“What does it mean to have never… existed?” Yun Che uttered a soul-stirring voice.
The ancestor's will slowly narrated: "On the day you married Situ Xuan, someone secretly put a deadly poison in the breakfast porridge she gave you. Although it was only a very low-level ordinary poison, it was a deadly poison to you who had a broken profound vein and a weak body at the time."
"The wedding ceremony hadn't even started yet, but you were already poisoned and died instantly."
"This is an unbearable blow to her. Especially, she thinks that she killed you. She is sad, blames herself, suffers, and is desperate..."
"Her soul was torn apart by the overwhelming sorrow."
"And the shattered soul was awakened... or rather, the dormant will of the ancestor was forced out."
"The other her, the me who is talking to you now, wakes up."
Yun Che: “…”
The voice of the ancestor's will gradually faded away again, and in his sea of soul, a scene that he was extremely familiar with appeared.
Red curtains, still-burning red candles, familiar arrangements… This was exactly where he lived in the Xiao Clan back then. That day was the day he and Xia Qingyue (Situ Xuan) got married, and it was also a major turning point in his destiny.
Breaking point...
He was poisoned to death on the day of his wedding, and then was reborn in Cangyun Continent. When Cangyun Continent fell off the Jueyun Cliff, he woke up in the body that was originally poisoned to death, and merged the memories of the two lives...
This has always been the biggest and unsolvable mystery about him.
Even though he was at the top of the world, he could not understand what had happened to him at that time.
When he returned to Cang Yun Continent, it was actually the Cang Yun Continent of many years ago. The Su Ling'er who had disappeared from his memory had turned into a young girl who had not yet grown up.
And Su Ling'er later awakened to his memories of those years, proving that his life in Cangyun Continent was not an illusion.
Could it be that the real reason behind all this incomprehensible stuff is...
yes……
In the picture, he was dressed in red, his body stiffly lying in front of the bed, his eyes still open but without any color.
Beside him, Xiao Lie pressed his hands on his heart, trying desperately to use his profound energy to force the poison out of his body... His lips were blue, his face was pale, and he tried hard to keep his expression calm, but the pain in his eyes was unbearable to look at.
Next to him, Xia Yuanba ran out screaming, calling out the name of the Xuanfu instructor. Xiao Lingxi knelt on the ground, tightly holding his gradually cold hand, crying heartbreakingly.
At this moment, the light suddenly dimmed.
All the scenes became dim, and all the sounds faded away... Gradually, the world became completely dark, with only the girl's desperate back and crying left.
"It turns out that sadness can really break one's soul... Is this a human emotion?"
The girl raised her head in a daze, tears on her cheeks and her eyes like stars: "Who are you?"
"I am another you, and you are another me...When I appeared, you felt it, didn't you?"
“…Save Xiao Che.” She murmured softly, and then, as if she was drowning and clutching at a life-saving straw, her broken starry eyes shone with a deep glimmer, and her voice became so urgent: “Save Xiao Che! Save Xiao Che quickly!!”
"The disappearance of a mortal life is but a speck of dust that dies between heaven and earth. It is not worthy of your emotion, let alone your sadness." An illusory voice rang out in the colorless world: "The soul has collapsed, the ancestor has awakened, the reincarnation of this life has failed, and the immaculate holy body cannot be completed."
"But it doesn't matter. Although it was useless, it didn't hurt either. In this life, I will see this ordinary world again with a clear mind and a mortal existence. The complete rebirth will be left to the reincarnation in the next life."
"So, let our wills merge. In the countless years of vicissitudes and changes, his death will be buried like dust, and you will no longer feel the slightest sadness."
“No…No!!”
The approaching ancestor's will was met with an extremely firm rejection from the girl's will.
Her body retreated subconsciously, and the emotion she released was a kind of determination mixed with fear.
After all, that was her will in the past. She could vaguely sense what kind of existence it was, so she was afraid... afraid that her true self would ignore the will of "Xiao Lingxi" and would ignore, or even ignore, the name Xiao Che.
"Save him...save him...save him..."
She recited it again and again, begged again and again... begged another self.
A long sigh came from the colorless world.
"It's just my (your) new will, why is it so strong..."
"I (you) used to look down on everything in the world, and only had a faint sigh for the wonderful emotions of ordinary spirits. Only after deriving from my own body did I realize... that it could be so intense..."
"Save him...save him quickly!" She repeated the same plea over and over again: "You can save him...you must be able to save him!"
"Life and death are difficult to reverse. This is the basic law I (you) set when I created the world. However, there is room for maneuver outside of the law."
"I (you) have not yet completed my rebirth, and cannot directly reverse his life and death. But with the power of nothingness that I (you) have recovered now, it is enough to reverse the time wheel of this world to a certain extent, and let time go back to the moment when he was not yet dead."
"In this way, he was able to reverse his life and death in an indirect way and come back to life."
"However, given my (your) current state, you (I) should be very clear about the cost of doing so."
