Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

Chapter 177: Ghosts Of Time (Part-1)

"Master Sunaya and Brother Zebel" shouted Daoma.

He couldn't believe that his dead Master was standing before his eyes.

"How have you been my disciple? It's not a good thing to insult your Master behind his back" said Sunaya with a smile.

Yet, on seeing him simile caused his hairs to rise.

"Please, don't get me wrong Master, I was just about to say that aside from some of your bad decisions, you are great and wise. After all, without making mistakes, how can one learn to move forward? It's common for beings with intelligence to make mistakes"

"Oh! Such great words are coming out of your mouth. Who always used to criticize and find fault in me during his teenage years, is now trying to support his master" said Sanaya and walked forward while Daoma tried to walk backwards.

Sunaya reached out his hand as soon as he stood near Daoma and twisted his ear.

"Ahhhh!!"

"Don't try to butter your Master. You may have lived for some billion years, but I am still your teacher. I am well aware of what you guys think of me. This younger brother of yours is no exception" said Sunaya as he pointed at Zebel who was smiling bitterly and apologizing to Daoma.

"Forgive me, Big brother. But he found out what you had done to his grave."

Daoma's expression turned ashen white.

"Teacher, Please try to understand. It was not me; I am telling the truth. It was Light Emperor Duos who did it. It was he who dug your grave; while I was focused on my study of magic in my hidden laboratory. It was only after 5568 years that I found what he had done."

"Yet, you just ignored it? Somebody digging your master grave and you did nothing,"  he let go of his ears and folded his hand to observe Daoma.

Daoma took some time to recover and look at Sunaya.

"Master, it was not like it was your real grave. It was here in the Zeon continent of wildland, inside the paradise of fools which is behind the devil peak of the current continent. Your real grave is there."

Hearing that Sunaya smiled "I know about it. I was teasing you to lighten the mood, my sweet disciple Daoma."

'&%!*@, How did I forget that my Master is titled as a fool by the sages of the Zeon continent and Zebel is his most obedient disciple. Yet, even with a fool's title; he is the most powerful living being in history. Especially my anatomization magic art is derived from that cheat like power system created by him.'

Jai, who was observing them the whole time, was amused by the action of the disciple and Master. It was the first time he had seen Daoma act so afraid.

'He is the Teacher of Daoma? But did he not just say, he is already dead? Was Daoma lying?'

"Teacher, how are you alive? Did you not die after sealing Vali for good?" asked Daoma as he looked at Sunaya.

"You are right; I died that day after sealing Vali away to be more particular, I was drifting in time and space from one place to another. I just recently got reincarnated; my soul and memories are still not stable. It will take some time for me to get them stable. I am not even sure if you can call it reincarnation. I was never born, I just came into existence after my soul, and my dead body reunited and automatically reconstructed my previous body with a different body structure and lost memories."

Daoma was astonished on hearing that "You got reincarnated in the Zeon continent again and you still have your memories? How long have you been on this Continent?"

"Past thirty-seven years, I first started regaining my memories when I was twenty years old. But it was still unstable and mostly subconscious. In recent years I have been able to regain full memories of my life as Sanaya with some extra memory of life before my birth as Sunaya. Yet, my memories are still unstable and can access them only for a limited period. I should thank Kai for awakening my previous life memories. It was through that I was able to learn many new things. The interesting phenomenon I am currently going through is that, with my periodic instability of memories. My cultivation also goes up and down due to the influence of my memories and the change in the state of the soul."

Hearing that his regaining of memories is related to Kai, Daoma and Jai looked at each other.

"Teacher have you met Kai before?"

"Yes," Sunaya smile

"But before I tell you how Kai helped me to regain my memories, let's go inside and bring out some snacks. It's maybe embarrassing to ask for food, but I  have not eaten anything since morning and was too busy taking care of my duty and preparation for the Immortal Day festival. I was planning to meet you after Kai returned to the Buraford Kingdom but since I have regained consciousness in day time for the first time. I decided to give you a visit while picking up Zebel on my way. I was planning to bring Serina. Also, the problem is that she still has not regained her memories of her past life. We have to wait before she becomes a saint stage magic user and her soul and mental strength become strong enough to take on the burden of recovering those sleeping deep inside her soul.

Daoma nodded as they returned inside the house and requested Samaya and Zebel to sit down on the sofa placed inside the guest room.

Jai didn't idle and bought some snacks in glass plates and respectfully gave them to Sunaya and Zebel.

Before he sat down on the sofa in front of them with Daoma, both of them had a serious expression on their faces as they waited for Sunaya and Zebel to finish eating their meal.

Sunaya finished eating and put his plate on the middle table and cleaned his mouth with a handkerchief.

Seeing the eagerness on the face of Daoma and Jai; he didn't make them wait anymore.

"I met Kai when he was just three years old, and his magic root had awakened before it had matured and no magic channels were present in his body, his origin bloodline was also unawakened."

Hearing that word 'Origin Bloodline' Jai became even more interested.

Only people who have known about the origin bloodline were supposed to be him, Daoma, Kira, Kaya, Maya, Behemoon, Bolt.

Sunaya noticed Jai's change in mental state.

"He was a clever and intelligent boy, and he asked many questions related to magic and way of cultivation. The reason I was able to wake up my memories is also the influence of the origin bloodline which is a power which I brought with me to this plane of existence and origin bloodline is also connected with Vali.

It was also I that caused that space crack which sent Kai to Forbidden Forest, and It was also I who erased the memories of the entire forbidden forest and resurrected all magic beasts after Vali took over Kai. Restoring everything to normal, all for the sake of awakening the origin bloodline."

Hearing that, both Jai and Daoma were astonished.

"But.. why... why...did you have to go to such an extent to awake the origin bloodline of Kai? Why did you have to do so? Is he not your benefactor; who helped you to awake your memories? What did you gain from separating a six-year-old child from his parents? We may not have ever met Kai, or he may not have become a magic user but he..he.. could..have.."

Suddenly Jai remembered the prediction of an alternative future told by Princess Froleytia and became silent.

Sunaya observed Jai and Daoma for a moment.

Daoma was also curious why his Master went to such a length to awaken Kai's bloodline.

"It was to stop the birth of the second Vali and the second Sunaya. I was observing you when Froleytia was telling you about the alternative future. The Kai of that timeline did not die; he became The Fool, Sunaya and The Champion of Chaos, Vali."

The room turned silent on hearing that.

"Kai, Me and Vali are the same person with different personalities and from different timelines. Vali and I are ghosts of the past who are trying to control the present. Meanwhile, the Kai you know is the present and from this timeline."

Hearing that, both Jai and Daoma don't know how to react.

The person sitting before them is saying that he is another version of  Kai, and aside from him, there is another one named Vali.

"Teacher, You cannot be joking about it. I can't understand, how can you, Vali and Kai be the same person. It will be the same as saying my disciple is also my Master and the person who I hate most in my life."

"It's the bitter truth, my disciple. When the world laws of the continent and the great magic world, Pridadin become one, only one of us will remain. Either current Kai or Vali or me."
