The Emissary of the Heavens caught hold of the Green Crystal and observed it deeply. Then he heaved a deep breath and spoke: "This crystal is actually related to your birth!"
"My birth?" Ye Xiao frowned. He could not understand what the Emissary of the Heavens was trying to imply here.
It is a known fact that Ye Xiao was an orphan and he didn't have any memory of his parents. When he was still young, he was used to begging in order to satisfy his hunger. It was not until Elder Ye Fan of the Silver Moon Sect brought him to the sect that he knew what it is like to be cared for by others.
He had never once thought about his parents before. He always thought his parents must have died even before he could gain enough intelligence to start remembering familiar faces. That could also explain why he didn't even have a vague memory of his parents.
And now, the Emissary of the Heavens was telling him that a little crystal was related to his birth.
How could it be?
"Can you explain?" Ye Xiao suppressed what he was feeling deep down his heart and asked in a low but firm voice.
"That's what I'm here for!" The Emissary of Heavens smiled and spoke. Then he threw the Green Crystal in the air and the Green Crystal started deforming and reforming again and again. During this process, its size was enlarging continuously.
While the Green Crystal was going through a complicated process of transformation, the Emissary of the Heavens spoke: "Ye Xiao, do you think it was just a coincidence that you were able to obtain the Heavenly Pearl?"
"Huh?" Ye Xiao was confused again. He spoke with a frown: "Wasn't it?"
The Emissary of the Heavens didn't answer him this time again. He looked at the Green Crystal that has already gone through a minute of transformation and had now enlarged into a green cocoon, large enough to hold a newborn child inside.
Finally, the Emissary of the Heavens spoke: "You know what, you never had a parent from the very beginning. You were never born, instead, Heavens personally created you inside this!"
As he spoke, he pointed at the large green cocoon floating in the void between Ye Xiao and the Emissary of the Heavens.
Ye Xiao felt like being struck by a powerful bolt of lightning.
What the f*ck was this person talking about?
How could someone be born without a parent?
This was against the logic of the universe!
"You don't believe me, right?" As the Emissary of the Heavens spoke, he smiled and then shook his head, saying: "Then let me explain everything from the very start!"
"Heavens was aware of your existence eras ago, even before you were born. Thus, it never allowed a person destined to go against its will to be born. You should know that the Heavens can do anything to protect its source."
"It was Zhou Yan, the person who crippled you in the first place, destined to obtain the Heavenly Pearl, not you!"
"What?" An expression of great shock could be seen on Ye Xiao's face. Ye Xiao always thought of Zhou Yan as someone insignificant. But now, he was learning that Zhou Yan was destined to obtain the Heavenly Pearl and cultivate the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. How could he not be shocked?
"Yes, Zhou Yan was the person destined to walk on the path you walked once before. He was born with great luck, but that luck was also the reason for his demise in the future. Cultivating Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique could have brought him to a great height, however, after those ancestral dragons left his body, he would have become nothing more than a mortal once again!"
"That was his destiny, however, his destiny was robbed by the Heavens. As I said before, why would the Heavens allow a person who is destined to go against its will to exist?"
Ye Xiao was feeling overwhelmed at this moment after knowing these truths. Somewhere deep down in his heart, there was also resistance. That part of his heart wanted to believe that everything he was being told is a lie.
However, just as the Emissary of the Heavens spoke, why would Heavens allow a person destined to go against its will to exist?
The Emissary of the Heavens continued: "When the Heavens saw those nine ancestral dragons appearing again and trying to steal its source, it traced back them in time and saw the reason for their reappearance, and found that the 'reason' was Zhou Yan. Thus, the Heavens robbed Zhou Yan of his fate and chose to create you with its own source. Ye Xiao, You were born from the very Source of the Heavens, along with the fate of Zhou Yan who was destined to go against the Heavens!"
Ye Xiao got even more confused when he heard these words. He could not understand anything for a short moment. His mind was unable to process everything.
He could not help but ask: "Wait wait wait! I'm not understanding a single thing you are speaking of. Can you speak in simple words?"
"What more simple words do you need?" The Emissary of the Heavens shook his head and continued to speak: "In simple words, after Heavens robbed Zhou Yan of his destiny to go against the Heavens, it created you with its very source and gave you the robbed fate of Zhou Yan."
"Don't you think it is very strange for you to be a fateless person? No one in the entire Heavens could see through your fate. All those who see the destiny of a person could only say that you should not be alive till now. Your fate should have ended a long time ago, without being able to avenge Ye Fan, your father-like figure!"
Now, this attracted Ye Xiao's attention. He had really never thought about this matter deeply. He always thought his fate changed and become something that others are unable to see through because of his encounter with the Heavenly Pearl!
When Ye Xiao's mind was still processing these unnecessary thoughts, the Emissary of the Heavens continued: "You were never meant to be born. There shouldn't have been an existence like you. However, to protect its Source from being stolen, the Heavens chose to create you. You were never born, you were created by the Heavens!"
"Why do you think other than the memories of begging to live, you don't have any sort of memories of the past?"
Ye Xiao was taken aback when he heard this question. He has no idea about it at all!
The Emissary of the Heavens spoke: "It is because you never had a past at all. After you were created by the Heavens, you were big enough to be called a seven or eight years old kid. Heavens never let you know the fact that you were created by the Heavens. After you were born from this Green Cocoon-like thing, you were left on the street of a random village, and you stayed there until the Fifth Elder of the Silver Moon Sect appeared in front of you and brought you to the Silver Moon Sect with him."
"Now tell me, there were many others children along with you who used to beg to live, however, why is it that Ye Fan was attracted by you only and only brought you back to the Silver Moon Sect?"
"Have you ever thought of this?"
Ye Xiao was again shocked. He really had never thought of these things at all.
What the Emissary of the Heavens spoke was really the truth.
He never had any memories of the past before his begging life. Also, there were many children who used to beg with him, but Fifth Elder Ye Fan was only attracted by him and brought him back to the Silver Moon Sect.
There, he relied on the resources given by Fifth Elder Ye Fan to cultivate to First Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm before he was crippled by Zhou Yan.
Now that he thought of those times, he realized how dumb he used to be. He even threatened the elders of the sect that he will definitely be back for revenge.
It is no wonder why Zhou Yan started chasing him in order to kill him right after he left the sect.
And if not for Zhou Yan chasing him, he would never have fallen down the cliff and encountered the Heavenly Pearl that changed everything in his life.
But if he is to see everything from a different perspective, then every step that he took was planned by the Heavens.
As expected, the Emissary of the Heavens spoke: "Do you think it is a coincidence that you were chased to the cliff by Zhou Yan where you obtain the Heavenly Pearl after falling down?"
"No, everything was preplanned by the Heavens. Heavens had always been there for you!"
