I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Otherwise, when she met Lin Yi again, she wouldn't have bothered him so much.

Half of it was an act for others to see, but the other half was her expression of her dissatisfaction.

She was angry, but she could also understand.

And now, she has done the same thing as Lin Yi.

She knew that what she was doing was definitely the right thing to do.

If this is done, Lin Yi will indeed find it difficult to accept, but if all the power is not handed over to Lin Yi, then Lin Yi's chances of winning this battle will be even smaller.

The Great Celestial Venerable is incredibly powerful. If Lin Yi dies in this battle outside, what is the point for those of us who are still alive?

The world will return to the control of the Great Celestial, and all their previous efforts will have been in vain.

Since this world is destined to have victims, the victim doesn't have to be Lin Yi; it could be her.

"Bixia, stop!"

Lin Yi felt it; when he held Bixia's hands, a power flowed into his body through her hands.

"Let's stop arguing. In these final moments, hold me tight."

Bixia knew that Lin Yi would be hurt, and she also knew that their argument was pointless.

Lin Yi wanted her to live, and she wanted Lin Yi to live.

If both of them could live, that would be the best outcome, and she certainly wanted to be in a loving and sweet relationship with Lin Yi.

Even if there were a few other people in the middle, she wouldn't mind.

But Heaven is merciless and will not change because of their feelings for each other.

Only one of them is destined to survive, and that person can only be Lin Yi.

For the sake of this world, and for her sake.

"Nearly ten thousand years have passed, and I can finally lie in your arms without any restraint. It's so good."

Bixia allowed her power to be transferred to Lin Yi. She looked at Lin Yi's profile with tenderness and pity in her eyes.

She knew what awaited Lin Yi, but she did it anyway.

In a way, she was a cruel woman.

In such a cruel moment, she felt a sense of warmth instead.

“Even if you don’t enter the cycle of reincarnation, I can still defeat the Great Celestial Venerable. Believe me.”

Lin Yi said firmly that Bixia had only given him her power and had not yet entered the cycle of reincarnation.

If he could think of a way, perhaps he could persuade Bixia.

Bixia knew his feelings, but still stubbornly shook her head.

The Earth Mother Heavenly Lord has left behind enough information in her legacy. Even if Lin Yi obtains all of her power, he may not be able to defeat the Great Heavenly Venerable.

It remains to be seen who will win between them.

But if Lin Yi lacks this part of her, he will definitely lose.

Bixia did not tell Lin Yi about these things.

She didn't have much time left and didn't want to waste it arguing with Lin Yi.

That day, she had so much to say, but didn't know where to begin with Lin Yi. Now, at the final moment of her life, she still has so much to say.

If you don't know where to start, just say whatever comes to mind.

After tonight, there won't be another chance to say it.

"Lin Yi, hug me tight, cherish the last moments we have together, and stop arguing pointlessly."

Lin Yi: "..."

"I know you're sad, but you can't abandon everyone for me, can you?"

Bixia leaned close to Lin Yi and said, "Everyone walks on a predetermined path of destiny. Perhaps, from the moment we met, our fates were already destined to be the same."

"If I could do it all over again, I would never go to Mount Tai again, nor would I speak ill of it."

"Can you bear to never see me again for the rest of your life? I can't do that."

Bixia hugged Lin Yi and whispered to him, "If I could do it all over again, I would have said I love you sooner, seen through my father's lies sooner, or, like Lingyi, given up my immortal body so that I could be your loving husband for a few years. That would have been worth it."

Back then, Bixia was too young. The Eastern Heavenly Emperor threatened her, saying that if she didn't break off her ties with Lin Yi, he would kill him.

Little did she know, how could a Heavenly Emperor dare to kill a King of Men?

Even if he wanted to do it, the laws of nature would never allow it.

It was precisely because of her ignorance that she was manipulated by the Eastern Heavenly Emperor.

The pain of bone-shaving is not something only Lingyi can endure.

Perhaps, watching your closest friend marry the love of your life is more painful than the pain of having your bones scraped.

"I actually envy Lingyi and am jealous of her. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have fallen into demonic possession."

Bixia spoke of the past she least wanted to face, and at the end of her life, she had gained a newfound courage to dissect her own heart.

