Chapter 664 - Master Of The Stairway To Heaven (1/2)
Yuan swallowed nervously as he watched the faint light gradually approach his direction.
”Master… Is it really you?” The childish voice continued to resound in the darkness.
”I think you're mistaking me for someone else. This is my first time in this place.” Yuan said.
”No…”
Once the light was right in front of him, it started transforming until it took the shape of a human with a child-like figure.
A few moments later, a cute little girl with long, glistening black hair that dragged on the floor stood before him.
She stared at him intensely with her sharp golden eyes and continued to speak, ”While you have a different appearance, your soul is the same. You are definitely my Master. I will never mistake my Master for someone else.”
”You don't remember me, Master?” She asked him after a moment of silence.
Yuan narrowed his eyes at this little girl and sighed inwardly, 'She's definitely talking about one of my past lives, right?'
After another moment of silence, Yuan asked, ”Who or what are you?”
”Tian'er is the guardian of Stairway to Heaven.”
”Guardian? Like its Master?”
”No, Tian'er is merely a guardian. I protect this place and uphold its integrity. Master… You are the real Master of the Stairway to Heaven. You really don't remember?”
”What? I am the Master of this place?” Yuan was left baffled by this information.
Just what kind of person was he in his past life? How did he become the Master of the Stairway to Heaven that connects the Nine Heavens?
”Alright… Before we continue this conversation, where did my friends go? They entered this place with me.” Yuan asked about Meixiu and the others.
”They were transported to another place as spectators because they are not participating in the ascension. They will be able to watch you clear the trials once it begins,” she said.
”I see… That's relieving to hear.” Yuan released a sigh of relief after learning that they were safe and sound.
”Okay, let's get back to our conversation— Can they also hear me right now?” He suddenly asked.
”No, they cannot hear us right now.”
Yuan nodded and continued, ”Can you tell me the name of your Master?”
”Tian Yang,” she quickly responded.
”I knew it…” Yuan sighed again.
Tian Yang was the name of the handsome man in his dream— the first one he ever met.
”You probably won't believe me when I say this, but I am actually a reincarnation of Tian Yang, hence why I have the same soul as him…”
Tian'er didn't react to his words and spoke in a calm voice, ”I believe the Master.”
”Wait… Since you knew my past self, can you tell me about him? I am missing some— a lot of my memories because of my reincarnation, so it'll be great if you can refresh some of my memories.”
Tian'er shook her head and said, ”I don't know much about Master— perhaps even less than you since the Master never spoke of his life outside this world.”
”If that's the case, can you tell me what you know? Anything will do— even your relationship with him.”
