The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Chi Miao's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Oh right, you've seen it too!"

"I haven't seen it."

Xian gave an awkward laugh and decided to let it go.

Chi Miao frowned, somewhat confused: "But if you haven't seen it, then why is my sea of ​​consciousness defense Peppa Pig?"

The immortal said, "The defense of the sea of ​​consciousness was indeed done by me, but what specific defense mode would be the one that you feel most secure about in your own perception?"

Chi Miao was stunned.

Is Peppa Pig the thing that makes her feel most secure?

Oh, that makes sense. When she was lying in the hospital bed because of the Yama Curse, Peppa Pig was always on TV. As long as she could see it when she opened her eyes, it meant that her surgery was over again and she had escaped from the clutches of Yama once more.

Therefore, Peppa Pig is indeed the person who gives her the greatest sense of security in her subconscious.

Of course, as an orphan, Chi Miao didn't have the money to pay for medical expenses in her previous life. The reason she was able to have surgery was entirely because she volunteered to be a test subject for the hospital in order to survive.

But he still died in the end.

Knowing all this, Chi Miao still felt a warmth in her heart and looked at the immortal in front of her: "My doubts are gone."

Xian blinked: "Not even a little bit?"

Chi Miao: "Actually, all I need to do is figure out who I am and what I want to do. I don't need to know too much about the rest. After all, everyone's choices are irreplaceable and no one can fully empathize with them."

"So whether I have other questions or not, those don't matter anymore."

Upon hearing Chi Miao's words, Xian's eyes welled up with tears. She took a deep breath, her nose stinging, and inhaled the bittersweet feeling, which warmed her heart while also causing a tingling sensation.

Only after the needle that had been stuck in her chest for who knows how many years was removed did she let out a soft sigh: "No wonder Jiang Yue chose you in the end; you are indeed more suitable to become the new immortal."

Although Chi Miao is unreliable when it comes to small matters, he is not so trustworthy when it comes to big matters either.

Yet she always possesses the power to heal others and this imperfect world.

This is the kind of power that this corrupt world needs.

No wonder Jiang Yue said that Chi Miao has endless possibilities.

Xian lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze gentle, and said, "Now I can leave in peace."

Chi Miao was already quite familiar with this kind of segment; aside from the sadness, she mostly reached out Er Kang's hand and shouted:

"Wait! Don't go yet!"

Fairy: "Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Chi Miao: "Leave your legacy behind before you go! If you leave nothing, won't I have come all this way for nothing?!"

The fairy's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally shattered. Even someone as gentle, kind, and even timid as she was, closed her eyes speechlessly: "..."

At this time, you should learn to be strong.

Xian bit her lip, her facial muscles stiff as she spoke, "You don't need to worry, I've prepared all of this... This is your greatest bargaining chip against the evil of all things, how could I forget?"

Chi Miao breathed a sigh of relief, but then her curiosity returned, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "So what exactly is it?"

Xian smiled slightly: "Well... you'll understand once you receive this inheritance."

Chi Miao squinted, feeling a strong sense of familiarity and a bad premonition.

"Is he going to give me some kind of trial again?"

Immortal: "Hmm? You're pretty quick to understand."

Chi Miao took a deep breath: "Wait... why is it that every time I inherit something, I have to go through trials?"

They're treating her like a beast of burden.

They said they'd leave it for her, but one by one they're all so conservative. Isn't there anyone who'd unconditionally give her a big gift?

Xian was both amused and exasperated, then covered her face to hide her expression for a while before speaking:

"Didn't you want to know about the system's origins?"

Chi Miao: "You actually believed me when I lied to him?"

Gou Shi System: "Huh??"

Immortal: "...Okay."

She really didn't expect that all those touching words were just to fool people, and that Chi Miao's acting skills were quite good.

Gou Shi almost fainted from crying.

What is real? What is real?

The immortal lowered her eyes, sighed softly, and said with a hint of sadness, "It's not for a trial or a test, but something you must do to obtain this inheritance."

"Look up, what do you see?"

Chi Miao looked up, but there was actually no change in front of her. If she had to describe it, it would be that... there were bones everywhere.

A soaring sorrow and resentment.

Xian pursed her lips and said in a calm voice, "If Jiang Yue hadn't appeared, some of them would have been completely destroyed, leaving not even bones behind, and some would have been left to rot in the wilderness. I was able to awaken their souls, partly because I do indeed possess this ability, and partly because... they all died unjustly and with resentment in their hearts."

"Their souls are attached to their bones, and they cannot find release for a long time."

"Generation after generation, we have all accomplished countless great things, yet in the end, we have come to this, and no one even remembers us... not even a tombstone."

"And what about me? I no longer have that much time to bury them, to erect tombstones for them. I can't even bury myself or erect a tombstone for myself."

"So we've been waiting for you, waiting for someone who can quell the resentment deep within our souls."

"Correspondingly, by burying them, we can inherit their legacy and pave the way for generations to come... This is the road we have paved."

"Who will bury the dead, he will become the traveler on the road."

Xian's eyes were filled with sorrow and grief, and a faint sadness lingered there, gradually touching Chi Miao's heart, making her heart skip a beat, and leaving her feeling empty and unable to utter a word.

Looking at the scattered bones, most of them were just one of the 206 bones in the body.

They were brought here partly to leave behind a legacy, and partly... because they also wanted their broken souls to find peace.

This is not an excessive request; on the contrary, it is quite simple.

So simple that even without any inheritance, Chi Miao would use her own hands to find a final resting place for every piece of flesh and blood, for every reincarnation.

Even though she had important things to do.

But when one is on the road, one should not forget the road one came from.

They walked through a canyon, where the path to survival lay just ahead, so they pressed their corpses one after another to pave a way, hoping that those who came after them could find hope and a chance to live.

So much so that they don't even have the right to rest in peace.

Those who walk this path will trample their corpses.

Chi Miao pursed her lips and remained silent.

Xian lowered her eyes slightly, her eyelashes concealing most of her emotions.

"If you're unwilling, I actually have a way to give you access to everyone's opportunities directly. It's not difficult, but... I just want to atone for my sins."

Chi Miao remained silent, simply squatting down and using his physical body, devoid of spiritual power, to begin digging in the ground.

she says:

"Only those who embark on this path need to atone."
