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

"So I should thank you instead," the silly guy said sarcastically.

Ye Xuanqiu chuckled upon hearing this, returning Ye Yuchan's gaze with the same hostility: "However, this still doesn't change the fact that you're just a tool. Compared to me, who has lived here for countless years, you're nothing but an inexperienced little girl. No wonder you're so incredibly stupid."

"Anyway, after the fusion, that meaningless memory will be erased, and your personality as Ye Yuchan will also disappear."

Is it meaningless...?

Ye Yuchan's eyes suddenly turned cold; the feeling of having one's existence denied was far from pleasant.

However, she did not immediately retaliate, firstly because she estimated that she was no match for Ye Xuanqiu, and secondly because Yun Ping beside her had not yet spoken.

The young man in white stood against the backdrop of the void, closed his eyes, and recalled everything he had just seen, from the beginning of creation to the present day. He then slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Xuanqiu in front of him, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"So, why did you specifically show us such an exaggerated documentary?"

indeed.

Ye Xuanqiu's actions merely revealed the original truth to the two of them, but what does that have to do with her purpose?

At least from this long period of time, all Yunping saw was Ye Xuanqiu's and his own experiences, which had nothing to do with why Ye Xuanqiu was pursuing the Twenty-One Extremes.

Ye Xuanqiu already had a considerable understanding of Yunping, and Yunping's inner thoughts were easy for her to grasp. She smiled faintly and said, "It's just using the past to reflect on the future."

“Through the past, we reflect on the future…” Ye Yuchan repeated softly, feeling a strange flutter in her heart for some reason.

hum~

The sound of bells.

The sound of bells came from an unknown source.

Ripples spreading rapidly across the surface of the void, layer upon layer, Ye Xuan Qiulian walked lightly and gracefully, a hint of stubbornness incomprehensible to the world blooming on her face: a slight upturn of the corners of her mouth, strolling in this boundless void.

"Having died in these two lifetimes, I am almost immune to death... No, it would be self-deception to say that. No one is without fear of death, but for us, the death of the body and the soul is not a pure death at all."

"Muscle memory and thought patterns are both part of the self. So here I pose a very basic question—if someone loses all their past memories, and their soul is completely cleansed and placed into another body, is they still considered alive?"

Ye Yuchan was completely taken aback by Ye Xuanqiu's sudden philosophical question, blinking blankly and asking, "Huh?"

Ye Xuanqiu rolled her eyes at the fool, then looked at Yunping with deep affection: "Husband, I'm asking you a question."

Do you think Ye Xuanqiu and Ye Sheng are the same person?

Judging from the essence of things, the answer is obvious: yes.

Whether it's Ye Xuanqiu or Ye Sheng, they are both Origin Ancestors.

It's all about the woman in front of me.

However, whether in terms of memories, personality, or appearance, Ye Sheng and Ye Xuanqiu are two completely different beings, and everything they experienced from birth to death was also completely different.

It's like the same piece of paper being dyed in two different colors. Although they are both pieces of paper, one can be a vibrant and stunning oil painting, while the other can be a detailed and artistic abstract painting.

Are they the same?

Faced with Yun Ping's silence, Ye Xuanqiu chuckled again and said, "Just like your beloved disciple, Zhang Ruoxue, right? Her previous life should have been called Qu Wenxue. Theoretically speaking, they do share the same body, but can they really be considered the same person?"

"Duan Xingchen's grandfather, the Holy Profound Gold, has already died, but because its essence is the Twenty-One Ultimate, it will return to the Kunxuan after death. The Kunxuan can then create the Twenty-One Ultimate again. But will the Holy Profound Gold at that time still be Duan Xingchen's grandfather?"

“We are the ancestral source, my husband.”

Ye Xuanqiu flicked her hand and stared at Yun Ping with a murderous expression: "Indeed, we possess almost endless life. Even now, with the help of Kunxuan's power, I can theoretically continue to live indefinitely."

"But look around—"

She opened her arms, presenting this purest void to Yunping and Ye Yuchan.

“You should be able to see that it is completely different from the beginning of creation.”

Ye Yuchan and Yun Ping scanned the void ahead, and with just one glance, they could see the changes in this void.

The starlight is dwindling, and the dust in the world is slowly disappearing. These original carriers of spiritual energy are gradually vanishing and dying out.

Nothing can live forever.

Ye Xuanqiu said.

"The three great celestial realms will eventually disappear and wither away. Although we can be reborn again and again, just as you have done, each death brings the erasure of memories."

"That would be too incomplete."

Those dazzling eyes slowly fell silent. Ye Xuanqiu lowered her eyelids with a hint of pain, and after a few seconds of contemplation, she slowly opened them again. However, what she held in them was no longer loneliness and solitude, but an indescribable determination.

