And so, another day has passed.
And I can say that this will be a day that I will remember till the day I either cease to exist or simply die.
Anyways, all 3 of us will need some time to rest and sort things out. After all, none of us are able to think straight right now.
Although tomorrow I will need to have a talk with Ning'er.
Or at least that's what I hope, but something tells me that she will find me herself once she managed to clear her mind.
Hahaha, really now, the thought of tomorrow both make me giddy and … scared.
Well, whatever happens, I won't be alone.
But really now, that said I have to straighten things with my brother, after all, I put this aside long enough.
The current him is still really week. And considering how this world works being week won't get you too far in life.
I will need to check his constitution, afterword's to create a cultivation technique that will suit him. But then comes the hard part… making him accept the technique.
I could just show him my current level, and explain to him the advantages of the technique.
And considering how the old farts from out clan act, he will need all the help he can get.
Afterword's, I should teach him a derivate technique from The God Slayer.
As for me, well I won't show myself until I make sure that Ning'er, Ziyun and I are strong enough.
I will also need Ziyun's help so I can pass a cultivation technique to Ye Zong that is more suitable. I won't let him die this time around.
I will also need to boost the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array. Giving it an automatic reaction toward treats, be it demon beasts or humans.
Also, the web novel description for Glory City's situation where really a big understatement. First of all, the size itself is simply gigantic, more like a metropolitan in size, if I where to put it in size it's similar to Shanghai, China.
The infrastructure is bad. The ordinary people don't have many rights. The noble families have to much power and monopoly, power wise we are also quite small for a place this big.
One move from the true behemoths of this 'dimension' is enough to raze Glory City to the grounds. And I don't even want to think what would happen if Nie Li will somehow manage to break the barrier that holds this dimension sealed, and those that do not originate from this dimension will be able to come inside… the slaughter that would happen would be unimaginable. From my point of view the lucky would be the ones that will die in the process, as for those that will survive, they will properly live a life that's not even worth being called a life…
So this puts me in an impasse… originally I wanted to let him live, but now, considering who Ziyun actually is, I can't let Nie Li continue like this. After all, even though I am sure that she will reject him, but, knowing Nie Li, he will definitely not give up.
…Ha, why is it that the majority of the main characters in stories treat women as possession? I mean really, he himself stated that he has been with a few women in his life, and he himself is a few centuries old, so how the hell can't he even understand a woman's feelings. Had he actually cared enough he would have understood, so this means that he just did not care enough. And thinking back to the original plot, the only reason she even accepted him the first time was because there were no better options, as for the second time, well let's just say that with lots of persistence, important gifts at the right moments and a bit of courage, put together that she felt alone in her own home its normal that she would eventually relent and accept him in her heart. But for the current her, considering that she is already showing parts of her old self, Nie Li doesn't really stand much of a chance.
But even so, I don't like the danger element he poses for me and for those around. Both he and Ye Han are similar to the bastard who backstabbed me… so I will have to eliminate them. As for when, if I remember right, my brother Linjian did say that he will make that trip to the Ancient Orchid City Ruins, that comes in line with the original story. By then I will be able to reach the Legend realm and awaken my Mangekyo Sharingan, and with the help of the Library of Heavens Path I should be able to take all of his knowledge before killing him, although this means that I will have to take care of the Heavenly Marks family in his place, after all from what I remember there will also be quite a few hidden geniuses among them as well, considering they are one of the family's of old with special bloodlines, that and I should do something about his parents, after all having your own child die is beyond painful so this will be a bit hard to deal with, although a method does come to mind and while it may sound cruel coming from me of all people, a new child should help them get over Nie Li.
… To think I would be reduced to things like this, I have become just as low as those I used to consider beneath me, and now look at me, I'm planning the death of someone whom for some time I called a friend.
But even so, I will bath myself in blood and dirt than live through losing everything again just because I refused to do something about it, and it's better done by me than leaving it to those I care about.
And so, the time passes on. Chen Tian reaches the Divine Family's residence.
Entering he starts looking for Chen Linjian.
Knowing that brother of mine, he's properly in the training ground.
At the training grounds.
A young man can be seen doing intense training, while his body glisters with perspiration. This young man is non-other then Chen Linjian, the young master of the Divine Family.
Looking at the teen before him, Chen Tian can't help but lets out a small chuckle.
