The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 885: The Unbreakable Connection?

A vision that came from the heavens was a clue that Aldrian did not want to ignore.

"A vision from the heavens, huh? Would you like to tell me what kind of vision the heavens gave you? Now I’m seriously curious because you said it affected you enough to make such a drastic change in how you act," Aldrian asked.

Angelica’s shyness receded when she saw that Aldrian’s expression seemed slightly serious. She did not know why, but she still answered him.

"Well, the first one happened on the night when you asked me to stay in your tent, when you were with Jimin in her tent. That night, I fell asleep and had a dream that felt so real I thought I had become a being inside the dream." But then her face showed slight worry, and she suddenly grabbed Aldrian’s hand.

"Before I continue, please know that this is only a dream and I never did any of the things inside it."

Hearing that, Aldrian smiled and nodded. "I know, you don’t have to worry about my feelings or my reaction. I’m not that petty, you know?" he said as he also grasped her hand.

Angelica sighed in relief before she continued.

"Inside that dream, I lived in an unknown world. It was truly different from our Ancient Blue Gate World. In that world, I also lived with a man, and he had a completely different face and character compared to you. If I describe it, he was more careless and wild compared to you." Her face showed confusion.

"However, the strange thing is that I felt as if the man in that dream was you. I know it sounds strange and doesn’t make any sense, but it is what it is. I just felt that man was you but with a different body."

"I felt deep love for him, and we lived together for a short time..." Her face suddenly turned bright red.

"Uhm, and we... well, you know... did the thing between a man and a woman..." she said in a small voice, which made Aldrian smirk, though he did not say anything.

"Anyway, in that dream we lived together for a short time, because it ended tragically. I was killed by some people, leaving that man alone. I really don’t want to remember it again," she said as she turned her head away.

Aldrian stroked her hand to comfort her.

"And then came another dream in the next few nights. All of them showed different places and different men, but my feelings were still the same. The ending was also the same, I always had a tragic end caused by various things. I never died a good death." She continued, then sighed.

"I did not understand what those dreams or visions meant. Is the heavens showing me the lives of different people and letting me feel what they felt? Is that the heavens’ way of telling me that I will have a tragic end? Is that the heavens’ way of telling me that I will not have a chance to be together with you?"

"I just didn’t understand, and it truly made me afraid. I want to gain my own happiness, and I’m happy with you. How could I not be affected when I was given those kinds of dreams?"

"With Queen Revania also being interested in you, and with dreams like that, it pushed me to take a much more radical approach toward you, which you clearly saw in the past few days." She spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

Aldrian tightened his grip on her hand and continued stroking it to calm her. However, after hearing her explanation, it strengthened his belief and made him more certain about his guess.

He had already guessed that all the members of his harem were people who had a connection to his past life—or one of his past lives.

One of the reasons he thought of that was because of the signs that had already been shown to him through dreams, just like what happened when he was with Sylphia. In his vision after he had sex for the first time with Sylphia, he was brought to one of his past lives, and in that vision he was with another woman.

The woman was fully human. However, although her face and race were different, he had a strong feeling that she was Sylphia. No—he believed that he was with Sylphia in that vision.

In that life, they were also lovers, and they were only ordinary mortals without any powers. They lived in a world without cultivation. He worked like a mortal and did everything normally.

Although he did not see the entire span of that past life, he could conclude that he had been quite a poor man while Sylphia in that life had a high status.

They faced their own difficulties and challenges in their relationship, but they always stayed together.

That was only an example of one of his past lives, and he had many more. There were several in which he believed he met Sylphia again and again.

For them to meet repeatedly in different lives was not a coincidence. It was fate, and it was because their karmic connection remained tied strongly even when they reincarnated into different lives in different places.

Then there was also Baek Jimin, who comprehended the Heavenly Demon’s Flower Scripture. Although he still had not received any vision regarding their past life together, the fact that she comprehended the Heavenly Demon’s Flower Scripture while he himself comprehended the Heavenly Demon Scripture was not a coincidence.

They were like the Heavenly Demon and the Celestial Red Rose, the wife of the Heavenly Demon. It felt as though their comprehension of the scriptures itself was a sign that their fate had long been intertwined.

To manage a fate like that could only be done by high level gods or the heavens themselves. He did not know whether it was his followers or the heavens that shaped it that way.

Because of that kind of situation surrounding him, he believed that every woman who truly wanted to become his woman would be tied to him forever.

"Do you make it that way? Is it true that my current harem is made of women who have connections to my past lives?" Aldrian finally asked the heavens themselves as he sent his intent.

"Once the connection is built by me with sincere feeling, it will remain connected. The heavens do not dare to sever or intervene in the absolute one’s karmic connection and fate with specific people. The fate of the absolute one is special, and the absolute one could continue to meet them in the next lives." He repeated the heavens’ intent in his mind, which made him slightly confused.

Did that mean the one who made the situation with his harem turn out like this was his past self’s doing alone? That he had built the connections with certain people, and the heavens were simply supporting him?

’Wait, sincere feeling... specific people... so it’s not only my harem? Does it mean everyone I have sincere feelings toward will form a strong karmic connection with me and follow me into some of my next lives?’

Suddenly he felt that this matter was not only explaining his harem, but also his family as a whole.

’Does that mean father and mother are included as well? Does that mean they were also my family in my past lives?’

He felt that this matter was getting deeper than he initially thought.

He took a deep breath when he thought about it. Once again, he reminded himself that his being as the absolute one was truly extraordinary, to the point that even the people close to him were affected by his presence.

So extraordinary that even the heavens and their laws only supported what he did and his will, instead of the other way around.

Usually, a being tended to live within the heavens’ will and laws, and that included cultivators. Even if cultivators reached divinity, they would still be bound to the heavenly laws to a certain extent.

They could be separated in their next life even if they had a close relationship in their previous life, or they could meet each other again, depending on fate.

But here he was, the reincarnation of the absolute one, which made the heavens not dare to sever or interfere in his relationships with anyone from his past lives. Even if they reincarnated many times, they would still meet each other again in their new lives in this vast universe.

From this, he could also conclude that every relationship he built with sincere feeling in this life would bind them forever. Unless—

’I sever it personally.’

He released a sigh and looked at Angelica, who was also looking at him with a worried gaze.

"Is there something wrong?" she asked. She had seen Aldrian deep in thought, sometimes showing a serious expression that made her unsettled. She wondered if he had discovered something from her dream that she herself did not know.

Or did he, in the end, find her dream repulsive because she had dreamt of various men? She couldn’t help but feel nervous and even started to panic inside, but then she saw him smile.

"I see. Thank you for explaining your dream. I just understood something, and it made me think that I’m glad I met you, and to be liked by you," he said with full warmth.

Angelica’s nervous expression turned into a deep blush, and she lowered her head in shyness. Her heart felt full of butterflies at that moment, leaving her speechless.

"Ah, you already returned, Jimin?" he suddenly said, which made Angelica instinctively look toward the entrance of the tent.

However, she didn’t see anyone, and she instantly realized that Aldrian had tricked her. Embarrassment rose in her chest as she turned her head toward him, intending to show her displeasure.

But her eyes widened when she felt a sensation on her forehead.

She froze slightly, because at that moment Aldrian kissed her forehead.
