Chapter 165 - Yang Emperor

After knowing everything he wanted to know it was now Sen's turn to reveal his powers. Everyone was curious about it as they had sensed fluctuations in the reality waves in it.

"Ahem, should I reveal it now? Or does anybody want to make any guess on it?" Sen asked teasingly.

"No," everybody answered in unison and asked him to reveal it.

"Okay….." Sen replied and began to reveal about his power to them.

After hearing him out completely everyone had different expressions on their faces. Granny Kotori, Anisa and Rikka had a confused expression. Sir Jean had an excited expression, and at last, both Grand Elder and Aditya had an expression of contemplation on their faces.

"Ah…. What happened to everyone? Why the different expressions on your faces?"

Hearing his question everyone recovered back to normal and fixed their eyes on Sen again.

Seeing all of them were staring at him with such intense Sen felt somewhat pressured. It was his first time to feel something like that. Before he asked another question, Grand Elder opened his mouth and gave the command, "Takeru, Yoshino do it!!"

Both of them nodded and went near the balcony to close the door and put on the curtains. Suddenly, the door became dark, and everyone's face was not visible like before.

Before Sen asked the reason for this darkness, Aditya clapped once and turned on all the lights of the room. Sen was dazed by the light and closed his eyes as a natural reaction. And the moment he opened his eyes he found himself in a barrier along with his family members.

He stood up abruptly and took a look around him.

"What's the reason for this barrier, gramps?"

"Mhm… Before telling you that, first promise us one thing. Unless it's a case of super emergency you won't reveal your power to anyone."

"Okay…." Sen replied hesitantly and sat back on his chair.

Sen too was somewhat aware that his Illusion Reality star was somewhat special and not normal like the other stars.

"Good, lil Sen let me tell you about the eleven stars of the sage emperor."

"Eleven stars?! What's that?"

"Once in the beginning of the universe when the Yin and Yang gods were making life they decided to make a ruler of each side. The Yin god created a power and the Yang god created a power. Both the powers were equal in strength. Yin god imbued the power in a soul of the dark side and Yang god imbued the power in a soul of the light side."

"Oh~~~"

"Yes, the two souls took birth and became the ruler of their own sides. After the death of the first rulers, the second generation of rulers inherited their powers and led their sides as before."

"Oh~~~"

"But as the time passed the Yin side's ruler became greedy and wanted to inherit the power of the Yang side. The Yang ruler of that time was aware of his intention and was waiting for him to take action. And the moment he declared an attack on the Yang side, his entire army was killed in an ambush."

Sen was listening to everything attentively and was trying to put himself in the shoes of all the characters. But one thing that he couldn't understand was, 'Why the hell gramps telling me about this now?!'

He nodded head as he was understanding everything and gave him the sign to continue. Grand Elder continued his Yin Yang story and told how the entire Yin side was defeated and how the Yang side won the battle.

But the battle didn't end at that and still continued after their victory. When the Yang emperor was giving the rewards to his army, he decided to give the title of the 12 Holy Knights to a group of knights who were extremely loyal to them and had shown bravery and excelled performance at the fight.

After giving rewards and titles to the first eleven knights, it was time for the last and the twelfth knight.

The knight named Juniper kneeled before the Yang emperor and bowed her head to receive his blessings. Like the other eleven knights for his twelfth knight, Yang Emperor had prepared a special crown and a sword for her, the moment he turned around to grab the crown from one of the servants on his side.

Stab!!

Juniper stabbed her sword directly into his heart and injured him heavily enough to push before the gate of death.

The other eleven knights rushed towards their beloved king and stabbed Juniper from all sides. But it was already too late for them. Juniper had already deflected to the dark side and vanished the moment their swords touched him.

The Yang emperor was still alive and before she escaped, he put a curse of eternal life on her. It may seem like a blessing to some, but being unable to die even after being cut, killed, and stabbed was a curse in disguise.

From then on she would feel pain when someone tried to harm her, but she was unable to die at that.

Listening to this story Sen's heart began to beat faster. He was feeling like as if all the things his gramps narrated happened before his eyes.

The narration continued again, and Grand Elder told him about the aftermaths of that betrayal.

Since the emperor of that time didn't have a successor before he died he gave his powers to his eleven knights.

Everyone got a different attribute, and the one who got the most powerful attribute was later known as the Sage Emperor.

"Oh~~~!!" Sen exclaimed and asked why in the world they were telling about all these to him.

Hearing his questions, all the members facepalmed, even Takeru and Yoshino were surprised at the dumbness of Sen that he was showing at that time.

Grand Elder took some heavy breaths, emptied down a glass of water, and answered his question.

"Lil Sen, out of the ten known attributes Illusion reality is one of the known attributes of the eleven knights."

Sen "…."

"Seems like you have inherited that power in this era."

Sen again, "…."

He was utterly speechless about it. Till then he was thinking about how to master that power and used it in his old world to bring back his parents and family. But now after hearing all these he was in a mess on what to do next.

Knowingly or unknowingly, he was dragged into a responsibility that was too heavy for him. Even though his soul was that of Wang Huang, an eight hundred years old cultivator, shouldering responsibility as big as that…. Was something he had never done in his life.

While he was thinking about various things at a speed of ten questions per minute, an important question got generated in his mind.

He turned his head towards his Gramps and asked out the question without thinking anything.

"Gramps, who are the other knights, and what are their attributes?"

Silence~~~~

Dead Silence~~~~~

No one opened their mouths to answer this question. Aryan was somewhat confused about their behaviour and was about to say "never mind" to dissolve that question when grand elder sighed and answered his question.

"I can't tell you their names and their attributes now. Since its grand secret even in the palace of the sage emperor but I could tell you once you reached the age of twelve."

"Mhm… Ok, but why twelve?!"

"Because that year you will be presented before the sage emperor along with the other nine knights to get your power from him."

"Get my power from him?! What does that mean now?" Sen exclaimed. As long as he knew his power and the cultivation star was totally in his control and he could ascend to higher realms as long as he trained hard.

'Then what does it mean to get my powers from him?!'

"You will understand later," answered Grand Elder. He also added that, "For now all he has to know is the power he has right now is only a measly one percent. And the majority of his power is still dormant."

Sen began to take deep breaths and started to process everything again.

Starting from the illusion reality, to Yin Yang gods, to death of the Yang emperor and at last his power of a holy knight, everything was too much for him to digest in one day.

What will he do? What to do? When to do? Such questions were muddling his mind.

Sen rubbed his forehead, took a glass of water, sat quite for some time then opened his mouth again.

"Tell me in short what am I supposed to do in the next two years from now on?"

"Good, straight to the point!! For the next two years you have to learn and practice every technique that we are gonna teach you.. You are not required to attend schools and universities since your intelligence is way above than a graduate."
