Gate of God

“It’s him?! He is the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian?” Yan Xiu’s expression changed because he remembered the face and the name.

Fang Zhengzhi.

In the battle in the Heaven Zen Mountain, Fang Zhengzhi was the one who collaborated with Chi Guyan to kill the Space-splitting Demon God and saved the entire Human Alliance.

Then, Fang Zhengzhi went back to the Northern Mountain Village and never stepped into the Holy Region.

However, now…

Fang Zhengzhi appeared in front of him again with the identity of the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian. How would Yan Xiu not be shocked?

However, unlike the shock others had felt, on top of astonishment, Yan Xiu felt another special emotion.

It was a feeling of familiarity.

Yan Xiu was familiar with Fang Zhengzhi’s appearance and name because he had met him once in the Heaven Zen Mountain. However, the feeling of familiarity was definitely not due to the one-off meeting.

What happened?

Why did he have such a strong feeling of familiarity?

Just as Yan Xiu was trying to figure out the reason behind it, a drastic change happened. He heard a voice beside his ear before the voice traveled to a spot behind him.

“Dao Xin, you can now die in peace.” As Fang Zhengzhi’s voice was heard, he had moved to the spot behind Yan Xiu.

( NovelFull )    An azure blue radiance shone in the sky.

It was the Heavenly Rebirth Dao.

Fang Zhengzhi made use of the chance while Yan Xiu and the others were shocked to go around Yan Xiu and reached the spot where Dao Xin was at.

“No!” Yan Xiu regained his senses and wanted to stop Fang Zhengzhi but it was too late. Fang Zhengzhi’s sword was already touching Dao Xin’s throat.

Fresh blood flowed down the tip of the sword.

Yan Xiu knew that it was impossible for him to stop Fang Zhengzhi. He could only stand quietly at the spot and look at the sword on Dao Xin’s throat without moving at all.

“Yes… I should die, actually, I should have died long ago… Xiu, don’t feel sad because of this because I am not worth it.” Dao Xin showed misery and loneliness in her eyes. She was unable to struggle and wanted to say her last words before she died.

“Indeed, you are not worthy enough to make Yan Xiu feel sad,” said Fang Zhengzhi.

“Fang Zhengzhi! You can kill me but you can’t…”

“Friendship? You are not worth it. You only took a glimpse at Yan Xiu’s memory, am I right?” Fang Zhengzhi broke off Dao Xin’s sentence.

“I don’t understand, apart from Dao Hun and I, no third party knew about this. How did you manage to guess it?” Dao Xin shuddered and returned to her usual state of calmness.

Death could indeed make one’s state of mine return to calmness because Dao Xin had given up on resisting due to despair.

“Truth becomes fiction while fiction becomes reality when you mentioned about the co-existence of Yin and Yang, I have made speculation already. The misery on your face after that proved my speculation,” replied Fang Zhengzhi.

“Haha… Fang Zhengzhi lives up to his name. You managed to guess that Yan Xiu’s memory was sealed on me with these two points. I… am speechless.” Dao Xin started laughing suddenly.

“What? Yan Xiu’s memory was sealed on Dao Xin?”

“What’s going on?”

“How did he do that?”

The surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance were shocked when they heard this.

On the other hand, Yan Qianli and Mu Qingfeng widened their eyes because they did not guess that this would happen.

Without saying anything else, Dao Xin slowly shut her eyes close.

Memory surged into her mind like water as she saw Yan Xiu’s birth, experience, and friendship between Yan Xiu and Fang Zhengzhi.

These memories, along with her own memory, sometimes caused her to be confused with whether she was Yan Xiu or herself.

However, these were no longer important.

She was going to die.

“Sister…” Dao Xin mumbled non-stop. It was like a call for someone whom she would never hear from again before she died.

The twin of Yin Yang.

It was an extremely special case that gave Dao Hun and Dao Xin a terrifying gift that was impossible for ordinary people to possess.

However, when this special case and terrifying gift happened in an ordinary family, it became a tragedy.

