Chương 83: Memory (Re Translation)

From Yun Ming's perspective, his own strength was almost godlike, yet still not enough to approach the mysterious phenomenon. He wondered if only the Lord of the Plane, as Jin Lao had mentioned, had the power to investigate it.

What he didn't know was that the Lord of the Plane had already tried to explore it and had been injured in the process.

When Yun Ming left, the bell tower made of black clouds had formed its essence by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth continuously.

As the second hand, minute hand, and hour hand aligned and pointed to the twelve o'clock position, a sound rang out and an invisible ripple spread across the world.

All the creatures on the entire Douluo Planet heard a deep bell tolling in their ears, and then another one after five seconds, and so on. Everyone heard twelve bells that day, without knowing why.

As the bells rang, Anping, who was sitting in the attic practicing, felt the influence of the bell tower growing stronger in his memory. He could sense a connection between him and the bell tower.

As the last bell faded, the bell tower shrank and landed on the desert island, covering it completely. Then it gradually lost its luster and vanished.

All these changes were imprinted in Anping's mind. He realized that the bell tower had not disappeared, but was hidden in the void. He could summon it at any time.

At the same time, Anping's memory underwent a violent fluctuation. Strange images flashed in his mind. As these images appeared, Anping's memories before he was three years old broke into pieces, contrasting sharply with his later memories.

Only then did Anping notice that there was something wrong with his early memory. As he examined the restored memories, he understood many things.

Anping was not reincarnated in the Douluo World, but was brought directly to the Douluo Continent by the Sky of Truth. He arrived at the core of the Star Forest, where his soul was given a new body.

His arrival in the Douluo World was an accident. If he had not encountered the space-time turbulence that swept away the God Realm, causing the Sky of Truth to run out of energy and force it to land, he would have missed the Douluo World altogether.

His current body was not born from his parents, but was created by the Sky of Truth using all the energy of the Living Gold in the Star Forest, as well as some of the energy of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena. This also explained why he and Gu Yuena had a martial soul fusion skill.

The most important thing was that the old man who raised him was not really his uncle. He was the incarnation of the ferocious beast Myriad Demon King from the Star Dou Forest. It could even be said that Gu Yuena personally delivered him to the old man's care when he was a baby.

Anping had no idea why Gu Yuena did that. Why did she ask the Myriad Demon King to bring him to the human world and raise him? Why did she made Myriad Demon King fake his death and escape? Why did she approach him again after she transformed? Anping was clueless.

The reason for Anping's memory problems was not because of anyone's conspiracy, but because he had been carried through the world barrier by the Sky of Truth before, causing his mind to become unstable and his memory to become confused.

Anping lived in a state of bewilderment before he was three years old. It was also the first time for the Myriad Demon King to take care of a human child. He had no experience and thought it was normal, so he didn't pay much attention.

Thanks to the continuous enhancement of his soul state, Anping was able to sort out all his memories in an instant.

After sorting out his memories, Anping began to check his status after the breakthrough. First of all, his martial spirit was gone, but it had little impact on him. Then there was his soul, which turned into an existence similar to a contracted pet.

Although his martial spirit was shattered and merged with the source of magic power, Anping also understood the true meaning of the book that he had. It was a link to the library called the Sky of Truth.

As for the identity of the library, it was not something Anping could perceive now. He could only project the library into his consciousness space.

In Anping's perception, he could only control whether the library was hidden in the void or revealed in reality, and he could not move it.

As for the specific function, Anping could only perceive one for the time being, which was positioning. As long as Anping did not leave this universe, he could sense the location of the bell tower.

As for Yun Ming, who could not get close to the island within a hundred kilometers radius before, he would still be unable to do so without Anping's permission if he came here again.

It could be said that from now on, this island and a hundred kilometers around it would be Anping's private domain. As long as the entire universe was not destroyed, or the will of the universe did not intervene, this range would not change even if the planet was annihilated.

All in all, except for the somewhat unclear reason for the attention of the world's will, Anping felt that his breakthrough was perfect.

After calming his emotions, Anping walked out of the room.

Seeing Anping walk out of the room, Gu Yuena asked with concern: "Is the breakthrough completed?"

Looking at Gu Yuena in front of him, Anping felt very conflicted. He didn't know how he should face her in the future, so he replied: "It was quite successful."

"Why do you seem a little strange after you came out? Did something unexpected happen?" Gu Yuena could clearly sense the inexplicable change in Anping's mentality before and after his breakthrough, and her tone sounded a bit anxious.

Anping thought for a moment, decided to confront Gu Yuena, and said after a while: "I know everything. Can you tell me what your purpose is in approaching me?"

Gu Yuena asked: "You know everything? What do you know?"

"See for yourself." He said and waved his hand to share the memory he had recovered with Gu Yuena.

After reading the memories Anping shared, Gu Yuena felt more conflicted than Anping and asked, "So do you think I'm approaching you because of some conspiracy? Or do you think I'm approaching you to harm you?"

"After so many years of getting along, I can feel that you don't mean me any harm, but I don't know the other reasons, so I came to ask you." Anping sat opposite Gu Yuena and shook his head slightly.

Gu Yuena said seriously: "I didn't intend to harm you. If I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn't let the Demon King raise you. He is the old man you have been talking about. It is worth mentioning that he also likes you very much."

