📖 Chapter 1078 - Familial Love!

02 Sep, 2023

After briefly being in a daze, Chen Han quickly looked at Wang Baole. He was already ready for this pervert to ask him the same thing as the last two times.

According to Chen Han’s knowledge, Wang Baole was the kind of person who absolutely loved intruding on other people’s privacy and listening to their secrets. Moreover, in this eighth past life, Chen Han considered himself gifted to a certain extent, so he wasn’t all that opposed to bragging to Wang Baole. But even after waiting for a long time, Wang Baole didn’t say anything, making Chen Han feel a little stifled.

Finding that Wang Baole still didn’t speak after waiting a while more, Chen Han hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to speak up himself.

“Daddy!”

“What’s up?” Wang Baole raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Han.

“I woke up.”

“I know.” Wang Baole had obviously noticed Chen Han’s awakening. But now that he’d resolved himself, he no longer cared about whatever had happened in the world of the page. Instead, he was immersed in his improved enlightenment of Ebbing Time.

However, the fact that he wasn’t pressing for details made Chen Han’s heart itch. After holding himself back for a while more, Chen Han cleared his throat and proactively spoke about his past life.

“Daddy, my past life this time was very special. You’ll never be able to guess what kind of world it was. In fact, even I myself only just realized that… it was a world of creation. And in that world, I was different from everyone else!”

Wang Baole completely ignored Chen Han. Closing his eyes, he continued to immerse himself in Ebbing Time.

Seeing that his words were ineffective, Chen Han blinked and continued speaking.

“Ah, I forgot that you were there too, so it’s normal that you aren’t surprised. But, Daddy, I bet you don’t know how unique and talented I was. Whenever my fellows saw me, they would all react with shock, horror, and awe.

“It’s just too bad that my spiritual wisdom hadn’t fully awakened in that life. If it were the current me, I would definitely have used my talent and uniqueness to lead all my people. I would be able to command the entire world, and…”

“One long and one short?” Wang Baole felt that Chen Han’s words were a little bothersome, so he interjected with a little impatience in his tone.

His words were nothing special, but when they fell into Chen Han’s ears, they were like the rumbles of heavenly thunder. Chen Han’s mind buzzed, and his eyes were full of unprecedented shock.

‘Impossible, absolutely impossible!

‘How does this freak know everything!?’

Once was fine, and twice could still be reluctantly accepted, but this was the third time that the truth of his past life was revealed in a single sentence. Chen Han was instantly struck speechless, staring at Wang Baole as if he’d seen a ghost.

It wasn’t until an incense stick’s worth of time passed that Chen Han exhaled a shaky breath, but his mind was still spinning with endless wonder. He really didn’t understand how Wang Baole knew everything about his past lives, as if he had seen them with his very own eyes.

Wang Baole’s figure became more and more mysterious in Chen Han’s vision, even turning into fear. However, Chen Han was still a Chosen, as well as an old soul who had rebirthed and recultivated many times. He quickly discovered that… something was wrong here. But no matter what, he would never have imagined that Wang Baole could form a connection between their souls and peek in on his past lives, so his first thought was that Wang Baole must have had a unique identity in the worlds of the past!

“I understand now! Daddy, in the world where I was a butterfly, you must have been the giant tree!” Chen Han suddenly blurted out. The moment he did so, he saw that Wang Baole’s expression seemed to shift slightly, making him even more certain of his conjecture. But then a terrible thought appeared in his mind. His eyes bugged out, and he gasped in horror.

“In the mushroom world, you… you were the witch beyond the sky!! You were actually the witch!!!” Chen Han’s heart pounded like crazy, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was correct. Meanwhile, Wang Baole’s dark expression, as if someone had exposed his deepest secret, only added to Chen Han’s certainty.

Chen Han suddenly felt a little nauseous, and he was also awash with despair. He remembered how he had shouted about marrying the witch and reaching the pinnacle of mushroom life. No wonder Wang Baole had wanted to teach him a lesson afterward, no wonder…

“And in the world of creation, you… I get it. You must have been that brush!!”