The birth of Dao Hun and Dao Xin was a tragedy.

( NovelFull )    In fact, Dao Hun was not called Dao Hun when she was born. She was called ‘Li Yulian’, an extremely ordinary name just like her ordinary family, her father who worked in the military, and her mother who was a farmer.

However, nobody had guessed that after ten years, her mother gave birth to Dao Xin.

At that time…

Their father had already died five years ago on the battlefield.

Rumors attacked the family like devils. The countless accusations and scoldings drove their mother to death.

The twin of Yin Yang.

The terrifying presence of the Reverse of Yin Yang was the reason why the second child required at least ten years of pregnancy.

The father died on the battlefield while the mother hung herself when Dao Hun was eleven and Dao Xin was only slightly more than one year old.

Fortunately…

The terrifying giftedness caused Dao Hun to gradually become more powerful, step by step, she exposed Dao Xin to the outside world and Dao Xin eventually became a powerful talent.

At that moment, Dao Hun met another man.

It was an ordinary man but he gave Dao Hun a simple sense of security, allowing her uncertain mind to calm down.

The following days were happy days. Both Dao Hun and the man grew in their level of cultivations.

Finally, the man started to use his powers to accomplish feats and became one of the candidates for the successor of the Yin Yang Hall.

Everything seemed to be working well.

However, it was also that day when the man entered Dao Xin’s room and Dao Hun found out about his real intention.

The twin of Yin Yang.

The co-existence of Yin Yang was only valid if the Yin and Yang were connected.

In order to become the only candidate for the successor of the next Hallmaster of the Yin Yang Hall, the man needed both Dao Hun and Dao Xin to become his “Ding Furnace”.

It rained very heavily that day…

Dao Xin still remembered the distorted expression of the man. He roared ferociously at Dao Hun who wanted to stop him and stabbed her mercilessly.

That day, the man died under the sword of Dao Xin who “did not even have the strength to kill a chicken”.

It was also that day when Dao Xin’s state of mind became calm. She helped her severely injured and anxious older sister up and put a mask on Dao Hun’s face.

“Sister, you are no longer Li Yulian, you are Dao Hun!”

“Dao Hun?!”

From that day onwards, the man lost everything, his life, his body, his soul, his cultivation…

However, he left behind a name for “Li Yulian”.

Dao Hun!

It was a name that belonged to a man.

Li Yulian disappeared from the world. A new Dao Hun was born into the world and a brand new Dao Xin too.

“Kill me!” Dao Xin opened her eyes suddenly and there was a cold gaze in it. She hated everyone in the world who was not loyal.

Moreover, she swore that she would rise above all the men in the world. She wanted to prove that women were not weaker than any men and were, in fact, more powerful.

The position of the Hallmaster of the Yin Yang Hall was no longer sufficient to appease Dao Xin.

She wanted her sister Dao Hun to become the leader of the Human Alliance and the leader of the world. She wanted to prove to the dead man that she and her sister were able to attain the status and powers that men were not able to.

Dao Xin felt that she had been fighting for her powers for her entire life. However, she fell in love with Yan Xiu because she sealed his memory.

She had always wanted to tell Yan Xiu about the story but she was afraid that it would cause Yan Xiu to feel uncomfortable.

After all, she did not come from a privileged background and had an unpleasant blot on her reputation.

Tears streamed down Dao Xian’s eyes.

It flowed along her cheeks to her throat, mixing together with the blood that flowed out from her throat. It dropped continuously on the ground and accumulated to a pool of bloody water.

Dao Xin collapsed on the ground.

Fang Zhengzhi did not give Dao Xin any more chances to speak. Dao Xin also did not tell Yan Xiu about her story before she died.

“Is the love that is caused because of a seal of memory considered real love?” Fang Zhengzhi did not understand love but he knew that Yan Xiu would not regain his memory if he did not kill Dao Xin.

