Thirty years later.

Ye Chen left the Beijing Division, and the position of the National Teacher was also given up by him. No one knows where he has come in the past thirty years, even Amu, who still had a rivalry with him in the past, gave up.

He abandoned all the glory of mortal dust and returned to Xinghezhuang with his old servant.

This is where he was born.

Now Ye Chen is no longer as immature as he once was, he looks like an old man, although his appearance is still young, but his heart is already old.

"Young master, the house has been cleared. ”

The one-eyed old servant has been promoted to the level of Dou Sheng, and in the previous God Dynasty, he was at least at the ancestor level, but now he is just an ordinary old servant by Ye Chen's side.

"You go and rest, too. ”

"Yes. ”

The one-eyed old servant answered, and withdrew.

Ye Chen walked through the dilapidated house in front of him and walked to the backyard. This is where he lived as a child. As he walked, the dilapidated house seemed to have been reversed in time and space, returning to the scene of more than a hundred years ago. At that time, Ye Chen was still an ignorant child, and his happiest time was when he hid in the backyard to play alone after reciting poetry and books. Occasionally, his mother saw him reprimanded, but after his mother reprimanded him, he would always give him some delicious food. The one who fears me the most is my father. If he was caught by his father, the reprimand would be light, and that stern face was the memory that Ye Chen was most afraid of in his childhood.

But these have been diluted by time.

I don't know when it started, but the most frightened faces in the depths of my memory have become a little blurred. Today's Ye Chen has become the strongest person in the world, standing in the position of the former Emperor Soul Tiangang. But instead of feeling happy, he felt a little lonely.

Push open the door to the study.

Under the power of Ye Chen, the study took on the appearance of more than a hundred years ago. In the study, a stern middle-aged man was sitting there reprimanding the disobedient boy below.

"I know about fighting crickets all day long, what will I do when I grow up in the future?

"Dad, I know it's wrong. ”

The memories I feared the most when I was a child became the most heartwarming picture.

Past the backyard, there was a tree here.

The tree was planted when Ye Chen was ten years old, and now it has grown into a towering tree. Walking under the tree, you can vaguely see the scratches left on the tree. It was left by his sword practice when he was a teenager, and now these sword marks have grown into old scars, which are deeply engraved on the body of the old tree, and they grow old with time.

Behind it is the cliff of Xinghezhuang.

Ye Chen remembered that he jumped from here that night. Time has been deceived, and the sight of a hundred years ago has resurfaced. This is the most profound day in Ye Chen's life, even after a hundred years, he still remembers it clearly. That was the day when he recognized his father for the first time, understood his father's painstaking efforts, and his own naivety.

Rainy night in memory.

The sound of fighting was everywhere in Xinghezhuang, and the heavy rain covered up the evil.

Ye Chen, who woke up from his sleep, was killed by his father, who was the most indifferent in his memory, and countless people in black chased and killed their father and son all the way to the edge of the cliff. It was the first time Ye Chen had seen his father so seriously injured, he was covered in blood but still protected Ye Chen behind his back. After killing the first wave of men in black, the back of the mighty man fell, and the one who seemed to never cry shed tears for the first time.

"Father is useless, he can't protect you, and he can't save your mother, if I am stronger, a little stronger......"

"Dad, don't talk, you've bled a lot. ”

The young man Ye Chen held his father's hand, his face full of tears. He hated himself for being powerless, hating traitors for being unjust!

It's just that no one gave the father and son more time, and soon the second wave of men in black was killed. The man, who was already angry, came back to light the moment he saw the enemy, and he held a steel knife full of blood to block the enemy again, and his injuries were even more serious. But it was this qi that gave Ye Chen a glimmer of life.

"Dust, run, don't look back. ”

"Gotta live. ”

This was the last sentence Ye Chen heard before jumping off the cliff.

The picture dissipates.

Ye Chen opened his eyes and walked to the edge of the cliff, looking at the broken vines. Then he took a light step and flew to the bottom of the cliff, and he had survived that night by relying on the cushion of these vines. It's a pity that he still fell out of his internal injuries, and then fled for a long time, exhausting the last trace of strength.

"This is it. ”

Ye Chen squatted down, and he found the place where he met the 'immortal' that night.

It was here that he received the teachings of the immortals and reversed his fate! If this world is a story, this place is the beginning of the story.

"Dad, I survived, and I will always live in the future, don't worry. ”

Ye Chen took a deep breath and looked back at the direction of the cliff. It was as if some kind of shackle had been severed. The breath began to sublimate silently......

Fourth Order!

Ye Chen, who has gone through thousands of hardships and laid out the whole world, finally gained an epiphany at this moment. His eyes were not empty, there were some unforgettable memories in them, but his expression became more vicissitudes.

"Congratulations. ”

A figure walked out of the void, and this person was Amu. After so many years of accumulation, Amu's consciousness almost covered most of the Divine Dynasty. After perceiving Ye Chen's unhidden fluctuations, he immediately used his memory to pinch an avatar and rushed over. Looking at Ye Chen, who had been successfully promoted, Amu's eyes showed emotion. He still lost after all, and now he has long understood that what he broke through overseas in the past was not the fourth order, but a small stage in the third order, and Ye Chen had already broken through at that stage.

"Finally this point, can you soar?". ”

"No, I can't. ”

After advancing to the fourth order, Ye Chen saw a wider world. He saw a picture that he couldn't see before, and he also saw the chains wrapped around himself and Amu and the others, which were fetters and the cause of this world. If you want to ascend, you must cut off all these causes, and you can only be truly free without constraints.

But Ye Chen couldn't do it.

He can't forget his loved ones, and for him that's an inseparable part of it.

"Why?"

Amu was puzzled, in his and Ye Chen's previous inferences, after reaching the fourth order, he would be at the level of a Dharma Transmission Immortal, and he should have the qualifications to jump out of the world.

"There are some things I can't put down. ”

Amu instantly understood, it was not that he couldn't ascend but that he didn't want to. Hearing this answer, he was also silent, everyone has something they can't put down, Ye Chen has it, and he has it too.

"I need something that can carry my life and help me break through this shackle. ”

Ye Chen's gaze penetrated the sky, and he saw a figure outside the world, where there seemed to be a person standing, quietly waiting for him.
