《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.

The Worldforge: Warlock Rising
Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.

Welcome to Devos
Welcome to a world where humor, drama, and action clash in epic tales spanning a vast continent....Welcome to Devos An anime styled medieval fantasy world featuring heroes, gods, and demons in a grounded and story/character focused series. A world where the gods of power bestow elemental abilities on those they find worthy. Welcome to Devos is broken up into parts, each part is more or less a complete story that expands the world, characters, and kingdoms of Devos. It plays out a lot like Game of Thrones where instead of a lead character you have an entire cast, each one getting plenty of time to develop over the course of the series. It is a relatively grounded, character and story-driven adventure that focuses on people of interest and their relationships with each other, their nations, and the eight gods of power. While the story features a good blend of light and dark themes it can get really grim at times. The continent of Devos is comprised of 5 territories, they include the three kingdoms of Verdun, Ashmir, and Vespa along with the territories of two demon lords to the north and south. The time period and setting are basically what you would find in a fantasy anime. There are eight gods of power which wield eight different elements and have the ability to "bless" individuals with certain abilities. Monsters roam the wilderness and the ruins/dungeons that are scattered throughout the landscape. Adventurers complete quests, hunt monsters, and explore the vast continent. We've got heroes, demon lords, gods, spys, special operations assault teams, phantom eagles, kings & queens, cursed chickens, talking goblins, and a whole shit ton more already in with plenty more coming soon.
