Chapter 6: Main Text: A Letter Sent to the Future

Main Text: A Letter Sent to the Future

Awakening from memories,

Li Yijie knows what he now needs to face,

it is a reality without the old man's companionship,

He understands:

The old man doesn't want him to never grow up.

This world always demands a solo duel,

Everyone must face this unknown world alone,

and must win,

Only by winning can everything become possible!

After figuring it out,

Li Yijie cheerfully encouraged himself, saying:

Come on, come on, keep going!

You can definitely do it!

After saying that, Li Yijie stood up.

He thought he was already ready.

A pressure that had long accumulated in his chest,

burst forth with a roar,

Li Yijie stood on a heart‑shaped bed that rippled like water,

looking up at the endless starry sky,

He shouted:

This world, I'm coming,

Are you ready to welcome me?

Let the storm be even more ferocious!

Awoo, awoo, awoo… woo woo woo woo…

Before he had howled enough,

the water‑ripple heart‑shaped bed suddenly underwent,

an unforeseen change unknown to Li Yijie:

Suddenly, the starry sky at the curtain's top whirled swiftly,

countless stars poured down from an unknown depth,

in an instant it shone as bright as daylight,

the starlight reconverged,

by the time Li Yijie noticed,

the bed was already blindingly bright,

Li Yijie could only helplessly shut his eyes tightly.

The upheaval did not stop,

Li Yijie only felt,

an irresistible pull from above.

He was about to lie down to grasp the bed,

when he was mercilessly sucked upward.

Immediately, a miraculous scene unfolded,

as if rewinding a film,

the major and minor events of Li Yijie's twelve years,

were all transformed by the whole starry sky into rows,

one illusion, one scene,

myriad illusions, myriad scenes,

the speed of change,

as if surpassing the brain's computation.

However,

Li Yijie felt,

everything was clear and discernible,

the past was vivid before his eyes,

just like the legendary after‑image reflection,

He couldn't help but wonder: Am I ascending?

Before he could formulate an explanation,

the starry sky suddenly froze,

the star scene halted at the moment when the silver youth and the pink maiden were drawing close,

that very scene of them approaching each other.

The difference this time is,

this time what appeared were the faint star‑light silhouettes of the two.

And Li Yijie gradually moved toward the middle between them.

Soon,

he was sucked to the center of the two,

but he ended up with his back to the pink girl.

At this moment,

Li Yijie finally could see the youth's full face clearly.

It was such a face:

His pair of silver brows were like two,

drawn small silver swords,

with the blades slanting upward,

giving off a stern aura as if pointing a sword to the ends of the earth,

that slowly rippled across this starry sky.

A pair of large eyes,

brilliant as stars,

beneath enchanting lashes,

under their cover,

they were even deeper like the sea,

absorbing heart and soul.

His nose ridge stood sharp,

like a towering peak piercing the heavens,

standing between the starry eyes,

seizing the gaze.

Though his mouth was silent,

it was perfect, like a lover's kiss,

neither biased nor askew,

neither too wide nor too narrow,

neither too high nor too low,

neither sweet nor cloying,

together with that silver‑glowing moonlit face,

it gave Li Yijie a beauty surpassing sound, a peerless elegance!

Brows, eyes, nose, mouth, face,

the five features as one,

even the most fastidious critic,

could hardly find the slightest flaw.

However,

all of this,

still could not compare to the silver sword mark on the youth's forehead.

That sword mark seemed alive,

its blade pointing straight down,

like a slender silver waterfall,

constantly inhaling and exhaling mysterious silver radiance.

The hilt, too, was partially concealed, drawing the soul,

alas, it was hard to see clearly.

At this time,

Li Yijie also could not help but admit:

It was he,

who was the pig that had not yet found the cabbage,

although his large eyes were also eye‑catching,

but among faces there are masters,

he had decided,

henceforth he would follow the path of talent!

Some people are born like this,

looking so good they make others despair,

fortunately,

talent can be acquired later!

After the darkness had just ended,

the silver youth and that pink girl,

naturally scattered into a sky full of starlight.

Seeing this, Li Yijie

felt:

It seems as if this stretch of starry sky has a spirit,

One can faintly feel his tiny thoughts,

And it changes accordingly,

It's truly a miraculous idol.

Meanwhile,

Another voice in his mind told him,

This is very likely the stinky beauty created by Zao Laotou.

What confuses Li Yijie is,

The old man doesn't have that silver sword mark, ah,

Could it be that the sword mark grew legs on its own?

It seems we can only after this trial,

I will go ask the old man in person.

Just as the starlight dispersed,

The wondrous curtain rose again,

Only see the starlight surrounding Li Yijie,

slowly began to spin,

gradually speeding up.

And new starlight kept joining in,

A star cluster with a radius of a thousand zhang,

gradually forming a line,

And Li Yijie was also pulled by the star cluster's pull,

and he also slowly began to spin.

