Chapter 1195: A Familiar Face

Chapter 1195: A Familiar Face

The truth of Earth Two? What lies beneath this world that seems so normal?

This is the thoughts that is swirling inside his mind right now

And how is it connected with everything?

Azief did not feel this before but as he follows the trail leading to this weird world he is in now, this projection, his heart is beating fast

There is a sense of him close to something. It is an instinct of sorts. Something that his conscious mind did not catch but his unconscious mind senses

'There is something about this. There is something that I had missed. This kind of feeling…. this kind of excitement and anxiousness, fear and awe melded into one emotion….' Azief thought to himself and he had reached to a conclusion

There is the feeling of about to face a grand destiny. He did not know how to explain how he reached to that conclusion. What matter is that this is the kind of premonition that he had.

That is why he said to himself that he must have missed something.

Azief had always try not to think too much of Earth Two

Azief closes his eyes for a second and the memory of his life in Earth Two seems to flash inside his mind

There were good memories. Happy ones. But there are also sad ones. A sad memory does not discredit the happy ones.

Because his happy times was because of a person. And his saddest memory is also about the same person.

So, when he thinks of his happy memories in Earth Two, he undoubtedly would veer to the sad part of the memories.

Most of the time, he would try to forget his memory in Earth Two.

He tries to forget it because he had made a promise to himself that he would never tried to search for Na Eun again.

He was tempted actually when he was running alongside Will in the space and time channel. Tempted to just veer off course and ty to seek the world where Na Eun has gone to. To just see her face and tell her that he did not die.

To give him another kiss.

To settle whatever, it is between them and not leave it unresolved like that.

He wanted to tell her that at that time, he was younger. More immature. A man that does not entirely knows what he wants.

That he had now in a way, better. That he now could answer that question of hers

And he did not have an answer. No….to be more accurate the answer would not be something that would make anyone happy and so he never answers it

But…. but….as he experiences many things in his life, he had the confidence to answer that question but now he couldn't see her anymore

Each time he is tempted.

One foot veers off and he could do that. He could have ended up in Earth two and using that tears went to the place where Na Eun is.

But he did not.

And as he tries to forget about that world, trying to forget about her, because remembering her and not going after her is a silent pain of his that he did not really share to anyone.

Not to Sofia. Not to Katarina. Not to Loki and not to Sina. It is a pain that only he understands.

A pain that he relishes because by feeling that pain, he knows that Na Eun is still there…. there in his heart.

His love for her might not be as passionate as it is with Sofia or as miraculous like with him and Katarina, but during that time, when he was at Earth Two, he was alone.

Azief had regretted that he had never love her fully because he knows that he would leave. And he did not give his heart fully to her.

Not because he is afraid that she would hurt it but because he fears that the more he loves her, the more he would get hurt at the inevitable separation.

He was younger. He was more full of worries. And he did not understand what he had understood now.

If he knows what he knows now, he would just enjoy that moment fully, giving her his heart unreservedly

But it is only after he could not see her again, that he realizes all of this thing. Azief had few regrets in his lie and he tries not to make a lot of regrets.

And one of them is that. It is not loving her fully.

And he knows that however tempted he is to try to see her again, he must not

Because then, it would just be because of his selfishness. And his selfishness could cause damage

The only reason why he did not search Na Eun is because he doesn't want to open another breach to the world that she had transmigrated to.

What happens if he did the same thing to the new world that Earth two inhabitant had found? It would defeat the purpose of saving Earth two people in the first place.

But now, with this revelation that a surge of energy that surpass a blast of energy that even his Earth would find hard to produce, it seems that Earth Two is not as common as he thought it was.

'I need to find out more' he thought to himself. The moment he focusses, the time that was slowed down become normal again

The wind that moves slowly in that slowed down world finally become normal and blows the grass and leaves.

The grass finally completes the revolution of its swaying. The clouds move and sound finally seems to be restored.

He looks at the man with the white robe in the distance and he close his eyes, and focus on visualizing what he wanted.

What he wanted was to come closer to that man and then he felt the area around him warp and in just an instant, before the blinking of an eye is complete, he already appears just beside the man

Of course, his existence could not be discerned by these people. Azief understood a bit of the technology of the Orvanians and while he called this a projection, in a way it is not.

Some of it maybe. But some of it is in real time. At least at the time where the event is happening.

There is time travel and dimensional travel all at once.

But if Orvanian employ true time travel in just the action of viewing the matters of the past of a certain world, it might create a diverging timeline and that is not something anyone wanted.

So, the principle of seeing the past or present of a certain world was that it created a projection of the real-time while at the same time isolating the observer in a secret hidden compartment of a dimensional barrier.

So, right now, as he is looking at the man wearing the white robe, he is truly at that world, sitting on the plains, looking at the distance.

Everything right now is real time.

But because Azief is using the helmet, the helmet projected the present real-time event to him in another dimension like the mirror dimension that Lee Sangmin created.

It also protects the timeline since everything in the mirror-like dimension would not affect the true timeline.

He takes another step closer to the man in the white robe and look at his face.

'Hmm;

'This man looks familiar' Azief thought to himself.

'I could have sworn that I have seen this face before' he mutters to himself.

But then he looks with his Divine Sense, his eyes turn bright blue with a tint of gold and he could see "that" again

Even though he is now in front of that man, he still not believes what he is seeing

Fortune that seems to strike and pierce the heavens. Of course the fortune he is seeing right now is not the true fortune of this person but his projection of his future fortune

And this kind of fortune do not affect the reality but this shows that this man, whoever he is possess great fortune that probably would last for….and this is the kicker…. millions of years.

A fortune and prosperity that would last that kind of long…what kind of fate and destiny this man would have to endure and live through?

And that is his minimum estimation of this kind of fortune.

Azief could not imagine what this man would do or achieve that he would be blessed with such a fortune

Even the chosen of an era would not have this much fortune. Some worlds that have will would impart some of the luck of the world to some people to protect itself.

It is a bit like the concept of the Way of Heaven.

However, that kind of fortune could be affected by many things. And when you have finished the task, then the fortune that the Heaven Will gave you would slowly dissipate over time

It would not be like the fortune of this man in the white robe.

He is becoming more curious about this man.
