and I are the same person. I can still distinguish this."
"Whatever. Anyway, I don't think you need to bear any psychological pressure because of this." I thought about it and realized that I really wouldn't feel angry about what my sister said. It might be because my memory was broken. No matter what happened to me back then, I felt as though I was looking at another person. It might also be because the Emperor realized that he had made a huge mistake and didn't hesitate to use his own soul to save him. If a person could do that, what else could I complain about? Moreover, I was standing here in one piece. My sister was still such a gentle sister, so there was even less to complain about.
But this was just my own opinion. For my sister, this was probably a hurdle. Even though she knew the reason and the logic behind it, she was still stubbornly unwilling to cross it. She stubbornly believed that she was no longer a good sister. She was even a sister who almost killed her younger brother. To her, this was the most fatal stain.
Although this stain was more or less like a mistake.
Lin Xue's gaze bounced back and forth between me and her sister. In the end, she sighed at the latter and said, "Sigh, Sister Chen Qian, you're usually such a strong person, but when you're facing this blockhead, you're full of weaknesses … Blockhead, let me tell you. Actually, your sister's psychological pressure is self-inflicted. I was there during the 'negotiation' back then. Do you still remember that I was a military liaison officer back then? From my point of view, the Emperor of the Fifteen Celestial didn't lie to you. After she explained the situation of the Abyss and the Empire to you, you took the initiative to make the decision to resist the impact. And how should I put it, back then, everyone who was present thought that the Void Creatures were invincible. With God Father as a living example, everyone thought that even if you were slightly weaker, you should have no problem facing the aftermath of the impact of the Abyss. It was just the aftermath, but it was already much weaker than the Mother of the Abyss in the hinterland of the Empire. That was why we … Yes, back then, we were confident enough to let you go. In the end, no one expected that you would have to leave your own protective layer to move. And after you left your protective layer and rushed to the front of the impact, you just 'Ah' and you died … "
After listening to Lin Xue's more detailed version of the history, I became silent. My sister couldn't help but squeeze my hand tightly as if she was trying to ease her nervousness. After remaining silent for a full ten seconds, I finally mustered up the courage to raise my head and look into her eyes. "Back then … did I really just 'Ah' and I just 'Ah' and I died?"
My sister: "…"
Lin Xue: "… Damn, you're still thinking about this?!"
I: "… Of course, don't you think it's embarrassing to 'Ah' when you fly across the tower?"
My sister looked at me as if I was a monster. "Alright, alright. Maybe you 'Ah' twice, or maybe you waited for a while before 'Ah' came out … No! You didn't know how to talk back then. That was just a way of saying things, and you bastard took it to the gutter! "
I smiled and looked at my sister. "Sis, you see, I really don't mind at all."
My sister looked at me in a daze for a long time. Finally, a familiar smile appeared on her face.
