Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

One hundred seven thousand six hundred and fifty-four years.

This number hit Zhou Li's mind like a huge rock, instantly shattering the calmness and confidence that he was proud of.

He sat slowly in this empty space. Zhou Li, with his heart as if torn apart, looked silently at Tao Yao in his memory, the sister who was looking at the boy's back from afar.

"I left that day..."

As if there was a crack in his voice, Zhou Li lowered his head and whispered hoarsely: "She came to find me, to find me at school..."

The moment Zhou Li opened the door, Tao Yao felt a little regretful.

How can a real family not understand each other's thoughts?
Taoyao knew that everything Zhou Li did was for the two of them. He studied hard so as not to disappoint Taoyao, even though Taoyao had never said, "I dropped out of school to work because of you." Everything he did was to give Taoyao a better life, so that this sister who tried her best to drag a pair of disabled legs could live a peaceful life in the future.

It's not about gratitude, nor is it about repayment. It's just two hearts that love each other and give their all to each other, that's all.

No one is wrong.

Tao Yao knew that Zhou Li was very talented. Whether it was literature or science, Zhou Li had talents that people could not stop praising. But for her, Zhou Li gave up applying to Peking University and chose a local school. Although it was also a 985 university, he was obviously not supposed to come here with the third place in the province.

One hundred thousand in incentive money.

Tao Yao certainly knew why Zhou Li chose Jishu University, and she was very touched. But Tao Yao, who had been struggling in society for several years, also knew that she and Zhou Li, two orphans, had no background or strength, and the only way to move forward was to get into the best university. If Zhou Li wanted to achieve class leap, get rid of the label of an orphan, and marry a good girl, he had to get into the best university and move forward.

So, she didn't want Zhou Li to stay in Jishu.

But Zhou Li couldn't let her go.

After Zhou Li left, Tao Yao began to feel a little regretful. She felt as if she wanted to control Zhou Li's fate and wanted Zhou Li to live according to her ideas.

For your own good.

Tao Yao had never said these three words, but she firmly believed that everything she did was for Zhou Li's life to be better.

But she also knew that the three words "for your own good" also carried another meaning.

listen to me.

How on earth should I do this?
This question has been lingering in Tao Yao's mind. After an unknown amount of time, Tao Yao went to Zhou Li's school and found him.

"Why did you choose her?"

When the dim tunnel swallowed up Tao Yao's figure, the sluggish boy's throat could no longer roar, and the forgotten memories returned to his mind again. Zhou Li clenched his fists and asked hoarsely, "Why her?"

"Not her."

Jianjia said calmly, "It's you."

"He chose you, a young man with great talent. But your sister noticed something was wrong and pushed you away before anything happened."

At dusk, Zhou Li sat quietly beside the curtain of memory, watching the sea of ​​memory eroding his mind like waves.

Jianjia didn't say anything, she just sat beside him. She knew that for Zhou Li now, the loss of his memory was far more serious than anything he had experienced.

"Why one hundred seven thousand six hundred and fifty-four?"

Zhou Li asked.

“Because in this year, you came.”

With her eyes lowered, Jianjia said softly, "Zhou Li, do you know? For the three of us, living is an extreme pain."

Zhou Li's heart trembled. Becoming the Lord of Fire, all his perspectives would become flames. For him, only the burning heat and the smell of lava constituted his world. Everything that belonged to him as a human being turned into complete flames.

After becoming the Lord of Fire, only when he faced Zhou Li did he become a complete human being.

The soul master is a complete soul. In Jianjia's eyes, things in any dimension cannot intersect with her. Space, senses, everything are illusory to her. All she can do is to have a momentary meeting with those dead souls in the only long time she can perceive.

"For us, the only possibility is the loss of humanity, and death is the real relief."

Looking at Zhou Li who was silent, Jian Jia said softly: "I am not Yun Zhongshu. Yun Zhongshu died in the 60,000th year. I am just an echo of her unwillingness. In fact, I do not exist, but I am reluctant to leave."

"The Fire Lord died in the 90,000th year. He could have lived longer because his mind was stronger. But no one expected that he would wear a mask. In order to completely destroy the Faceless Yellow Clothes, he chose to die happily after leaving behind only a broken body."

Then, Jianjia remained silent.

Zhou Li then understood what she was going to say.

Taoyao endured long torture and pain for a hundred thousand years, and finally waited for his arrival.

"Too late."

Zhou Li's voice became hoarse, he could no longer speak, all he could say was words squeezed out of his throat.

"It's not too late."

Tao Yao lifted her skirt and gently sat beside Zhou Li. She looked at the girl in the picture who climbed out of the abyss and grasped the edge of the world with all her strength, and whispered: "You are here, that's enough."

Jianjia looked at Zhou Li deeply, then took a step back and disappeared here.

“How many times have I come?”

Zhou Li asked.

“This is the second time.”

Tao Yao lifted her hair behind her ears and said slowly, "The first time your soul was shocked by the truth, I reset everything."

Zhou Li felt a little bitter in his mouth, as if blood had flowed into his gums. But he also clearly felt that he was just peeking into the memory in his soul, without any sense of touch or perception.

Just like Taoyao in these hundred thousand years.

"sister···"

He opened his mouth and whispered, "I'm sorry... I forgot everything."

Zhou Li didn't understand why he couldn't remember these most important things. Obviously, all other memories on Earth were in his mind, but he couldn't remember anything related to Tao Yao.

Until today, he believed that Taoyao was the sister adopted by this world. But when those memories belonging to him came back to his mind, Zhou Li felt an indescribable shame.

He actually forgot the person who was most important to him.

"unimportant."

However, what he didn't expect was that Tao Yao just smiled and shook her head, saying softly: "Memory is not important."

"When I held you in my arms and saw you smile at me, the moment that passed was no longer important."

"The only thing that matters is our future, you and me, that's all." (End of this chapter)