She confessed that she became a demon because she felt that Lingyi had stolen something from her, and she was unwilling to face it but unable to escape it.

Do you know what I envy most about her?

"what?"

Lin Yi asked a question in response.

"It was her who made you cry. When you caught Lingyi falling from the sky and shed tears for her, I knew that the most important place in your heart had been taken away by Lingyi."

At that moment, I so wished I could switch places with her, even if it meant enduring twice the excruciating pain of having my bones scraped open, it would be better than the agonizing agony I felt then.

Lingyi's injuries were physical, but when she saw Lin Yi, her body ached, yet her heart was filled with sweetness.

Even if she died in Lin Yi's arms, she would still be sweet and happy.

For as long as she was with Lin Yi, he spoiled her.

Whenever Bixia heard these things, her teeth would ache from the pain.

It is said that a person's words are kind when they are about to die, but she started to pour out her sour thoughts, which made Lin Yi's nose tingle.

"At that time, I thought to myself, if one day you could cry for me, that would be great. If you could still shed tears for me, it would mean that you still love me."

Looking into Lin Yi's eyes, Bixia realized that she had gotten carried away with her emotions and talked about many things from the past. Lin Yi's eyes were already red, but she didn't know it.

She had longed to see this scene, and now she was seeing it, but she wasn't happy.

It was at this moment that she was able to truly understand Lingyi's feelings.

Lingyi may have felt sweet inside, but she was mostly worried.

Bixia raised her hand and gently stroked Lin Yi's face.

"I take back my wish. You still don't look good like this."

I hope you will always remain as spirited and extraordinary as you once were.

"I will."

Lin Yi's eyes were firm, and Bixia quickly changed the subject, no longer talking about the past, but instead talking about some interesting things that happened when she was in charge of the underworld.

She was referring to the time without Lin Yi's involvement. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years had passed, and looking back, she realized that more than nine thousand years had passed without her noticing.

Bixia seemed to have endless things to say, as if she wanted to say everything she had in her life in one night.

But time cannot be held back, and dawn slowly approached.

"Although my father had a bad temper, he was a fairly upright man and rarely did anything wrong. I hope you won't hold your past grievances against him. I was unfilial to him, but he won't be too sad if he finds out I'm dead."

"Once we defeat the Great Celestial Venerable, I'll trouble you to take good care of him and prevent other deities from bullying him."

Bixia was already speaking in the tone of giving her last wishes. The only people she couldn't let go of in this world, besides Lin Yi, were her parents.

At this point, she could only entrust the matter to Lin Yi.

“Your own father is your own responsibility. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll beat him every time I see him, so he’ll know what happens when he offends me.”

"That sounds pretty good."

Bixia smiled broadly, seemingly unafraid at all that her father would be beaten up by Lin Yi.

"It's almost dawn, my time is almost up."

Bixia's body visibly weakened.

Lin Yi was very familiar with this scene.

The same thing happened when Lingyi died.

"you……"

“I was afraid that my heart wasn’t firm enough, that I couldn’t bear to see you sad, and that I would be persuaded by you, so I wrote my name in the Book of Life and Death in advance.”

When Bixia was still a goddess, the Book of Life and Death was naturally ineffective. But when she relinquished all her power, leaving herself without the ability to resist the Book of Life and Death, this divine object, whose origins are unknown, would take her life.

Even with all his magical powers, Ren Linyi couldn't stop Bixia's life from passing away.

As the first rays of morning light shone into the room, Bixia quietly closed her eyes.

Lin Yi covered her with a blanket, assuming she was asleep for the time being.

"Wait for me to come back."

Lin Yi picked up the Demon-Slaying Sword and left the mortal realm alone without saying goodbye to the others.

When Lingyi died, he was powerless to help her. Even after searching the whole world, he could not find her spirit.

Now, Bixia is repeating the same mistake, but Lin Yi is not entirely without options.

He certainly doesn't have the ability to reverse life and death right now, but what if he kills the Great Celestial Venerable?

As long as he has the power to control the world, even if Bixia enters the cycle of reincarnation, he can still bring her back.

He must win this battle!

Lin Yi flew into the starry sky at a normal speed. As time passed, his belief in victory continued to grow stronger.
