The Law of Heaven

Chapter 103 The Truth About Mr. Bei
Aihara took a deep breath and felt that even the damp air in the warehouse had become fresher. The world finally seemed cleaner in his eyes and was no longer so murky.

Finally died.

That old man is finally dead.

Ever since his second uncle died, the old man's shadow has always loomed over him, making him live in constant fear.

We don't know when they will make their move.

I don't know what dirty tricks they might play.

He was constantly on guard against a cornered dog resorting to desperate measures.

Fortunately, he was ruthless enough to finally eliminate this major threat after some maneuvering.

Perhaps Ye Xun never imagined that after a lifetime of forbearance and scheming, and always navigating between various forces with ease, he would end up like this.

Evil people will get their just desserts.

He deserves to live like this.

"Now, the only culprit who killed your mother should be that Fu Bao, right? I've heard that Fu Bao is a crown-level longevity species. I wonder if we can kill that old bastard after we both break through to the Ascension stage."

He looked at the old man's body and said softly.

"Ah."

Jiang Youqing raised her cool eyes, glanced at him, and said indifferently, "I don't mind if you continue to hold my hand, but I think we should deal with that teddy bear now. It looks like a gluttonous bear, a very rare storage-type living being, storing something inside."

"Oh, sorry."

Aihara then realized what was happening and quickly let go of the girl's hand, the soft, cool touch instantly disappearing.

Now that the two of them have been working side by side more often, it's inevitable that they'll have some close contact, like shaking hands or putting their arms around each other's waists, and he's gotten used to it.

My beloved concubine has a wonderful feel to it; it's so lovely that I can't put her down.

"Thank you."

Jiang Youqing said softly.

"Ah."

Aihara knew what she was thanking her for.

Perhaps due to childhood trauma, Jiang Youqing experiences hand tremors whenever she thinks of her mother, causing her to be unable to fire a gun.

Aihara had noticed this problem last time, so this time he held her hand and helped her fire the gun.

Logically speaking, Jiang Youqing is a person with a strong sense of boundaries, but she has never resisted his help.

Silence fell on both sides.

It seems a bit awkward.

In the end, Jiang Youqing squatted down, picked up the gluttonous bear that had fallen to the ground, and poked its belly.

Who is the gentlest woman in the world?

The gluttonous bear actually spoke human language and danced wildly.

Jiang Youqing frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her cool eyes, and asked, "It does seem to be Xiang Chaonan's style... but now that Ye Xun is dead, can we really crack this code?"
Was the gentlest woman in the world his first love, his wife, or his daughter?

Aihara waved his hand, and to avoid revealing his identity, he placed his hand on the old man's body.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Youqing asked with a puzzled look.

“I am using the living spirit to read his memories.”

Aihara was talking nonsense with a straight face.

Jiang Youqing was taken aback: "You have such a thing?"

Aihara casually explained, "It's not very reliable, and we might not be able to get any useful information, but let's give it a try."

After pretending for a moment, he extended his hand.

Jiang Youqing handed the gluttonous bear to him.

Their fingertips touched slightly.

Another pause.

Aihara awkwardly pinched the gluttonous bear's belly.

Who is the gentlest woman in the world?

The gluttonous bear spoke human language once again.

Aihara said expressionlessly, "Ashi."

"correct answer!"

The gluttonous bear happily spat out a recording pen.

Jiang Youqing was dumbfounded.

"Who is Ah Xiang?"

She was completely baffled.
“Do you remember that diary of a foot masseuse at Huangtian Foot Massage Center? Xiang Chaonan mentioned it.”

Looking at her disbelieving expression, Aihara sighed and said, "Don't doubt yourself. You're not that you're not smart enough, you're just not as lewd and despicable as him."

Jiang Youqing was speechless.

But her gaze fell on the recording pen.

I suddenly became a little curious.

Xiang Chaonan went to great lengths to infiltrate the Shi family, only to end up hiding such a small recording pen?
Aihara picked up the recording pen: "I think we'll figure out what's going on soon."

