"Are they really dead?" Xi Xingxue asked a second time in disbelief.
Xie Jiuchuan looked at Xi Xingxue's cracked expression and nodded heavily, but then he said...
"But perhaps... they still have a chance to be resurrected. Their souls have been broken into many small fragments, which I have preserved."
Xi Xingxue stood there silently, a shadow looming over his head, obscuring his facial expression.
His disciples were willing to give up everything to save him, but he stopped them later.
However, things returned to square one after he left.
Ultimately, they lost their lives for him in some sense.
Although Xi Xingxue found himself to be quite cold-hearted, because looking back on the past, his heart did not experience much emotional fluctuation because of these memories.
It was as if someone had erased his emotions; he suspected it was the system.
Because people experience too many emotions, they are gradually influenced, becoming cold-hearted and indifferent, numb to themselves, or filled with guilt, making it impossible for them to be ruthless anymore.
Both of these factors would affect the hosts' ability to travel through the world and complete missions, so he guessed that the system had erased a part of his emotions.
However, from a rational perspective, Xi Xingxue would not feel that this matter is unrelated to her.
"Then what method can be used to reunite their souls and bring them back to life?"
In the darkness, Xie Jiuchuan didn't want to just watch them disappear. After all, the three of them had fought to the death, but in the end, they still united and chose to place their power in his body.
“There is such a method, but it is very difficult…” Xie Jiuchuan murmured.
Xie Jiuchuan thought for a moment and then said, "Master, they left behind images. If possible, could you go back for a visit?"
Xi Xingxue remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Alright, I'll go back with you."
“First, we have to keep it from the system.” Xi Xingxue glanced around. “What method do you plan to use to conceal it from the system?”
Xie Jiuchuan said, "In addition to the teleportation array, I also cast a mental shield here, which successfully deceived your system."
Xi Xingxue was somewhat surprised, because in a sense, the system was not an immortal, but an AI.
But perhaps the creator of the system possesses many abilities similar to those of a god, which is why these divine methods are effective against it.
"Then we need to hurry."
Xi Xingxue lifted her foot and walked towards the side hall.
He was indeed wary of Xie Jiuchuan at first, but after learning the truth, he began to stand on the same side as Xie Jiuchuan and keep it a secret from the system.
Xie Jiuchuan had a deep-seated feeling that He Yan and Yin Yue could not die.
When people fall in love with someone, their selfishness is amplified, and they develop a strong possessiveness. Given such a good opportunity, they might even abandon morality and choose to ignore their two rivals.
Xie Jiuchuan felt that the reason for resurrecting them was not out of morality, but out of some vague sixth sense.
Xi Xingxue also felt, deep down, that the three of them were "very important" to her.
They exist in the same way, and are equally important.
He found it strange; they were clearly not the same person, so why did he have this thought?
The two entered the side hall together, where a teleportation array emitting a faint blue light came into view.
It consists of a huge circular mark, resembling a transparent six-pointed star.
Xi Xingxue stepped forward without hesitation, and Xie Jiuchuan's eyes flickered as he watched her move.
I felt a mix of joy and an unavoidable tightness in my heart. Was Master so anxious because he heard bad news about He Yan and Yin Yue?
Soon, the shadow of the six-pointed star began to rotate, and the teleportation array was being activated.
"Jiuchuan." Amidst the sky filled with a deep blue light, Xi Xingxue suddenly reached out and cupped Xie Jiuchuan's face, her gaze meeting his: "How many years has it been since we last met?"
His concept of time is very weak, but it must be quite strong for others.
Xie Jiuchuan lowered her eyelids, her beautiful phoenix eyes looking straight at him, revealing a hint of tenderness.
"It's only a little over a hundred years, Master, it'll be over in the blink of an eye."
Xi Xingxue was slightly taken aback.
More than a hundred years?
It seems that time is different from him.
When all the six-pointed stars on the teleportation array light up, the teleportation array will be successfully activated.
However, at that moment, one of Xi Xingxue's men suddenly went limp and almost fell over. Xi Xingxue quickly supported his shoulder.
Upon closer inspection, he appeared to have his eyes tightly closed, as if he had lost his breath.
The teleportation array beneath their feet suddenly stopped rotating, and its eerie blue light faded completely.
Xi Xingxue was shocked: "Xie Jiuchuan?!"
"......"
Qi Jinzhao slowly opened his eyes. He blinked to dispel the dryness and looked at Xi Xingxue.
"His name is Xie Jiuchuan?"
Xi Xingxue hugged him, her body trembled, Xie Jiuchuan was gone?
Is this... the real Qi Jinzhao?
"Where did he go?" Xi Xingxue asked.
Qi Jinzhao noticed that Xi Xingxue was still holding him, and he was clearly very nervous about the person who had previously occupied his body.
After a moment of silence, she said in a somewhat bitter voice, "Don't look for someone else through my body. I don't know him at all. He's the one who's taken over my body."
Xi Xingxue released her grip and took two steps back.
Looking down, one could see that all the teleportation arrays on the ground had lost their light, with only a few array stones lying forlornly on the ground.
System: "Buzz...Buzz...Signal connection in progress."
A series of static crackling sounds came through the crack, and Xi Xingxue finally understood what was going on.
It seems that the system immediately began various repairs after realizing it had been blocked, and returned at the crucial moment, forcing Xie Jiuchuan to leave.
If the system detects this situation, can Xie Jiuchuan still come back?
Xi Xingxue narrowed his eyes. It seemed he had no choice but to fight against the system.
System: "Host, I'm back. What happened? Has something invaded our world?"
The system's words carried a hint that it also suspected the people from the first world had come looking for them.
Because they are immortals, and also gods; gods who have cultivated to the extreme will possess this ability.
Xi Xingxue said, "No, I think you need to have it checked. I've been here with Qi Jinzhao without any problems.
System: "Oh... okay."
Ignoring Qi Jinzhao's complicated and unspeakable gaze, Xi Xingxue hurriedly returned home.
After returning home, it took him a long time to activate the system.
System: "Master, you can tell me the truth now. My supervisor has left."
Xi Xingxue thought to herself: Just as I expected.
He guessed that the system's superiors had been monitoring them, but luckily he was quick-witted.
"System, let me ask you, points can be redeemed for anything, right?"
System: "Yes."
"Can I exchange points to go back to the previous world? Does it require a lot of points?"
Xi Xingxue felt he had to go back and check, but he couldn't use up too many of his points, since he still needed them to revive the entire nation.
