A World Worth Protecting-Chapter 1449

1449 Chapter 1451 — you are not him

Wang Baole shook his head and was about to leave when his parents’reincarnated bodies disappeared from his sight.

I seem to have… forgotten that I have a younger sister… Wang Baole slapped his forehead and scanned the area with his divine thought. He landed in the distance of the city. It was a three-year-old girl from a scholarly family.

Looking at the innocent look in the girl’s eyes, Wang Baole’s gaze was gentle. He raised his right hand and sent a dot of light over.

“I Won’t disturb my parents. Since You’re my younger sister, I’ll give you an extraordinary opportunity so that you can remember your past and protect your parents in the future..

“In this life… cultivate well.”

Wang Baole took a deep look. He averted his gaze after a long while and disappeared from where he stood.

When he reappeared… he was already outside ethereal city. He was on the island at the center of the lake in Ethereal Dao College. The island was the core of the entire ethereal dao college, and its status was extremely high. In the entire federation, it was the Holy Land.

In the center of the island, there was only one house in a vast area. The house was simple and unadorned, surrounded by fences. It looked like a village.

A middle-aged woman was sitting cross-legged in the house, as if she was cultivating. However, in the next moment, she seemed to sense something. She opened her eyes slowly and saw a figure appear outside her house, it was a figure who was looking at her with a smile.

The moment she saw the figure, the woman smiled.

“Goodbye?”

That year, in this place, peach blossoms were in full bloom… Wang Baole bid farewell to Zhou Xiaoya. Before he left, Zhou Xiaoya asked Wang Baole to say two words. Those two words were goodbye.

That was because if they met again, they would be able to meet again.

“We meet again, Xiaoya,”Wang Baole said softly. The middle-aged woman was none other than… Zhou Xiaoya.

Wang Baole did not leave when he arrived. Instead, he built another house beside the house and stayed there. However, he and Zhou Xiaoya were like friends, treating each other like guests.

He accompanied Zhou Xiaoya every day. The two of them watched the sunrise, the sunset, the winds and clouds, the heavens and earth, the changes of all living things, and the development of the Federation.

The feeling of loneliness seemed to have decreased significantly due to their companionship. Zhou Xiaoya’s smile also became more obvious. However, time still gradually passed on her.

However, a sixty-year-cycle passed as the two of them accompanied each other.

Zhou Xiaoya no longer looked like a middle-aged man. Instead, she had a head full of white hair.

She rejected Wang Baole’s offer of help. Her cultivation aptitude was average. Even though she was good at alchemy, she had reached her limits. She wasn’t willing to rely on other methods to extend her life. It seemed to be meaningless to her.

However, she didn’t reject Wang Baole’s offer of reincarnation.

She sat on the rocking chair before closing her eyes and looked at Wang Baole. Deep in her eyes, there was a look of heartache.

“Baole, thank you for your company. I’ve been very happy for the past sixty years, but I can sense that you don’t seem to be happy..

“I never asked you because I knew that you wouldn’t tell me… But now, I’m leaving. Can you tell me?”

Wang Baole looked at Zhou Xiaoya. He was silent for a long time before he spoke softly.

“If I said that I’m not the Wang Baole in your memories, that I’m his clone, the real Wang Baole… has disappeared, would you believe me?”

“I believe you.”Zhou Xiaoya was silent for a few breaths before she spoke softly.

“All these years, I can feel that you’re him, but you’re not him either. Regardless, I still have to thank you for Your Company.”

“I should be the one thanking you…”Wang Baole shook his head.

“You don’t understand.”Zhou Xiaoya smiled slightly and looked deeply at Wang Baole.

“You want to search for his memories, and you want to complete some regrets on his behalf. These are things that you instinctively do, so I want to thank you. You Come…”Zhou Xiaoya said softly.

Wang Baole hesitated for a moment and walked over.

Zhou Xiaoya raised her hand and gently stroked Wang Baole’s hair. She spoke gently.

“All these years, you have kept a distance from me, but… In My Eyes, you are still you. You Are Wang Baole.”

“So, I hope that in the future, you’ll be happy and promise me…”Zhou Xiaoya’s voice grew weaker and weaker. In the end, her hand fell weakly and brushed past Wang Baole’s face, it left behind a final trace of warmth.

Zhou Xiaoya had reincarnated.

She ended the experience of this life with no regrets. What awaited her was the opening of the next life. Perhaps, after a few years, when she cultivated to a certain level in the next life, she would be able to recall her past.

After silently sending Zhou Xiaoya off, Wang Baole sighed softly. He set up a grave for her on the island in the middle of the lake in Ethereal Dao College. He placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the grave and said softly, “Thank you for Your Company…”.

“I still have to thank you for Your Company…”

Wang Baole left. In the past sixty years, he had met many old friends and sent many people away. However, there was only one person whom he did not meet. He stayed until the end.

That Was… Zhao Yameng.

On the snow-white mountain peak, amidst the drifting snowflakes, lived an icy woman. Her name was rumored throughout the entire federation, the entire Solar System, and even the entire stone stele world.

Her identity was extremely special to the federation. She was a dao friend of the ruler, an aid to the federation’s rise, and… It was rumored that she was the DAO Companion of the ruler of the stone stele world.

Her name was Zhao Yameng.

Her mother was the former governor of the Martian colony. She was later the former president of the Federation. During her tenure, she witnessed the federation’s true rise.

Her father was the founder of the Federation’s Spirit Energy Development. He had contributed greatly to the advancement of spirit energy.

She was now one of the spiritual pillars of the entire federation, the entire Solar System, and even the entire stone stele realm. She was the center of attention and admiration of countless people. However… she liked to live alone. Most of the time, she was seen from afar, she was on the snow mountain, looking into the distance.

That day, Wang Baole arrived at the snow mountain and saw the figure standing there.

“You are not him.”

That was the first thing Zhao Yameng said after seeing Wang Baole.

“But I want to know the story after he left… Please, tell me,”Zhao Yameng said softly as she looked at Wang Baole.

Wang Baole looked at the ice-like woman in front of him and nodded. He sat on the Snow Mountain and looked at the snowflakes. Every snowflake that fell seemed to be filled with memories.

“This story is a little long…”

“I have been recalling and organizing it over the years. In the end, I felt that this was a story of redemption and sacrifice. It redeemed myself, sacrificed myself, and fulfilled my other self…”

A few days later, Wang Baole left the snow mountain. He didn’t look back, and he never returned.

On the Snow Mountain, the woman’s figure grew lonelier. She stood there silently. No one knew what she was thinking or waiting for. All that was left was a mumble that seemed to echo in the wind and snow, blending into the snowflakes, she was sent into the world.

“Why did I meet you in my prime…”