They both looked at each other.

Click.

The button on the voice recorder was pressed.

Aihara and Jiang Youqing were both stunned and looked at each other in disbelief.

A deep, hoarse voice came from the recording pen: "My name is Mr. Bei. I am about to tell you a story about myself. Whoever finds this recording pen, please listen patiently, because it contains the method to stop the Formless Rebirth Ritual..."

Ruan Yun was slightly taken aback. The wind and rain lashed against his face, and for a moment he felt as if he had returned to many years ago.

"Brother, I almost don't recognize you anymore."

He was very ill at that time and didn't have the money for surgery, so he could only take some cheap Chinese medicine to relieve his symptoms, which made him increasingly thin and pale, like a zombie.

At that time, he also had to go out to deliver food.

His sister clung to him, refusing to let him leave, and finally, touching his face, she cried and said this.

Ruan Yun used to be most afraid of her younger sister's tears.

Are you going to cry in front of me?

He smiled silently.

His laughter was terrifying.

"I won't cry anymore."

Ruan Qi also remembered that incident and said softly, "After that, the Bliss Society came looking for you. Sometimes I think, if we hadn't gone out that day, but had stayed at home and never met those people, and had just died in each other's arms, would we have been happier?"

The wind blew her long white hair, which flowed like scattered snowflakes, but her face was as terrifying as a demon.

Ruan Yun gazed at her face and smiled faintly: "No, even though we are monsters with extraordinary talents and can do many things that ordinary people cannot, we will still be bullied. Because we are weak, because we are kind. I still get scorned when I deliver food, I get bullied when I work on construction sites, I get beaten when I sell vegetables at a stall, and I get rejected by doctors when I go to the hospital."

I don't mind suffering a little hardship, but I don't want you to be bullied at school, looked down upon by teachers and school leaders. I don't want you to sit at your parent-teacher conference wearing a smelly work uniform, facing disdainful and contemptuous glances from others. Of course, I also don't want you to never have new clothes, wearing the same old dress all year round, unable to afford a new pair of shoes, and having your hair clips given to you by classmates.

"Living like that, what's the difference between you and a stray dog?"

His voice was soft, yet it sounded like a wicked sorcerer uttering a vicious curse in a dark forest.

Accompanied by lightning and thunder.

It's as if it's questioning the world.

His face, which resembled that of a demon, was so ferocious.

It sounded like a roar.

It also seemed like she was crying.

Ruan Qi was also gazing at her silently, but his fierce golden eyes revealed a rare sadness.

So much sorrow.

They came together.

"But brother, you bought me that old dress, and I really like it. I also want to save up to buy you a new pair of shoes; your shoes were even found somewhere. The hair clip my classmate gave me also made me very happy..."

She said softly, "But since I came here, I have never been as happy as I was back then."

Ruan Yun suddenly asked, "So, where did that dress go? Did you buy new shoes? Do you still have the hair clip?"

Ruan Qi shook his head sadly: "They're all gone."

The brother and sister looked at each other silently.

At this moment, they finally understood.

Although they had lived together here for so many years, the brother and sister had long since crossed the crossroads of fate. Now they looked at each other across the river.

Neither of them will agree with the other anymore.

Ruan Yun said indifferently, "I don't want to live that kind of life. Don't try to persuade me to turn back. My pain and hatred have long since drowned out the past."

Along with my past self, I died too. You know what? The most despairing thing in this world is being deprived of the ability to feel happiness. Now, I hate everything I see… I just want to drag this world down with us, to be buried with it.

Ruan Qi clenched her fist: "Does that include me?"

Just like countless times before, Ruan Yun casually waved her hand to wipe away the rain.

"This is fate, so why struggle? Only one of us can survive. But if you devour me, with your weakness, can you really survive? You won't choose to become a god who roars across the world; you'll just cower in a place you think is safe and hide there, waiting for those people to come and kill you."

Rather than that, let me devour you, so we can be together forever. I'll never have to worry about you being bullied again, because you're a part of me.