Just as he looked bewildered,

an even more bewildering thing happened,

The starlight slowly drilled into his pores,

as if strands of strange energy,

made Li Yijie feel completely relaxed,

his spirit full to the brim!

Li Yijie simply closed his eyes,

focused on enjoying this wonderful moment,

All his past hardships and mental fatigue,

at this moment,

also seemed to have vanished like smoke.

I don't know how long passed,

seemed like a day,

seemed like a month,

and seemed like a year,

Li Yijie only felt his whole body filled with,

an indescribable sense of power,

like water waves,

flowing through every corner of his body,

sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing,

as if it had life.

Finally,

The starlight faded,

gradually no longer penetrating,

into Li Yijie's pores.

Li Yijie reluctantly opened his eyes,

He really wanted to just close his eyes and never wake up,

forever immersed in this kind of,

joyless and worry-free,

and yet a perfect, carefree wondrous realm.

But the starlight seemed not to hear,

no longer accommodating his little thoughts.

Just as Li Yijie felt a faint regret,

the starlight suddenly turned,

as if being guided by a wonderful hand,

like threading a needle,

winding east and west, it gathered toward,

a point one or two meters ahead of Li Yijie.

Soon,

Star characters, each composed of starlight,

They spread out grandly and abundantly.

Li Yijie focused his gaze and looked.

He saw:

Ha ha,

Little Jiezi,

Have you been struck by my perfect 'youthful countenance'?

It's struck you!

I know you're not good-looking.

Although many girls,

all cherish their looks as life.

But you needn't feel inferior.

To be frank,

In terms of handsomeness,

I dare claim first place,

and no one dares claim second!

Don't paralyze yourself,

This really isn't me boasting,

You should believe the rumors, right?

I vaguely recall the rumors envied me like this:

Throughout history, looks rank first!

No second in looks crown!

To see his face once,

Even nine deaths would be no regret!

That's still fairly reasonable.

Men call me: 'Enemy of Ten Thousand Looks'!

Women,

the somewhat aloof ones,

call me: 'Looks Emperor'!

the somewhat gentle ones,

call me: 'Looks Older Brother'!

Don't mention it,

That voice...

and the somewhat clever and mischievous ones,

call me: 'Looks Calamity Calamity'!

Seeing this,

Li Yijie could no longer endure.

He chuckled:

This old mischief,

truly shameless!

Even if it's true,

don't you know,

wandering the world,

is keeping a low profile the priority!

He really is an old mischief,

He's been an old mischief his whole life.

Although the words are spoken,

his eyes continue to gaze at the star markings.

Again, see:

I'm also helpless,

I actually hate myself,

you know,

but my humble heart,

the world fails to perceive it.

I know you 'appreciate' it,

right?

Sometimes,

I have to say,

We two really get along well,

Even without that person's request,

I would still cherish you.

Just a little mix‑up,

Twelve years have passed,

You went from a tiny bean,

to a slightly larger medium bean.

You perhaps,

can't remember.

The first time I hung you on my shoulder,

you even gave me a meeting gift,

and even now on my "Heaven's Edge Feather",

it still retains the scent of your egg.

At that time,

I really wanted to give you a slap,

to slap you, you little brat,

Who would have thought,

you actually "cry first to snatch people",

it scared me into a fluster,

it wasn't a left‑hand hug,

nor a right‑hand coax,

Do you know?

Back then,

I so wished I could grow a "thing",

to block your little mouth.

Now I think I understand,

Your Dui Technique is something you honed in the womb!

I can't out‑Dui you,

that's normal,

don't you dare look for superiority over me.

Otherwise,

you would win in a very boring way,

Haha!

Alright,

time is limited,

I won't secretly Dui you any more,

I also feel reluctant,

the days we Dui‑ed together,

but that's how days are,

so exasperating!

Forgive me for saying "Alright" again,

People who have been parents are like that,

pulling east, swaying west,

chattering on the left, babbling on the right,

eager to take the mouth off,

bind it to your body,

to admonish you for a lifetime,

Of course I'm the same,

even more so.

Alright, alright,

really can't say more,

I have many more important matters,

to tell you.

Alright,

Little calamity,

listen to me,

from now on,

every word I say,

you must let it die into your skull.

This is an order!

Li Yijie saw this,

and immediately felt that something terrifying was about to happen,

Li Yijie also put away his teasing and comeback mindset.

Then he saw:

Haha,

I made you nervous,

I'm not really sorry,

I still decide to take it easy!

You know,

Primordial Qi is a very magical treasure.

With Primordial Qi,

we can keep our looks at their peak forever,

and reject aging,

and be free from illness,

…

We can also, when we don't feel like walking,

choose to vanish into the ground and soar into the sky.

We can also freely feel the wind at the farthest cape,

the clouds at the ends of the world,

with a single thought,

the dazzling world lets us roam.

How exhilarating!

