After saying that, the girl drew out the water sword and thrust it directly into Li Mo's forehead.

Li Mo: “…”

"That won't kill me."

Li Mo held the sword on his forehead and was about to pull it out when he heard the girl remind him: "Wait, don't pull it out, you will die!"

The next second the girl realized how ridiculous what she had just said was. Wasn't the man in front of her longing for death?

"Honkai energy..."

Li Mo recognized the girl's ability to control water, but for an ordinary person, being able to control Honkai energy is extremely rare. Is it an innate talent? Or is it just a coincidence?

If placed in the previous civilization, it would definitely be a good warrior.

It seems that Mebius will conduct an upgrade experiment on a group of fusion warriors at the end of this year to make them more proficient in controlling Honkai energy.

I will most likely be one of the first experimenters. I won't die anyway. I'll wait until I die a few hundred times and the experiment is mature before I upgrade others.

End of the year?

"..."

Li Mo covered his head, his pupils trembling slightly.

When did this happen?

I'm making the past the present again...

If I continue like this, I will sooner or later forget the concept of time. I have to find Chi Yuan quickly and borrow Yu Duchen to use.

I hope Yu Duchen works for me...

Li Mo hesitated for a few seconds. He had been hypnotized by Yu Duchen before, but the conclusion was that Yu Duchen was completely unable to hypnotize him.

But hypnosis is hypnosis, and segmented memory is segmented memory.

Hypnosis involves dragging the consciousness into an illusion, while memory cutting acts on the memory area.

Li Mo prayed that the latter would be useful to him, otherwise it would be useless even if he found Chi Yuan.

"What is Honkai energy?" the girl asked doubtfully.

Li Mo shook his head and brought his thoughts back to reality.

"This is not something you should know. You were asked by the villagers to kill me, and you failed. But I want to know what your name is."

Li Mo threw the water sword on his forehead aside. After leaving the limbs of both parties, the water sword turned into a pool of stagnant water and collapsed lifelessly in the corner.

"Xiao Yun, my name is Xiao Yun."

"you are lying."

It was just a pseudonym. Li Mo had clearly heard before that the villagers were kidnapping a man named Li and urging him to let her daughter try it.

After hearing Li Mo's calm narration, Xiao Yun quickly explained, "My name is indeed Xiao Yun now. I used to be Li Dan, but some bad things happened along the way, so I changed my name to Xiao Yun..."

Li Mo raised his head and looked out the window at the villagers hiding behind the woods. Each of them had an expression of fear that was difficult to conceal.

The bad thing should refer to Xiao Yun gaining the power to control the water flow.

Born with stigmata?

Li Mo thought of a possibility. The innate stigma does have a chance of being activated after coming into contact with a large amount of Honkai energy.

If this is the case, Xiao Yun is a rare genius.

If placed in the previous civilization, it would definitely become the best among the fusion warrior forces.

Li Mo has a natural liking for fusion warriors, after all, they are all comrades.

"Everyone in this village seems to be very afraid of you. This inhuman power is beyond their closed minds. They think you are possessed by a demonic spirit. To avoid implicating your family, or perhaps to gain a completely new look, you chose to change your name to Xiao Yun."

Li Mo talked freely and told Xiao Yun's life story based on his own guesses.

Xiao Yun lowered his head and did not deny it.

Xiao Yun: "I plan to leave the village and join the army, so that everyone can return to their original lives."

Li Mo: "Joining the army could very well lead to your death on the battlefield. Aren't you afraid?"

Xiao Yun: "As long as I can achieve great things, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Li Mo: "So the reason you're willing to die is to achieve great things? To serve your country?"

Xiao Yun: "Not entirely. I'm not that great. It's just that if I leave, everyone should be happier than they are now. At least they won't have to worry anymore. If I'm lucky, I can even bring honor to our family and bring glory to my father."

Li Mo: "I see..."

