《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 55: Change of Status
Advertisement
"Your father?" Yun Qianxue asked, and everyone looked at Yun Lintian for the answer.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment before he replied, "It's hard to describe in one or two sentences." He looked at them and asked, "Do you believe in reincarnation?"
Yun Ruanyu was the first who responded, "I believe everything has to go through Samsara. So I think reincarnation is also true."
The others also nodded their heads in agreement.
Yun Lintian said, "Actually, the current life is my second life. I used to live in the world called Earth and died in the past. I don't know how did I reincarnate again. When I opened my eyes, I already found myself in an infant's body."
Yun Qianxue frowned and felt complicated after hearing this. She believed Yun Lintian didn't lie to her, and his maturity that mismatched with his age had proved everything.
Seeing everyone fell into deep thoughts, Yun Lintian said nothing further. Before this, he had considered for a long time whether he should tell them about this, and in the end, he concluded it would be better to tell them directly.
For everyone in this room, Yun Lintian trusted them completely and believed even if one day the whole world had betrayed him, they would be the last person to betray him. Thus, he had no worry by telling them his secret. As for whether they would change their views on him, he had mentality prepared.
Yun Qianxue's eyes became resolute as she raised her head to look at Yun Lintian. She said, "From now on, you're not my foster son anymore."
"Sister!" Yun Ruanyu and others hurriedly stopped Yun Qianxue.
However, Yun Qianxue didn't react as she continued, "And they are not your aunts anymore. Since you become the Sect Master, you should call us by our names from now on."
Yun Lintian was shocked and felt lost in his heart. However, he quickly calmed himself down, as he had already prepared for this. He looked at Yun Qianxue and said, "Do you want me to return the position to Aunt Ruanyu… Ugh. I mean, to Senior Yun Ruanyu."
Yun Qianxue shook her head. "You don't have to. You will be remained as our sect master until you die."
Yun Lintian looked at Yun Qianxue for a long time. He knew, from now on, their relationship would become complicated. Although he felt lost, it was understandable. If one day he found out someone close to him was a reincarnated person with memory intact, he would be shocked as well. He could only hope they could slowly accept him in the future.

However, what Yun Lintian didn't aware of was Yun Qianxue had deliberately used this chance to change their status. She knew herself very well that she had a feeling for him. It might look immoral and illicit as they had a mother-son relationship, but she couldn't stop her feeling.
When she knew Yun Lintian was a reincarnated person, she both felt relieved and lost at the same time — she was relieved because she could finally openly express her feelings and lost because of the sudden change in their status. Because she had little time left in her, it led her to make this seemingly impulsive decision, but she had no regret. She would use these ten years to accompany him as much as she can.
Yun Meilan knew Yun Qianxue more than anybody in this place. She had guessed everything in her heart and wanted to curse at Yun Qianxue for her shamelessness by making such a cunning move. However, when she thought of Yun Qianxue's lifespan, she didn't know how to react further. As for the change between her and Yun Lintian, she didn't think about it much. To her, it was just a trivial change — Yun Lintian would call her by name, and that was the end of it.
The same went to the Four Hall Masters. Although they certainly had a strange feeling after knowing this, they didn't think it was difficult to accept, and the only thing that changed was only the way Yun Lintian would call them. As for who he was in his previous life, they didn't care about it as they believed in their judgment after watching him for many years.
Earlier, they were anxious because they knew how deep Yun Qianxue's feeling for Yun Lintian was, and they thought it might create a small fissure between them by doing this.
Yun Lintian didn't linger further. He started to explain everything in the villa, from TV, faucet, electric stove to the fridge. And he also told them about Earth, but he refrained from telling them his past since no one asking him, and he thought he would eventually tell them one day when they were ready to listen.
Yun Qianxue and the rest quietly absorbed the information, and they found it strange because the Earth didn't have any profound practitioner, but they could build something that could replace the practitioner's ability, for example, the air conditioner could release a cold wind and the electric stove could produce heat.
An hour later, Yun Lintian finished introducing everything in the villa to everyone and led them to his father's study room.
"What I am going to show you next, I hope everyone can keep it secret." Yun Lintian turned to face everyone and said.

