Chapter 1565: Chapter 88: Too Painful to Recall

Mother Empress’s disbelief, in Gu Xi’s view, didn’t seem difficult to resolve.

"Mother Empress, you are a woman of tragic fate, but you’re really too stubborn about many things, stubborn to the point of it being unnecessary."

"Moreover, the reason you can’t leave the Life Universe Cube is because your roots are here. It’s like water in a closed bottle; how can you pour it out without opening the bottle?"

"You can’t escape because your foundation is all here... whereas I’m different."

"I am a rootless existence cultivated by Lady Nuwa along with the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox clan. Just like Brother Zhou Yan, I was created by a perfect method."

"Therefore, we have no roots here, and we need not abide by the rules here."

Gu Xi explained, at the same time, her gaze once again shifted to Zhou Yan, saying, "Brother Zhou Yan, are you ready?"

Zhou Yan, in a daze, looked at Gu Xi’s beautiful and lovely face and couldn’t help but kiss her passionately.

At that moment, even the incredibly composed and cute Gu Xi couldn’t help but let out a soft cry, her whole body immediately becoming somewhat weak and soft.

Zhou Yan embraced Gu Xi, his broad chest pressing hard against her soft and ample form while continuously sucking on her little fragrant tongue.

That scene seemed a bit fiery and romantic, yet the surroundings remained quiet.

A moment later, Zhou Yan released Gu Xi, yet suddenly, his entire conviction surged, as if he had already possessed everything in the world, and nothing could trouble him anymore.

"My family, lovers, and friends are now all by my side, except for Zishuang and Ling Yi who have gone to the world outside the Cube, the rest are all here."

"I have almost no regrets, so indeed, it is time for me to contribute to that battle."

"If it were before, Xi’er, I would definitely worry about you suffering due to giving me the Life Soul, but now, this feeling is no longer so shallow, you won’t harm yourself to fulfill me, nor would I do that."

"Therefore, I not only want to learn the inheritance but learn it to the utmost and survive incredibly strong through the battle, then, grant each of you, the women I cherish most in my life, eternal companionship."

Zhou Yan spoke heavily, his words resolute.

It’s been a long time since Zhou Yan had spoken such powerful words.

But once he uttered them, he would certainly fulfill them.

"Brother Zhou Yan, you’re right, our love will no longer be so frail and vulnerable, so when I took this Life Soul with me, I had already developed the determination to cultivate it for you. Now that I have become a True Holy Spirit, this Life Soul has also reached the state of perfection, equivalent to an independent self. Brother Zhou Yan, this is the biggest key to the compatibility of your Life Soul, and all the answers in the world lie within." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Perhaps, it will take some time for you to sort it out, but it no longer matters."

Gu Xi said, raising her arms and then placing her hands on her own forehead.

At that moment, a pale purple, thunder-imbued, ancient Original Life Soul flew out from the depths of Gu Xi’s forehead.

This Life Soul looked bizarre like a human head, but it flickered with pale purple thunder power, very peculiar and striking.

"This is... isn’t this the King’s Holy Spirit of the Thunder Flame Monarch from back then? Didn’t the Thunder Flame Monarch live into the next life? How has his Holy Spirit been refined into such a mass of origin?"

"If the Thunder Flame Monarch is not the Thunder Flame Monarch, then who are you, Zhou Yan?"

At this moment, even Mother Empress couldn’t help but exclaim, clearly extremely shocked and surprised.

To the point that even her mind couldn’t help but shout out such a sentence.

Gu Xi glanced quietly at Mother Empress, not concealing anything, softly saying, "Mother Empress, the Thunder Flame Monarch has always been trapped on the blood-colored chains outside the Cube, where there is a unique space, and in the space, there’s a Holy Spirit Throne.

The Thunder Flame Monarch’s origin has always been within it.

As for Brother Zhou Yan, like me, he is a life formed by the combination of the oldest and strongest inheritance information from all the humans."

"Therefore, I can have all kinds of abilities of Nuwa, the Emperor Arc clan of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, as well as various capabilities of other major Emperor Demon clans."

"And Brother Zhou Yan is truly the core inheritor of the Human Clan, the bearer of all human hopes; this is the fact!"

"The Thunder Flame Monarch is just an immature vessel, and that was also a bait to mislead the enemy."

"The body of the Thunder Flame Monarch was imprisoned and hidden. And the will and soul of the Thunder Flame Monarch lived in Zhou Yan."

"So Brother Zhou Yan is Lei Yan King himself, also the Thunder Flame Monarch, and even the Purple Flame Monarch, all these are true."

Gu Xi gently explained, their explanation leaving Mother Empress stunned for a long, long time.

