The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

The third letter was written to his younger brother and differed from the content of the other letters.

The cover read "To Qingzhou." Although Ye Qingzhou had some memories of this older brother and remembered that they had a very close relationship, he thought that their relationship had faded over time after not seeing each other for many years.

But when he heard news of his elder brother again, he was still inexplicably excited. It turns out that some feelings cannot be changed by time. So-called forgetting is just hidden deep in the memory, waiting for some opportunity to break through the soil again.

Ye Qingzhou quickly opened the letter, and the vigorous and powerful characters leaped off the page.

My younger brother, Qingzhou:

Seeing this letter is like seeing you in person. Your elder brother, Ye Qingyang, respectfully bows.

Since your childhood, your elder brother has placed high hopes on you, wishing you peace and happiness. Today, as I pick up my pen, I have some things I wish to say to you, my younger brother. Recently, I have been feeling somewhat troubled and have decided to leave our hometown to travel the world and see its wonders. However, I know that this trip will cause our parents worry and place the burden of the family on your shoulders alone, which makes me feel very guilty.

My dear brother, you are sensible and filial. I earnestly request that you take good care of our parents during my absence and fulfill your filial duties for me. Our parents have worked hard for us all their lives, and their health is declining. They need more care and attention. Please remember that filial piety should always come first, so that they can enjoy their later years in peace and not worry about me while I am away.

As the eldest son, I have failed to fulfill my responsibilities, and I feel truly guilty. I know that you will have to shoulder all of this, but I believe you are capable of doing so. During my years of travel, I will always think of everything at home and will often write letters to let you know I am safe and sound, so as to ease your worries.

My dear brother, you are young and promising, and you are sure to be able to shoulder the responsibilities of our family. While I am traveling, I will be careful in my words and actions and will not cause any trouble for our family. When we are fortunate enough to meet again, I will share my travel experiences with you and rekindle our brotherly bond.

Your elder brother sincerely wishes you and your family good health. I hope you can understand my heart. I hope you will strive for progress and take good care of our parents. Your elder brother will always remember this.

Sincerely,

Ye Qingyang's last words.

Ye Qingzhou felt a mix of emotions after reading it. Before he could even express his feelings, he saw golden phantom text appear above the black characters in the letter.

Ye Qingzhou was greatly alarmed, but as a businessman, he knew how to hide his emotions. His surprise was fleeting, and he quickly regained his senses. The text had already appeared, and he read it quickly, afraid that it would disappear.

Brother Qingzhou, do not be alarmed by this, nor make a fuss. I am only telling you this, so only you can see it. When the time comes, the golden text will disappear, and no one will be able to see it. I hope you can pass this on to your descendants. If I return alive, I will definitely seek you and your descendants.

I am writing to tell you something extremely important. It is not that I wish to travel the world, but rather that I have no other choice. My elder brother has recently been deceived by the swindler Chu Xingyun and has unwittingly embarked on the path of cultivation. Now the situation is dire; he intends to possess my body, and I will fight back with all my might. In the end, only one of us can survive.

Brother, I know this news will shock you, but I have to tell you that I can no longer return to a normal life. Even if I successfully retaliate against Chu Xingyun, I will leave our hometown to find like-minded people and seek greater power. In my current state, the slightest mistake could bring annihilation to our family, which is why I have to leave.

My brother's departure is now uncertain; who knows when we will meet again? If I am fortunate enough to succeed in my cultivation, I will surely return to find you or your descendants and offer my assistance. If I fail, then I can only place my hopes on my dear friend Han Feiyu. He is a reliable man, and I will entrust everything to him. You must follow his arrangements and do as he says.

My mother is elderly; please take good care of her and don't let her worry about me. My father has worked hard all his life; you must also fulfill your filial duties so he can enjoy his later years in peace. Thinking of this, I dare not tell them the truth directly, lest I add to their worries and cause them grief. All household affairs are entrusted to you; I hope you can shoulder this heavy responsibility and live up to their expectations.

My elder brother had no other choice but to act this way, and I hope my younger brother can understand. Words cannot express the guilt in my heart; I only hope you can understand the difficulties I face in leaving. May everything be well at home. I will be careful and prudent while I am away, and will not let everyone down.

Remember this matter must not be shared with others, lest it cause unwarranted disaster. The path of cultivating immortality is extremely perilous, far from the idyllic notion it may seem. This path is paved with countless bones. Cultivators are not desireless immortals; do not believe such claims lightly.

Remember this! Remember this!