“Shut up! You’re the brush!” Wang Baole glared at Chen Han impatiently, asking himself why this guy had become so strange. He had seemed quite normal back when they were fighting…

‘Could it be that he was forced to self-detonate too many times? That’s why he turned stupid?’ Wang Baole looked at Chen Han, wondering if he should just let this guy regenerate his body already. But Wang Baole’s glance made Chen Han inhale sharply. To him, Wang Baole’s impatience was a sign of anger due to embarrassment, making him more and more sure of his speculation.

‘Sure enough, he really is a freak. No wonder he could be the white deer who smashed through the universe. This guy… he’s not on the same level as me at all. I, I, I… I was actually created by him! So that’s it… no wonder this guy wanted me to call him Daddy!!’ The more Chen Han thought about it, the more shocked he became, especially when his thoughts arrived at this last point.

He felt that he had finally understood everything. He was immediately filled with a deep reverence, as well as… a feeling that it was only logical to call Wang Baole “Daddy”. But when he thought about how he had been created by the person in front of him, his gaze turned slightly strange.

And this strange gaze made Wang Baole feel indescribably uncomfortable. In the end, Chen Han seemed to figure something out, and the gaze he turned on Wang Baole was no longer strange but rather full of admiration, making Wang Baole feel that something wasn’t right.

Thus, he shot Chen Han a ruthless glare and decided not to let him regenerate his body. He was worried that if Chen Han regained his body parts and self-detonated any more, he would end up really turning into an idiot.

But it had to be said that Chen Han’s antics made Wang Baole gradually recover from his previous shock. At some point, his mood had relaxed quite a bit, so although Chen Han seemed a bit silly, Wang Baole thought that having such a silly ‘son’ was still good. After thinking for a moment, he spoke in a more amiable tone.

“There are two more days before the end of the trial. What are your plans for after the birthday celebration?”

“Little Han will go with Daddy. From now on, Little Han will never leave Daddy’s side!” Chen Han spoke as if Wang Baole had asked an obvious question. After a moment of thought, he added another few sentences.

“But Daddy, I think that before we leave… we should go find my other brothers and sisters. After all, Daddy, you gave birth to them, so we should let them know the importance of familial love!”

Wang Baole was speechless.

“I’ve thought it through. Our family is just too big. In this life, I should do my best to let as many of my brothers and sisters as possible return to Daddy’s embrace. Sigh, thinking about it now, everything is connected by karma, and my fate had been set in stone long ago.” The more Chen Han spoke, the more emotional he became. Wang Baole couldn’t help but feel shocked.

He could see that Chen Han’s words came straight from the heart. Even Wang Baole felt a bit embarrassed as he heard such words, but at that moment… the aged voice echoed once again in the minds of the trial takers.

"Ninth day, ninth life!"

In an instant, the fog all around them turned into a vortex, and Wang Baole’s consciousness sank into the past. Just like last time, he soon lost consciousness, and severe pain swiftly emerged in him. It was even deeper and more painful than last time.

It seemed that in this life, whatever injury had befallen him was still fresh. Not only was his body wracked with agonizing pain, his soul itself seemed to have been ripped apart. Even his thoughts were unable to form a cohesive whole. Countless memory fragments rapidly flashed past his mind.

Almost all of the fragments were so incomplete that it was impossible to tell what was in them. There were also some fragments that were relatively complete, but they were obscured by some mysterious force that made it impossible to see their contents clearly…

Among the innumerable memory fragments, there were only seven or eight fragments which were viewable. Wang Baole quickly scanned them. In each of the fragments, he saw… the figure of a blood-red centipede!

Wang Baole had already forgotten who he was, but as soon as he saw the blood-colored centipede, his consciousness fluctuated violently. It was as if there was some conflict between that memory fragment and the memories he knew. As the conflict grew more intense, his mind rumbled, and his body trembled. Finally, breathing heavily, Wang Baole… suddenly opened his eyes!

His surroundings were filled with fog. He was no longer in his past life, but Planet Heaven’s Mandate.

‘That scene just now…’ Waves battered at Wang Baole’s heart. But before he could think back to what had just happened, a surprised voice echoed out from beside him.

“Daddy, what’s up? You didn’t have a ninth life either?”

Wang Baole was startled by the voice. When he looked up, he saw Chen Han’s head floating there, his light of guidance rapidly dissipating. From the somewhat helpless expression on his face, it was obvious that Chen Han had failed to enter his ninth past life!
