Chapter 1705: Chapter 192: Mother Empress’s Aid
"That is still better than... being reduced to ashes, and even if they live four lives, there will inevitably be a day of union, because within them, they all have the roots and stems of the Life Ancient Tree, with the same Origin."
The Mother Empress hesitated for a moment and advised.
Lei Yan King didn’t hesitate any longer, but gritted his teeth and followed the Mother Empress’s words directly.
He also knew that by doing so, he was very likely to fall into the enemy’s calculations, but his instinct told him that the Mother Empress would never deceive him.
This instinct was terrifying, and very strong.
And this instinct, at this moment, made Lei Yan King realize that it was definitely not some kind of Demon Heart’s temptation but a real instinct, stemming from the body’s own ’memory’ instinct.
So, he immediately did so.
As Xiao Ziyi was leaving, suddenly a deeply affectionate and warm voice was transmitted.
"Husband, Zishuang has remembered some things. In the next life, Zishuang will accompany you, serving you well in the form of an extraordinary woman with multiple personalities."
Xiao Ziyi said, and then she transformed into four halos and entered deep into the endless withering Life Ancient Tree.
And Lei Yan King used corresponding methods, combined with the Mother Empress’s techniques, to complete this process.
After the process, Lei Yan King’s eyes reddened, and drops of blood fell.
The Mother Empress did not leave immediately. She looked at Lei Yan King in such a state, but showed a trace of complex emotion.
Her face was initially very blurred, Lei Yan King couldn’t clearly see her features, but Lei Yan King still instinctively recognized her as the Mother Empress.
But at this moment, the mask on the Mother Empress’s face suddenly disappeared, becoming incredibly clear.
Her appearance was so familiar to Lei Yan King, so unforgettable.
However, this kind of appearance was different from the familiarity Lei Yan King had for Xiao Ziyi, but he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was different.
It was precisely such a contradictory impact that eased Lei Yan King’s feeling of sorrow and grief.
This was unexpected even for Lei Yan King himself.
In fact, even if it was sorrow, Lei Yan King would not let such pain persist.
Because no matter what Xiao Ziyi was, or what kind of profound familiarity originated from whatever factor, there was one unchanging thing that always existed and never changed, and that was love.
Everything Xiao Ziyi did was because of love, and because of love, there was no need for sorrow, because neither side would ever wish the other to be in a state of pain.
Lei Yan King restrained his anguished heart and calmed himself down.
Afterward, when he looked at the Mother Empress, his expression was much more relieved.
"Mother Empress, thank you."
Lei Yan King calmed his emotions, his tone incredibly sincere.
He himself didn’t know in what form he would exist after another bout of madness, whether he would have the chance to awaken again.
But it had to be said, after each devouring, after each growth, the evil degree of the Demon Heart would surge, utterly uncontrollable.
"Lei Yan King, there’s no need to thank me. In the future, there are still many causes and effects between us, only when the time comes, I hope... you can give me a chance, a chance for atonement!"
"This—what do you mean?"
Lei Yan King was slightly taken aback, feeling somewhat uncertain and suspicious in his heart.
His disposition was already very calm, but after the Mother Empress said these words, he still instinctively felt a kind of heart-pounding sensation, showing that the words of the Mother Empress involved many inexplicable things, and they were extremely important and crucial.
But, no matter from which angle, since the Mother Empress had said so, and now the Mother Empress was obviously for Xiao Ziyi, having paid a lot, then what could be unforgivable about the Mother Empress’s matter?
Despite thinking this, Lei Yan King still pondered for a long time.
The Mother Empress did not urge, patiently waiting for Lei Yan King’s answer.
A moment later, Lei Yan King sighed and said, "For whatever reason, this time, the matter with Xiao Ziyi was only changed with your help. Although Ziyi is now extremely dangerous, even unable to see the future, Ziyi ultimately has the opportunity to live in the next life. And I now have to take the next step, to destroy the Devil Heart Evil Spirit, it seems I also need to suppress the Demon Heart, while letting emotional obsessions live to the next life. So, I will still forgive you, because for me, Ziyi is almost the most important part of me, inseparable and irreplaceable, you saved her, I have no reason to go against you."
The Lei Yan King spoke earnestly, revealing the thoughts in his heart.
He didn’t deliberately hide anything, because many things, in reality, even he himself doesn’t know now.
But if these words are not spoken, I’m afraid there won’t be a chance to say them later.
