Chapter 691 Second Memory (3)

?After listening to Asura's concerned words, Varuna cracked a warm and gentle smile.

"I have pondered this choice for a long time and weighed all the consequences of failure, Little Brother. In this regard, I am more familiar than you. However, while it is probably the most illogical and stupidest choice to make, it is a choice only I can make."

"There is no one else more suitable for me." Varuna suddenly patted Asura on the shoulders and said, "We can't be turtles hiding in a shell forever. Someone has to go out there and see what is going on, and that someone can only be me."

"However, this is not a bad thing. In the distant past, the concept of everlasting was but a mere dream, and the end of a chaos cycle was also the end of all things; people believed it was absolute and couldn't be changed. It was Allfather who turned the impossibility into a possibility and forged the path to the everlasting, creating an eternal legend to be remembered throughout the ages."

"And now it is the turn of I, his eldest son, to also perform an impossible feat and create my own eternal legend. Allfather created the Eternal Heaven known as Chaos, but the emergence of Outer Beings now threatens its eternity. I shall be the one to clear out the threats of Outer Heaven and grant it true everlasting existence."

"So do not pity me or feel saddened by my decision, Little Brother. Instead, you should be proud of me, your Big Brother. This is my calling, destiny, and duty," Varuna stated with a firm resolution.

Asura softly sighed in resignation before asking with helplessness, "How do you expect me to explain this to our mothers, Big Brother?"

"We may be born from different mothers, but we share the same father. Our mothers love us all the same. It won't just be Mother Aria who will resent me for letting you leave, but also my own Mother Dunalumi."

"You're making things difficult for me, Big Brother," Asura lightly complained.

"Hahaha, you will find a way to cope with their rage. Also, they will understand my choice in time," Varuna lightly laughed before mentioning, "Besides, you were also hoping I would make this, did you not?"

"Why else would you invite me here, Little Brother?"

Asura trembled upon hearing that as his heart flooded with guilt. At their level, it wasn't difficult for them to see through each other's intentions. free(w)ebnovel.com

However, Varuna also understood him.

While it was true that Asura hoped he would leave to investigate the Boundless Sea of Nothingness, he also hoped he would never make the decision.

Asura was deeply conflicted between responsibility and feelings.

"I'm sorry, Big Brother..." Asura apologized, feeling ashamed of his own heartlessness.

Since he ultimately invited his big brother to the edge of Chaos, it showed his sense of responsibility had prevailed over his personal feelings.

Nevertheless, Varuna shook his head without the slightest disappointment and only smiled with warmth and understanding.

"This isn't something you need to be sorry for, Little Brother," Varuna said.

"As Outerverse Originators and the Proud Sons of the Prime Originator, we can never shy away nor shirk from our responsibilities and duties. We were destined to lead lives different from everyone else's."

"We were born to lead the heaven and cannot enjoy the privileges of those who live beneath it. We make choices based on what needs to be done and not what we want to do. This has nothing to do with our feelings and does not affect our brotherhood."

"I'm saying this now because I don't want you to feel burdened by my choice; don't let this moment become your forever inner demon," Varuna stressed.

Asura knew the time of Varuna's departure was drawing closer, and the fear of losing him forever grew stronger. He felt like his heart was getting ripped out when he heard his big brother's considerate words.

His big brother could have left without a word. However, he chose to stay and spoke so much to put his heart at ease and give him peace of mind.

Back when he was still weak and lost, it was his big brother who looked after him and guided him out of the heartless cycle of endless reincarnation. Now that he had become the Lord of Chaos, the strongest being in Inner Heaven, his big brother was still looking after him.

Nothing had changed – he was still his big brother's little brother, and it was the duty of the big brother to care for his little brother.

"Is there anything you want me to do for you, Big Brother?" Asura asked with a heavy heart.

Varuna paused for a moment before grinning, "If you can look after my lineage, that would be great."

"However, there's no need to be soft and overprotective. If they err in their ways, don't hesitate to flog them or even throw them into the reincarnation cycle to repent," Varuna added.

Although his words made him seem heartless to his descendants, it was only a matter of perspective.

As an eternal existence above the heavens, reversing death was as simple as turning over one's hand. To an Outerverse Originator, death did not hold the same weight as it did to mortals.

To them, getting one's misbehaved descendants thrown into the reincarnation cycle was no different from getting them grounded to their rooms.

"I will, Big Brother. You can count on that," Asura promised earnestly.

"Well then, I'll be leaving now. Take care, my good Little Brother."

"Big Brother, wait—!"

Fear overwhelmed Asura at the last moment, prompting him to stop Varuna from leaving.

However, it was already too late.

Varuna didn't just leave; he left decisively. He did not spare any time to meet nor leave behind any words for his lineage. Doing so would have only weakened his resolve.

The supposedly durable Chaos Barrier easily gave way to Varuna as he disappeared into the unknown depths of the Boundless Sea of Nothingness. Every Outer Being within his sight also vanished along the way, reduced to nothingness.

That was the last time Asura saw any traces of his beloved big brother.