"Perhaps many lives will suffer catastrophe, even the Soul Burying Starfield is a ’soul burying’ calamity, but this arrangement was originally made to better continue the lineage and civilization’s inheritance."

"Inheritance has walked this far, it cannot start from the beginning again. Behind every mature Cube, there must be some sacrifice, and everyone understands the principle of choosing the lesser of two evils."

Gu Xi said, inexplicably sighing, even ceasing to speak further.

At this point, that mass of purple thunder power had already flown towards Zhou Yan’s forehead, quietly staying at the place of Zhou Yan’s forehead.

Zhou Yan experienced an incomparably intimate feeling, and through this cluster of purple Life Soul Origin, Zhou Yan saw deep within the Life Soul, a massive, square prison.

Inside the prison, a man drenched in blood was locked onto a blood-colored throne.

His blood-red long hair spread like flowing water to every corner of the room, and even crimson blood trickled from his forehead, making him look extremely miserable.

But when Zhou Yan looked over, he also glanced back, and then, a hint of a relieved smile appeared in his eyes.

That smile contained so much.

And it was at that moment, a unique, inexplicable wave of information emerged in Zhou Yan’s heart.

It was like awakening a long-forgotten memory, like a paralyzed arm suddenly able to move again. In that moment, Zhou Yan seemed to see all the scenes of his past self.

He saw his childhood, all the trials after being nurtured, the various grueling whippings and painful cultivation experiences.

He saw the scenes of despair and agitation after one failure after another in arranging the Soul Burying Starfield.

He saw the initial unbearable past of Zhou Lingyi flattering him, attempting to seize the most ancient and core Emperor Blood Inheritance of the Human Clan.

He also saw the scenes of Feng Zishuang deliberately befriending and seducing him at first, while he purposely took advantage and mercilessly humiliated Feng Zishuang.

The past is unbearable to recall.

Perhaps only by truly recalling all the scenes of the past can one understand that this life, at this moment, is truly a rare fortune.

The passage of time is unbearable to look back on, and looking back, there are more vicissitudes and sighs.

Zhou Yan was in a daze for a long, long time.

Yes, he understood, he understood the reason for the annihilation of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas because the Silent Annihilation Battlefield was ongoing at the edge of the Life Universe Magic Cube, and this battle had been going on for thousands of years.

He also understood that each of the Plane Worlds created was formed based on the Buddhist theory of the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds and supplemented by various rules from Pangu’s Creation of Heaven and Earth to integrate and form a complete theory.

Thus, even if the virtual Soul Burying Starfield and various planes were destroyed, the Tao cultivated from them could still be used.

Zhou Yan also saw his brother Lee Ran painstakingly arranging multiple times, being ambushed repeatedly, and the Xingyi Battle Souls being intercepted and slaughtered in various tragic past incidents.

Zhou Yan also saw the helpless scenes of Yanyan being initially confused and becoming an Evil Spirit, with the heart of slaughter destroying the foundation of one Ancestor of the Human Clan after another.

He also saw Yanyan’s later suffering and self-blame, and witnessed Mu Qingyan enduring enormous blame and doubt.

Furthermore, he saw the miserable scenes of Hou Chen’s madness due to cultivating the Evil Dragon Inheritance for revenge and to protect Sisi, leading to the slaughter of countless humans and being hunted by the Human Clan.

...

The past is truly unbearable to recall.

Because the memories contained within are so real, intense, cruel, and terrifying.

But all those, in the end, are past.

And ultimately, they have become the past.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath, and after the Life Soul gradually embedded into his forehead, Zhou Yan unlocked the shackles within his body, and his combat power surged again.

Zhou Yan did not know how much it had increased, but he knew the increase was significant, extremely significant.

Moreover, Zhou Yan’s King’s Mark became extremely strong and stable.

More importantly, all of Zhou Yan’s memories were complete.

He had nothing forgotten, nothing unknown.

Even if there were things unknown, it was something that no Holy Spirit could know, and it was no longer significantly related to his Origin.

"Xi’er, I love you."

"Qingyan, Ning’er, Luo Shui, I love you too."

Zhou Yan suddenly said deeply.

Gu Xi seemed to understand the meaning of Zhou Yan’s words and immediately gave him a very tender and passionate gaze.

Meanwhile, Qian Luoshui, Mu Qingyan, and Jiang Yuning also said simultaneously, deeply, "Husband, I love you too."

Zhou Yan nodded and then looked at Hou Chen again, saying, "Chencheng, you have suffered grievance, but Father will never let you suffer again. Anyone who dares to bully you, I will make them truly disappear!"

Zhou Yan’s tone was calm yet exuded a terrifying majesty.

It seemed that the now complete Zhou Yan, his combat power was already no less than Mother Empress.
