After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Even the ruler of Loulan a thousand years ago couldn't escape it. It is the will of Heaven that even a madman as invincible as the ruler of Loulan... would surely perish.

“But I’m standing right here.” Tai Li’s words left Yun Shushu speechless.

Yun Shushu found it difficult to explain to girls just how heavy the words "the principles of heaven cannot be violated" truly were.

But... the girl standing in front of her was like a living negative example, refreshing Yun Shushu's understanding.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Shushu looked at the girl in front of her with concern.

Those who crawl out of the dead are bound to be incredibly fanatical.

There must be something in this mortal world that made her struggle to crawl out of death, something she absolutely had to care about, or perhaps...someone.

Yun Shushu wanted to turn around, following the girl's gaze.

But there's simply no way to do it.

A girl's energy is firmly locked onto herself; if she relaxes even slightly, she will surely lose.

"Do you really want to win?" he asked, looking at the girl in front of him.

"I must win."

He looked up; the cloak had slipped off during the clash between the two beings on the brink of life and death, revealing the girl's face...

She had the same pretty face as the current Holy Maiden of the Taiyi Sect, who was sitting at the head of the Taiyi Sect and was completely unable to calm down.

The girl has well-proportioned and pretty features; she is the kind of classic beauty.

But... those once cunning and lively eyes are now frighteningly lifeless.

In those eyes that couldn't see the end of the night... only a final glimmer of light remained, gazing back at her.

"Sister Shiyan...has distorted the laws of nature?"

"Did I entrust my life to her shoulders?"

“Oh, right—” The young girl wearing the prince’s crown smiled. “But you don’t need to worry about it so much.”

"She carries too many lives on her shoulders..."

"How can this be..."

"Huh?" Under the confused gaze of the young girl, the girl burst out, "Others are others... I am me..."

"I'm so sorry, Sister Shiyan, I'm so sorry, Sister..."

"So--"

"Lord of Destiny..." The girl looked up at the young girl in front of her, "What brings you here?"

"The Heavenly Mandate of the Ghost Valley Inner Sect..."

"There's no need for them to come and provide psychological counseling for someone like me."

"Aiya ya-" A smile appeared on the little girl's face, "Tai Li..."

"Do you crave power?" The slightly raised voice carried a seductive quality.

"I can make you very, very strong..."

"A power so strong it's unmatched in the world."

“I must win—” came the dry, resolute voice.

It was more resolute than any words Yun Shushu had ever heard.

“I made the people who are very important to me…very important people, my shadows.”

"And I..."

"But everything was wasted."

"Now……"

"I want to become the shadow of the person who carried me back from the brink of death." That's right, Tae-ri is Tae-ri.

And Sijing is actually... a dead zone.

"Before that—"

"I can't lose."

Lifeless eyes, then gradually rising in resolute words.

The girl's eyes in front of me were burning.

"And the cost?"

"There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world." As she finished speaking, the little girl wearing the prince's crown jumped down from the tree.

She stood on tiptoe, trying to pat Donghuang Li's shoulder, but... she missed.

By the time she floated into the air, Donghuang Li had already knelt down again.

Yunmengming could only slap her hand on Donghuang Li's head.

"The price..."

"Go die once—"

"Those who have died will not die again. If what God tells me is true... you will possess the most unparalleled power."

"After that..."

"You have to do something for me."

"What if... I really die?" Before falling into the abyss of death, Donghuang Li looked at the girl in front of her.

The girl's face radiated a kind of beauty that made Donghuang Li instinctively feel afraid...

It was as if all emotions had quietly subsided, and all things in the world were nothing more than indifferent duckweed and weeds.

"That--"

"The order of nature will then be restored."

"If you want to win so badly, then give it your all." Yun Shushu closed her folding fan.

He is a very principled person.

I also know... how to show respect to girls.

So even if he really wants to lose, he won't admit defeat.

on the contrary--

He will go all out even more.

As Yun Shushu raised his right hand, which was holding a folding fan, the green plants three feet below his feet suddenly began to grow almost wildly.

The towering vines reached straight into the sky in almost an instant.

Yun Shushu's figure was swallowed up by the greenery.

A flurry of spiritual leaves and branches lashed out at Tai Li.

That's no ordinary supernatural power.

Those spiritual leaves and branches would whip the body and then lash the soul, the pain enough to make a fierce Nascent Soul Realm man faint on the spot upon contact.

But... it's just pain, it won't cause any real harm.

This is probably the technique of Yun Shushu.

The strongest, offensive technique is derived from his unwillingness to hurt others.

However... it was somewhat beyond Yun Shushu's expectations.

The girl neither dodged nor flinched, nor even offered any defense, letting the thick spirit branch whip her body as she gracefully walked towards him.

Shi Yan did not know Yun Shushu's technique.

She only saw that Yun Shushu's supernatural powers did not cause any harm to Xiao A Li.

"Aren't you in pain?"

"I've already felt the pain." Raising her hand, she channeled her death energy and, for the first time... stopped a spiritual branch.

But it didn't work.

The spirit branch continued to lash out.

This is what makes the Cloud Book's supernatural power so special.

It won't cause any real damage, but... it's also impossible to parry or block.

There is nothing more painful in this world than death.

If there is... Tai Li looked at Shi Yan, who was looking at her intently, and gave a forced smile.

If it were possible, she would never let it happen.

Even if—

It goes against the natural order.

The girl had already passed through the vines, behind which the vines seemed to be reaching for the sky...

Standing there was a spirit antelope, almost entirely white except for its head, tail, and limbs, which were tinged with a hint of emerald green.

"You've already lost."

Because of the boy's previous respect, and because of his kindness and concern, Tai Li did not slap him directly.

Lingling slowly propped herself up, transforming into a gentle and refined young man.

"I did lose."

Because the towering green plants pierced through the gray clouds in the sky, rare... rays of sunlight leaked through the holes in the clouds, and the girl looked down at the training ground.

Shi Yan was already standing there.

He gave himself a big smile.

My fists were clenched, and my heart, which hadn't been so tense just moments before, suddenly started pounding wildly again.

It felt like going back to that summer.