We can also hold divine power in our hands,

like ancient demigods,

splitting mountains and opening the earth,

casting clouds and spreading rain,

spraying mist and breathing fire…

All of it,

once again so delightfully leisurely!

Although in the world we inhabit,

it can be seen everywhere,

but you must understand,

not every world is as enjoyable as ours.

People are divided into three, six, nine classes,

Similarly,

the world also has its circles/tiers.

The most awesome seems to be called the Mixed Primordial Boundless Realm:

Boundless and infinite, mixed primordial and hazy,

mysterious and mighty, spectacular beyond compare…

Actually,

I haven't been there,

don't laugh, ha,

because it's been several hundred million years,

no one has seen its true form,

Even the famed

Eight Directions Universe,

encompassing all phenomena,

knowing everything,

the strange book's twisted transmission,

only contains fragments about it.

Legend says,

within the Mixed Primordial Boundless Realm,

hides the ultimate of myriad ways,

everything originates from there,

there lies all secrets!

In these billions of years,

I don't know,

how many dashing unparalleled heroes,

I don't know,

how much brainpower and passion they have spent,

But it still could not be unveiled,

The mysterious veil.

Moreover, there were rumors that,

The Primordial Chaos Boundless Realm awaits an opportunity,

An opportunity capable of overturning the entire world,

An opportunity that could even change all the myriad Dao under heaven.

If we say,

Whoever can possess this opportunity,

Whoever can then be honored as the supreme of this vast universe,

Boundless eight directions!

However,

No one knows,

What this opportunity is,

Some say,

It is a supreme divine artifact,

Others say,

It is an ancient place,

But a secret realm long since desolate.

This secret realm can serve as,

A natural springboard to the Primordial Chaos Boundless Realm.

Even some say,

The entire cosmic star sea,

Is waiting for a person,

Either with peerless bearing,

Or unmatched talent;

Or having endured countless eons,

Or a late bloomer;

Perhaps male, perhaps female,

Or perhaps waiting for me,

To bring this world soaring,

That's also possible,

You know,

I am the most likely,

Right?

Haha,

You retort at me,

I can't even hear it,

No one feels this way anymore!

Hahaha, hahaha……

You just can't retort at me,

Just waiting for me to retort at you!

Haha……

I'm really too excited today,

I can't even control myself,

Really, haha!

"Old man,

You wait for me,

Having endured the retorts,

I can only calm down by retorting back!"

Li Yijie roared with laughter and said a few lines,

After speaking,

He somehow pulled out a little notebook from somewhere,

Scribble-scribble,

Not knowing what he was writing.

Li Yijie suppressed his urge to retort,

And continued reading,

Seeing:

Alright,

I'll stop,

I'll stop,

I stop.

In short,

it's that no one knows,

what that opportunity is.

That works too,

you know.

There's also a legend,

the Mixed Origin Boundless Realm has long since shattered,

into three world fragments,

so that opportunity is needed,

to re‑grant the boundless's glory!

The tier below the Mixed Origin Boundless Realm,

is the True Origin Flower Realm,

the Dao Origin Void Realm and the Heavenly Origin Martial Extreme Realm,

These three great worlds,

are like three massive clouds,

drifting through the entire dark void,

and are hard to grasp,

truly sublime!

Below the three,

the boundaries become unclear,

Broadly they can be divided into,

the Primordial Qi Realm and the Qi-less Realm,

as the names suggest,

so I say we're still relatively comfortable,

right?

However,

that isn't absolute,

because there exists another,

phenomenon called "Primordial Qi Drift."

That is to say,

if a Primordial Qi Realm shatters,

then,

its internal Primordial Qi,

will drift at extreme speed through the dark void.

Suppose,

a Qi-less Realm is nearby,

and sufficiently large.

Then,

the starry gravity of the Qi-less Realm,

will capture some Primordial Qi,

to nourish itself,

to activate its stored life‑Qi function,

thereby circulating back,

growing larger,

its inner living beings,

will also become stronger.

As for us now,

which world we are in,

Hehe,

I won't tell you,

you'll find out later yourself,

perhaps…

perhaps…

But the universe is so vast!

Hehe, hehe…

However,

there is no free Primordial Qi from the heavens.

When a Qi-less Realm becomes a Primordial Qi Realm,

it also faces tremendous tribulation.

How big is it?

There is.

It might just be a mountain collapse and earth fissure,

a minor calamity like the sea turning into mulberry fields;

But there is,

it could be the next wasteland!

However,

Things are in human hands,

Man can conquer calamities, after all,

Old man, I've always believed in you,

You know,

Haha!

Alright,

You go back quickly,

Stay a bit longer,

I can't stand it any longer.

Still that classic line:

Safe travels,

Take care on the way,

Take good care of yourself,

Come back alive,

I'll be waiting for you to confront me!

xxx year xxx month xxx day

Forever and ever loving you,

Old man!

Ah,

Too cheesy,

But,

For you,

I'm willing!
