—The Land of Desolation—

“Huai’an, don’t waste your energy.” Xuanming tugged at his arm. “You’re only making her suffer for a while before she dies. Among us, she has the best medical skills. Now, unless she gets up and saves herself, there’s no other way.”

"No destruction, no construction. We can't just wait for this world to slowly perish." Huai'an stopped what he was doing. "Now, it's not a problem that can be solved by her life or death alone. If we really let it go, the destruction of the universe won't be far away."

"If this universe is destroyed, there will be another one; he cannot decide the life and death of the entire universe."

"Huai'an, all living beings have their own tribulations. Perhaps the universe itself cannot exist forever?" Xuanming earnestly advised.

"She's dying, are you going to save her or not?" Huai'an said coldly.

"...Can't save him!" Xuan Ming said, twisting the hem of his clothes in frustration.

“I have a solution,” Huai’an helped her up and sat cross-legged behind Xia Xiang. “I will transfer all my energy to her, and she will be able to regain her memories and energy. After that, things will be much simpler.”

"You're insane!" Xuan Ming roared, "You'll die!"

"If we don't save her, we'll die anyway, it's just a matter of time," Huai'an said indifferently.

As he spoke, he slowly channeled all his power into Xia Xiang's body—

——

Xia Xiang felt dizzy and weak, and there were two people arguing incessantly in her ears.

“Xuanming, I don’t think Huai’an did what she did was worth it,” someone said with dissatisfaction. “She has truly betrayed the Divine Realm, as you have seen.”

"Then kill her! If she doesn't come back, this isn't over." Xuan Ming said indifferently, "Do your research, okay? If you don't know, don't make a fuss."

"She's really not that innocent and cute little sister anymore. How long are you going to keep this up?" the man said, raising his voice.

Xuanming sneered, "You treated her like a little sister before you came back, and you've already remembered your grudges so quickly?"

"I sent you here not to insult me! Huai'an is dead now, and she's been exposed. Keep them in check and don't let them come over rashly," Xuanming instructed. "Go back, Yuheng. Yingxi misses you too."

He still remembered Huai'an's instructions: he had to be responsible for watching over Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu, and for her to remove Ding Xiaoyu's demonic markings as soon as possible so that the two of them could be switched back.

"I...I want to wait for her to wake up and ask her why she did that," Yu Heng said hesitantly.

"Then be quiet!" Xuan Ming said in a low voice, then changed the subject, "You know Ding Xiaoyu, go and bring him here."

"I want to wait for her to wake up," Yu Heng said reluctantly.

"Go quickly!" Xuan Ming said in a low voice.

“If my memory serves me right, I am your older brother,” Yu Heng said in a low voice.

"Get lost—" Yu Heng said indifferently, ignoring him completely.

Yu Heng snorted and left.

He still feels like he's dreaming. His short eighteen years of memories are like a drop of water falling into the ocean, and he really needs to calm down.

When Yu Heng brought Jiu Wu there, Xia Xiang had just woken up, but she was still a little dazed. "Wang Da Dong? What are you doing here?"

Ding Xiaoyu frowned as she looked at him, her eyes full of confusion. He had acted like they weren't familiar with each other just now, and his personality seemed different too. She had thought he wasn't Wang Dadong at all.

So who exactly is this person?
