Limitless Chapter 588

Chu Yu shook his head, "I don't understand, I am but a single man, a cultivator of this world . What business do you have with me? If there's nothing else, I'll return . I just got married recently" .

"You fool!" .

The old man grunted .

"What's the point of telling me all these then?" Chu Yu asked seriously .

"I was born in a small clan, I've had some luck with fate and met some incredible miracles, here I am now . " .

"I obtained Confucius' superclass, got the Immortal Crane Scripture, learnt the Monkey's techniques… got Yi's guidance, seen Chi You's sliver of memory…" .

"I just want to protect my home with those who believe in the same cause . It's not because its called the village of Dao, it's simply because my friends and family are all there . " .

"If I had the power to, I would go over to the Bastion of Stars to take a look to see what exactly is going on there . " .

"If I had the power to, I would go to the other two realms and see if the creatures there are as powerful as they say they are . I would interact with them and see what kind of attitude they harbour . If they don't treat me as the enemy, I wouldn't treat them that way either . " .

"My life is that simple . " .

"I'm not going to recreate the three realms or break down the six paths of reincarnation . I know I don't have that power, I'm not interested in that either . " .

"Whether it was the barren era or another era, it has nothing to do with me . " .

"I don't know why they call me the Great Emperor, perhaps there is someone like that in this realm, but I'm not that man, not at this moment . " .

"I just want to live without regrets . As long as I can do that and leave this world with my loved ones by my side, I would not have any regrets . " .

"Of course, I may live a little longer than them because of my cultivation . I may be lonely then and I won't have a choice . Didn't you say that life is cruel?" .

Chu Yu looked at the old man, "These are my heart felt thoughts . I only want to protect my loved ones and live life peacefully . Even if I am a creature that was created by you, I beg you to let me off . Don't put me together with your abstract and profound concepts will you?" .

"You fool!" .

The old man sighed, "Do you think you will be able to live your ideal life if I didn't come to you?" .

"Of course, what has the three realms got to do with me? This mess was created by you, you are that King . The stoppage of the six paths of reincarnation was a result of your doing as well . " .

"The laws of the human realm suppresses everything above the level of Saints . Now, great Saints can live here too . But you are different, you are not bounded by the laws of this realm . Since you're that great, I am just a speck of dust to you, what more do you want from me?" .

The old man looked at Chu Yu, "You're making things easy for yourself, you don't understand the full extent of your powers at all . " .

"Heh, it doesn't matter really, are there secrets on me that you can't unravel?" Chu Yu smiled .

The old man nodded, "Of course . " .

He looked at Chu Yu, "In my inspection, you weren't even supposed to arise in this era . Your rise should only have begun a millennium later . You don't belong to this era . " .

Chu Yu remained silent .

The old man continued, "When I discovered this, your powers had already begun to grow . Even I can't change or stop your growth now . " .

"I only preserved my purest sliver of memory back then, but even that was a infinitely complex sliver . This sliver of memory has gone through reincarnation several times…" .

"So, those who call you the Great Emperor, the Son of the Emperor… they aren't wrong, but they aren't right either . " .

The old man looked at Chu Yu, "You were created as an extension of me, but you're not a doppelganger, neither are you me . You are yourself . " .

Chu Yu remained silent, what the old man had told him was probably true .

From the first time he saw the old man, he could feel the complex emotions that the old man had towards him .

He seemed to be somewhat unwilling to see him, but he didn't completely ignore him either .

After a few meetings, this feeling only intensified .

All of a sudden, Chu Yu raised his head and looked at the old man, "I have two wives, were they once the Empresses as well?" .

The old man shook his head, "Yes, but no . " .

"Please speak clearly," Chu Yu frowned .

The old man twitched, it seemed as if someone had said the same things to him before .

"The two of them were the purest slivers of memories I can abstract from two of the former Empresses," the old man explained .

Chu Yu heaved a sigh of relief .

"What about the two of them then?" Chu Yu asked .

He didn't expect the old man to give a direct answer, but he did .

"The Immortal Realm . " .

"Didn't the Immortal Realm collapse?" Chu Yu asked .

"Only a corner of it did, do you know how large it is? That realm was the foundation of my creation, how could it collapse so easily?" the old man gloated .

"So that's what it is," Chu Yu said .

"Can I leave now?" he asked .

"Don't you want to know how all life began? How things were like in the beginning?" the old man asked .

"I want to, but at the same time I don't really want to . I am curious, but I'm afraid that it will somehow lead back to me again . " .

"Forget it then, you can go back," the old man waved him off .

Chu Yu felt a sense of change in scenery, and in the next moment, he realised that he had appeared in the solar system .

The scenery around was extremely familiar .

Chu Yu heaved a sigh of relief, he felt a little lost as well, but there was a new sense of purpose in him .

Zhou Gan appeared beside him as he said, "What happened?" .

What?

Chu Yu looked at him, "You don't know what happened?" .

Zhou Gan looked at him, "Of course I do, teacher brought us both onto a mysterious path, after which we entered a large space . There were many other galaxies there as well!" .

