Chapter 335 Believing in love, yet never receiving love.
The instant she looked up—
As if sensing her resolve, the enormous cherry tree burst into bloom, its blossoms detaching from the branches and transforming into an unprecedented blizzard that swirled violently around her.
A strong wind whipped up Kaori's long hair and red feathers, making them flutter loudly.
--roll!
No one can order her around anymore!
—She would rather tear her throat and break her bones than be a puppet of the universe!
puff--
She coughed up another mouthful of blood and staggered back, clutching her chest.
However, his aura suddenly surged, transforming into a profound, warm, and even more vast power.
She finally completely conquered the Reincarnation Sundial.
"Tribulation stage! Host!" Ao Bai's eyes widened. "We...we succeeded!"
It could feel the last trace of its restraint dissipating.
But... if the global main system is cut off, why is it, as a branch, not affected, and even feels a sense of relief?
Who exactly is it?
Huali's eyes shone with an astonishing light, showing no sign of backing down, only the ruthlessness and determination of a lone wolf enduring excruciating pain and licking its wounds!
It's severed!
Finally! Completely! Severed!
Even if the future is uncertain, even if she has to pay a price, she, Huali, will never be anyone's pawn!

The moment Huali coughed up blood, Li Yuan, Wen Tingyun, and the other two moved simultaneously.
Before they could even get close, the powerful turbulent energy emanating from the girl forced them back.
That was the kind of pressure only the strongest Tribulation Transcending cultivators in the world possessed.
Li Yuan stared intently at the girl standing proudly amidst the cherry blossom blizzard, his soul struck by a burning, throbbing sensation!
They want to submit, yet they also want to conquer.
The gentle demeanor on Wen Tingyun's face completely crumbled, his eyes filled with shock and madness.
Fate is unpredictable, rules are uncontrollable. Just as she said back then, she wanted to be the stone that breaks the table.
"Heh...heh heh heh..." The young man in the wheelchair gripped the armrests tightly, his face contorted with indescribable fanaticism and ecstasy.
A butterfly! This is his butterfly!!!
Mu Feng's coughing stopped abruptly, replaced by an intense light shining in his eyes.
At this moment, all he wanted was to abandon the self-discipline and adherence to propriety dictated by his family background, break taboos, and no longer hesitate.
If that person doesn't cherish you, then get lost; he will give her everything he has.
Fu Yan's hand, hidden in her sleeve, trembled slightly.
Looking up at the cherry blossoms fluttering in the air.
He pursued rules and precision throughout his life, but ultimately, he could not control his beating heart.
Knowing it's impossible, yet unable to resist...doing it.
*
Pain, blood, resistance, ultimate beauty, and an extremely strong will reached a breathtaking peak.
The salty taste of blood mixed with tears filled Huali's mouth.
It's a strange feeling, as if the person and the soul have separated.
Even though I've escaped that illusion, I still can't help feeling sad.
It's not about feeling wronged, nor is it about being weak.
Rather, it is the soul's most instinctive need after experiencing tremendous shock and resistance that leads it to want to return to its anchor point, to the place it can absolutely trust.
Ah Ling's figure reappeared silently.
He sat on the bridge and did not approach.
The swirling snowflakes, like a farewell, or a silent memorial.
The next moment—
This space, which replicates the tragedy of waiting ten thousand years ago, suddenly trembled as if in resonance.
The key, silent for millennia, finally received the one and only correct instruction and let out a sigh of relief.
The bustling pedestrians and the flowing river were all paused at this moment.
The great demon under the cherry blossom tree turned its head with great difficulty, its empty eyes suddenly filled with a faint light.
“I was born from the essence of heaven and earth… I should have returned to heaven and earth, silently and without a trace, which is only natural.” The deep red at the corners of his eyes spoke of endless regret, “But I… am unwilling to just… quietly disappear like this.”
Karin's heart clenched painfully, and she couldn't help but take a step forward. "Are you waiting for someone?"
Upon hearing this, the great demon showed no resentment or expectation on his face, only a smile tinged with profound sorrow. "Wait?"
He shook his head, his gaze piercing through eternity, "I just want to... tell those who come after me... that the heavens and earth bestowed upon me their beauty and wonder not merely to... facilitate a meticulously planned plunder."
"My broken body... my lament... is what I leave behind for this place... as a final act of gratitude and a warning."
Ah Ling reached out, and a petal, like a fledgling returning to its nest, gently landed in his palm.
As the light faded, it eventually transformed into an ancient-looking key.
"But my power was too insignificant at the time... Fortunately... Heaven took pity on me and created this mirror for me thousands of years later."
Therefore, the core of this illusion is never about hiding, but about waiting for a soul that dares to say "no" to fate.
The key wasn't found either.
It is "recognition", "inheritance", and even more so, "choice".
Looking at the great demon who was about to disappear, Ao Bai suddenly spoke and asked the most cruel question:
"So... after all that... do you still... believe in sincerity?"
Hua Li thought he wouldn't understand, but the faint, almost invisible soul paused and looked precisely at Ao Bai.
Ling was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "...So it was you."
In the final instant of his disappearance, his faint yet firm reply drifted through the air:
"...I believe it."
He understood, and he said he believed it.
Countless tiny specks of light gently and silently blend into the surrounding flowing water.
He said he believed, but... he is no more in this world.
Karin stared blankly at the spot where he disappeared, the key in her hand becoming scalding hot.
"I believe..."
She murmured those two words repeatedly, and tears suddenly fell.
A heavy sadness weighed on her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
An unprecedented longing reached its peak at this moment.
I really want to see Lianzhuo and the others.
I wish they could be by my side.
I really want to see them in person right now!
Make sure they are safe and sound, make sure they are not harmed by any cold, calculating rules!
I want to! I want to! I want to!
An anxious voice came from nearby; it seemed that Mu Feng and the others were talking.
But when these sounds reached my ears, they were as blurry as if they were coming through a curtain of water.
Karin's entire mind was occupied by the clamor of longing that seemed to burst out of her chest!
She wants to see them! Now! Immediately!
Just as this intense longing reached its peak—
"Snap—"
The crumbling barrier shattered with a deafening roar, and countless cursed butterflies swarmed in.
A mocking yet powerful voice, tinged with slight panting, rang out:
"Oh ho, I've found her, my little girl."
