Chapter 730 Illuminating the Heavens

Chapter 730: Reflecting the Heavens

At this moment, Lin Fan gazed into the future, wanting to investigate his own origins, yet discovered a blank void, shrouded in heavy mist.

This shocked him. He had to know, he was an Immortal Emperor now, looking into his own past, so how could it be like this?

"Something is wrong. It's not like I popped out of a rock, right?" Lin Fan mused, speaking half-jokingly.

Even more bizarre was that his younger sister, whom he had found here back then, also had origins shrouded in mist, impossible to investigate.

The brother and sister seemed to have appeared out of thin air, with no parents, rootless people!

Lin Fan was alarmed. His own special situation might be explained—having Transmigration into this world—but what the hell was up with his sister?

Was she also a Transmigration practitioner?

It didn't seem like it…

"Am I truly a Transmigration practitioner from another world, or is it that…" Lin Fan's thoughts were in turmoil, feeling increasingly confused.

Subsequently, he continued to trace the past and saw himself as a child, young and reckless, with lofty ambitions!

At that time, he yearned for cultivation, yearned for Immortal Ascension and becoming an ancestor, always thinking of spreading his wings like a Kunpeng to fight for a sky of his own.

But now that he had achieved it? He had lost too much, and it wasn't as happy as he had imagined; he was ultimately no longer his former self.

Looking further ahead, he saw his young sister, the little one affectionately calling him brother, happy and laughing endlessly.

It was at that moment that he felt a sense of belonging to this world for the first time, wanting to protect this adorable sister of his.

"That was the happiest time of my life!" Lin Fan sighed with emotion.

For some reason, he was crying now; an Immortal Emperor was shedding tears here.

As a child, although he was in a strange world, the villagers who raised him treated him well, and later, he even had his sister.

They were like a beam of light, illuminating the darkness in Lin Fan's heart.

Afterward, he wiped the tears from his face, turned, and left, unable to bear watching what would happen next.

It was a catastrophe, the most painful and helpless moment of his life.

A great battle destroyed his warm harbor, causing him to lose his family overnight and become a lone soul.

Even though he had now become an Emperor, his heart felt a pang of pain; he did not want to face it again, hoping that the beauty would remain at that moment forever.

Lin Fan walked along the River of Time, seeing himself driven mad for revenge, no longer happy, and also saw Qing Yao…

At that time, the two of them met at the wrong time and had the wrong things happen, leading to a separation of two hundred thousand years.

Fortunately, they eventually reunited, and the two even had a daughter, Lin Cherish.

Lin Fan left and went to the Nine Heavens, seeing the Holy Emperor Palace he had created with his own hands, as well as subordinates like Supreme Ning Yu.

He also saw himself risking Immortal Ascension, but unfortunately, he failed that time, intercepted by beings in the black mist.

However, fortunately, he ultimately survived with difficulty; after paying a certain price, his Primordial Spirit split, and he was reborn.

Somewhat humiliatingly, that girl Ye Qingxian actually took advantage of his weakness to make him her little brother, flicking his little bird—it was simply turning the world upside down!

Thinking back on it now, his old face flushed red.

"That damned girl is truly audacious!" Lin Fan's face darkened, preparing to educate her personally when he met her true self in the future.

Next, he watched from afar as his younger self was reborn, carrying a different life to experience.

In that lifetime, he met Yue Chan and Qing Yi, and even went to the Lower Realm's Stone Village, encountering Willow Deity, Shi Hao, and the others.

At the same time, Shi Hao was also there; he was likewise tracing the past. After the two nodded at each other, they separated again.

Lin Fan followed the River of Time, returning to the Three Thousand Provinces, seeing former acquaintances once again: the Witch, Qing Xian, Feng Wu, Jin Chan, Emperor Chong, Li Yuncong, and Big Black Dog…

Not long after, he went to the Nine Heavens again and saw some old friends: Xu Chengdao, Lan Xin, Lan Xian, Zhi Li, and Purple Sun Heavenly Lord…

These beings, some were friends, some were enemies, but most had passed away, and some he had even killed with his own hands.

Former laughter, former hostility, former glory, former emotions… in the end, all were buried.

"Sigh…"

Lin Fan let out a long sigh, standing in the River of Time, feeling somewhat melancholy and sorrowful, which finally turned into silence.

He knew that some things, some endings, could no longer be changed; even if he returned to the past, he could not find that feeling again.

Therefore, like a ghost, he wandered through the River of Time, looking at one vivid face after another, as if walking alongside them.

However, those were ultimately events of the past, flowing away like water, never to return. Even an Immortal Emperor has moments of helplessness…

Lin Fan reminisced, laughing again and again, sighing again and again, crying again and again; his emotions rose and fell, containing both joy and sorrow.

It was not until a long time later that he wiped away his tears and walked toward the more distant eons: the Immortal Ancient… Emperor Fall…

Shi Hao had also come.

This time, besides wanting to explore some secrets, the two also wanted to reflect the heavens from the past and resurrect some people.

Arriving at Emperor Fall, at the Dam in the Boundary Sea, where their gazes landed, they saw a faint pair of footprints left behind by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor of the past.

This predecessor, who knew he would surely die yet remained detached and free, still set out on the road to fight to the death.

Unfortunately, in that era, no one could advance with him; he had to face the siege of several Quasi-Immortal Emperors, leading to his death and the dissipation of his Dao.

"Boom!"

Finally, Lin Fan and Shi Hao took action. Before the Emperor of the Footprints died, they used supreme Emperor techniques to intercept a shadow of him from the River of Time.

This time, he was also an object that needed to be resurrected.

However, this was equivalent to defying the heavens to change fate, and they would inevitably have to endure the backlash of great Karma; not even an Immortal Emperor was an exception.

"Pfft!"

Sure enough, both Lin Fan and Shi Hao turned pale, and it took a long time for them to gradually recover.

This was the result of the two of them bearing it together; otherwise, it would be unimaginable, as they were, after all, resurrecting a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

After finishing all this, the two continued forward along the River of Time, this time intending to go to the era where Brother Emperor Bone was.

They wanted to know what had happened back then that caused an unparalleled Immortal Emperor to be contaminated by darkness.

It was just that it involved beings of the same level, making deduction extremely difficult, but fortunately, the Corpse Immortal Emperor was already dead, having been defeated by the two of them.

They deduced, they moved forward, through hundreds of millions of years, era after era…

"Boom!"

Finally, the two found the not-yet-fallen Brother Emperor Bone, but his current state was not very good, his whole body dripping with blood.

Lin Fan and Shi Hao also saw that he had fallen out from deep within the Ultimate Ancient Land, from a hole in the firmament, looking very disheveled.

On his chest was a hideous claw mark, not knowing what kind of being had left it.

Most terrifying was that there was a mysterious power in his wound, constantly eroding Brother Emperor Bone, like maggots on bones, impossible to drive away.

Even his Primordial Spirit had been partially contaminated, turning pitch black, moving from holiness toward the ominous and the bizarre.

Lin Fan and Shi Hao were stunned; was this the reason that caused him to fall into darkness?

"Who is spying on this Emperor?"

Brother Emperor Bone suddenly spoke, sitting on a huge stone chair, his eyes flashing with Dao symbols, staring into the years.

As fellow Immortal Emperors, even if they were not in the same space-time, he could still sense that someone was spying on him from the past.

"Crack!"

At this moment, the River of Time shook and appeared, and Lin Fan and Shi Hao stepped from the future into the past, descending into this space-time.

The two had come to investigate the truth, so naturally, there was no need to hide.
