Yun Che listened quietly to every word. All of this information was obtained at the cost of the Ancestral God's life. Although he already knew some of the information, there was still a lot of new information that touched his nerves.
Every word that landed on Yun Che's heart and soul created ripples that would be engraved on him for the rest of his life. A growing heartache began to spread from his heart throughout his body. He tried hard to support his chest with his hands to prevent himself from collapsing.
The Ancestral God bestowed upon him a grace that could never be repaid, and a heavy responsibility that his life could not bear. Yun Che was in a trance for a moment, and at that moment, he truly understood what he had lost.
If Xiao Lingxi is the most special person in his life, then this "special" must be related to the Ancestral God who has always been hidden in her soul. It is precisely because she is the reincarnation of the Ancestral God that there is the Yun Che we have today, and it is because Yun Che has such a wonderful life, and it is because of this that Yun Che has grown to his current level.
At this moment, Yun Che closed his eyes and looked up at the sky, using his most powerful soul perception to express the most devout gratitude in his life to the Ancestral God.
Yun Che slowly approached and embraced Xiao Lingxi, his fingers rubbing back and forth on her back. He buried his head deeply into her shoulder. Yun Che could no longer suppress his emotions. Tears blurred his eyes and soaked his clothes. He was completely immersed in a long-lasting sorrow, unable to extricate himself.
Xiao Lingxi sensed Yun Che's grief at the moment, and her heart felt like it was missing a piece. She hugged Yun Che tightly with her backhand and buried her head in his arms.
She no longer felt pain, nor did she feel the slightest discomfort. The moment her memories merged, Xiao Lingxi finally understood who she was now. She was no longer just the woman of the Xuan Dao realm. She was a completely new individual, endowed with the complete will of the original Xiao Lingxi.
"Xiao Che, don't be sad. She and I have always been here and have never left." Xiao Lingxi whispered softly. At this moment, she ignored the memory seal set by the Ancestral God and wanted to tell the truth.
Yun Che gripped Xiao Lingxi's shoulders with both hands, staring blankly at the familiar figure before him. He didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Lingxi's words, but simply took them as words of comfort. However, his heart still ached deeply, because he had lost half of Xiao Lingxi, the Xiao Lingxi who made him feel "special."
"Lingxi, you've done enough for me. The rest of the journey will be walked by myself. I won't let you down, and I won't let you down. This chaotic world will be protected by me, and I will continue it." Yun Che turned around with a look of resolute determination, preparing to leave again, regret and grief still lingering in his heart.
"Yun Che, your current state of mind is flawed, and you're unable to unleash your greatest strength. I don't want you to face this final battle with such a mindset. What she doesn't want to tell you, I'll tell you." Xiao Lingxi called out to Yun Che again. The way she addressed him changed, and even the way she spoke and her tone of voice suddenly changed, as if she had become a completely different person.
Yun Che turned to look at Xiao Lingxi. Even at his current level, he was still unable to see through the abnormality that was happening to Xiao Lingxi. This was because there was no soul fluctuation in her body at all. She seemed to be the same person, but the feeling she gave him was completely different.
It was obvious that the Xiao Lingxi standing before Yun Che was not the timid woman, but an incomparably noble and holy person, who could only be the Ancestral God.
“Ancestral God?” Yun Che asked nervously. He was afraid that all this wasn’t real, that this was just a sudden hallucination.
“Yes and no.” Xiao Lingxi’s answer was somewhat puzzling.
Xiao Lingxi took a step forward and stood in front of Yun Che. She fixed her eyes on him and said, "You can think of me as her replacement. I possess some of her memories, but not all of them."
"My true identity is actually her Ancestral Divine Gang. Although I possess the exact same body and some of her memories, I am not the real her. However, your Xiao Lingxi is still the same Xiao Lingxi, and she possesses all of Xiao Lingxi's memories."
Yun Che couldn't help but look Xiao Lingxi up and down. He hadn't noticed anything different before, but now it turned out that the person before him was a soulless Ancestral Divine Gang...
“Ancestral God, does she also possess a bloodline power similar to mine?” Yun Che asked softly. He was somewhat overjoyed at this result, but it was not unacceptable.
"To be precise, this is a gift the Ancestral God has possessed since birth. However, the Ancestral Divine Gang lacks any soul or thoughts. It has no ideas of its own, like a puppet," Xiao Lingxi replied. "The Demonic Gang you possess is merely a variation of the Ancestral Divine Gang. While it shares some similarities, there are also differences."
"Before she truly departed, she left all of Xiao Lingxi's memories, along with some of her own, within the Ancestral Divine Hand, erasing all of its power. Thus, I came into being."
"So, in fact, the Ancestral God has not left. He has always been here. You don't need to feel sad or regretful."
Xiao Lingxi told Yun Che everything, and in the end, the Ancestral God used this method to fill the last regret in Yun Che's heart.
“Which part of the memories… did she leave behind?” Yun Che was very clear about the Ancestral God’s past. She had experienced thousands of reincarnations and possessed a consciousness that had existed since the birth of the Primal Chaos World. However, these were not what Yun Che cared about. He only cared about one part of the memories, which belonged to the intersection of his and the Ancestral God.
“What do you think? Now that I still remember you and can tell you all this, which part do you think it will be?” Xiao Lingxi said with a smile. Although she didn’t say it explicitly, the answer was already reflected on her face.
The dark cloud that had been lingering over Yun Che's heart and soul suddenly dissipated a little. The Xiao Lingxi who had returned was indeed still the little aunt he was familiar with. Nothing had changed.
Even the Ancestral God has not really left, and his unique memories still exist. Everything is just right, not a bit more or less.
“Thank you for telling me everything. You are the most special person to me and have filled the void in my heart.” Yun Che smiled back. At this moment, he truly felt the satisfaction coming from his heart.
The ancestral divine power in his body seemed to sense the joy and also began to leap uncontrollably.
“We’re waiting for you to come back. Remember, you never fight alone,” Xiao Lingxi whispered.
