Chapter 79 The Truth.
Upon hearing this, not only Mo Xiu, but even the usually calm and collected Mo Qi could no longer remain composed.
"What did you say? You were all reborn?"
Not only the Immortal Venerable, but even his demonic cultivator subordinates nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Your Majesty, something has gone wrong in this world. We have all been reborn!" the Grand Elder said, and then he explained the whole truth to Mo Qi in detail.
It turns out that in the world before their rebirth, a major problem had arisen long ago: the spiritual energy had become increasingly scarce for some unknown reason, making cultivation extremely difficult for all righteous cultivators.
However, this was just the beginning; next, it was the demonic cultivators' turn. Their demonic energy seemed to be drained away, and even absorbing the essence of the sun and moon seemed to offer no benefit to their cultivation.
Eventually, the whole world slowly withered and began to self-destruct.
Countless cultivators perished, ruins were everywhere, and the entire cultivation world was like hell.
Then later, some people were reborn, reborn into a seemingly peaceful world. First, it was the righteous cultivators who were reborn, and then gradually, demonic cultivators began to be reborn.
"Do you mean the time of your rebirth is different?" Mo Xiu asked.
The Immortal Venerable nodded upon hearing this: "That's right, we've also considered the pattern. We think it's highly likely related to the time of our demise."
Spiritual energy depleted much earlier than demonic energy, so our righteous path had already begun to falter long ago. We perished even faster than the demonic cultivators. The cultivation world at that time was truly a living hell.
"However, having been given a second chance at life, we still discovered some variables." As the Immortal Venerable said this, his gaze turned to Mo Qi.
"You mean, the variable is me?" Mo Qi said.
“That’s right!” the Grand Elder said first. “Your Excellency, you don’t know, but in our previous life, before our rebirth, the Demon Lord was not originally you.”
"Who is that?" Mo Qi asked curiously.
"It's hard to say who it is, but the people in this position keep changing. Demonic cultivators are warlike and admire strength. Usually, each demon lord who takes the throne will be killed by the next one not long after he takes the throne. There has never been anyone who can convince all of us."
Until you were reborn, you appeared! Your cultivation speed and talent are unparalleled, whether in the righteous path or the demonic path.
The Heavenly Dao also gave us a revelation later, saying that as long as you continuously improve your cultivation and reach the level of ascension, you might be able to save the world.
However, you are too lazy. If no one bothers you or provokes you, you will always stagnate and no amount of medicine will help you.
"Later, you cultivated to the point where you could ascend, which gave us hope!" the elder said.
Mo Xiu and Mo Qi remained silent for a long time after hearing their words, as the amount of information contained within was simply too great.
According to them, the entire cultivation world was destroyed without knowing why at first, but after they were reborn, a variable appeared, namely Mo Qi.
In that destroyed world, there was no Mo Qi. In the reborn world, Mo Qi appeared, or rather, the Heavenly Dao gave them a revelation, explaining the key to Mo Qi, which is why they noticed this person.
Mo Xiu frowned as she listened. So what was so special about Mo Qi? Why did he have such ability to change the fate of the entire cultivation world?
Also, how did their world become an apocalypse after being invaded by demonic energy?
Mo Xiu had countless questions in her mind, but it was clear that there were some questions that no one could answer for the time being.
"So you all knew from the beginning that I would come back? Or were you aware of my demise as well?" Mo Qi asked the people opposite him, his brows furrowed.
"No, no, Your Majesty, we really didn't know you would fail to ascend and perish. We thought that as long as we followed the guidance of Heaven and tried our best to help you ascend quickly, that would be enough."
Actually, we did consider telling you the truth, but it was as if we were under a spell, and we simply couldn't explain the situation to you.
On the day you ascended to heaven, not only the demonic cultivators but also the righteous cultivators were overjoyed, because we had been waiting for this day.
"If it weren't for the message from Heaven after you disappeared saying that you hadn't really perished, we would have truly given up hope!" the Grand Elder continued.
Fallen...
This was actually Mo Qi's biggest question. If they had all accepted the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, then when his cultivation was sufficient, he should have been protected and able to ascend. Why then did he perish?
Could it be that the Heavenly Dao's initial goal was to make him travel through time? What exactly did the other side want to achieve, that it would take such a step?
As Mo Qi was thinking, he saw golden light fall and shine on him and Mo Xiu.
At the same time, many scenes that had never occurred in his memory surfaced in his mind. And most of those scenes were related to Mo Xiu.
Although the appearance of the young man in the story differs from his current appearance, and even the scenes of them together are different, he can clearly sense that this person is Mo Xiu, and that they seem to be in love.
Suddenly, I remembered the first time I tried to enter the other person's mind with my divine sense. There was no resistance at all. The smooth and unhindered feeling was as if they had done it countless times.
This is not just natural trust, but more like a bond, as if they have the deepest contract that creates this harmony.
Mo Qi had doubts at the time, and now looking at Mo Xiu, could it be that the world she transmigrated to was not the beginning of their fate?
He knew his transmigration was no simple matter, after all, Mo Xiu had also been reborn in that apocalyptic world.
Mo Xiu said that they had met in the world before his rebirth, but they didn't have much interaction and weren't even familiar with each other. So what about these memories flashing through his mind?
At this moment, Mo Qi and Mo Xiu were suddenly pulled into a pure white space in front of everyone.
"Where is this?" Mo Xiu instinctively stood in front of Mo Qi, looking around warily, only to be grabbed by the slender waist of the person behind her.
"Don't be nervous, I don't think there's any danger here," the man whispered in his ear, even taking the opportunity to kiss his cheek.
Mo Xiu felt a little helpless as she sensed her beloved's relaxed nerves. She really couldn't understand why he was still so calm at this critical moment.
"I've always said I want to be a lazy bum because I'm not satisfied with how hard I worked in my past life, and I want to make it up to myself in this one. You're different, you're so relaxed!"
Mo Xiu complained softly, leaning against Mo Qi. He couldn't tell if it was because he was just giving up or because he was influenced by the people around him, but his tense nerves gradually relaxed.
Then he heard the person behind him chuckle and say, "I just didn't sense any hostility here. My intuition is usually quite accurate, so don't worry. Besides, there's nothing in this world that I'm really nervous about except for you."
Turning her head and seeing the gentle eyes of the person beside her, Mo Xiu's ears burned. She couldn't understand how this person could suddenly start saying sweet nothings in such an environment.
"Be a little more serious." Clearing her throat and trying to calm her racing heart, Mo Xiu whispered, before being kissed on the cheek by the person next to her.
Well, it seems like it's pointless for me to say anything.
"Baby, don't be so serious and tense. I just saw some unusual memories in my mind. It really makes me want to get close to you and hug you. You probably saw those images too, right?"
Upon hearing Mo Qi's question, Mo Xiu slowly nodded. Many unfamiliar fragments had flashed through his mind just now; it seemed they were directed at the two of them.
Although those scenes did not exist in their memories, Mo Xiu could deeply perceive the emotions that corresponded to each scene when it appeared.
Although it sounds absurd, he felt that those scenes must have actually happened.
So, could it be that they've been lovers for many lifetimes?
