Chapter 758 Reunion of Siblings

Chapter 758: Reunion of Brother and Sister

Time flew by like a weaver's shuttle; even a million years was but the snap of a finger to those at the level of Sacrificing the Dao.

Ever since Lin Fan and Shi Hao departed for distant lands, severing eternity and staving off the great war from beyond, countless years had passed without their return.

In Ancient Realms such as the Immortal Domain and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the mortal world gradually ceased recounting their legends, and even the memories of that era were buried.

Until one day, a figure descended upon the heavens silently, beyond anyone's perception or sight.

Lin Fan returned alone to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Taking in everything with a single gaze, his eyes brimmed with the vicissitudes of time and deep emotion.

"Years flow on endlessly, seas turn into mulberry fields. The homeland of old has changed drastically; it no longer resembles the scenes of yesteryear."

Lin Fan gazed at this Universe, this starry sky, and the severely battered, fragmented earth, his breath finally releasing into a soft sigh.

It could be said that the homeland today could no longer truly be called the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; it was far diminished from what it once was, amounting to merely a fraction.

For the war back then had been far too savage, shattering the Universe into pieces, plunging all living beings into misery, and breaking the Three Thousand Provinces apart as well.

Even though others later mended and evolved it, it still paled vastly in comparison to the past; at the very least, the continents had vanished, transforming into isolated planets.

This Realm had also fallen into the Era of Dharma Decline—Spiritual Qi was depleted, Inheritances were severed, and even a Human Dao Supreme could live for merely ten thousand years or so.

Lin Fan shifted his gaze, taking in the entire Universe. His eyes locked onto an ancient star, azure blue on the outside, with more than half of its surface covered by ocean.

"Interesting. After the Wasteland shattered, it turned into Earth. Could there be some unknown Karma at work in the dark?" he murmured softly.

Beyond that, he also discovered several intriguing matters on this planet—it had once been artificially evolved.

Not only had he quietly visited before, but Shi Hao had also been here, even constructing a Reincarnation Road deep within Earth.

"Brother Emperor Bone, it had to be you. You were told to guard the home, yet you left your dark side behind to serve as a beacon for your eventual return while your true body went out fooling around."

Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. With his extraordinary vision, it was naturally easy to discern that this planet was currently caught in a cycle of self-Samsara.

All of this was orchestrated by the Dark Immortal Emperor!

However, he had no intention of intervening to stop it, as he had returned to his homeland without wanting to disturb a single soul.

One had to realize that most of his combat power had been transferred to a Clone, which was currently locked in a standoff against the Ominous Progenitors within the River of Time.

Now that his true self had arrived here, he naturally had to conceal his tracks. If discovered by the enemy, this entire Realm would be cast into mortal peril.

Yet the reason he took the risk to return at this point in time was that there was one matter he simply had to do.

"Little sister… Era after era has passed, and I have finally found you again in this boundless mortal world."

Lin Fan murmured, tears shimmering in his eyes. He turned his gaze toward a Starfield known as Beidou, and with a single thought, descended upon it.

This place was far from simple and held an extraordinary history; tracing back to the Chaotic Ancient era, it was a remnant territory left after the shattering of the Three Thousand Provinces.

As for the present, the world called it the Emperor Burial Star, where a multitude of Human Dao Supremes and Ancient Sovereigns who had slashed themselves lay in slumber.

Of course, to Lin Fan, these scoundrels were merely ants that could be extinguished with a single breath, hardly worth any of his attention.

After all, the heights they occupied were entirely different; they were beings of two distinct dimensions, and the life and death of all creation lay within a single thought of his.

Unknown to the world, in a certain decisive battle against the ominous, the All Heavens and Myriad Domains had once been shattered and annihilated.

Back then, he and Shi Hao had joined hands, sparing no cost to reflect a grand era from antiquity and bring the deceased back to life.

Beidou, Lin Fan has arrived!

Across the vast land, mountains and rivers stretched out magnificently, and myriad races multiplied. Though not as flourishing as during the Chaotic Ancient era, certain races had nevertheless managed to survive.

After millions of years of transformation, the Primordial Myriad Races had faded into obscurity, and the Human Race had become the masters of Beidou, dispersed across every region.

In the Eastern Wastelands, even an inconspicuous little town was brimming with bustle and excitement, crowded with horses and carriages, filled with the continuous shouts of peddlers.

"candied hawthorns, big and sweet, only one copper coin for a skewer!"

"Crispy chicken wings, if they aren't delicious you don't pay a penny—"

"Li Family soup dumplings, thin wrapper and generous filling, juicy and flavorful, come have a taste—"

Along both sides of the street, merchants of all kinds hawked their wares, while street performers did tricks at the corners, surrounded by crowds of adults and children.

Lin Fan's thoughts churned with endless memories; after countless ages, suddenly returning to such a vibrant, crowded scene deeply moved him.

He was, in the end, no longer the youth of old!

"Brother… I'm so hungry. When are you coming back? Nannan misses you so much…"

Right at that moment, in a corner of the street, a filthy, pitiful little girl was blinking her large eyes, swallowing her saliva.

Lin Fan noticed her, and his eyes instantly turned red. Even though he had reached a Supreme Realm, he still could not hold back his tears.

A little girl of four or five years old—it was hard to imagine how tenaciously she had survived after losing the elder brother she depended on for her very life.

"Little… sister!" Lin Fan choked up, calling out in a trembling voice.

The little girl froze and slowly lifted her head. Catching sight of the person before her, even though he had undergone some changes, she recognized him at a single glance.

"Brother!" Nannan called out softly. Tears instantly streamed down from her pair of clear, bright eyes as she stared blankly at Lin Fan.

At this moment, the lonely, helpless little girl was overcome with overwhelming excitement and joy, as though welcoming the dawn of hope.

*Whoosh!*

In the next instant, brother and sister moved at the same time. Wearing ragged shoes, little Nannan stretched her small legs and dashed forward.

Lin Fan also knelt down, embracing the sister who had waited through hundreds and thousands of lifetimes.

At this very moment, the Universe seemed to cease operating, time no longer flowed, and between heaven and earth, it felt as though only the two siblings existed!

"Brother, where did you go? Nannan waited for you for so long. I thought… sob… I would never see you again."

Little Nannan sobbed, clutching Lin Fan tightly, burying her little head in his chest as she poured out everything.

There was bitterness, there was sorrow, and there was also the joy of reunion, smiling through her tears…

"I'm sorry, little sister. It was Brother who failed to take good care of you, making you suffer so much bitterness and wander all alone."

Lin Fan was filled with guilt as his large hand gently wiped away the grime on her face, revealing an endearing little visage.

The little girl shook her head and reached up to wipe Lin Fan's tears as well, saying in a crisp voice, "Nannan doesn't feel bitter. As long as Brother is here, I'm completely satisfied."

"Don't worry, Brother won't leave ever again. I will stay by your side forever," Lin Fan said with a smile, holding her small hand as brilliant misty light welled up.

At that moment, the tattered clothes on Nannan vanished, replaced by a magnificent treasure garment.

"It's so warm!" Nannan marveled in wonder. Originally beset by cold and hunger, her starvation and chill vanished completely, replaced by a soothing warmth throughout her body.

Moreover, she sensed that while her brother seemed to have changed considerably, she could still recognize that this was truly the family member she depended on for life.

Even if millions of years passed and hundreds of Samsara cycles turned, she would never forget that this was the most important elder brother she had in the world!

Following that, Lin Fan took her away beyond all worlds, to a Realm belonging solely to the two siblings.
