Capítulo 1291: Chapter 35: True Identity
After Zhou Yan helped Liu Yunxia and the others to gather and bury the bodies, he silently found a dried patch of elevated ground and sat down.
The ground was covered in blackened and withered weeds, mottled and shabby. The rusted and parched earth seed to be soaked with blood, dark and hard.
Zhou Yan’s gaze was fixed on the ground, and he remained silent for a long ti.
Slaying nine demonized Heavenly Hearts was indeed a good thing, but the death of so well-connected Heavenly Hearts was truly unsettling.
Although Zhou Yan knew that life and death were happening all the ti, he couldn’t deny the unease in his heart, even if his personality had changed sowhat. He wouldn’t deliberately hide or obscure these emotions.
“Every battle carries a heavy result, whether victory or defeat—of course, if defeated, perhaps there’s not even a heavy result, only endless darkness and eternal desolation.”
Hua Ru Xi walked over, sat close to Zhou Yan, and spoke softly.
A faint fragrance wafted over, and Zhou Yan felt a sweet scent perate his spirit, carrying a chill and yet a kind of fiery passion.
This was Hua Ru Xi’s own temperant, accompanied by the fragrance of her body.
Zhou Yan took a gentle breath, then nodded and said, “This is the reality after the Nine Origin Reincarnation. Any growth requires honing, and the degree of honing is indeed the foundation for the path ahead. To face a stubborn illness, heavy dicine is necessary. There’s no other way. It’s better than everyone becoming enslaved puppets in the future. The death of so people, in exchange for the transformation and evolution of the entire race, then the path to Perfection is indeed necessary.”
“Nonetheless, feeling sad is unavoidable.”
“Acceptance doesn’t equate to approval.”
Zhou Yan pondered for a mont and spoke these words.
“Yes, indeed. In such a situation, as you said, if it continues like this, what mood and ability would one have to nurture the next generation? If not, it’s to have everyone evolve to the end on such a foundation? In this way, it’s probably very difficult.”
“This probability of death, in the end, might allow only ten thousand people to survive in this Heaven and Earth?”
“And even if the probability increases, what’s the use for the vast Emperor Star with so many survivors?”
“Having mass without quantity is likely also difficult.”
Hua Ru Xi had many thoughts; she originally wouldn’t have discussed these with Zhou Yan, but now, knowing Zhou Yan’s identity, there was nothing not to say.
“Perhaps, it’s not just about mass, but indeed about quantity. Demon Heart people may not be Demon Heart people for life. Heavenly Hearts may not be Heavenly Hearts for life.”
“Also, perhaps unknown dangers, unknown life forms in the endless starry sky will infiltrate.
Once they enter the range of the Ancestor Dragon Emperor Star, they will inevitably be suppressed by the Immortal Rules here.
Suppressed by the rules, what existence or force grows from it, whether it will yield to our combat power and integrate or secede, is hard to say.
But no matter what, once they reside within the Ancestor Dragon Emperor Star, they beco mbers of the Emperor Star. When it cos to a starry sky war, even if they are Heavenly Heart people, Demon Heart people, or other life forms, they will certainly unite.
However, this situation may not occur, or it may happen in the distant future, by which ti we might have beco so decayed that we’ve long been forgotten.
Perhaps we have already beco Immortal and eternal powerhouses.”
Zhou Yan spoke so words of analysis.
These analytical words touched Hua Ru Xi.
Yet, this seed to be an extrely likely unfolding scenario.
However, those are indeed matters of a distant future, not greatly related to the current situation.
“Zhou Yan, do you really think I’m good? Or, do you really like soone like ?”
Hua Ru Xi thought for a mont and suddenly asked.
“Well… of course, big sister, why would you ask that?”
Zhou Yan, on the contrary, was a bit surprised.
He had thought about using soul power to sense Hua Ru Xi’s thoughts but seeing her sowhat weary appearance, he refrained.
This was the most basic respect for Hua Ru Xi.
“If so, in the future, when you beco a Summoned, possess the qualification for a Domain, I will serve as your maid, as long as you value .”
Hua Ru Xi softly transmitted her voice.
She hadn’t spoken these words out loud.
Zhou Yan’s heart gave a slight jolt.
He felt that perhaps things were becoming more complex, that perhaps Hua Ru Xi knew sothing about his identity.
“You… Could it be that you know sothing? About my identity, you know?”
Zhou Yan knew, with Hua Ru Xi’s insight, once she spotted clues, she would definitely know a thing or two.
These things may be disguised to others, but before this woman, they couldn’t be hidden at all.
“Ye Sha Divine Dynasty, Silent Annihilation Ancestor Star. Princess Yilan’s female general, Hua Ru Xi, has t Senior Zhou Yan.”
Hua Ru Xi suddenly conveyed a sentence at this mont. Her words were respectful, but she did not kneel.
