Chapter Twenty-Nine: Drakon's Return: Storm of Emotions
(From a third-person perspective)
In the far north of the world of Artha, where the glaciers stretched endlessly, the cave of the Drakon family stood tall like an abandoned fortress, filled with cold winds that felt like the breaths of ancient beasts that had yet to die.
Deep within this cave, amidst an impenetrable darkness broken only by a faint blue glow, an unseen system's voice echoed, revealing an unexpected event.
[Ding! The host's consciousness has successfully returned to the original body.]
At that moment, a destructive icy aura burst from Aison Drakon's body, freezing the cave walls and everything within a hundred-mile radius. Even the air itself began to crack under the weight of the savage energy emanating from him.
The dragon's once-clear blue eyes had now turned into a glowing crimson, like two embers burning with deep-seated rage.
Aison Drakon roared in fury, his voice not just the roar of a beast but an echo of indescribable pain—a mixture of hatred, betrayal, and a blind desire for vengeance.
The Emovaris bloodline had awakened inside Aison Drakon for the second time, but it was no longer the same.
Now, it had reached its second stage, granting him power beyond anything he had ever possessed before.
However, his thoughts were fractured, revolving around only one thing—revenge against Yi Fang and Shao Yan.
But before he could be consumed by his storm of wrath, he sensed two powerful auras rapidly descending upon the cave entrance. Within moments, Selina Drakon and Aislin Drakon appeared before him—both belonging to the same family bloodline.
Selina stood at the front, her blue eyes staring at him with clear maternal concern as she spoke seriously.
Selina Drakon said: "But… what happened to you? This aura… you didn't have it before."
Meanwhile, Aislin took a step forward, looking at him cautiously.
Aislin Drakon said: "Aison… you've finally awakened. I thought you would never wake up."
Aison's body was still trembling from the energy that had yet to settle within him, but he lifted his head and looked at them as the memories of the thousands of years he had spent with them poured in, gradually extinguishing his rage.
From the first-person perspective (from the perspective of the Ice Dragon, Aison Drakon):
**"Mother, Sister, there is something I need to tell you.
"Mother, Aislin and I have obtained a very powerful bloodline. I was able to awaken it to the second stage due to my intense and mixed emotions toward Aislin, and as a result, I gained a unique ability.
I will be able to live another life in a different world as a human without my memories of this life, but after I die in that life, I will return to my original body, regaining all my memories from there.
"I have already lived two lives as a human in two different worlds."**
Then, I began telling them about my first life on Earth and my second life as Su Ling.
I did this for two reasons: first, because I want to return to Earth and the world of Heavenly Fate, and second, because I want to take them with me on my journey between worlds. For this reason, I wanted to clarify my relationship with the Su family in the world of Heavenly Fate, as well as my first family on Earth, to make dealing with them easier in the future.
Aislin said in astonishment: "Brother, wait! Are you saying that the bloodline you passed on to me during our union will grant me a unique ability once I awaken it to the second stage?! The first time, I gained a hundred thousand years of cultivation… Brother, this is truly amazing."
At that moment, my mother looked at me and spoke with concern.
Selina Drakon said worriedly: "All of this is making my head hurt! First, you and your sister entered a deep slumber that lasted for ten years without telling me anything, making me feel terrified and afraid of losing you both. Then, just an hour ago, your sister woke up and suddenly reached my level! How did this happen? How did you obtain this rare bloodline that not only granted you a hundred thousand years of cultivation but also made you live twice as a human?! Does this mean that this bloodline is far more powerful than I had imagined? However, from what I've heard from you, this bloodline seems cursed."
"Mother, there's no need to worry. This means that I will reach the level of a million-year soul beast quickly! Mother, thanks to this bloodline, we will be able to restore the Dragon Clan to its former glory!"
Selina Drakon said worriedly and sighed: "I hope you are right and that this bloodline will be a blessing to us rather than a curse. In any case, there's nothing I can do about it, but you and your sister must prepare to face your first heavenly tribulation. You have already reached the hundred-thousand-year level."
