“Ling’er!!!” Yun Che had never dreamed that he would have the chance to see Su Ling’er again in this life, and in such a critical situation.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch it, but when his fingers lightly touched the void light of the Eternal Life Formation, Yun Che woke up as if from a dream. He gently retracted his fingers, and ultimately did not leave the Eternal Life Formation.
Ling'er... I'm sorry... I can't... I can't be so willful anymore...
Yun Che slowly closed his eyes. At that moment, he felt a piercing pain in his heart, but he could only make such a painful choice...
Yun Che was no stranger to such scenes. The former Evil Infant Jasmine had stood before him, and he had chosen to save her the first time, only to experience a final, painful reincarnation. So, at the moment of her return, Yun Che struck with unwavering resolve, holding nothing back against Jasmine.
The same was true this time. Before Yun Che finally faced Cang Xi, he had already closed his mind, so even if Su Ling'er appeared at this moment, she could not shake Yun Che's determination.
“Brother Yun Che… I’m so… in pain…” Su Ling’er’s face was distorted beyond recognition. The extreme pain seemed to be drawing a thread, materializing her current agony.
Yun Che’s five fingers were deeply embedded in his flesh. He refused to open his eyes, fearing that the moment his gaze met Su Ling’er, he would be tempted to act impulsively again.
Although Yun Che remained motionless, the gray light rising from his body trembled wildly and uncontrollably. His inner struggle was far more intense than what he showed on the surface.
“What is your relationship with Ling’er? If you dare to make Ling’er suffer such extreme pain again, I, Yun Che, will grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes!” Yun Che roared desperately.
The only remaining rationality in his heart temporarily suppressed his impulse, and the blood on the palm of his hand kept dripping down. Although the battle between the two had not really begun, the psychological warfare of offense and defense had already quietly begun.
“Hehe, I have all of Su Ling’er’s memories, even the memories of her reincarnation. Yun Che, are you so cruel as to watch your beloved suffer such pain?” Cang Xi smiled with a hint of coldness on his face.
"She is the woman you have been willing to protect throughout two lifetimes. Today, you are going to give up on her for this ruined chaotic world? I really misjudged you. It turns out that your so-called utmost love and affection is nothing more than this." Cang Xi continued to sneer.
“My Ling’er is a kind and innocent person. She would never put me in a dilemma just for the sake of her own survival. So, she is just a phantom created by you now!” Yun Che suddenly opened his eyes and said fiercely, as if he saw through everything.
Although the Su Ling'er before him looked incredibly lifelike, with the exact same voice and appearance as in Yun Che's memory, he was certain that this was not the real Su Ling'er.
"Is that so? You know the answer. To tell you the truth, Su Ling'er is merely a special soul fragment of mine. Originally, I couldn't enter this chaotic world at all because of the restrictions of the laws of the Hongmeng universe. As an outsider ancestor god, I absolutely could not break through the chaotic boundary and enter this world."
"Do you know the root of all this? Do you know why I ended up here?" Cang Xi's emerald green eyes stared at Yun Che, a smile inadvertently appearing on the corners of his mouth. "Let me answer you, it's all because of you!"
“Me!?” Yun Che exclaimed in surprise. He didn’t understand what all this had to do with him.
"That's right, because of you, because you touched the soul of the ancestor and started the first reincarnation."
"The timeline of the reincarnation world is separate from the present world, and all the laws within it are beyond the limitations of the Hongmeng universe."
"Originally, I dispersed thousands of soul fragments in an attempt to enter this chaotic world, but none of them succeeded. However, because of the reincarnation cycle you initiated, one of my soul fragments actually traveled through time and space and entered that reincarnation. She transformed into Su Ling'er and spent a lifetime with you."
"Originally, this soul fragment should have dissipated after that reincarnation, but unexpectedly, it miraculously reincarnated back into Su Ling'er's body. Because of this, my soul fragment successfully entered this chaotic world and completed the connection with me."
"I want to thank you for all this. Without you, this wouldn't have been possible. I think the reason that the soul fragment didn't dissipate and instead returned to the mortal world was probably due to your influence. You retain the memory of reincarnation and have a special affection for Su Ling'er. So, ultimately, the will of the Ancestral God, under your influence, also retained Su Ling'er's part."
"Aren't you wondering why you and Su Ling'er are the only ones in this world who have awakened their memories of reincarnation? Or is it because this special existence is Su Ling'er that you don't even dare to think about it?" Cang Xi smiled ghostly. At this moment, her empty eyes bloomed with a deep green light. She knew very well that she had won this round.
Cang Xi's words undoubtedly hurt the softest part of Yun Che's heart.
Yun Che's steps suddenly stumbled, and his head felt as if it had been suddenly stabbed. He lost consciousness for a moment. When he regained consciousness, he reviewed everything that had happened in the past.
Indeed, only he, Su Ling'er, and Yun Gu had the memory of reincarnation...
Because Yun Che is the leader of reincarnation, he retains all his memories.
Yun Gu is the sword spirit of the original Zhutian ancestor. He awakened because of reincarnation... Strictly speaking, he appeared again because of Yun Che.
Yun Che originally thought that Su Ling'er's memories of two lives were due to the Sky Poison Sword... but now, thinking carefully about it, it seemed that nothing was out of the ordinary...
Without a strong soul, without the power to transcend reincarnation, how could one awaken memories of reincarnation...
I should have thought of it earlier...
Yun Che lowered his eyes, a trace of sadness on his face. So… so everything that was happening now… was related to him…
The entire story originated during the first reincarnation, when Yun Che was poisoned... This triggered the ancestral spirit within Xiao Lingxi...
Thus, Yun Che was reborn and gained great fortune...
Then the Sword Spirit of the Ancestral Zhutian awakened and resumed his supervisory duties...
Then, the soul of the Outer Chaos Ancestral God descended, successfully crossing the boundary between the two chaotic worlds...
“So… so this is how everything is… it’s me… because I changed the course of this entire chaotic world…” Yun Che’s face was filled with self-blame. He had never imagined that the truth would be this way.
According to the original timeline of the chaotic world, perhaps Cang Xi would never have arrived, and the chaotic world could have maintained long-term peace...
Unfortunately, there are no ifs...
