Child of Reincarnation Assessment

My name was Gu Sheng. I had stayed up late reading Divine Throne at home and accidentally died from overwork. I thought I was dead, but I ended up transmigrating into Divine Throne and became Saint Daughter Cai'er's older brother.

I had forgotten how many years I had been in this world. This year was the final assessment for me as a Child of Reincarnation.

Over these years, I had experienced life without the six senses 999 times. Don't ask me why I had to go through it 999 times; that was just what my system required.

Anyone who had read the original novel knew that only one Reincarnation Assessment was needed to become a Son of Circumstances.

As for why I had to undergo it a thousand times, I had no idea either.

But now, only the final time remained. After this last experience, I would obtain a Divine Throne.

However, this year I had to endure the loss of two senses each time. Don't ask why I had to lose two senses this year.

Because my younger sister, Saint Daughter Cai'er, had been born. As her older brother, I had to protect her and give her a proper environment to grow up in, so she would not be like she was in the original novel, without good familial love, friendship, or romance.

So I asked the system to add the loss of the six senses that little sister Cai'er was meant to experience onto me. Although I knew the original plot was hard to change, I could at least lessen little sister Cai'er's suffering.

And silently protect her as she grew up from behind the scenes. After all, in the original novel, my little sister Cai'er had been raised as a Son of Circumstances from childhood. She had no freedom.

Ding-dong, Host.

A new assessment was about to begin. This time, you will lose your sense of smell.

Gu Sheng thought about losing his sense of smell and did not pay it much mind, since he could treat it like rhinitis from the twenty-first century.

At that moment, Gu Sheng headed toward his adoptive parents, because Saint Daughter Cai'er was about to be born.

When I arrived beside my adoptive father, Sheng Lingxin, and adoptive mother, Lan Yanyu, I waited for a quarter of an hour before my adoptive mother gave birth. I excitedly pushed open the door and saw an adorable little girl with purple hair and purple eyes. "Sheng'er, look. This is your little sister, Cai'er. You must protect her well as she grows up."

"Mother, don't worry. I will definitely protect little sister Cai'er."

"Mm, good!"

"Sheng'er, Mother will rest first." "Mm-hm, okay." At that moment, Gu Sheng thought, Don't worry, Mother. I will definitely protect my little sister. Having lived two lives, I was only an orphan in my previous life. In this life, I have you, Father, and my little sister. Even if it costs me my life, I will protect my sister and all of you.

From then on, I went to my sister's room every day, bringing food and toys, as well as barbecue and hot pot from the twenty-first century. I told my sister stories and taught her how to make barbecue and hot pot.

I also told her stories about myself. My sister and I spent more than ten happy years together. Yet while I was away, Saint Daughter Cai'er still awakened the inheritance of the Son of Circumstances.

In the end, I still could not stop the original plot from happening, but things were much better than in the original story. In this life, my little sister Cai'er had a complete family life and friendships, far better than before.

Although little sister Cai'er still could not escape her fate and destiny.

When I returned to the Assassin Temple, I immediately ran to little sister Cai'er's room and asked whether she felt unwell anywhere.

At that moment, Cai'er said, "I'm fine." Gu Sheng angrily replied, "What do you mean, you're fine? Do you know what will happen when you awaken the power of the Son of Circumstances?! You'll have to endure the pain of losing the six senses, do you understand? Honestly... I clearly wanted to... I clearly wanted to..."

Cai'er reached out and placed her delicate hand on Gu Sheng. "Brother Gu Sheng, I know. I know, Brother. But Cai'er doesn't want you to bear the pain of losing the six senses for me, so that I can easily obtain the power of the Son of Circumstances."

"I know that you already knew I would become a Son of Circumstances and undergo cruel training."

"I would also lose my family and friends. Only when I ran away at the age of a few did I find even a little bit of light."

Gu Sheng said, "I really want to..."

Cai'er said, "Brother, I know what you're thinking. Aren't you wondering why I never told you? Why I never mentioned it even when you told me stories?"

Gu Sheng said, "Then when did you find out?"

Cai'er said, "I read Brother's notes. I saw what happens to the six senses of a Son of Circumstances, and I also learned that you would lose your memories."

"But there was blood on your right arm. When I looked through the notes, I also saw that Brother had already undergone 999 Reincarnation Trials."

Gu Sheng said, "Didn't I hide them? How did you find them? If I'd known, I should have burned them all."

Cai'er said, "Brother, you really don't know how to hide things. Although you never let Father and Mother find out all these years, you spoiled me from childhood and told me so many things, giving me all kinds of delicious food."

Gu Sheng said, "But I would never tell you where I kept my notes."

Cai'er said, "Whenever Brother drinks, you tell me lots of things."

Gu Sheng said, "Ah, drinking really causes trouble."

"So, Brother, please stop bearing trials that you were never meant to bear for me. But... Brother, don't say any more. This is my destiny. I have no way to escape it."

"Bullshit. What do you mean, there's no way to escape it? With your brother standing in front to shield you, I want you to stop suffering so much. One Son of Circumstances is enough, and that can be me."

"But Brother, I..." "No, you don't want to." "No, I do." "No, you don't." "No, I..." "Stop."

Just then, Cai'er looked at me with a pitiful, wronged expression...

"N-No, I can't."

"Brother Gu~"

"Alright, alright, I understand. But I can let you become a Son of Circumstances only if you let me help you bear the loss of the six senses. Otherwise, no deal."

"But... Brother, no. I won't agree. No means no."

"Alright then. But Brother, you can't take your notes back."

"Alright, Brother! I promise you."

Cai'er giggled, kissed Gu Sheng on the scar on his face, then skipped back to her bed.

At that moment, Gu Sheng sighed. "Sigh! What kind of mess is this? Drinking really causes trouble. Why can't I control myself? I guess I must have carelessly told her about the notes while drunk. Sigh! I can't drink again. I'm quitting alcohol."

Cai'er heard him and thought, Brother, I won't let you get your wish.

Why did Gu Sheng feel a chill down his back? Forget it, he would not think about it.

He went to make barbecue for his sister, along with some desserts. Afternoon tea—no sooner said than done.

Before long, he had prepared an exquisitely beautiful spread: barbecue, desserts, and afternoon tea. "Hello, little sister. Your brother made you something delicious."

"What smells so good? Wow, barbecue! And desserts too. They look so delicious! Brother, what is this? It's round and sweet, with a little cream. It tastes sweet when I eat it."

"Here, water. Eat slowly." As he spoke, Brother placed the afternoon tea before his sister. Cai'er crouched down and drank it.

Her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother, what is this? It tastes sweet. I want more."

"No, little sister. Brother only made one today. You'll have to wait until next time."

"Ah, alright."
