Chapter 218 Sprout Forever
The borderlands of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the Shunke Star Region.
On a planet filled with blue-green plants.
Ye Yang's second human clone, wandering the universe, opened its eyes: "Life?"
"The final piece of the puzzle I seek—the state of mind I long for—lies in these small yet great things."
Ye Yang stroked the green grass beneath him, lost in thought.
Life is a miracle of the universe, a treasure!
Without life, even if the universe has countless stars and planets, it would still be a desolate wasteland.
The birth and growth of life contain boundless power.
"I've got the inspiration; now it's just a matter of observing the birth, emergence, and growth of all sorts of different life forms."
"Plants, animals, microorganisms, and humans—we should all observe them carefully—."
In the depths of the Cloud Palace within the Divine Origin Secret Realm, in the palace of "Warm Wind".
"I—wasn't I killed?"
Liu Cai felt as if she had awakened from a long slumber.
He didn't have much experience with "sleeping," but his most vivid memory was being welcomed by his elders right after he was born and taken home by his beloved "Wenfeng."
And his current feelings are like those of the moment immediately after his birth.
"Congratulations on starting a new life." A wisp of telepathy reached out and conveyed these words to Liu Cai.
"Huh?!" Liu Cai was startled by this unfamiliar consciousness. As soon as she sensed it with her soul power, she immediately discovered that an enormous monster was lying next to her!
"A real alien race!!!" Liu Cai was shocked and quickly distanced herself.
"Don't worry, I'm not your enemy." If Ye Yang were speaking to this newly born White Cloud Clan member in a human form,
They will definitely be met with hostility.
After all, in their memory, it was humans who destroyed their race and killed all its members.
However, what Ye Yang appeared before Liu Cai was the avatar of the first-generation Golden Horned Beast. Therefore, apart from being startled at first, Liu Cai did not lose control of her emotions.
"It seems you're unaware of the current situation, so let me explain it to you," Ye Yang said with a smile.
He quickly explained the current situation of the Cloud Palace to Liu Cai, and the two introduced themselves to each other.
Ye Yang calls himself "Ming Hong", and since he has seen Liu Cai's memories, he naturally knows Liu Cai's name.
"How could this be—" After hearing everything Ye Yang said, Liu Cai was greatly shocked. He manipulated his cloud body to leave the palace, only to see countless white cloud races wandering around him unconsciously.
They have all lost their souls.
Then Liu Cai started crackling with electricity, and he was crying.
"Liu Cai, I regret to inform you that the original Liu Cai died countless years ago. The current you..."
"It's a new life I nurtured using the 'Cloud Core'."
Ye Yang stated directly, "So you are a completely new life, a new Liu Cai, not an old Liu Cai."
"Although you have taken over Liu Cai's body and possess her original memories, your soul is already different. So I congratulate you on gaining a brand new life; your life is brand new."
"It's cruel, but that's the truth—"
Liu Cai looked confused: "Is this real?"
"Then what am I, exactly?"
Ye Yang said, "You inherited everything from Liu Cai, so you can say you are his descendant."
"So you can also call yourself 'Ryūiro II'."
As Ye Yang continued to spend time with and observe the creature, he wanted to confirm the difference between this "resurrected" Liu Cai and ordinary intelligent life. Time passed day by day, and soon three months had gone by.
After three months of getting to know each other, Liu Cai had developed a certain level of trust in Ye Yang. During these three months, Ye Yang also keenly observed the changes in Liu Cai.
"As expected, there are still differences. Even with the same body and the same memories, the soul is different, and certain traits have changed."
Ye Yang thought to himself, "From the memories I've observed of Liu Cai before, this is a very lively, curious, and proactive member of the Baiyun Clan."
"But nowadays, he has gradually become dull and introverted."
While it cannot be ruled out that the result was caused by drastic environmental changes, Ye Yang still believes that this is a manifestation of the soul's true nature gradually being revealed after the "inertia" of "memory" has ended.
Ripples of soul energy spread across the rooftop.
"Ball spins~ Ball spins~ Soft and bouncy magnetic field" Liu Cai sang the nursery rhyme that his family often sang with him using the power of his soul.
Ye Yang sat with Liu Cai on the rooftop, watching countless aimless clouds drift by. He knew that Liu Cai must be feeling incredibly lonely right now.
It's like a biohazard outbreak where everyone in the world is infected and turned into zombies, leaving only one surviving human, the loneliness of sitting on a rooftop—
Ye Yang glanced at the direction of the center of the Cloud Palace. Although it was shrouded in clouds, he could still vaguely see the dark shadow of a tall building.
As a member of the White Cloud Clan, Liu Cai was naturally able to envelop Ye Yang, protecting him from attacks by other White Cloud Clan corpses and allowing him to reach the center.
Ye Yang had considered exploring the central area of the Cloud Palace in this way, but ultimately did not implement it.
