Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and focused on calming his mind.

With a higher cultivation base, he felt much more relaxed, and his thoughts were much steadier.

As he continued his focus on trying to sense the Emblem Of Time, he began to feel a burning feeling between his eyebrows,

Frowning, Ye Tia Yun concentrated hard between his eyebrows and suddenly found himself in a dream-like state.

Everything around him was pitch black.

Ye Tian Yun frowned and spread out his Spirit Sense; however, it turned out to be useless.

'Don't tell me I am now stuck in another space?'

"No, you're not."

'Oh, that's goo- wait, what!? Who was that?'

Ye Tian Yun was suddenly alarmed by the turn of events.

Someone had replied to him just now!

"I am behind you."

The voice entered Ye Tian Yun's ears once again.

He turned around and saw a ball of light in the far distance.

'Where did this come from?'

Earlier, everything here was pitch black.

"I was always here. You just failed to notice me."

The voice replied. It was coming from the ball of light.

Ye Tian Yun frowned, 'You can read my thoughts?'

"Hm? Well, this is your consciousness. I would be deaf if I can't hear your thoughts."

'Who are you?' Ye Tian Yun frowned, stepping closer towards the ball of light.

"I thought you would recognize me…."

Ye Tian Yun squinted his eyes.

The voice did seem very familiar.

And certain someone's face appeared in his mind whenever he heard this man's voice.

But this confused him even more.

'How could you be here?'

"Well, you're the new possessor of Emblem Of Time. I have to be here."

Ye Tian Yun didn't say anything and continued to move closer to the ball of light.

Slowly, as he came closer to the light, he could differentiate some things from it.

It was not a ball of light.

'A table?'

The first thing that Ye Tian Yun noticed at a table. 

'Hm? That's someone sitting on it…'

After stepping a few steps more, he figured out the silhouette of someone sitting at the table.

As he got closer, he saw that this mysterious man had his back turned on him, and with the teapot on the table, Ye Tian Yun figured he was drinking tea.

As for the light source… it was everything.

The man, the table, the teapot… everything was glowing in the pitch-black darkness.

"Come, take a seat."

The man spoke, and just then, another chair appeared on the other side of the table.

Ye Tian Yun's frown deepened as he moved closer to the table.

'This back…. Is familiar.'

Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and moved to the seat opposite of the man.

After taking the seat, he finally had the chance to observe the face of the man carefully.

Ye Tian Yun's eyes widened in surprise as his guess came true, "I knew it!" He said.

The man in front of him smiled, "Surprise~"

Ye Tian Yun frowned at him and asked, "What are you doing here, Wang Yao?"

Indeed, this mysterious man was Wang Yao.

Albeit, the older version.

Wang Yao took a sip of his tea, "Ah, the tea here is refreshing. How have you been, Ye Tian Yun?"

Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes, "That is not the answer to my question."

Wang Yao smiled, "Are you still going to consider me an enemy after I told you so many things?"

Ye Tian Yun crossed his arms, "You may have said a lot of things… but that doesn't mean everything you said was true."

Wang Yao shrugged, "What will I get from lying to you?"

Ye Tian Yun smirked, "Maybe you wanted to distract me from my goal? Maybe you wanted me to sympathize with you, so I don't slit the throat of your younger self? There could be many reasons…"

Wang Yao took another sip of tea and let out a long breath, "Ah, the tea is fantastic!"

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Wang Yao, tell me, where is this place?"

Wang Yao gave him a stare, "Didn't I tell you this is your consciousness? And since you're the Emblem Of Time holder, I ought to be here."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Wasn't I supposed to get your memories…? How did I get you?"

Wang Yao nodded, "Good question. Actually, I am not the real me. You already killed me about four months ago in Silver Mist City."

"Then what are you?" Ye Tian Yun asked, "A consciousness of yourself?"

Wang Yao thought for a moment and gave a long nod, "Hm… close enough. I am the consciousness of myself, but I am made from the memories."

"And my friend Ye Tian Yun, trust me when I say this, but I have no animosity against you right now."

"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "I killed you. And as far as I know, you aren't this generous, neither are you stupid. What's the catch here?"

Wang Yao smiled, "Well, I am not me. I mean, I am, but I am not me."

"Ahem, how should I put it.." He thought for a moment before continuing, "Well, you see, I am Wang Yao, but I have no relation with the one you killed. I am an independent consciousness. However, I do have memories of Wang Yao, but I don't share his emotions, nor do I have any opinion on anything that happened with him or because of him, be it directly or indirectly."

"Also, I am here to answer your questions, as long as I know the answer. So… ask me anything."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, and after a moment of thought, he asked, "What is that white space? How and why did I get there? And how to get out of that place?"

Wang Yao smiled, "The white space…. Well, that is also your consciousness… but it's a bit different from this place. And you got there because of the Emblem Of Time."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Emblem Of Time? How? I couldn't sense it all this time…"

Wang Yao nodded, "Interesting question," And then, taking a sip from his teacup, he said, "I don't know."
