Chapter 1652: From Now on, I’m No More in Reincarnation!

Editor: Atlas Studios

The red curtain of memory lifted within the historic scene, just like the turbulence in the Young Lord’s heart.

It came from the depths of his sealed memories.

Though this recollection had gradually loosened over endless years, and despite his countless years of silent, frenzied waiting within the Immortal Palace, part of him had already pieced together an answer.

Yet… at this moment, facing the true history before his very eyes, he still could not find peace.

Hence, Spirit Phoenix held his hand more firmly.

At this moment, Xu Qing, sharing an integrated state with the Young Lord, could clearly feel the turbulence in the other’s heart.

He could understand it, yet he could only remain silent.

A life intertwined with truths and illusions, years of despair and hope, the mingling of cries and laughter—all of it, ultimately… was the essence of a father’s love.

But the one who had once delivered that love had long since faded into the sands of time.

Raising his hand, Xu Qing watched as the grains slipped through his fingers like sand from the riverbed.

So all that was left to do was to continue traversing through time, undaunted by the vast chasm between life and death. With dreams and wandering souls, heavy with sorrow and helplessness, he carried boundless longing, crossing the boundaries of existence, walking through the time.

How many times did he think about his closed ones’ well-being?

Xu Qing sighed softly.

He thought of Peerless City and his parents’ figures that were a little blurry in his memory but would never dissipate.

He also thought of the Seven Blood Eyes, his master, Captain Lei, and Grandmaster Bai.

Finally, these figures transformed into an ancient voice that echoed in his consciousness.

“Endlessly onward! Without end!”

…

The scenes of history continued to flow in time.

The red curtain was lifted but it didn’t take away the redness. Hence, the color of the wedding was dyed red in history.

Like blood.

On the scene, Aurora Immortal Lord was smiling in relief.

Young Lord and Fairy Spirit Phoenix were paying their respects.

It was just that… in this true history, no one at this end of the river extended fifteen minutes of time for them.

As for the changes in the world, the waves of the sea of light… descended with a bang the instant the first bow ended.

The sun and moon were taken down.

Red became the property of the Aurora Immortal Lord. Hence, the sky… lost the sun and moon. From then on, the red aurora became the only sky light.

Under the sunlight, countless bubbles appeared again.

At the same time, an aged hand appeared.

He crushed the bubble, and the sound of its shattering echoed, taking with it the splendor of the Immortal Palace. In the aftermath, the two newlyweds standing amidst the ruins were left dazed, their minds awash in a storm of confusion and blurred consciousness.

It was as if, regardless of the Immortal Lord or Venerable Immortal, both had chosen to keep certain secrets from these two.

Hence, they were isolated and fell into unconsciousness.

Before he fainted, the last thing the Young Lord in the scene saw when he lifted his head was his father choosing to rebel and change the Ordinance to divine aspect. He was currently rushing into the starry sky.

He would rather be suppressed than to yield without a fight!

After that, the Young Lord in the scene lost consciousness.

And the scenes of history continued.

Young Lord and Spirit Phoenix, who had walked over from the mirror image, were still staring at the truth in history.

So they saw it.

Even though the Aurora Immortal Lord’s entire body shone with a resplendent red light, he… didn’t have the slightest battle intent!

He was laughing, he was crying, he was shouting at that aged hand.

“Father, kill me!”

These words were like millions of bolts of lightning that rumbled in the Young Lord’s mind.

This wasn’t a suppression battle because of rebellion at all.

This was…

“Father is… asking for death…” Young Lord’s body trembled. As he muttered bitterly, an ancient sigh echoed in history.

All the bubbles were shining and the light gathered, forming a vast figure.

It appeared in the starry sky, in front of Aurora Immortal Lord, occupying everything.

It was as though he was the starry sky.

His gaze was complicated. There was guilt, helplessness, and sorrow. A hoarse voice slowly rang out from his mouth.

“Do you resent me… for sealing the divine calamity within you?”

Aurora Immortal Lord lifted his head and looked at the familiar figure in front of him.

That was his father, the supreme existence in the entire Fifth Star Ring.

Venerable Immortal!

He was the one who led the cultivators of the minor worlds to counterattack!

He was the one who overthrew the rule of the gods and ended the suffering of all living beings.

He was the one who flattened the Fifth Star Ring and made this place the land of cultivators.

His achievements were unprecedented in the Fifth Star Ring.

He was also an irreplaceable hero whom countless people had admired since they were young.

“I don’t.”

“I know that your battle with the Venerable God back then looked like a victory, but in reality, the Venerable God left behind a divine calamity before He died and tainted your body.”

“Gods… They are, after all, part of the upper star rings’ essence, born from the core of the upper star rings. At the level of a Lord God, They are eternal and indestructible. As long as They are remembered—even if countless eras pass—as long as someone calls upon Them, They can return.”

“Not to mention… the Venerable God.”

Aurora Immortal Lord looked at the Venerable Immortal in front of him. His red light rippled and his voice echoed.

“And with the power of His shattered divinity, the Venerable God gathered His boundless divine might to form the ultimate curse—a calamity so formidable that even someone as powerful as you could not completely erase it; a trace remained, becoming an indelible mark.”

