Upon seeing the woman in white, Fang Xiu was also breathless.
His originally blood-red eyes turned even more crimson, with flames of hatred burning fiercely within them. After countless years, he finally... finally saw his wife again!
At this moment, he forgot all about the Demon Ancestor and the seal; he had only one thought in mind.
"Die!"
boom!
The roar of ten thousand demons seemed to echo through the void, accompanied by celestial chants. The light of supreme evil and supreme holiness erupted from Fang Xiu's body, shaking the heavens and the earth.
This punch, imbued with endless hatred and nurtured over countless years, was unleashed at this moment.
Faced with the punch, the woman shook her head slightly and parted her lips: "I am not her."
Buzz!
Fang Xiu stopped his fist in front of the woman's face.
A pair of bloodshot eyes stared intently at the woman: "Who are you!"
"The Way of Heaven".
Fang Xiu withdrew his fist. He knew that the woman in front of him was not his wife. Even though the two looked exactly alike, the feeling was different.
Once he calms down, he will never mistake his wife for someone else.
Seeing that Fang Xiu had calmed down, the woman continued, "Fang Xiu, we have finally met again."
again?
Fang Xiu frowned, his mind involuntarily recalling the battle of consciousness he had with Zhou Qingfeng back in the mortal world.
At that time, he summoned countless evil spirits to corrupt him, thus forcing Zhou Qingfeng to comply. He did succeed in forcing Zhou Qingfeng's consciousness out of his body, but later, due to the severe corruption, his own consciousness descended into complete madness.
As he lay dying, his wife in white appeared.
Is it worth it?
He remembered what the woman in white had said.
"You're the one who saved me back then?" Fang Xiu asked in a deep voice.
The woman in white nodded.
At this moment, Fang Xiu also realized that perhaps he had two wives, and they had always been two people.
"What did you mean by 'was it worth it'?"
The woman in white smiled slightly: "That's not important. You'll find out soon enough. Right now, I just want to take a good look at you, since we can only truly meet once in each reincarnation."
Fang Xiu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He hated riddle people, especially those who looked exactly like his wife.
"What exactly is going on? And why do you all look exactly alike? Also, since you are the Heavenly Dao, and the Demon Ancestor is about to break free from his seal, why aren't you worried at all?"
The woman in white seemed not to hear Fang Xiu's words; she gazed at him gently.
After a moment, she said softly, "Actually, she and I are one person. To be precise, we are both the Dao of Heaven."
The Heavenly Dao was originally without form, emotion, good or evil; it was merely a cold set of rules. However, after being corrupted, the Heavenly Dao gradually became evil. At that time, the Heavenly Dao was not yet severely corrupted. In order to stop the corruption, the Heavenly Dao severed the evil aspect that carried the source of the corruption and sealed it away.
And without evil, the Way of Heaven is left with only the aspect of good.
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly: "In other words, you are the Way of Good, while the Demon Ancestor is the Way of Evil."
The woman in white nodded: "That's right. After the Heavenly Dao severed itself, it split into us. We have been fighting against each other. At first, she was very weak, but there is too much evil in the world. All of this evil will become her nourishment and help her grow little by little."
Later, she grew stronger and stronger. Even when those ancient gods merged with the Dao and lent me a helping hand, they could only barely suppress her.
After that, I think you understand everything.
Fang Xiu remained silent for a moment before saying, "Was it you who transported me to this world? Was it you who gave me the ability to rewind time after death?"
The woman in white had an enigmatic expression: "It is me, because she and I are one. Neither of us can kill the other, and as the Heavenly Dao, there is nothing in this world that can kill us. I do not want the world to be destroyed in her hands, so I must rely on the power outside the world, which is you, Fang Xiu."
It was I who broke through the world barrier and brought you here from another world, and the death rollback is also the authority of the Heavenly Dao.
Only you, from outside this world, can retain your memories during a death rewind, because your consciousness is not on this world's timeline. The rest are me and her, because we are part of the Heavenly Dao, and therefore unaffected by death rewinds.
Fang Xiu's expression grew increasingly indifferent: "Why did you choose me?"
The woman in white smiled bitterly: "Perhaps this is fate's arrangement. I did not choose, nor could I choose. With my power, I can only break through the world barrier and randomly select one person from other worlds."
"So, it's just my bad luck?"
"Fang Xiu, I know you will blame me. I ruined your original life and forced the responsibility of the entire world onto you. So I want to do my best to make it up to you. However, all I can do now is not give up."
"do not give up?"
"Well, actually I've wanted to give up for a long time because I don't want to see you suffer, but for you, I won't give up."
Fang Xiu frowned, because he didn't understand what those words meant. What did it mean that he didn't want to see me suffer, so he wanted to give up, but for my sake, he wouldn't give up?
What are we giving up?
Just then, click...
A crack suddenly appeared on the Well of Heavenly Dao, and the cracks multiplied, as if the Well of Heavenly Dao was about to shatter at any moment.
The woman in white's expression changed slightly: "Time is running out. She'll be out soon. Fang Xiu, please accept my power. This is my final compensation to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xiu found that he could not move his body.
