Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

[Having found a way to return to the mortal realm, you immediately awaken your senior brother, who has fallen into a state of enlightenment.]

[Detach from understanding the true nature of death and the underworld.]

The eldest disciple's clear, misty eyes caught sight of the suddenly appearing second-generation Xu Hui.

"And this is...?"

"How did my brother, Xu Hui, my senior brother, return from the underworld to the mortal realm?"

The eldest disciple appeared slightly bewildered and lost in thought.

Why did a brother suddenly appear after his brief moment of enlightenment, and why are you in such a hurry to return to the human world?

[Given your attitude.]

The eldest brother didn't linger with further questions.

"Come with me."

He soared forward with an ethereal, otherworldly grace, leading the way.

[You and the second-generation Xu Hui follow.]

"In ancient times, the underworld and the human world were connected by the Yellow Springs."

"The soul of a person after death is guided through the Yellow Springs to the Underworld, where it is reincarnated in the six realms."

[The eldest disciple, Yu Shoubian, will answer your questions while traveling.]

"After the destruction of the underworld, its authority was lost, the Yellow Springs were blocked, and the passage connecting it to the human world was cut off."

Upon hearing this, your right eye, with its jade-like golden rim, flickered with a subtle, mysterious light.

[You entered the underworld earlier thanks to the Yellow Springs water hidden within your golden eyes.]

Previously, there was no way to resist the killing.

Therefore, you weren't too concerned about leaving the underworld.

[At this moment, if you were to gain enlightenment, it would be through the jade-adorned golden eyes and the waters of the Yellow Springs.]

Perhaps this will also provide a way to return to the human world.

[However, since the senior brother knows the method, there's no need to waste time; just copy the answer.]

[In this endless, desolate land, there is no concept of space or time; even in the same scene, there is no point of reference.]

[It makes one feel trapped in a cycle of reincarnation.]

The eldest disciple gracefully stopped mid-air.

Eyes shrouded in a mystical aura gaze down upon the dark earth.

"After I awoke from the underworld, I also searched for a way to leave, until my cultivation of the mind improved, and I gradually understood."

He pointed to a place that was indistinguishable from the surrounding boundless land.

"Before ancient times, the underworld was in charge of the end and reincarnation."

"Souls are led to the underworld, and only through reincarnation can they return to the human world..."

You listen silently.

[I understand that in ancient times, given the current cultivation levels of the three of you...]

If you're trapped in the underworld, there's almost no way to escape.

At that time, the underworld and the celestial realm were in a state of balance.

The power of authority and rules is magnificent and sublime.

Breaking the rules is tantamount to challenging the authority of the underworld.

[To escape the cycle of reincarnation and leave the underworld.]

[This is not much different from those who, while living in the world, attempt to undermine imperial power through rebellion.]

The eldest disciple gracefully descended, stepping onto the dark, desolate land.

"The destruction of the underworld and the loss of authority led to chaos in the rules, allowing loopholes to be found."

As he spoke, his simple white robe billowed, and his wide sleeves danced lightly.

[Holding a mysterious seal.]

[Activating the divine soul and physical body, the immense mental power that gathers all that is inherent in the mind.]

[A vast, all-encompassing black mist, reminiscent of an anime.]

The outline of a door gradually comes into view.

The eldest disciple held the mudra with both hands, his expression solemn and dignified, clearly not relaxed.

"With the power of my heart, I have chosen the noble gate, the path to the mortal realm!"

A voice imbued with terrifying power echoed across this land of annihilation.

You were momentarily lost in thought.

[I never expected that the method my senior brother described would be so "simple and unadorned."]

If you believe in your heart, there is a door that leads to the world.

【so……】

The door now exists.

Ah... you can only lament that the path of idealism is truly unreasonable.

[The power of the mind stirs the black mist, representing the essence of the underworld, outlining the silhouette of the grand gate.]

A beam of pure white light streaked across the center and fell to the ground.

It was as if a large gate had been opened a crack.

A blinding light shone through the door.

The actual situation is...

All the sights and changes were purely determined by the senior disciple's "idealistic" perception.

In short, it wouldn't be much different from saying it was something he "fantasized" about.

"Junior brother! If you are confident that you can withstand the calamity and return to the mortal realm, then go forward!"

The eldest disciple's white robes fluttered wildly, his black hair flying everywhere.

A youthful face, turning back to reveal a warm and affectionate smile.

From beginning to end, he chose to believe in you.

You silently nodded.

[The second-generation Xu Hui, like a lost ghost, places his hand on your shoulder.]

The mysteries of the forgotten path gradually envelop your entire being.

[At the final moment.]

You gaze at them from afar.

"By the way, you anchored my will in a state of divine soul, and the First Generation Queen also possessed a state of divine soul manipulation."

【"That……"】

"Where are your bodies?"

Since your reunion, you've been moved by the path of the second-generation Xu Hui and plan to return to the human world to try again.

[Just now, I remembered the time in the mortal realm.]

[The first generation, Xu Hui, altered Jiang Bofu's perception to save you.]

[At that time, you sensed that he was in a state of spiritual consciousness.]

[Beneath the forgotten mystery, they were completely unaware that they once possessed a body they could inhabit.]

[Wandering like a lost soul.]

[Second-generation Xu Hui faces your question.]

[A slightly awkward, forced laugh.]

"Um... I don't know where I've forgotten my body..."

Goodness!

Upon hearing this answer, you can only marvel in silence.

[The second-generation Xu Hui comprehends the forgotten path.]

[It can make the world forget its existence.]

What if even he himself had forgotten his body?

[Conceptually speaking, does his physical body still exist?]

Your brilliant insight right now is mind-boggling.

Indeed, paths involving mechanisms and concepts often lack any logical basis.

Regardless of whether they are strong or not, they are definitely incredibly cunning.

It's also easy to get yourself caught up in something.

"Take care, brother."

You composed yourself and nodded solemnly.

The second-generation Xu Hui's words and tone conveyed the solemnity of a farewell between life and death.

Because after the world has forgotten you.

He himself will forget everything about you.

Then it will be impossible to anchor your will and maintain a stable state.

This can lead to self-forgetfulness.

From that moment on, there was no second Xu Hui in the world.

Your mind involuntarily sinks into stillness.

[Because we don't know how the judgment will be made in the "Farewell to the Deceased" section regarding the case of the second-generation Xu Hui.]

Ultimately, as a staunch believer in seeking truth from facts.

You make your own judgment.

Compared to death as objectively defined, complete oblivion erases all traces.

This is the ultimate way to send someone off on their final journey.

Because this is more terrifying than death.

[Even esoteric and mysterious methods like "Recite my name, and I will exist."]

[They have all lost their effectiveness.]

The second-generation Xu Hui noticed the hesitation in your eyes.

[His usually cool and indifferent face revealed an unprecedentedly warm smile.]

[His rational eyes curved slightly.]

"The world... has forgotten you at this moment..."

[A silent voice proclaims.]