Li Mo nodded in thought, his deep eyes filled with the faint, diffuse moonlight.

Voluntary death has a reason and is meaningful.

This is true for Cang Xuan Dan Zhu, and so are his comrades from the previous civilization.

He has not yet figured out why Danzhu gave up immortality and chose death, but there is undoubtedly an excellent candidate for the experiment now.

Perhaps, Li Mo can get the answer he wants from Xiao Yun's experience.

"Your name is Xiao Yun, right? Since you are ready to leave the village for the happiness of everyone, why not come with me?"

"Alas? Immortal, why do you say that? A mortal like me... Immortal, forgive my bluntness, but a mortal's life span is no more than a hundred years, a drop in the ocean compared to you, insignificant. Even if Xiao Yun wanted to, he couldn't stay with you for long. In the end, Immortal, you'll still be alone. In my humble opinion, an Immortal is better suited to saving the people. Leaving behind a legend worthy of the people's praise, so that everyone will remember you, is the best choice."

"That way, you'll never be forgotten."

Xiao Yun bowed and respectfully stated his views.

Li Mo had no interest in this proposal. The more he experienced in this world, the more complicated the memories in his mind became. Too many memories would easily clash with each other and contradict each other, and in the end he would not be able to tell where he was or who was who.

In the remaining time, Li Mo only has two choices.

One is to find Chi Yuan and use Yu Duchen to deal with the memory disorder. There is a certain failure rate, and Yu Duchen may not be able to cut his own memory.

The second is to find a way to die and a reason to die, just like Danzhu Cangxuan, and die voluntarily.

Xiao Yun is Li Mo's reference for exploring the cause of death.

“I don’t care if I’m remembered or not.”

"But..." Xiao Yun wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Mo before he could finish his words.

"No need to say more. From now on, you will neither age nor die. I will help you achieve immortality until you voluntarily die. During this time, you can do whatever you want, whether it's your hobbies, your dreams, or your passions... I won't stop you."

"You can fight bravely on the battlefield, or you can live a leisurely life in seclusion."

"And when the day comes that you wish to leave this world, I will need you to tell me the reason for your voluntary death."

"How about it, can you agree to it?"

Li Mo sat on the bed, looking at Xiao Yun with extremely serious eyes, without any joking tone.

Xiao Yun was stunned, and his stunned expression gradually turned cold.

"Then could the Immortal please let everyone in the village go?"

Obviously, Xiao Yun was still worried that he had not killed Li Mo. Once Li Mo became angry and took his anger out on the village, no one in the village would be spared.

"Okay." Li Mo said casually. He had no intention of massacring the entire village. It was just that they had such a strong imagination.

After hearing Li Mo's agreement, Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Immortality is quite tempting for any mortal, including her. Who can refuse to be forever young and full of energy and be able to try all kinds of things in life without restraint?

With this ability, she can go to the battlefield on behalf of her father to defend the country, achieve great achievements, be appreciated by the king, and win praise from the world.

"Okay, I agree!"

Xiao Yun answered with a firm look in his eyes, his scarlet eyes full of energy and impulse.

She seemed to be looking forward to an infinite future.

Once upon a time, Li Mo had seen the same look in Danzhu's eyes.

After learning that he and his sister Cang Xuan could live forever and remain young forever, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night and dragged Li Mo to the beach to pile up figures all night.

Li Mo clearly remembered every word she said at that time and every bright and joyful smile.

But Danzhu's every frown and smile followed the passing tide and returned to the silent ocean, without the glittering waves under the sky.

When another wave of tide comes, all that floats to the shore is the dark and decadent sea water, which tastes raw, bitter and salty.

Will Xiao Yun follow in Danzhu's footsteps?

Or is it that he relied on his immortality to leave countless ties in the human world and was ultimately reluctant to leave and die?

Li Mo didn't dare to make rash predictions about the future. He also wanted to see what the future would be like for someone with endless life.