However, her soul power had already displayed an extrely respectful state.
“Hmm? You are actually soone by Yilan’s side… Yilan’s person, no wonder you know of my existence. But I rember, back then she didn’t have a female general by her side, rather there were a few little girls… Are you the little girl who liked to wear a purple princess dress? The one who fell during cultivation and was helped up by … Little girl Yixue?”
Zhou Yan recalled the past. In the past, he had made a na for himself at Ye Sha Divine Dynasty using his abilities in arrays and artifact refining.
Princess Yilan of the Ye Sha Divine Dynasty was accepted as a disciple by Zhou Yan precisely because of her gentle nature and keen mind.
However, Zhou Yan had sowhat concealed his identity at the ti. Although eventually everyone knew the truth, the relationship was sowhat awkward at the ti.
Nevertheless, Zhou Yan could never forget Yilan’s kindness towards him.
Furthermore, this disciple with her keen intellect possessed excellent talent. At that ti, Zhou Yan held nothing back and taught her a lot of knowledge.
Thinking back now, indeed, there’s a sense of the passage of ti.
“Yes, I am that Yixue, sir, I never imagined it was truly you; before this, Yixue couldn’t be certain…”
Hua Ru Xi smiled bitterly.
“Follow in the future. If Yilan is around, she would indeed have the qualifications to beco a Summoned. At that ti, I might reorganize a power, bringing all my friends together, everyone working together to progress. If we can be together for a day, it is a day; a year, it is a year. Even if it ans dying, one would die without regrets.”
“Sir, Yixue is willing to serve you…”
Hua Ru Xi was sowhat delighted, with tears of excitent even appearing in her eyes. However, she hid this well.
Of course, she also knew the current environnt was special; these matters could not be shown. Since Zhou Yan had concealed his identity and abilities, she could not reveal anything about him.
Therefore, she deliberately concealed everything.
“Sir—”
“Call Zhou Yan, after all, the past is the past. Haven’t you changed your na?”
Zhou Yan laughed, his gaze extrely gentle.
If earlier his impression of Hua Ru Xi was good, now because of Yilan, it had increased significantly.
Hua Ru Xi hesitated, but thinking about the current situation, there were indeed matters she needed to resolve personally, and Zhou Yan evidently didn’t like too much trouble, so she nodded and said, “Zhou, Zhou Yan, then I, I have been impudent.”
Even though she said this, the respect in her words did not decrease.
“This girl.”
Zhou Yan smiled and patted Hua Ruxue’s shoulder.
Her shoulder was very soft and elastic, extrely pleasant to the touch. However, Zhou Yan’s gaze was clear, without any special thoughts, just recognition and encouragent.
Hua Ru Xi’s cheeks flushed slightly, but in her heart, while happy, she couldn’t help a flutter.
Yet she also knew that the other party was her princess’s ntor, so she dared not have any transgressions.
If she truly could serve Zhou Yan, as she said, even if in the role of a maid, it would be a mark of respect.
In the past of Ye Sha Divine Dynasty, Hua Ru Xi was extrely loyal to Yilan, sothing that wouldn’t change even after the Nine Origin Reincarnation.
“Zhou Yan, the reason I changed my na is that many of our sisters have the surna ‘Hua,’ and in the past, ‘Ru Xi’ ant just as in the past. Changing to this na was simply saying that no matter what happens in the future, in my heart, my sisters and the princess always hold the sa place as before, unchanged and absolutely unchanging.”
Hua Ru Xi explained the initial intention behind her na change, but in this intention, there was an indescribable sense of sadness and hurt.
Perhaps, were it not for this, how could Hua Ru Xi’s icy and fiery temperant be so pronounced?
This was filled with emotion and contradiction; the passion was the emotional connection to her sisters in the past, the feelings with the princess; the coldness erged from the slaughter and the brutal reality, honing out indifference.
The existence of this conflict was precisely why Hua Ru Xi was so sentintal; not that she liked it so, but rather it was the whims of fate, many sisters as close as family had sadly passed away.
The path of cultivation is long and lonely; intimate companions of the past one by one turn into dust, and only she remains, walking alone.
“Sigh, perhaps the result will be better than you think. In the unknown world, struggling bitterly to survive, they might be the sa, and one day, when they grow stronger, everything will be fine.”
Zhou Yan comforted.
At this ti, Zhou Neng and Yan Ruxin had completed vigilance and recovery, and they approached Zhou Yan.
Previously, he saw Zhou Yan reach out to ‘caress’ Hua Ru Xi’s shoulder, originally thinking the big sister would get angry, but unexpectedly she showed a mont of shyness.
This caused Zhou Neng to wink at Yan Ruxin, only to be ignored by her coquettish eye roll.
Hence, seeing the two seed to be discussing sothing, the two promptly ca forward.
