Chapter 207: Chapter 207 (Vol 2) – Taking a Decision (2)

"So... what's your decision?"

Everyone was deeply shocked by all that Ling Tian had said.

That whole explanation was beyond what they could have imagined.

Ling Tian knew that it might even take a long time for them to absorb it, so he didn't rush them.

"Obviously you will not have any fame, status or anything like that since you will be starting over. There will be no great Tang family or great Zhang family, not even the title of Lord of the City...

If you can become very strong then you can have some title or have a powerful enough backing to be able to live peacefully."

Ling Tian clearly pointed out that they would have to start over.

"Or if you want to have a status or a name that identifies you, once you are strong enough you could announce the name of your family and show your power."

Ling Tian knew that there were great families in the Immortal World. Even those families had created powerful sects and famous palaces.

"I really wouldn't mind starting over, as long as the family is united." Tang Zhi answered sincerely what she felt: "I have never cared about having a great status or anything like that, but what I care about is family unity and the welfare of everyone."

Everyone nodded soon after. If the family is united, then there wouldn't be much of a problem.

"And if some went with you into that world and became strong for several years, couldn't you come back here again so that when the rest of us go, we won't have a problem?" Long Cheng spoke after thinking it over. He as Lord of the City would have no problem if he left his position and went to a more wonderful place.

"Right, you could come back to this place again, couldn't you?" Zhang Chao asked curiously.

Ling Tian shook his head as he slowly explained, "By a coincidence of fate, I fell into this world, so I don't know if I can come back again."

Everyone listened carefully to Ling Tian.

"Besides, it may be that the Laws of Time and Space here could be different in the other world. If we spent a year here, at least 100 years could have passed in my world, or even the other way around. Therefore, if I go with some people there and we cultivate for an average of 10-20 years, in this world it could have been more than a thousand years. Besides, traveling between worlds is almost impossible..."

Although they were all confused by hearing about the Laws of Time and Space, they could vaguely understand what Ling Tian said. If they left, it would be a long time before they could return to this place again, or even never see them again.

"Little Tian, if you say that a year will pass here and more years are passing in your world... won't the children you care for be alone for long? They might even die before you can return." Tang Zhi asked worried about Ling Tian's family, even though she knew they were children that he was taking care of, after all they were his family.

Ling Tian lifted the corners of his lips and slowly told them.

"That's another advantage over what we cultivators practice." Ling Tian observed that they were all listening carefully: "The cultivators can live long lives, countless years as long as they grow stronger. You can live at most 200 years if you can reach Emperor or Legend rank, but, in our world, we can live thousands of years. I know some people who have lived a few hundred thousand years and when you first see them, you would think they were only about 30-50 years old. That's why I'm not primarily concerned with the age of those children, but about their safety from being murdered by someone who wants to kill me before.

When Ling Tian finished speaking, he could see that even some of them had their mouths open when they heard what he said.

Yes, he would be that way too if he were told about cultivation for the first time.

"Aren't those the Immortals of the legends?" Tang Wanying asked in amazement.

Ling Tian smiled at her and said, "That is correct. We cultivators have one goal, to become very strong and become Immortal. Once our strength reaches a critical point, our essence of blood and power will be transformed and we will become a true Immortal."

Silence reigned for a long time while amazement was clearly shown on everyone's faces.

This was madness!

The legends of the Immortals were true!

Who could have thought there was a more amazing world out there?!

The only ones who were calm were Ling Tian and Yun Mengxin, as well as Lan Yin. Lan Yin didn't care where she went as long as she went with Ling Tian.

"That man who fought with you, was he also a cultivator like you say?" Tang Nu asked when he remembered the fight of the Gods.

"Um. That guy is also like me, only he was hurt, so I was able to beat him. If he was in his prime, I couldn't beat him, he probably could even kill me with one move, haha." Ling Tian shrugged his shoulders as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

However, everyone was shaking a little afraid to think if Ling Tian couldn't beat him and lost.

"Those people you mentioned were your friends, could we trust them?" Long Cheng asked again.

"Of course you can. They are very powerful and would have no problem taking care of us until we are stronger.  Only a few people could threaten them completely, but the number of those people can be counted on the fingers of one hand, so there would be no problem for a long time." Ling Tian nodded and then smiled uncomfortably as he remembered his two best friends saying, "They are both very good people, as well as my best friends. One of them is kind of 'funny' in a good way, but he is like a blood brother to me, so we became sworn brothers, and the other person, although she is also kind of playful, is a very good friend who also became my sworn sister."

When Ling Tian said the latter, he felt some sharp looks, especially at Zhang Xinya. He just shook his head pretending not to notice.

"Brother, I know you mentioned that you were taking care of some small children, but..." Mu Shen hesitated to ask about anything when he remembered the first time he spoke to Ling Tian: "Isn't your family with you supporting you?" He found it strange to think that Ling Tian was all alone in such a dangerous world with only those little children and the dangerous Immortals around.

Tang Wanying and Tang Zhi turned to see Ling Tian. They were very curious about this, but also worried that something might have happened to Ling Tian's family. Those little ones he was taking care of might be his only family.

Mu Shuiruo looked carefully at Ling Tian, waiting to hear what he would say about his family. She was curious about his family since Ling Tian had never told her about them.

Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya also paid attention directly.

Ling Tian's personality and character showed everyone that he was an independent young man, as if he were a full grown man who had gone through the ups and downs of life and had matured completely, being completely different from those immature, arrogant, and crazy young people one could find almost anywhere. Even in his look, in his eyes, one could clearly notice a trace of hidden life's vicissitudes along with a dejection that should not appear in someone so young, but that somehow added a unique and special charm.

Yun Mengxin looked worriedly at Ling Tian. She knew Ling Tian's past life, as well as what happened to his family.

Ling Tian expressed with his eyes that she should not worry.

Then, Ling Tian looked at Mu Shen for several seconds before looking up at the sky recalling what had happened thousands of years ago and said

"My whole family was killed precisely by a cultivator when I was only about 12 years old..."