"I need immortality."

"As an individual, I will live on forever, without losing my memories or my past. There will be no reincarnation, no past or future lives. All I will have is my purest self."

"True immortality."

In an instant.

Yunping suddenly recalled what Tai Baiqiu had told him.

During Emperor Wen's reign, before Ye Xuanqiu died, she had uttered similar words to the sky.

She chose a short death in order to achieve immortality.

Ye Yuchan was still a little confused: "Wait a minute, didn't you say... nothing can live forever? What if the universe explodes, you'll die too..."

Faced with Ye Yuchan's question, Ye Xuanqiu simply smiled and glanced at Yun Ping.

“My husband’s actions have given me great inspiration.”

“Ye Xuanqiu and Ye Sheng are indeed different people. That’s because from the moment they were born, they did not inherit the memories of the previous generation. But my husband is different. You used the method of resurrection to bury your memories and personality into a brand new body. The moment you woke up, you accepted everything from the past.”

"To put it bluntly, it's just copying and pasting, and then extending it into a new life."

Yunping narrowed his eyes: "To put it more clearly, this is called loading a save file."

Ye Yuchan: "What do you mean? I'm confused."

Yunping went up and shot Ye Yuchan, that idiot, in the head: "How many times have I told you, stop discussing intelligence with Ruoxue. Look, you're an idiot now."

"You're talking in such mysterious terms, how am I supposed to know what you mean!" Ye Yuchan covered her head, looking utterly aggrieved.

Yunping helplessly spread his hands and then explained, "To put it more vividly, what she did was play the same game with the same person. After completing the first playthrough, she didn't play the second playthrough and started a new game."

"What I did was play through the game a second time after finishing it, and I even carried over my save data. I started with equipment that had 999 stats, the kind that could take down two hundred kids with one hit."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan's eyes immediately lit up. "I think I understand now."

But before she could even catch her breath, the little girl's mind started racing again: "Wait a minute, what if the game shuts down? Everyone'll be gone by then, so where's the immortality?"

"Good question."

Yunping smiled slightly: "This thing is just like the constant version updates, eventually leading to an explosion of numerical values, and then the server eventually crashes due to disrepair, forcing the game to shut down - the essence of the world is pretty much the same as potato servers."

"Oh dear, it seems my husband understands quite well now." Ye Xuanqiu smiled sweetly at Yunping.

Yunping gave him a deadpan look: "If I still can't see it after you've explained it to me this much, then I've taught Ruoxue to be stupid."

"But I still want to ask, since you didn't use the 'load save' method to be reborn, how did you know that you were once Ye Sheng and Ye Xuanqiu?"

"Kunxuan told me."

At this point, Ye Xuanqiu was too lazy to hide it any longer: "Kunxuan played almost all of my past videos, but since it was from an outsider's perspective, it was still a bit uncomfortable, so it can't really be considered my own memories."

"I see."

Feeling ignored, Ye Yuchan quickly said, "Wait, you old rogue, hurry up and explain! What if this game shuts down? Also, isn't Twenty-One Extreme a game administrator? Why is she arresting game administrators for no reason?"

The look of disdain for an idiot immediately appeared in Yunping's eyes. He glared at his silly daughter and said irritably, "Use your little brain to think about it. If you were the company's CEO and this game was about to shut down, how would you save it?"

"Uh...didn't you say the server was about to crash? So...can we set up a new server?"

"What's the difference between that and creating a new save file?"

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"It's very simple—"

Yunping gave a wry smile, having to admit that Ye Xuanqiu's idea was indeed a bit far-fetched.

No, it's more accurate to say it was unexpected yet reasonable.

He stared at Ye Xuanqiu, and she stared back at him; their gazes collided in mid-air.

Yunping slowly opened his mouth, revealing Ye Xuanqiu's true purpose.

"The only way to preserve data and keep the game running, without setting up new servers or extending the game's lifespan..."

"That's reverse gear, to put it simply—"

"She wants to launch a classic server."

Classic servers...

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan's eyes lit up with surprise.

"Wait, you mean—"

"Yes."

In the void.

The stunning woman in white smiled radiantly.

“I’ve said before that her goal is reincarnation, but not reincarnation of herself.”

"She wants to reset... to reincarnate the entire world."

71. My answer was only one word.

Reset the world.

This was Ye Xuanqiu's purpose.

As long as she can retain her memories and personality while resetting, then what she has achieved is immortality in the absolute sense.

Perhaps this universe will one day perish. Nothing can live forever, and eternity is a false proposition in a fundamental sense. But if we can reset it before this universe is destroyed, we can achieve another form of eternity.

Taking an unconventional approach.

"You guessed right this time."

Ye Xuanqiu gazed at Yunping with a charming smile, her eyes filled with boundless love.
