The girl in red gazed at the clusters of souls floating in the sky like giant dandelions, and said, "My mind is made up. I have lived for a very, very long time, and I am so tired, so very tired, that I can no longer bear any more years. My friends and family are all gone; they have long since entered the cycle of reincarnation. I want to forget all the unpleasantness; I want to be reborn."
"Perhaps after reincarnation, I will never be able to cultivate to my current level, but that doesn't matter."
Watching her fly into the sky, Ayao called out to her, "Wait."
The girl in red turned around, floating in mid-air, looking at A Yao and Feng Chu.
Ayao asked, "I haven't asked your name yet."
"Wanwan, my name is Wanwan," the girl in red said with a smile. "Thank you for releasing me. Perhaps we can meet again in reincarnation."
After she finished speaking, she transformed into a streak of red light and flew towards the Bridge of Helplessness.
Ayao and Feng Chu flew onto the small boat. Standing on it, they watched as the red light landed on the Bridge of Helplessness, transforming into a girl in red. Wanwan stood on the Bridge of Helplessness, smiled at them, and walked forward. As she walked, her figure became blurred.
Then she turned into a ball of light, like a dandelion in the wind, and flew forward.
The surging souls rushed forward like a torrent, and soon Ayao and Feng Chu could no longer tell which one was Wanwan.
The cycle of reincarnation washed away her aura, and she became a brand new soul.
"Immortality, immortality! Countless beings throughout the myriad realms seek immortality and the Dao, all for the sake of immortality, for the sake of never dying. But now it seems that immortality doesn't necessarily bring true freedom. It turns out that the long years can be exhausting. No wonder even the Immortal Emperor cannot truly be eternal," Feng Chu said with deep emotion.
Ayao thought of Xu Fengzhi, who, as Lou Munan's alter ego, had lived longer than Wanwan. What had he experienced during those long years? Did his heart also feel weary?
She knew so little about him, and she so desperately wanted to know more about him, but unfortunately, she no longer had the chance.
Ayao's eyes dimmed involuntarily.
Xie Chen stood to the side, gazing thoughtfully at the countless souls on the Bridge of Helplessness.
Beneath the crimson moon, on a small boat floating in the sky, a girl in purple and a boy in white remained silent. They gazed at the Bridge of Helplessness until it disappeared from sight, only then urging their boat away from the spot.

In the valley, the corpses of various creatures were piled up like mountains. On a throne made of bones, sat a hunched and strange man. He wore a tattered gray robe, and under his hood, his head looked like a shriveled skull.
Countless bats swirled around him, these bats had two pairs of wings and their eyes glowed with an eerie green light. They flew in from all directions, making strange noises, as if they were communicating with this strange man in a tattered gray robe.
The strange man spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Can't find it? How could it not be found?"
Green ghostly flames burned in the empty sockets of the strange man's eyes.
The Bone-Crazy Elder, one of the powerful Immortal Kings of the Underworld, enjoys carving his designs on the bones of powerful beings from various races after killing them. He is not a demon, but in terms of the number of lives he has slaughtered, he is no less than the powerful Immortal Kings of the Demon Realm.
Previously, when Feng Chu fought Elder Li of the Sword God Palace, he revealed the aura of his natal sword. Among the powerful figures of the Underworld who noticed this was the Foolish Bone Elder.
The old man with the obsessive bones took a liking to Feng Chu's body and began to plot to possess it.
He had already intended to make his move, but then, A Yao draped the cloak she had made over Feng Chu and released the Golden Jade Cicada, escaping with Feng Chu. Because of the cloak and the Golden Jade Cicada, the Foolish Bone Elder could not sense the presence of Feng Chu and A Yao.
He had been searching for Feng Chu and A Yao these past few days. While he was interested in A Yao, he desired Feng Chu's body even more. So he released a large number of bat spirit pets, but he still couldn't find A Yao and Feng Chu.
"Can't find it? How can I not find it? How can I not find it?" the Bone-Crazy Old Man muttered, his killing intent spreading outwards, black mist surging from his body, and the surrounding bones suddenly turning into powder under the impact of a force.
The bats were frightened and all flew into the sky.
The old man with the eccentric bones stood up and muttered to himself:
"Ruji, go find that woman Ruji. She'll definitely be able to figure out where those two little ones are. Hehe~"
After letting out a few chilling laughs, he turned and disappeared from the spot.

The palace, this is a magnificent palace.
In the magnificent palace, sheer curtains hung low. In front of a screen, there was a chaise lounge where a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in black gauze was resting. This woman had an incredibly alluring figure and exuded a charm that could drive men crazy. She lay on her side, one of her white jade-like hands supporting her cheek, her eyes gently closed, her long hair like dark clouds.
Beside this stunning beauty stood a dozen or so maids, each one incredibly ugly, and not only that, their clothing was utterly vulgar.
These maids all looked young. Although they were extremely ugly, the various scars on their faces clearly showed that they were not born this way, but were tortured into this extremely ugly state.
An ugly maid was kneeling on the ground. She was dressed in brightly colored clothes, had sparse hair, and her face was severely burned, so badly that her features had fused together. She had no nose left, only two holes.
She only had one ear; the other ear had been cut off. It had just been cut off, and the wound on her ear had not yet healed. There were also many bloody welts on her body from being whipped.
She lowered her head and bit her lip, desperately trying to hide her hatred despite her extreme resentment.
This is Lu Xuening.
Over a thousand years ago, A Yao kicked Lu Xuening into a spatial turbulence. She survived thanks to the protective magic treasure given to her by Lou Munan, but ended up in Ru Ji's hands.
Ruji is an absolute beauty, but she is a perverted absolute beauty.
Her favorite thing was to turn beautiful women into ugly women and put them by her side as her maids to highlight her own beauty.
Lu Xuening was burned by the Phoenix True Fire. Ruji, attracted by her ugliness, took her in as a maid. The Phoenix True Fire could directly damage the primordial spirit; without the recovery of the primordial spirit, the physical wounds would not heal. Therefore, Lu Xuening had never been able to regain her original appearance, but Ruji still felt she wasn't ugly enough and had tormented Lu Xuening frequently for over a thousand years.
So, after more than a thousand years, Lu Xuening not only failed to regain her appearance, but became even uglier.
Although Ruji had many maids, she enjoyed torturing Lu Xuening the most, cutting off her ears, gouging out her eyes, and breaking her fingers at the drop of a hat.
Ruji always said with a smile:
"Let me check if your body's self-healing ability has improved even a little bit. This is to examine your cultivation."
Just now, Ruji cut off one of Lu Xuening's ears and fed it to a turtle.
