Chapter 126: The Reincarnated Villain Makes The Heroines Tearfully Beg For ForgivenessLin Yan was dressed in simple coarse linen clothes and the starlight in the sky illuminated his angular face.
"The Seven Star God Sect’s Senior, thank you for being by my side for all these years. But now the time has come for us to part ways." said Lin Yan looking at the ancient artefact before him.
Since the year the Seven Star God Sect got its inheritor, she intended to follow him.
Counting down, they had been together for ten thousand years.
Yet, the ancient artifact still didn’t seem to grasp human emotions.
Despite bidding farewell, she didn't appear upset.
Instead, she stared at Lin Yan under the starlight and said with an emotionless face, "Lin Yan, do you remember the question I asked you back then?"
Her words stunned Lin Yan.
The ancient artifact continued, "Back then, when you dug up your Supreme Bone for your younger sister Xiao Yanran, I asked you if she would do the same thing for you. Then, you answered she would... So now I want to ask you. You have done so much for her, for the people around you, and for everyone on the entire Lingxuan Continent. If they were in your position, would they do the same to save you?"
As Lin Yan faced the same question after ten thousand years, he no longer had the same firmness he had then.
"I... don't know," said Lin Yan after he hesitated for a while and he shook his head weakly.
...
"I don't know."
These simple words, however, were like a sharp knife that pierced through the hearts of Xiao Yanran and others.
Their bodies trembled slightly, and blood was dripping from their mouth corners.
They all held hope in their hearts that Lin Yan would say, "They will".
However, it was only after hearing his words that Xiao Yanran and others realized how much he had silently cared about them for ten thousand years, perhaps even a lifetime.
The person who cared most for them until now became heart-rending.
Despite the scars in his heart, and though he severely agonized, he had managed to hide them so well.
…
Surely, the world has changed a great deal over the past ten thousand years.
Lin Yan of ten thousand years ago could confidently reply "they will" to such a question.
It was the same Lin Yan ten thousand years later, however, his face was filled with uncertainty, and answered, "I don't know."
Just thinking about his change of heart made Xiao Yanran and others burst into despair.
Everyone could imagine that within the span of ten thousand years, Lin Yan who was sitting in that cold hall felt his heart had turned emotionless bit by bit…
All these years, they repeatedly hurt the person who loved them most all over.
"We will, we all will… beg you. Please don't give up on us..."
Xiao Yanran’s figure trembled and she couldn't help but scream.
...
(On The Lingxuan Continent)
Silence.
At this moment, a heavy silence engulfed everywhere.
All of them felt the loss and loneliness in the Heavenly Emperor’s words.
However, it was evident to them as well there was also a glimmer of hope in the Heavenly Emperor's heart.
It was this trace of hope that led him to say, "I don't know."
Instead of saying, "they won't..."
…
(Within The Screen In The Sky)
Lin Yan quickly recovered from his confusion.
He then waved his hand at the artifact spirit and said with a simile, "Why overthink it so much? I just did what I was supposed to do."
After saying that, he walked step by step towards the starry sky above and turned around, "Seven Star God Sect’s Senior, farewell ...I am going to do what I should do now."
Lin Yan, who was dressed in coarse linen clothes, walked step by step and resembled his teenage self as in the past.
Upon looking at him disappear into starlight, the ancient artifact mumbled to herself.
"He wasted more than half of his life. He was still like a teenager back then. He hadn't changed a bit."
…
(On The Lingxuan continent)
It was an amazing scene that captivated many people.
It was as if the Heavenly Emperor on the screen wasn't domineering and peerless in their minds, but the teenager ten thousand years ago.
He had a faint smile on his face and a warm heart right now.
"I'm Lin Yan...Lin means wood, Yan means rock..." The teenager smiled, waving his hand at everyone he knew.
...
Snap!
The massive screen in the sky suddenly exploded at this moment.
Also, the aura emanating from the Heavenly Emperor’s soul fragment at this moment dissipated completely.
""No!""
Seeing the screen suddenly disappear, almost everyone immediately shrieked.
“Where is the Heavenly Emperor?”
“We have not seen the final destination of the Heavenly Emperor.”
“Why did the screen disappear?”
…
At this moment, cultivators with profound cultivation bases could clearly sense it.
They looked up at the sky and cried their eyes out, "Heavenly Emperor, this time he is really dead."
Previously, it was at least possible to sense the Heavenly Emperor’s soul fragment from the screen in the sky.
But now, everything has disappeared.
…
(Inside the Lingxiao Hall, Heavenly Palace)
"Master, stinky brother, ...come back to me."
Sensing the last bit of Lin Yan's breath disappear, Qian Linglong rushed out of the Lingxiao Palace like a madman.
Her figure bolted straight up into the sky and the terrifying aura belonging to the Eternal Realm powerhouse almost enveloped the majority of the Lingxuan continent.
Although they didn’t see the final destination of the Heavenly Emperor, however, they were all certain.
After all, there was only one place that the Heavenly Emperor could go, and that was the Bronze Gate.
"Gentlemen, isn't it time for us to find our master as well?"
Inside the Lingxiao Hall, Long Feijian and the others looked at each other with determination in their eyes.
Their figures, one by one, flew out into the sky and closely followed Qian Linglong.
The Demon Queen and many people who were initially located in the sky quickly converged on the side of Qian Linglong and appeared as well.
A powerful aura from Qian Linglong's Eternal realm impacted the space in the sky.
…
"If you want to save the Heavenly Emperor, count this old man in."
"Count me in as well."
"I used to hate the Heavenly Emperor ver much in the past. But after knowing the truth today, it is simply shameless to live without doing anything… Even if I was to use my life in exchange for the Heavenly Emperor’s, I’m willing!"
All over the Lingxuan continent, a powerful aura surged up.
Together, they rushed over to the Heavenly Palace with the same goal, to save the Heavenly Emperor.
Even many low-ranking cultivators and mortals of the Lingxuan Continent were silently praying to the Heavenly Emperor in their hearts at this instant.
The Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor.
Right now, the only resounded the entire Lingxuan Continent.
...
"The opinion of the people has changed. Now if I am resurrected, I will immediately become a hero in the hearts of all people."
No one knew.
Among those dissipated soul fragments in the sky.
Lin Yan's soul fragment was peering down at everything that was happening below the entire Lingxuan Continent.
Almost everyone was desperately trying to save the Heavenly Emperor.
Seeing the outcome of his compiling the past, he was quite satisfied.
He, the most notorious villain, was finally considered completely cleansed.
However, when his eyes shifted to the male protagonist, Lin Feng, who was still standing dumbfounded in the Heavenly Palace's Lingxiao Hall.
His heart was filled with unease.
"This is bad. The famous scene in the novel shouldn't be appearing now."
Just when Lin Yan was muttering in his heart, a radiant light suddenly appeared on Lin Feng's body inside the Heavenly Palace Lingxiao Hall.
Lin Feng's presence was like the sun, instantly shining on every part of the Lingxuan Continent.
Regardless of everyone’s cultivation bases, almost they could clearly see Lin Feng's figure at this moment.
It didn't end there. In the aftermath of the outbreak, Lin Feng's body experienced an even more astounding event.
