Chapter 2570: Sacrificial Love
Chapter 2570: Sacrificial Love
The memories came in fragments at first, like shards of a broken mirror reflecting glimpses of a life long forgotten.
Yun Lintian saw himself as a young boy, standing in the grand courtyard of a magnificent
estate. The air was filled with the scent of blooming flowers, and the sound of laughter echoed in the distance.
A tall, imposing man with sharp features and an air of authority stood before him. His father -Yun Wuhan, the patriarch of the Yun Clan.
"Lintian," his father's voice was deep and commanding, yet there was a warmth in his eyes. "Remember, the path of a cultivator is not just about strength. It's about responsibility. You are the future of the Yun Clan. Never forget that."
Yun Lintian felt a surge of pride and determination as he nodded. "I won't, Father."
The scene shifted, and he found himself in a grand hall, surrounded by five elderly figures. They exuded an aura of immense power, their eyes filled with wisdom and authority. These were the Five Ancestors of the Yun Clan, led by Yun Tianlong, the eldest and most revered among them.
"The Yun Clan has stood for millennia," Yun Tianlong said, his voice echoing with the weight of history. "We are the guardians of balance, the protectors of the realm. Remember this, Lintian. Your destiny is intertwined with the fate of this world."
The memories continued to flood in, each one more vivid than the last.
He saw himself training under the watchful eyes of his mother, a woman of unparalleled grace and beauty. She was the Saintess of the Misty Cloud Palace, a figure revered across the realm.
"Son, I finally see you again." She said softly. Her voice was gentle but firm.
Yun Lintian felt a deep sense of longing as he watched her. His mother's presence was both comforting and inspiring, and he realized how much he had missed her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The memories shifted again, this time to the grand palace of the Divine Moon Clan.
Yun Lintian saw Yue Lan and Yue Hong, the twin Moon Gods of the Divine Moon Clan. They were ethereal and radiant, their presence like the gentle glow of the moon on a clear night. They stood together, their bond unbreakable, a symbol of unity and strength.
The flood of memories intensified, and Yun Lintian felt as if he were reliving an entire lifetime.
Inside the cave, Yun Lintian saw himself sitting there with Yun Wushuang by his side.
He saw the final moments before his memories were sealed. His parents, standing before him, their faces filled with love and sorrow.
"Lintian," his mother said, her voice trembling. "This is the only way to protect you."
His father looked at him with love as he spoke. "It's my fault that I can't give you a peaceful life."
At this moment, a spatial rift emerged and a tall, handsome man emerged from it. Yun Lintian immediately recognized the person right away. He was none other than the Beyond Heaven King - Yun Tian!
Yun Tian looked at Yun Lintian gently and turned to Yun Wushuang and Yun Wuhan. "Junior Yun Tian pays his respects to the God of Life and the God of Elements."
Yun Wushuang nodded gently and asked. "Are you ready?"
Yun Tian responded calmly. "Yes. It's time to fulfill fate."
Yun Wushuang stepped forward and kissed Yun Lintian's head. "Mom will always love you." Then, Yun Lintian saw everything. The way they created the Beyond Heaven King's Crown and sent it back to the very first timeline of Yun Tian. The way Yun Wushuang transformed Yun Tian into himself and how she transformed him into a baby.
Yun Wushuang stepped forward and kissed his forehead. "Mom will always love you."
With that, Yun Wuhan took the infant away and disappeared into the passage of time along with Yun Ling.
From then on, Yun Lintian's memory finally connected to his time back on Earth. It turned out his father took him to Earth afterward.
Yun Lintian gasped as the flood of memories subsided, his body trembling as he struggled to process everything he had seen.
He fell to his knees, his mind reeling. The names echoed in his thoughts-Yun Wuhan, Yun Tianlong, Tantai Lanling, Yue Lan, Yue Hong, and his mother, the Saintess of the Misty Cloud Palace. These were the people who had shaped his life, the people he had forgotten. "Father... Mother..." he murmured, his voice filled with a mixture of grief and longing. "I remember... I remember everything."
Yun Ling knelt beside him, her expression filled with compassion. "It's a lot to take in, I know. But you must understand, Young Master. Your memories were sealed to protect you. The Lord of Chaos sought to destroy you, and your parents did what they had to do to keep you safe." Yun Lintian looked up at her, his eyes filled with determination. "Why now? Why reveal this to me now?"
Yun Ling's gaze was steady. "Because the time has come. The Lord of Chaos is rising again, and you are the only one who can stop him. But to do that, you must reclaim your true power. You must remember who you are."
Yun Lintian nodded slowly and asked. "The Lord of Chaos... Could he be...?"
"Yes. He's the God of Time, Nian Shi," Yun Ling replied firmly.
Yun Lintian finally understood everything. "So, he's the same Nian Shi in that timeline?"
"Not exactly," Yun Ling said softly. "As a God of Time, Nian Shi has his existence in every timeline, and some of them have been destroyed by your parents and the other Primordial Gods. His ultimate goal is to absorb all the power of the Primordial Gods in every timeline and become a new Creator."
Yun Lintian was shocked by Nian Shi's grand scheme.
"My parents... They are doing this...?" he asked uncertainly.
"You are our last hope, Young Master. You are the seed of fate that the God of Fate has found," Yun Ling said softly. "In order to avoid the God of Time's perception, the God of Fate and your parents came up with such a plan to let you grow in secret."
Yun Lintian nodded slowly. "So, the Beyond Heaven King...?"
"Yes," Yun Ling nodded. "As a successor of the God of Fate, Yun Tian has long known his lifelong duty, that is to be your substitute, to deceive the God of Time, buying time for you as
much as possible."
Yun Lintian's body trembled slightly. His eyes widened in shock and sorrow. He didn't expect Yun Tian to sacrifice everything for him like this...
