"Su Nian's life has been one of constant upheaval. The Ghost Emperor, Leng Xingchen, the Human Emperor, Yama... every one of his enemies is a king in the world. Not to mention the Heavenly Dao that rules everything behind them. No matter how much he struggles in the cycle of reincarnation, he can never escape the endless prison of death. The endless cycle of reincarnation will only continue to erode his will, and finally, at the end of a certain cycle, he will end his life." In the secret realm of the Reincarnation Demon Clan, Gong Lengxue looked at the pitch-black Three Lives Stone in front of her and said this to Su Liuli.
Su Liuli asked unwillingly, "But in this life he has cleared his name and taught Ye Hua a lesson. Even so... can't he have a good ending?"
Gong Lengxue shook her head. "The Heavenly Dao uses all things as a chess piece. The fate of all living beings is nothing more than a script in His hands. In the battle of the Holy Radiance Sect, Su Nian exposed Ye Hua's true face behind his mask. It seemed that everything had finally ushered in a good beginning, but in reality... this was just a withered tree blooming again. Even if there is a brief period of beauty, there will eventually be an end..."
"How could this be... Could it be that even after a hundred reincarnations, Nian'er is still unable to escape the cycle of fate?"
Su Liuli recalled that bright night, and Su Nian's heartfelt shout of anger.
"I've reincarnated a hundred times to get this result, what's the point of you trying to change it?! Can you please stop doing meaningless things? I'm exhausted! I don't want to continue reincarnating!"
Faced with Su Nian's loud questioning, Su Liuli felt that the softest part of her heart had been touched.
Was Su Nian angry?
certainly.
But deep within his angry eyes, Su Liuli saw a deeper layer of emotion.
That was... a plea made in despair.
He begged her not to do anything foolish.
At the same time, she was praying to herself... not to fall into the cycle of reincarnation again.
Nearly a hundred lifetimes of wandering and vicissitudes finally brought about a lifetime of peace, and that almost forgotten warmth became the lifeline he grasped.
At the beginning of this cycle of reincarnation, he gave up everything.
But it was this act of giving up that changed everything.
The most obvious change is that Su Nian has regained her spirits.
He defeated Ye Hua and repelled the Heavenly Dao's powerful lightning; everything seemed to be developing in a positive direction.
But what if, at this moment, his life ended again, and he started all over again in an absurd way?
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the 101st cycle of reincarnation. He discovered that in the next cycle, he once again chose to believe Ye Hua and drove him out of Quanxiu.
What if all of this... is just a fleeting moment of beauty in despair, after which one rallies and falls back into the mire, struggling... struggling... struggling... an endless struggle! And finally, in utter despair, one dies in the cycle of reincarnation?
In a daze, Su Liuli seemed to understand her mission.
She slowly reached out to touch the Three Lives Stone.
The Three Lives Stone emitted a dazzling light, as if it were responding to Su Liuli.
"Have you made up your mind, Su Liuli?" Gong Lengxue glanced sideways, the seven-colored light reflecting off her profile.
She looked at Su Liuli, her eyes filled with seriousness.
"Once you choose the Three Lives Stone, you will be trapped in the endless cycle of reincarnation woven by the Heavenly Dao for Su Nian. Everything will change because you touch this Three Lives Stone. You will struggle in the endless cycle of reincarnation, just like him. This process is far more difficult than you can imagine! It may even cause you to have a mental breakdown!"
Su Liuli smiled gently.
She smiled and said slowly in a very calm tone, "Nian'er has gone through the same struggle a hundred times, hasn't she?"
Gong Lengxue remained silent.
“He went through a hundred reincarnations to bring me back to my senses. As his master, how could I be worthy of the title of master if I abandoned my disciple?”
Memories flow, and the past resurfaces.
She would never forget the day when young Su Nian took the initiative to suggest that she wanted to move down the mountain.
Looking at the boy who was barely up to her chest, she patted his head and asked, "Nian'er, why are you so determined to move down the mountain?"
Young Su Nian raised his head, and in his eyes as he looked at Su Liuli, there was a sense of responsibility that did not belong to a child. "Because Nian'er is already ten years old, Nian'er has grown up, and Nian'er has to protect Master's reputation! Nian'er is the only male disciple in the entire Xiu, and Master is so beautiful. If Nian'er continues to stay, people at the foot of the mountain will gossip about him!"
Su Liuli smiled gently and playfully touched Su Nian's nose.
"You're young but wise; our teacher-student relationship is like that of a mother and child. Our hearts are as clear as a mirror, so why should we fear the gossip of others?"
Young Su Nian blinked in confusion, "Doesn't Master care?"
Su Liuli smiled faintly, "Your master has been cultivating in peace for many years, how could I be affected by such rumors?"
"But I care!"
The image of young Su Nian's stubborn and earnest expression flashed through her mind; she would never forget that moment.
The golden afterglow fell on the top of Liuli Mountain, illuminating young Su Nian's cheeks.
Su Liuli stared blankly at the earnest child, listening to his heartfelt words.
"It was Master who brought Nian'er back and raised her! Nian'er's life was also given by Master! Master will always occupy the most important place in Nian'er's heart! The kindness of raising her is greater than the heavens, no matter if it's ten years... a hundred years... or even a thousand years later! Nian'er will protect Master well!"
Taking a deep breath, the young Su Nian said firmly, "Therefore, no matter what happens, Nian'er will never allow Master's reputation to be dishonored!"
Su Liuli was lost in thought at that moment.
She saw in the eyes of a young child a sense of responsibility that did not belong to that age.
