“So it’s my own mental world. But why is there a light here?”

Thinking about it, Zong Shou smiled as he walked over. Understanding where he was meant that he didn’t have any hesitation left.

An image appeared, looking like he did in his last life. With just a thought, he drew close to that glow.

It was a giant blue light, he couldn’t see exactly what was inside, the ripples that it released terrified him.

What Zong Shou cared about most at that moment was a person not far away. He was around thirteen years old, his face even more beautiful than girls. It was the appearance of Zong Shou, whose body he had occupied.

He stood in front of the glow, looking over, his expression surprisingly calm, “You are here. I have been waiting for you.”

Zong Shou smiled, walking over in front of the teen, and waved his hand. Instantly a tea table, a glass of clear wine and a few wine glasses appeared.

This was in his mental world and could be considered a dream, so naturally he could do anything that he wanted.

Directly sitting down, Zong Shou poured wine while making a “please sit” motion, smiling, “You are Zong Shou? Don’t just stand there, sit down and let’s talk...”

What was weird was that that teen was born from the royal race. Be it attire or looks, he was top class. Zong Shou’s face was just slightly handsome, and he was wearing a really ordinary green shirt.

However at that moment, he was even more like a prince than that teen. His shirt was ordinary, but his aura was magnificent. His actions were casual, but they seemed really elegant.

He should be much more lackluster than the teen, but the latter was like trying to compare fireflies to the night sky, the two couldn’t even be compared to one another.

That teen was slightly unsettled, but didn’t reject it, sitting down in front of Zong Shou, picking up the wine glass and drinking. He only felt that it was really delicious and didn’t know how Zong Shou made it.

Finishing it in one mouthful, the teen hesitated for a while before speaking. “Since I fell unconscious that day, I have been wanting to meet you.”

Zong Shou nodded slightly, continuing to drink the wine, replying without a care, “You want this body back?”

If this teen wants it, he really didn’t care. It wasn’t his and he had no need to forcibly occupy it.

Even if the current him still wanted to live, and still wanted to see what the world ten thousand years ago was like.

He originally thought that the owner of the body had died. However, since his consciousness was still here, he felt a little embarrassed.

Naturally he didn’t have thoughts to end his life. As long as his soul existed, there would definitely be a way for him to continue living.

However who knew that the kid would directly shake his head, “You obtained all thirteen years of my memory, I am naturally able to see your past life experiences. I know that you came from ten thousand years in the future, and in your last life you were known as Tanqiu. In the God Emperor game you were called the Sword Emperor, and be it in the virtual world or real world you gave all sects a headache...”

Zong Shou couldn’t help but smile. To say that he gave them a headache was too appropriate.

However in the eyes of the true experts who stood at the top of the martial path or spiritual cultivation, that him could only cause them to slightly notice, no different from a fly.

“At the start I really wanted to get back my body, but in the end I didn’t have such a thought...” the teen said softly, his tone really calm, as if the matter he was talking about didn’t refer to him.

“I know that you in your last life were like me, even tougher than the life I had, without an identity and without a father that could protect you. Your chakra had collapsed and your difficulty in cultivation was no weaker than mine.

“However, in the end, you stood out from the rest. Even in such a desperate situation you were able to stand up and go all out to grow up into a huge tree that could control your destiny. Me, on the other hand, only knew how to blame the heavens and blame others. You should know that the last two years in Linhai College, I had already given up. If it wasn’t for the motivation from my father’s disappearance, I wouldn’t have taken the risk.”

Zong Shou kept silent. This fellow was a resilient and determined person, only the last two years made him look down on him.

Since he was born as a man, then even if you are ground into the dirt you must have the resilience to pick yourself up.

However, looking at how depressed this fellow was, Zong Shou wasn’t prepared to say that to hurt his feelings.

“After I learned that even if I didn’t die, there would be a day when someone chopped my head off and placed my body out for all to see. My father would also become enemies with the Lingyun Sect because of me and die early. I also know that our monster race will be wiped out one by one in the future millenia.”

As he said that, the teen mocked himself, “So why not just give my body to you. At least what you can do is much more than I can.”

Zong Shou’s face didn’t show any joy. He knew that the teen hadn’t finished what he wanted to say. In this world, there weren’t any free lunches.

“You going to Cloud Saint City isn’t only for the spiritual herbs there, you also want to avoid the battle for Gantian Mountain, right? You don’t care for the position of Monster King, right?”

The teen smiled bitterly, his voice becoming weaker and weaker, “I know my ability, even now with all your memories, I don’t dare to say that I can change my fate and break through the Bodily Chakra Meridians. I don’t have any other requests. Gantian Mountain is the hard work of my father and I don’t want it to fall into the hands of others. I only want my father and my mother that I haven’t seen to be able to live on peacefully. These are my last wishes...”

Zong Shou didn’t care much about the words he said before as he peacefully drank his wine. Only when he heard the last two sentences did his emotions change.

In the next moment, he frowned slightly. The consciousness of the teen slowly faded, merging into his soul. Not only did his voice get weaker, his body faded away. Zong Shou wanted to stop him, but he had no way to do so.

Zong Shou was at a loss and didn’t know what he should do.

Freely roaming around the Cloud World and reading all the books, wasn’t that the best thing?

Giving out a long sigh, Zong Shou looked at the side, towards that giant blue glow.

“Oi! Let me ask, what is inside that glow? Why does the light look so scary?”

“This? I am not sure. When I awakened this thing was already here. You brought this here, so why you asking me?”

That teen smiled, his expression indiscernible. “Anyways sooner or later you will know. You will also know that I am you and you are me,the two of us are actually one body...”

Zong Shou’s brow was tightly furrowed.

When he awakened that thing was already here? This “awakened”, did it refer to after he occupied the body?

He brought it here? How was that possible?

Also what was with that ‘I am you, you are me, we both are one body’ mess?

Why did those words sound so ambiguous, making his body shiver and his hairs stand on end.

When he wanted to ask some more, the body of the teen had already disappeared.

In the next moment, waves of hatred, unwillingness, anger, fear, and eagerness flooded into his chest.

Zong Shou knew that these were all the emotions of the teen. Although they weren’t his, but who knew why, he felt the exact same way...
