122 Who Am I?
IN THE END, the fight ended between the two and Yang Lujia simply sent Long Guang to the outside world for him to ascend to the higher realm. He then left him alone in the wilderness on his own.
Long Guang had somehow become proficient in speaking, like something awakened inside of him. It was a mystery yet to be solved.
However, that was none of his business. If Long Guang wanted to tell him how it became so, he would wait for that moment. Pretty much repetitive but his thoughts were like pushing him to believe that what happened to Long Guang was for the good of himself.
“Never mind, I’ll be able to figure it out very soon,” Yang Lujia said. “Alas, the ten-year-old kid had now had the mind of an adult. It was the least I could say. As for his growth, I don’t know for sure how far he can go. But I am sure that from here onward, he can manage.”
Following the month after Feng Huang completely refined the Flower of Opposite Poles, her bloodline had awakened. However, it was unknown what bloodline it was. But he could feel that it was strong.
With the intention of leaving, Feng Huang thought of bringing her back to the Nether Universe, more specifically to the spatial passage whose other end was the Asura Prison; it was a passage Yang Lujia never thought of closing..
After all, there were no issues about the Asura Prison invading here. Unless there were some territorial bastards who wanted more territory than they already had, then it would really be possible. However, it wasn’t his thing to play like a hero, so it was better to leave it be.
Seeing her leave, he did not have anything in mind. However, he had given her quite a lot of things to protect herself. At least that was what a master should do.
Being shitty for no reason at all would once again make him appear stupid. But those protections were just there for her to keep her life. It wasn’t entirely for the purpose of making her alive even when faced with a very strong opponent. She might be able to cross levels in terms of her cultivation prowess, given that her bloodline had awakened along with her special body—but that wouldn’t be enough assurance to preserve her life whenever danger ensues.
And what Yang Lujia wondered most was after Feng Huang became a Saint. Her eyes had his instincts screaming that she was someone who knew him for a long time. It was just like how abrupt was Long Guang’s changes.
He then shook his head. “No matter, I’ll learn everything about them in the future. If Lin Diyu were here, he should have the same changes as them, I guess.” As he looked at the closing passage, his eyes were as calm and deep as the ocean. “I wonder what kind of journey awaits me after all the fuss that I made. At least, now, I have realized—”
[Ding! Conditions are met for the system to upgrade! Child of Pan Gu’s luck is plundered and will immediately fuse with the system after the host confirms permission to upgrade!]
“Just like before, it was the same golden light that came out of Lin Fan’s body,” Yang Lujia mumbled. “Never mind.”
[Ding! Will the host upgrade the system?]
“Yes,” he replied. “I don’t know what will happen after the upgrade, but I am somewhat looking forward to it. The system, since I had become stronger, had become very boring. I hope there’ll be a decent upgrade then.”
[Ding! Reminding the host that the system will enter into hibernation for two months for the upgrade! Upgrading…]
“It was two days before, now it’s two months,” he thought. “I don’t understand the existence of this system, but it seemed to be the thing that was most likely the thing I must be wary of.”
Yang Lujia then settled everyone into the world he made for Long Guang. When they saw this world, they were in awe as they had never seen such a beautiful world in the past. No buildings, grandiose establishments, or death aura. The smell was unreasonably pleasant to them but was nonetheless good for making them feel warm, free, and secured.
“I really didn’t expect that you’re this strong all along. It was so embarrassing for me to think that I could defeat you back then. I apologize for my brash behavior—”
“The daughter of the City Palace Lord…” Yang Lujia mumbled as he looked up at the bright skies within Long Guang’s world. “Apology is only asked for people you have wronged. You have never wronged me.”
On the other hand, Xia Jiali was fidgeting with his fingers behind her. After knowing that Yang Lujia was an expert stronger than his father, he knew he was screwed. Back then, he even reprimanded such an expert during the Welcoming Banquet to protect the so-called noble status and dignity of their family.
“Uhm… senior… before… I…”
“It’s alright,” Yang Lujia said before Xia Jiali could even utter a single word. “The ignorant can be forgiven, but a pretentiously stupid person cannot be. But although I am stronger than all of you, Xia Jiali, you are a promising young man; you can just call me brother then. That’s how we first met. We will not change anything. After all, I am still technically 15 years old.”
That was right.
He was still 15 and he had still yet a lot of things to learn in this world. His soul age, along with his memories, might be something that could affect him greatly—but those memories were only for the modern world.
“Here, it was different. When you have the strength to fight, you can win. There, when you have the power and wealth in the palm of your hands, you can win. Other than that, those memories were just memories of my life on Earth. It’s got nothing to do with the current Yang Lujia that I am now.”
“Yes, brother!” Xia Jiali somehow eased up after seeing the smile on Yang Lujia’s face.
“You’ve earned quite a strong friend there, little brother. It seems like I am still lacking compared to you,” Xia Jieke interfered jokingly as he joined in the conversation.
“Ah?!” Xia Jiali almost jumped in fright. “You’re… you’re here, big… big brother?”
“I’ve been here all the time,” he replied. “After all, father told me to keep an eye on you two. You both oftentimes get yourself into trouble. Hahaha!”
Xia Hua remained nonchalant as she hugged her sheathed saber, paving its way in between her breasts. On the other hand, Xia Jiali was so bothered by his big brother’s grin.
This somewhat fascinated Yang Lujia and just smiled at this sight. ‘What a rare sight. I wonder… if I ever had a simple family back then, would I have been nurtured differently? Would I become who I am now?”
But whether it was his previous life on Earth or his life in the past 15 years in Da Sishen, besides the fact that he was a powerful and influential figure, he questioned himself at certain times.
“Truly, who am I?”