A strange black bloodshot appeared in Ruan Yun's scarlet vertical pupils, and his voice sounded like the whisper of a devil.

Ruan Qi smiled sadly: "Brother, you should also know the risks of the Formless Rebirth Ritual. Our consciousness will most likely be replaced by the will of Heaven."

Her voice was soft.

It seemed as if it could be swallowed up by the wind at any moment.

"You don't understand anything."

Ruan Yun looked up at the sky and said coldly, "I'm someone who crawled out of hell. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I'll still try."

A brief silence followed, broken only by the torrential downpour.

"Brother, you've really changed."

Ruan Qi let out a soft breath.

"You've changed too."

Ruan Yun said calmly, "You used to be very obedient."

The head of the Shi family, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke, lamenting, "This is fate, the sins committed by the Deep Blue Alliance. This is the curse you were born with, destined to kill your own flesh and blood."

Now I am a witness to this ultimate ceremony. I will witness the battle between you siblings, and I will also witness the descent of the gods, the arrival of the divine kingdom…”

The old man couldn't finish his sentence.

Because both siblings glanced at him.

The old man was lifted up by the powerful field of his will.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky.

The ancient dragon, perched atop the clouds, unleashed a furious breath. Its left eye flowed with intense molten gold, while its right eye revealed a ferocious crimson. It seemed as if divinity and demonic nature had merged together, descending in a divine and demonic form.

The two domineering mental fields merged together, and the body of the old patriarch of the Shi family shattered like porcelain, cracking inch by inch, with blood flowing like a waterfall.

Once a powerful being of the highest rank and longevity, earning the name "Dead Demon," he now faces no chance to struggle in his twilight years, easily crushed and ravaged.

Because he is too old.

He was an elder of the Shi family a hundred years ago.

Having witnessed the changes of history.

It has witnessed the changing times.

He suffered too many wounds throughout his long life.

Even if they retained their fighting ability, they were no match for these two monsters and could only be manipulated at their mercy.

There was a click.

The old man was like a deflated soda can.

Collapse, distortion.

he died.

"There's no one in the way now."

Ruan Yun pointed to the wind chimes in all directions: "The missing wind chime should be in your hands, right?"

"Ah."

Ruan Qi responded, took the wind chime out of his pocket, and gently hung it on the last boulder.

The five wind chimes rang out crisply and melodiously in the downpour.

It's like a tidal wave.

"Try it, try to devour me."

Ruan Yun suddenly said, "Let me see how you've grown."

Ruan Qi looked into his eyes, as if she could no longer understand his gaze, and said with pursed lips, "Brother, actually, all these years... I really regret it."

Ruan Yun said self-deprecatingly, "Do you regret having a brother like me?"

There was a bang.

"So that's what you were thinking?"

Ruan Qi arrived in an instant, landing a palm on his head. A powerful dragon's might erupted, accompanied by lightning and thunder, churning dark clouds, and torrential rain.

Ruan Yun let out a shrill roar of anger.

The dragon's roar resounded throughout heaven and earth.

The mountains shook.

"What I really regret is that I didn't stand by your side, protect you, take care of you, or get into your heart all those years... which led to you becoming the way you are now."

Hot tears streamed down Ruan Qi's fierce golden eyes as she whispered, "I never intended to devour you. If you needed to eat me to survive, of course I would. But I can't let you continue to do evil. The kind you of the past wouldn't want to see all this."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Brother, we've committed too many sins. I'll go to hell with you, okay?"

There was a boom.

The world seemed to collapse before Ruan Yun's eyes.

His body seemed to be breaking apart as well.

The soul cried out in anguish under immense pressure.

The immense shock overwhelmed his reason.

I don't know when, but my once weak and incompetent younger sister has somehow acquired such great power.

He perfectly mastered the power of the mirage dragon.

If she wanted to devour him, she could.

"No matter how far hell is, I'll be with you..."

Ruan Qi's resolute voice was drowned out by the thunder and lightning.

