Su Qiyuan seemed a little stunned by my question. He didn't understand what I meant by "time travel".
After a moment's silence, his eyes became distant, as if lost in memories, and he slowly told me about the deal he had made with the system.
"Ten thousand years ago, my junior sister and I cultivated together, going through countless hardships and dangers, and finally we both became Immortal Emperors. Our strength is beyond compare, and we are also well-known in this world.
At that time, we had reached the critical period of promotion to become gods, and we were just waiting for an opportunity to ascend to the realm of gods and start a new chapter.
However, what I didn't expect was that my junior brother was wholeheartedly in love with my junior sister.
Then he developed resentment and secretly planned to attack me by surprise when my junior sister and I were preparing to ascend to the divine realm.
Su Qiyuan's voice was low and hoarse, and his eyes flashed with anger and pain.
"That junior brother has always been in love with my junior sister and has long held a grudge against me as his senior brother.
He wanted to replace my position in Junior Sister's heart and live with her after I was injured.
How could I tolerate his behavior? So I started a fierce life-and-death struggle with him.
That battle was truly thrilling. The sky and the earth changed color. It lasted for three days and three nights. We both tried our best and refused to give in to each other.
Su Qiyuan's hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and his body trembled slightly, as if he was back in the tragic battlefield.
"Junior sister is kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see us killing each other, so she tried to stop us.
But the moment I stopped, my junior brother took the opportunity to unleash his strongest attack, striking me while I was completely defenseless."
Having said this, Su Qiyuan's voice stopped abruptly, and his face showed an expression of extreme pain and regret, and he paused for a moment.
He went on to say, "To save me, Junior Sister stepped forward without hesitation and blocked the fatal blow for me.
I watched helplessly as my junior sister's body dissipated before my eyes, her soul shattered, and I was powerless to do anything.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and my junior brother and I were stunned by this sudden change.
My junior sister lost her soul in front of me. At that moment, endless grief and deep self-blame overwhelmed me like a surging tide.
The rage in my heart burned to the extreme, and I wished I could cut my junior brother into pieces immediately.
But no matter how angry I was, my junior sister had left me forever and would never come back.
In grief, I attacked my junior brother frantically without hesitation, pouring all my strength and hatred into every move.
However, at this moment, my junior fellow apprentice seemed to have lost his soul, his heart was dead, and he ignored my violent attacks. He just stood there blankly, his eyes empty and desperate.
When I saw him like this, the hatred in my heart actually loosened a little, and the attack in my hands gradually slowed down. In the end, I still couldn't bring myself to make the final ruthless move.
After my junior sister left, I was like a walking corpse, searching every corner of the world of immortal cultivation, asking around for ways to resurrect her.
I visited the entire world of immortal cultivation and consulted one powerful person after another, but every time I went there with hope, I always returned disappointed and gained nothing.
During this long and desperate process, my heart was gradually shrouded in darkness and I felt as if I had lost all hope.
I just felt that there was nothing left in this world, so I wanted to end it all and put an end to this endless pain.
Just as I was about to end my life, I suddenly heard the sound of fierce fighting in the sky.
I didn't care about these things and just wanted to die, but at this moment, a monk covered in blood suddenly fell from the sky and lay dying at my feet.
I just glanced at him indifferently. At that moment, my heart was filled with sorrow. I didn't care about other people's lives. I just wanted to end my own painful life.
However, at this critical moment, an emotionless, cold voice urgently rang in my ears: "I know you want to find a way to revive your sister."
Please help me stop the people coming and don’t hurt the dying person underground.
This voice was like a ray of light, instantly penetrating the darkness in my heart.
When I heard the voice saying that my junior sister could be resurrected, my dead heart suddenly brightened up, as if I had grabbed the last straw.
Without hesitation, I activated my spiritual power and attacked those people chasing me in the sky. I quickly drove them all away.
Seeing that the danger was over, the voice sounded faintly in my ear again: "This system keeps its word, but you will have to pay a heavy price. Are you willing?"
At this moment, my heart was full of hope that my junior sister could be resurrected, so I agreed without thinking.
The voice continued, "This is what happened. The host of this system in this world is dying, and the system's energy is almost exhausted."
If this continues, this system will disappear from this world and will not be able to return to the host.
I frowned, not understanding what these strange words it said meant.
Then, the system said mercilessly: "Are you willing to give up the cultivation of the late emperor to help me escape from this world of immortal cultivation?"
In this case, I will bring your sister back, but it will take a while, can you wait?"
After hearing what the system said, my eyes revealed an unwavering determination, and I said without hesitation, "As long as Junior Sister can come back, I can wait no matter how long it takes."
So, according to the system's requirements, I peeled off the emperor's cultivation that I had worked hard to gain bit by bit, and gave it all to the mysterious system.
At that moment, I just hoped that it would keep its promise and bring my junior sister back.
At the last moment when my cultivation was exhausted, I used up my last bit of strength and used the power of origin to preserve my original heart.
He carefully placed the last clone in the Book of the Great Dao, and then fell into a long sleep that lasted for thousands of years.
"Alas," Su Qiyuan sighed slightly, his eyes full of vicissitudes of life, "Thinking back then, if I were still the late emperor, I could crush anything like that ghost hand in the woods with just a slight raise of my hand."
Unfortunately, now, in order to recover my strength as quickly as possible, I forced a breakthrough, and my current cultivation level is just enough to stabilize the Immortal Mirror. Compared with the past, it is really a world of difference.
I listened quietly to Su Qiyuan's story, my heart was full of ups and downs.
I am moved by his deep affection for his junior sister, but also feel sad for his perseverance and dedication for thousands of years.
"Su Qiyuan, it has not been easy for you along the way." I said softly, my eyes full of sympathy and admiration.
At the same time, I thought of my own system, and suddenly felt confused and uneasy.
