Younger
"So it is true!"
The look of absolute shock on the grand priestess's face appropriately reflected her tumulous emotions.
Jin Wang confirmed once again.
"Yes, this is not my first life. I was born at the start of the Desolate Era, many millions of years ago. And since then I have lived, died, and been reborn more times than I care to remember."
He glanced towards her with half a smile, nodding upon seeing the disbelief and fear in her gaze.
"You can relax a little, I'm much younger than I look," he flashed a smile, "I was not immediately reborn at the end of each life. In fact, every subsequent rebirth takes longer than the last. I think I was born into this life after 5 to 8 million years or something."
"It is not easy to keep track of time when the systems are so fragmented and the smaller worlds like this one are completely out of the loop. Not to mention that they keep re-writing history every god damn time someone new is in power."
