Chapter 441 - I Need You (2/2)

If one asked whether Yan Zaizen understood the word ”regret”, they would find out that he did, but he most certainly never experienced it. When he was younger, this was the case even then. He did all sorts of things for Ya Qinqan, lowering his status and worth to the world, yet he never felt an ounce of regret.

While, at that time, he was muddle-headed and simple, he still held these thoughts that regret was a meaningless feeling. If he wanted to change the past, then he would dedicate his life to being able to do so. If he died in failure, then he died.

He knew himself more than anyone else. Not only did he reach the Paragon Soul Realm, a realm defined by introspective comprehension of self, but he formed a Dao.

Shin Xuanji eyes grew hazy. Yan Zaizen's words seemed to contain a profound principle of self. As someone who similarly constructed a Sovereign's Dao, he felt as if there was something missing. Was it regret? Could regret be like sandbags tied to the ankles to a drowning mortal?

As he felt himself lost in thought, the two stopped. They had already left the capital at some point, their steps carried them an exceptional distance. Before them was a small-sized lake that reflected the moon. It was silver and resplendent. Such beauty.

”The world we live in is dangerous. Everyone seeks for betterment, struggling to reach the peak, or simply to be left in peace but I've always and merely only wanted to rule my own fate.” Yan Zaizen kneeled next to the lake, his fingers gently tracing its waters. The ripples formed seemed to affect every aspect of the lake.

Shin Xuanji's eyes regained its normalcy. He stood beside the lake, upright and strong. His silhouette reflected by the faint moonlight revealed a figure that had built his will step by step, corpse by corpse.

A bloody glow emanated from his eyes. Within that glow was a scene of countless men and women losing their lives, dying horrific and terrifying deaths in pursuit of all sorts of things...wealth...power...love…

They each seemed to embody the totality of Shin Xuanji's self. The Dao of Sovereign Slaughter. To rule the world, obtain it all, by eliminating all in his path.

”I want it all. I wanted it all. I must have it all.” His words were shifting along with his every thought. Then, a male figure entered the glow of his eyes. Out of all those deaths, this figure was the only one smiling and reaching out.

”Desire.” A voice echoed, ”All those who make the Sovereign's Dao has it. To an extreme. To control one's own fate, to have it all regardless of the cost, or to rule beside the one you love by never falling behind. It was insatiable, yet always far-reaching and elusive.”

Yan Zaizen and Shin Xuanji lifted their heads simultaneously. Their gazes looking at the silhouette within the moon's shadow. An imposing, impressive figure descended slowly.

”Wings?” Shin Xuanji frowned observing the figure. His dual-Heavenly Shrines and vital aura was primed to erupt at their greatest might. He felt a sense of shock and unease in his heart. This figure gave him an unfathomable feeling.

Yan Zaizen saw the two wings on its back. They were beautiful and silver, giving off faint radiance of their own. It seemed to contain a power reminiscent to the beginning of the world, yet a chaotic aura of its inevitable end.

Yan Zaizen's eyes became solemn and flashed interest, ”it's you.” His words were filled with all sorts of memories.

It was only then that the man's figure was fully revealed. A handsome face of the ages, with sharp brows, and bright eyes accompanied by a set of silver wings at his back. His physique was incredibly symmetrically perfect, with every muscle fiber and proportion reaching a pinnacle. This was the characteristics of a unique existence, a Herculean!

”Ezekiel Zatanna Saintora...what do you want?” Yan Zaizen asked, this old friend of his had returned.

Ezekiel responded with three words: ”I need you.”
