Chapter 377 - Accepted (2/2)
Those words resounded like a thunderbolt to the mind. Yan Zaizen's eyes abruptly opened, flickering within was a strong determination. An unyielding faith..
”From now on, my path is the path I choose.” Recalling those words of his he had left behind on that day, Yan Zaizen realized the meaning of Eloah's words. Choices were a determinant of fate and free will, it embodied the essence of yourself and your future, including your past, and only existed in the present. Faith in your choices is not a flaw, but a strength.
”Fine, I accept. However, I'll only do it under two conditions,” Yan Zaizen decided to flip the script. Saphira was somewhat shocked. Didn't she just say she was willing to help him succeed his last trial, what more did he need? If he didn't trust her, he could simply decline. However, she waited patiently, curious about what he would say.
If he asked to help with all of his trials, she would have to decisively reject. If she interfered more than what fate allowed, it would alter his path and hers.
”First, I'll only do it after I finished my goal. That will take no more than a hundred years!” His goal of saving Pinaka was always at the forefront. The reason he felt indecisive had to be because of her. If he segregated a portion of his Soul Source at this moment, who knew if he could accomplish his task?
Saphira frowned. That condition was too much. He will definitely fail without her help, so how could she agree? If she did, wouldn't the entire purpose be rendered moot? She was about to firmly shake her head in refusal as there were reasons why that wouldn't work, but Yan Zaizen continued.
”Second, I'll take your Natal Force and the egg with me, and I'll raise my daughter! If you wish to see her, then you can come with me, but if this place really is a prison, then I'll shatter this prison. The moment I'm done with what needs to be done, I'll instill the Natal Force and my Soul Source into her.” Yan Zaizen coldly stated. He had no intention of leaving a child without a father, and he had no idea whether this woman would up and disappear.
That being said, even if her words were false, even if there was a nearly infinitely low percentage of a chance that she's right and he will fail, and if that meant his death, wouldn't Yan Linzen be raised with a father, mother, or even a brother? Wouldn't Pinaka, who had the utmost faith in him, be left in despair within literal Hell?
How could he not agree?!?!
Stunned speechless by his words, Saphira couldn't help but give Yan Zaizen an incredibly deep look. His declaration, if heard by others, would definitely be taken as a joke. However, this caused her words to tremble with significant waves of raw emotion.
”You're really willing...to shatter this prison?” She asked, her tone was fragile and delicate, as if hope had just emerged within her heart. A weakness seemed to emerge in her eyes as she gently rubbed her belly, a glimmer of wetness sprinkled her gaze.
Yan Zaizen firmly nodded, ”I lost my parents when I was young and I know how it feels to be raised without parents. I never want anyone associated with me, especially what could be considered a complicated parent-child relationship, to be subjected to that experience. I will give this child a proper upbringing and a mother. Its rightful mother, you, so of course I won't allow you to be imprisoned.”
Yan Linzen was too complicated to even factor in what she was, so Pinaka could easily take her as a daughter. This egg, however, was less complicated. It may have been borne by two beings, but she was asking for this lifeform to possess a literal portion of his soul. This made her his child by all means, and he will raise it with the love of a parent, just like he would Yan Linzen.
However, Saphira seemed unconcerned by his declaration to take responsibility, but seemed fixated on his words...she repeated, ”You're willing to shatter this prison, for a child...just to have two parents? Do you know the difficulty in this?”
Yan Zaizen shook his head. He didn't know. How could he? However, even if the Heavens, Gods, Immortals, Devils, and Immortals stood in his path to accomplishing a god, they would all be swept away!
”So, what do you say?” Yan Zaizen solemnly asked.
”YES!” Saphira jumped, her naked twin peaks sloshing about in happiness as her eyes glimmered with bright light. Her beauty at this moment was breathtaking to behold. ”Yes, yes, yes! Agreed! Yes!”
