Simon was nervous and happy as well.

Happy that his father was finally willing to talk to him and nervous because he had to explain himself.

But Simon wanted another person to be a part of their conversation. "Father, can you call Zhan as well?"

Yibo replied, "He is here already."

Simon smiled and nodded. Once they reached Yibo's room, Zhan was already there.

"Come sit," Yibo said and sat down beside Zhan and Simons in front of them.

"So we will start." Yibo said, "Who are you?"

Simon replied, "I am Simon Wang your son..."

"Alright... another question how old are you?"

Simon sighed, "I am... I was... twenty before I came back."

Yibo nodded and looked at Zhan who glanced back at him.

"What I saw in that vision what was it about? you helped Aurelia destroy the kingdom?"

Simon closed his eyes and sighed, "yes, I did. My mother manipulated me into thinking that you are evil and that you abused her and I also fought with you because you tried to keep me away from the temple so I hated you and I supported mother..."

Yibo nodded, "I see."

Simona added, "I realized too late that she was wrong, she only wanted me became of my power and when I tried to revolt I was thrown in the temple of nirvana, where I found that library and that book, I did the ritual and I woke up here in the past.

And because of the ritual that I performed my soul suffered.

And since I asked you to take me to the temple that never happened it initiated a chain reaction... and the past changed."

Zhan asked, "What changed exactly."

"The nobility crumbled it didn't happen in last life, the bandits are on your side in my last they weren't in fact they kept on creating havoc.

And Callum became my mentor, he kept on provoking me against you..."

Yibo nodded, "Where was I, in your last life?"

"I barely talked to you I hated you we only argued when we talked and eventually you were slowly poisoned and died..." Simon spoke.

Yibo and Zhan looked at each other before Zhan spoke, "And what happened to me?"

"You were framed for a crime you didn't do and was made a slave you life became miserable, you served as a slave before you died while saving me from an assassination attack.

Everyone died miserable one way or the other, Cheng was burned alive, marchioness Yanli was killed by the Queen because she spoke against her and Princess Wen Qing loved Cheng so she wasn't able to cope with his loss and died on the battlefield."

Simon started and sighed, "I came back because I don't want the history to repeat I am going to give my people a new life and a new set of rules I am going to reform this empire."

The other two were quiet after they heard all this, Simon clearly suffered a lot before Yibo spoke, "About your powers can you read minds as well?"

"If you have my blood in your body then yes I can, and also control them, I controlled Rufus's mind and asked him to stay away from us for five years...

Five years because I need to grow and in the meantime, you have to  prepare the army for a rebellion."

Zhan spoke, "Rebellion?"

Simon nodded, "We need to wage a war."

Yibo asked, "Why?"

"Because only when destruction is caused, people's beliefs and customs will also change and we can also ruin the temple. And destroy the caste system, the new ruler has to be strict at cruel, the principles, laws and moral code everything has to be rewritten."

Zhan spoke, "Is there no other way?"

"I can use my power to control everyone but how long? Thousands of people are suffering endlessly and it's not going to stop till we destroy the current ways in which the empire works, and reduce the influence of the temple."

Silence filled the room again.

Yibo spoke, "What happed to the seven-year, Simon then?" he spoke with hope.

Simon smiled, "He had a good childhood, an innocent childhood he was the happiest then, thanks to you father."

Yibo nodded, and Simon said, "I am still your son... father just mentally my age is same as yours."

The other two smiled before Yibo nodded, "I know... you will always be my son no matter what."

"So you don't think of me as a monster?"

"Why would we?"

"Because of the power I have."

"These powers are given to you by goddess so that makes you more like god's messenger."

Simon smiled and ran to his father to hug him and he hugged him back.

After sometime Simon spoke again, "By the way you two need to get married."

He said to both Zhan and Yibo who looked at him with a smile and he spoke, "You two should really get married because I know you regretted not doing that in your last life, and moreover many people want to make their children marry you... so please hurry up."

Zhan pinched his cheeks, "Are you sure you want me as your father? I am really strict."

Simon hugged Zhan, "I know that I have always seen you as my father ever since I came back, I just never had the guts to call you." he then looked at Zhan, "but I really want to say that, I am sorry and I really love you father."

A tsunami of warmth and fatherly instincts washed all doubts and hesitation in Zhan's heart as he looked at Simon with warm eyes and hugged him back, "I love you too son."

Yibo couldn't be happier. When he saw the two people he loves the most accepting each other.

However, their happiness was short-lived when a knock was heard on the door.

"Come in,"  Yibo said and it was Aurelia who walked in.

"I am here to take Simon, I would like to have some talk with him."

The three looked at each other and Simon winked at them the other two smiled, and Yibo said, "Sure..."

Simon walked to his so-called mother before he left with her.

Author's note: A few more chapters before our baby grows up.

Just a note that I do not support war, unless it's absolutely necessary,  but I do believe that a little bit of violence, manipulation, and cruelty is needed to maintain order and bring people who abuse their freedom online. A completely innocent and naive person will get crushed by the world you have to be cruel to live peacefully.

This was my opinion though.