Aislin said excitedly: "Mother, I am ready for it! I will overcome it and reach the hundred-thousand-year level, and I am confident that my brother will be able to surpass the lightning tribulation just like me."
I was standing in the heart of the dark cave, the cold surrounding me like a frozen storm. Every breath I took scattered into the air, as if the world itself was frozen under the weight of my fury. My eyes, which had once been blue, were now red as embers, glowing as if they carried within them flames that had yet to be extinguished. The memories of my past lives fell onto my mind like cold swords, each moment shaking my being and pushing me toward the abyss.
"How can this be?" I muttered to myself, the whispers in my mind nearly driving me to madness. "Were my feelings toward her truly just an illusion? Was everything a victim of this damned fate?"
But there was something deeper than that, something that was squeezing my heart so hard it made it hard for me to breathe. Anger filled my veins, like a flood that could not be controlled.
I wanted to rid myself of these emotions, but the merciless system kept pressing down on me.
Selina Drakon said in her voice full of concern: "Aison, what happened to you?"
Her murmuring pulled me from the struggle of my thoughts.
I slowly lifted my head, feeling her fearful gaze pierce through me. I couldn't tell her the whole truth. I couldn't tell her that I was on the brink of madness due to Shao Yan's betrayal. "I'm fine, Mother, don't worry. Everything will be alright."
But even as I said that, I knew I was lying. Nothing would ever be the same. Nothing could bring back those lost moments. The truth was more shocking than I could bear.
Aislin, who had been silent the whole time, stepped closer to me.
Aislin said: "Brother… if you need to talk, I'm here. We're family, and you won't be alone in this."
I looked at her, as if her words were a balm on the invisible wounds in my heart, but they reminded me of something else. Something I had lost in my journeys between worlds. "Aislin, even if I tell you what's inside me, I won't be able to stop the coming wave. There are things bigger than I can control now."
Aislin said with confidence, though I felt a hint of worry in her voice: "But we can face it together, right?"
"You don't understand… sister… it might be better if this fate were mine alone."
I muttered, raising my hand to wipe away the dark thoughts that filled my mind. "But no, I can't think about that now. We have to go to the Ice Scorpion Clan."
"Alright, let's go to the Ice Scorpion Clan. Aislin and I will face the lightning tribulation there, as it is the best and safest location."
After that, we headed toward the Ice Scorpion Clan.
While flying with my mother and sister toward the Ice Scorpion Clan…
I was thinking about what happened to me in the world of Heavenly Fate, recalling all my moments with my sister Su Mi, my fiancée Gu Yue, and my teacher.
I wonder what happened to them. Are they okay? Are they feeling sad? Or will they betray me just like Shao Yan did?
The more I thought about it, the more the rage and hatred burned in my chest. I want to kill him, annihilate the entire Shao family, and tear Yi Fang apart.
However, I know that right now, I am far too weak to think about revenge. Even after reaching the hundred-thousand-year level, I am nothing more than a weak worm in the world of Artha. If I want revenge on them, I must at least become a five-hundred-thousand-year-level soul beast.
"System, why did Shao Yan betray me? Even after our relationship became so deep, we loved each other so much! This doesn't make any sense…"
[Ding! Host, Shao Yan is the first heroine in Yi Fang's fate. However, this alone was not enough for her to betray you. The main reason for her betrayal is that her feelings for you were not as you imagined.]
"What do you mean?"
[Ding! Host, Shao Yan is the first heroine in Yi Fang's fate, and she is an important person in his path. She is destined to be Yi Fang's wife. However, due to the influence of the Desire Aura, there was a slight deviation in her emotions, which led to you becoming her first man. But this was not because she loved you; rather, it was because she simply felt the desire to do it with you. All along, she was waiting for the day she would realize her true fate. This is a special case.]
"System, are you saying that she never loved me, but I was just…"
[Ding! Host, Shao Yan is a special case.]
"What do you mean by 'a special case'?"
[Ding! To obtain this information, Yi Fang must be designated as a hunting target.]
[Ding! Host, do you wish to designate Yi Fang as a hunting target?]
**"Alright, System, do it.
I truly want to tear him apart!"**