"As for me approaching you, there are two reasons. For some unknown reason, the will of this planet has been trying to influence me, and it even succeeded for a while, when the Myriad Demon King faked his death and escaped. Later, a wave of fluctuations interrupted the planet's influence on me. I can feel that the fluctuation is related to the book that brought you to the Star Forest."

"So I think as long as I'm close to you, I won't be affected by the will of the planet anymore."

Anping could tell from Gu Yuena's mood swings that she was not lying, but she suddenly stopped while talking, which made Anping a little puzzled, so he couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say there are two reasons? What is the other one?"

Gu Yuena said: "Before talking about the second reason, can I ask you a question?"

Anping said: "Of course, you can ask."

"What I want to ask is what do you think of soul beasts? Do you think soul beasts can coexist peacefully with humans?" Gu Yuena asked in a serious tone.

Anping said: "What do I think of soul beasts, a type of creature? Is that what you mean? As for whether they can coexist peacefully with humans, according to the current situation of Douluo Continent, there is only one way, and that is, there is a person who is strong enough to force humans and soul beasts to coexist peacefully."

"Okay, I understand. As for the second reason, I said it was the guidance of fate. Do you believe it?" Gu Yuena seemed to be afraid that Anping would doubt the truth of her words, and added: "As the master of the soul beast, I can sense the fate of the Soul Beast clan, and since your martial soul awakened, I can feel that my destiny and that of the Soul Beast clan are tied to you."

"What fate?" Anping sighed.

Anping had seen descriptions of fate in many wizards' manuscripts. Destiny was real, and even powerful wizards could control the power of fate.

From the perspective of a wizard, destiny was the development trend of the world determined by the will of the world. The only thing Anping didn't understand was whether the relationship between him, Gu Yuena, and the soul beast clan was a natural outcome, or whether it was the result of the will of the world's active interference.

It might even be both. First of all, Anping's current body was composed of the gold of living beings and the energy of Gu Yuena. In addition, the two breakthroughs had attracted the attention of the world's will, so Anping had such a speculation.

But no matter what the reason was, Anping, who had just reached the level two wizard, could not resist.

Seeing Anping sigh and stop talking, Gu Yuena asked, "What? Don't you believe it?"

Anping shook his head slightly and said: "I believe it, why wouldn't I? It's just that I never thought it would be for this reason."

Gu Yuena said: "Actually, I'm quite happy spending this time with you. If you don't want to bear this fate, I can leave."

Anping could feel that Gu Yuena really meant it, but he still shook his head slightly and said, "No, let's stay together. I'm very happy too. Please take care of me in the future."

Gu Yuena smiled and said, "Please take care of me."

What Anping didn't say was that whether this connection arose naturally or was done by the will of the world, the bond of fate could not be broken just because two people were separated.

Another reason was that Gu Yuena was really beautiful, and she also had money!

Anping suddenly thought of a question and asked, "I have another question. Why didn't you make it clear when you first approached me?"

Gu Yuena thought for a while and said, "Well, I thought it was very interesting, and I didn't expect you to have memory problems."

Anping said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. I remember you said that the will of the planet has always wanted to influence you, right?"

"Well, is there any problem? Do you know why?" Gu Yuena asked doubtfully.

"Do you still remember what I was worried about in the hotel?" Before Gu Yuena could answer, Anping asked himself, "You know that I am not a naturally occurring soul of this planet, right? What I am worried about is being discovered by the will of the planet."

"Why didn't you mention it when we were in the hotel? What does it matter if your soul is not naturally produced by this planet? Does this have anything to do with the will of the planet trying to influence me?" Hearing what Anping said, Gu Yuena became even more confused.

Anping said: "There is actually only one answer to these questions. The current will of the planet is not the original will of Douluo Star. The original will of the planet has been replaced by someone else. The current will of the planet is the father of Tang San, the God of the Sea."

Gu Yuena was also extremely smart. Anping had explained many things that she had not figured out before, but now she understood them, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

However, she did not show her anger, but asked with some worry: "So you are not worried about being discovered for discussing him now?"

Anping nodded and explained: "Of course I'm not worried, because now the 100 kilometers around this island is my territory. Without my permission, even if he is the will of the planet, he can't even think of appearing in this range."

"So confident? Also, why did you say that a hundred kilometers around this island is your territory?" Gu Yuena was a little surprised when she heard Anping's explanation.

"Do you still remember that bell tower?" Anping told Gu Yuena about the origin and function of the bell tower.

After hearing Anping's explanation, Gu Yuena nodded slightly and asked, "Can this place be a little smaller, otherwise..."

Although Gu Yuena didn't finish speaking, Anping could probably guess her thoughts and said, "You want to say that the soul beasts will move here? Have you forgotten the plane debris? Wait until I get familiar with the abilities after the breakthrough, then it will be almost ready to be made."

Gu Yuena said: "I remember you said that the space built by the plane debris needs time to grow, right? And it is a closed space after all."

Anping said: "The space constructed by the plane debris takes time to grow, and there is nothing we can do about it. If you don't want a closed space, another way is to move the soul beasts to a new habitable planet. And if you look beyond the universe, this universe is not a larger closed space."

"Okay, let's not talk about these troublesome things. Now that your breakthrough has been completed, have you figured out where the first stop of your trip will be?" After calming down, Gu Yuena asked with a smile.
