My gorgeous wife-Chapter 1715 - 1686: Li Chen’s Pride

"A reincarnated body?"

Even Li Chen was stunned upon hearing this.

It’s like living freely for so many years and suddenly being told you’re not who you think you are, that you’re someone else.

"But... what does this have to do with not being able to approach Tian Yi?" Li Chen asked with difficulty, still unable to grasp the situation.

"We mentioned some things about the ancient war, right?" Five Elements Boots spoke. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Yes." When arriving at the Earth Prison Star Continent, several Supreme Treasures also revealed some truths about the ancient war to Li Chen. Because of this, Li Chen learned that outside the Heaven Realm, there are three other Great Realms: the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Divine Realm.

The Four Realms form the order of the entire starry universe.

Below the Four Realms, countless ascension passages connect different life-supporting planets across the starry sky. Once the inhabitants achieve a certain level of cultivation, they can enter the Four Great Realms through these passages.

And the so-called ancient war, on the surface, was a battle for territory among the Great Realms. But in reality, it was a struggle to choose a leader among them.

"Remember the more terrifying battle I mentioned before the ancient war?" Primordial Heavy Water asked.

"I haven’t forgotten," Li Chen frowned.

"That battle was brought about by that man," Primordial Heavy Water said. "Before that, he was the only one who could communicate with the Heart of Heaven and was its only friend."

Li Chen fell into silence.

Before the ancient war, there was an even more terrifying battle.

That battle was more brutal than the ancient war, shattering the entire Heaven Realm. The Heart of Heaven sacrificed everything and fell into silence.

At this moment, even the usually reticent Heavenly Dao Pearl spoke up: "So, for the sake of countless martial artists in the Heaven Realm, we hope you refrain from contacting her. As beings born from chaos outside the Heaven Realm, although we emerged with it, as long as we’ve lived in the Heaven Realm, we don’t wish to see her hurt again."

Li Chen placed Bai Tianyi on a bed, using the Power of Space to isolate the intense heat from her body, then went alone to the window of the Flying Spirit Artifact, looking silently outside.

After a long time, Li Chen softly asked, "Are you so sure that I am him?"

"We can’t be sure, just suspicious, but the likelihood is high. If you truly are him and his memory awakens, it will surely hurt her again. Even though you’re about to become our master, we don’t want her harmed anymore," Primordial Heavy Water said calmly.

"Do you really not trust me?"

The Heavenly Dao Pearl sensed something off in Li Chen’s emotions. Knowing him well over the years, it quickly explained, "It’s not a matter of trust, just that..."

"Enough." Li Chen stopped the Heavenly Dao Pearl from continuing.

"Let me clarify one last time," Li Chen said emotionlessly. "My name is Li Chen. I ascended to the Heaven Realm from a place called Earth."

"I started from scratch. Without guidance, I entered the ranks of martial artists, fought and risked my life against powerful enemies repeatedly to get to where I am today. I’ve survived without anyone’s help and never expected destiny to aid me. Everything I have now, I earned with my own hands, through my own blood and sweat."

"This is the real me, Li Chen."

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Li Chen’s mouth. "Not someone else."

"Perhaps you followed me because you thought I was that person?"

"Now, I must tell you, I am not who you think I am. Maybe he’s dead, or maybe he’ll resurrect, but no matter who he is, he is not Li Chen," Li Chen said coldly. "If he truly wants to revive through me one day, I’ll tell him he made a mistake!"

"Enough, that’s all I have to say. You can leave now." A surge of True Yuan within Li Chen caused the Power of Space to forcibly eject several Supreme Treasures from his body.

The Supreme Treasures floated in the air, quickly taking human form, looking at Li Chen with some bewilderment.

"Did you just say, telling us to leave?" Several Supreme Treasures, including Primordial Heavy Water, were filled with disbelief.

Bai Shi was also startled by the sudden appearance of these people, ready to react but was stopped by Li Chen’s gaze.

"Why stay?" Li Chen sneered. "Waiting for me to become the person you remember? Sorry, you’ve got the wrong person."

Li Chen acted swiftly, wiping out his control over the Five Elements Boots, something he’d painstakingly refined. Once the Five Elements Boots felt Li Chen losing his control over them again, their expression changed, vaguely sensing they might have crossed a line with Li Chen this time.

"Boss!" Just as Li Chen was about to erase his control over the Heavenly Dao Pearl, it suddenly shouted.

"Boss, I’m not leaving." The Heavenly Dao Pearl looked at Li Chen stubbornly. "You should know I met you when you were still weak. No matter who you are, you are my boss, my master. I won’t leave you."

Li Chen paused slightly, ultimately not proceeding.

As the Heavenly Dao Pearl said, it was during his weakest moments that they met.

Back then, the Heavenly Dao Pearl helped Li Chen avoid several nearly fatal crises, and like Red Moon, he shared a deep bond with the Heavenly Dao Pearl.

"Please, the three of you," Li Chen said, no longer acknowledging the Heavenly Dao Pearl, implicitly agreeing with its words. "Thank you for taking care of me the past few days. I, Li Chen, owe you all a favor."

Li Chen’s tone was polite, yet it carried a sense of unfamiliarity and coldness.

Paths that differ cannot walk together!

That was Li Chen’s belief.

The prerequisite for fighting alongside one another is mutual trust. If trust is absent, there’s no point in staying together, even if the other party is a Supreme Treasure coveted by everyone in the Heaven Realm!

Yet, Li Chen also had his pride!

"You guys!" The Heavenly Dao Pearl immediately communicated with the three Supreme Treasures in a special manner, urging urgently, "Quickly apologize to the boss! He’s softhearted, just apologize and all will be well!"

The three Supreme Treasures, including Primordial Heavy Water, exchanged glances, their expressions complex.

They were Supreme Treasures, desired by everyone in the Heaven Realm and even the other three Great Realms.

Since their creation, such a situation was a first.

Is this guy an idiot? They’re Supreme Treasures, yet he wants to drive them away?!

The worst part is Old Nine, the ungrateful guy, is urging them to apologize!

This is...

"We were wrong," Five Elements Boots was the first to speak.
