My past life exposure shocked the entire internet.

Along the way, Ye Wanlan heard Lu Qingning tell her a lot about what happened after she left.

According to Lu Qingning, the Eternal Continent and Earth No. 9 were originally the same world, but they split into two worlds.

This is different from the situation of Earth 723 and Earth 237.

The former is a multiverse, the latter a parallel world.

The multiverse and parallel worlds are not the same, because the Eternal Continent and Earth 9 originally belonged to the same world, sharing the same origin, but eventually split into two halves.

Parallel worlds are two worlds that do not interfere with each other.

In scientific terms, parallel worlds are like other life-bearing planets hundreds of millions of light-years away. There are many, many such worlds, including high-tech worlds like Earth-9.

It is precisely because the world is divided in two that the Eternal Continent and Earth 9 each take half of the world's fortune.

If the world's fortune is incomplete, the world can never be upgraded.

The Eternal Continent and Earth 9 must be merged into one to obtain the complete fortune, but the price is the lives of billions of people in both worlds.

This is also the catastrophe that Earth 9 is facing.

However, Si Fuqing managed to ensure that the Eternal Continent and Earth No. 9 could operate in parallel even when their fortunes were combined.

This allowed the world to be upgraded and escape the control of the Time Administration, while also protecting all living beings.

Ye Wanlan was indeed surprised that the truth of the world was like this, but what she cared more about was how many difficulties Si Fuqing had encountered, how many injuries he had suffered, and how many times he had come close to death after embarking on this path.
She didn't dare to think about it.

Because she had once walked down that same path, she didn't want Si Fuqing to become like her.

In her eyes, Si Fuqing will always be the younger sister she wants to protect.

She hoped that her younger sister would grow up carefree and happy forever, without suffering any harm.

But things can change in an unpredictable way.

People are pushed forward by fate.

Even if she could do it all over again, Ye Wanlan would still choose to let Si Fuqing live.

Even though she knew that once she left, Si Fuqing would have to grow up.

When Ye Wanlan first met Si Fuqing in the forest, she knew that Si Fuqing was no ordinary person.

Bearing such a powerful destiny, one must inevitably shoulder greater responsibilities.

But she really felt sorry for him.

Si Fuqing stared at her blankly: "Sister..."

It had been a long, long time since the incident, but Ye Wanlan's words stirred up her distant memories.

That was a life-or-death moment for her.

Yun Xu intends to merge the Eternal Continent and Earth No. 9 into one, unifying their destinies and breaking through to a higher level.

But she and Yu Xiheng certainly wouldn't allow Yun Xu to sacrifice billions of lives to achieve his so-called grand ambitions.

During her battle with Yun Xu, she was thrown into a place called "Time-Space Shackles" by Yun Xu.

Within the shackles of time and space, everything is in chaos.

Time is disordered, space is reversed.

The shackles of time and space sent her back to the time when Ye Wanlan was still alive, intending to trap her forever.

Yun Xu knew that Ye Wanlan was her deepest obsession, and she would always regret why she had been careless in the depths of the Endless Sea, causing Ye Wanlan to sacrifice his life to give her a new life.

Undeniably, Yun Xu almost succeeded.

She saw her sister whom she had missed for so long and was reluctant to leave.

Time passed within the shackles of time and space, and the day came again for them to travel to the Eternal Continent.

Si Fuqing knew that Ye Wanlan would die on this day, and she could finally stop her.

But what did Ye Wanlan do back then?

Her sister looked at her, suddenly smiled, and said in a very soft voice, "You're not the Xiao Qing I know, are you?" She anxiously tried to prove her identity.

But Ye Wanlan still smiled: "You are Xiao Qing, but not someone I know. You come from a future I cannot reach, right?"

At that moment, she was so shaken that she forgot to speak.

Ye Wanlan continued, "You're more composed than the Xiao Qing I knew, which is a good thing. Your acting is really good, but how could I not recognize you?"

Yes, how could her sister not recognize her?

Ye Wanlan can easily distinguish between her past self and her future self.

At that time, Ye Wanlan also said something like this: "How much suffering have you gone through to become so strong... You must have suffered a lot while your sister was away."

It was an ordinary sentence, not sweet talk, yet it easily struck a chord with Si Fuqing, leaving her instantly devastated.

Yun Xu never imagined that it was Ye Wanlan who would help her break free from the shackles of time and space.

Because Ye Wanlan said at the end, "Xiao Qing, there are still many people waiting for you to save, but your sister doesn't need to. Please wake up, okay?"

"Go ahead, there are many people waiting for you."

The shackles of time and space collapsed with a crash.

She woke up, but Ye Wanlan disappeared again.

Before she met Ying Zijin and Jun Muqian, Si Fuqing had never held any hope that she could meet Ye Wanlan again.

Even now, when she finally sees Ye Wanlan, she still feels like she's dreaming.

I dare not speak easily, I dare not touch easily.

She feared that beautiful things would always be like bubbles, bursting the moment she was immersed in them.

Si Fuqing, who was never afraid of anything, was afraid at this moment.

What should she do if the Ye Wanlan in front of her is just a dream?
Ye Wanlan seemed to be able to see through her inner unease, so she opened her arms and smiled: "Don't you want to hug your sister?"

Six words caused Si Fuqing's psychological defenses to collapse once again.

She suddenly stepped forward and hugged Ye Wanlan.

Warm body temperature, soft body.

It is the real Ye Wanlan, not an illusion or a dream.

Si Fuqing's tears fell like a broken string, surging and turbulent.

As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was already choked with sobs and incoherent: "Sister, I miss you so much..."

"I know." Ye Wanlan gently patted her back, just like many years ago. "I miss you too."

She paused, then added, "At all times."

How could you not want to?

This is her younger sister whom she raised single-handedly.

She vividly remembered their first meeting; the little girl was like a wary little lion, looking at her with extremely alert and guarded eyes, as if she might pounce on her at any moment and bite her throat off.

That undisguised gaze was extremely aggressive, reminding her of her past self.

So, Ye Wanlan took the little girl back with her.

She is not actually a very patient person, nor has she ever taken care of younger generations.

She simply learned to take care of Si Fuqing in the same way that Hejia had taken care of her.

They are similar, yet not similar.

Si Fuqing bears the marks she left behind, and she, too, has been imbued with Si Fuqing's aura.

They are not blood relatives.

But between them lies a bond far more precious than blood ties. (End of Chapter)
