My soul in the next life, he told me, how to open the legacy of the previous life in the consciousness, open his legacy in the next life in the soul, so that I can become stronger, and do things I no longer regret in this life.
With the two legacies from the previous life and the next life left behind, I quickly understood many things and learned many things.
These three lives are just reflections of a person through different periods of time, and as long as I go deep enough inside, I will be able to see the legacy engraved in it.
~
Combining a part of the law of time and the way of expanding the soul, my strength increased greatly, defeating the monsters in the area was a very easy matter.
Later, I found groups of survivors. Seeing them scared, weak but full of desire to live, I decided to take them in and teach them the fighting style that I had comprehended.
Time passed 50 years. The number of people we recruited continued to increase. The place we settled was almost as big as a castle, and our fighting power was not weak.
The next 50 years passed.
Sitting in the luxurious palace, looking at the dynasty I had built. Over the years, I continuously led people to destroy monsters, the territory continued to expand. Now, this place has become an extremely powerful force, capable of attacking and closing the space vortex in the center of the continent. Then all the monsters will be completely repelled.
50 years have passed, I have grown old. My power has reached an unprecedented height. It has long since surpassed the scope of martial arts, it is now something else. It is not absolute power, it is just emotions, the tiny vibrations of everything that exists in this world. But it will always be enough to do everything if there is someone who understands enough to guide it. Rebirth or destruction, it is now just a thought of mine.
Sitting on the throne, I witnessed the end of the monster era. Before my eyes is the warm, peaceful and prosperous life of the people beside me. They live happily, and now, nothing in this world can take that happiness away.
My dream, has come true.
But strangely, I wasn't happy... It was empty... What if I had great power, became a king of the whole world, was praised and loved by everyone... Everything was no longer peaceful like when I was with her. The void she left behind, nothing could fill it, no one... it disappeared forever with her.
My next life was right, that invisible hand manipulated everything.
In the past, I had the most important thing but didn't have enough strength to hold on. And now I have all the power in the world but I don't have her.
Could it be that combining the efforts of two lives couldn't change anything...
... Suddenly, I remembered the warning dream from the past and realized that something was wrong here. My next life gave me the power to do what I wanted, and my previous life, his power was related to time and his efforts would definitely not stop at a warning.
I saw a glimmer of hope for myself.
50 years passed, I passed my throne to the most suitable disciple. And I used that time to fully open up the legacy of my previous life. I saw what I would do and everything that my previous life could do if given enough power.
I knew that time was running out, I gathered all my power into a scroll, the Map of Power, and engraved it into my original self, so that it could appear in my first life. I would send a distress call to my previous life, for him to help me save her and also to help my past self complete his life.
I sent the Power Map to the place he designated, to the place where he first came into contact with the first opportunities. I protected him, and at the same time, I prevented any progress in his cultivation. I let him become a mortal at will. And when he realized the great path of time, he came to see me.
I told him everything about us (3 lifetimes), and hoped that he could save the love of my life, save her, put her in the Power Map and bring her to me..
But waiting for me, in the Power Map was only a line of text
- Sorry, I cannot interfere with your time. Face it.
I despaired... 50 years passed, I gradually calmed down. I accepted the pain, smiled at the happy memories. All the past moments were worth cherishing.
At the last moment of my life, I returned to the place where I was born. Everything was quiet because nothing mattered in my heart.
Everything was about to end.
I let my precious memories drift towards the earth and sky. Without memories to anchor, this body became empty and gradually disintegrated into dust like the final destination it had to go to.
I gathered all my purest power and engraved it into the Power Map. The battle was not over, but I was tired, hoping that the power I left behind would be useful.
I slowly closed my eyes.
...
Sensing the noise and chaos around me, I opened my eyes. 'Where is this?' I tried to sit up but my body was numb, I saw Leoric Emberfall looking at me and shouting something to everyone.
Touching the familiar face from the past, I whispered.
- I'm back. I've killed those monsters... Don't blame me.
