Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script

Chapter 5: The Higher Council's Decision



************

« Answering the esteemed host, this is indeed an anomaly. The system also confirms something about the male protagonist from the last world. The one who took over the body of Xiao Zixin…. Had a similar aura from the other worldlines that the esteemed host had entered before.

»

'Similar aura…'

He felt as if they poured a bucket of cold water into his head the moment Silver dropped the bomb into him, because he knew what Silver was talking about.

"Y-you mean…" He didn't have the heart to continue because he felt like his chest was being constricted as he couldn't breathe, and Silver noticed how uncomfortable he was.

« Esteemed host, please calm down! Your heartbeat is getting faster and if this continues, you might end up in a mental shock like before! Esteemed host! ECLIPSE!

»

Choosing the name Eclipse allowed him to break away from his past and avoid being reminded of his previous identity, which he found pathetic.

When Silver tried to stabilize his emotions and after that, when his heartbeat was back to normal, Eclipse sighed; "If that similar aura that we felt back from other worldlines that we entered, why it seems like it keeps on following me?"

He would understand if the motive of the other world-hopper was to eliminate him since Eclipse was one of the chosen candidates to be the successor of the Main House System and had the chance to become the God and the Leader of the Worldline Realms.

However, although that aura was everywhere whenever he entered each worldlines for the tasks, not a chance that his life being threaten by the other world-hopper and there were instances that he was being saved by some unknown danger that even Silver couldn't detect it sometimes.

Also, that unknown world-hopper seems to know about Eclipse's condition.

Yes, it's true that Eclipse's soul is undergoing some restoration process and aside from Silver, the only ones who knew about his situation are the higher councils and this information is strictly confidential.

Eclipse sighed in frustration; "So, what now?"

« Silver filed a report back to the higher councils immediately after they forcibly ejected the esteemed host from that world. The report included information about the abnormalities and our previous world-hopping journeys so that they can analyze the situation carefully.

For now, the esteemed host just needs to wait for the higher council's response for this case. »

After hearing what Silver said, Eclipse just nodded as he approved of what Silver did without his command since this is a serious case and needs to be addressed immediately.

*BEEP!

Eclipse looked at the monitors when they heard the notification sound, and he immediately opened the email that was sent to him and read the contents carefully.

/////////////

{{To Eclipse,

We have analyzed the report that was provided by your system guide Silver and, based on our analysis, these unknown abnormalities that you encountered are something that we didn't expect as well. We tried to track down the source, but for some reason, it feels like it's blocking us.}}

///////////

'Something is blocking them from tracking down the source? What could that be?'

Eclipse looked at his system with a frown, and Silver noticed this.

« Esteemed host, for what Silver had read on this report content, Silver couldn't help but to think that something is odd right now. »

He nodded because he also feels that way and since Silver also noticed something was wrong as well, might as well trust our instincts for this special case.

Then he continued reading the contents.

//////////

{{As for your condition, your system stated in the report that you almost exhausted your spiritual soul during your world-hopping task back then when you took over the role of the Leader of the Three Realms in the Cultivation worldline.

When we looked into that from the system's backup archive, we noticed that there is someone that shouldn't be on that worldline or part of the world plot.

Its name is Lin Shu Yang.}}

Eclipse frowns at the familiar yet unfamiliar name; "Silver, can you pull out that information from the system archive about that worldline and also looked for that name Lin Shu Yang."

« Understood, esteemed host. Please wait for a moment. »

After that, Silver looked at the system archive to search and after a minute, Silver pulled out the information and activated the 3D hologram form in front of them and the information they were looking into flashed in front and Eclipse looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of this person.

He looked over at the information that was provided.

========

Name: Lin Shu Yang

Age: 2000+

Birthplace: Azure Dragon Palace (Heavenly Realm)

Relative: Feng Yuan (sworn brother)

Eclipse raised an eyebrow and looked at Silver on his side; "Correct me if I'm wrong, but Feng Yuan is the identity that I took over from that worldline, right?"

« Answering esteemed host, yes that's correct. Esteemed host took over the identity of Feng Yuan, the Leader of the Heavenly Realm that became the Celestial Emperor of the Three Realms.

In the original plot, Feng Yuan indeed has a sworn brother but there is no name indicated of who he was and when you came over, according to the world plot, it mentioned that Feng Yuan's unnamed sword brother died for some unknown reason. »

As he listens to what Silver stated, Eclipse couldn't help but felt uncomfortable as he looked at the information below.

Before he can think any further, he snapped as he shook off his head and once again, continued reading the contents of the email that was sent to him.

/////////

{{We don't really know the cause of this unknown phenomena but one thing for sure is that… Eclipse, you're in danger and your soul restoration is still in the middle of process. For now, the higher councils have decided.

You must leave the World-Hopping Department temporarily and let us cover up for your disappearance. Please be ready when you finish reading this letter. We will prompt your system to activate the world-hopping mechanism immediately.

We're terribly sorry, and this is the only way for us to save you. I hope you might understand.

==RED}}

////////

Eclipse hadn't even had time to compose himself after reading the report when he heard a familiar sound in his room, indicating that the world-hopping mechanism had already activated.

« Initiating process of world-hopping…. Esteemed host, be ready and prepare to enter the new world in…. 3…. 2….

1….! »

Before Eclipse could speak, everything went blank....
