After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

In Yun Susu's innate destiny, there is that shining "Martial Saint" mark.

"What...?"

Yun Susu is Mo Shu.

Mo Shu... is Yun Susu.

Shi Yan suddenly thought of his rather brief encounter with Yun Susu.

I... do seem to have said that to her—

Something like forbidding someone from attacking you first.

"Really..."

She had actually thought that it was an agreement between the tavern owner and her master... who was also the Lord of Loulan.

but--

When the jade dragon appeared in Shi Yan's field of vision.

The lines... seemed to have all been connected at once.

Even... the layout of Yun Susu's room and the layout of the second floor of the tavern, which was extremely similar to a study, seemed to be connected together.

Very similar—

You could even say... exactly the same.

However, Yun Susu's desk is only big enough for one girl to lie down on.

The tavern owner's desk was large enough that Shi Yan could lie down on it with her without any problem.

Shi Yan suddenly recalled what Yun Susu said when she was being bullied by him and almost fell off the desk.

In the future... I need to get a bigger desk.

Moreover, the girl seemed to have already mentioned this when she taught herself about the "seventeen-year cicada"—

The world is a merciless yardstick, and the "seventeen-year cicada"... is the key to rebelling against that yardstick.

When I was practicing the "Seventeen-Year Cicada" technique, I almost fell into the river of time.

If Yun Susu hadn't risked her life to sever her own soul and forcibly free Shi Yan from the river of time, Shi Yan might have been lost forever in the dust of time.

Going back a thousand years isn't scary.

What's truly terrifying... Shi Yan suddenly recalled what Mo Shu had said during her final battle with Jun Qianrou.

"I have lived for far too long."

"It lasted so long that it suffocated me."

"So long..."

"It made me forget my former name."

"Forgot the past."

"Forgot everything."

Shi Yan dared not imagine how long she had gone through.

But even under such circumstances, she still remembered—

"Shi Yan is not dead."

And... the promise between myself and her.

"You must not take the initiative to attack Shi Yan."

Lying on his back on the black grass, Shi Yan covered his eyes with his right hand and gave a bitter laugh that was almost tragic.

Beside her, Tenri sat obediently on his knees, completely unaware of what this guy was going on about.

Although Shi Yan did not understand how Yun Susu returned to the past.

but--

"You've done a great job."

She lowered her hand and opened her bright red eyes.

Before them, swirling clouds stretched out, marking the stream at the foot of the Small Sword Peak of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect.

The naked Shi Yan suddenly came back to life and stood at the foot of Little Sword Peak. She slowly...slowly...pulled the Demon Blade that had once pierced her chest from the soil.

After the distortion and shackles of destiny were removed.

The overwhelming love emanating from that demonic blade instantly wrapped around Shi Yan's arm.

The aura of death emanated from Shi Yan as an overly tight cheongsam, seemingly wanting to accentuate even her abs and biceps.

Just like—

Her first encounter with the tavern owner.

"Next..."

"Leave it to me."

Within the realm of death, Tianming watched Shiyan disappear into the realm of death and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Regardless of Shi Yan's reasons for returning to the mortal world.

In short... as long as she gets back, that's all that matters.

It's just colluding with the Heavenly Demon; at worst, I'll just turn a blind eye in the future.

Although... colluding with the Heavenly Demon is indeed terrifying.

However, it's still much better than being completely destroyed.

If it weren't for the constraints of the Outer Heavens, preventing beings like the Pure Color Mandala from directly descending into the mortal world...

The mortal world may have already been ruined by those otherworldly demons who take pleasure in human nature and desire.

but--

Even so... the mortal world was almost ruined by the Pure Color Mandala.

The fact that "The Demon Lord of One Lifetime" is so powerful and appeared ahead of schedule... and reappeared again, is all thanks to that guy's "contribution".

It could even be said that... the "Eternal Demon Lord" was the last shackle that existed to restrain destiny and the demons beyond the realm of the gods.

One—

A shackle that leads to mutual destruction.

If there were no more cultivators in this mortal world.

Then the will of destiny will eventually fade away.

Similarly... the impact that the extraterrestrial demons could have would be negligible.

However... Fate has been trying its best to prevent such a thing from happening.

Something seems to be sprouting inside me.

"She...longed...to exist..."

"Or perhaps... it's a longing... to live."

The girl, who looked like Yunmeng, looked down at her hands.

I don't know when it started, but it seems that I... have also been influenced by the extraterrestrial demons.

Did it all begin with that guy called Pure Color Mandala wreaking havoc on the mortal world?

No... it seems to have been much, much longer ago.

When I was being stared at by those eyes.

Even today, recalling that feeling still makes Tianming feel "afraid" and "tremble with fear".

That kind of gaze, looking down on you with indifference from outside the world.

That kind of terrifying yet overwhelming will.

That feeling of helplessness... it's as if the other person has seen through you completely, inside and out, past and future.

If the Pure Color Mandala Destiny still harbors any thoughts of resistance.

So……

That statue—

Even thinking about her makes Tianming feel like he's almost going crazy.

She didn't even need to attack herself.

As soon as she tries to "squeeze" into this world, the entire mortal realm is ruined, turning into a pink purgatory.

But... it seems it was also because of that one glance.

It allowed even the principles of Heaven to possess a tiny bit of their own will.

The girl with the appearance of Yunmeng slowly got up.

Even though she didn't feel any soreness in her thighs from kneeling for too long, the girl still imitated the movements from Yunmengming's memory, gently rubbing the soft flesh on her thighs.

She's becoming more and more like a person.

Destiny is preparing to leave the deadly realm.

The deadly realm is far too dangerous for Destiny...

But... just then, she suddenly saw that the originally gloomy sky in the deadly realm had been changed color.

It turned into a nebula.

A nebula that was particularly dazzling, shimmering with a magnificent crimson light.

She suddenly fell into a state of extreme panic.

Destiny recognized that crimson nebula that did not belong to this world.

She knew... who it was.