Hearing this, Chen Linjian turns his head and sees his younger brother.
"Brother. Did you come to train?"
"Something like that…"
Reaching with his sense's outwards, Chen Tian searches to see if there are others nearby.
After a few moments, fortunately, there's no one nearby.
Waiving his hand, Chen Tian creates a concealing array.
Watching all this, Chen Linjian is stupefied.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"Something that must be done, for both our sakes…"
Pressure start's emanating from the youngest of the 2 brothers.
Chen Linjian feels his knees shaking under the pressure. Shivers go downs his spine as he looks at Chen Tian.
For the first few moments shock appears on his face as he sees the blood red eyes with 2 tomoe spinning inside of each.
The pressure increases, his legs finally give, as he falls on his hands and knees.
His breathing is hard, his perspiration increasing, as he feels a mountain pushing down upon him.
All this happen only for a few moments until the pressure goes away like it was never there.
As he gasps for air, Chen Linjian raises his head to look at Chen Tian.
The expression on his face was an amalgam of emotions. Shock, fear, curiosity and so on.
Seeing this, Chen Tian lets out a dry chuckle.
"No need to look at me like that brother. Rise, we have a lot to talk about…"
He talks about his life in the past few years. The dark secrets that the Divine Family holds. Truth be told he himself was disgusted by their so-called clan elders beyond what he thought possible. Also, the clan head himself has quite a few problems.
It was so bad that for a few minutes there he truly regretted with his whole heart that he chose the Library of Heaven's Path as an ability, after all with it even the most well-kept secrets that a person holds can be uncovered…
As he heard his brothers' findings Chen Linjian stood frozen like a stone, all while blood drained from his face.
Things were starting to click in his mind. Small events that he put aside, some of the younger servants disappearing under the guise of transfer or such things…
"And that's not all elder brother. Our father himself has done some things that are simply unforgivable. And no, I will not tell you what they are, after all, knowing you, you will definitely confront him on this."
"And this is the reason I'm currently revealing myself to you. I will help, after all this clan is also part of my family, and it has fallen to such 'depts' that it must be cleansed. But at the same time, I do not wish to lead the family, this position is your by right and so it will remain, as such here I will make my first contribution."
And so, Chen Linjian is given a cultivation technique that is tailored for his physic, together with a lesser level of The God Slayer.
Sometime later.
In the middle of the night, around 1 AM, as Chen Tian is resting in his bedroom, an intruder comes in the grounds of the Divine Family, moving at a fast speed while concealing its presence. No movements can be seen or sound heard.
As the figure moves through the compound, it passes b dozens of guards, while moving toward the chambers of Chen Tian.
Reaching its destination, it comes to a halt, as it pays attention to its surrounding.
After a few moments, it slowly raises up while slowly it takes another step forward and it disappears.
Slowly it ages toward the bead where Chen Tian is resting as it slowly approaches him till it comes to a sudden halt.
To 'it's' surprise before it, the young man is looking right towards 'it', his eyes lazily opened, with a small smirk on his face. His upper body completely naked, showing his upper body in all of its glory.
"Well my dear, you sure took your time. Haven't you?"
A few moments of silence follow as the figure stays still. Then it lets its clock drop on the ground. Now in front of Chen Tian stands non-other than Xiao Ning'er.
Pouting, she sits on his bead, "Really now, and here I wanted to surprise you."
Shaking his head while letting an out chuckle, Chen Tian's expression suddenly changes, seriousness can be seen on his face as his eye's stare directly into Xiao Ning'er's.
Reaching out and taking one of her hands into his own, he can feel them trembling, just like his.
His mouth dry, as he tries to speak out a question that has been on his mind for the last few hours.
"…H…how much, how much do you remember." His voice barely audible was filled with uncertainty and worry.
Hearing his question, a tear falls down from Xiao Ning'er's eyes, while a small brilliant smile forms on her lips.
"…It's strange you know… I can't remember our names, but I remember the basic knowledge of our world, Atreia, I also remember quite a few of our battles."
"I remember the day we meet for the first time on the battlefield, the day we got together, our first kiss, even the fact that we had 2 children. I also remember how we died… what we lost that day… but there's still so much more that I still don't know."
"Many of our major battles. I don't remember about them, a good part of my strongest skills is also missing…my love…"
