Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"This idiot has sleepwalked through time."

69. The Origin and End of Time Travel.

One of the three primordial ancestors at the origin, in a state of half-sleep and half-awake, unknowingly stumbled into that snow-white rift.

No one knows where this rift leads, not even the Kunxuan Ancestor who personally explored it—he only knows that the significance of its existence transcends this universe.

Even with his abilities as the Origin Ancestor, he couldn't fully decipher this rift. Kunxuan could only vaguely sense that half of the rift was connected to him, as for the other half...

Forget about understanding it, the laws governing the other half of the rift were completely chaotic and illogical to Kunxuan. Yet, this thing existed perfectly intact, forcing Kunxuan to acknowledge its existence.

To be honest, even Kunxuan himself didn't know what he had come up with.

Even a fool would understand that Kunxuan had gotten himself into trouble.

His ancestor, who shared the same origin as him, darted into the white rift in the blink of an eye and then completely disappeared from this universe. Kunxuan even spent a little time exploring whether the little brat still had any traces left behind.

The result was no.

They left completely, not even a hair was left behind.

Kunxuan was completely bewildered.

This was the most bewildered he had ever been in all his long years as the creator god.

He lost his ancestral lineage.

However, this was not the end. The most terrifying climax occurred shortly after Kunxuan's stunned state...

Another white light spot in the void rushed toward the white crack that had not yet fully shrunk with lightning speed. It was as if it was sprinting with all its might, and its speed was no slower than that of Yun Ping, the sleepwalking idiot.

This time, Kunxuan realized what was happening. Having learned from the old rogue's mistake, he dared not be negligent. He immediately used his own Origin Ancestor power, even commanding the surrounding heaven and earth to obscure the Origin Ancestor light that was also preparing to squeeze into the crevice.

Unlike the sleepwalking maniac Yun Ping, the primordial light represented by Ye Xuanqiu seemed to have its own consciousness. Moreover, its judgment and speed were particularly astonishing. Instead of choosing a straight path to the end, it began to contend with the dust that had gathered between heaven and earth.

Yes, maneuvering.

It looked like they were playing a game of tag, their movements were incredibly agile and swift, their movements so unpredictable that they could be described as bizarre.

A glint of light flashed in Yun Ping's uniquely dead fish eyes as he looked at Ye Xuanqiu before him and said, "So you were sleepwalking too?"

"Ahem, no, that's not it." Ye Xuanqiu smiled awkwardly, then turned her face away, choosing not to meet Yun Ping's gaze, and slowly said, "At that time, my intelligence was not fully developed. If you really want to count, I can only say that I had just woken up."

"Then why did you crawl in too?"

"I don't know either." At this point, Ye Xuanqiu helplessly spread her hands and said, "I don't remember what I was thinking at the time very clearly. Maybe it was because as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a sleepwalker rushing towards that gap like a madman. I didn't know who I was or what I was going to do, but I saw you rush over, so I just rushed over too."

The old rogue's lips twitched violently: "What kind of twisted logic is that..."

“Newborn babies will choose to learn the actions and words of other people, that’s roughly the idea,” Ye Xuanqiu said calmly. “Of course, my husband can also understand it as human sperm liking to swim towards the direction where the egg is located.”

"Wasn't your analogy a little too bizarre?"

"I was just educating some idiot." Ye Xuanqiu glanced at Ye Yuchan indifferently and said, "According to my memory, this person still believed that kissing would lead to unwanted pregnancy before high school."

Ye Yuchan: "..."

Ye Yuchan remained completely unresponsive to Ye Xuanqiu's somewhat sharp mocking words.

She didn't even look at Ye Xuanqiu, but stared straight at the ancestral light that kept flashing, bending and swiftly escaping in front of her, her eyes shining with understanding.

"Old rascal!"

Ye Yuchan suddenly exclaimed, then pointed at the primordial light spot in front of her like an excited, silly child, and said, "Look, look! So that's when I maxed out my evasion talent! There's a reason why I could only run when I first started!"

Yunping: "..."

Ye Xuanqiu: "..."

Damn, that's so stupid.

Ye Xuanqiu slapped herself on the forehead, wondering what had gone wrong with her to cause such a silly half-body to split off.

It was at this time that...

The primordial light, which evaded the pursuit of the heaven and earth dust with its bizarre posture and extremely terrifying evasion talent, actually managed to evade Kunxuan's interception and then rushed towards the door of the rift.

It may have thought it had already succeeded, and thus overlooked the sudden burst of brilliant light.

As Kunxuan's best assistant and also a part of Kunxuan, Hongmeng arrived at the crucial moment and seized the latter half of the primordial light just as it mistakenly thought it had escaped.

Unfortunately, Hongmeng arrived a step too late; the first half of the primordial light point had already disappeared into the rift.

Despite Hongmeng and Kunxuan's attempts to pull it all out, an indescribable force kept hindering them. In the end, with no other choice, Kunxuan had to use the power of the Origin Ancestor to close the rift gate.

Closing the rift gate takes an exceptionally long time. Otherwise, Kunxuan would have closed the rift gate the moment the primordial light tried to escape. However, some of the laws within the gate are not under his control, making complete merging a difficult task.

Finally, as the rift disappeared and the white light rippled, everything returned to its original state, leaving only a small patch of absolutely chaotic space, and...

The primordial light point that was torn in two by the rift gate.

Upon seeing this scene, the slight confusion in Yunping's eyes finally turned into certainty and understanding.

Ye Yuchan blinked, her tone a mix of grievance and helplessness: "Kunxuan is so cruel, I just split open like this..."

Ye Xuanqiu rolled her eyes at this idiot and continued, "You were the one who squeezed into the white crevice, while the part that Kunxuan left behind was me."

