Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being

Chapter 646 - Shixiong, Thank You

Edited by Rose and Ea

Under the blazing sun, Lian Hua was covered in cold sweat, but frost hung on his eyebrows and eyelashes.

He knelt on that piece of the world’s hardest stone, strongly supporting his body so he didn’t lay on it like a dog in an extremely unsightly posture.

Next to the world’s hardest stone, there was also a big stone. This stone was very flat and wide, and was under a leafy dense ginkgo tree. It was an excellent place for sightseeing.

At this time, Yan Tianhen was sitting on that stone, with overcast green trees and a cool breeze.

Yan Tianhen watched Lian Hua’s depressed expression and with the feeling of schadenfreude, he said, “Hey, I really miss the taste of kneeling on the world’s hardest stone. Unfortunately, after I was expelled from the sect, I never had the chance again.”

Lian Hua was sulking and didn’t raise his head; he didn’t even glance at Yan Tianhen once.

Yan Tianhen grabbed a foxtail grass in his hand and said quickly, “Look at yourself. If you had been nicer to me, everything would have been alright. I wouldn’t have recovered my memories of being Yaoshan Lingyu, and you wouldn’t have had to suffer.”

When Lian Hua heard the name of Youshan Lingyu, he had a response. He glared at Yan Tianhen and said, “Stop looking like a smug villain. If you force me, worst comes to the worst, I’ll drag you down with me.”

“Shixiong, don’t scare me.” Yan Tianhen smiled and said, “If you dare to tell Dage, I will dare to let Dage recover all his memories as Chang Sheng.”

“You–” Lian Hua clenched his fist. He glared so hard his eye socket was about to split apart, as if his grief and resentment had reached its peak. He broke his silver tooth and said, “If you still have half of a human heart, thoroughly leave all the vile and disgusting things you did to him in your stomach! There is an agreement between you and me, neither of us are allowed to ever mention that matter!”

“Don’t be agitated.” Yan Tianhen felt that if he dared to say half a word of no, Lian Hua would jump up and beat him. He quickly said, “If you don’t betray me, I will of course keep my promise. Don’t worry, that period of his memories is not on him, it’s sealed well, he won’t know.”

Lian Hua snorted in a high-pitched voice.

Yan Tianhen jumped off the stone, walked in front of Lian Hua, and laid on the edge of the world’s hardest stone. Looking up at Lian Hua’s white face, he said, “Do you know how Dage found out that you were lying to him?”

Lian Hua originally didn’t want to pay attention to him, but this was important, so he asked, “Why?”

Yan Tianhen blinked and said, “I have one thing to discuss with you.”

Lian Hua: “&#k2026;Fuck off!”

Yan Tianhen said, “In order to prevent Dage from suspecting my identity, I decided to appear at the same time as Fu Zhu and Fu Zhu’s owner.”

Lian Hua sneered bitterly, seemingly laughing at his guilty conscience.

Yan Tianhen had thick skin and didn’t care. He also showed a pleasing smile and said, “Shixiong, you are so powerful. You are in charge of the entire Youshan Capital and all living beings here listen to you. Just help me this once. After you help me, then in the future let’s coexist peacefully, shall we?”

Lian Hua sneered. “What a joke, I am a disciple of the Spirit Sect, how can I associate with such a lowlife as you?”

Yan Tianhen was not annoyed. “Shixiong, the things of the past are in the past, and tens of thousands of years have passed outside. Do I still have to live bearing the karma of past lives even if I’ve already been reincarnated? Shixiong, everything has started again, and I am no longer that demonic being. I’ve already repaid what I owe the people, and I’ll use the rest of my life to repay what I owe Dage. I will not do bad things again, and I will concentrate on being good. Can’t this work?”

He already said he recognized his mistakes and wanted to reform for good, he already said he would lay down the butcher’s knife and repent.

Could it be that even if he changed, he still had to go forward carrying his guilt? This wasn’t fair.

He didn’t want it to be like that.

Lian Hua’s green eyes slowly became bloodshot.

“From the first time I saw you, I knew you were Youshan Lingyu.” Lian Hua’s voice was hoarse, which was quite different from the cold and graceful tone in Yan Tianhen’s memory, “But Chang Shen couldn’t see it, and even if Dao Zu stood here, he wouldn’t be able to see it either. Do you know why?”

Yan Tianhen shook his head, this question had been in his heart for a long time.

Lian Hua chuckled like he was crying and said, “Because they don’t hate you. Even in the end, when they died and were torn to shreds by you, they never hated you. Naturally, they can’t recognize your identity, but I–I am the one who hates you the most in the world. Let alone reincarnation, even if you repress your bones and raise your ashes, I can still see through who you are with a glance!”

The expression on Yan Tianhen’s face hardened.

He watched Lian Hua’s tears drip on top of the world’s hardest stone, and then silently put down his hands from under his chin.

“Why did you let Cang Rong die together with Xi He? Why didn’t you kill me together with them?” Lian Hua sobbed, clenched both his hands tightly into fists, and his voice shook. “Do you know how I survived these years? I wanted to die, but I didn’t dare die. I was afraid that once I died, Youshan Capital would completely become ruins. No one in the world would remember those who gave up their lives for the people.”

“Dao Zu died, Sheng Zhe died, my senior martial brothers, junior martial brothers were all dead. Even you, the main culprit, also died!” Lian Hua cried out, “For a long time I didn’t want to live. I wished I could die, but do you know why I survived until today?”

Yan Tianhen took out a handkerchief, handed it to Lian Hua, and said, “Dao Zu once said that in the Spirit Sect, you have the softest heart and firmest temperament.”

