Chapter 1301: Heavenly Rebirth Lake

Proofreader: Papatonks

Whoosh!

On a clear night, a falling star crossed the skies and fell in a bush. Once the light faded, it revealed a hazy human shape.

Where

Zhuo Fan looked around at the vegetation and quiet scenery. It felt like paradise, with not a trace of dirt marring its beauty. In the center of the meadow was a clear lake. The perfect surface instilled peace in him.

Zhuo Fan crouched and touched the water.

Hum~

A ripple spread through the clear lake and two people were reflected back.

One of them was a young master in white robes, eminent and elegant. The other was cruel in his features. As they played chess, they all had calm gazes, having already known how this game would end.

He knew who this was, the Heavenly Sovereign!

Zhuo Fan gasped, What is this place? The lake can monitor the Heavenly Sovereign? And he cant sense it? What is going on? The Sovereigns have sharp senses. Theyre connected to the world and will sense anyone looking at them

Little brother, you lose again.

The Heavenly Sovereigns reflection placed one last piece and declared to the other, This is your 99th round without a single win. Isnt this enough?

[Younger brother?]

[Did the Heavenly Sovereign have a younger brother? Didnt he call me like that as well? How come theres another? Or does he indulge in calling everyone that?]

[You call yourself a brother when youre killing the other with your bare hands?]

Zhuo Fan watched on.

The man in white smirked, shaking his hand, I accept my meager skill and defeat, ha-ha-ha

What meager? Reaching my stage and playing chess is a matter of skill?

The Heavenly Sovereign stood up, I play for the world, for the cosmos, enacting my path. We both comprehend the Heavenly Daos and I have reached the Sovereign Stage with it. Another eight have achieved their path as well. As the Heavenly Daos Sovereign, Ill be honest. I can feel the worlds laws, and there can only be ten Sovereigns. When will you achieve your path and take the last spot?

The man in white said, When it comes, it comes.

Humph, when it comes. Your path is corrupted from all the emotions and will never succeed. To achieve your path, you need to be like me and cast out all interferences.

Oh, elder brother, youre too dogmatic.

The man in white stood with a smile, Nine Serenities and the others have achieved their path despite all emotions, havent they? The Sovereign Stage has nothing to do with your emotions, ha-ha-ha

Enough of your fake smiles!

The Heavenly Sovereign glared and held his head high, Heaven is supreme while the earth is below. The Heavenly Daos are ultimate. We comprehend the Heavenly Daos and must be heartless. All the others comprehended human paths. Humans live on the ground, beneath the Heavenly Daos. The difficulty is like heaven and earth. We are chosen by the world to grasp the Heavenly Daos. Dont talk to me about those lowly Sovereigns!

The man in white was solemn, Elder brothers void path is mighty, but you mustnt deny the others paths. If the world were heartless, why would it contain all in creation? This proves its the people that do not understand the worlds love and emotions. The Heavenly Daos are not heartless, for that wouldnt be the Heavenly Daos. contemporary romance

Humph, contain all creation? In your dreams!

The Heavenly Sovereign mocked, First comes the world and then everything else. The world is everlasting, while everything else isnt. That means the world will always be here, operating by its own laws, while the beings within are merely props on stage. All beings depend on the world, while it is independent. The world is heartless, so stop trying to mingle the Heavenly Daos with humanity. This is why youre stuck in reaching your path.

The man in white stiffened, And what if heaven has emotion?

Impossible!

Im saying if.

Heaven with emotion means degeneracy. A world with emotions makes it no different from everything mundane and secular, unable to last forever. The Heavenly Sovereign spoke with conviction, One last reminder, theres only one Sovereign spot left. Better hurry up.

The Heavenly Sovereign left in a huff. The man in white hesitated.

Zhuo Fan frowned, The Heavenly Sovereign is my nemesis, but he has a point. The world is heartless. Choosing the Heavenly Daos yet still sticking to emotions will only drag you down. But theres someone with the hope of becoming Sovereign still around? To be regarded by the Heavenly Sovereign too Speaking of, is the little brother kin or is he a stepbrother? It has to be kin. If he started saying younger brother left and right like he did with me, hed have been sucked dry by now.

Zhuo Fan shook his head.

[What were they hinting at? What a strange way of talking. What do you mean one spot left? Havent all the spots been taken?]

You also believed the Heavenly Sovereigns words?

An aged voice came from behind.

Zhuo Fan flinched and saw a man covered in black with a gray beard approaching.

Zhuo Fan bowed at once, figuring the guy had to be some mighty expert coming in this mystery place.

The old man patted his shoulder to stop him, crouching by his side, Youngster, theres no need for that. Were all mere soul remnants that could vanish any day now. What does courtesy do for us at this point? Lets just see what the Heavenly Sovereign is up to, since thats the only thing we can do, ha-ha-ha

Uh, senior, you have a broad perspective, ha-ha-ha..

Zhuo Fans face twitched, sitting by the lake and watching on while his mind was abuzz.

[Who is this guy? Hes quite chatty too. Hed rather watch someone elses drama than look after his vanishing soul. I guess all dying people are chatty.]

[Oh, where am I anyway? Why can I see the Heavenly Sovereigns matters?]

Zhuo Fan cupped his hands, Senior, what is this place? Why is the Heavenly Sovereigns family drama conveyed?

You dont know? The man blinked.

Zhuo Fan shrugged, I just got here without knowing. A friend brought me.

Oh, I see. You must have some great fortune. This is not a place where anyone can just waltz in. Just by coming here you have a high chance of being reborn, so long as you let go of one thing.

What?

Your memories, emotions, and everything else

The old mans eyes shone, This is the Heavenly Rebirth Lake, offering hope for all broken souls that they might be reborn. Any and all that succeeded left behind everything so that they could go on, broken souls included.

[The Heavenly Rebirth Lake?]

Zhuo Fan looked around the quiet place, shouting, The Rebirth Sovereigns seat of enlightenment? Are you him, senior?

Ha-ha-ha, wrong. Im just another broken soul.

The old man smiled, The Rebirth Sovereign doesnt usually come here. All broken souls with deep feelings can leave the past and everything behind to be reborn. No Sovereign intervention required. It is our fortune.

Zhuo Fan turned to the giddy old man staring at the lake, Since thats all it takes, what are you still doing here? You also mention vanishing. Cant you be reborn?

Did you not hear me? Rebirthing comes with a condition, to leave everything behind. Some things are more important than my life and I would rather vanish than be reborn.

Zhuo Fan gave him a long look.

Zhuo Fans heart stirred, cupping his hands.

[People would rather be destroyed from this world than ever let go of some memories.]

Few were those that held something else more precious than their lives. Fewer still those he met, worthy of respect.

Zhuo Fan rose from his gesture and the old man showed a nasty grin, Besides, getting to see peoples drama is quite fun, better than the mundane world, he-he-he

Plop!

Zhuo Fan almost fell in the lake, his face twitching.

[Curses, its all because hes dying for gossip. Here I was thinking youre worthy of respect. Ugh, my poor heart]
