Chapters 110. Choosing to Live in the Now!
The old man kept his eyes closed as if he had not heard Tian Zhi's words, his snoring voice grew louder as Tian Zhi approached.
"Greetings, Senior! " greet Tian Zhi as he stood in front of the old man, cupping both his hands forward.
But, the old man seemed as if he did not hear Tian Zhi's voice and his snoring grew louder. However, Tian Zhi did not mind him, he busied himself with searching for firewood for preparations that would be nearing the night, while waiting for the old man to wake up.
Tian Zhi made a bonfire to warm up the humid atmosphere of the ravine, which he did not realize, the old man had been sitting down and was always watching him.
"How, do you remember the past even if it's only vague?" asked the old man to Tian Zhi.
Suddenly Tian Zhi was aghast at the hoarse voice behind him, he immediately turned around and saw the old man smiling. It was with a happy heart that Tian Zhi gave his respectful greeting.
"No need to be polite! Sit here," in a friendly tone the old man asked Tian Zhi to sit next to him.
"Senior, is it still selling ancient bark?" tian Zhi asked directly at his destination.
"No need to think about it first. I have not answered your question yet!" replied the old man in a friendly tone.
Tian Zhi smiled wryly who had to answer something he never remembered. But, for the sake of the ancient bark, he tried to recall his past. Tian Zhi closed his eyes in order to concentrate.
"The two women who are always after you, do you never remember anything about them?" ask the old man about the Fairy Sisters.
Instantly Tian Zhi opened his eyes and indeed he felt familiar with He Hua and Miao Jiang, when he had only met a few times, but it was as if he had known each other for a long time.
"Only did I feel familiar with those two women!" tian Zhi replied.
The old man smiled faintly and nodded, then he took out a roll of white cloth and opened it horizontally. It looks a painting of a young and very beautiful woman, has fox ears, gentle gaze, small lips and a pointed nose, her hair is white with bangs almost covering the eyes.
Tian Zhi who saw it the instant his body shook, he felt very familiar with the woman he was painting. Back Tian Zhi closed his eyes to try hard to remember the woman from the Fox Race.
"I knew him well, but forgot where I had met him!" it was obviously Tian Zhi who still did not know the woman in the painting even though he felt very familiar.
"Good! That's a sign your subconscious still holds all the memories. This woman named Yu Bao was from the Black Gem Continent. The two women who always chased you were former disciples of the Goddess of Light. The Goddess of Light you have met twice, in the Black Gem Continent and in the Fairy Continent. Remember those names!" the old man said to Tian Zhi.
"Yu Bao, Goddess of Light... The Black Gem Continent...! " tian Zhi muttered to remember him.
Yes, the old man was trying to unlock the memories stored in Tian Zhi's subconscious. Had Tian Zhi recalled a little, the old man would have given him a choice, restored his memories to how they were or kept living life as it was today.
Tian Zhi closed his eyes as he continued to pronounce the names of Yu Bao and the Goddess of Light. When he closed his eyes he recalled seeing the many monster beasts he was fighting against, then he tamed the Flame Dragon. After that, he could not remember anymore.
But another memory appeared; being on a continent that had high and snowy mountains, she had her memories, she vaguely saw the figure of a woman like in a painting. However, after that Tian Zhi did not remember anything, even the face of the fox woman became invisible again.
"Darkly, what I clearly remember is the Fire Dragon... Fire Dragon... It looks like a tattoo on my back! Yes, yes I remember the Fire Dragon is my guardian beast!" said Tian Zhi who uttered the name Fire Dragon over and over again, as he recalled and hooked up with the Fire Dragon tattoo on his back, his face was cheerful.
"Good, good! Indeed the Fire Dragon is connected to the soul contract with you, forever you are still always connected to the soul despite being separated by a long distance!" said the old man who was also happy to have managed to bring out the memories in Tian Zhi's subconscious.
"Senior, what's your goal for me to remember my past?"
"I feel sorry for seeing your life being experimented on by someone, and I don't accept his actions that will affect the life cycle of many people... I give you two choices, I restore all your memories or remain as you are today. But before that, I have one request for you to work on. What choice?" replied the old man who made Tian Zhi think.
Tian Zhi thought; about the person deliberately making the trial materials, who was he? He also thinks the choice given to him, now he lives very enjoy despite having to accept the humiliation of the past of his parents. If he chose to accept his old memories, would he be able to adapt and not inflict pain on his heart!
Moreover, Tian Zhi was thinking about the request of this old man; he was reminded of the words Dragon Frog, if this old man was so powerful, even in the Aurora Universe no one would match him. Then, why did this old man have to ask him to do something?
Many thoughts raged on Tian Zhi, and he asked:
"If you may know, who made the experimental material?"
"That's the case, you don't have to worry anymore, those two people I've been busy with the weird business they've made themselves!" replied the old man and made Tian Zhi even more curious.
Yes, it was that old man who had corrupted the Soul System created by the Goddess of Light, in order not to focus on Tian Zhi and to always interfere in the samsara cycle that Tian Zhi had to live through.
Whereas, for the other person giving orders to the Goddess of Light, by the old man was preoccupied with other things...
However, Tian Zhi obviously did not dare to urge the old man to reveal who the two people were who arranged his life.
He sighed again and again as a form of helplessness.
"If you may know, what is my relationship with the woman in the painting?" tian Zhi asked inquisitively, because he felt that there was a vibe of love for the woman in the painting.
The old man laughed lightly, as he knew the direction Tian Zhi was aiming to remember his past but was reluctant to accept the reality if it was bad.
"He's very close to you, he's in hibernation right now. So, you don't have to worry. Then, what's your choice?" the old man replied and seemed to urge Tian Zhi to choose.
"Hm! If everyone who rules my life no longer intervenes, then I choose life as it is today. And what does Senior request? But sorry in advance, I did not promise to be able to fulfill it with my condition that has not been able to guard myself from many powerful enemies!" tian Zhi replied and wanted to know the old man's request.
Tian Zhi also said honestly to his current strength to fulfill his request, he felt that if his request was not simple.
For Yu Bao's matter, Tian Zhi was sure that Yu Bao was fine and would definitely meet with Yu Bao one day.
The old man laughed and his request was quite simple, he said:
"Trivial matter and this is also good for your training. There were three dimensional portal holes towards another world that still continued to bring out monster beasts, in the Star Continent, Lotus Continent and in the Spirit Realm, in the Eastern Cloud Continent you had destroyed. That's my only request, can you?"
Tian Zhi was a little surprised if his task was to destroy the three dimensional portals, as he had already heard the rumors from the chatter of the comers.
And, for the dimensional portal hole that was in the Eastern Cloud Continent that he had destroyed, Tian Zhi became confident of being able to meet the old man's request.
"Alright, I accept this condition! But... What's in it for me! " tian Zhi replied after contemplation, from his last utterance clearly did not want to do without getting the appropriate reward as his payment.
The old man laughed and patted Tian Zhi's left shoulder...
