I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

Suddenly, just as Zheng Xin's thought flashed through her mind, a scene appeared abruptly in her head.

It was a mountain, a huge, green mountain peak, a mountain she knew very well.

"Hmm? This is... the Yellow lineage... Great Yellow Peak?" she murmured, her gaze unconsciously turning in one direction.

"Could it be?" As if he had thought of something important, after a moment of contemplation, a resolute look appeared in his eyes, and he immediately got up and walked in that direction.

Little did he know that about seven days after she left, Zheng Mo's figure suddenly appeared here.

He was dressed in hemp clothing, his expression resolute.

In silence, when he first saw this place, he felt an indescribable feeling...

Perhaps it was because he sensed that someone very important to him had been here.

However, besides this feeling, it was as if the scene he saw when Zheng Xin was born was about to appear as well. In his mind, fragments of a broken scene appeared.

"This is……"

It took him a while to calm himself down.

"Child, no matter what, I will find you." After saying that, he randomly picked a direction and walked straight there.

Whether it was a coincidence or something else...

The direction he was heading was exactly where Zheng Xin was going... Big Yellow Beetle.

……

A mountain peak that looks exactly like the Great Yellow Peak, but with no one around.

Zheng Xin had been here for almost ten days, but still hadn't gained anything, which deepened his doubts.

"What's going on? I have a feeling there should be some clues about that thing here, but why?"

"No, I can't let myself get confused."

"Since I can't find what I'm looking for here, I can't waste any more time here."

Suddenly, just as Zheng Xin had this thought, a map appeared in his mind once again.

Zheng Xin was startled, her expression suddenly changing: "The Demonic Sect? The handwriting is too blurry to read."

After pondering deeply for a long time, she gradually calmed down. At that moment, Zheng Xin seemed to understand something...

"Does this mean I have to go through every place in my memory that is meaningful to me in order to find a clue?"

"If that's really the case..."

Suddenly, a resolute look appeared on Zheng Xin's face: "Then I'll go and see. I don't believe I can't find a single clue."

After speaking, Zheng Xin got up and walked towards the direction of the Demonic Sect in her mind.

Ten days later, Zheng Mo also arrived at the Great Yellow Peak.

He frowned, and in his mind, another fragment seemed to rise from the depths of his consciousness and combine with the previous one.

"Her presence can be felt here too."

Zheng Mo frowned and stepped onto his path once more.

Time passed, and another ten days went by.

It was in a dark cave in a valley that resembled the Demon Sect.

Zheng Xin already had a general idea of ​​where she was going next, because she already knew the place she was going to next from her memory.

However, he was waiting for a hint.

He wasn't in a hurry; he knew that some things couldn't be rushed.

And as he waited, the image reappeared in his mind once again.

"There's a small town?"

Zheng Xin got up and set off without hesitation toward the small town in her mind.

Not long after, Zheng Mo arrived at this valley and this cave. However, the only difference between this time and the previous two times was that he and Zheng Xin left only one day apart.

"It really is! Her presence is here."

"Could it be that God is helping me?"

As he finished speaking, his gaze unconsciously drifted to the sky, but the sky was a hazy gray, seemingly empty.

"No, it must be something else, related to the fragments in my brain."

"But what is it?"

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Finding my daughter is more important."

At this moment, another fragment came together in his mind, but he had already chosen to ignore it for the time being.

There's a small town, very far away.

It took Zheng Xin about a month just to walk.

She stayed in a small town for a year before leaving.

Because Zheng Mo had no accurate memory, it took him one year and twenty-nine days to arrive in this small town.

Just like last time, she was only one day away from Zheng Xin.

Zheng Xin then traveled to the Desolate Region and the Desolate Dust City.

The two places were far apart, and five years passed as Zheng Xin practiced her cultivation while walking.

Five years later, Zheng Mo had more and more wrinkles, and his back was not straight. Apart from his firm eyes, he looked a bit old.

He didn't give up and continued searching for Zheng Xin because he had promised his wife that he would bring his child back.

Perhaps only on the road does he feel like a father.

During this period, the fragments in his mind were slowly piecing together. Although he still couldn't see clearly, they were beginning to take shape.

Next stop, the Ming Shen Sect area of ​​the Tianxuan Earth Realm.

However, Zheng Xin did not enter that area; she only paused for a while in some surrounding locations.

After that, Zheng Mo arrived. It took him five years to get here, and when he started anew, he looked even older.

As the fragments in his mind came together, he seemed to see something, but he couldn't quite believe it.

Because that matter is not yet complete.

Because he still had to go and find him.

After Emperor Shenzong of Ming, there was Phoenix Valley.

Finding this valley was extremely difficult; even with Zheng Xin's memory, it took almost two years to finally find it.

Like the Ming Shen Sect, this valley's terrain and appearance do indeed resemble the Phoenix Maiden Valley, but the force within it is not a demonic sect, but rather the Phoenix Gate.

Moreover, she infiltrated this sect and stayed there for quite some time.

During this time, he learned that the sect leader was named Ye Hua, and that he later took on a disciple named Liu Xi.

Zheng Xin had absolutely no memory of this person, except for a few familiar features.

This is truly astonishing!

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the four years that followed, Ye Hua passed away, and Liu Xi became the sect leader. Then one day, a man she knew very well, yet had no memory of, arrived at this place under the guidance of the sect leader.

But Zheng Xin felt she should leave, and in the end, she left without hesitation.

But she was still unaware that shortly after she left, the Phoenix Gate was embroiled in a major battle.

Furthermore, Zheng Mo, who had already turned white-haired and become a full-fledged old man, also witnessed this battle on that day.

And after so many years, only one piece of the fragments in his mind is missing.

Finally, a faint sense of understanding appeared on his face. Although he didn't fully comprehend it, he had already made a decision.

He decided to stop pursuing Zheng Xin... He planned to return to his hometown.

It wasn't that he gave up, but that he knew Zheng Xin was about to go back.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that this would be the last time...

……

Midnight is the beginning and the end of a day...

The crimson sky marks both the dawn and the dusk of a new day…

As the wheel of time turns, will we no longer hesitate?

Can you see that person's face clearly now?

Will we find the answer by opening the door to our imagination?

And who was it that couldn't see through the illusion of a mirage, like the figure that has now faded into the distance, blurred in the eyes of others?

Or perhaps it was someone who saw through that fleeting beauty, like someone caught in the midst of prosperity, who didn't look back, watching the clouds and smoke drift by, smiling as they lowered their head and snapped their fingers.

Perhaps the dust that dances in the blink of an eye is a brilliance unseen by others, but one knows that this fleeting moment is but a blink of an eye, and years in the world are but a moment in the blink of an eye.

Finally, I will stop thinking and reminiscing, and let that past beauty remain forever in my heart, untouched by reality or by truth or falsehood. I will leave myself with a beautiful memory and others with a lasting attachment.

After all, what is severed is the will in one's heart; what remains unbroken is the persistent thought that others have been clinging to from afar...

Zheng Mo was just an ordinary person, and given his advanced age, another year had passed by the time he returned to his hometown.

He returned at midnight.

Zhou Zhou never saw him again; he vanished like the wind, gone, no longer existing...

After so many years, not many people in his hometown know Zheng Mo anymore. It can be said that in the course of an ordinary person's life, there are not many things that can be remembered.

After returning to his hometown, Zheng Mo rarely went out again, just like an old man, no longer going out...

Not many people came to see the old man, except for some elderly people like him...

However, Zheng Mo kept his loneliness hidden in his heart...

Nothing remains, nothing that could have been...
