Legend of the Heavenly God
Ch. 4 ~ Ye Yuan

"After creation, we have our own unrivalled power and our own name. But, our strength is only part of the truth if we are alone. It was only after we joined our spirit heart pair and became human energy spirits, that was when our full strength appeared. And that depends on the purity of the heart of the owner of our energy spirit. The purer and cleaner our spirits are also the purer and the opposite is true. If the owner has darkness in his heart then what will appear is our darkest energy spirit and we will fall into a bad creature because of the power of the dark spirit heart...." obviously Ye Yuan then changed his sitting position.

Ye Yuan looked at Tan Hao's reaction for a moment before continuing the answer he asked. A small smile implied on his face when he realized the capture power that Tan Hao possessed was quite decent for a ten-year-old.

"Sacred spiritual animals are only ten and all are equal, will seek out the owner and seek his mate. If each one has an owner then we will fight. Who is the strongest owner who lives, that is the owner who can absorb our energy spirit. But it's something that's difficult even impossible, considering we've lived thousands of years but no one's found the owner...." Ye Yuan stared at the ceiling of the cave, clearly a look of sadness on his face.

"...I had been waiting for him for a long time but never came, so I decided to look for him. After I learned that here there was a man who raised a child alone. I kept watching, hoping that the child could grant my wish," Ye Yuan ended his explanation then looked at Tan Hao with a faint smile.

"Does uncle remember who the tenth was and where we are now?" tan Hao asked as he tilted his head.

''We are in your subconscious, I made you faint so I could meet you. Relax, your physical body is safe because your uncle is always watching your training so I think he is now taking care of you and maybe taking you home, because you have managed to collect what he asked for only 1 ingredient right! Your uncle must have thought you were exhausted and passed out. No need to worry because in this place, time is faster than the outside world," Ye Yuan explained clearly enough to make the worry that Tan Hao had felt slowly fade.

"I've never forgotten who they are but I don't know their names, just know each other's names. They are better known by the name of the embodiment of spiritual animals. I was known as the Third Crow Heavenly King Ye Yuan and my partner was known as the Purple Phoenix Lightning Shiling ranked first and the other eighth Vermilion Golden Feather second. The Seven Color Eagle of the fourth order. Tiger Eyes Three fifth order. The sixth order Blue Fire Stork. The seventh order Lightning Bone Snake. The eighth order Dragon Tail Turtle. The ninth rank Water Dragon Python and the tenth Silver Horned Lion. We are all hostile, even though we respect each other, because our beliefs are the same. What will set us apart is only our owner's path, greed or peace!"

"Goddess Yu Huanran who created us after finishing his asceticism on this island along with his appointment by Lord Yaoshan. They were a pair of Life-Governing Gods of Heaven possessors. Before leaving this world they planned to lower their descendants to become the God of the Universe. However, it seems like they have not done it yet!" ye Yuan's long explanation closed with a happy smile, as he managed to find the owner of his energy spirit.

"Emc ... Uncle's story is interesting, from all the knowledge I read. This time I heard something like that. It seems like our destiny has indeed been determined by a God," Tan Hao said as he stood and stared at the ceiling of the cave.

"Oh yes uncle, my name is Tan Hao and the person who raised me is my uncle named Yao Liu. Nice to meet uncle," respectfully Tan Hao introduced himself while half-bending.

''Ahaha! Am I that old, until called uncle by you, just call my name. Besides soon you are the owner of my energetic spirit which means you are my Master" Ye Yuan said as he lightly patted Tan Hao on the shoulder.

'Why is uncle so young? I'm sure I didn't see it wrong." Tan Hao muttered at the change in appearance of Ye Yuan who had instantly become a child his age.

"Hahaha if you call each other's names then, I don't want to be Master, which I want us to be friends with!" Tan Hao reassured while laughing crisply, after his worries were unproven.

Ye yuan was surprised to hear Tan Hao's statement, he did not expect that the person before him was not greedy for strength or respect.

''Well then I call Tan'er and you call me Ye yuan. How's it?" ye Yuan asked interspersed with a happy smile because he had found an owner who had broad insight as well as a heart that was clean from greed.

"okay agrees. So how do I absorb you?"

''Ohhh I almost forgot about that. hihihi," Ye Yuan clawed as he giggled.

After all of the talk, Ye Yuan patiently explained the easiest absorption technique that Tan Hao could immediately understand without asking any more questions. That made Ye Yuan even more amazed by his new owner.

After all the process was done, Tan Hao opened his eyes however, not surprised when the first one to be seen was his uncle, Yao Liu who was preparing a morning meal. It was as if he knew he was going to wake up today.

As soon as Tan Hao tried to get up, he was shocked because his body felt as light as cotton and felt an incredible energy flowing in his body.

''You don't have to be too surprised. Because it's early on I think it's natural. Now be careful to carry your body, if you are used to it you will have great speed and strength, Ye Yuan said in Tan Hao's head.

'Looks like I'll have to quickly adjust to my new energy, right? Little bird, hehe...!' inner Tan Hao while chuckling.

''Uh what the fuck is that? I'm not...!'

"Okay, my uncle is coming!! I think my stomach is very hungry," Tan Hao ignored Ye Yuan rushing to join Yao Liu.

***

In the morning it was the usual atmosphere between Tan Hao and his uncle. They enjoyed their breakfast with no one talking. Indeed Yao Liu educated Tan Hao from childhood if while eating food is forbidden to talk until finished eating.

It didn't take long to finish off a few bowls of white mustard soup and a few pieces of ferocious beast meat, Yao Liu left Tan Hao who still greedily finished the rest of the dish. He walked towards the bookcase and then opened the box that was stored behind the bookshelf and then approached Tan Hao who was now leaning back because of the glut.

"Tan'er, after all that uncle taught you was to train your physique, now it's time to give you something you should have. Coinciding with your tenth year of age is the right time to give you this!" Yao Liu said as he placed the wooden box of dragon carvings on both sides on the table.

Realizing Yao Liu's seriousness, Tan Hao confirmed his sitting position while staring at the box.

"Is this uncle? Whether this contained a stance or something," asked Tan Hao curiously.

Simultaneously opening the box, Yao Liu explained about the contents and usefulness of the objects inside the box.

"This is your parents' legacy. I keep it at your parents' request and will explain and teach when your age is enough and your physique is strong and the quality of your bones has reached the Heavenly Dragon Bone. All this time the strenuous exercise you were doing was to prepare all those requirements," Yao Liu explained as he exposed the contents of the box.

Tan Hao watched the object like a scroll of leather and there were 2 marks. On the other hand, seeing that his nephew was curious, Yao Liu continued his explanation.

"This thing is a scroll of books. In this world there is only one but contains 4 levels of skill. This scroll is called the Book of the illusion of Lord Yaoshan...! The first level of this style is the Trap, second Hallucination, third Worldly and fourth Death. You need to remember that everything can not be learned, but increased gradually according to the development of understanding from the first level. Therefore this book cannot be studied by just anyone even myself" Yao Liu explained.

"I still don't fully understand uncle's intentions! Can Uncle Yao explain it for me ?" tanya Tan Hao frowned because he still could not understand what was said and the so-called four levels.

'Heh! It seems like I was destined to be a part of this boy. With the ability of my eyes and with that thing. Hehe God damn it...! You are planning to make this child a new God huh! Now I began to understand, why I was separated from my partner at that time Ye Yuan muttered interspersed with a meaningful smile.
