63 Foundation Complete (1/2)
Beside Qin Yu's grave, the red-robed figure's eyes glimmered as Ye Yuyan completed his poem. As Ye Yuyan said the line ”A young swallow no longer.” the silhouette suddenly twitched.
”You stand within your own graveyard, the sacrifices of two lives in its entirety.” Qin Yu chided ”All you can say is that you have outgrown your youth?!?”
From beside Ye Yanrui's grave, the white-robed figure moved to approach Ye Yuyan and with a genial tone he suggested to Qin Yu: ”Your words are too harsh on the ears... but they have a point.”
”In my lifetime, you followed that woman and what did it lead to?” Ye Yanrui added, ”This dead world is all we have left to show for our love.”
In Ye Yanrui's life, The Immortal Ye showed power surpassing Rank 6 and easily defeated him. Ye Yanrui grew desperate to kill him, so he exploded his demonic core and created an Uncanny Valley on the Ye family grounds. Because of this, the Ye clan left their ancestral grounds and went off to the Phoenix capital.
”Was that simply youth?” Ye Yanrui wistfully commented
Qin Yu pointed his finger at Ye Yanrui as he argued: ”You were always such a sentimentalist, their love was just puppy love. All that's left to ask is if it's over.”
When Ye Yuyan came back to life as Qin Yu, he had one goal and that was to resurrect his wife at any cost. His heart grew colder and crueler as he journeyed through the lands in search of power.
Ye Yanrui tightened his fight as he bellowed in response: ”Is it over for you?!? Is it over for me? We both remain here, undying for eternity for her fate.”
Qin Yu angrily pointed at Ye Yanrui and bellowed: ”Her blood was on your hands! You're the one that was too weak to save her, too weak to even avenge her!”
”That may be... but...” Ye Yanrui tried to retort but Ye Yuyan interrupted him.
”Enough of this.” Ye Yuyan coldly chided as the power of the demon emanated off him. The intimidating demonic presence fed into his cold gaze, making Qin Yu and Ye Yanrui go silent.
”I want neither of your choices.” Ye Yuyan continued ”The path I pursue will be clear soon.”
The two figures silently stared at Ye Yuyan and flickered out of existence. As Qin Yu disappeared he coldly stared at Ye Yuyan with his scorching red eyes and with a low whisper, he coldly retorted: ”The Verulyim king was right until you pick your path, you will achieve nothing.”
Ye Yuyan closed his eyes and focused in on his thoughts. His eyelids fluttered rapidly as thousands of thoughts passed through his mind.
The silhouettes he conversed with were snapshots of himself from ancient times. This entire matter originated from one mistake, falling in love with the white lotus. There were also mistakes in his next life, such as making a deal with the Bearer of Adversity.
All these choices and mistakes came from a deep desire to revive the person he loved the most. His love for Song Qian is a complicated hate and love relationship that spans eons.
”Song Qian brought me to the immortal and demonic paths. We grew Nobility in her presence only to fall when she left.” Ye Yuyan softly answered Qin Yu and Ye Yanrui even though they had disappeared.
In this world, there are 3000 small worlds that surround the great world of earth. Each small world represents a dao and lives and dies with its users. Some small worlds collapse and some are born but there will always be 3000 worlds.
The 5 elements, Water, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Wood form the 3000 worlds. Everything in the universe has different balances of the 5 elements and that comes from the 4 transformations, Rain and Wind, Thunder and Lightning. The 4 transformations change the 5 elements into many forms refine Heaven and Earth.
This balancing of elements and energies comes from the one fundamental Heavenly Power, Yin, and Yang. The Heavenly Dao has three forms, The power of Yin, The power of Yang, and The Law of Kings. Yin is the darkness and Yang is the light but the Law of Kings is something else entirely. These three make up the Heavenly Dao in its entirety.
Ye Yuyan opened his eyes with renewed confidence and continued: ”Ye is our blood, of Qin and Yu we are Yu, and only Yan remains. I named myself Ye Yuyan as I weed out the old and bring forth the new.”
”Soon I will show you the truth. The truth to all our desires hopes and wishes. That truth lies in Heavenly Power!” Ye Yuyan chanted as deep darkness enveloped his left eye and lightning crackled in his right eye.