"Oh right! Didn't teacher bring you to the continent? What happened there?" .

Chu Yu sighed, he really wished that everything was just a dream .

Even though the old man let him return, he had a strong feeling that things were not finished .

Trouble would come, and it would come at anytime .

"Why is it so hard to find some peace?" Chu Yu sighed .

"Live in peace? What happened?" Zhou Gan asked .

"How much do you know of your teacher?" Chu Yu asked .

"Basically nothing . I remember the first time I met him, I was still a child, and he looked like he was in his teens . He asked me if I wanted to be his disciple and I exchanged blows with him . " .

Zhou Gan smiled as he reminisced about the past .

He said, "His personality is kinda weird… sometimes he is cold, sometimes he's serious, sometimes he's fun, it's like he has multiple split personalities . But no matter what, he is really kind . At the very least, I've never felt that he's a bad guy . " .

Zhou Gan said this very sincerely .

He looked at Chu Yu and said, "I don't know what happened back there, but I hope you can listen to what he says . " .

Chu Yu remained silent .

Zhou Gan continued, "I remember there was once where he said that this world was a special one, and that we have to build a perfect defence to protect us against the invaders . " .

"He also said that the perfect defence was to take the initiative to attack! To create a heavenly army!" .

Zhou Gan looked at Chu Yu as he said with some disbelief, "Could it be that you're part of that heavenly army that he created?" .

He shook his head immediately and said, "No, it can't be, you're clearly the Great Emperor!" .

Chu Yu suddenly asked, "Since you're the junior of the Great Emperor, have you seen him and the old man appear at the same time?" .

"Of course! What doubts do you have? When the old man took the Great Emperor under his wing, I was extremely unhappy! I came first, why was he the senior? The old man told me after that that I was the second in line to inherit his powers!" .

"Don't you think that he's biased?" Zhou Gan pouted .

Chu Yu thought to himself, "If the old man created the three realms and the six paths of reincarnation, why did he have to accept himself as his own disciple?" .

It was impossible that Zhou Gan was lying .

At the same time, the old man didn't seem to be lying either .

There had to be a problem .

He said that his being was the manifestation of his purest sliver of memory, could it be that that Emperor long ago was manifested from this as well?

Perhaps he was not satisfied with his own choices, was that why he created that Emperor?

According to many legends and myths, some said that the Emperor of the previous era disappeared very suddenly .

He vanished into thin air .

Chu Yu frowned .

The old man's image appeared in his mind .

Chu Yu owed his life to the old man's intervention on multiple occasions .

Perhaps everything he had learned and obtained was linked to him .

For such a terrifying existence, if he really was not satisfied with the previous Emperor's choices, it would have been too easy for him to make him disappear .

No matter how big the world was or what realm it was, it didn't matter to such a man .

Chu Yu had a feeling that all this was ridiculous and baseless .

Chu Yu felt that by reaching the great Saint realm, he could have some control over his fate .

But now he realised that he was just a piece on the chess board .

The good thing was that the old man didn't seem to know about the vertical eye and the golden metal ball .

As for the three realms technique…

Zhou Gan suddenly called out to Chu Yu, who was in a daze, "Are you alright?" .

Chu Yu shook his head and replied, "Yea, let's go back . " .

Zhou Gan rolled his eyes and said, "Go back to your floating city, I'll return to earth, there are many ladies waiting for me there . " .

As he said this, his body flickered and vanished .

Chu Yu stayed there, silent .

The vertical eye vibrated and reassured him .

"I am myself . " .

Chu Yu had a new sense of resolve .

　　 . . .

. . .

At the demonic capital on earth .

Within a golden building, Zhou Gan was flirting with a beautiful lady as he laughed and looked at a young man seated opposite him, "How's that! This is the mortal realm!" .

The young man had an emotionless face, he seemed equally disinterested in the beautiful girls around him, "What did he say?" .

"He didn't say much . Old man, do you have to do this? Your powers are unrivalled, why do you have to control everything from behind the scenes? Do you feel good doing this?" .

"What do you know? And who said I'm not rivalled?" the young man said .

"You're the first ruler since time memorial, who can defeat you?" Zhou Gan said .

"That stupid Monkey, the Buddha, the Monk, Chi You, Confucius, and many other beings… they all can beat me," the young man said without much emotion .

Zhou Gan pouted, "didn't you say that you're the undefeatable ruler of the barren era?" .

"Yes, but they are as well," the young man said .

"Those are your grudges, why do you insist on bringing them to this era? Moreover, don't tell me you can't see that senior has gone through a mysterious change . Old man, I'm not nagging on you, but aren't you afraid of heavenly retaliation? If your own self kills you, that'll be interesting," Zhou Gan said .

To the two women there, Zhou Gan and the young man were just having small conversations, there was a mist to their talk .

The old man looked at Zhou Gan and said, "If the new me kills the old me, it's an ironic form of reincarnation as well . If he has the ability to, I'll let him kill me . " .