“It doesn’t matter anymore, nothing matters anymore…” The girl’s heart and soul were still broken. She shook her head vigorously. Apart from tears and sorrow, apart from the desire and obsession to save him, there was nothing else in her broken soul: “I just want him to come back alive… I want my little Che to come back alive.”
"Your will is my will. And what is occupying your (my) will at this moment is the strongest obsession in your (my) existence. I am destined to be unable to refuse it."
"You (I) can ignore the consequences for this, but have you ever thought that he is not only a mortal, but also a very humble being among mortals. His body, which cannot be cultivated, makes him almost unable to resist any risks."
"Without a strong enough force to protect him, anyone can easily put him to death, just like now."
Xiao Lingxi: “…”
"You saved him today. Will you save him every time in the future?... Every time you save him in the same way, your incomplete Void Saint Body will be damaged a little bit, and the damage will be greater each time."
"Even so, given his physical condition, his life span is no more than a hundred years. What will you do then?"
The girl's eyes gradually lost focus, but after a moment, a strange divine light quickly gathered in them.
"Then give him your (my) Holy Body of Nothingness... so that he can have... a power that no one can harm him."
“Alas—” Another long sigh, the empty voice slowly said: “The holy body is derived from the nothingness of the original chaos. It is the body of my (your) ancestor. How absurd it is to forever destroy itself and give it to mortals.”
"But since it is your (my) obsession, I will do as you (I) wish."
"Of course... I (you) can indeed allow him to possess a holy body at the human level, but you should understand that in my (your) current state, before I am reborn, I cannot even manifest my own power, let alone directly give him power."
“To put it another way, even if he could… He only had a Saint Body, but no profound veins, and he simply couldn’t bear the power. He would still be easily deprived of his life. Therefore, the Saint Body in his body only extended his lifespan.”
Xiao Lingxi looked ahead and whispered, “There are countless lives in this world, and countless destinies… Why is it that only he is so unfair?”
"Born with a disability, he has been looked down upon and despised. Now that he is barely a teenager, he has been murdered again... Why must my little Che have to endure such a fate!"
There was a long silence, and then a disembodied voice said, "You (I) want to... change his fate?"
"Give him a holy body and change his fate!"
Her voice was exceptionally low and slow. As the memories of the ancestor awakened, she showed a look that Yun Che had never seen in Xiao Lingxi before.
These eight short words are holy words that only the Ancestral God is qualified to utter.
"The Holy Body allows his body to accommodate any form of power without order, and is close to the law of the void that ordinary spirits can never touch. This allows him to possess power that transcends boundaries in a very short period of time in this godless world."
"Change his fate, so that he can safely survive any disaster, so that he can gather the luck of heaven and earth and gain the greatest opportunities and blessings in the world..."
"You (I) can do it, I know...you (I) can do it."
The empty voice responded to her: "Destiny is the most untouchable and uninterrupted thing in this world. This is one of the most basic and important laws that I (you) set when I created the world."
"Because even the smallest interference of fate with an ordinary creature can cause an enormous change in cause and effect."
"Luck, as a part of destiny, is kept in balance by the strictest rules. Even I (you) cannot create it out of thin air."
"If you insist on changing his fate, with my (your) current power, the only way I can think of is... the Chain of Fate."
“The lock of destiny…” Xiao Lingxi whispered softly, trying to figure out its concept in her vague cognition.
"All the spirits in the world have a predetermined fate. To tie the fate, one of them must be a newborn spirit... Therefore, to change his fate, he must first create a new one. The person he creates will become the carrier of his fate, and can also be called the 'vessel of fate'."
"However, newly created creatures are also complete individuals. Under the unbreakable law of the balance of fate, this will be extremely unfair and cruel to them. Even so, will you (I) still insist?"
Without any hesitation, the girl closed her eyes and said softly: "I said, I just want him to live, I just want him to live a peaceful life, and no longer have to endure such a pitiful fate... The rest... is not important... is not important..."
"Okay, although the price is high, but... it's what you (I) wish."
"To achieve the Holy Body of Nothingness, one must go through a lifetime of reincarnation. The power of the Samsara Mirror has not yet recovered, so the only option is to activate it forcefully."
"In this reincarnation, he will still be on this planet... and will go to the continent called 'Cangyun'."
"In this life when he reincarnates to Cangyun Continent to complete the fusion of his holy body, I will suspend the time wheel of the entire world except Cangyun Continent. During this period, I will create the 'Vessel of Destiny' for him, rationalize its existence, and change and correct all the causes and effects related to it."
"Fortunately, Liuyun City is just a small city with few inhabitants and little foreign influence. The correction of cognitive causality is relatively simple. With my (your) current weak but incomplete strength, perhaps it can be completed within five years."
"When his reincarnation is complete and he returns to the body of 'Xiao Che', he will go back to the time of Cangyun Continent and restore the time of the world."
The tears slowly slid down the girl's face, and the brokenness in her starry eyes seemed to be less. She whispered softly: "This way, my little Che can come back... and he won't have to be so humble and be hurt so easily."
"So, what kind of 'vessel of destiny' do you hope will be linked to his fate?"
