Chu Nian laughed angrily and retorted, "You still recognize me as your master?!"
Bai Ze knelt even lower, repeatedly pleading, "Master, spare my life! Master, forgive me!"
Chu Nian looked into the depths behind the many doors and said, "You encouraged Xiao Linzi to build this underworld, and to make him lose his memory every six thousand years, so that he would be willing to be trapped here forever, right?"
Bai Ze said, "Lin Jingting was born into this world and was influenced by the world's initial setting. His life was not long. It was the appearance of the master that brought a turning point to his fate. But, it was only a turning point."
The cycle of Heaven has begun. His initial path of cultivation absorbed countless souls, creating profound sins. To completely escape the future of death and soul dissipation, he can only accumulate merit.
"Master, although I did point him to this path, his ultimate choice to walk it was his own, not something I coerced him into doing."
Chu Nian thought about Lin Jingting's long path of cultivation, and realized that he had indeed committed many sins. No one can escape the laws of Heaven, and there are laws governing rewards and punishments, which even she could not escape.
She said, "Where is Lin Jingting? Since he used magic to pull me out of Wang Xinrui's world and send me to the divine realm where I originally lived, he must be in a conscious state with memories of all his past lives."
Bai Ze said, "His plan to extract you from that world under certain conditions and send you to the God Realm, while sealing the passage between the God Realm and the worlds in these books, was something he set up when he first established the Underworld. Now that you are no longer in his memories, are you sure you still want to appear in his life and memories?"
“Uh…” Chu Nian was a little hesitant. Actually, for Lin Jingting, forgetting her was a good choice, but when she thought about Lin Jingting being trapped in the underworld forever, she couldn’t bear it and said, “If he is trapped in the underworld forever, busy without stopping, living like a slave.”
Bai Ze: "But at the same time, he also gained the respect of all people, countless merits, and thus countless years of life. If it were according to his original fate, he would have vanished long ago. Master, you should understand that there is rarely a way to have it all in this world. If you want to get something, you must pay a certain price."
Chu Nian said helplessly, "But all this resentment from the pen knife is because of me. Lin Jingting is clearly taking the blame for me."
Bai Ze: "You're really overthinking it. The tribulations in his own destiny were resolved by creating the Underworld and establishing a new order. Otherwise, why do you think he was able to live so long in the mortal world and have met you so many times?"
His luck was exhausted when he was a ghost immortal devouring living souls, leading him to his doom. Therefore, after the book about ghost immortals, even if he doesn't perish, he will definitely be a villain hated by everyone.
However, the path he actually followed was not like that. It was because he established the Underworld, accumulating merit and rekindling his fortune.
Chu Nian frowned and said quietly, "He established the Underworld many years after the book 'Ghost Immortal,' and in all the worlds I've traveled to over the years, I haven't been able to open the Underworld with the Boundary Stone, which means the Underworld didn't exist at that time. How could the merit gained from establishing the Underworld in the future increase his fortune from thousands of years ago?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something was amiss and said, "Could it be that he chose to establish the Underworld at the very beginning of all things?" Lin Jingting possessed a time machine, allowing him to travel to the past. It was possible for him to use the time machine to travel to before the beginning of all things and establish the Underworld then.
"But," Chu Nian asked suspiciously, "why can't I open the Netherworld with the Boundary Stone?"
Bai Ze: "Because the molds of those boundary stones you refined were originally unable to open the gates of the underworld in the 'past' time period."
"Tch!" Chu Nian rolled her eyes.
Bai Ze: "Since he wants to increase his own merits, he naturally won't do anything that goes against the way of Heaven. But to connect with the 'past' through the laws of time and space and thereby change what should have happened, that is not in accordance with the way of Heaven."
Chu Nian pondered and said, "But when I traveled through time, the timeline was very convoluted, and I traveled to the 'past' several times."
Bai Ze: "Your time travel is controlled by the Heavenly Dao itself, so whether you travel to the past, present, or future, you cannot go against the Heavenly Dao."
Chu Nian sighed softly, "Are we really going to let Lin Jingting stay trapped here forever?" She paused, then added, "What about Lou Qianzong?"
"Ha!" Bai Ze laughed upon hearing this. "You don't need to worry about Xiao Lin at all, unless you want to take him back and make him your heart."
Chu Nian: "I don't have that idea."
Bai Ze: "That's it! He has attained enlightenment, successfully broken through the gates of the underworld, and come to find Lin Jingting."
Chu Nian was surprised and asked in a low voice, "Is he inside now?"
Bai Ze: "Yes." He paused, then added, "He's almost taken half of the enormous dragon throne that Lin Jingting, the Northern Emperor, possessed. He's always glued to Lin Jingting, and I can feel the sweetness in his heart just by looking at him."
Chu Nian raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I'll go in and take a look!" After saying that, she cast a spell to hide herself completely.
If Lin Jingting and Lou Qianzong could get together like before and look after each other, then she wouldn't have to worry too much about Lin Jingting—Lou Qianzong would never let him work so hard on his own.
Therefore, she can come quietly and leave quietly.
Inside the main hall, behind the desk, on a large, wide chair, Lin Jingting was engrossed in his work. However, there was someone else beside him—Lou Qianzong, who was facing away from the desk, his long legs draped over the armrests, his body leaning against Lin Jingting, fast asleep.