"I understand, I understand more than you do, otherwise, I wouldn’t have projected myself into the time axis. I can’t guarantee other things, but I can guarantee one thing, what you care about will not disappear, but it still needs your own effort! The things you’ve lost, I kind of know some about, but I can’t be sure, nor can I think about it, or touch this truth, otherwise it will be obliterated by the time axis."
"As for what the time axis is exactly, I can’t explain it to you, but if you trust me, then I will grant you a sealing, a curse-like sealing, preventing you from seeking the truth at critical moments. Because once you seek the truth when your power hasn’t reached the corresponding qualification, you will indeed be obliterated.
And you, truly are an important existence, once you are obliterated, the time axis will become chaotic and twisted, then the calamity will truly descend, and existences like ’Xiao Ziyi,’ ’Mu Qingyan,’ etc., will all truly be destroyed, with no chance to change any of it."
The Mother Empress’s gaze was incomparably beautiful, yet these words rang loudly and emphatically.
At that moment, the Lei Yan King even felt a terrifying sensation of having all his secrets seen through by the other party, but this did not give him the suffocating fear of destruction, so the Lei Yan King knew that the Mother Empress was speaking genuine thoughts, truly crucial insights.
"Trustworthy, what’s there not to trust? You’ve not only revealed your deepest secrets to me, but also showed me your appearance, even spoke to me about matters of the time axis. Although I, the Lei Yan King, may not understand many things temporarily, it doesn’t mean I’m a fool.
You’ve paid a massive price in doing so, so regardless of any past grievances, at least now you are compensating, even risking destruction to project here and assist me; this kindness, I, the Lei Yan King, will remember."
"You may begin, perhaps you need me to cooperate, don’t hesitate to say what is needed."
The Lei Yan King spoke with utmost sincerity.
Although he is now incredibly powerful, perhaps comparable to Jiang Xing in combat power, the Lei Yan King understands that compared to the Mother Empress, his combat power is almost like an ant.
Despite this being merely a peculiar sensation, the Lei Yan King exceptionally believed in it.
This is neither an illusion nor a temptation or misdirection from the Devil Heart, but a judgment from his Origin.
Having been able to clearly discern this judgment from his Origin, the Lei Yan King had no doubt in the words spoken by the Mother Empress.
By now, the Lei Yan King maintained a strong ability to judge this matter.
"Once you’ve stabilized your state, I will separate your emotional perseverance Sovereign Origin and your Devil Heart Origin into two independent existences, then I will grant a special Heavenly Pivot Ancient Town on your emotional perseverance."
The Mother Empress spoke, conveying what needed to be done in the form of Emperor Pattern Derivation to the Lei Yan King.
The Lei Yan King sensed the techniques of the Mother Empress, gradually his expression grew tense.
The inheritance of Emperor Pattern Derivation by the Mother Empress was an extremely complex Tao, akin to changes of a mark-like imprint, highly mysterious and unfathomable.
The Lei Yan King was certain he’d never seen this before, nor had he encountered it, but instinctively could understand and grasp it, like he held an unknown memory inheritance, capable of creating these things at will within.
This was a bizarre experience, but the Lei Yan King knew he had obliterated some aspects of his memory, so he wasn’t surprised by this occurrence.
After clearly understanding the information carried by these things, Lei Yan King refrained from showing it, and at this point, the Mother Empress started to explain the essence of these things.
The Mother Empress’s explanation was almost identical to the Lei Yan King’s own understanding, but if there were minuscule differences, it was that the Mother Empress’s explanation seemed slightly coarse, whereas the Lei Yan King’s understanding was more precise.
In the main, the Mother Empress concealed nothing at all.
"These things are extremely complex, can you comprehend them?"
The Mother Empress queried.
The Mother Empress repeated her teachings three times, and only after did she inquire so.
Her incomparably beautiful gaze contained a hint of worry.
"I’ve completely understood, Mother Empress need not worry."
"Hm? Completely understood? This is Holy Spirit... this is a very complex Emperor Pattern, beyond Immortal Level Rune, and you grasp it so effortlessly... Indeed, had it not been the case, how would you be so powerful..."
Initially, the Mother Empress was deeply shocked and incredulous, but as she spoke to herself midway, she seemed to have thought of some matters and hence ceased to be astonished, gradually becoming accustomed.
The Lei Yan King, thoughtful, derived some matters, certain that he previously was extremely adept with this Emperor Pattern, thus resolving some of the confusions in his heart.
This realization also affirmed to the Lei Yan King that he indeed lost important memories.
