Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1950

Chapter 1950: 1950

Divine Kasyapa looked quite real, but also oddly illusory .

His aura of mystery reminded Jiang Chen of many gods he’d seen in the heavenly planes of his previous life . They uniformly enjoyed making an entrance like this .

Divine cultivators really are something else!

In truth, the god was far more astonished than Jiang Chen in this moment . His godly appearance hadn’t exerted any pressure on his guest whatsoever . The young man looked perfectly at ease .

Most importantly, a well-hidden ray of his consciousness sent to probe Jiang Chen’s own had completely disappeared, much like a rock thrown into an ocean .

After attaining divinity, he had always investigated the consciousnesses of others with nothing more than nonchalant ease . However, he’d totally failed here!

“This young man is just as sharp and accomplished as the rumors say!” First impressions were very important, and Jiang Chen had successfully made a very good one upon Divine Kasyapa .

Huang’er raised her head to examine the Divine Kasyapa with crystalline eyes . “Are you the master of First Wind and the others?” she murmured . “They told me you saved my parents . And, you’re my grandfather…?”

“Foolish girl . Do you still doubt this truth?” Divine Kasyapa’s heart melted into warmth and affection . The girl’s features were nearly identical to his late dao partner’s . He suddenly felt like he’d returned to his youth .

Huang’er pressed her lips together, somewhat unsure of how to reply .

“Before I call you grandfather, could I see my parents first?” she inquired seriously .

The divine’s heart was moved once more . He would’ve considered such behavior from anyone else to be unbecoming, but this was his very own granddaughter . He couldn't refuse one of the only family members he had left in the world .

“Come on in,” he sighed softly .

Huang’er had initially been worried that the grandfather she’d never met would be a fake . She had wondered whether her parents were truly here . Her grandfather was much kindlier than she’d imagined and didn't refuse her request . This gave her greater faith in him .

Yan Qianfan and An Yu’er weren’t in great shape, but they were decently well off .

Divine Kasyapa had completed his renewal of their constitutions, wiping away the latent injuries they’d incurred in the Boundless Prison .

They were certainly many times better than when they’d first entered it . Before being locked away, they’d suffered tremendously at the hands of Houses Yan and Xiahou .

Nevertheless, they were still meditating for recuperation . The god wouldn't allow them to be disturbed .

“They’ll need one week more to awaken, Huang’er . You’ll have plenty of time to spend with your parents then . ” Divine Kasyapa liked the young girl the more he looked at her . He knew of the existence of this granddaughter long before he’d set eyes on her, and thus placed a great deal of value on this only blood tie .

That was why he had left four of his most trusted servants near House Yan, to await Huang’er’s appearance . He was grateful he didn't have to wait too long .

He nodded when he noticed Huang’er’s initial empyrean cultivation .  

“Not bad . You’ve done quite well for yourself as my granddaughter . Your parents’ best time for cultivation is past . It is likely impossible for them to inherit my divine inheritance . You’re different though . You are young and flourishing . I will absolutely help you grow into a divine cultivator in your own right . ” 

Huang’er only smiled faintly when she heard these words . She didn’t care about cultivation as much as others might expect .

Divine Kasyapa was even happier at her lukewarm reaction .

“Very good! You have moderation and restraint, traits that will help you go far in the world of martial dao . I have high hopes for you, Huang’er . ”

“Thank you, grandfather . ” Having seen her parents here, Huang’er no longer refused to call the god by her relation to him .

The thought that her grandfather had killed so many from House Yan made her unable to immediately be close with him though . She didn't distaste, fear, or hate him; they merely needed to be more familiar with each other .  

Kasyapa noticed that his granddaughter was still distant from him . She looked at her dao partner with not necessarily overt passion, but much more intimacy . He was mildly sorrowful over this . His very own flesh and blood should’ve been inseparable from her grandfather!

Truly, life was full of interesting twists and turns .

The divine sighed softly, then glanced at Jiang Chen again . “I can see that Huang’er cares and cherishes you a great deal . I hear that you’ve reciprocated her love well . The fact that you managed to remove an ancient and esoteric curse like the Generation Binding Curse marks how extraordinary you are . ”

Jiang Chen smiled faintly . He wasn’t as cold as Huang’er towards the old man . “That was merely luck . Huang’er and I have been through thick and thin together regardless . I believe that the heavens will bless our union . ”

“The heavens…” Kasyapa chuckled . “The will of heaven is hard to predict . Even we gods cannot claim to know its whims . ”

Jiang Chen smiled again .  You might not know, but I can claim the contrary .  He had been the son of a Celestial Emperor in his previous life, and his father had administered to a great universe among the heavenly planes .

Thus, he had some authority as to what the opinion of heaven was – not that he could divulge this without raising further questions .

Divine Kasyapa looked thoughtfully toward Jiang Chen . “First Wind told me of your exceptional abilities despite your youth . He suffered a more than minor loss at your hands, hmm? But you should take care not to become too full of yourself .  

“Once upon a time, I too had similar talent . Perhaps not as phenomenal as you are now, but I wasn’t far off . Alas, heaven envied my achievement and doomed my fate… the passage of time has taken my wife and daughter from me, casting me out of daylight into the Boundless Prison .  

“Yes, I’ve become a god now, but so what? My love will never come back to me . I cannot reverse time to erase the ordeals that my daughter has suffered . My granddaughter is far from me still . Do you think my life has been a successful one?” The god’s tone was very conflicted . His wistfulness and misery rang true .
