Chapter 7: Shao Cheng Decision Which He Will Forget In The Future
"Yes, it was Huang Ya."
The High Priestess answer back, pale purple eyes gazing at the currently deep in thought Shao Cheng.
Somehow, Jiayi felt a bit vindictive because even though her fate with that person was different from this person's fate with Ren Yuan, she was not the only person who has their fate cut off from their supposed fated lover.
Every time Shao Cheng meets or sees the figure of Ren Yuan in the past, it has always been Huang Ya who has constantly speaking wrongly in a roundabout way without directly mentioning about what happened when it comes to that man, which has caused Shao Cheng to instantly have a bad impression of a person named 'Ren Yua'.
Especially the first time that he has seen the young Ren Yuan who has the appearance of playboy scion and the bad reputation to join it, was also because of the reasons of Huang Ya, after all, Shao Cheng was a bit biased to the people he cared about, thus rather than trusting a certain stranger against the person he treated as a younger sister who was also his savior, it wasn't that surprising that he has believed Huang Ya easily, especially when he was still naive and inexperience in his younger years.
"What do you mean about Huang Ya's mysterious great fortune?"
Suddenly, High Priestess's face became blank while pale purple eyes seemed to be seeing something that Shao Cheng is unable to see.
"I can't tell anymore, now let us focus on what happened to you a few days ago."
A few days ago? As Shao Cheng thought about what has happened besides the surprising confession of his former enemy, the mysterious space with the purple fogs flash his mind.
"Yes, that has been the split aura of the Son of Heaven that you have unconsciously has given to Chang Pei, however at this moment on, it came back to the rightful owner. What you have right now is the aura of the entire Chang Empire, although it was half of it, try to use your eyes and senses to detect your surroundings right now."
Shao Cheng who was extremely curious about the High Priestess words has instantly tried to sense his surrounding, although he was still doubtful and suspicious about the High Priestess motives, anyway, he was already dead and has nothing to fear, even if this woman has suddenly decided to destroy his soul wasn't scary one bit.
Somehow, at the second time of experiencing the feeling of dying, Shao Cheng was a bit numb about his own life, although he will still protect himself without easily letting people end him, however, in the end, the fear of death has disappeared completely.
Everyone has a different reaction regarding their death, and the lack of fear for his life was something that Shao Cheng seemed to react.
Soon, as he started sensing his surroundings, sapphire eyes see a certain aura around him which seemed to connect to plants and animals the most as Shao Cheng gazes at the trees around him and the birds flying in the sky.
It felt like he is blending and combining at the glowing aura while feeling a bit of emotion coming from those plants and animals around him.
"That is the spirit of everything that has life within them, other than a human being, even the plants and animals have life and sometimes souls. Although you are a bit different from what power I have since you have half of the Aura of the Chang Empire within you. In the entire history of the Chang Empire and even the other Empire, you are the only person that exists who has been able to absorb an aura belonging to a 'spirit' of an Empire within their soul."
The High Priestess couldn't help but gaze at the spirit beautiful man with a complicated expression on her face.
"It just like you are the half-god of this entire Empire, I don't know why, but this land unconsciously greatly favor you that even the aura was absorbed by you without any problem."
What kind of great fortune was this? To be loved by the land itself is already a miracle.
Shao Cheng that has been miraculously gazing at this wonderful scenery of a different mystical outlook of the entire world was unable to explain his emotion with words alone.
Everything felt so otherworldy, is this the scene that the High Priestess eyes have been seeing the entire time?
However, soon, Shao Cheng felt weak and was unable to keep sensing his entire surroundings as his vision at the world turn back to the way it normally was.
"So… what is the point of this power? I am already dead, are you telling me that I will remain in this world as a spirit without reincarnating for my next life? Becoming the God or Guadian of whatever this land want me to become?"
Shao Cheng couldn't help but frown, although the power he got seemed to be awesome yet he knows that there will always be exchange for it. If he could choose, Shao Cheng rather wants to forget his memories and reincarnate a new life without the burden of his previous life memories this time.
Two lifetimes of memories area burden to have, it is a wonder that he didn't go crazy yet, Shao Cheng can understand a bit about the reason why human has short lives, to those who have weak will and mentality, what he experience would have made a person break from the start already.
The High Priestess remains silent while frowning as she too will never know what Heaven or a powerful 'spirit' decision is, after all, mortal like them are powerless to the greater power in the end.
If she could, Jiayi would have already helped that person if she was allowed to.
"... even I don't know all the answer but I know that you are always connected at the current Emperor, thus wait for the day that Ren Yuan has finally taken his last breath to see what will happen next."
Whatever fate the two of you have, depending on the choice and decision of Heaven will and any powerful being out there because we are only a mere mortal that has been given the power to shoulder along with a heavy responsibility without any choice.
"I have completed about what I have to do, thus, this is goodbye Shao Cheng, we will never see each other again after this."
Shao Cheng that has been thinking deeply couldn't help but glance at the woman that has already walked away, however, there was a new question he has wanted to always ask for quite a while now so with a curious voice he called out to the High Priestess, waiting to see if he will be able to get the answer of his question this time too.
"... can I know the name of the special person who died?"
High Priestess Jiayi has stopped walking when she heard Shao Cheng question, after a split second of thought, she once again has taken a step as she walks away and without turning around, she utters the identity of the person without any wavelength of emotions on her voice.
"It is the fifth prince of Chang Empire, Chang Song."
Sapphire eyes widen in surprise, who would have thought!
Unable to stop his head from shaking because base from that man's personality, if he knew that he was able to move the heart of the most honored and distinguish woman in the entire Chang Empire, he will definitely brag about it to the entire world without any shame.
Why?
Fifth Prince, Chang Song is the number one romantic playboy in the entire Chang Empire, who attacks both genders, a wild handsome prince who doesn't fear about having a bad reputation.
Well, if one were to explain it, he was a scum playboy who just played around, to think that the High Priestess has fallen in love with that kind of a person, ah love is really unpredictable and blind.
"Really, it was right for me not to get involved in any romantic relationship in the past!"
Shao Cheng nodded his head while thinking that if he ever gets reincarnated with his memories intact later on, he will never go in any heartfelt relationship with someone else, casual one is alright but never a serious one.
"Yes, that is a good plan!"
However, a certain someone who promises not to get into any relationship will be soon eating his words in the future as he chases after his future 'wife'.
