However, the moment she thought about his Dimension Authority, her doubts returned.
Space...
If his authority over space had already reached such a terrifying level, then perhaps time wasn't entirely impossible either.
Elara looked at Yu Weiwei again.
His clear, innocent eyes were fixed on her, waiting nervously for an answer.
She stared at him for a moment before silently dismissing her suspicions.
No.
Someone who had truly lived for more than thirty years, let alone someone who had experienced an entire lifetime, wouldn't have eyes like that.
There was no trace of the weariness she would expect from someone who had lived another life. His eyes were still far too clear, far too innocent.
Whatever had happened to him, it was probably just heartbreak.
Perhaps being accused of murder and losing the people he trusted had changed his personality.
That explanation made far more sense.
Elara relaxed.
She had no idea that the person sitting in front of her was silently waiting for her answer while desperately trying to figure out whether he had just said something suspicious.
Yu Weiwei would never have imagined that a simple question about a younger sibling could make Elara come so close to discovering his secret.
And if System 001 had been there, it would probably have screamed at her immediately.
'You're wrong! Even if some people lived for thousands of years, their personality wouldn't change!'
Unfortunately, no one was there to correct Elara.
So, after nearly uncovering the truth, she calmly reached the completely wrong conclusion.
Seeing Yu Weiwei fidgeting, Elara thought then said
"Zhe'er had always said, if something is destined for you, then it would always be yours regardless of what happens."
Elara's gaze softened slightly as she recalled Lin Zhe's words.
"He believes that fate isn't something that can be so easily changed. Even if you take a different path, what is truly meant to belong to you will eventually find its way to you."
She looked at Yu Weiwei, unaware of how deeply her words were affecting him.
"So perhaps you shouldn't worry so much about whether your little brother will still come into your life."
"If he is truly meant to be your brother, then changing a few things in your life shouldn't be enough to erase him completely."
Yu Weiwei's fingers slowly loosened around the edge of his clothes.
"But..." He hesitated. "What if he really doesn't come?"
"Then perhaps he wasn't meant to come this time."
Elara's answer was surprisingly calm.
"There are countless things in life that we cannot control. You can regret a choice, you can wish you had done something differently, but you cannot spend your entire life trying to force the future to become the same as the past."
She paused before continuing.
"Perhaps the path you changed was meant to be changed."
"Perhaps there is something waiting for you on this new path that you would never have found if you had continued walking the old one."
Yu Weiwei lowered his eyes.
For some reason, those words made his heart ache.
He had been so afraid that by changing his life, he had lost Yu Niannian.
He had kept thinking about whether he should somehow restore the circumstances that would allow his little brother to be born.
But what if he didn't have to?
What if Niannian's existence was truly something fate had intended for him?
Wouldn't fate find a way?
And if it didn't...
Yu Weiwei's eyelashes trembled.
Then perhaps he really had to accept that some people belonged only to the life he had already lived.
Elara smiled faintly.
"Don't be so afraid of losing something that hasn't even been lost yet."
"Live your life first. If your little brother is truly meant to be yours, then one day you'll meet him."
She had no idea that those simple words had finally loosened the knot that had been sitting in Yu Weiwei's heart since his rebirth.
Yu Weiwei remained silent for a long time.
Then, very quietly, he smiled.
"...You're right."
Yu Weiwei suddenly relaxed,at that moment, the Spiritual Qi in the air suddenly surged.
It rushed toward the mansion from all directions, gathering around Yu Weiwei as though responding to something deep within him.
Elara was startled.
A warm, comfortable sensation enveloped her body, and even her mind seemed to become unusually clear.
She looked at Yu Weiwei in surprise.
He was sitting there quietly, his eyes slightly unfocused, his expression peaceful.
It was as though he had finally awakened from a long, heavy dream.
Elara's eyes widened slightly.
She understood what had happened.
Yu Weiwei had entered a state of enlightenment.
Not because he had comprehended some powerful technique or understood a profound law.
He had simply understood something within his own heart.
He had been carrying something heavy for far too long.
And now, he had finally let it go.
Yu Weiwei had given them a book on how to cultivate spiritual Qi, but he hadn't had time to teach them yet. But they had read through the book and tried cultivating it themselves but hadn't succeeded.
Elara suddenly thought of something and tried to divert the spiritual Qi into her meridian.
She was delighted to see it work, without thinking of anything she began cultivating.
Lin Zhile seemed to understand what was going on, but he had no intention of cultivating. His cultivation was already very high, but he still couldn't fully control it. Adding more cultivation at this point would simply be asking for trouble.
He dragged Xiao Zi away from the living room by the tail. The little purple dragon immediately became angry and struggled furiously, but he couldn't break free from Xiao Bai's iron-clipped hands.
A day passed like that, and Caspian, who was in the palace, finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
His wife had been gone for a whole twelve hours!
Caspian searched for her whereabouts and discovered that she was on Sea Sky Planet. Without wasting any more time, he immediately headed there.
When Caspian arrived, he immediately noticed the unusually comfortable feeling surrounding the mansion. The Spiritual Qi in the air was so dense that even the plants around the mansion had grown wildly, their vines and branches spreading everywhere and making it difficult to enter.
Using his lasers, Caspian cut through the overgrown plants and shrubs before finally making his way inside the mansion.
The moment he entered, he found Yu Weiwei and Elara sitting quietly in the living room. Both of them seemed to be in a daze, their eyes unfocused and their expressions peaceful.
"Elara?"
Caspian walked over and tried to wake her, but no matter what he did, she didn't respond.
He then turned toward Yu Weiwei and tried the same thing, only to receive the same result.
Just then, Xiao Bai, who had been upstairs with Xiao Zi, heard the commotion and came downstairs.
"Oh, you two are here. What's going on here?" Caspian asked when he saw the two cubs.
Xiao Bai frowned when he saw Caspian trying to wake the two cultivators. He immediately walked over, pulled Caspian's hands away, and looked at him seriously.
After a moment, he explained what had happened.
Caspian was slightly surprised when he learned that Elara had actually managed to start cultivating.
They had tried before, but despite having the cultivation method Yu Weiwei had given them, none of them had been able to draw the so-called Spiritual Qi into their bodies.
Thinking of something, Caspian immediately messaged Louise and told her about the situation.
He waited for a while, but there was still no reply.
Caspian sighed.
Louise and Ryan had been extremely busy recently because of the matters concerning the Red Dragon Association. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to come anytime soon.
Caspian looked at Elara for a moment before sitting down beside her.
Since she had managed to sense the Spiritual Qi, perhaps he could do the same.
He closed his eyes and followed the cultivation method.
At first, he felt nothing.
Then, slowly, he sensed something.
A faint, warm energy flowed through the air and gathered around him.
Caspian's expression changed slightly.
He had actually succeeded.
He immediately began cultivating, and before long, his consciousness sank into the same peaceful state as the others.
Xiao Bai was a little stunned by the sudden turn of events.
He looked at Caspian, then at Elara and Yu Weiwei.
In the end, he decided it was better to stay around and keep an eye on Xiao Zi.
Half a day passed.
Xiao Bai suddenly realized that his secret stash of food stored in his spatial storage had been completely exhausted.
He was hungry.
Xiao Zi was also hungry.
The two cubs immediately headed toward the kitchen, hoping to find something to eat.
Unfortunately, there was no ready-made food in the kitchen.
Yu Weiwei had the habit of storing things in his spatial storage, so most of what remained in the kitchen were merely ingredients.
