"Such a timid child, not like my disciple Brahma at all," said Venerable Brahma helplessly.

“Master…Master?” Liu Yue let go of her hand, wanting to take a good look at her master in front of her.

But the moment she let go, the Brahma Venerable before her turned into smoke and vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed.

"Master, Master?"

Liu Yue looked around. "Master, where are you! It's me, Liu Yue! Please don't hide, Master!"

The scene before her eyes changed drastically. Liu Yue retreated repeatedly, staring at her hands, which were growing at a visible speed.

She was no longer a little baby. "Master?"

The only response she received was the howling wind in her ears and her own echo.

What's going on? A bad feeling crept into Liuyue's heart.

She disliked this feeling of being out of control, just like when her master disappeared. Her master entrusted the Brahma Sect to her and then vanished.

After that, she never saw her master again. Later, she handed over the Brahma Sect to Mu Fan and went on a journey across the world, traveling all over the mountains and rivers of the Nine Provinces, but she could not find a trace of her master.

She became that unwanted child again.

To her, her master was like a ray of light shining through the abyss, warming everything about her.

But as her master's only disciple, she couldn't do anything for him.

A deep sense of helplessness welled up inside her, and a sharp pain shot through her mind. She crouched down and clutched her head.

pain.

My head is throbbing with pain, as if it's about to explode.

"Little girl."

A gentle voice sounded above her head, and Liuyue looked up.

An old man with a sage-like demeanor stood before me. He looked much older than I remembered, with wrinkles appearing at the corners of his eyes.

"Master." Liu Yue forced herself to get up despite the pain and rushed towards Brahma, but her body passed right through Brahma's body.

Finding herself missing, Liuyue turned around in surprise.

"You little brat, you're such a grown-up and you're still crying like a little kid."

Brahma said helplessly, "Don't tell anyone I'm your master when you go out."

"Master, why have you become like this?" Liu Yue took two steps back, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looking at the Brahma Venerable in disbelief: "What exactly happened back then? Why did you leave without a word? Why..."

"Why so many questions? Silly girl."

"But you..."

The Brahma Venerable before me is not the real Brahma Venerable, but merely a wisp of divine consciousness left behind by my master. Where did my master go?

"Master, where are you? Tell me, even if it means going through fire and water, I will save you!"

"Silly girl, you're still so impulsive." Venerable Brahma said helplessly, "Let's leave the matter of the past to your teacher. Don't pursue it any further. It was all destined, girl."

"Who harmed Master?" Liu Yue clenched her fists. Master was so powerful, why did he turn out like this?

Even if my master had fought against Di Qing, he would have been able to win!

"Silly girl, don't ask any more questions. Have you comprehended the incantation I left you?"

"Only by putting yourself in a desperate situation can you survive; without destruction, there can be no construction; destruction leads to construction," Liu Yue said earnestly.

"You have suffered a lot over the years. Fortunately, I placed a restriction on your soul, which saved your life." Brahma sighed. He understood the will of Heaven and saved all people in the world, but he could not save himself.

He was also unable to clear all obstacles for his disciple and ensure her a peaceful and smooth life.

Even after learning about Liuyue's fate, he was still unwilling to accept it.

The only thing he couldn't let go of was this little apprentice. Fortunately, she didn't disappoint him and made it through.

He knew that his youngest apprentice was the most capable.

"Master, it was you who protected me..." Liu Yue murmured. Her rebirth, her possession of another's body, was actually due to her master secretly protecting her all along.

Liu Yue stood before Brahma, her vision blurred by tears. She quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, afraid that they would obscure her master's vision.

"Little girl, this is all I can do to protect you. From now on, you'll have to walk your own path."

Brahma raised his hand, wanting to pat his little disciple's head, just like when he was a child.

But his hand passed through her head and touched nothingness.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Brahma's eyes, but it was quickly concealed.

He said with a smile, "Silly girl, crying doesn't look good. Master dislikes little Liuyue who cries the most."

"Master, I don't want you to leave."

"Xiaoyue, keep walking, don't look back, don't look back."

Brahma's kind face was full of gentle smiles.

May the little girl's life be peaceful and tranquil, free from any further misfortunes.

"Master, Master! Master, don't go, don't leave Liuyue alone, Liuyue is scared..."

Liu Yue lunged forward, but fell to the cold ground, her hands covered in blood.

"Jun Liuyue, look at you, you can't protect anyone, you're really useless."

A sneer sounded from above. A pair of black boots came into view, and Liu Yue slowly looked up to see a woman dressed entirely in black standing before her.

And her face looked exactly like his.

Liu Yue used her hands to support herself as she stood up. The woman in front of her was even the same height as her.

The woman's slender fingers brushed against Liuyue's shoulder and gently grazed her face.

"Let me help you, how about it? As long as you're willing to surrender your divine soul to me, I can help you take revenge and slaughter the entire divine realm, how about it?"

The woman's voice was seductive, and she suddenly leaned close to Liu Yue's ear, "Jun Liu Yue, you won't soften your heart, will you?"

Bang! Liu Yue raised her hand and slapped the woman across the face.

Instantly, a handprint appeared on the woman's cheek...

The woman stared at Liuyue in disbelief.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are merely a wisp of evil thought that arose when I went astray in my cultivation! What makes you think that I would entrust my soul to you after a few words of bewitching you? Do you think I'm a fool?"

At this moment, Liuyue was no longer the tearful woman she had been just moments before; she only showed her vulnerable side to those she was most familiar with.

His eyes were icy cold, like a blade of ice.

Indeed, the man in black was a wisp of evil thought that arose when Liu Yue died. She quietly escaped the Life and Death Array, wandered through the Six Realms, and eventually attached herself to Liu Yue's body.

But she was just a wisp of evil spirit, not even a true soul!

Only by restoring her soul can she possess a body!

So when she saw Liuyue break down and cry, she jumped out just in time, wanting to take advantage of her weakened mental state and seize her soul!

But to my surprise, Jun Liuyue didn't buy it at all.

"Hehehe." The evil spirit laughed with unparalleled elegance.

Seeing a face exactly like hers making such an expression, Liu Yue felt an indescribable sense of annoyance.

All her negative emotions piled up, and she grabbed the evil spirit by the collar and slapped it across the other side of its face.
