"Really, have you never doubted your origins?"
Liu Zhaodi found a topic to discuss as soon as the matter was brought up, and encouraged, "Why don't you use your Death Sensation at your adoptive parents' graves? You might get some important information!"
"this……"
Jiang Yuan became troubled. To put it nicely, this was impolite; to put it bluntly, it was outrageous. Regardless, his adoptive parents had raised him to the age of ten, paving the way for his most difficult ten years.
"Don't feel pressured. Your adoptive parents died in an accident back then, and you're doing this to find out why they died." Liu Zhaodi subtly changed the subject, trying to ease Jiang Yuan's pressure.
"This..." Jiang Yuan's lips twitched. He couldn't deny that Liu Zhaodi's words did indeed tempt him.
He's already thirty years old, including the time acceleration, but he still doesn't know where he came from.
While parents are alive, life still has a source; when parents are gone, life is only a journey back. But he only has a literal understanding of the word "parents," let alone a source or a journey back. He is like a forgotten duckweed, drifting aimlessly with the current.
"There's one more thing: Emperor Jiang Tian is actually a non-existent person." Liu Zhaodi risked divine retribution to transmit the information she knew to Jiang Yuan.
“It doesn’t exist!” Jiang Yuan was taken aback.
Liu Zhaodi looked at the tombstone in front of her and then slowly said, "The nine battlefields of the Imperial Star spanned billions of years, but Emperor Jiang Tian has existed for billions of years. No god can live that long. Moreover, each battlefield is cleansed after it ends. Gods either go to that place or perish. There are no other choices but these two paths."
“But Emperor Jiang is real, and I challenged him in the Milky Way.” Although Jiang Yuan was puzzled, he still expressed his opinion. If Emperor Jiang did not exist, then he would be even more confused about his adoptive father’s identity.
"To put it simply, the Jiang family's history is only ten thousand years old, while Emperor Jiang is an ancient being. To Emperor Jiang, the Jiang family is merely a small ripple in the long river of history. What happened during those countless years of historical discontinuity? Who can be sure that the current Emperor Jiang is the same Emperor Jiang from before, and not an imposter?" Liu Zhaodi was still trying to enlighten Jiang Yuan, but as she finished speaking, the aura of impending doom around her intensified, and reason told her that she could not say any more.
"Okay, I'll give it a try!"
Jiang Yuan finally decided to use his Death Sense to sense his adoptive parents' graves.
"Father, Mother, I'm sorry to disturb you!"
Jiang Yuan offered flowers, bowed, and lingered for half a minute before cautiously using his Death God ability.
To ensure he wouldn't harm his adoptive parents' souls, Jiang Yuan made the Heart of Death beat at its fastest speed, and then spread the Sensation of Death through the Hand of Death. In just a moment, the entire area within a hundred meters was covered by his Reincarnation.
"Yuan'er has no intention of disturbing Father and Mother's rest. I just want to know what caused your accident back then. If it was done by our enemies, then Yuan'er will personally kill them."
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he entered the cycle of reincarnation to search for information about his parents, but the initial results left him speechless.
There was no trace of spirits in his parents' graves, meaning that no one was buried there, which was completely different from any graves he knew.
He was the one who wore mourning clothes and personally carried the coffin to send his adoptive parents off to their final moments, but now there are no remains in the grave, only a cenotaph.
"So, I've been living a lie all along." Jiang Yuan's body went limp; his usually strong-willed nature gave way to his emotions at this moment.
If the world is absurd, do you have the courage to face it all?
Liu Zhaodi noticed the change in Jiang Yuan's mood and stepped forward to support him, asking with concern, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and then said, "It's okay, let me take another look!"
He didn't believe it was a lie, because every lie must have a reason for existing, and what would be the point of deceiving him? Besides, his adoptive parents had taken him in when he was still a child, so why would they deceive a clueless infant who didn't know what fate was?
The sense of death no longer subsided; the fully unleashed power of death seemed poised to turn the grave upside down, and he absorbed every trace of his adoptive parents' presence into his reincarnation.
Demigod!
That's right, the aura he sensed was actually that of a demigod!
The Jiang family couple, who had always appeared ordinary in the Jiang family, were actually both demigods. In fact, if it weren't for the battlefield, the grandeur of their two auras would definitely surpass that of demigods.
"Heh..." Jiang Yuan laughed bitterly. Although he was prepared, he was still in a daze for a long time after receiving this answer.
"Jiang Yuan, maybe we should just give up!" Liu Zhaodi said, biting her lip and pulling on Jiang Yuan's arm with a conflicted expression. She couldn't bear to see him uncover the cruel truth with his own hands.
"It's nothing, I just find it a little funny."
Jiang Yuan didn't let these emotions bother him for too long. Even if the family that existed back then was just a fabricated lie, he now had Liu Zhaodi and a brand new home.
"Let's go, let's have a meal and then leave with the Soul Secret!" Liu Zhaodi looked distressed. She shouldn't have let Jiang Yuan go to check his adoptive parents' graves; perhaps that would have given Jiang Yuan some hope.
"good!"
Jiang Yuan gave up. Since the past is gone, let it go with the wind.
However, the moment the cycle of reincarnation ended, the slumbering Soul River began to stir. A Soul River that stretched to the end of the void lay before Jiang Yuan, accompanied by a man and a woman walking hand in hand.
"Them?" Liu Zhaodi was startled when she saw the newcomers; this was too much of a coincidence.
"Yuan'er, you've come after all!" The woman who walked hand in hand with Jiang Yuan smiled gently, but there was a hint of bitterness and relief in that smile.