Yunping's expression revealed understanding. He crossed his arms, and memories of the past surfaced in his eyes: "So that's why, even though we were both primordial ancestors, it was me who became an immortal, not you..."

"Whether it's Ye Sheng or Ye Xuanqiu, my soul is incomplete. Even if I do possess remarkable talent, I still cannot reach the level you have."

Upon hearing Ye Xuanqiu's words, Yunping fell into deep thought.

He had always thought that Ye Yuchan, this silly person, was split off after Ye Xuanqiu died, but now it seems that this is not the case.

If Ye Xuanqiu was whole before that, why did she, as the Origin Ancestor, never cultivate to become a True Immortal? If both of them were Origin Ancestors, then why was Yunping able to cultivate to become a True Immortal, while Ye Xuanqiu's strength and realm might not even be as good as a Half-Immortal?

Then why did he clearly sense that Ye Xuanqiu's cultivation level was far higher than that of a half-immortal during that battle in the airspace?

This doubt only arose for a moment before Yunping resolved it himself.

The answer is simple.

Kunxuan is helping her.

"So, this is the truth about time travel..."

Ye Yuchan murmured in bewilderment, never imagining that she had such a powerful background.

She had initially thought she was nothing more than a vessel, a tool for resurrection, but now that she sees it this way...

Wow, she's so capable!

Suddenly I felt a little bloated.

"Well, you can probably guess what happened next."

Ye Xuanqiu silently snapped her fingers. This time, she chose to provide commentary in conjunction with the background.

After Yunping and Ye Yuchan went to another world, Ye Xuanqiu, who was left behind, became half asleep and half awake. Since it was impossible to communicate with her, Kunxuan simply threw his ancestral companion into the three great heavens to see if this remnant soul ancestor could evolve into himself through the changes of time.

The results were encouraging; the remnant soul of the primordial ancestor did indeed begin to slowly develop sentience and started to transform into the Wild Race, which is the form of humans...

During this long period of time, Kunxuan continued to study the Void Domain in order to make up for his mistakes. He even placed multiple seals on the Void Domain and kept the key on his person in order to prevent the previous incident from happening again.

Just as the remnant soul of the Primordial Ancestor was about to evolve into a human, Kunxuan finally finished analyzing that part of the rift and, to the best of his ability, used his Primordial Ancestor power to call back his Primordial Ancestor companion from the rift.

However, what they brought back was a simple-minded creature with a face exactly like that of the Wild Tribe.

At this moment, Kunxuan suddenly realized that his ancestor had probably gone to another world and completed his evolution in that world. He wondered if it was a coincidence, but the creature he evolved into was human!

Moreover, perhaps because crossing the Rift Gate consumed too much energy, the primordial power within him had to subside. In the end, in order to awaken this dormant power, Kunxuan simply threw him into the Three Great Heavenly Domains.

"This is the first time Kunxuan has opened the Rift Gate and summoned you back." Ye Xuanqiu, in her guise as an interpreter, said to Yunping, "You should know what happened after that. You met me when I was still Ye Sheng, and then you followed the trend of the times and became the Martial Emperor."

"After my death, my soul was only a wisp, making it especially vulnerable. Therefore, Kunxuan took it in and protected it. You, on the other hand, used your own method to resurrect yourself, but at that time, your ancestral power was not fully activated, so it took a little too long..."

"However, the ending hasn't changed. In the second life, I am Ye Xuanqiu and you are Xuan Lei, and we still collide."

"It's just that you almost killed Hongmeng later, and Kunxuan was so angry that he took action to kill you. He knew that you wouldn't die, and even if you really died, your essence would remain, so Kunxuan had no worries when he attacked you."

"And shortly after you were resurrected as Yunping, the airspace experienced an unprecedented upheaval."

"And this time, the upheaval—"

Behind Ye Xuanqiu, a dazzling white light burst forth from the void and chaotic space.

She glanced at Ye Yuchan with some displeasure and slowly uttered a sentence:

"Because the two worlds have different time flows, countless years have passed here, but only a few years have passed on your side."

"But it cannot be denied that Kunxuan has succeeded once again."

"He opened the rift gate in the void a second time, bringing forth half of me, which is you... Ye Yuchan—"

"Recall successful."

A silly remark from the rest of my life: Finally, my worldview is complete...

As for Ye Xuanqiu's ultimate goal... see you in the next chapter.

70. Ye Xuanqiu's Greed

From this perspective, Kunxuan, the first to awaken, went to great lengths for his two ancestral companions.

One is sleepwalking, the other is neurotic. These two ancestral companions have never given him a moment's peace since their birth. They've been traversing and splitting apart, fiddling around and in the end, and they even almost turned around and killed his own split body, Hongmeng.

My head hurts, it really hurts like hell.

After looking around, Ye Yuchan realized that Kunxuan was the one who had put in the most effort but received the least appreciation, much like an older brother who had to take care of his two younger siblings.

Watching the other half of the primordial light, which Kunxuan had summoned back for the second time, slowly sink into the desolate heaven domain, Ye Yuchan felt an unprecedented sympathy for this primordial ancestor who created the world.

However, problems soon followed.

"So why didn't we... um, merge at this point?"

Gazing at the half-point of primordial light gradually disappearing into the currents of the Desolate Heaven Domain, Ye Yuchan couldn't help but ask.

Judging from her logic, since she and Ye Xuanqiu have both returned, Kunxuan should immediately find a way to glue them together with super glue.

Ye Xuanqiu's gaze fell on the silver-haired girl with a puzzled expression. After pondering for a while, she said, "For various reasons, I had only been dead for a short time at that time. My soul was still in an incomplete state and quite weak, so I did not directly merge with you."
