I reign supreme in the Western fantasy world for eternity.

"You mean, I had you finish off the fairy who gained power, and then you came back?"

Lilith nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes, I finished off the enemies, and before I could even see what they dropped, everything blurred and I was back here."

"You mean, in the next level we'll encounter a powerful wind fairy? And it will self-destruct after it dies?"

"Yes, yes. It was ferocious. It manipulated the air right away, making it impossible for me to breathe. If it weren't for the sacred object you gave me beforehand, I would have suffocated. Later, you chopped off its head with your sword, and its body exploded like fireworks."

"You mean, I'll fall in love with you during the battle? And then kiss you?"

"Yes, yes, ouch, Master, why did you hit me?" Lilith covered her head, looking aggrieved.

"No personal agendas allowed."

"I... I was just saying, just trying to lighten the mood..."

"You don't need to be active next time."

"understood."

After all, Elena and her second senior sister aren't around, so she has to seize the opportunity to win over Ji Tian.

Unfortunately, my theoretical knowledge is still shallow, and I don't know where to start.

Hmm~ I should have asked Senior Sister Alice for more advice back in the sect.

It is said that after her second senior sister retired from writing books, she started her own business and wrote a once-popular book, which was called something like "The Thirty-Six Strategies of Love".

Ji Tian didn't notice Lilith's little scheme and went through the information she provided again.

The next level is a wind fairy. It self-destructs, collects souls, and grants wind-elemental authority.

After clearing the next level on their own, the fire fairy arrived at the next level. They subdued two fairies, and then Lilith finished them off, triggering a time rewind.

The core variable is the action of "Lilith finishing off the fairy who gained power".

The trigger condition is most likely: after Lilith kills one or more fairies holding authority, the World Tree will automatically send her back to the starting point.

The "insights" or "memories" she accumulated in this process are preserved as a kind of implicit benefit.

Ji Tian looked down at Lilith, who was rubbing her forehead: "What did you feel when you were rewinding?"

Lilith thought for a moment and carefully examined her own body:

"I don't think there was anything particularly special about it. I came back after finishing off the enemy."

"Then let's test your abilities in a different way this time."

"In what way?"

"First kill the wind fairy, then use its self-destruction to wipe out all the fairies in the area. You can then collect their souls, and the authority should fall into your hands. This will be used to determine the trigger conditions for your time-travel ability."

"Huh? Is this really okay?"

"You'll know once you try it."

Ji Tian took her hand and stepped into the emerald green light gate.

The sound of the wind whistling filled my ears.

On a desolate plain, under leaden clouds, thousands of fairies are engaged in a chaotic battle.

Ji Tian's gaze swept across the battlefield and locked onto the gray-white figure in the distance that was sweeping everything aside.

"Lilith".

"exist!"

"Stand back a bit later, and I'll use the Soul Banner to collect its soul after I've dealt with it."

"good!"

Ji Tian stepped forward, his figure shooting out like an arrow, precisely cutting into the battlefield.

The wind fairy noticed him again, its deep blue eyes locking onto him. It instantly unleashed a vacuum spell targeting humans, but the other party charged towards it without hesitation.

"Could he be a demon too? Then he deserves to die even more."

Just as it was thinking this, Ji Tian had already approached, his holy sword slashing horizontally, precisely cutting into the seam between the fairy's neck and wing root.

Grayish-white blood spurted out.

The wind fairy let out a sharp screech, its body trembling violently as it attempted to transform into a demonic form, but the power of faith on the holy sword firmly locked its shape in place.

The second sword strike, severing the wings.

The third sword strike: Piercing the Heart.

Another sword strike, and the head is severed.

The fairy's enormous body crashed to the ground, then began to swell, with a grayish-white light emanating from within.

Ji Tian retreated rapidly, protecting Lilith once again. The Holy Mountain exploded from the sword guard, transforming into a golden mountain several meters high that blocked his way.

boom--!

The shockwave swept across the entire wasteland, engulfing all the fairies engaged in the battle, and the grayish-white light swallowed everything.

When the dust settled, all that remained on the battlefield were scorch marks and fading magic light.

As the smoke cleared, only scattered specks of magical light remained on the desolate plain, silently dissipating in the air like fireflies slowly sinking into the twilight.

Lilith was held protectively in Ji Tian's arms. She secretly looked up and her gaze fell on Ji Tian's profile.

"Lilith, you can let go now."

"oh."

She let go of his hand and took half a step back, her hair brushing against his chin.

"Hold the Soul Banner and collect all the souls on the battlefield; in the end, the power will probably fall into your hands."

Lilith took the Emperor's Banner, unfurled it, and walked toward the scorched earth plowed by the explosion.

The soul banner unfurled in her hand without wind, the black patterns on its surface flowing slowly, drawing in the dissipating magical light.

"master."

"What is it?"

"Don't you feel that we've had a special chemistry along the way? Look, you're protecting me, and I'm holding back the soul. Our roles are clearly defined, and we've worked together so well."

"Hmm, so what?"

"So," she turned around, walking backwards, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, "shouldn't you reward me? Like a hug? Or a pat on the head would be fine too."

Ji Tian saw through her trick: "No reward."

"A kiss is fine with me, I'm not picky."

"Do you want me to kiss your hairline?"

"That works too!"

"Stop fooling around, collect the soul first."

Lilith pouted, turned around and continued collecting souls, muttering to herself:

"What? I obviously don't want to, but it's okay, I have plenty of time."

She continued walking forward until only a few wisps of her soul remained. Lilith stopped, turning back to Ji Tian with a defiant look that said, "You're the challenger."

"Just you wait until I find your weakness and I'll take you down!"

Before Ji Tian could respond, Lilith quickly guided the last few wisps of her soul into the banner, praying in her heart that she could successfully travel back in time.

After all, if he was too slow or failed to rewind, he might be severely punished by Ji Tian.

As if the whole world had responded to her expectations, grayish-white light surged in from all directions, engulfing her vision in a soft glow.

The familiar scene returns once again—

Beneath my feet was a transparent ground shimmering with a pale green light, and all around me was an endless gray-white void.

She's back.

Ji Tian stood a few steps away, watching her:

"Take a close look and see if you've gained any soul power... cough cough, an increase in spiritual power, or any other insights or the like."

Lilith raised her head, a glint of light flashing in her purple eyes.

"Master, whether you believe it or not, I traveled from the future."

Ji Tian raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

"In some battle in the future, you will fall in love with me, and then you will kiss, hug, and lift me up high."

Ji Tian smiled noncommittally: "So you went back in time just to say this?"

"I'm reminding you to cherish the people around you."
