Chuchu's heart skipped a beat. She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes flashing with anticipation and nervousness.
"Xiao Qian, he... he is Lie Yan? Are you sure?"
After returning to her sea of consciousness, Chuchu was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her intuition was right.
Tian Yi nodded, his tone firm, "Yes, Princess. Xiao Qian is Yan Lie. In the last battle, he was nearly wiped out. He worked hard to gather his soul consciousness and was reincarnated as Xiao Qian, a mortal. Born into a wealthy family, he now earns a good income and is very popular among young people."
"This guy is lucky. It was a good decision for him to go south this time. Maybe he can find Chi Yan." Chu Chu was actually a little excited, with mixed emotions in her heart.
In fact, she had always had a bad idea in her heart, thinking that Yan Lie had died long ago, but she didn't expect that he had always been in the human world, but just couldn't recognize her.
"So his current memory..." Chuchu's voice trembled a little, and he had obviously forgotten everything about his past in the underworld.
Tian Yi shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Princess Emperor, after Lie Yan reincarnated as Xiao Qian, his memory has been sealed. Restoring his memory will be extremely difficult."
"Why? You and I both have magic? Why can't we use magic to awaken his memory?" Chu Chu asked anxiously. She wanted to wake Yan Lie up as soon as possible.
Tian Yi explained, "His memory is sealed because his soul was severely damaged during his reincarnation. Even if we use magic to awaken his memory, he may not be able to withstand the shock of those memories, and it may even cause his soul to be damaged again."
Chuchu's heart sank to the bottom. She had never expected to face such a predicament. She had once thought that as long as she found Lieyan, she could regain the lost memories, but she had never expected reality to be so cruel.
However, Tian Yi hadn't finished speaking yet: "However, Princess Di, although restoring his memory is extremely difficult, it is not completely impossible. We can use some special methods to slowly guide him to recall the past."
"What method?" Chu Chu asked anxiously.
Tian Yi pondered for a moment and spoke slowly, "First, we need to find items or scenes related to Lie Yan. These items or scenes can awaken the memories deep within him."
Of course, there is also the dumbest method: "Unless he waits until his life span ends and wakes him up in the underworld."
"What would happen if we took him to the underworld now?" Chuchu thought of this.
"Empress, you know..."
"What would happen if we took him to the underworld now?" Chu Chu frowned, an indescribable impulse surging in her heart.
She knew very well that the underworld was very different from the human world and the rules there were completely different from those in the human world, but she still wanted to explore the possibilities.
Tian Yi's face darkened after hearing this. His voice was low and serious. "Princess Di, you know that the underworld is not the human world. The aura and laws there are completely different from those of the human world. If a mortal being is forcibly brought into the underworld, the result will inevitably be..."
"He will die." Chuchu took over Tianyi's words, her voice trembling slightly. Although this answer was cruel, Chuchu had already expected it.
"Yes, Princess," Tian Yi replied gravely. "You know full well that the underworld is a place of deep darkness, devoid of life for hundreds of thousands of years. A mortal body like ours cannot endure this. Once one enters the underworld, the flame of life will quickly extinguish, and they will eventually become a wandering soul."
Chuchu's heart felt as if it were weighed down by a huge rock. She couldn't imagine what kind of sorrow it would be if Lieyan, now Xiao Qian, really became a wandering soul.
How could she accept that one of his most loyal guards was now wandering in another world?
"What if we use the soul-guiding grass?" Chu Chu came up with another bold idea.
Soul-Guiding Grass is a rare spiritual herb in the underworld that has the ability to temporarily guide the souls of living beings into the underworld. This herb is not easy to obtain, and its use is extremely particular.
Chu Chu imagined that using the soul-guiding grass could temporarily lead Xiao Qian's soul into the underworld, allowing his soul to recover his past memories in the underworld.
After all, the breath of the underworld might be able to awaken his long-forgotten soul memories.
But this process is extremely risky and full of unknowns.
Soul grass itself is an extremely precious spiritual object that cannot be found easily.
Even if they found it, how to use it correctly would be a huge problem. If they were not careful, Xiao Qian's soul would be damaged, and he might even be unable to return to the human world forever.
Secondly, even if Xiao Qian’s soul is successfully introduced into the underworld, it is still unknown whether his memory can be restored.
Although the aura of the underworld might awaken his memory, it could also cause his soul to fall into a deeper state of confusion. Moreover, if his soul were harmed in the underworld, the consequences would be disastrous.
More importantly, this process requires the protection of a powerful individual. The underworld is rife with dangers, and even the slightest carelessness could lead to unforeseen consequences. Therefore, a sufficiently powerful individual is essential to ensure the safety of the entire process.
However, even with sufficient mana to guarantee this, there was still a crucial issue: Xiao Qian's own wishes. This process required Xiao Qian's consent, which was a dangerous process. Xiao Qian would not trust easily, and certainly would not take risks easily.
Tian Yi was deeply shocked by Chu Chu's proposal. An expression of disbelief crossed his face, and his tone was filled with worry and confusion. "Princess, your idea is truly audacious. The Soul-Guiding Grass is located at the bottom of the Hellfire of the Underworld. Even the Lord of Hell might not dare to set foot in that abyss, let alone how we could obtain it. Moreover, even if we had the Soul-Guiding Grass, how could we convince Xiao Qian to take such a risk? After all, he is only a mortal, and he may not be very interested in the affairs of past and present lives."
Chu Chu sighed deeply, a determined glint in her eyes. "Tian Yi, I know this plan is fraught with difficulties and risks. But I also know it's the only way for us to recover Lie Yan's memories. As for how to convince Xiao Qian, I'll first test his attitude towards past and present lives to see if he's interested in the subject."
She paused for a moment, gathering her thoughts, and continued, "If he's curious about his past life, then we have a chance of convincing him. We can tell him that through the Soul-Guiding Grass, he might be able to recover his lost memories and learn about his true identity and past. I think this would be an irresistible temptation for him."
Many humans find it easy to believe in past lives and present lives.
Tianyi thinks it is feasible.
Chu Chu smiled and said, "I seem to have offended him just now..."
