54 Emperor (I)

Andy stood still as he gazed at the murals while his finger ran over the wall.

"Emperor?" His brows furrowed slightly.

"Yes, Emperor, who ruled this world. The savior, but everyone made him the Demon." The voice of the women echoed in the hall.

"What do you mean?" Andy muttered as he turned around to look at the opposite wall.

The wall was dyed black, while some bright and some dull white dot could be seen. Some were in clusters while some were sparse. It looked like a universe.

"Why is it here?" Andy muttered and moved closer to the wall.

"Everything has a meaning," the voice echoed again.

Andy frowned when he heard her words.

"Do you want to listen to a story?" The voice echoed in the Hall.

"What story?" Andy mumbled as his eyes stared at the mural.

"Story of the Emperor," the voice echoed in the hall again.

Andy nodded slightly as his gaze turned to look at the majestic throne.

"This world was mysterious; no one knows when or how it came to be. Some claim that the world was created by immortals, while others claim that it was created by chaos. Throughout history, many people have attempted to discover the secret of the heavens, but no one has been successful."

"Immortals?" Andy frowned when he heard that word.

And as if she understood his doubt, the voice echoed once again, "No one knew, except him and me"

There was a long pause before the voice was heard again. "Heaven is truly mysterious, and people are entangled in threads of destiny. When cultivators were working harder to reach the pinnacle. A lone boy appeared out of nowhere and swept everyone away. Nobody knew where he came from, but he was different from everyone else. Some said he was the child of the heavens, while others said he was the child of hell. But he followed in the footsteps of the conqueror and united every land. Be it the lower world or be it the Heavenly Court, he conquered everyone."

"Heavenly Court?" Andy muttered, his brow furrowed.

"You are in Heavenly Court,"

"Why don't I know about this?" Andy mumbled as his gaze returned to the murals of the Bloody battlefield. In the book, there was no mention of the Supreme World.

But the voice continued, "Maybe someone felt the threat, or maybe destiny has some different plans. There was a bloody war. War to overthrow the Emperor. The war which saw the betrayals. War in which the Emperor fell,"

"But what does it have to do with me?" Andy muttered.

But the sudden laughter filled the hall. "It has everything to do with you. Don't you feel weird about why you transmigrated to this world?"

Andy's eyes went wide when he heard those words. Even though he acted normal but this question was bugging him all the time.

"Why?" He mumbled unconsciously while his hands gripped the sphere.

"Because it was I who forced you to travel the world. I was the one who looked for his soul in this vast universe. I was the one who arranged your meeting with the Demon Lord, and I was the one who tempered with the Destiny."

His grip loosened as the sphere fell to the ground, a dazed look appeared on his face.

"What did you say?" Andy muttered.

"Do you think that it was your luck that you met that Demon Lord? Don't you find it weird that you are different from others? Don't you find it weird that you are able to control others? Don't you find it weird that you are walking in the path of the Emperor?"

There was a long pause before the voice sighed, "It was me who has protected you from the Heavens. The Demon Lord knew that he was just a chess piece in a big game. It was me who arranged everything."

"HAHAHAHAHAHA" Andy stood still for a while before he started laughing like a maniac.

"Interesting, really interesting. To be honest, I understood nothing you said. What Emperor, what reincarnation. I don't give a damn about that. Why should I care that I was the Emperor in some life? I know only one thing. I am enjoying this life. I don' want to make my life a mess by thinking of all this nonsense. What matters to me is how I can make my life more interesting. I don't want to hear all of this bullshit; just answer a few questions for me."

There was no reply from the voice for some time before she sighed and said, "You are just like him. Anyway, ask whatever you want."

"First thing. What was that book?" Andy asked as he picked the sphere from the ground and strolled towards the throne.

"That is the book I created when I tampered with the destiny."

"Oh, care to elaborate?" Andy nodded slightly as he sat on the throne with his legs one over another.

"His last words to me before he died were to look for his soul when the time was right. I tampered with destiny in order to learn about the future of this world. That's where I learned that destiny has plans to force a man to walk the Emperor's path."

Andy's brows wrinkled when he heard those words.

"Fang Yan?"
