I Am Supreme
chapter-723

Yun Yang continued reading slowly.

"I've always been thinking… which brother will it be who opens this door and reads this letter when I'm gone one day. Selfishly, I hope with my heart, that it's not Supreme Water. If, unfortunately, you are the one who opens this, please read it with the letter I addressed to you. I'm so sorry; although I have promised you a lifetime of companionship, it is a promise I can't fulfill anymore!"

"Who among other brothers will it be, other than Supreme Water? Ol'Second is tough and resilient, sharp – if you see this letter, I hope that you don't seek revenge for us brothers recklessly. Helping Yutang is still the priority; do well what we're doing now, and continue living for us. You have always been impulsive. If you insist on revenge, you'll be easily found by those with ill intentions. That'd be too bad then. On a serious note, if you read this letter, ol'Second, if you still take me as your eldest brother, do not seek revenge. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest in peace. I shall never forgive you."

"Ol'Third is gentle and prudent. Rarely will you be rash, or act blindly. I believe you'll do things slowly and won't let down those who have passed on."

"If it's Supreme Water… If you see this letter, think more about our child, think less about me. You've done too much for me. If you can, do something within your ability for Yutang. You must remember, your responsibility from now on is to watch our child grow up healthily! It is not to seek revenge! This is my last request… You have never rejected me, so this time should not be an exception. Please!"

He repeated what he told Supreme Water once again here.

Other than sighing, Yun Yang was struck by a myriad of emotions. It was no wonder the emperor was so carefree in letting his eldest brother build the Nine Supremes team, judging by his character…

"Ol'Fifth, if you see this letter, don't seek revenge either. Your personality is like fire, your temper a direct path of flame. You aren't any better than ol'Second…"

"Ol'Sixth… if you are the one who sees this, I hope you can choose to become a recluse and give up on the Nine Supremes' identity. Become someone else, and go on…"

"Ol'Seventh, if the heavens let you see this letter, then it's truly heaven's will. I only hope that you can tone down your fierce thirst to kill. Discuss things with father more. You know control more than ol'Second and ol'Fifth, but once you get impulsive, your killing threat is the deadliest among all brothers. Do urgent things with time, especially when we're at a disadvantage…"

"Supreme Wind, ol'Eighth, if you see this… I have not much to advise you, based on your careful temperament. I believe that the brothers' revenge is within reach. Unfortunately, you're a challenge to be tied down; you're a free soul. Without my constant reminders, I'm afraid you won't be concerned about the national affairs…"

"To the end, my heart will hardly be at peace, no matter which of the seven brothers' hands this letter lands in. How I hope that all of you will never have to receive this letter. I am still worried about each one of you. It feels like none of you are grown up yet, and I can't help wanting to watch over all of you every day until you can take charge alone…"

"If there were to be such a day, I, as your eldest brother, will truly be able to rest in peace."

"Hmm… why did my thoughts run astray… ol'Ninth would've thought that I'm biased if he sees this. I've mentioned everyone but not him. If… If it's ol'Ninth who reads this letter, then I, your big brother, have only one thing to say to you – think before you do anything; for you to take charge, this grudge must be avenged! Regardless of everything, anything!"

"Whoever the enemy may be, however powerful they are, I only have one request for you – to pay tribute to me using the heads of all enemies!"

"Even if you have to go against the world alone, you must avenge this grudge!"

"One more thing."

"Young nine, if there were to be such a day, even when all eight brothers have to sacrifice our all, we will all create a chance of survival for you. This decision of mine is also everyone's decision."

"Don't blame big brother for being biased. I am not the only one. All the elder brothers have high hopes for you. Nonetheless, I have the highest hope for you among all. That's it."

"Remember when the Nine Supremes were cultivating back then, the method of spirit force explosion? It was an exercise to converge the power of our own souls during the worst of times and gather everyone's life force to fight for a chance of survival for one brother. When we assembled all nine people and were discussing with your second brother, third brother, fourth sister, and so on, we've decided unanimously that all eight brothers will cultivate this final step but we wouldn't let you, ol'Ninth, know of this method's existence. Our ultimate goal was for this last method, this final way to survive."

"The reason we kept you out of the loop was the fear that you would be impulsive and follow us in churning your power of life. Then, our sacrifices would have been in vain."

"Do you understand, now, why I've glossed over the message for all other brothers but when it comes to you, I wrote an essay? It's because I know that the possibility of you coming to read this is the highest!"

"Ninth brother, if, there's an if, everything after this is up to you!"

"I believe that, by now, you'd already have known that I'm Yutang's eldest prince. Yes, His Majesty Yu Peize is my father."

"No matter how righteous and passionate I've felt when I gave up on the crown prince's throne, I couldn't help feeling crestfallen. After all, I've lost the most important goal of the early stage of my life. I would never have been able to get it back. However, all that has happened after that made me understand that nothing is more crucial than being genuinely happy."

"If I became the emperor, I could have overlooked the world and ruled the imperial court. Still. there wouldn't necessarily be lots of happy times."

"However, by becoming one of Nine Supremes, fighting on the battlefield and going through perilous threats, I was happy every day. I'm so thankful that I made this decision."

"Your fourth sister, Supreme Water, is my wife. As someone who has lost his status as the empire's eldest son, I only have one promise to your sister-in-law – a lifetime of companionship. It's a pity that, when you see this letter, I can't even fulfill this vow."

"Yutang, I am passing it on to you."

"The sovereign, I am passing it on to you."

"If there were any brothers coming with you, I'm I am passing them into your care as well."

"The matters of the afterlife and families of our brothers, I'm passing all that to you now."

"The love and hatred, favors and grudges, shall all be passed to you."

"Bao'er, is passed to you, as well."

"Brother, don't scoff at my long-windedness or my old-fashioned way of talking. I'd say it still. I am so lucky, to have the company of you brothers. It would have been wonderful if there were to be one day, when the world is peaceful and Yutang thrives, when the nine of us brothers can roam the world with our families… Too bad, it can't be done…"

"Take care of yourself, ninth. If you find yourself in danger, remember that anything can be put aside. Everything is second to you being alive and well!"

"What we, the elder brothers, hope the least to see is that you too have fallen!"

"Take care! Brother Yu Chengtian, signing off."
