After breaking free of its seal, it lay dormant for hundreds of years before finally finding the opportunity to kill the group that had slaughtered Huan Yue. During this hundred years, it also continued to collect the shattered souls of Huan Yue.
In the process, it gave itself a name—Phantom Moon.
But no matter how hard he searched, Huan Yue's soul was always missing a small piece, which caused Huan Yue to not live long each time she was reborn. Ling Ji's life was the longest.
However, Lingji's lifespan is also nearing its end.
Ling Ji no longer wanted to live. Each of his rebirths, just as Huan Yue had said before, was like tearing his heart out.
The art of rebirth is inherently defying the heavens. Each of his rebirths is induced by Huan Yue using her own essence and blood. But that alone is not enough; a living soul is also required.
Therefore, each of his rebirths was achieved by treading on mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He had had enough of this endless cycle of rebirth, and it was time for everything to end.
He came here intending to perish together with Huan Yue, but things have changed because of Hua and their appearance.
Now that he has the opportunity to make amends for some of the bloodshed caused by Huan Yue, he is willing to do so.
"Huan Yue, the Six Realms need us now. Our priority is to resolve the immediate issue. We can settle things properly after everything is over, okay?"
Huan Yue smiled bitterly: "You're still the same. You can't even lie properly. Are you planning to take my life after this is all over? Do you really want me dead that badly?"
Huan Yue bluntly exposed Ling Ji's plan.
Ling Ji looked at Huan Yue with a serious expression and said, word by word, "I will stay with you."
Ling Ji did not deny it, but it was true that he would die with Huan Yue. Huan Yue had committed so many atrocities for his sake, and he could not pretend that he knew nothing and live on in the world.
Huan Yue stared intently at Ling Ji, and after a long while, she seemed to give in and sighed softly, "Alright."
After the two reached a consensus, Huan Yue slowly shed her human form and transformed into two pupils that were embedded in Ling Ji's eye sockets.
This process was painful. The fusion of Huan Yue and Ling Ji first required the removal of Ling Ji's original pupils. In addition, since Ling Ji's body was not the original one, it was difficult to fuse with it for a while.
Blood kept flowing from Ling Ji's eyes, and the gushing blood was particularly noticeable on Ling Ji's white robe. During this process, Ling Ji's appearance gradually changed and returned to his original appearance.
Having regained his original appearance, Ling Ji possessed more humanity than the previously manifested Huan Yue. He was gentle and refined, carrying the weight of years of experience from multiple rebirths.
"Phantom Moon, you are so beautiful."
Ling Ji, no, it should be Huan Yue, whose mind was connected to Shuang Tong after their fusion, was neither annoyed nor angry upon hearing this, so he could only pretend not to hear it.
"Crack." The sound of the barrier breaking rang out.
It's finally done!
Everyone stared at Huan Yue, who had just emerged. Seeing that only Huan Yue was present, Hua hesitated and asked, "Are you Ling Ji? Or Huan Yue?"
"I am Huan Yue." Ling Ji never existed. Although he didn't want to admit it before, it is undeniable that he is Huan Yue, and he has always been Huan Yue.
When everyone heard him say this and saw his white eyes, they knew that the matter was settled.
"Huan Yue, thank you," Hua Zhen said sincerely. Without him, their trip wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
"You flatter me, young lady."