Ruan Yun suddenly clenched her fist, and the five wind chimes swayed in the wind, as if playing a melody from the depths of her soul.

"Does the road to hell require companionship?"

Accompanied by the sound of wind chimes.

The siblings' souls began to merge.

The ancient dragon coiled in the sky, poised to take flight.

The mountains trembled, and crimson and golden spiritual energy surged forth like a dragon vein, illuminating the endless night.

At that very moment, Aihara and Jiang Youqing's brains went into a malfunction, completely ceasing to function.

"I am Mr. Bei, and I am about to tell you a story about myself. Whoever finds this recording pen, please listen patiently, because it contains the method to stop the formless rebirth ritual..."

My real name is Ruan Yun. I have a younger sister named Ruan Qi. Our father is Ruan Xiangtian, the former chairman of Deep Blue Union. Because of the tragedy that occurred within Deep Blue Union more than ten years ago, my sister and I were cursed by our biological father and were separated from our mortal bodies to become hosts of the Heavenly Principle.

That incident was a conspiracy by the Bliss Society. Members of the Five Blessings placed us in an orphanage to grow up, deliberately creating a tragic childhood for my sister and me in an attempt to distort our thoughts and mislead our understanding.

My siblings and I, as hosts of the Heavenly Principle, possess abilities unimaginable to ordinary people: heightened senses, strong bodies, and faster development. At a very young age, we have near-adult physiques and intelligence, yet we are tormented by a genetic disease, suffering daily in agony.

We lived in poverty, almost desperate for medical treatment. But those days of relying on each other were happy; at least we were still ourselves.

Throughout my sister's and my childhood, there was a person who always approached us under various guises, instilling in us the idea of ​​the survival of the fittest in various ways. That person used the pseudonym "Gospel." He appeared before me when I was ten years old, opening the path of evolution for me. Coincidentally, it was precisely when we were tormented by a genetic disease to the point of despair that his invitation was impossible to refuse.

To survive, my sister and I were forced to join the Shi family, becoming their most prized experimental subjects. The Shi family was a power supported by the Bliss Society, essentially their pawns. We entered the alternate side of the Misty Mountain to undergo experiments and modifications. It was an extremely painful process; we even died many times, only to be inexplicably reborn each time.

The Gospels say that we are chosen by God and cannot die in a conventional way; our only way to survive is through evolution, constantly devouring other life forms to evolve. This cruel way of survival makes me nauseous.

But we have no choice, for our consciousness is gradually being dominated by the will of Heaven. I am not making excuses for myself; I am indeed a sinner, but I truly cannot control my body. It no longer belongs to me; it also belongs to that noble deity.

I don't trust the Shi family, much less the Bliss Society. My destiny must be in my own hands, and I absolutely cannot accept handing my sister's fate over to others. Therefore, while undergoing experimental modifications, I was also learning their techniques. I concealed my changes in ability, mastered unexpected powers, created the identity of Mr. Bei, and waited for an opportunity to go out and operate.

However, my strength alone is always limited. I have come into contact with many people as Mr. Sorrow. The Deep Blue Alliance, the Secret Meeting of Elixir, the Central True Pivot Academy... I don't know who I can trust. No one is qualified to be my companion.

In the end, there was only one person I felt I could trust, and his background gave me hope. That person's name was Xiang Chaonan, from a collateral branch of the Xiang family of Jiuge. His ancestor had once awakened the Pure Eye.

It was that ancestor of the Xiang family, who possessed the Pure Eyes, who found the secret technique of Formless Rebirth on that forbidden path. That kind of spiritual inheritance disease possesses unexpected abilities.

After several attempts, Xiang Chaonan and I became online friends. He was the only comrade I could trust on this path. We studied the Wuxiang Rebirth Ritual together for many years, entrusted our lives to each other, and shared joys and sorrows.

We all have family members we desperately need to save, and reasons why we have to fight tooth and nail. To protect the person we cherish most, he and I devised a secret plan…
