Chapter 1393 - sMission” (1/2)

“He Ling,” Yun Che started slowly. His eyes turned deep as his mind turned calm, “If you had had the opportunity to witness my whole life, you would realize that I’m like a walking disaster. No matter where I go, obstacles and disasters always trail my footsteps unendingly.”

He Ling, “Ah?”

“Even after I’d experienced a death and lost all of my powers, disaster still wouldn’t stop knocking on my door.”

“This all began when I first received the Evil God’s inheritance when I was sixteen,” Yun Che said honestly. “For the past few years, every Divine Spirit thathad given me their divine powers has reminded me more than once that the Evil God’s power wasn’t the only thing I inherited, that I had inherited the ‘mission’ he left behind as well. In other words, I had obtained a power that is unlike anything else in the world, but in exchange I must bear a responsibility that is equal to that power as well.”

“...” He Ling couldn’t understand what he was saying.

“Although I memorized everything they said, I had never really treated them seriously in my subconscious. In fact, I had even thought their comments to be a little ridiculous.”

“Shen Xi asked me a question back when I first arrived at the Forbidden Land of Samsara: if I can fulfill a wish right away, what would that be? At the time, my answer had disappointed her greatly, and she spent the entire year trying to tell me through various way that I, bearer of the one and only Creation God power in the entire world, must use it to surpass all other living things.”

“To that end, she had even… erm, stressed Senior Dragon Monarch’s adoration of her and asked me to surpass him as well.”

“Master… have you understood Master Shen Xi’s words then?” He Ling asked softly.

“No,” Yun Che shook his head in reply, “but I have found my reason, and I have fully figured out everything I wanted to figure out.”

“Power is such an important thing in life,” Yun Che’s eyes turned dark and unreadable, “Without power, I can’t protect myself or anyone around me. Without power, even a couple of worms who weren’t worthy of being my opponents since back then could drive me into a dead end, and even bring harm to Xin’er… Phew.”

He exhaled deeply after saying that.

Yun Che clenched his teeth slightly and frowned a little when he recalled those four profound practitioners… Now that he had calmed down, he suddenly realized that he had no idea what they were called, where they came from, or how they came to be Blue Pole Star at all!

It was bad enough that he hadn’t searched their souls with the Profound Handle Soul Search, but he hadn’t even checked if a soul crystal was embedded in their minds… Thankfully, he hadn’t detected any unusual soul activity when they died, or the resulting consequences could only be described as severe.

Sigh… as far as he could recall, this was the first time he had lost control of himself so thoroughly.

“The powers I possess are simply too special. Not only do countless people desire them, their very existence is a source of unpredictable tribulations of fate. Therefore, the only way to prevent all this from happening again is to become the one who stands at the top of the world, the one who dictates all of the rules… just like how I stood at the top of this continent back then. The only difference is that this time, I must stand at the top of the God Realm as well.”

Yun Che smiled when he saw He Ling’s shaking pupils, “This may just be a delusion to another person, but to me… It is something that’s within my reach. And I must reach it. I never want to suffer what I had to suffer today ever again! That alone is all the reason I need!”

“Then… are you going to head back to the God Realm and cultivate at Master Shen Xi’s place?” He Ling asked. It was because Shen Xi’s place was safe, and she was the fastest way for Yun Che to achieve his goal in her opinion.

“No,” But Yun Che shook her head yet again, “The reason I have to go back… is because I must complete the ‘mission’ that came with my power.”

“Mission? What mission?” He Ling asked.

“Although I only have an inkling about the truth right now, I’m sure someone will tell me about it when I return to the Eastern Divine Region.” The Ice Phoenix girl at the bottom of the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake flashed across Yun Che’s mind before he looked eastward… in the distant east, the red starlight flashing in the distant sky was more glaring than everything else around it.

Some time ago, it was just a flash that occasionally appeared in the sky. But now, it was a permanent fixture in the sky be it day or night.

“There is one more thing that I must inform you of,” Yun Che continued as his eyes turned a little misty, “Xin’er wasn’t the only one who played a part in restoring my strength. He Lin helped as well.”

“Ah?” He Ling froze, “You mean… Lin’er?”

“The Phoenix Spirit tried to use the Evil God divine aura residing inside Xin’er’s profound veins to awaken my dead Evil God Profound Veins, but it had failed despite a successful operation. So the Evil God divine aura didn’t awaken my profound veins… but it awoke the Royal Wood Spirit Orb that He Lin gave me.”

“...” He Ling’s lips parted as her pupils eyes trembled violently.

“The Wood Spirit Race is the creation of the ancient Creation Goddess of Life Li Suo, and the life energy residing inside a Royal Wood Spirit Orb originated from profound light energy. When its life energy was unleashed, it echoed with my Divine Miracle of Life and caused it to become active. The Divine Miracle of Life is precisely why my profound veins reawakened.”

The Phoenix Spirit once said that the Evil God's Profound Veins were the profound veins of a Creation God. It was such a high level existence that the only thing that could awaken them was another power at an equal level… and by that, it was referring to the last Evil God divine aura in the entire world residing inside Yun Wuxin’s profound veins.

However, the Phoenix Spirit didn’t know that Yun Che possessed another power of the Creation God, the Divine Miracle of Life.

Light profound energy was something that attached itself to a being’s profound veins and life. The Divine Miracle of Life possessed the same quality. That was why it had healed Yun Che’s injuries and awakened his slumbering profound veins after the Royal Wood Spirit Orb had triggered it to life.
