Lingyao took the translated diary from Yin Ming's hand and quickly flipped through it, as if searching for something.
A moment later, he handed the translation back to Yin Ming and gestured for him to look at one of the passages.
Yin Ming peered over for a closer look, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
This passage likely refers to what the author of the original work meant when he said, "Everything he said was correct."
The author learned from that mysterious person that the First Emperor had died when he failed to transcend his tribulation.
Its flesh and blood will decompose into a large amount of spiritual energy to nourish the magical beasts of the entire No Return Mountain, allowing them to advance their cultivation levels.
The extraordinary phenomenon of overflowing spiritual energy will attract the attention of both the gods and demons, causing them to discover each other's existence.
The subsequent conflict between the two sides over the remains left behind by the Ancestral Dragon led to the outbreak of the War of Gods and Demons.
Just as they were about to suffer heavy losses, the remains of the Ancestral Dragon transformed into the Boundless Crossing Sea, separating the gods and demons on two continents and restoring peace and tranquility to the world.
The beasts in the Mountain of No Return had previously been nourished by the spiritual energy of the Ancestral Dragon, which enabled them to protect themselves in the war between gods and demons, preventing them from falling into their current predicament of living in a remote corner and barely surviving.
Once the Boundless Sea appears, they will continue to live carefree in the separated Forbidden Forest...
This passage means that if it weren't for the original author, the world would have long since returned to a peaceful state. It's all because the original author took over the body of the Ancestral Dragon that this series of disasters occurred.
The so-called "matching" probably means that the author compared the original work with the settings in the original novel and believed that it did indeed conform to the original development of the plot.

I was wondering before why the Forbidden Forest was called the Mountain of No Return, and why there was no Sea of No Return around it as it was supposed to be. Turns out... it was all my fault.
It was because of my appearance that the world order changed; I am truly... doubly guilty.
Now that we know the problem and the solution, what is there to hesitate about?
Anyway, I wasn't originally from this world, so this period of time is essentially something I stole.
Since it was stolen, it will have to be returned eventually. Now, as long as I return everything, everything can be back on track... Such a worthwhile deal, why not?
I can't just shamelessly cling to life and let Liuying continue to bear these responsibilities for me... I really don't want her to take on anything for me anymore.
Moreover... the situation within the barrier can no longer be delayed; they cannot wait until the day when the Fireflies and the Mountain of No Return are completely merged.
But... fireflies...
How can I tell her about the decision I've made?
What will her reaction be when she finds out? Will she feel a little reluctant to part with me?
She must be sad. I've seen her smile and her tears. Although she is a mountain spirit, she can empathize with all things in the world, know the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and understand the seven emotions and six desires.
We've been through so much together, how could she not be sad about my departure...?
But thankfully... her life will be as eternal and enduring as Mount No Return.
To her, I was nothing more than a fleeting moment in the long river of history.
So, one day, she'll forget me, won't she?
Even if she feels sad, she will gradually forget those feelings as time goes by.
By then, she probably won't be sad anymore.
This is fine.
As long as she can be happier in the future than she is now, what does it matter if she forgets me?
Haha... What am I thinking? Of course she'd be happier than she is now...
What situation could be worse than this...?
I just hope that from now on, nothing will ever hurt her again.
No... No Return Mountain... Forbidden Forest...
I just remembered that in the story I wrote, the male protagonist will remove the Forbidden Forest later on... What will happen to Liu Ying then?
The Forbidden Forest has disappeared; will she vanish with it?
No, I have to remind her...

Yin Ming's eye twitched violently. He never expected that his previous guess would be confirmed in the original author's diary.
He clearly didn't want Liu Ying to get hurt, which is why he reminded her to strike first when she encountered Ling Yao.
Yin Ming cautiously turned his head to look at Ling Yao, wondering how Ling Yao would feel seeing his creator abandon him in just a few words.
"Ah Yao... are you alright?"
Yin Ming's tone clearly implied a probing intent.
The character is abandoned and betrayed by everyone, and even the original author abandoned him for someone else... Just thinking about it makes Yin Ming feel sad for him.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Lingyao slightly curled the corners of his lips.
"Don't worry, Yin Ming, I won't feel anything."
"Putting myself in his shoes, I would have made the same choice. Since I understand him, I naturally won't blame him."
Lingyao reached out and stroked Yin Ming's black hair, her eyes softening with tenderness.
"Besides, I still have Yin Ming. I know Yin Ming will never give up on me... So what does it matter how others see me? Their actions will naturally not affect my mood."
"That's good." As long as you're not sad.
Knowing he had been overthinking things, Yin Ming breathed a sigh of relief, gently patted Ling Yao's hand, and continued to turn to the next page of the translation.

That person really did lie to me... There was no such thing as turning into the sea with one's own body... The purpose of his deception was simply that he couldn't tolerate the existence of someone like me on the continent of gods and demons.
But... with his methods, he could have easily taken my life, yet for some reason, he went to great lengths to persuade me to commit suicide.
But whatever the reason, I'm grateful that he was willing to let me live a few more days so that I could say a proper goodbye to Liuying...
I have witnessed his power, so I believe he truly has the ability to set things right.
Since that's the case, let's just lie to them.
Now that things have come to this, there's no point in dwelling on it too much. As long as he keeps his word, I... will die without regrets.
It's a pity I can't tell Ying the truth. I can only tell her that I'm leaving this place.
I hope that while I'm gone, she can take good care of herself and live a good life...
She asked me if I would come back? Would we have a chance to see each other again?
Seeing her eyes instantly redden, I knew my earlier guess was right... she really would be sad.
I really wanted to say I wasn't leaving... but I couldn't.
I don't know what will happen to me after I die.
Will they return to the real world and continue their previous lives? Or will they be reborn in a different body on the continent of gods and demons? Or... will they simply vanish into thin air?
What I'm certain of is that even if I were to be resurrected in a different body, I would still be unable to escape death if that person were to notice me again...
Of the other two options, there is no possibility that I will ever see her again.
So the answer to this question should be no.
But I still told her that perhaps one day we would meet again.
I know that what I said might cause her to misunderstand something, and then she might start to miss me and wait for my return.
But... what good is leaving her with a little hope? At least with the expectation of meeting again, she won't be too sad, and she won't... forget me too quickly.
So...
Let me be selfish one last time...
