Chapter 467: Alive

Lying on his deathbed and reviewing the life hed lived, Yang Fu had been filled with deep regrets. Always telling others what they wanted to hear had made things go smoothly for him most of the time, but it also made him into a pushover in their eyes. Hed been seen as a bootlicker or loyal dog and when his master was in trouble, he was tossed to the wolves. Even if it was just the mask he wore for the world, it did nothing to change his lack of power. Hed had to scheme and scrape, growing powerful on his own before finding a new supporter and using them to gain his revenge and claw to a higher position. Yet, even with his new level of strength and support, his attitude still led him to misery.

Without being true to those around him, it inevitably led to him being lied to in turn. It was his karma to be tricked in turn. Married with two children, only years later did he realize it was all a sham. There was absolutely no love from his wife and the children were not even his. Trying to make the best of the situation, he still cared for them and wished to build real relationships with them, but they despised him. Sucking up to the greater powers had given him a stable position, great wealth, and increasing power, but it only made his family hate him. Worse still, the three of them sought revenge against their personal enemies and were killed before Yang Fu could even learn of their difficulties. As much as they disliked him, they didnt even bother to tell him of their enemies or the situation that led them to ruin. He was treated completely as an outsider, used merely to protect them for a time before they left him entirely without any explanation.

Servant. Pet. Puppet. Stooge. Dog. The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

Such a life. So many regrets over how he had been treated welled up within him. Yet, it seemed wrong. It all seemed off.

Yang Fu.

Im not Yang Fu, yet I am Yang Fu.

He was a tyrant, a hero, a conqueror, a healer, a craftsman, a saint, a beggar, a musician, a politician, a father, a brother, a son, a soldier, an entertainer. Dozens of lives played out, each time he tried to find a better path, a life without regrets. Each life was a whole new family, culture, society and world. Sometimes hed try exactly the same as he did the last time, but the circumstances of his new upbringing and surroundings led to drastically different lives. His attitude and desires were important, but the troubles and vicissitudes of life were not under his control. Sometimes he died young due to an accident, or he was killed by a monster in the wilds. Other times he found something valuable and was killed by enemies he didnt know he had, but more often he was robbed and crippled. He became a powerless mortal and lived a life of drudgery.

Remarkably, that led to one of his most fulfilled lives. He was only a mortal, a dockworker unloading goods from the ships that landed at the port. He found happiness with a homely-looking scullery maid and they raised a similarly humble child. Sadly, it had ended with pain. The child inherited his talent to cultivate, but offended someone with power accidentally. Their whole family disappeared from the world just like that.

He experienced so many tragedies, miseries, and injustices. He also experienced manys joys, pleasures, successes, and glories. Only, every single life, it would always end with great regrets. He never passed in peace or with fulfillment. Even as great as some of the lives went, there was always a deep regret that remained. A wish unfulfilled, a dream unrealized, a love lost.

Is it my destiny to die with regret? Over and over again?

That cant be right! In the darkness and silence, Sage felt his conviction return. After experiencing so many lives, he was no longer the same person anymore. His will had been refined through a hundred lives. Did everyone retain the memories of their past lives, but only for a short while before being reborn? Was this what happened to every soul? It sure didnt seem like it. Everytime he died, the memories of his new life paled in comparison to that of his time as Sage and Lang Sheng. Yet, with each new rebirth, those memories seemed to fade slightly. He recalled the situation that led to Lang Shengs death. A relentless column of flames poured down upon his Spiritual Sea.

Something is wrong! Did I really die?
