Chuchu's incantation echoed in the air, carrying an invincible and mysterious power. The red glow surrounding her was like the rising morning glow, warm and full of hope. As the light gradually spread, the massive shadow that had once shrouded the surroundings seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, eventually transforming into fine grains of yellow sand, gently falling on the dry earth, leaving behind subtle but firm changes.
"Zhu Zhu, be brave. Stand up. The shadows of the past are only temporary. Let me use this strength to transform this desert into an oasis, a haven for your soul." Chu Chu's voice was gentle yet firm, her eyes filled with encouragement and determination. Zhu Zhu looked up, her tearful eyes glinting with the image of Chu Chu, and the faintly azure Qingming Sword in her hand. But even more surprising was the pair of transparent wings that slowly unfolded from behind her, like a descending angel, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Sister, are you...are you Princess Qingming? I've seen the description of that sword, but why does your appearance look so different?" Zhu Zhu's voice trembled a little, with shock and a hint of barely perceptible expectation.
Chu Chu chuckled and shook her head. "The name is just a code name. What's important is that I'm standing here right now to help you. It doesn't matter who I am. The key is that I have the ability and the willingness to take you to a place without the haze."
Zhu Zhu's eyes became moist again, and she choked up and said, "But I'm so lonely. I feel like I've been abandoned by the whole world."
Chuchu felt a surge of warmth at this. She gently raised her hand and tapped her fingertips, as if speaking to an invisible force. In an instant, the once desolate landscape began to undergo a dramatic transformation. Grasslands spread at a visible pace, their vibrant green hues brimming with life, like nature's most sincere embrace. A gurgling stream, crystal clear, was bathed in the water, and a few adorable ducklings leisurely swam within, adding a touch of life to the tranquil scene.
Just as Zhu Zhu was immersed in this sudden beauty, a little boy quietly appeared not far away. His smile was pure and innocent. It was none other than the Chen Cheng in Zhu Zhu's memory, the one who always gave her warmth. The boy's sudden appearance surprised and puzzled Zhu Zhu, and Chu Chu was equally puzzled, because she clearly remembered that Chen Cheng's soul was still in the underworld, awaiting reincarnation.
"Chen Cheng?" Chuchu called softly, her eyes full of confusion. Upon hearing this, the boy's parents hurried forward, their eyes also filled with surprise and gratitude.
"Princess Di, you still remember us? That's wonderful!" Chen Cheng's father said excitedly, "It was you who summoned us here with your divine power. Although we don't know the specific reason, we can feel that Zhu Zhu needs us."
Chu Chu frowned upon hearing this. She had never before experienced such a thing, let alone imagined that she could summon the souls of the deceased to travel through time and space. She once again examined the three people, trying to find the answer from them.
"But, this is impossible..." Chu Chu murmured to herself. She knew the rules of the underworld very well. Once a soul drinks Meng Po soup, it will forget everything in its past life, unless there are special circumstances.
She asked seriously, "Why haven't you been reincarnated? And why can you remember your past lives? Chen Cheng's soul should still be in the underworld..."
Chu Chu became serious, "I'll ask again, what on earth are you?"
Chen Cheng's mother gently explained, "We didn't come here naturally, but rather were transported by some force we cannot fully understand. Zhu Zhu's heart's calling was too strong. We felt her loneliness and despair, and we desperately wanted to be with her. As for why we remember, perhaps it's because this obsession is so deep that even time cannot erase it."
No, that's impossible!
Chuchu began to perform a ritual, trying to find out what the three people were, but unexpectedly, in an instant, the three people suddenly turned into monsters, the likes of which Chuchu had never seen before.
"Sure enough, you are not Chen Cheng's family!"
The war started immediately. The pitiful Zhu Zhu hid in the corner, crying and feeling extremely helpless.
The oasis that had once been transformed into a barren desert in an instant.
As the cold light of the Qingming Sword cut through the sky, a sharp sword intent instantly filled the entire sea of consciousness. The barren desert seemed to be stirred by this power, causing layers of invisible ripples to appear.
Facing Chuchu's sudden attack, the three monsters were not afraid at all. Instead, they each showed a more bizarre and changeable form.
The first monster, like a ghost in the dark night, its skin shone with a faint blue light, and its limbs transformed into slender, sharp tentacles. It darted through the air, attempting to entangle Chuchu from every angle. Its movements were as fast as lightning, and each attack passed closely along Chuchu's sword, leaving a trail of tiny sparks.
The second one transformed into a huge lava monster, its body covered in boiling flames. Every step it took was accompanied by the trembling of the ground and the gushing of magma.
It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a blazing ball of fire, attempting to engulf Chuchu in the sea of fire. The ball of fire drew fiery trails in the air, burning and distorting the surrounding air.
The third was the most mysterious. It seemed composed of countless flowing shadows, devoid of fixed form. Sometimes it transformed into a sharp blade, sometimes into a flexible rope, its trajectory unpredictable with each attack. It seemed to be able to read Chuchu's thoughts, always appearing in her most vulnerable spot before she could react.
Facing these three powerful opponents, Chu Chu didn't flinch. She gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing. The Qingming Sword seemed to come alive in her hands, its every swing accompanied by a whirring sound that resounded throughout her sea of consciousness.
