Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

It was as if some memory was about to break free from its shell.

Su Li felt as if her head was about to explode.

"boom......"

Another loud bang echoed through the sky.

The loud bang was like a dull thud, completely smashing open Su Li's skull.

Countless memories kept flooding into Su Li's mind.

During a harsh winter when he was starving and freezing, his master found him and took him to Yushang Peak, where he became a cultivator.

After his master left, he set up a fortune-telling stall and tried every possible way to earn more spirit stones so that Qianyun could cultivate better.

Su Li stood there blankly.

Five hundred years ago, one event after another that Su Li experienced kept flashing through her mind.

These memories are like a besieged, surging sea.

As a result, the dikes that were trapping the seawater suddenly broke apart and, with the surging water, flooded all the plains.

As Su Li's headache gradually subsided.

A glint flashed in Su Li's eyes.

Su Li stared blankly at her hands and her feet.

"I am Su Li, and I am also Su Li..."

Su Li muttered to himself, his expression filled with disbelief.

But why?

Didn't I perish in the final battle?

Why can I still be reincarnated?

Just as Su Li was filled with doubt, the winds and clouds between heaven and earth were constantly changing, and time in this world seemed to suddenly stand still.

The world turned black and white, and everything in the world seemed to have lost its proper color.

A woman slowly descended from the sky.

Su Li naturally remembered this woman.

Or rather, no matter what happens, Su Li will never forget this woman.

She was the woman who taught him the "God-Slaying Sword" technique.

It was after that great battle that he was the one who made him pull the longsword out of the Heavenly Dao Tree.

Although the woman claimed to be a sword spirit of the Primordial Sword.

But Su Li wasn't a fool. Su Li knew that this woman's identity was definitely not simple, at least not as simple as she claimed on the surface.

"Su Li, it's been a long time."

The woman, barefoot, approached Su Li.

"It has indeed been a long time," Su Li nodded. "It must have been a full five hundred years, right?"

"Yes, it's been five hundred years." The woman nodded, her eyes crinkling into a smile.

A distant memory flashed in the woman's eyes.

"What's going on?" Su Li asked.

What Su Li asked was naturally why she was still able to reincarnate.

In Su Li's view, she should be dead beyond any doubt.

The so-called reincarnation is nothing but a pipe dream.

"Because I helped you."

The girl had her hands behind her back.

"At that time, your soul was indeed shattered. In your words, it was the kind of thing that even a god couldn't save you from."

But I can still preserve your soul.

"So, am I even more powerful than a god?"

"..." Su Li was speechless for a moment.

Su Li had so many questions she wanted to ask.

But for a moment, Su Li found herself at a loss for words.

"Alright, alright, you've finally been reincarnated and finally found your original memories. You should be happier. There's no need to look so gloomy."

I know what you want to know, don't worry, I'll tell you everything.

The girl smiled and began to explain the cause and effect to Su Li.

Do you remember back then?

Back then, I did say that if you swung that sword, you might be annihilated, body and soul, and never be able to be reincarnated as a human again.

But ah.

I was just saying maybe.

It's something you yourself thought was "certain".

In fact, you still had the opportunity to be reincarnated back then.

However, I couldn't say that to you at the time.

Because the final strike you deliver must be made with the resolve to die, a determination with no way out.

But I wasn't lying to you, because I said maybe...

There's always a chance of something going wrong.

After you defeated Xu Wang, you used the Sword Ancestor's sword to sever your ties with this world completely, making everyone forget you.

This is indeed a very good idea.

At that time, the laws of the Great Dao will fill the gap on their own, and Su Li will no longer exist in the world. However, the world will continue to operate, and no one will feel any sense of unease.

But it's because I saved you.

Therefore, the world has not completely separated you.

You want to erase your own existence with a single sword strike.

But I saved you, so you can be reincarnated; you can indeed exist.

As a result, a contradiction arose in the fundamental laws of this world.

The Great Way chose a compromise.

That means your existence has been erased, but not completely.

To be more precise, it is your existence that has been sealed away.

So the more Qianyun and the others care about you, the more important you are to them, the stronger that sense of incongruity becomes.

Finally, the Way of Heaven provides some kind of unseen guidance.

You will eventually be reincarnated.

You will eventually come to this place too.

Once you arrive at this place, you will eventually regain your memories of your past life, and all the seals on you in this world will be broken.

All of this is the result of the seeds I planted five hundred years ago.

And now, it has simply come to fruition.

So, shouldn't you thank me?

If it weren't for me, you'd be finished!

The woman in front of me had a touch of playfulness.

"Thank you, young lady." Su Li bowed. "However, I have another very important question."

"Ask away, ask away, but I must say, you're really quite cute now. Were you this cute when you were little?" The woman seemed unable to resist pinching Su Li's cheeks.

"I want to ask you, who exactly are you?"

Su Li straightened up, looked at the woman in front of him, and asked her directly about her identity.

This woman can collect fragments of her own soul, allowing herself to be reincarnated again. This is definitely not something an ordinary sword spirit can do.

Although this sword spirit is very powerful, it definitely does not have such great authority!

"I am a sword spirit, that's for sure."

The woman blinked.

"I'm not lying to you, I just didn't tell you the whole story. Actually, I am also an incarnation of the Great Dao, and I manifest whenever there is a calamity in the world."

If the great calamity disappears, I will fall into a deep slumber.

But I've endured five hundred years without sleeping just to wait for you.

This is an extremely difficult task.

"Is the Great Dao conscious?"

Su Li asked, feeling quite incredulous.

At that time, Su Li did indeed see the legendary scenery of the Dao Integration Realm thanks to the Sword Ancestor.

However, Su Li realized that the Great Dao should be without consciousness.

“The Great Dao has no consciousness.” The woman shook her head. “If it has any consciousness, then perhaps it is the consciousness of the Great Dao itself.”

The woman's words were vague, yet they contained a touch of philosophy.

"Alright, there's no point in talking to you about this. I'm going to sleep now."

I will not wake up unless there is another calamity.

Of course, the best I could do would be to never wake up again.

"Su Li, goodbye. This world is one you created with your own hands, so enjoy it while you can. You deserve it more than anyone else."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman slowly vanished.

In this world, the black and white colors gradually faded, and all things gradually regained their original colors.

Meanwhile, everyone in the world who was connected with Su Li felt as if they had remembered something.

What did I remember?

It seems there was a man who stirred up the whole world.

Meanwhile, within the Henyi Sword Sect, Qianyun stood there blankly.

Su Li's conversation with the woman just now was in a state of time stoppage, so the people in the front yard were unaware of it.

However, the blank space in Qianyun's mind was gradually filled in.

Yes.

There is such a person, the most important person to me.

That person was his senior brother.

That person's name is...

"Su Li... Su Li... Senior Brother!"

Qianyun suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the little boy flying above the mountain peak. Her eyes flickered.

She knew that was her senior brother...

She looks exactly like her senior brother when he was a child!

Hearing Qianyun's call, Su Li turned around and smiled and waved at her:

"Hey, long time no see."