The so-called co-existence of Yin and Yang was actually the cycle of Yin Yang. However, when saving Yan Xiu, Dao Hun forcefully sealed Yan Xiu’s memory in Dao Hun’s soul.

It was a story that was destined to end without a proper ending.

When Dao Hun made this decision, he probably did not think about the possibility that Dao Xin would fall in love with Yan Xiu because of Yan Xiu’s memory.

Yet now…

Dao Xin was dead.

Yan Xiu also collapsed on the ground. He looked as if he was in extreme pain and there was a bright red bloody look in his eyes.

“Ah…” Yan Xiu cupped his head and rolled on the ground. His lost memories surged like spring water into his mind.

“Xiu’er, are you alright?!” Yan Qianli dashed towards Yan Xiu but was forcefully kept away because of the powerful airwave around Yan Xiu.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi reached.

He placed one of his hands gently on Yan Xiu’s shoulder, allowing Yan Xiu’s body to return to a calm state.

After a long time, Yan Xiu’s eyes became calm again and the bloody look disappeared. However, amidst the calmness was a slight feeling of sadness.

He stood up slowly from the ground, got rid of the dirt on his body and turned to Fang Zhengzhi with a look of intimacy.

“I can betray everyone in the world except for one person.” Yan Xiu spoke with the simplest words.

“Hmm.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded. He knew what Yan Xiu meant. By saying that, Yan Xiu had already regained his memory.

However, even though he regained his memory, he did not forget the memories of the Yin Yang Hall.

“Hand me her body.” Yan Xiu turned to Dao Xin.

“Alright.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded again.

Yan Xiu did not say anything else or probe further as there was no explanation required between him and Fang Zhengzhi and no misunderstandings would occur.

“It’s so good to be alive…”

“Yes, we are all alive.” Fang Zhengzhi knew what Yan Xiu was thinking about and what he was implying by his words as he looked around at the dead bodies.

Ping Yang hopped over happily and placed one of her hands on Yan Xiu’s shoulder while her other hand hugged Fang Zhengzhi on his waist.

“Yan Xiu, you were able to regain consciousness because of me. How are you going to thank me for that?” Ping Yang winked at Fang Zhengzhi as she said.

“I don’t need to thank you,” replied Yan Xiu.

“Why?”

“Why should I thank you if I made you help me with my own capabilities?” Yan Xiu asked back.

“…” Ping Yang opened her mouth and her eyes were wide open. Even though she was very good at talking, she was speechless for a moment.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi laughed until he teared up.

“Yan Xiu, it’s so good to be alive.” Fang Zhengzhi looked heartened.

“Yes, we are all alive.” Yan Xiu nodded.

“…” Ping Yang was speechless.

Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu looked at each other and smiled. They did not say anything else as it was not the time for them to reminisce their friendship. There were many other things waiting for them to do.

Yan Xiu turned slowly to Yan Qianli who was on the ground and fell to his knees before giving three kowtows to Yan Qianli. “Sorry, grandfather.”

“Xiu’er, there is nothing to be sorry.” Yan Qianli got up from the ground quickly but there were tears in his eyes.

Yes, the hero that was born in the military camp had tears in his eyes.

Yan Xiu regained his memory.

He was conscious!

As compared to before, Yan Xiu was clearly more mature as he had experienced something that ordinary people never did before.

…

“Zhengzhi, I think you will be interested in a tablet.” Yan Xiu pointed to a location nearby as he got Dao Xin’s body up from the ground.

“Tablet?” Fang Zhengzhi deduced that their location was where Mu Qingfeng found the stone tablet which recorded the “story” when he entered the place.

That was because all the disciples of the Human Alliance stopped there.

He looked at the direction Yan Xiu was pointing at and saw a black stone tablet with black words scribbled all over it.

It was not big and about five feet tall. All the words were gold in color and gave off an ancient aura.

However, the words were not the words of this world. They looked like worms and had special symbols.

“Hmm? I think I recognize all of these words.” Fang Zhengzhi blinked and said after looking at the words engraved on the stone tablet.
