Chapter 8 - Waiting for a Thousand Years

 Wangji and wei ying were together all day and even as he said what is going to happen next in my life I don't know well suddenly Wang Ji tells Wing you don't need to be afraid I am with you we will face the coming time together saying so he takes Wen in his arms and lies down and says to Meg let's go to our world saying so he also sits on her head and Wing falls asleep in a deep sleep the same thing we see on the other side Meng and Wang Ji were standing in the same flower valley facing each other. It wasn't completely over yet.

The valley of dreams was slowly turning into fog,

the moonlight was fading,

And in this silent light, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan stood facing each other.

 Wei Ying's heart felt heavy.

He had seen his first life, his strength, his death… everything.

He was shaking, but now he also felt stronger than before—

 As if a closed door inside him had begun to move for the first time.

 Lan Zhan was watching him carefully.

 There was both tenderness in his eyes… and hidden fear.

 "Wei Ying…"He said slowly,

 "What is going to happen today… You cannot stop it.

 This is the destiny of your soul."

 Wei Ying asked in shock,

 "What is going to happen?"

 Lan Zhan was silent for a moment,

 Then spoke like a watchful guardian:

 "Your power… is awakening.

 For the first time… in a thousand years." Suddenly, a faint glow began to appear in the air around Wei Ying.

 At first, it was like small fireflies flying,

 then the light began to spread rapidly.

 Wei Ying raised his hand in surprise—

 A milky white light was rising from his fingers.

 "This… what is this…?"

He said in a trembling voice.

 Lan Zhan immediately stepped forward and held his hand.

 "Don't be afraid. It's you, Wei Ying.

 This is your origin.

 Your power is returning.

 The power… that once lit up a time."

 The light emanating from Wei Ying's hand began to grow stronger.

 The wind began to swirl around him—

 Leaves, particles of light, soft sparks… all forming a circle around him.

 In this scene, Wei Ying seemed less than a human and more than a star.

 Lan Zhan stood there, holding his breath—

 as if he were witnessing a moment he had been waiting for for a thousand years. The light suddenly became so intense that Wei Ying's breathing stopped.

 "Lan… Zhan… this is too much… I… I can't stop it…"

 Lan Zhan stepped forward and wrapped his arms around him, saying:

 "Just breathe.I'm here.

You won't lose anything.

I won't let you go."

 Wei Ying said in a low voice:

 "This power… is too heavy… as if someone has pulled my soul."

 Lan Zhan's voice trembled.

 "Because your soul has been suppressed for a thousand years…

and now it is being released."

 A burst of light erupted from Wei Ying's body—

The trees in the distance began to shake,

Ribbons began to rise in the water,

A slight tremor spread through the ground.

 Wei Ying screamed—

 "Enough…!!

This… this power will break me!"

 Lan Zhan held on tightly.

 "Nothing will break.

You can handle this.

You are the prince in whose hands the sun used to bend…

You are not the one who lives in fear.

You are the one who creates the light itself."

 Wei Ying took a deep breath—

Slowly, the light began to be absorbed back into him.

 After a while, everything calmed down.

 Wei Ying stood tired, drenched in sweat,

pressed against Lan Zhan's chest. Wei Ying closed his eyes, and suddenly whispers began to ring in his ears—

Someone's fearful voices,

 Someone's hatred,

 Someone's prayers,

 Someone's hopes…

 He closed his ears,

 "What is this…? How can I hear everything… everyone's voices?"

 Lan Zhan held him.

 "Because this is your first power.

You can hear the light and darkness of the heart.

They are not heard,

You 'feel' it.

Only one of the people of light gets it—

And that was you.

Again… It's you."

 Wei Ying raised his head—

His eyes were completely filled with surprise.

 "Does that mean… Can I know people's hearts?

 Their fears? Their desires?

 Their hatred… love… everything?"

 Lan Zhan looked at him deeply.

 "Yes.

 This power can make you the greatest person in the world—

And if you don't handle it…

It can also consume you.

 This is light…

And light is always a burden.

