Chapter 2072. Hearts Dead, Already Forgotten (2/2)
These words echoed in Wang Lin’s mind, and the gaze of the bald man appeared clearly in his mind. Wang Lin could not understand it before, but, looking back now, he could clearly feel the pain and sorrow.
Wang Lin left with confusion and the answer he wasn’t willing to think about.
Qing Hong looked at where Wang Lin had gone and stood there for a long time. It wasn’t until the rain had disappeared that she opened her hands. The butterfly circled her a few times before flying off into the distance.
“When will you forget… Perhaps you would never choose this.” Qing Hong lowered her head and walked into her cave, lonely and crestfallen.
Wang Lin silently pondered.
“Reincarnation. When I unlocked the memories of the people in reincarnation, I didn’t wonder if I’m also in a reincarnation… If I’m really inside a reincarnation cycle, then who will unlock my memories?”When Wang Lin thought of this, he laughed and continued to laugh until tears fell.
“Reincarnation, this is reincarnation!! But even if I’m inside a reincarnation, I’ll never choose to forget, never!!”Wang Lin laughed. He suddenly thought of the figure that was roaring at the sky that he saw during his Ancient Dao Three Soul Splits.
The words from that figure echoed in his ears once more.
“Heaven and earth!!
“What’s the point of being at the top of the heavens and earth!?
“What’s the point of being worshiped by all!?!
“What’s the point of passing endless scriptures!?!
“If the world is like this, why not destroy it!?!
“If all life is like this, why not disappear!?!
“If the scriptures are like this, why not end it!?!
“Since it’s like this, I’ll use my own method to make the sky close its eyes, to make the earth sleep, to make the underworld river flow backwards, to make reincarnation stop, to make the world… no longer exist!!!”
Wang Lin muttered these words as they echoed in his ears. This voice grew louder and louder until the sky shook, the earth trembled, and a storm was set off on the Immortal Astral Continent.
At the celestial clan’s Eastern Continent, in the southwest part of the Lin Hua continent, there was a large city. This city looked like a giant beast laying there and gave off a majestic aura.
In a remote location of the city, there was a blacksmith shop. Business here was good enough for the family to live well. This was because the owner of the shop treated his work very seriously and had gained a good reputation over the years.
The master was a burly man who looked to be around 30 years ago. He was very strong and his upper body was exposed as he hammered the iron. Sounds of metal colliding came from the shop.
The backyard of the shop was where the family lived. The burly man had a beautiful wife and an eight-year-old daughter. The little girl was in the shop and didn’t mind the heat. She would often bring the man towels to wipe away the sweat.
Whenever that happened, the burly man would reveal a happy smile.
He was very satisfied with his current life. Although it was simple, he was very content with his lovely daughter and loving life. He wanted to do his best for his family, to make their lives better and his daughter’s future better.
In order to achieve this goal, he worked hard as a blacksmith and did everything seriously.
His life was simple, but there was a warmth he cherished. He had been born in this city and had a lot of playmates he had grown up with. Although they all had their own families, they would often drink together, laugh together, and recall the past together.
At night, when he was asleep, he would have a dream. In the dream, he swept across the world. He seemed to be a celestial emperor who led people to fight against his enemies.
In the dream, there was separation, blood, and sorrow. In the dream, he also had a daughter named Shuang… The same name as his current daughter.
However, this dream was not real. Whenever he woke up from the dream, he would look lost and look out the window at the night sky. His heart desired for everything in the dream, but when he looked at his sleeping wife and his eight-year-old daughter, who still didn’t dare to sleep alone, he would smile and forget everything about the dream.
If he had a choice, he would choose his own family and not the life in his dream.
He didn’t know that there was someone looking at him from the night sky as he looked at his family.
Wang Lin looked at the blacksmith’s family. He could feel Qing Lin’s happiness and satisfaction. Qing Lin was a Celestial Emperor in the cave world, and now he had been reincarnated as a mortal, but he had obtained happiness and warmth.
Wang Lin was very envious as he looked at Qin Lin, and after a long time, he left.
“Like Red Butterfly, his choice is to forget… forget the past, forget his previous life and become immersed in his current life, going through the cycle again and again and cherishing each time.
“Their choices are the right ones… My choice is also the right one!” Wang Lin muttered to himself.
