Chapter 437 - 437 6 The Shiyu Family Part 2_2

437: Chapter 6 The Shiyu Family (Part 2)_2 437: Chapter 6 The Shiyu Family (Part 2)_2 “…In the section on starry sky symbolism, we discussed how stars and the cosmos have been crucial components of the human psyche since ancient times.

Morton’s astrologers believe that stars correspond to a person’s destiny, while the ancients of Ustus saw constellations as the manifestation of hero’s souls, and Feng Shui masters of Yongguang viewed the night sky as the ‘Yin’ in Dualism.

Most representative is the ancient myth from Zero Island, as we all know that Yellow Springs on Zero Island refers to the place where souls return after death, with the brightest stars being the ‘Glory’ in ancient language, which is also the origin of the name Seven Luminaries Divine Sect…”

But look at the sports field neatly lined with several benches, members of the small club, and Rina sitting in a row, facing forward, with solemn expressions.

Special Agent Will sat at the front, holding his notebook and pencil, occasionally jotting down notes.

The young man in the white suit stood at the other end of the venue, scribbling on a whiteboard that was temporarily brought in.

Shiyu Zhongyi drew a dazzling starry sky on the whiteboard and spoke in a mechanically indifferent tone, “It is not difficult to find commonalities in ancient thought, that is the conflation of the concepts of the starry sky and the netherworld.

The starry sky where the spirit floats signifies Yin, and the solid ground where the body walks signals Yang.

The body’s return in death represents an end, but the spirit’s ascent to the sky marks the beginning of another journey.

Life and death, Yin and Yang, the imaginary and real cycle continuously in this grand system encompassing heaven and earth, and yet they are tightly integrated.

A concept from Yongguang culture can vividly portray this state…”

He drew two intertwining Yin and Yang fish on the whiteboard, and Will nodded, “Tai Chi.”

“Chaotic yet clear, opposed yet capable of Perfection.

We could also use another term in place, which is ‘Mandala’, mentioned in some religions.” Shiyu Zhongyi drew a structure on the whiteboard that included a perfect circle within a square, “This part, if expanded upon, would take quite some time, so let’s save it for another opportunity.”

“Starry sky and earth, spirit and body, concepts once separated from chaos come together again with a different grace, which is the core concept found in the myths, religious views, and mysticism of various countries.

It is also reflected in the practice of Impermanence Skill—no need to worry, these little pieces of scientific knowledge are harmless to Impermanence Law Enforcers, as they are not in the same direction as the deep-rooted threats of the Dao.”

Shiyu Zhongyi put down the marker, “Next time we have a chance, I can explain the concepts of Arrays derived from Rune Studies and temple from religious views, which to some extent can be considered the foundation of Divine Communication Skill.

This ends our knowledge session, thank you.”

Will put down his notebook, the first to lead the applause.

Several female students immediately followed, and for a moment, the room was filled with thunderous applause, as Shiyu Zhongyi bowed slightly with a hint of shyness.

Gongsun Ce finally managed to close his jaw, “You call this pop science for Shiyu Zhongyi?”

Kardesia, hearing the commotion, sprinted up from her seat and dashed toward her boyfriend at the back, “Darling, I can’t teach him!” the blonde wailed, “He’s turned the tables and is teaching us instead!

And he’s amazing at it!”

“I see that.” Shiyu Lianyi said awkwardly, “So, why…?”

“We were originally just conducting interactive teaching.” Rina said blankly, “Then over the past few days, Shiyu Zhongyi learned a lot of knowledge and wanted to try sharing it with us too.

Kardesia said it would exercise his communication skills…

and it turned out like this…”

Special Agent Will had a few words with Shiyu Zhongyi and then walked up to everyone.

“Good evening, everyone.” The special agent removed his hat, “Long story short, I think it is essential for Shiyu Zhongyi to participate in our research activities.”

Shiyu Ling said listlessly, “He really has inherited ‘father’s’ brain, hasn’t he?”

“Exceptionally gifted, he’s only been studying for less than a week.

It isn’t an exaggeration to say that I even want to take him to the Federation,” Will said earnestly, “The sky city is undoubtedly the best place for Shiyu Zhongyi; where he can access everything he needs and contribute his talents for the benefit of all mankind.”

The young man in the suit seemed unconcerned about the welfare of all humanity.

He looked at Shiyu Zhongyi, “Zhongyi, what do you think?” There was an encouraging tone in Shiyu Lianyi’s voice, “Don’t worry about others’ opinions, or those who are unrelated…

just what you want to do.”

“I want to go to the sky city,” Shiyu Zhongyi answered succinctly, again resembling a robot after his lecture.

“Why?”

“Because Brother Lianyi is in the sky city,” Shiyu Zhongyi answered with the posture of a butler.

“Compared to Sister Ling or other family members, Brother Lianyi feels more familiar.” He stood before Shiyu Lianyi, speaking meticulously, “I do not know how to describe this feeling; I believe I should accompany you or protect you.

There is no exact reason, as we haven’t known each other for long…

But I indeed feel this way.”

Shiyu Lianyi was at a loss for words; he remembered the true identity of this younger brother.

Zhongyi was a clone of Shiyu Genmi.

“If my existence makes you uncomfortable, I am willing to follow other arrangements,” Zhongyi seemed to sense something, “Please do not mind on my account.”

The face of Shiyu Genmi and Shiyu Zhongyi briefly overlapped in Lianyi’s mind, then separated again.

That cold man would never speak such words.

What else could he say?

“I do not dislike you, Zhongyi.”

Shiyu Lianyi smiled gently.

“You are my family.”

Shiyu Zhongyi was unaware of his true identity and did not understand what he had done in the past; he was merely reacting to the strange atmosphere with his sharp intuition.

“Am I…”

“There’s no need to worry, Zhongyi.” Brother Lianyi patted him on the shoulder, “That’s all for later.

For now, just freely do what you enjoy.”

Including Shiyu Shiqi and Shiyu Zhongyi, there were six Shiyus heading to the City of the Sky…

nearly half remained on Zero Island, and many had run off to the Empire Federation and the Country…

Gongsun Ce sighed, “You really have become the head of the family, huh?

Will there be a bunch of people calling Kardesia ‘sister-in-law’ in the future?”

“I don’t mind,” the lady with the top hat was indifferent, “I think it’d be quite lively~”

“What a good attitude you have, Kardesia,” the young lady praised.

Having finally arranged a host of family matters, everyone was in the hotel’s Western restaurant dealing with their steaks.

Shiyu Lianyi cheerfully said, “My task is finally completed—”

“No, there’s one last thing,” Gongsun Ce raised his fork, “Shiyu Lianyi hasn’t been arranged yet.”

The young man in the suit paused, then understood his friend’s intention.

He took out a carefully folded piece of paper and a dice from the inside pocket of his suit.

“This, given by the Huojin God…” Shiyu Lianyi looked a bit embarrassed, “I don’t know how to describe it, you will understand once you take a look.”

The paper bore a total of ten lines of text, which seemed to describe some minor events.

“What is this…

a list of options for a tabletop game?”