“So, after that battle, you chose to enter closed-door cultivation.”

“I understand that you did so because you discovered the Venerable God… sought to use this calamity to… resurrect Himself through you.”

“Although this resurrection would require an incredibly long time, if left unresolved, it would become a certainty. The moment of resurrection would also mark the annihilation of the Fifth Star Ring’s cultivators, turning them to ashes.”

“To prevent such a situation, you drifted between the upper and lower rings of all star realms, transforming into countless forms, seeking a way to break the curse until you finally found a solution.”

At this point, Aurora paused for a moment and bitterness appeared in his tone.

“That means your main body fell into slumber to evade the will of the calamity, thereby transferring it!”

“And this transfer technique has stringent conditions; you cannot disperse its essence, and only your direct descendant, the sole bloodline, can inherit it. Hence, you could only have one son, and I too can only have one son, and so on.”

“After 4,900 generations, it can be neutralized.”

“And the further in time we go, the weaker this calamity becomes, until it completely dissipates.”

“Thus, in the end, for the sake of the Fifth Star Ring, you chose to transfer this calamity to me in this manner, allowing your main body to fall into slumber.”

“This is also why there is a rotation of eras in the Fifth Star Ring; because your main body is asleep, even your clones often have to sleep alongside you.”

“I know this was your sacrifice for the Fifth Star Ring, sealing the calamity through your lineage, transferring it from generation to generation, and gradually diminishing its power.”

“I understand all of this and tried to agree.”

Aurora Immortal Lord mumbled.

“But… Father, the integration of the divine calamity was the cause of Ming’er’s mother’s death. She… died when I lost control over the divine calamity the first time.”

“I… tore her apart… with my own hands.”

“I… killed the love of my life…”

“Do you know? She didn’t flee or resent me. Before she died, she looked at me gently. She used her life to wake me up from losing control.”

“I couldn’t face the truth, so I fell into a slumber.”

Tears streamed down Aurora Immortal Lord’s eyes. He looked at the Venerable Immortal in front of him with a pained expression. He couldn’t bear the scene back then, couldn’t accept it, and found it even more difficult to forgive himself.

However, he couldn’t help but understand his father, this Venerable Immortal who sacrificed his lineage for the sake of the Fifth Star Ring.

However, the more he tried to understand, the more he blamed himself. This self-blame had become a black hole that was devouring everything about him at all times.

Hence, in this endless pain, he chose to seal himself.

This was because he was worried that in this state, he might hurt even more people.

This was the reason why Aurora had fallen into a deep sleep in history.

“Ten thousand years later, when I woke up, I originally thought that I had successfully suppressed it, so I unsealed Ming’er’s seal… I wanted to spend the rest of my life watching him grow.”

“For me, Ming’er’s growth has become a form of healing…”

“But Father, I didn’t expect that I had never succeeded in suppressing it. That day… I lost control again.”

Aurora Immortal Lord’s body trembled and so did his voice.

“That day, I almost… tore him apart. Just a little more, just a little more…”

“After that, I chose to build the catacombs and seal myself. I told Ming’er not to come and see me when night falls.”

“I originally wanted to… make my seal stronger.”

“Until… I sensed that Ming’er’s Ordinance had been changed. I know that it was you who changed his Ordinance from the mirror to… the Three Karmas Ten Evil Seals that are used to transfer and seal the divine calamity!”

“You wanted me to transfer the source of this pain to Ming’er when I can’t take it anymore.”

“However, how can I let him be like me, enduring this pain day and night, enduring the intense pain of killing his loved one by his own hands!”

Aurora Immortal Lord laughed crazily and pointed at the Venerable Immortal.

“Father, as a Venerable Immortal, you have made great contributions to the Fifth Star Ring! I don’t blame you for sacrificing your lineage!”

“But… I’m also a father!”

“I’m not as great as you. I’m unwilling and can’t pass my pain to my descendants!”

“I also know that there’s actually another way to neutralize this divine calamity. There’s no need to go through so much trouble.”

“Actually, after you transferred the divine calamity to me back then, you could use the method you planned to completely destroy it.”

“That is to kill me when the time is right!”

“Now… the divine calamity and I have fused into one. The time has arrived!

“I have already rebelled and changed my Ordinance to divine aspect. The will of God is about to awaken. Father, you… don’t have much time left!

So… kill me!!

“Grind my flesh, shatter my bones, extinguish my soul, break everything about me, so that there will be no trace of my will in the past, present, and future! Let all beings and all things have no memory of me!”

“Let all living beings no longer have any traces of me in their memories!

Let this cycle of reincarnation be without me, as if I never existed in the future.”

“For example, you never had me!”

Aurora Immortal Lord rose!

The red aurora dyed the entire history…

That was the color of the wedding and also the color of blood!

It was also fatherly love.

Vaguely, there seemed to be a sentence echoing in history.

“From now on, you are the Sun and Moon of the Fifth Star Ring. Within you lies boundless light, untarnished by anything. And with divine protection before you, divine calamity shall never befall you.”
