Yuan Ji said with disdain, "Fortunately, those soul formations are broken. From now on, Guan Ying will be gone forever and will never be reborn."
"Living Buddha, is Guan Ying the same person as Guan Yingying, the current Princess Yurong?" Xie Zhaozhao asked.
"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?" Yuan Ji looked at Xie Zhaozhao with an expression that said, "You know the answer but are pretending not to."
"So, if the soul array is destroyed and Guan Yingying dies, she will never be reborn?"
Xie Zhaozhao said, "To be honest, the Living Buddha, being reborn is a matter of fate, but she has been obsessed with using the Panacea to harm people, which is a real headache for me."
“With the destruction of the soul-summoning formations of various countries and the blessing of the high monks of those countries, how could she have any chance of being reborn? I'm afraid she will fall into the Avici Hell and never be able to be reborn.”
When Yuan Ji said this, Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao both understood.
Guan Yingying's repeated rebirths were not due to any extraordinary merit she had accumulated.
Rather, it was the ambition of the Eastern Emperor to conquer the world that had led him to summon her soul for thousands of years, and he even tricked other countries into setting up soul arrays to help her summon her soul.
Especially since Xian Dou is from the birthplace of Buddha, her merits are so powerful that they naturally played a strong role in her rebirth and reincarnation.
Now that the Four Kingdoms Soul Summoning Formation has been destroyed, if Dong Li's soul formation is also destroyed, she will never be reborn again.
Therefore, we need to find a way to destroy Dongli's soul-summoning formation.
Xie Zhaozhao then understood that the Living Buddha Yuanji had come to send those who had no merit but were constantly being reborn to where they were meant to go.
Yuanji ate a meal in the palace and then left.
Zhou Shaoyu personally saw him out.
Yuan Ji took long strides, and Zhou Shaoyu had to exert himself to catch up with him.
"You have something to say, don't you?" Yuan Ji said with a smile. "I know what you want to ask."
"..."
"Didn't you already know that?"
Zhou Shaoyu thought of the dream Xu Li had told him. It seemed that it wasn't a dream, but Zhao Zhao's real past life.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Then she..." He wanted to ask Xie Zhaozhao if she knew about her past life? Did she, like Xu Li, have a long nightmare?
However, he gave up, no longer caring about the past or the future, but cherishing every moment he spent with her.
Thinking about how she chose him in this life, she felt a mix of sweetness, happiness, and relief.
“That’s right,” Yuanji said with a smile, “Our meeting in this life is a predestined connection from our past lives.”
In no time at all, they disappeared without a trace.
Upon his return, Zhou Shaoyu immediately summoned his ministers and inquired about the current situation in Dongli.
Ling Xun said: "Since Dongli's defeat last year, various countries on the mainland have severed diplomatic relations with it. Beset by internal and external troubles, it is struggling to survive on the deserted island and has sought peace several times."
The ministers all said, "We will not negotiate with this tiny country with its wolfish ambitions."
Zhou Shaoyu suddenly said, "I think we can visit Dongli to see their sincerity."
Ultimately, Zhou Shaoyu dispatched a delegation, led by Xie Yu, accompanied by Generals Nanxing and Xu Li.
On the first day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Yulong, the Yulong envoy delegation arrived in the capital of Dongli Kingdom. The Emperor of Dongli came out to greet them for three hundred li and welcomed the ministers of the superior country to the palace.
On the ninth day of the seventh month, a torrential rain and tsunami struck Dongli Kingdom. The royal temple, Tianfu Temple, was suddenly struck by lightning and completely destroyed.
The temple's collection of relics (bones and hair) of famous figures from various dynasties was completely destroyed by fire and scattered by the strong wind.
Upon hearing the devastating news, Emperor Dongli fainted in the latrine.
After returning from Dongli Kingdom, the court confirmed that the soul formations of Xiandou, Pyu, Nanzhao, and Tubo had all been destroyed, and decided to release Guan Yingying from the Yongxiang prison so that she could reunite with her son, Gu Yuebai.
Meanwhile, Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao decided to contact Dong Li and inform them that they had found their "ancestor".
Guan Yingying was extremely excited and longing to go to Dongli.
"No wonder I have traveled through time and been reborn again and again. It turns out that my descendants are calling out to me." Guan Yingying said excitedly, "Since I am your ancestor, I will definitely make Dongli Kingdom the strongest country and stand tall in the Tiansheng Continent."
In the tenth month of the fifth year of the Jade Dragon reign, the Emperor of Dongli personally came to the Jade Dragon Kingdom to welcome Guan Yingying and Gu Yuebai. The two were escorted away by the Dongli Kingdom with three kneelings and nine kowtows.
Soon after, news came that Guan Yingying had been appointed as the Queen of the Azure Sky.
Gu Yuebai was named the Crown Prince of Cangqiong.
In November of the same year, the Dongli Kingdom dispatched its guards to escort King Cangqiong to the Nanzhao Kingdom to open trade channels.
They exchanged grain for a large amount of hibiscus paste and brought back many plant seeds, which were said to have extremely beautiful flowers.
In the eighth year of the Jade Dragon era, a sudden tragedy struck the Kingdom of Dongli: the Emperor of Dongli had died from an overdose of a certain medicine.
The Azure Sky King replaced him, taking the title of Azure Sky Emperor, and his son, Gu Yuebai, was made Crown Prince of the Eastern Li Kingdom.
However, Dongli was extremely dissatisfied with the Emperor, and uprisings broke out one after another.
Emperor Qionghuang reigned for only one month before being beaten to death in court by his ministers.
It is said that his death was extremely gruesome. After his death, his bones were dismembered and his body was mutilated. Monks chanted incantations and together they sent him to the deepest hell.
The newly appointed Crown Prince of Dongli also died in this political struggle.