I only saw Leoric Emberfall getting more scared and shouting louder.
- Quickly call the doctor here. The general fell off his horse, his brain was damaged.
I've been gone too long, this guy is rebellious.
Slapping his face, I loudly scolded him.
- Your head is injured.
Slowly sitting up, feeling my body sluggish, out of habit, I stretched and took a deep breath, a pleasant feeling flooded in. Immediately the strength in my body exploded, I regained full consciousness, my five senses opened to perceive the world around me.
I felt the 10,000-strong army of the past, the other side was the Sui army that I had fought against, the voices, the laughter, ... Everything was so real, not like a dream. Where am I?
I jumped up really high, I looked down at the sky and earth below with my own eyes.
Did I return to the past?
No. There was a problem with Crimson Vale. Crimson Vale had an extremely powerful illusion formation. And this formation was only aimed at me. But why? But if it was a dream, then what was this power?
Back to the camp
Looking at each of the generals under my command, they were all stunned, by my power.
Memories flooded back. This was the first day of fighting... If that future was true, then after 3 days, a monster disaster would descend.
Clearly feeling the delicate power network in my body, if I wanted to, I could instantly wipe out 10,000 enemy troops.
Hey. What the hell is going on?
Wait.
Returning to the capital, I saw in the palace, Xiao Hui was happily laughing and talking with the queen.
With a thought, the space around me moved and shortened the distance infinitely.
I was already in front of her.
Seeing a familiar figure, I went to hug her, feeling the scent, warmth, and softness from her body.
Xiao Hui was bewildered and surprised, she struggled to push me away.
- What are you doing! The queen is here..
Elara Vespera saw me suddenly appear here, strangely she was not surprised at all, but just stood there silently as if she had known.
After a short silence, she spoke.
- You must have reached the pinnacle of the realm.
I looked at her silently.
The Queen knelt down, earnestly saying.
- Please save this world from the monster disaster…
In a moment or just a thought, I let go, letting the royal aura that had been tempered through years of conquest overflow uncontrollably. Letting it overwhelm and crush everything around me under my feet in its bottomless rage. A majestic voice from an absolute position, like a lord holding the power of life and death over everything, a verdict was delivered straight to her.
- What do you know… and what have you done?
Elara Vespera trembled and collapsed but she still maintained her dignity and said everything clearly and distinctly.
She said that my next life came to tell her to do so. He also left a message saying
"Between reality and illusion, I would rather choose to suffer in illusion than live in cruel reality."
This is also the help he gave to the next life and in return he wanted her.
I regained my composure and took back what had gone too far.
'So it was my next life that took action. That's right, the formation in the Crimson Vale ... '
But?
- He wanted her? How could he have her?
She sat up straight but still knelt down and hesitantly answered.
- That every full moon night, you would lend him your body to come to me.
....
- So, every full moon night, you called me for this reason.
Elara Vespera nodded shyly.
...
- So, I was taken advantage of every full moon night... How could that be??
I looked at her... she looked back at me with an indifferent gaze that had no sense of guilt.
- How could you be so calm?
Elara Vespera looked at me and with an unreasonably calm attitude. She said
- The person beside me every night, although it is your body, but the soul belongs to someone else, so don't have any illusions.
...
... I was silent...
I looked at Xiao Hui beside me, she was gaping at us.
- Who will clear up this misunderstanding? But, why should I take the blame for him.. And how could he use my body to do 'that' to the person I swore to protect with all my heart.
...
How could he control me..
That legacy must be related, in my next life I left a legacy in my soul.
And on the night of the full moon, the soul will become the strongest. He can influence me through it.
But why did he have to do that? Is there a lack of beautiful girls in this world, that he had to do that to me.
But wait. According to those words, will he still come?
No way. I must stop this. What if he has bad intentions towards Xiao Hui?
I must confront and question him.
Look deep inside yourself, let yourself follow the vibrations of your soul and find the legacy of your next life that is engraved there.
