Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

"151..."

"152..."

"153..."

With only 30 seconds left, it was safe to say that death was imminent for Xia Jie.

It was at this moment, under the ever-approaching pressure of death, that Xia Jie's soul instinctively activated a revolving lantern.

Unlike the brain-theater of Xiang Nan in 2.5, Xia Jie's revolving lantern is much more normal.

Memories flooded Xia Jie's mind, but there was no wooden sword her father had made by hand when she was a child, nor the lullabies her mother had sung gently when she was sick.

更没有唯心剑修的100+50+22=10050^22的战力计算方式。

After all, Lao Xia's background is a popular one among transmigrators from the Chinese folklore world—he's a pure orphan, so he doesn't have any family ties to allow him to unleash his full potential.

The first image that appears is of myself as a lonely child.

Back then, I was even more of a naive kid than Fushiguro Megumi, who didn't feel any pressure.

The gentle breeze stirred by the traffic on the road, the occasional birdsong from the trees by the roadside—the illusion created by the demigod's memories was enough to fool anyone.

Xia Jie's soul curled up in her small body, sitting on the school bus, holding her tiny schoolbag, listening to her earliest worries and dreams from kindergarten.

"It seems like everyone dies eventually. What will it be like when I die? Can I accept my own death?"

"That can't be right. Ultimately, why must people accept death instead of living on forever?"

"When a person dies, doesn't everything they experienced in life become meaningless?"

"I've decided! When I grow up, I want to be a biologist who studies lifespan!"

After listening, Xia Jie felt a slight tremor in her heart, as if something was about to break through the dusty soil of her memories.

"Is this the original intention that I forgot the very next day?"

Lao Xia just scratched his head, lamenting the unrealistic naivety of his childhood ideals, and ultimately achieving nothing.

The moment I stepped off the school bus as a child, my memories shifted to elementary school.

At that time, he was still innocent, but his domineering nature was growing stronger. Simply put, it was the most chuunibyou (delusional) episode.

Xia Jie's soul shrank into her new body, listening to the voice of her heart, which had changed due to her mental growth.

How much can I accomplish in this world? And what kind of ending will I face?

"No, I don't want an ending. I don't want to be a mortal sinking into the mire of time. I want to reach the top of the world and witness infinite wonder!"

There's a saying... "Until immortality, all is vanity."

One day, I will no longer be a passerby in time, but rather time will become a passerby in my life!

"Wow, that's awesome. So I actually said something like that back then. Ding Zhen could tell at a glance that I read it while reading The Insect World."

The throbbing in her heart intensified slightly, but the dull-witted Xia Jie remained oblivious, instead gaining a profound understanding of what it meant that "people cannot even empathize with their past selves."

Memories change, then change again, and then change once more.

Xia Jie saw herself in middle school, who repeatedly got full marks in biology through hard work and interest, but found that she was not a genius and her intelligence was not enough to develop immortality technology in the 21st century. Her ideals gradually withered and she began to give up in middle school.

Xia Jie saw herself in high school, half hardworking and half self-destructive; she saw herself in college, half confused and half living for the moment; she saw herself as an adult, scrolling through posts on the sofa, talking about beating up the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries with top-tier skills, on the eve of her transmigration.

After that came a major turning point in her life. After being blessed by the miracle "Challenge Space", Xia Jie used her rekindled life and dreams to unleash an infinite black flash!

The self-proclaimed clay maker, Lu Ziyun who opened her domain, the five constellations who joined forces to create a four-in-one domain to annihilate Tianyuan, the sacrifice of the Sun Chariot, the Space Undying Slash that ended everything, the gathering through the soul passage—all these past events gradually became clear before Xia Jie's eyes, and the sense of enlightenment in her heart became more and more obvious...

It seems that the answer is already on the paper, but I subconsciously ignored it due to the inertia of my thinking.

"Almost there, just a little bit more!"

Click—!

The flashback of memory abruptly ended here, because the long yet fleeting 30 seconds had already passed, and the light rain that burned away logic finally broke through Xia Jie's extraterrestrial body, which had been strengthened by the principle of adaptation and universal resistance.

Death has come.

In the struggle between the infinite and the infinite, the demigod of memory begins to burn.

However, Natsuki, who was engrossed in the Jujutsu Kaisen rerun, was completely unaware of this.

When consciousness opened its eyes, what it saw was an endless expanse of pure white.

This is a pure white space that resembles both a challenge space and a passageway for the soul, similar to the revolving lantern scene that appears when the water clock dies.

However, no one asked Xia Jie how she felt, whether she was heading south or north, and no unified entity popped up to say proudly, "You're very strong."

There is only Xia Jie here.

"Is this my limit? Is this the end of my pride and joy, my fighting spirit and patience?"

"I cannot comprehend it, I cannot master it. Could it be that the arrogance and laziness that accompany power have diluted the purity of my heart?"

"No, it has nothing to do with power. I am not pure enough to be easily influenced by inflated power."

"Wait, pure? Pure... what is pure, and what is purity?"

"Can my present self, who has abandoned causal logic in order to become the perfect god of memory, truly be considered highly pure?"

"Burning away cause and effect, abandoning logic, and transforming into pure memory, that 'me' is certainly perfect, certainly pure, but is that 'me' truly still me? Or is it merely the divinity of memory cloaked in my skin?"

"Ultimately, why do I pursue purity? Is it to become stronger, because I think it's cool, or because I believe that this is the mindset of a truly strong person?"

"The difference between the two motivations for doing something—'I want to do it' and 'I need to do it'—is like heaven and earth."

"Now that things have come to this, what exactly is the reason I've attached the pursuit and meaning of 'strength' to my life, and why have I embarked on this path of no return for the strong?"

"Is it really because you want to experience the thrill of battle, and witness the unknown possibilities that defy conventional destinies?"

"Shouldn't I be on the path of 'self'?"

"My conscious demand for purity may be going against the true meaning of purity."

"I follow my own path, I am my own master—didn't I already understand this principle when I fought Tengen?"

"Having the ability to rewind infinitely, what made me, who once yearned to be sincere and unpredictable, stop trying afterward?"

"Could it be that subconsciously I feel that the me who now possesses 'infinite' power, capable of creating all things with a single thought, is necessarily stronger than the me who was full of determination back then?"

"In the end, if I do not follow my heart and act accordingly, what am I to be?"

Xia Jie finally understood.

Along with sudden enlightenment comes a constant stream of burning fighting spirit and an endless stream of crystal-clear inspiration.

At this moment, he had a tiny bit of his own understanding of the sword cultivator's idealistic approach to allocating combat power:

Common miscellaneous fish:

3 + 3 + 3 = 9

A First Glimpse:

3+3+3=3×3×3=27

Some success:

3 + 3 + 3 = 333

Entering the inner sanctum:

3+3+3=3^3^3=3^27

Integration and mastery:

3+3+3=3↑↑↑3

Reaching the pinnacle:

3+3+3=8+3=∞+∞/2

Just like Gojo Satoru, who doesn't yet know how to reverse the technique and whose body is still severely injured.

For Xia Jie, who has just achieved enlightenment, the battle has only just begun.

For the unified entity, which is bound by desire and is trying to break free from its constraints, the battle is already over.

Hmm... an end in every sense of the word.
