Shen Sanruo slowly opened her eyes, looking at the thatched roof above her head, her expression momentarily dazed.
What is she doing...?
Undeterred, I closed my eyes, then opened them again, and the scene before me was still thatched roof.
Her heart seemed to have died a little.
Images of her before she fell into a coma flashed through my mind:
Lingxiao Zhenren could not hold on any longer, and his body exploded like a rubber ball, turning into countless pieces of corpses.
She staggered and fell down. Immortal Lord Changli, Immortal Princess Qingluan, and her senior brothers and sisters looked panicked and rushed towards her, shouting in unison.
"No way..." Her voice was tinged with disbelief.
If she still couldn't figure out what had happened by now, she could take her head off and kick it like a football.
Good news: Lingxiao Zhenren failed to reverse time.
Bad news: it seems that Master Lingxiao has successfully reversed her timeline.
Where did this come from?
She looked at the thatched roof, but had no recollection of it, and her eyes were slightly confused.
Fortunately, the best news is that she still has all her memories.
If her timeline were reversed, in which period of the past would she be in right now?
This scene seems to be absent from her memory.
Just as she was struggling to get up, another middle-aged woman's voice rang out from inside the room.
"Oh dear, fairy, you're awake! Don't move, let me help you up!"
A woman dressed as a village woman appeared in her field of vision and helped her up.
She then realized that she seemed to have injuries on her body.
The woman looked at her, her eyes already red with tears. "If it weren't for the fairy's intervention to rid our village of that mad beast, we would all probably be its prey."
"The fairy suffered such serious injuries to save us and was unconscious for several days. She only woke up today. We were truly terrified."
"Thank God, you've woken up!" The woman clasped her hands together, her eyes filled with piety.
It was as if she had been praying for her in this way throughout the time she was unconscious.
"These are the best herbs we can find in our village. I'll feed them to the fairy first. The village chief has already gone to a nearby sect and will surely obtain some miraculous medicine to heal the fairy's injuries!"
Listening to the woman's words, Shen Sanruo finally had some recollection of this memory.
She also examined her own body and the mixed spiritual roots in her dantian told her that the current time point was her past life.
That is, her first incarnation after her divine soul was created.
Her expression turned strange. She had thought she had gone back to the past, but she never expected that she would go back to such a distant past.
At this moment, it has been at least several hundred years since the point in time before she reversed time.
She didn't faint from being too relaxed; rather, it was Master Lingxiao who used all his strength to bring her here.
Shen Sangruo: ...
Lingxiao Zhenren is such an idiot!
She almost laughed in anger.
If she guessed correctly, this point in time was when she, as a rogue cultivator, stumbled upon a village while searching for bargains. The village was inhabited by ordinary people.
Upon discovering that a demonic beast was committing evil, he then fought the beast for three hundred rounds, just as the woman had predicted.
She finally managed to get rid of the monster, but she was seriously injured and fell into a coma as a result.
That was just a late-stage Foundation Establishment demon beast, while her cultivation was only at the peak of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment. She had made herself into this state; her strength in this life was pitifully weak.
After drinking the herbal medicine the woman fed her, she said, "Thank you, Aunt Xu."
"You flatter me, fairy. Please don't be so polite. You should rest first. I'll go and tell the other villagers that you've woken up."
This is great news! After saying this, he put the medicine bowl aside and walked out happily.
The room fell silent again, and she continued to reflect on her current situation.
In her previous life, she remembered that when she woke up, she was already saying goodbye to the people in the village.
She had no memory of waking up in the village in the middle; she didn't know how she got to the village entrance, as if her consciousness had suddenly returned.
But after a thorough check, she found nothing wrong with her body, so she stopped worrying about such a trivial matter.
She was indeed less cautious in her previous life than she is now, and she gradually grew into who she is today.
Could it be...?
She stared intently, and a bold guess suddenly came to mind, connecting the two events.
She was absolutely certain that she had not actually been reversed back in time, but rather that the fluctuations in spacetime had brought her soul into her body from her previous life.
To put it simply, her past life was possessed by her future life.
That missing memory—it turns out—was destined for her to experience this, waiting for her to travel back in time to fill in the gaps in her memory.
This was good news for her. Since her past self had returned to normal, it proved that she must have a way to return to the future.
She just didn't know how long she had stayed in the village.
I'm not sure if the flow of time here is the same as that time period in the future, or what the situation will be like when I go back.
She hadn't forgotten that there was still that evil being over there who inexplicably harbored murderous intent towards her. Once this interlude with Lingxiao Zhenren was over, he would definitely make his move against her.
If the flow rate is the same, she absolutely cannot stay here for too long; the longer she stays, the more dangerous it becomes for her body.
She didn't want to finally return to the future only to find her body gone, leaving her a lost soul.
Even though she was extremely anxious at that moment, she could only try to calm herself down.
Shen Sanruo's eyes flickered, and another idea rose in her mind.
Could she use this opportunity to send information about the evil cultivators' conspiracy to the current cultivation world ahead of time?
However, according to her later memories, there was no related news in the cultivation world before she discovered the anomaly.
It's likely that some force is preventing her from leaving a trace.
She tried using her spiritual power to write down the relevant note, and sure enough, the note disappeared immediately after she wrote it down.
She had no choice but to give up and turn her attention to ways to return to the future.
It's actually quite easy to guess.
At this moment, her cultivation level is practically equivalent to half a waste, making it virtually impossible for her to return to the future using spiritual power.
In her previous life, when she regained consciousness, she was still at the village entrance, her injuries had just healed, and she certainly hadn't left the village during that time.
This also ruled out the possibility of finding any magical artifacts elsewhere, since this village is a village of ordinary people and naturally has no magical artifacts.
After eliminating all these possibilities, only the power of the soul remains.
She was a soul transmigrated into this world, and her soul strength and other attributes were still intact.
Moreover, in the end, didn't Lingxiao Zhenren also burn his own divine soul to send her here?
The key point is the spirit and soul.
She racked her brains, trying to recall if there were any corresponding soul-binding spells.