I immediately felt a familiar yet extremely unusual presence inside me.
At this moment, outside of Noah's body, the space gradually became dim, the rhythm of the Dao enveloped, each movement gradually became slow, leisurely, as if following the heavens and earth.
In the soul space, I confronted my next life about why he took my body to do this.
But in response to that accusation, he only smiled and said.
- In my life, she is no longer there. I miss her so much. Only in your life, in the past, can she reappear. I have no other choice so I have to do this. And at first, she and you will not have any connection. So I just 'borrowed' your body. You understand
I...
He continued.
- I am also you, you are also me, there is not much difference between us.
The difference is, I am the main soul, and you are just on the path of power. But in the end, I am a part of the soul, you are the emotion, and the first life is consciousness.
She makes our souls peaceful, you can feel it too, right? Of course. Otherwise, you would not protect her like that. I also have a very good feeling for Xiao Hui.
Well, speaking of us, let's say that a person has multiple personalities. As long as you balance your emotions, reason, and soul, a special form will appear.
We will merge into one and all differences will be resolved.
That's also the first step to getting out of that hand.
Only you can do that.
Go back and make your own decision.
With that pervert's words, I was pushed out.
Outside, at some point, Elara Vespera, my beloved queen, had knelt down and hugged my legs. She pressed her body tightly against it, her eyes filled with anticipation, not noticing the people around her looking.
In a flash, I wanted to separate her, but suddenly my body seemed uncontrollable, as if two extremes had pulled me from two different directions without me knowing when.
I felt like I was in a state of contraction, immobilized between my soul, will, and emotions.
The pervert from the future had lied about giving me a choice. He had forced me or he had run out of time.
But whatever the reason. They were still me, but they were very different from me.
Unification? I had never feared myself. But if the past or future me had lost my way, I was willing to lead them back to the right path.
I had followed that pervert's words.
I let my mind go blank and drift along the indefiniteness of time. Immediately I felt a vague presence that seemed to not exist but existed within me. It seemed to exist only to me as an idea. It was strange but familiar. The will of a past life. It seemed to be condescending and sharing everything it knew with me.
I let my soul open the door and feel the presence of everything. I saw infinite vistas and a tapestry of rules that weaved everything together and I saw the pervert in the middle of them, between me and him, who was also opening the door and sharing with me his deepest secrets.
I stood between these two 'extremes', no longer willed, no longer myself, all that remained were the intense vibrations of emotions that had existed and would never change within me, like a current that penetrated and engulfed everything. Inside it, I envelop, nurture, balance and make all emotions sublimate in unity.
Suddenly a strange feeling appeared, I felt like I was living in 3 lives, 3 eras at the same time.
3 different eras, 3 lives, one being, 3 perspectives towards each other, suddenly everything gradually became clear and there was no longer any difference between them all, 3 people in 3 different eras and strangely similar.
..
Noah (of the simulation) stood between heaven and earth, feeling what he had become and what he could do.
He smiled and took a breath as if this was the first step to a new existence of his own.
Then, Noah bent down, one hand slowly lifted Elara Vespera up, the other hand hugged Xiao Hui into his arms.
In front of everyone, he was full of energy, he solemnly carried the two people into the room and closed the door. A moment later, a seductive moan echoed outside.
….
Noah looked at the two girls who were sleeping soundly. Gently shaking the space, he returned to the Great Sui camp, at the Grand Valorian, and immediately ended the 20-year war between the two factions.
He also found his missing older brother and younger brother. They were forced to join the Great Sui army.
He went to the two major sects, Eternal Sect and Immortal Sect, fought for a few rounds, and they were subdued by him.
After 3 days at the time of natural disasters and monsters, he easily dealt with them.
After that, he gradually unified all the sects and unified this realm.
Returning to the past to get Xiao Hui's 'first' and only time...
After completing everything, he was satisfied and lived a peaceful life, waiting for his plan to move to phase two.