"Fairy..."

"Just call me Mingyue."

"Well, Brother Mingyue? Can I ask why you're seeking death? I don't mean to offend you, I'm just curious. Brother Mingyue endured so much torture and still wanted to die, and asked me so many questions about life and death. Xiao Yun is really curious."

"...It's nothing to say. I have a close friend who chose death despite being immortal and living a happy life. I want to know why, that's all."

"Is that so... It's really puzzling. If you can laugh happily, you definitely won't want to die so easily. Since ancient times, eight out of ten kings, princes, generals, and ministers have sought immortality. I've never heard of anyone giving up immortality, abandoning all fame and ties, and voluntarily going to death. Uh, it seems I've said too much. Tomorrow I will go and say goodbye to my fellow villagers. In the future, I will let Brother Mingyue know the reason for voluntarily dying."

Xiao Yun patted his barren chest and swore with confidence.

Li Mo suddenly felt that the future seemed bright and worth looking forward to, so he couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to your answer."

Seeing Li Mo laughing, Xiao Yun couldn't help but smile innocently.

"Yeah! But I won't die so easily. Brother Mingyue, you have to wait!"

The amiable Li Mo made Xiao Yun bolder, unlike the villagers who always put pressure on, despised, and even slandered him.

Li Mo is like a mirror. He treats Xiao Yun the same way he treats him, reflecting the same light and the same attitude.

The next day, Xiao Yun bid farewell to his father and the people of his hometown, and traveled around China with Li Mo.

Xiao Yun took Ruoshui, a gift from Li Mo, and went out into the martial arts world for the first time. He tested the world with his sword and rarely met an opponent. Over the years, he traveled all over the ancient Shenzhou continent and defeated countless monsters and evil bandits with his sword.

During the Warring States Period, wars raged everywhere, and the State of Chu recruited soldiers to resist the invasion of the State of Song.

By chance, Li Mo and Xiao Yun were involved in this protracted war. As a spectator, Li Mo would not interfere in the world.

But Xiao Yun is different. She belongs to the Chu State, has the ability to control water, and is endowed with immortality by Li Mo, so she resolutely joins the army.

Two hundred years later, Li Er's red robe and long sword were the objects of fear in neighboring countries.

Xiao Yun won countless honors. The kings of Chu changed for several generations, but she was still the general of Chu, guarding the border.

He was revered as an immortal by the world, but was later strongly rejected by Xiao Yun. Even if the king persuaded him, saying that calling himself an immortal would benefit the people, Xiao Yun still called himself an immortal.

later.

Some people were puzzled. When the world was in chaos, why didn't they want to return to their country and enjoy a while? What was the point of staying in a desolate place? No country nearby dared to invade Chu.

Xiao Yun did not give any direct answer to this.

They just stayed at the border for a long time, defending their country with due diligence.

Every night he would go to Li Mo's room, drink a bowl of blood, and then share his recent insights.

Day after day, year after year.

She is a character in the play, and Li Mo is a spectator outside the play.

As time went by, the smile on Xiao Yun's face gradually disappeared. She had experienced too much and killed too much. She was no longer the passionate, patriotic, and ambitious person she once was.

Today, Xiao Yun still has a youthful face, fair skin, beautiful features, and a delicate figure. She is always in the prime of her life.

But the eyes can no longer hide the fatigue and weariness.

I've lived for too long and I'm really tired.

There were even several times when Xiao Yun was exhausted and shot through the heart by the enemy. He thought he was free, but he would always wake up soon and could not die.

After waking up, his face was full of disappointment and even despair.

This was the agreement she had made with Li Mo. Unless Xiao Yun was willing to die, Li Mo would save her from the underworld countless times.

Gradually, Xiao Yun became more and more numb. Even during the lively New Year, Xiao Yun was wandering on the streets like a walking corpse.

There was endless, boisterous cheering all around her, but there was no one she knew.
