Chapter 193 After Death

He is now in a vast, white space, experiencing a revolving lantern display.

However, his revolving lantern was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

It is said that a "revolving lantern" is a person's rapid review of all their memories before death, after which they kick the bucket.

But his scrolling slideshow is more like a movie, the kind with a progress bar, which you can drag back and forth.

Most importantly, after the carousel finished, he seemed not to be dead, still in this white space, without any change.

Ok?

Not quite right.

However, having nothing else to do, Kahn could only drag the progress bar and watch it several times over, still feeling somewhat moved.

His experiences in just these past few years have been far more exciting than all of his previous lives combined.

After watching it several times, he got a little bored. Kahn kept dragging the progress bar to the very last moment, the moment when he confronted Azura.

He watched silently, and after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly let out a long sigh:

"well--"

"It's just that the death was too melodramatic, like something out of a third-rate novel."

What does "dog blood" mean?

"Wow--!"

The sudden sound startled Kahn. He turned around and saw that Gurupask had appeared beside him at some point, looking at him with a smile.

Kahn asked in surprise:

"Master Guru? Is it really you? Or is it not an illusion?"

Gurupask chuckled and said:

"I don't think it's an illusion, unless your longing for me has reached its peak."

"Ugh, that makes me feel nauseous."

Kahn got goosebumps all over and pretended to vomit, but this confirmed that Gurupask was not his hallucination.

Otherwise, he would rather commit suicide.

He then exclaimed in surprise:

"How did you manage that? I've been watching a slideshow all day, and you still managed to come?"

Gurupask laughed:

"This is just a small application of spirit control techniques. If you continue to learn from me, you will be able to do it one day."

"Awesome."

Kahn was filled with admiration and now he understood that the Spirit Control Technique was probably the strongest control technique in the world.

Gurupas looked at the image in front of Kahn and said:

"Is this what you mean by 'revolving lantern'? Is that a term from another world? And what a load of rubbish!"

"Yes."

Kahn explained:

"The term 'melodramatic' generally refers to plots that have been overused in dramas or novels, and also implies that they are excessive, exaggerated, or clumsy."

Gurupas nodded thoughtfully and said:

"That's really melodramatic."

Kahn was speechless. "I can make fun of myself, but you're mocking me to my face like this? Don't I have any dignity?"

"So, Master Guru, what exactly are you here for?"

"hehe,"

Grubask didn't answer Kahn's question, but instead chuckled twice and asked:

"Since you know it's melodramatic, why did you do it in the first place?"

"I"

Kahn fell silent for a long while before slowly saying:

"I guess I'm just tired."

"Tired?"

"Yes, I'm tired."

Kahn lay on the ground, limp as a lump of mud, staring at the vast white expanse before him, and said:

"In my previous life, I had average talent and average ability. I didn't do anything great or bad. I lived a very ordinary life, just an ordinary person."

"I used to have many dreams, but they were all crushed by reality. In the end, I recognized and accepted my ordinariness."

"So I am very happy to be here, especially after learning that I have a talent I have never had before."

"I love the magic of this world, I love the gods of this world, I love the animals of this world, the scenery, and so much more."

"I only care about my family and friends, and I don't care about the suffering of strangers. I want to travel the world, enjoy the scenery, travel with friends, and find a like-minded partner. I thought I would achieve the freedom I wanted in this world."

However, that wasn't the case.

He sighed and said:

"I've been constantly on the go, constantly fighting, and in the end, I'm caught in the middle by two equally important people, caught in a dilemma. This problem is too difficult for me."

"So you chose death?"

"A voluntary choice? Do I even have a choice?"

Kahn asked a question in return, and before Gurupask could answer, he continued talking to himself.

"I often wonder if my fate was predetermined the moment I came into this world, and has nothing to do with my personal will at all."

"I met Uncle Airo because of my identity, I came into contact with Zuko and Azura because of Airo, I was coerced by Azura into participating in her plan, and because of Uncle Airo, I was targeted by Aozai and had no choice but to resist."

"I always thought that every step I took was my own choice, but looking back, whenever I thought I was standing at a crossroads of fate with countless paths ahead, upon closer inspection, I realized that there was only one path I could take."

"It looks like there are choices, but in reality there are no choices at all."

After listening, Gurupask also exclaimed:

"That's life. Everyone thinks they can be their own master, but more often than not, they are not in control of themselves. The more entangled they are, the less free they are."

"but,"

He changed the subject and said:

"I believe that seeking death is by no means the best option. If you want to escape the troubles of the world, you can come and learn from me."

"Do you remember? I've always believed you were the best successor to my mantle."

"Master Guru, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble after you go out with these comments that are laced with your own agenda?"

Kahn made a sarcastic remark, then added with a half-smile:

"Moreover, can one truly escape the troubles of the world? Then why did you, Master Guru, help the White Lotus Sect evade capture? And why did you come here?"

Gurubask was speechless for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said:

"You're quite perceptive in this regard."

"However, there is also a personal reason why I came to find you."

"After all, Kahn, you're only fourteen. You have a long life ahead of you."

"Fourteen years old?"

Kahn was stunned by what he heard, and it took him a while to react before he sighed with mixed feelings:

"Yeah, I'm only fourteen. I've almost forgotten."

"Master Guru, tell me, what fourteen-year-old child is like me?"

Gurupask chuckled and said:

"Azura, Zuko, Anang. Aren't they all about the same age as you? Anang is even two years younger than you."

"this"

Kahn paused for a moment, speechless for a moment, and then complained:

"Seriously, you adults are so useless! You want us kids to decide the future of the world? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

"I must say that your generation of young people is outstanding."

Gurubask, however, felt no shame whatsoever and said with a cheerful smile.

Kahn looked frustrated, as if he had punched a cotton ball.

"However, there's one point I disagree with about what you just said."

Gurupask laughed:

"You say you have no choice? I'm afraid not."

"If you really want to live the kind of life you dream of, you can stay in a parallel world. There, all your needs can be met, and you won't have the troubles here."

"But you ultimately chose to come back, to come back and solve the problem."

"And at least one thing is certain: you chose Azura, and that was entirely based on your own heart, wasn't it?"

"."

Kahn fell silent again, this time for a longer period. After a long while, he slowly gave a bitter smile and said:

"You're not trying to say I brought this on myself, are you?"

Seeing Kahn's expression, Gurupask smiled knowingly and winked playfully, saying:

"I didn't say that, you said it yourself."

Kahn smiled helplessly:

"It is indeed my own fault."

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do, I have to suffer it."

He stood up, stretched his body for a long time, and said:

"I've had enough of this revolving lantern show, and I've rested enough. There's still a mess waiting for me outside."

Gurupas asked with a smile:

"Are you really sure? Aren't you going to rest a little longer?"

"If you ask me again, I'm not leaving."

Kahn rolled his eyes at him, then teased him:

"I was hoping to rest a bit longer, but they had to send an old man to bother me. How can I possibly rest now?"

Let's go!

It's almost over, I'm so excited!
