Chapter 404 The Complex Relationships of the Main Characters
Li Muyang and Wang Lin stared wide-eyed at each other, while the others remained calm, except for Xuan Yue, who was shocked.
Are these two the same person?
“In a parallel world, Li Muyang’s past life and his relationship with Wang Lin are equivalent to my relationship with you,” Feng Xuanxing said. “We are parallel beings from different worlds. Apart from this relationship, we are two separate individuals.”
"The only impact is that in parallel worlds, only one person can attain the Great Luo realm. Once one person attains the Great Luo realm, their counterparts in other parallel universes are destined to never surpass them."
Hearing these words, Xuan Yue calmed down. It was alright. He didn't understand what "attaining the Great Luo" meant, but he felt that he definitely had no hope. It was something completely unrelated to him.
Wang Lin looked annoyed: "I still don't understand how you guessed it! I don't believe I gave you any information!"
Li Muyang smiled wryly: "Boss, you seem to have forgotten something!"
"I truly don't remember, nor do I know, what happened in my real past life, or even that a past life existed! The problem is... you just said your name is Wang Lin!"
Wang Lin's expression changed instantly, and he was both amused and exasperated. He realized the situation was different from what he had discovered, and he hadn't expected that the flaw was in his own hands!
Yes, Feng Xuanxing and Wang Lin are both transmigrators and reborn individuals, possessing memories of their past lives.
The flaw is that Li Muyang, who is also a time traveler and a reborn person, remembers that his previous life, which was actually the life before his previous life, was named Wang Lin!
Let's take this into account, some previous anomalies:
For example, the inexplicable and highly compatible Spacetime Great Luo Dao Fruit on his body;
The boss, Wang Lin, treated me with kindness;
And the words that death had once spoken to him;
And Houtu Niangniang from the main world, who once examined her own soul and seemed hesitant to speak;
Li Muyang then came to a conclusion: the past life he remembered might not have been his actual previous life, but rather an earlier one! And this guess was quite reasonable!
Li Muyang was unaware of what happened during that time.
But after Wang Lin introduced himself, and considering that Goose had asked Li Muyang to bring Xuan Yue along, as well as the relationship between Xuan Yue and Feng Xuanxing, he roughly guessed what was going on: he must have a connection with Wang Lin! Maybe it was the connection between Feng Xuanxing and Xuan Yue!
Parallel world, otherworldly counterparts.
Otherwise, why would Feng Xuanxing bring Xuan Yue along for no reason? It must be because Feng Xuanxing wants to meet his counterpart from another world in this world! Putting myself in his shoes, I understand!
"I can't say for sure about the others, but I do have some common sense. If something like the Great Luo Dao Fruit of Spacetime isn't something you create yourself, even if you're from a parallel universe, you shouldn't be able to control it as easily as you would your own arm!" Li Muyang calmly stated his guess: "So, the Great Luo Dao Fruit on my body must have been created by myself! But I have absolutely no recollection of it!"
“Then the possibilities are very small! It’s either your future self, your past self, or…” Li Muyang looked at Wang Lin, his meaning already very clear.
"I must thank Boss Feng for his guidance. The same person in a parallel world can only have one attainment of the Great Luo realm. This makes me even more certain of my answer."
Wang Lin glared silently at Feng Xuanxing, telling Goose Boss to tell Li Muyang to bring Xuan Yue along. He was unaware of this news; it was Feng Xuanxing who had made the decision on his own!
Feng Xuanxing looked completely innocent: "I just wanted to see..."
"Come on! What a lame excuse! How could you even say that? Of all times to meet, why now of all times!" Wang Lin complained, clearly annoyed. He had originally wanted to see Li Muyang's apprehensive expression, but that plan had been completely ruined!
"Alright, you guessed right." Now that he knew, Wang Lin was too lazy to waste time and directly revealed the truth: "Your past life was Wang Lin from a parallel world, which is my counterpart from another world."
"Although you attained the Great Luo Dao before me, you took the wrong path. After attaining the Great Luo Dao, you will not have the opportunity to go any further and will soon be assimilated by the Great Dao of Time and Space. Therefore, you can only break the deadlock by relying on your parallel world self."
"So you set up a scheme, merged with the Dao, and had one of your avatars, which inherited all the power, continuously select suitable people in parallel universes and nurture them to become Great Luo Immortals. This is how I was born. In exchange, I rescued you from the Great Dao of Time and Space."
“But… in parallel worlds, there can only be one person who can attain the Great Luo realm. This rule cannot be changed. In addition, in your previous life, your consciousness was assimilated in the Great Dao of Time and Space, and your memories were also worn away by the endless time of the Great Dao. I can only send you to reincarnation, to be reborn as another new person.”
As he spoke, he pointed at Li Muyang and said, "You guessed right. The Time-Space Great Luo Dao Fruit on your body is the Dao Fruit of your previous life. It was given to me by the incarnation you left behind in your previous life. I can barely use it, but it is definitely not as easy to use as the one I condensed myself. As for giving it to others, they can't use it either, so I have no use for it. I'll use it to make up for your kindness in achieving the Dao."
