“It is your Reincarnation Bead,” said the Lord of the Black Nest.
Ayao lowered her head, stretched out her hand, and a bead radiating nine-colored light appeared in her palm.
The Lord of the Black Nest glanced at the Reincarnation Bead in her hand and said, "The Reincarnation Bead possesses immense power over time. Lou Munan wants to use it to reverse time and return to the past. Perhaps, besides reviving Xiaoyue, he also has the idea of reviving Lou Xinyue and the rest of the Lou family."
"He placed Xiaoyue in the Xuanhuang Tower and absorbed her into his primordial spirit. He went to the Demon Realm, conquered all the demons, and became the Lord of the Demon Realm. He called himself Demon Lord Xuantian. Although he was severely injured by Yan Tang before, with the Wusheng Sword, his power became even greater."
Ayao looked around again and saw the Demon Realm four trillion years ago. She saw Lou Munan sitting at the highest point of the Demon Palace, dressed in a magnificent robe, while the demons below knelt before him. All the demons, whether the weakest or the most powerful, had been conquered by him. They looked at Lou Munan with unparalleled fanaticism in their eyes.
"He used these demons to help him find the whereabouts of the Reincarnation Bead. After recovering from his injuries, he began to expand his territory. Yan Tang had originally driven the demons out of the Underworld and the Dark Realm, but under his leadership, the demons made a comeback in these two realms."
As Ayao listened to the words of the Lord of the Black Nest, she saw the fierce battle between the various races of immortals, demons, and spirits and the demon race millions of years ago. Countless powerful figures fell, their bodies falling like meteors, burning, until their primordial spirits were extinguished.
"He didn't find the Reincarnation Pearl, right?" A Yao said to the Lord of the Black Nest.
If he finds her and Xiaoyue is resurrected, she probably won't continue killing.
“No, he has found it,” said the Lord of the Black Nest.
Ayao looked at him in surprise.
“But the Reincarnation Bead does not obey his commands,” said the Lord of the Black Nest.
The surrounding scenery shifted, and they were now inside the Xuanhuang Pagoda. Ayao saw Xiaoyue lying on the jade platform, surrounded by Soul-Nourishing Pearls, and Lou Munan kneeling on the ground, on the verge of collapse.
He gripped the Reincarnation Bead in his hand, cursing, "Why? Why did you refuse me? I just... I just wanted to resurrect someone, I just wanted to resurrect Xiaoyue..."
But the Reincarnation Bead did not react at all in his hands.
Drip, drip, the tears fell onto the ground.
Those were Lou Munan's tears.
The shattered primordial spirit on the jade platform showed a slight reaction.
Lou Munan suddenly looked up. He stood up and saw that Xiaoyue had opened her eyes, but the cracks in her primordial spirit were even more numerous.
"Xiaoyue!"
He ran to Xiaoyue's side.
Xiaoyue looked at Lou Munan, her voice weak: "Uncle, I'm...I'm sorry, I...I didn't listen to you..."
"No, no, it's none of your business." Lou Munan watched as Xiaoyue's primordial spirit dissipated, then grasped one of his hands and infused his life force into his primordial spirit.
Xiao Yue is too weak right now; he can't even withstand too much life force. Injecting too much life force at once will only cause his primordial spirit to dissipate even faster.
"Uncle, Xiaoyue really wants to be with you forever... but... but..." Xiaoyue said with difficulty.
Lou Munan held his hand, tears streaming down her face:
"Your uncle will definitely save you. We'll always be together, we'll always be together."
"Uncle, don't...cry," Xiaoyue looked intently at Lou Munan, though he could no longer see her, she could only feel the tears falling on her soul. "Uncle, Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue is going to find Daddy and Mommy. You...you must be well, be well..."
The boy forced a smile, and his primordial spirit collapsed, turning into starlight-like fragments.
"No, Xiaoyue—"
Lou Munan desperately tried to reassemble his soul fragments, but this time it was all in vain. Since his death, his shattered primordial spirit had been forcibly left in this world for hundreds of thousands of years.
Even if Lou Munan was incredibly powerful, there was nothing he could do. He watched as those fragments of souls disappeared one by one, until not a single one remained.
Ayao let out a heart-wrenching scream as she watched Lou Munan unleash an overwhelming and terrifying power that shattered the Xuanhuang Pagoda.
The screen went dark, and the scene changed again, where she saw Lou Munan once more.
Lou Munan stood atop the highest point of the Demon Realm's palace, holding in his hand the Reincarnation Bead, radiating nine-colored light. He casually tossed the bead aside, and it fell into the abyss. He had intended to destroy this useless, broken bead, but it was one of the three supreme innate treasures, and even the Lifeless Sword, another of the three supreme innate treasures, could not shatter it, so he threw it away.
Ayao looked at him, and Lou Munan looked completely devoid of warmth. Just looking at him was terrifying.
"After Xiaoyue's soul was scattered, he lost his last shred of humanity. Afterward, he completely degenerated into a monster who only knew how to kill, and unleashed a cataclysmic disaster. In the end, Yan Tang defeated him, killed him, and then set up various seals and restrictions at the place where he died."
"Lou Munan is already immortal. He and Xiaoyue are different from all other living beings. Even if his soul is scattered, his shattered soul can regenerate and then reunite. The sealing restrictions set up by Yan Tang are to seal him at the moment of his rebirth, so as to make him unable to be reborn for eternity."
All the illusions vanished, and Ayao saw herself and the Lord of the Black Nest still sitting beside the Cosmic Lake. Looking at the stars reflected in the lake, Ayao was filled with many questions. She looked up:
Why couldn't the Reincarnation Bead save Xiaoyue?
"It does not recognize Lou Munan as its master, so Lou Munan cannot control it," said the Lord of the Black Nest.
Ayao lowered her head. She was now unable to control the Reincarnation Pearl, just like Lou Munan back then.
She thought for a moment and then asked:
How did Yan Tang die?
Yan Tang must have perished, otherwise how could the Great Sun Golden Crow clan have disappeared?
The Lord of Black Nest said, "I don't know."
"When did Xu Fengzhi split off from Lou Munan?"
"I don't quite remember the exact time, but it was after Lou Munan was reborn. In order to escape, he split his main soul. After the main soul came out, it was initially loyal to him. As for why it betrayed him later, and why it gained its own self, I don't know. The main soul didn't give me that part of its memories," said the Lord of the Black Nest.
Ayao has received a lot of information all at once, and her brain is a little slow to process it, or rather, it's processing it too quickly.
The Lord of the Black Nest then dropped a bombshell on her: "I don't know how Yan Tang perished, but I know where her reincarnation is."
"Where?" Ayao asked.
After she finished asking her questions, she noticed that the Lord of the Black Nest was staring at her without saying a word.
After a moment of stunned silence, Ayao looked on in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "Am I the reincarnation of Yan Tang?"
