Chapter 194 - The Truth Behind Wang Huang (1/2)
”So, what did you understand from all those texts?” asked the empress.
”Mind clearing,” Aryan replied in a single line.
”Good, though it has one more meaning, but your meaning is still fine.” After that, she told Aryan how the sage of illusions got frustrated and fed up with life and thought of a new way to heal his soul and mind.
Aryan already had a hunch about what was that way and what she was going to reveal. But even then he kept his quiet and kept on listening to her narration.
”You are guessing it right, Sen. Let me tell you what he did to heal his body and mind.”
”Mhm, please tell.”
At this point, his heart was already beating faster. He knew the answer; he had already guessed the answer, but he didn't want to believe it.
At last the empress broke the silence and told him the thing that he wanted to hear, ”It is as you have guessed. He unlocked the seal to the lower realms and took birth on earth as Wang Huang.”
Bdmp! Bdmp!! Bdmp~~~~!!
His heart began to beat faster and stopped at one point. It was hard on his part to digest the thing that he was listening from the empress.
His entire life as Wang Huang was a lie. A complete lie, and his life as Sen, the eighth sage also one of the knights of the yang emperor was a true!!
”Sigh~~” Aryan exhaled out a heavy breath and asked her for some water.
The empress waved her hand and brought a glass of water from somewhere. Aryan drank it in one go and began to run his forehead.
He was having a headache, a headache big enough to tear down his head from inside.
The twist of the story was unknown to him even then he wasn't aware it will bring him that much of a headache to him. After taking some time to rearrange his thoughts, he looked towards Yui and asked, ”So I am the Sage of Illusions, right? Tell me how can I make this power mine and how to revive my parents and the other peoples of the earth?”
”Mhm… For the very same reason, you have been sent here.” Empress commented.
”What? How?! Couldn't understand!!~”
”Telling, telling” added the empress and cleared the doubt that had been killing him from inside from the very first day after coming to the sage world.
She revealed that on that day when he went to space and used that artifact, his soul along with Yui's soul was sent to a nearby parallel dimension.
The purpose was to make him feel the illusionary powers that he had sealed himself and forgotten long ago. Upon listening to this one more question raised in Aryan's mind, and without any hesitation he asked it out, ”Then my real body is still floating in space, and here I am stuck with this Sen?”
”Yes, this world will have the same history as the original sage world, that happened trillions of years ago. After some years the dark side will try to attack it, and you will be the one who will save it from them.”
”Oh~~”
”Yes, the Sen of this world, I mean the sage of illusion of this world will be pretty stronger before that time, and will successfully save this world. It will follow the same history like that of the old one that happened trillions of years ago.”
”Oh~~”
”Then where was the problem? What was the problem?! I think I should have returned to the sage world after dying in that life as Wang Huang. Then why did I take birth as Aryan again?”
After hearing this question, the smile on Yui's face faded. Her face became gloom and somewhat serious.
Seeing the sudden change in her facial expression, Aryan became sure the real problem started from that point.
And as expected, this time too his hunch was right at the point. After staying quiet for some time, the empress told him the rest of the part.
Trillions of years ago when the Sage of Illusions, or known by the name Sen was leaving for the lower realms the Sage Empress of that time asked him to stop and stay there with them in the sage world. Not only he was a powerful ally, but he was also the lover of the empress.
