After passing through the bottom of the River Styx and enduring countless torments, one can reach the source of the underworld.
The water here is exceptionally clear and rich in spiritual energy. There are no traces of the agonizing screams and howls of the remnant souls tearing each other apart along the way. It's as if it's another world altogether.
On the fine white sand at the bottom of the river, a young girl lay quietly.
The girl seemed to be asleep, her long hair spread out beneath her. She was not wearing any clothes, but she was not afraid of being seen, because her whole body was illusory and transparent, barely resembling a human-shaped shadow, without any physical body at all.
Within the translucent shadow was a broken bow.
The water flowed gently, and her shadow swayed slightly, as if about to shatter, yet slowly solidifying.
As Xi walked over, blood flowed continuously from her body, staining the Yellow Springs water red.
Even though he was once the son of the Heavenly Emperor, and even though he had devoured the power of the Black Lotus, going against the flow of the Yellow Springs was not something he could easily handle.
Every drop of water from the Yellow Springs River is like a knife that slices flesh, drawing blood from his entire body. The pain will not lessen at all, and the wounds will never heal unless he leaves the Yellow Springs.
"Stop! You can't go any further! Sister Tong's soul is too fragile; it can't withstand the power contained in your blood. If it touches her, her soul will be injured again!"
A voice came from his Qiankun bag. Xi gritted his teeth and used all his strength to restrain himself from moving forward, while his eyes were still greedily fixed on the sleeping girl at the source of the Yellow Springs.
"So what's the point of you coming? You can only look, but you can't get close. Isn't that even more painful?"
Xi ignored the person who was speaking.
He opened his hand, and a small ray of light flew out and merged into the girl's body, instantly solidifying her body!
The voice was overjoyed: "Ah, you've found another fragment of Sister Tong's soul! Sister Tong can now enter reincarnation on her own and repair her own soul!"
A hint of warmth finally appeared on Xi's silent face.
The speaker was Wudang, a disciple of the Jie Sect back in the day, known throughout the prehistoric world for his cleverness.
She was the first to find a clue about how to resurrect someone whose soul had been scattered.
She was also trying to resurrect someone.
The two worked together, with Wudang sacrificing his immortal bones and spiritual power to create a plan, and Xi exhausting all the power she had absorbed during the war between the Lich King and the Lich King, finally succeeding in breaking through the barrier.
Xi Qing clearly remembered Wu Dang's carefully laid plans.
"This world is composed of three thousand minor worlds. My master and Sister A-Tong both perished in the Primordial Continent. The fragments of their souls that remained in the Primordial Continent have all been found by you and me, but this is not even one-tenth of what they had back then."
"But the heavens and earth always offered a glimmer of hope. The remaining fragments of the soul were too small, small enough to pass through the barrier of the three thousand worlds and fly to those smaller worlds to be reborn as humans."
"This life is a tribulation, in which you will encounter all kinds of difficulties and are very likely to die tragically. If you are lucky enough to survive this tribulation, your soul will be nurtured and can return to the primordial world to merge with your original body; if you fail to survive, then this remnant soul will completely disappear."
"If we tear through space to find them, save their lives, help them through this calamity, bring their remnant souls back, and merge them with their original bodies, once their original bodies have recovered sufficiently, they can enter reincarnation on their own, retaining memories from life after life, striving to overcome tribulations and collect soul fragments!"
Xi has lost count of how many worlds she has traveled through.
He has been to ancient times as a general, and to modern times as a businessman, doing business, and playing e-sports... He has been to many, many places, but he doesn't care about his experiences. He only remembers Ah Tong's every smile and frown.
She was once a clever and lively little queen, and also a hardworking and ambitious high school student. She once fought passionately for her beloved e-sports, and also...
She is forever the light, forever moving towards the light.
"Now, Sister A-Tong's soul power is almost restored! She can enter reincarnation on her own, retaining memories from life after life, to overcome tribulations and save herself!"
Xi's hands were trembling.
Ordinary people become more timid when they get close to their hometown, but for him, it was the people he was closer to who he was that made him more timid.
He had waited for far too many years, almost to the point of despair, until her power to resurrect her was within reach, yet he felt a sense of disbelief.
He whispered, "I'm going to be with her."
A-Dang was taken aback: "Things are different now. Sister A-Tong has recovered most of her knowledge, and your original immortal body is too strong for the small world to withstand."
"Then I will seal away all my power and memories, and search like a mortal, relying solely on instinct."
"—You, you're insane? Sealing her memories means you might never find her again, or you might encounter danger in the small world. How dare you abandon everything like this?!"
What is there that he wouldn't dare to do?
Why doesn't he dare?
Ah Dang was so desperate for him that he didn't even dare to venture into the small world to find her. He was just a mortal who had lost his strength. Even if he had to completely lose his power and start all over again, what did it matter as long as he could find Ah Tong?
Xi reached out, but through the clear waters of the Yellow Springs, he could not touch his beloved. However, being able to see her was already a blessing he had prayed for for thousands of years.
Wu Dang stamped his foot anxiously: "Whatever, I don't care if you get hurt or not, I'm just worried about Sister Atong. When Sister Atong first retained her memories, she thought she was just a mortal. Making her die and reincarnate again and again to undergo tribulations might be too much for her psychologically."
She frantically scratched her head, then suddenly her eyes lit up: "That's right! I read a lot of books in the mortal realm and just came up with an idea! Don't I have a spirit artifact? You can also raise some spirit artifacts. The spirit artifacts can disguise themselves as a 'system' and pretend to assign tasks to Sister A-Tong, making her think that she is possessing people who died tragically to save them?"
