Chapter 843: Unveiled Truth
After seeing the last notification from the system, Vaan was suddenly enlightened.
He had always felt something wasn't right when he received the horrible visions of himself slaughtering witches, including his close and loved ones.
In those visions, his other self was completely foreign to him and held great hatred towards the witches. In fact, that other him couldn't tolerate anyone or anything that slighted him.
It was clear that he had a terrible history for him to turn out that way.
Originally, he thought his Fourth Dimensional Sense had touched upon his alternate self from a parallel timeline.
However, Vaan couldn't have been more wrong.
In reality, the other version of himself was still him all along. However, his memories and all of the events leading up to the present and future were all deleted from history.
Someone or something had reversed time to his eighteenth year and erased or sealed away all of his prior memories in this life. As a result, his memories of his previous life on Earth became the dominant thought, making him believe his soul had reincarnated into another body.
However, the truth of the matter was that his soul had reincarnated through the normal cycle of rebirth all along, not through body possession.
It all made sense to him.Nôv(el)B\jnn
After all, Vanitas's life and all of his million reincarnations had always entered the cycle of rebirth as a newborn.
Why would his current life be anything different?
The answer was that it wasn't.
His first eighteen years of life and the original future timeline had all been erased by some powerful Temporal Law. Moreover, there were clues suggesting he had lived much longer in the lost timeline.
After all, his current chaosverse was already on the brink of collapse. Yet, it had barely started its integration with Chaos.
Even if Outer Beings sped up the destruction of his chaosverse, how could the chaosverse be so advanced in its destruction cycle, but the merging process with Chaos had only just begun?
Just thinking about that, Vaan estimated time must have been reversed by several thousands or even tens of thousands of years at the very least.
Moreover, the change brought about by the powerful Temporal Law only seemed to have been limited to Pangea and Gehenna.
Nevertheless, the power to cover such a large space and reverse its time by countless years wasn't the kind of power anyone could possess.
Even an Empyrean God like Empyrean Scarletsea might not have been capable of such a feat, even if she did specialize in the Temporal Law, not to mention there were more than the Temporal Laws involved.
After all, Vaan was at the center of this cosmic yet forgotten change.
'Every trial I have overcome was not easy, but they weren't despairingly impossible either. My fortuitous encounters were also far too good and coincidental. Now, there's this piece of information...'
'I knew someone or something had been secretly guiding my fate, but to actually find out it was true...' Vaan mused wryly.
There was only one person who could be so capable and would give him such attentive care - The Lord of Chaos.
It seemed that after nearly two chaos cycles, the Lord of Chaos had tracked down his big brother's soul.
However, the current reincarnation of Varuna at that time was not the kind of big brother he had hoped to see. Instead, what the Lord of Chaos found was a Second Asura in the making.
'Valefor Raphna...' Vaan thought as the name suddenly came to mind.
It seemed to be the name of the original him who had been erased or sealed away by the Lord of Chaos. Given the clues, he was more likely sealed than erased.
