Chapter 323 - Dao Heart (4) (2/2)

”Whoever's there, show yourself!” The Imperial Executioner shouted, his aura exploding outwards violently. This was not just a form of intimidation, but to alert the other experts of the Royal Capital.

”Sixteen years, I grew up here, I watched you grow, and I protected you. It's both miraculous and cruel.” The voice continued to resound as if it existed in all time.

Yan Zaizen's words startled all those on board and they looked at Yan Linzen, all their gazes were confused.

”Cruel? What...what do you mean?”

”You aren't just my sister...it's like...you're my daughter. Your mother and father were created from my memories, but are only false copies, but you, you were created from my own DNA, my soul source, and was a new existence. You're my sister, my daughter, my clone…”

Yan Zaizen's words further confused everyone of them, but Yan Linzen's eyes were wider than ever. It was as if, deep down, she knew his words were the truth. She didn't know how to feel…

”But, even if this world collapses, I, Yan Zaizen, will not abandon you. I'll show you our true mother, father, my wife who is your sister, and your step-mother. Will you follow me?” Yan Zaizen asked, his voice tinged with indescribable complexities, but a distinct warmth.

Yan Linzen was startled by all this, but she knew that in this world, only her brother was her 'true' family. Her mother and father were 'warm' and 'caring' but it always felt false somehow. However, the connection she felt to this brother of hers was genuine.

She didn't have to think long.

”Brother Zai, yes. But you must keep your promise.” She softly smiled, tears flowed down her eyes. These weren't tears of joy or sadness, but empty tears. They weren't fake, but it was brought about by the realization that the world around her might not be as she believed it to be.

Yan Zaizen smiled in reply, ”Good. I should be arriving in...3...2...1.” As he counted down, the hearts of all those who stood in confusion matched his rhythm.

A shadow flickered into existence in the direction Yan Linzen had been looking at. This shadow seemed to exist out of time for a single moment until all of it combined and time itself was corrected.

Yan Zaizen appeared, his mouth seemed to undergo the motions of his previous words in a flash, including the countdown, but it was inaudible and felt out of time. Then, it ended.

”A time remnant...truly fascinating. To exist ahead of time and outside of it. Spacetime is miraculously profound, especially chaotic spacetime.” Yan Zaizen commented in wonder. There were far too many abilities he possessed, so he didn't have the ability or time to always utilize them.

What he did wasn't traveling to the future or past, instead, he imposed his time signature ahead and interacted with the present. He essentially created a clone outside of the past or future, and within the present. However, that 'present' was his future.

It was a path he would and will take. As for why Yan Linzen could see his 'Path' visibly was because she and he were 'one' and they had the same signature, like being on the same frequency. It was miraculous beyond belief. This also confirmed Yan Zaizen's theory of who she was.

As for his words, if his form was in his 'present's future' then his words were in the 'present'. All those in hearing range of his Time Remnant could hear it. There were limitations such as forcing a ''path' of one's present self, and it lacked the essence of teleportation, but it worked as a message or avatar.

”Let's go.” Yan Zaizen smiled, but he turned towards the Royal Capital after he said that. He tapped his finger towards the capital.

Tap!

This tap seemed to touch the essence of souls. The Third and Fourth Prince died. Their souls snuffed out with a thought and tap.

His eyes narrowed. A figure appeared in his view of all space. A woman, a beautiful one who looked exactly like Ya Qinqan appeared, and she was laying on a bed with one of the prince's body on top of her, his eyes blank and his life ended.

”In my life, you were beneath my revenge. In this world, it remains the same.” Saying those words, he tapped out towards the Imperial Executioner and Envoy's direction. A deathly aura swept towards them, siphoned their entire cultivation in a gust.

They became mortals with a thought.

This gust of deathly aura didn't cease. It swept the entirety of the Royal Capital, taking all of their cultivation and resources in a few seconds.

”In this falsely crafted real world, I'll leave the Yan Clan a way out. After all, they were designed from my memories.” Recalling his mother, father, aunt, and uncle, he felt a tinge of pain. This was all he could do. With the collapse of the royal faction, this would remove the criminal status of the Yan Clan and enable their unrestrained future.

”Brother...Zai…?” Yan Linzen was the only one who was untouched, she was in disbelief at the events happening before her. Was her brother always this godly?

”I'll explain everything to you, but for now, rest. When you awaken, I'll let you see my wife and our true parents. I promise.” He turned towards her and warmly spoke. He approached her and gave her a hug. This hug contained unfathomable feelings.

”Okay...Brother Zai.” Yan Linzen, a ten year old girl, didn't reject or ask for more. She trusted her brother.

She lost consciousness in his arms.
