Realms In The Firmament

1875 – If Heaven has Emotions, Heaven is Also Old

Ye Xiao said, “I will remember the priceless advice you have given today.”

Although he was somewhat repelled by this old fogy from the bottom of his heart, he nevertheless wouldn’t reject words that made sense.

“Therefore, when Ye Geyin scattered his self to manipulate time and space to send you out, I didn’t prevent it. On the contrary...” Ye Hongchen said, ” I added many layers of protections, quite a lot in fact! Heaven has unexpected situations and a person can face disaster or good luck at any moment. I made many layers of preparations, even if it was one part hope!”

Ye Xiao knitted his brows. “En?”

Indifferently Ye Hongchen said, “One was a kind of life transmission secret technique. With the help of your father’s inherited essence blood, it would start life transmission if a violent death occurred by any chance. This type of technique protects the soul to come down and independently seize control of another body for rebirth.”

Ye Xiao ate a scare. “Unexpectedly, the turning point to my second life happened just this way!”

At that time, the three great sects had joined hands to besiege him in the Clear Sky Heaven Territory to kill him and scatter his soul. Instead, he disappeared and reincarnated in another Ye Xiao’s body...

Regarding this matter, Ye Xiao had always remained puzzled despite putting much thought into it.

Granted he had received the opportunity of the Mysterious Endless Space and the East Rising Purple Qi Divine Technique, but at the time of his rebirth he didn’t have either one of those. He should have lost his divine soul before.

Now he knew, the cause was unexpectedly here.

“This secret technique also couldn’t be put to use from nowhere, it had to draw support from a type of medium. Exactly... the bloodline ties between father and son, as well as the sincere emotions – the unrivalled deep love!” Ye Hongchen leisurely stated.

Ye Xiao felt a sour grief deep in his heart.

Ye Geyin...

That is my father’s name?

Ye Xiao gazed into the distance absentmindedly, seemingly seeing a vision of a youth covered in bloodstains from head to toe as he left, clutching an infant in swaddling clothes to his chest. This person was overflowing with murderous aura and hostility, and took giant strides into his sworn enemy’s courtyard.

With a burst of blade light and sword shadow, blood splashes everywhere. Each sworn enemy is chopped and killed, the main culprit facing an execution. He had to announce his enmity to the world, expressing his gratitude at achieving his vengeance! But what was the use, his loving wife had already died and his relatives were entirely gone. Even though he still had his son, his heart was already ash and he felt he had nothing left to live for.

Completely disheartened, he decided to put to use a heaven defying cultivation technique, using his life and origin essence blood to transfer everything to his young son’s body, voluntarily relinquishing everything to follow his beloved wife into death. With this, his extremely young son fell into the passages of time and space, to drift with the waves and go with the flow, prematurely setting foot on life’s journey alone.

He didn’t like, didn’t love his own child?

No, that he could do so much exactly showed how extremely much he cared.

What a pity, that because his wife and relatives were gone, as well as the Heaven Fate Fruit’s effects, he no longer had the vitality or the heart to keep on living. He would be a high end zombie and nothing more.

Although he loved his child deeply until the very end, perhaps his emotions and spirit had long followed his wife into the afterlife...

Finally, he decided that while he still had a heart, he would sacrifice himself and his undying body to send the child off...

Father and son bloodline, sincere emotions were continued in this way!

Father and son bloodline, unrivalled deep love!

Ye Xiao let out a deep breath, but still felt an oppressiveness in his heart.

But then, Ye Hongchen looked out into the distance, his expression visibly bleak.

Ye Xiao felt the words bubble up and could not help but angrily sound out, “You are the Ye Family ancestor. You have profound cultivation, a long life, you were truly in the position to interfere, but you just watched as the family was in the middle of tragedy again and again, as they argued and fought and massacred each other. You didn’t look, didn’t listen for what reason? This is how the Ye Family ancestor should be?”

Ye Hongchen faintly said, “Even if I step in to interfere, what would the conclusion be?”

Ye Xiao was immediately silent. He had experienced the hardships of travel in the Cold Sun Continent and had seen many powerful and influential family heads. Admittedly they would say to comply with the laws and demand the family to follow, but how can they truly interfere with popular opinion? Ye Xiao was always rational, and as he didn’t wish to suppress his conscience he remained temporarily speechless.

Ye Hongchen looked at Ye Xiao and coldly said, “It seems that you thought of it, it is in fact just this way. I can step in to interfere, to prevent further casualties, but what can really interfere with popular opinion? I have lived for a long time, according to the custom of the clan I have long endured the consecration of memorial tablets, endured being forgotten for tens of thousands of years...”

“If in every generation of the family the younger generation battles and I want to step in to interfere once each time...” Ye Hongchen had derision in his eyes. “You may know, in my expanding Ye Family, from the beginning until now... how many generations has it experienced?”

Ye Xiao was silent.

“Generally for secular aristocratic families, for the most part 20 years can produce one generation of people, even 50 years can produce 3 generations of inheritance. As we are a class of high cultivation family we can relax this time restriction. Generally speaking, 100 years produces one generation in inheritance and culture. In that way, up until now it has been at least 1378 generations of people!”

“Ye Xiao, do you know this saying?”

Ye Hongchen faintly said, “If Heaven has emotions, heaven is also old!”

Ye Xiao has no words he could say, no words to answer.

“I don’t have the talent to rule the world, nor do I have the ability. I am not as able to scheme as the five Sky Kings. It is barely feasible for the family clan to maintain a surface deep balance. If I took it seriously to interfere all the time, constantly interfering with words and speech... Like that, my mental state would have withered to dust a long time ago... But also how could I live up until now? Heaven’s Leaf never had a suitable successor. If I die... how can the Ye Family still be able to exist?”

Ye Hongchen coldly and faintly said, “Ye Xiao, I know you have blame in your heart, but you surely cannot have your father as the object of your hate. Your father made the biggest investment in you, even in having today’s you!”

Ye Xiao sneered. “Then you don’t also want to say that because you had a hand in that very day’s doings, that you have given me the opportunity to seize a body for rebirth, I should shed tears of gratitude for you?”

Ye Hongchen shook his head and laughed bitterly. “This old man’s organization, although not necessarily very big, doesn’t depend on the graciousness of a generation. There is no one who told you that your origin was in the Ye Family, even if you only see your father’s portion in it. This old man is merely revealing the layers of cause and effect and letting you know your family background, especially your father’s reasoning on that day, as well as the relationship between you and the Ye Family! But how do you not cherish what is done!”

“During these 100,000 years, this old man has passed too many Ye Family internal bloody tyrannies from a detached point of view. My heart has been cold, lonely, indifferent and ruthless. However, it was exactly this ruthlessness that guaranteed the Ye Family continued to this day with 100,000 years of safety!

“If you can take my burden...” Ye Hongchen seemed to have innumerable years flash past in his eyes as he softly stated, “This old man also values this body? Could it be that from beginning to end, 140,000 years of time is still not enough to live, eh?”
