Chapter 1357 1323: Ling Yi? Lin Yi.

You'ai Orphanage in Binhai City

"What is this?"

A kind old lady asked the caregiver holding a crying baby in front of her:

"Where did it come from?"

The caregiver girl looked at the child in her arms with sympathy and said:

"I found him at the doorstep."

She then handed over a crystal-clear jade token:

"This was by his side."

The old lady took the jade token and looked closely, only to see two small engraved characters on it:

"Ling Yi."

The old lady looked at the baby in the caregiver's arms in surprise:

"Is this his name?"

The caregiver girl looked at the kind old lady before her and said:

"Should we take him in?"

The question seemed to be a request, but the plea in her eyes could not be hidden.

The old lady asked:

"Are you sure he was abandoned by someone?"

The caregiver girl quickly replied:

"I waited nearby for a long time and searched the vicinity, but found no family."

"I think he was abandoned by ruthless parents, it's too cruel."

She said with an indignant expression on her face.

The old lady nodded and said:

"Then we'll keep him for now, and if someone comes to claim him, we'll deal with it then."

Just then the caregiver girl quickly asked:

"Should we also give him a name? Should it be Ling Yi?"

The old lady nodded in agreement:

"Yes, let's call him that."

"If no one claims him in a month, take him to register and update his records later."

The caregiver girl seemed to really like the baby she had only just seen, nodding excitedly:

"Alright, Director."

"I'll take him to Mama Yang to get him something to eat now."

The old lady smiled kindly:

"Go ahead."

…

"Ling Yi?"

In the Realm of the Endless, Lin Yi grasped the Divine·Xuanyuan Sword, once again immersed in the illusions unfolding before him.

There was a moment when Lin Yi even thought he might actually be the 'Ling Yi' from the illusion.

Because the orphanage Lin Yi had lived in was indeed called 'You'ai Orphanage.'

And the baby named 'Ling Yi' was not actually abandoned there.

It was, in fact, the principal soul transformation of the Heaven Clan Leader Ling Yi after self-destructing with the Master of Demons on the Deep Space Battlefield.

It felt like Lin Yi was personally witnessing everything as if he were there.

This was why it was so hard to believe.

However, Lin Yi recalled.

When he was five, a fierce fire suddenly broke out in the orphanage, reducing it to ashes.

The fortunate surviving Lin Yi was later taken in by a government shelter.

But strangely enough.

Lin Yi lost all his memories from before he was five after that incident.

Even things about 'You'ai Orphanage' were learned from others.

As for his name…

When Lin Yi was rescued, he came with an identity document.

The document clearly spelled out 'Lin Yi,' not 'Ling Yi.'

Thus, Lin Yi was convinced it was just a coincidence.

An illogical yet real coincidence.

He was not Ling Yi, nor was he the Heaven Clan Leader.

But if this were true, then who was he?

Where did he come from?

Who were his parents?

The illusion continued, and Lin Yi could only calm himself to seek the answers he wanted.

…

This time the scene in the illusion changed to a cozy room.

The caregiver girl who had found the baby was speaking to a middle-aged woman in uniform:

"This is the child."

The caregiver girl pointed at the familiar baby on the bed and said:

"This is a new child abandoned at our doorstep, already reported to the community."

She said, holding the adoption materials:

"This is the certificate issued by the community."

And then said:

"Since his biological parents still haven't been found, we've decided to register him under our orphanage."

"We will find a suitable foster family in the future and then transfer him."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman, after a brief look over the materials and finding no issues, took a blood sample from the baby.

Finally, on the registration form, she asked the caregiver girl:

"What is this child's name?"

The caregiver girl blurted out:

"Ling Yi."

However, what the woman heard was:

"Is it Lin with two trees?"

The caregiver girl instinctively wanted to correct her: 'No.'

But the words changed to:

"Yes!"

"Lin with two trees."

After saying that, the girl looked at the baby apologetically, though her lively eyes still showed affection for the baby.

The woman gave the caregiver girl a curious look:

"Is he the same last name as you?"

Though she was supposed to check the detailed information on the registration materials at this point.

Because the registered name there was: 'Ling Yi.'

Yet, due to a long-standing casualness and trust in the girl before her, the woman entered the surname 'Lin' in the baby's information column.

"And what about the character for yì?"

The girl pondered for a moment:

"Yì as in tranquility."

"We all hope he can have a tranquil life."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi, witnessing everything before him, felt a shock like a bolt of lightning, and once again released the Divine·Xuanyuan Sword.

Staggering back in disbelief.

"Lin Yi!"

Lin Yi looked at the suspended longsword in disbelief, thinking:

"How can this be?"

He still couldn't believe it, that he might be the reincarnation of the Heaven Clan Leader?

In fact, his name should be Ling Yi, not Lin Yi, which he had grown accustomed to.

Lin Yi was temporarily unable to accept such a truth:

"Ling Yi, Lin Yi!"

"So this is how my name came to be."

Lin Yi shook his head with a bitter smile:

"Is this the answer I'm looking for?"

If he really were the reincarnation of Ling Yi, then all the unusual occurrences in his life could be explained.

Why did the Great Elder of the Elf Race suddenly reveal the heritage of 'Kalsa' to him;

Why did the City Lord of White Tiger City, when he was still a newbie, want to hurry to marry off his daughter to him and unreservedly give him the [World Tree Branch], this Demigod Artifact.

And why did many natives treat him with much more enthusiasm than an ordinary player?

It seemed the key to all this lay in his unique identity.

The Heaven Clan Leader, the only Tenth Transformation Supreme God (Lv100) on the Rafam Continent…

Because with just any of these identities, he could walk sideways in Rafam.

If everything was as he suspected, Lin Yi had another question in his heart, which was:

How did they recognize 'him'?

And what about his repeated rebirths?

This also made Lin Yi think about the man and woman he encountered in the Nine Netherworld at the beginning…

Could they be his birth parents?

As Lin Yi looked at the floating Divine Sword Xuanyuan, it seemed all the answers lay here.

After gathering his thoughts, Lin Yi slowly approached once more, wanting to finally understand completely:

"Who am I!"

…