Yi Ying felt for the first time—

There is something heavy in Lan Zhan's heart, too.

 A darkness…A pain…

A fear…

 Wei Ying asked softly:

 "Lan Zhan… you… You are hiding something from me, aren't you?

 There is pain in your eyes that you have never shown me.

 What is it?"

 The ground seemed to be pulled under Lan Zhan's feet.

 He was silent for a moment—

 Then he held Wei Ying's hand tightly.

 "Yes…

I was hiding a truth.

 A truth… that I didn't want to tell you yet.

 Because I was afraid…

that you would walk away from me."

Wei Ying fell silent.

 "Tell me… Lan Zhan.

I won't walk away from you."

 Lan Zhan closed his eyes—

and said the words that had burdened him for a thousand years:

 "Your death… your power…

and the destruction of your clan—

I had a hand in all of this, Wei Ying."

 Wei Ying's heart stopped for a moment.

 "...What…?"

 Lan Zhan's voice broke.

 "I wanted to save you…

But my family plotted against you.

They were afraid of your power and had you attacked.

That day…

I didn't support my family—

But because of them, you were injured…

And I couldn't save you.

I was too late, Wei Ying.

I saw you die in my arms.

And I couldn't do anything."

 Wei Ying's eyelids fluttered.

 His steps swayed.

 "Lan Zhan… so… your family…?

That enemy… that attack…

Your people did all that…?

Your family… was responsible for my death…?"

 Lan Zhan opened his eyes—

which were filled with tears.

 "Yes.

And I have never forgiven myself since then.

Nor them.

I left my people…My palace…

My throne…Everything.

I searched for you for a thousand years because I wanted to bring you back…

To give you the life that was taken away from you.

This was my promise…

And also my punishment."

 A storm of pain rose in Wei Ying's heart.

 He pulled back,

his eyes began to shine—

anger, sorrow,

the pain of centuries…

 "Lan Zhan… why didn't you tell me… this before?"

 Lan Zhan bowed his head.

 "Because I was afraid…

that if you found out…

You would hate me.

And I can't bear your hatred.

Even if I die… I can't." Yi Ying's hands were trembling.

His heart was screaming…

But he controlled himself.

 "Lan Zhan…

You didn't kill me.

And you didn't betray me either.

You didn't support your family—

You saved me.

And…

You are still with me today.

That's enough."

 Lan Zhan raised his head—

There was uncertainty in his eyes.

 "You… you forgive me…?"

 Wei Ying stepped forward—

and took her hands in his.

 "I chose you in my first life.

And I still choose you today.

I know you didn't leave me…

You just lost everything.

The two of us.

But this time…

We won't let anyone come between us.

Not your family…

Not mine…

Not any enemy…

Not any fate."

 Lan Zhan's breath hitched.

 Wei Ying placed her hand on his chest—

Where his heartbeat was racing.

 "I'm not weak anymore, Lan Zhan.

My strength is awakening.

And together we…

will face everything."

 Lan Zhan said softly:

 "I…

I'm nothing without you, Wei Ying…"

 Wei Ying touched his cheek.

 "And I…

With you, I'm everything."

 Suddenly…

The ground shook.

 A black mist filled the air.

 The branches of the trees began to break.

 Wei Ying looked back in shock.

 "This… what is…!?"

 Lan Zhan pulled him towards him.

 "That…

the enemy who killed you…

who destroyed your tribe out of fear of you…

is coming back.

 Because he, to,o has sensed

that the light has awakened again."

 Wei Ying's eyes lit up.

"Then…Let him come.

 This time I am not alone.

 This time I, will not hide from the fear of people.

 I was not born to hide my strength…

 I was born to bring light to the world."

 Lan Zhan grabbed his hand.

 "And I am with you—

 Every moment."

 A black light flashed in the distant sky.

 It heralded the beginning of a new war.

 Wei Ying took a deep breath.

 "Everything is going to change now, Lan Zhan."

 Lan Zhan nodded.

 "Yes…

And whoever comes…

We will fight together."
