CHAPTER 397: CHAPTER 397: FORESHADOWING

No seeing you off!!

The words of the Yin Yang Sect Leader caught everyone slightly by surprise. Who would have thought that the leader of such a prestigious sect would disregard decorum to this extent.

You must understand.

People at this level, even if they dislike each other in private, always put on a smiling face in public.

They call it—poise!

A blunt eviction like this is truly rare.

This shows that even now, the Yin Yang Sect still doesn’t hold this young Celestial Lord in high regard.

After all, he’s just a Heavenly God!

"Farewell."

Qin Zi did not rise in anger but calmly summoned his chariot and left the Yin Yang Sect.

Thirty years east of the river, and another thirty years still in the east; before one has enough strength, there’s no need to be petty.

And at this moment.

Deep within the Yin Yang Sect, an elderly man in a black robe with white hair slowly opened his eyes, a flash of anger in his inscrutable gaze.

"Hmph, unappreciative! Does he really think that after returning to the Celestial Lord position, he can rest easy? If you can fall once, you can fall a second time! And not every time are you fortunate enough to climb back up!"

He had originally intended to make a leisure move, investing a bit in this Celestial Lord. Although he doubted the Celestial Lord would survive the great calamity, what if he did? The gratitude of extending help during hard times could have great returns.

This is called risk hedging!

But who would have known that this nominal Celestial Lord would be so arrogant, daring to refuse him with his mere Heavenly God Realm!

If that’s the case, let him fend for himself.

...

After leaving the Yin Yang Sect, Qin Zi did not linger outside and quickly returned to the Celestial Realm.

For some reason, he always felt like someone wanted him dead, making the outside world unsafe.

Only by returning to the Celestial Realm, to his father’s embrace, could he find that peerless sense of security.

"Did you break through?"

Qin Chuan saw Qin Zi return and asked with a smile.

"Yes! Not only that, I feel like I’ve found my own path." Qin Zi said excitedly.

"What path?"

Qin Chuan asked.

"Well... it’s hard to explain, but it’s like things suddenly became clear, the whole world looks different to me now."

Qin Zi scratched his head as he spoke.

Qin Chuan was greatly surprised. Could it be that this kid has opened the legendary Ren and Du Meridians? But that’s not emphasized in this world; such a thing is too basic for them.

However, he could indeed see that the kid had really changed after coming back, as if reborn.

"Father, I met someone in the Yin Yang Sect this time."

At this point, Qin Zi said seriously.

"Who?"

Qin Chuan asked, pretended not to know.

"Chu Zhongtian! The Young Master of the Eastern Domain Royal Family of the Chu Family on the Fragment Continent, this guy turned out to be a reincarnated giant!"

Qin Zi’s voice was very unsettled.

"Oh."

Qin Chuan said indifferently.

"You’re not at all surprised?!"

Qin Zi widened his eyes. His dad was way too calm about something that concerned a giant and someone they knew.

"What’s there to be surprised about? There are not a few giants around you; not mentioning far off, isn’t your master one?"

Qin Chuan said calmly.

Actually, he had already figured it out much earlier, that many seemingly coincidental things were not coincidences. Why did so many reincarnated big players end up meeting them? Because Qin Xiaozhu is the true chosen one.

The convergence of luck, the tides of the era, the entire world’s operation revolves around the protagonist of destiny, doesn’t it?

Therefore, he suspected.

Among the people they encountered, perhaps there wasn’t just one reincarnated big shot, not just two or three!

"This...this..."

Qin Zi was completely dumbfounded, suddenly feeling like he was surrounded by a group of major players.

Bewildered, shivering.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and asked, "Dad, did you know all this long ago?"

"Yes."

Qin Chuan nodded calmly, taking the opportunity to boast without effort is worth it.

Qin Zi stared intently at his father, breathing a bit heavily, and asked, "Dad...who exactly are you?"

His heart was racing with a mix of excitement and anticipation.

Because from all signs so far, his father seemed even more unfathomable than the big shots!

"I’m just your father, nothing else, at least in this realm, you won’t hear any stories of mine."

Qin Chuan looked up at the sky outside the window, his gaze distant as he said.

"You’re not from this realm?!"

Qin Zi was profoundly shocked, then seemed to remember something and mumbled to himself, "No wonder, no wonder..."

Qin Chuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

No wonder?

What is this kid thinking about now?

He had always supported the kid coming to his own conclusions, after all, making one’s own conclusions can be the most perilous.

But as time went by, especially after the event at the Divine Mountain, he found the kid seemed to know some things he himself didn’t.

A bit beyond his grasp.

Sometimes he even felt the kid had this bit of unfathomable nature, a touch of profound foolishness.

"Is this what they call the true chosen one?"

Qin Chuan felt a slight heaviness.

He suddenly remembered that many true chosen ones are initially under someone else’s control, but in the end, they always break free from that control.

Unfettered freedom is the true destiny of the chosen one!

Then, would he, trying to control the true chosen one, end up failing?

"Forget it, just go with the flow."

After a long while, he laughed in resignation.

Controlling everything may not be a good thing, because if you control everything, if you make one mistake, there will be no room for redemption!

Change is a form of uncertainty.

Sometimes it makes you fail miserably, but sometimes, it represents hope...

Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a violent rumbling from the sky, shaking the entire Celestial Realm.

"What’s happening?"

Qin Zi’s expression changed slightly.

"It’s the Forbidden Divine Mountain; a few more Forbidden Divine Mountains have returned."

Qin Chuan gazed deeply and said calmly.

"Will there be trouble?"

Qin Zi asked, a bit worried.

Qin Chuan chuckled meaningfully, "What are you afraid of? You’re the Celestial Lord, your status is a bit higher than theirs."

"But...what if they don’t acknowledge my position?" Qin Zi said with a bitter smile.

Qin Chuan’s smile faded, his brows showing a hint of dominance: "My son’s identity needs no one’s acknowledgment!"

"You mean?!"

Qin Zi’s eyes lit up, his breathing quickened.

Qin Chuan patted his son’s head and encouraged him: "Don’t overestimate them, they’re not as noble as you, because you are not only the Celestial Lord, but also...my son, Qin Chuan!"

Qin Zi felt his blood boiling.

He felt invigorated.

And Qin Chuan’s expression became more benevolent as he said: "Let me teach you a phrase, when a big shot arrives, you just say it, and they will naturally adjust their position."

"Listen well."

Qin Chuan took a deep breath, his visage dignified, his voice resonant and powerful: "To an emperor, do not bow, for destiny is gone, on the Reincarnation Stele your name is inked, each step a bow, half the sins on the road to rebirth are wiped, protecting your true spirit!"

This voice was too majestic, like the sound of heaven and earth, so grand and imposing that it made Qin Zi’s scalp tingle.

"Dad, this...this...isn’t it a bit too much?"

Qin Zi’s face turned red, embarrassed as he said.

This was a bit too flashy!

Even if he didn’t know the profound meaning behind these words, just from the literal expression, it was already a bit over the top.

Given his level of strength, saying such things made him feel embarrassed, even if others didn’t say anything.

"There’s nothing wrong with it, just do as I say." Qin Chuan’s expression was solemn, his words unequivocal.

Then, he added another line: "Xiao Zi, do you believe in your dad?"

"Ah??"

Qin Zi’s eyes widened, and his mouth gaped open—people familiar knew well, all was lost.

With these words, Qin Xiaozhu had no room to resist!