Because the risks are too great, and it is very likely that it will be a thankless task.
With the precedent of Liu Cai's "resurrection," Ye Yang was basically certain that the biggest secret of the Cloud Palace was related to the "resurrection" of the White Cloud Clan.
But for Ye Yang, there was no benefit worth the risk.
The Cloud Core cannot "revive" the White Cloud Clan at the Domain Lord level or above, and the White Cloud Clan has been forever lost to history.
Let this city of death of the White Cloud Clan remain forever shrouded in mystery and tranquility, sleeping eternally.
On a certain planet in the Shunke Starfield.
Ye Yang's second human clone wandered to this place.
Having just finished observing a group of human children playing, he walked through the alley.
Mischievous kids had stuffed all sorts of random things into the cracks in the walls on both sides of the alley.
One of them was a seed from a vine-like plant.
Ye Yang suddenly stopped and stared intently at the seed.
Nourished by the rain, its interior is quietly undergoing changes.
Residents passing by Ye Yang would naturally brush past him, as if he were just part of the alleyway scenery and wouldn't attract any attention at all.
Ye Yang remained motionless. As the days passed, the seed gradually cracked open, and the tender shoot pushed open the two kernels on both sides, emerging from the crack.
It quickly grew and developed roots, clinging to the wall and the cracks between the bricks.
Ye Yang blinked his eyelids, which hadn't moved for a long time, and looked up at the sky: "I see."
Mood is a very mysterious thing; it is not a state that can be precisely described.
Unlike other forms of cultivation, the cultivation of one's state of mind is unrelated to the length of one's cultivation journey.
Hong cultivated for only a hundred or two hundred years, yet his state of mind reached a transcendent level. Even those immortals who had cultivated for countless epochs might not be able to match Hong's state of mind.
At this moment, Ye Yang took a crucial step in his life in the blink of an eye.
In just a few seconds, his entire demeanor subtly changed, and in addition to that powerful, absolute confidence, there was a small yet inexhaustible burst of vitality.
Is it problematic to use the "future" as an anchor for one's mindset?
Ye Yang laughed loudly, answering his own question, "No problem, absolutely no problem!"
Even if a seedling has countless possibilities of dying along the way, does that prevent it from continuing to sprout and grow?
It will still move forward steadfastly toward the future.
99.99% of people will become ordinary, but does that prevent them from being full of passion in their childhood and adolescence?
Ye Yang felt a surge of life through the flowing colors of rebirth and through that instantaneous tremor of his soul.
This inspired him to consider his questions from the perspective of "life".
Ye Yang realized that his doubts about using the "future" as a mental anchor stemmed from his concern about the gap between "reality" and "expectations."
The fear that failure to achieve one's desired future will cause a mental breakdown.
Through understanding life, he realized that the value of "expectation" lies in "expectation" itself.
The brilliance of life is manifested in the process of "pursuing the future".
Using the "future" as an anchor point for his mindset is just right for him.
"If I had to describe this state of mind in one sentence, I would say with a smile to myself."
"May it sprout forever!"
Deep within the Cloud Palace.
Ye Yang, who was observing the sea of clouds, suddenly had a bright and unusual gleam in his eyes.
"Liu Cai, it's time for us to say goodbye," he suddenly said.
"Minghong, what did you say?" Liu Cai was taken aback. Over the past four months, he had grown accustomed to the presence of this behemoth, 'Minghong'.
I've already considered Minghong a friend.
In this desolate world, this was the only person he could communicate with.
Ye Yang shook his head and said in a low voice:
"I've already told you all my speculations about the cloud core and the tower."
"My final piece of advice is this: the outside world is already under human rule. Do not expose yourself, and do not think of resisting. You will not have the power to escape the Cloud Palace until you become a Cosmic Sovereign."
"Take responsibility for your new life!"
Ye Yang still hoped that this life, which was born from him, could survive.
After all, the birth of the Flowing Color inspired Ye Yang, allowing him to achieve a major breakthrough in his mental cultivation.
However, the White Cloud Clan is, after all, an enemy of the human race, and Liu Cai must also harbor a deep-seated hatred for humans.
Just because Ye Yang isn't killing him now doesn't mean he'll hold back later.
"I only hope that this parting will be the last time we meet," Ye Yang thought to himself.
Boom!
The enormous beast's body suddenly collapsed, and the soul within its core dissipated, causing its inner world to crumble and disintegrate.
Meanwhile, the first human clone, which had been hiding in a building not far away, also lost its life force.
"Akihiro?"
"Minghong——"
Only the crackling of lightning remained inside the palace.
In the world of the Immortal Alliance Master, in a quiet room.
Ye Yang's eyelashes fluttered slightly as he opened his eyes and reached out to pat the dust off his body.
The third True Nirvana was successful!
