Chapter 7 - 7. Defining self and the complete soul

When Bai Yue opened his eyes, he found himself in a black space. In front of him stood a reflection of himself. He looked at the reflection and the reflection did the same. Suddenly a mixed voice sounded in this space

"Who are you?"

Both were stunned by this question and they simultaneously said,

"I am Bai Yue."

They were once again shocked. But suddenly Bai Yue in complete form said "Wait before you ask another thing, let's calm down and let me introduce myself first. I am Bai Yue and I have been in this world for almost 3 years. Now tell me who you are?"

"I am Bai Yue and I am a member of the Leng family, one of the supreme one's clan" the illusionary soul replied.

Bai Yue asked surprised, "So you are the owner of this body, then why are you here and why did you leave your body?"

The illusionary soul replied "I don't know, I only know that I ran from my clan after learning my truth and the reason why I was still alive despite a trash from the family. But suddenly I felt a large hand tried to capture me but it failed. I think he was the supreme one of my family who wanted to use me to take a step ahead in his cultivation and I ran because of that. I almost succeed inleaving this continent because the treasure with me allowed me to cover myself from Emperor Throne realm experts and the supreme ones doesn't act easily and if I successfully left the continent no one can find me."

" and earth will cover myself as I am being cursed and they will try their best to isolate me. But suddenly my vision felt blank."

"When I woke up I found myself in this state but at that time I was like you in a complete form but now I have become illusionary and I am afraid that with time I will completely disappear. But today you came to meet me."

After hearing all this Bai Yue suddenly became silent and he processed everything and realised that the memories that he received while entering the original owner's body were not complete and after organising his thoughts he bitterly smiled and told his situation to the other himself in front of him.

"I am not from this world but I think the place where I am from doesn't even exist. It might have been my long dream because as I entered this body all my past memories are disappearing slowly as I merge with this body."

"I think you and I are just the same with different will and same souls.and I guess that while you were in this body I was dormant while living in a world where no cultivation is present, all are just mortals and everyone lives their lives as a mortal. But they face many hardships, many challenges and many more but at the end of the day they became happy when they returned their rest place which they call home because this place provides them comfort, brings them shelter, makes them happy and force them to come back to their starting point and take a rest of they are too tired."

"I was a figure that had fame in front of many people and they all admired me for who I was, what the contributions I did to society and how I saw others in my eyes. But as time passed I became tired with no one to support me and tired of doing this work then suddenly I thought of sleeping and slowly this thought became my final wish."

"Then one day I saw a rabbit, as pure as the moon, on a road. At first I thought, why is it that a rabbit is in the middle of the road. So, I went towards that rabbit and picked him up when suddenly something touched me from behind and I felt dizzy. Before going into sleep I thought that I had no regrets and all I wanted was to sleep and I heard a thank you. I thought it was from the rabbit whom I saved and put those little ones in my warm embrace and I died. But when I woke up I realised that I was not dead and I came into this world and entered this body which didn't belong to me."

The illusionary soul suddenly replied " This overlaps with my desire. I always wanted to be a normal human who can't be judged by others because of my background. I wanted to live the live of a mortal because they have no desire towards strength and they won't damage their own family for this. I always desired to be free and do what my heart wanted me to do."

"I wanted to be kind to others, get their attention for myself, not my background, wanted to be loved and not to be used." By the end of his voice they both fell silent.

After a while Bai Yue smiled and said "Then according to me, we both are one and I am the will that you wanted to do and you are the one who becomes the complete me. I just didn't finish your last desire about being loved so I think that is why I came back. Now if I am right, then I should merge with you but I can't do that because I became the whole and you became illusionary. Only you have to take this step and merge with me to become me and I won't force you to make any decision and the final decision will be yours."

Bai Yue waited for some time before the illusionary soul replied "You are right, we both are one so it doesn't matter who lives or who dies and if I want to be in existence I have to merge with you but I don't think I'll regret this because I always wanted to fulfill my desires and by becoming you I can do that. Good-bye."

Bai Yue smiled and replied "Good-bye big brother. Thank you for giving me birth and letting me live a second life but I promise you that I will definitely get you justice because your little brother is cunning and wild not like my big brother who is timid. And don't worry in the future if possible I will definitely think of a way to bring you back."

After saying this Bai Yue opened his arms wide to hug the illusionary soul. The illusionary soul was stunned when he heard this answer but then it smiled and opened his arms to hug Bai Yue and smiled

"Little brother, just live your life from now on there is no need to do that because I am also tired just like you when I was in this world and let me help you achieve your dream for eternal sleep." After saying this the illusionary soul hugged Bai Yue who was shocked after hearing this.

After they hugged each other they merged with each other slowly and this space started to shatter like a mirror with brightness everywhere.

Tieshan quickly came inside Bai Yue's room and picked him in his arms. He wanted to take him to the pharmacist but he stopped himself at the last moment because he didn't know A-Yue body condition. So he held Bai Yue in his hands and hugged him close to his chest. His heart was beating fast as time passed and he became worried. He shouted A-Yue continuously but no response came. He muttered to himself

"A-Yue it was all my fault. I was not strong enough to protect you. Please wake up and don't leave me."

Suddenly Bai Yue's entire body started to shine and the room quickly covered with brightness. Tieshan tried to shelter him but failed and Bai Yue floated in the air. His injuries healed at naked eyes. Heaven and earth changed its colour. The peak powerhouses became active and looked at heaven and earth and started observing the changes in heaven and earth.

Bai Yue slowly came down on the floor and slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the worried Tieshan and smiled softly

"Bear, I am back."
