I reign supreme in the Western fantasy world for eternity.

Lilith smiled and playfully scolded:

"Master, really, making jokes like this at a time like this is not funny at all... Besides, a disciple cannot kill his master."

But when she saw Ji Tian's serious expression, her smile suddenly froze.

"…master?"

"I'm serious, but what you said makes sense."

Lilith breathed a sigh of relief. "So, how about we think of another way?"

Ji Tian shook his head: "Therefore, I have decided to expel you from the sect. From this day forward, you are no longer my disciple. You can kill me in peace."

In the past, Lilith might have been excited about being expelled from the sect, and when she returned, her senior sisters might have started calling her "master's wife."

But now things are different; Lilith is truly panicked.

"What a joke! There must be another way, right? Absolutely! Maybe I even have the ability to rewind time after death. I can try committing suicide..."

Her words grew faster and more urgent, incoherent, and choked with sobs.

Ji Tian didn't expect Lilith's reaction to be so strong. After tightening his restraints on Evan, he went to Lilith's side and gently embraced her.

Lilith's body stiffened abruptly.

Ji Tian's embrace was steady, the warmth seeping through the fabric as he gently patted her back, soothing her emotions.

"I won't risk your life."

"Then don't risk your life!"

"What if this is the only way?"

"What's wrong with being trapped here forever?! I'll share my memories with you, wouldn't it be better if we were together forever? Besides, I've only learned escape and self-defense techniques so far, I can learn others, I'll definitely study hard! Don't die, okay?"

"Elena and the others are still waiting for us to go back. This is the best option. If going back in time still can't solve the problem, I'll stay here with you forever, okay?"

Lilith wanted to argue that "there are other ways," but she knew that in nearly two hundred cycles, she had tried every possible method.

The [Liberation Holy Sword] will rewind, taking out the [Book of Industry] will rewind, forcibly breaking through the dome will rewind, without exception.

Ji Tian released her, took a half step back, and his voice remained gentle.

"Be good, Lilith, kill me."

After saying this, Ji Tian turned to look at the other person, Yi Long.

"Mia, Little Flower, please be on standby at all times. Make sure nothing happens to Lilith."

Mia was surprised when she heard Ji Tian's plan, but she understood that Ji Tian's actions made sense, so she nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Ji Tian had made up his mind and that Mia supported his decision, Xiao Hua said no more.

Ji Tian released his embrace from Lilith, grasped her hand in return, and placed the hilt of the Holy Sword in her hand.

Hold on tight.

"I--"

"Don't be afraid."

Ji Tian released her hand, took a step back, and grasped the blade of the holy sword himself.

The blade sliced ​​into his palm, and blood flowed down the blade, gathering into a deep red stream at the hilt. He calmly looked at Lilith.

"Are you ready?"

"No, how could such a thing be prepared?"

Lilith's vision was blurred by tears, and she shook her head desperately.

Ji Tian smiled, relaxed his body's defenses, and then pulled hard on the blade.

The holy sword pierced his chest.

The sword tip pierced through his back, and blood seeped onto his robes, as alluring as blooming red flowers.

Ji Tian's vitality was too strong. Even though his heart was pierced by the holy sword, his body only swayed slightly and his consciousness remained clear.

He glanced down at the blade in his chest, then looked up at Lilith.

"...Don't cry. Take the Holy Sword and keep pushing it inward, so that the World Tree won't judge my death as suicide."

Lilith's vision was blurred by tears. She trembled as she pushed the Holy Sword, then reached out her hands to catch Ji Tian's falling body.

Ji Tian lay in her arms, warm blood still gushing from the wound on his chest, soaking through her robes.

"Ji Tian...why can't I do anything?"

Lilith's voice was hoarse, and she couldn't even speak in a complete sentence.

She lowered her head and pressed her forehead against his, tears falling drop by drop onto his cheek.

Ji Tian gently stroked her face, wiping away her tears, and said with a smile:

"Don't cry, it will all be over soon, see you later."

Looking into his unfocused eyes, Lilith felt a surge of indescribable emotion. She lowered her head and pressed her tear-stained lips to his.

Ji Tian's body stiffened slightly, but the next moment, a torrent of memories was shared into his mind by Lilith.

Those were all the confessions from nearly two hundred cycles.

At the end of each loop, Lilith blushes and says "I like you"; in each loop, her clumsy hints and awkward attempts to get closer...

After a long while, Lilith released him. One could vaguely see tears clinging to her eyelashes, and her lips stained with his blood, a deep, alluring red, like the rouge applied to the lips on a wedding night.

"I love you the most, the most, the most."

"Lilith, you are the most special person I have ever met."

Lilith was somewhat dazed upon hearing this, not expecting that Ji Tian would still remember what she had hoped he would say during the first few times she had retraced her steps, and she cried even more bitterly.

At this moment, Ji Tian's body was so weak that he could hardly move, and his consciousness was slowly sinking. His gaze fell on Lilith's face.

She cupped his face in her hands, tears streaming down her face, dripping onto his chest and mingling with the seeping blood.

Ji Tian's lips moved, but he could no longer make a sound. He tried to raise his right hand, wanting to wipe away her tears again.

But in the end, it still failed. The hand slowly slid down and landed at the side, where it remained motionless.

The rise and fall of his chest gradually stopped.

Lilith knelt on the ground, holding the lifeless body in her arms.

I closed my eyes, waiting, hoping, and praying that I would return to the past and hear Ji Tian's voice again.

However, nothing happened.

Time cannot be turned back.

"How could this be... How could this happen... Why did this happen? Are you kidding me!?"

Lilith raised her head, her gaze sweeping aimlessly across her surroundings.

Mia and Xiaohua were still there, looking at themselves with concern. Nothing around them had changed.

The backtracking failed?

"Yes, there must be a problem with the backtracking!"

As if grasping at the last straw, she suddenly lowered her head and gripped the holy sword still embedded in Ji Tian's chest with both hands.

"If I die, perhaps everything can be reversed!"

"Lilith! Stop!"

Mia rushed toward Lilith and grabbed her wrist before she could draw her holy sword.

Just then, a burst of wild laughter suddenly exploded throughout the space.

"Hahahaha—! After so many rewinds, you've finally fallen for it!"