Yun Qianxue nodded her head, "As the Sect Master's wish."
Yun Lintian felt uncomfortable hearing Yun Qianxue called him this. He put his messy feelings aside and opened the Library's door.
"Welcome back, Master." Upon everyone stepped into the Library, Lynn's voice immediately resounded.
"Who is it?" Yun Lingwei frowned and looked around vigilantly. Her Spiritual Sense spread out, but it was instantly blocked by an invisible wall.
Yun Lintian raised his hand to stop everyone from checking and said, "It's Lynn's voice. She is an artificial intelligence being. Her existence is similar to a profound artifact's spirit."
Only then Yun Lingwei and the rest had relaxed their vigilance.
Yun Lintian explained, "This place is called The Library. As you see these books here, they are profound arts from all over the world."
"You're incorrect, Master. They are from the Multiverse, not this world." Lynn corrected his words.
Yun Lintian smiled wryly. He said that because he didn't want to cause a massive shock on everyone, but who would have thought that Lynn would correct his words on the spot.
Yun Ruanyu was startled. "Profound arts from all over the Multiverse? What is the Multiverse?"
Lynn replied, "Multiverse is a group of multiple universes. It comprises everything that exists, the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information and physic laws…."
"Stop!" Yun Lintian hurriedly stopped Lynn. He turned to Yun Ruanyu. "Aunt… Ugh. Senior…"
"You can call me Ruanyu directly." Yun Ruanyu interrupted.
Yun Lintian could not be blamed, as he had called them like this for several years. It was too difficult for him to change it in an hour. He took a deep breath and said, "Alright, Ruanyu. To put it simply, it is a place where several worlds like Azure world gathered together. If you want to go deeper, you can find a book here later."
Yun Ruanyu nodded in an understanding manner. She vaguely understood the concept, but it was still unclear.
Yun Lintian then told Lynn to introduce the rank of profound arts to them. The more Yun Qianxue and the rest listened to, the more frightened they became. The Misty Cloud Profound Art was the highest profound art they had come into contact with, but now, there were hundreds of thousands of higher-rank profound arts appeared in front of them. How could they stay calm?
"You mean all the books here are available for us?" Yun Ruanyu asked.
Yun Lintian replied with a smile, "That's right. I'll give all of you permission to access here."
Lynn suddenly said, "Master, you can set their identity as A-level."
Yun Lintian asked, "What is the use of A-level identity?"
"A person with A level identity can access to any book in this place, but it's limited in reading only. A person cannot bring it out or spreading content in the book to a third party. Violating the rules will result in wiping all the person's related memory." Lynn explained.
Yun Lintian was dumbfounded. "You can even wipe someone's memory?"
"Yes, Master." Lynn replied in a matter-of-fact manner.
Yun Lintian was silent for a while. At the same time, the curiosity of his old man had increased further… An A.I. that can erase people's memory? What kind of existence is this?
He asked, "What about S-level identity?"
"In the addition of A-level identity, a person with S-level identity can modify, write and spread content in the book to anyone without violating the rules. He or she can also grant anyone an identity below A-level." Lynn replied.
Yun Lintian pondered for a moment and said, "Give all of them S-level identity."
Yun Qianxue and the rest immediately looked at him in astonishment. They didn't expect Yun Lintian to give them this. Although the relations between them were close, in front of the value of every book here, they could be counted as nothing.
"Lintian…" Yun Qingrou wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yun Lintian.
"You don't have to say anything, Second… Qingrou. I trust all of you." Said Yun Lintian while waving his hand dismissively.
"Master, are you sure about it?" Lynn asked.
Yun Lintian replied firmly, "Yes. Please do it."
Lynn was silent for a moment before her voice resounded, "Detecting the targets… Targets found, Yun Qianxue, female, 65 years old, damaged Pure Water Profound Vein. Yun Ruanyu, female, 67 years old, Intermediate Water Profound Vein…."
"Granting S-level identity…."
"Identity grant complete. You can check your identity by touching the monitor."
After Lynn finishing her sentence, Yun Qianxue and the rest could feel a clear connection between them and the Library. It was as if they had become a part of it.
Yun Lintian let them digested the information for a while, and during this time, he took the Crown out and asked Lynn. "Lynn, do you know what is this?"
"Master, this is one of the Beyond Heaven Relics, The Beyond Heaven King's Crown. And it is about to awaken." Lynn replied.
"What do you mean by awakening…." Yun Lintian hadn't finished his sentence. Suddenly, a black and white light burst out from the Crown, immediately illuminating the Library into a black and white world.

Life of a Core
After a disembodied voice had told him he was what amounted to an exceptionally talented rock, it had been hard to not let it go to his non-existent head. Until, random chance had decided to give him a square kick in the minerals. Which had in turn forced him to fend for himself in an unknown land, all while he attempted to make sense of his place in the world. Truthfully though, all he had really wanted to do from the start had been to bury himself a hundred feet below the ground and be left to his own devices. Yet, for one reason or another, nobody ever seemed willing to leave the dungeon-building core alone long enough to actually make one. Each chapter will average around two to three thousand words, the release schedule is still a WIP but you should expect the first six chapters to be released over the next six days. This is planned out as a dungeon building fiction, but don't expect it right off the bat! The story is a depiction of the everyday adventures (alongside an overarching plot) of what I imagine a dungeon core would experience when thrust into a random environment where everything and everyone tried to covet or eat him. I also really enjoy reading the comments and reviews people leave and would love to get some reader involvement with the story itself, likely through polls at the end of each chapter. I hope you enjoy my story! (If you feel like some of the characters seem familiar, you may have read some older work I wrote a while back under a different account. If you happen to be one of my old readers and recognize the similarities, I'm happy to have you back!)