"Thank you very much," Li Muyang said solemnly.
Joking aside, it would have been perfectly reasonable for Wang Lin to keep the Dao Fruit for himself, since it belonged to "Wang Lin" and no one could say anything about it. However, he returned it to Li Muyang, which was an act of kindness!
Wang Lin was quite pleased with Lao Li's attitude; all his hard work hadn't been in vain.
"You just want to see this kid's embarrassed expression," Feng Xuanxing said, directly hitting Wang Lin's hidden thoughts: "Like he wants you but can't get rid of you~"
"You f***ing bastard!" Wang Lin was enraged! He didn't care about his image at all and raised his hand to throw a punch.
Seeing this, Feng Xuanxing actually hid behind Xuan Yue. Wang Lin's movements faltered. The force he had used to hit Feng Xuanxing was definitely too much for Xuan Yue to withstand! He could only stop and then wanted to chase after him.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, the bartender Fuxi snorted coldly, and the two immediately became obedient and sat back down properly.
At this moment, the Two-Faced Turtle spoke again: "Now that you've all introduced yourselves, it's my turn."
"My destiny."
Li Muyang had a flash of inspiration: "The Devil of Destiny?!"
The Two-Faced Turtle, the Destiny Demon God, nodded: "That's right! My Daoist name is Destiny, bestowed upon me by the Great Dao. My true form in the primordial world is the Northern Dark Turtle."
The Northern Dark Tortoise?!
This was the second time Li Muyang had heard this title.
Before his father was reincarnated as Emperor Xuanyuan, he was the Northern Dark Tortoise! The reincarnation of the God of Destiny! He was also the one who stayed behind at Buzhou Mountain, transforming his limbs into pillars supporting the sky!
The Taoist of Destiny said leisurely, "In our world, Mount Buzhou has not been broken, so there is no need for me to hold up the sky."
Li Muyang was concerned about something else: "So... in a sense, you're the father of this world?"
The others were speechless, but the Daoist of Destiny nodded solemnly with an expression of agreement: "Indeed! The Human Emperor Xuanyuan of our primordial world is indeed my alias!"
"Having wandered for half my life, I only regret that I have not met a wise ruler! If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather!" Li Muyang immediately took over the topic! He said it in a serious tone, as to whether he was serious or not, that is a matter of opinion.
Wang Lin, standing to the side, looked on with disdain. "After reincarnation, how come you've completely changed? Where did that unapproachable aura from your past life go?" Feng Xuanxing, on the other hand, smiled. "I love seeing you like this!"
The Turtle-Man Destiny Master gave Li Muyang a meaningful look and said slowly, "Do you know? The world that Feng Xuanxing and Wang Lin's souls originated from is one that I created."
Li Muyang blinked. What's wrong?
"Then, their names in their previous lives were Feng Xuanxing and Wang Lin. They were childhood friends and even shared a dorm room in college."
Li Muyang nodded. Yes... he also had a similar troublesome friend in his memories! Parallel worlds, it's normal for them to be similar, right?
The Taoist of Destiny said slowly, "I originally created that world just to satisfy my homesickness. In fact, it was just something I did on a whim at first. I never expected that I would create a parallel world to my own! For a moment, I can't even tell if this is the same thing or not."
Including Li Muyang, Feng Xuanxing, and Wang Lin, none of them understood what it meant. Xuan Yue was negligible, as he was already completely confused. Only Fuxi realized something.
The Taoist of Destiny pointed to himself and said, "You might not believe it, but Feng Xuanxing and Wang Lin are transmigrators. Their worlds originated from me, and the reason for their transmigration is also related to me. However, I myself... am also a transmigrator!"
"What?!" Li Muyang was stunned, but the others remained calm. Xuan Yue didn't understand what he meant, while the remaining three were all people in the know.
Fuxi, Feng Xuanxing, and Wang Lin all knew that the Daoist of Destiny was actually a time traveler! A college student from a modern world!
The culprit that caused the Daoist of Destiny to travel through time is none other than the legendary... Great Dao.
"Although the world I created is almost exactly the same as the world in my memory, and in a sense it may be equivalent to a parallel world, the problem is that I still have no way to return to my own world!" The Destiny Daoist said with great sorrow, "After all, the chaos is too great! And too much time has passed, and the traces of that world on my body have completely disappeared."
"I don't know why the Great Dao made me travel through time. Only after cultivating to my current level have I just begun to understand the reason. But if I want to see the Great Dao, I'm afraid I'll have to step into the Chaos Realm. Unfortunately, it's not something you can just do on a whim."
"My original world might still be drifting in the vast chaos, or it might have already been destroyed... Although I'm not so insistent on going back now, I'm still willing to try if there's even a glimmer of hope."
Li Muyang still didn't understand what it meant, but at this moment, Feng Xuanxing and Wang Lin finally realized what was going on!
The Destiny Daoist pointed to himself, then to Li Muyang, and said, "Old Wang! Oh, now you should call me Old Li! If I told you that I am the Feng Xuanxing you know, would you believe me?"