Lian Hua took the handkerchief and sharply threw it to the ground. He sucked his nose in hard, and said bitterly, “Because your original body was already dead, I extracted a new branch from it. I originally wanted to burn it to death, but I found that the branch was growing better and better. Later, I took out the blood cypress branch and raised it in the palace. It grew stronger and stronger, and it grew taller and came back alive completely.”

“Back then, I thought, if even the demonic blood cypress tree that had lost its sentience can revive, then those who have died might all be able to come back. It’s this thought that has kept me alive for so many years.”

Yan Tianhen suddenly realized something. He picked up his pathetic handkerchief, leaned over again, looked at Lian Hua with two big eyes, and said, “Actually, this is the real reason why you know that I am me, and you are lying to me by saying that you hate me to death.”

Lian Hua grabbed the handkerchief, blew his nose then threw it on the ground, and said, “Don’t flatter yourself.”

Yan Tianhen said with a smile, “The blood cypress tree is most afraid of spiritual Qi. If you don’t want the blood cypress to live, you could throw it directly into the sparrow spirit veins, and it would naturally wither and die. But you didn’t. The blood cypress has to initially absorb blood and demonic Qi for it to survive. You nourished my main body with your blood, so that is why you can see through my identity at a glance- Lian Hua Shixiong, half of my life was given by Dao Zu, and half was given by you. I took the Reincarnation Pill, even though I can be reincarnated, but if my main body died before I was reincarnated, I wouldn’t have been able to live either. Shixiong, thank you.”

Lian Hua’s expression was one in an awkward situation. He looked away. “I said it, don’t go sticking gold on your face.”

“The heavens are kind, people who are separated, can always meet again by chance.” Yan Tianhen shed a blood tear from his left eye. He pulled Lian Hua’s hand and pressed his right middle finger on the tear. He said, “Shixiong, there are many things that you don’t understand. In fact, you had already died. You were harmed by someone, and without knowing it, you became the ninth Pillar of Heaven between heaven and earth, which is the Pillar of Heaven that currently guards the Spirit Emperor and supports Youshan Capital.”

In that tear, there was a memory Yan Tianhen gave to Lian Hua. Lian Hua’s shaking body suddenly froze.

“Shixiong, before the start of the Great Immortal-Demon War, you had already died.”

“At that time, the original Pillar of Heaven collapsed, the demons and greedy people of the other big worlds took advantage of this opportunity to break into the Nine Lands and wanted to occupy our world. You were chosen by the orthodox Dao sects to become the new Pillar of Heaven. Sheng Zhe secretly took you away without Dao Zu’s permission and sent you into the sacrifice pool. When Dao Zu discovered it, it was already too late.”

“Later, Cang Rong used a forbidden technique to gamble against Heaven and forcefully pulled out your three souls and seven spirits that were originally sacrificed to heaven and earth. In order to prevent those people from following you, he directly sent your one soul and five spirits into reincarnation.”

“That year, Xi He pulled out the roots of the Jianmu tree and reshaped a body for you. Your one soul and one spirit entered that body, and your memory was incomplete, but this could be regarded as a revival. The remaining one soul and one spirit are inside the current Pillar of Heaven– after all, the sacrifice has already been started, so the pillar must still eat some sacrifices.”

“The sacrifice to the Pillar of Heaven has not been fully completed, so to this day, it has still failed to be completed. Afterwards, those monsters and invaders still followed that crack to invade the Nine Lands.”

“Shixiong, the Spirit Emperor originally wanted to complete the Dao companion ceremony with you, but he used a forbidden technique and suffered a backlash. As the Wood Keeper, he allowed Jianmu to cut off his roots while still alive and reshape a body for you. He has already committed the greatest evil that the Dao of Heaven could never allow.”

“Once the Dao companion ceremony is completed, you and him would share life and death and meet the wrath of heaven together.”

“It was the Spirit Emperor and Xi He who went against the Dao of Heaven’s rules together and failed the sacrifice to the Pillar of Heaven, causing the people of the Nine Lands to enter a miserable situation. Therefore, Jianmu was at the end of his ropes and had no other choice but to cut off all his roots, letting the Nine Lands completely cut off contact with other big words and making the Nine Lands a closed-off world. And Cong Rong naturally wanted to finish all the unfinished matters on behalf of Xi He.” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

Lian Hua’s face was covered with tears, and his entire body was shaking, crawling on top of the stone for punishment. Why did Cang Rong never tell him about these things?

Why until the end, did he still complain that Cang Rong’s heart only had Jianmu and the world, but never had him?

“Shixiong, you must live. You must not die, because your every thought is closely linked to this Pillar of Heaven. Only when you are alive can this Pillar of Heaven become a shield to support and protect the remaining one soul and one spirit of Jianmu and the Spirit Emperor.”

Lian Hua clung and pressed his head, and his mind almost burst from this memory.

In the chaos, Lian Hua stretched out his hand and tightly grabbed Yan Tianhen’s shoulder, taking a deep breath he asked, “Other than the one soul and one spirit they left here, what else did Cang Rong and Xi He say?”

“They also left their original flesh here.” Yan Tianhen held out his hand to wipe the tears on Lian Hua’s face, holding in his tears he smiled and said, “Youshan Capital has sparrow spirit veins underground, so as long as there is enough time, it would be able to nourish the souls that had already scattered and are drifting between heaven and earth. Your Pillar of Heaven has protected the souls of Cang Rong and Xi He between the two worlds. It has been millions of years in Youshan Capital’s time; this is long enough to let them recover.”