Xiao Lingxi stared ahead and said in a daze, “I am his aunt, destined not to be his wife. Situ Xuan is not worthy of being his wife… I hope that person can replace Situ Xuan and become his wife… She must have a strong enough talent and will, and a heart that is cold on the outside but soft on the inside, so that she can protect him before he grows up and resist and eliminate all disasters for him.”
After a long silence, an empty voice sounded: "In this small Liuyun City, there is a wisp of extremely pure Hongmeng Qi. In fact... it may be the purest Hongmeng Qi in the world."
"It is in the body of the young man named Xia Yuanba. When this primordial aura is completely integrated with his body, he will possess a 'Great Desolate Divine Body' that has never appeared in the world without gods."
"Now, 10% of the Hongmeng Qi has been integrated with him. The remaining 90% will be taken by force and given to him as the 'Vessor of Destiny'."
"Xia Yuanba inherited his talent from his mother, who was called 'Dongxue' by Xia Hongyi, but was actually a woman from the 'God Realm' named Yue Wugou. Her 'Pure Divine Body' was a miracle in today's world, but due to a trick of fate, she fell into this small city in the lower realm and gave birth to this child with the ordinary spirit Xia Hongyi."
“With my (your) current power, it is impossible to create something without roots. If you want the ‘Vessor of Destiny’ to perfectly integrate the Hongmeng power taken from Xia Yuanba, the bloodline of its mother must be taken from Yue Wu Gou. And the bloodline of its father…”
After a brief pause, she continued, "Xia Hongyi is ultimately a mortal spirit. His blood is too low and turbid. If we merge his blood to create something new, it will actually pollute the Primordial Qi."
“If he had not encountered such a tragic fate, the person Yue Wu Gou would have truly loved would have been Yue Wu Ya, the Moon God Emperor of the Moon God Realm. He possesses the bloodline of the Moon God that is revered by the world, and is undoubtedly the perfect choice.”
"The blood of his father was taken from Yue Wuya. This can be regarded as fulfilling their lost wishes in an inappropriate way."
"She was born in Liuyun City. She is the daughter of Xia Hongyi and Yue Wugou. However... this kind of bloodline creation will produce a far more extraordinary bloodline resonance when the bloodlines are close."
"If one day, she gets close to Yue Wuya, the overly strong blood resonance might expose a flaw. I just hope that such an accident won't happen too soon in two worlds that are so far apart."
"The Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace in the north was abandoned by the people of the God Realm. If they choose it as their master, it may become an opportunity for them to touch a higher plane in the future."
As the words passed, the shape of the "Vessel of Destiny" took shape.
With Yue Wu Gou as her mother, Yue Wu Ya as her blood father, Xia Hong Yi as her cognitive father, Bing Yun Xiangong as her master, she took away Xia Yuanba's primordial energy and married Yun Che...
"Since Xia Hongyi is my father, I naturally took Xia as my last name."
"Xia Hongyi is also a love-obsessed person. He has devoted his whole life to only Yue Wu Gou. Even though she has been gone for many years, his feelings have not changed at all. So, I named her..."
“Xia Qingyue.”
“Xia Qingyue…” The girl whispered the name: “She will protect Xiao Che…right?”
"The instrument of destiny is not absolute. Although she was created by me (you), I (you) cannot control what her final will will be. There is no way to predict what his and her final future will be."
"but……"
"If the shackles of fate are broken, he will be blessed with good fortune, which will help him to continuously obtain blessings that others cannot obtain. In addition, with the Void Saint Body, he will grow very quickly as you wish, until he grows to surpass all living beings in the world, and no one can harm or bully him anymore."
"And she..."
"Under the balance of fate, she on the other side of the chain of fate will bring cruel disaster to the things she cares about."
"If you are a sister, your brothers and sisters will often encounter death;"
"If he were a disciple, his master and his school would be destroyed;"
"If she were a daughter, her parents would not have a good end;"
"If you become a mother, all your children will die young;"
"If he were an emperor, the land under his rule would be reduced to ashes."
"She suffered misfortune in exchange for Xiao Che's happiness. This is the cruel chain of fate. After all, she was created from nothingness. One day, she will gradually see everything clearly... and see the fact that she exists as a 'vessel of fate'."
"By that time, perhaps he has grown to the point where he no longer needs the 'Vessor of Destiny'. But she is destined to never forgive herself. Perhaps, she will choose to end her own life to end the misery she has brought to the people she cares about."
"An extremely huge price to pay, an extremely cruel shackle of fate... Are you still going to do this?"
This was her last inquiry.
Xiao Lingxi's eyes did not change, and her voice was slow and firm: "The memory of the Ancestral God seems to be within reach, yet it seems to be out of reach. I cannot fully understand my will as the Ancestral God. But, at least at this moment... even if it means burying this world, I must... save him."
“This is the final will, and it is the will that has never changed.” The voice gradually faded away, and cracks appeared in the dark world: “Then I will sacrifice the power of six hundred reincarnations to fulfill your (my) wish.”
