During this free time, the true form of the Immortal Corpse also took other mirrors to examine them from other perspectives.

Looking back through the past, they searched for the legacy of the Time Immortal.

At the same time, they also learned about various things related to the immortal path from many secrets hidden in the past, and salvaged a lot of long-lost knowledge of the past.

During this time, Xi Heng learned about the rumors of the outer immortal realm and the Pale Immortal Slaughter from a bamboo scroll that had long since decayed at the bottom of a lake.

I also witnessed firsthand the appearance of the five-headed roarer more than a thousand years ago, and how the elixir was stolen and swallowed.

"The Five Roars of yesteryear believed that this was not the time for the birth of the Time Immortal, so they were unwilling to hand over the elixir, which was instead stolen by my avatar."

"The story might have turned out better back then; if there had been even a little room for maneuver, the void catastrophe wouldn't have occurred..."

"However, if the situation changes, it will break free from the cycle of cause and effect, and many unexpected things will happen."

"So be it."

By now, Xi Heng could almost be said to have learned all the secrets of the world.

Then, she casually turned her attention back to what she cared about most: her past self's stories and experiences.

At this moment, that past self has entered the Great Realm of Heaven and Earth, where they learned of the Void Calamity and accelerated their cultivation speed...

Over time, the scene in the mirror remained for over a hundred years.

The first world was corrupted by the calamity of the void, and the entire world was covered by the filth, which eventually gave birth from within to the annihilation calamity that was enough to destroy the world.

Yueyi, who knew her, tried to resist, while her past self returned to the Jade Toad Realm, preparing to reload her save and leave.

At this moment, the mortal corpse finally appeared beside me, and we chatted for a few words.

Now, as the immortal corpse Xi Heng observes from the sidelines, looking at his own doubtful expression from back then, he chuckles softly for what seems like the umpteenth time.

She has seen through her own past over hundreds of years and glimpsed secrets hidden for thousands of years, and her heart is now at peace.

Everything in the world seemed ordinary to her now.

Xi Heng had already understood what the Immortal Heart was and had almost perfected it.

When it is truly perfected, it will be the time when she leaves the mirror and returns to the real world outside, thus ascending to immortality.

"Now, it's just a little bit more."

As she spoke to herself, she suddenly saw her past self in the mirror looking at her and asking:

"In the world after I reload my save file, will you three corpses still exist?"

Xi Heng's true form recalled what the Immortal Corpse had said to him years ago, and calmly replied:

"It both exists and does not exist."

"Why?"

"When the cycle of cause and effect is fulfilled, the question of existence or non-existence will be definitively answered; before that, it is merely a matter of either existence or non-existence..."

These answers from his past memories were repeated by Xi Heng, who is now a celestial corpse.

Through the mirror, I responded to questions about my past self.

The fact that the protagonist of the story, whom she had watched for hundreds of years, was suddenly speaking to her gave her a strange feeling, as if the fourth wall had been broken.

Xi Heng tilted his head, then put the matter aside and continued to observe the savior lady who would save the void after the next save.

Watching the Pure Fire Cult transform into the self-construction of the White Phoenix and rapidly expand into vast swathes of the void, becoming a major organization that could not be ignored.

In the past, my own realm also improved rapidly, reaching the middle stage of the Dao Integration Realm and then the late stage in just a few hundred years.

Having acquired the power of a half-immortal, he merged with the Calamity of Death and the Calamity of Light together with Su Ziyuan. After adjustments and manipulations, the Calamity of Radiant Burial bloomed in the void and crashed into the place where the great calamities converged in the middle of the void.

After a long and protracted war, the calamity of Huizang was ultimately overcome.

Not long after, the radiant light expanded and spread throughout the entire void, before being balanced and restricted by the Savior Lady's division into the pure and impure parts.

Afterward, the past self returned to the save point of the initial encounter with the mortal corpse, chatted for a while, and then asked the mirror image where the observer was located:

"And tell me, how exactly should one sever the three corpses?"

The enemy is getting closer and closer to us.

Having nearly attained a perfect immortal heart, it is time to return to reality, truly attain enlightenment, and ascend to immortality.

Xi Heng, whose true form was extremely close to the 'Immortal Heart', felt only calmness, having long since lost any excitement, and simply felt that this was how it should be.

Just take a few more steps forward as usual, and you can ascend to the rank of 'Immortal'.

There's no need to rush, no need to catch up.

Xi Heng thought to herself—once she completes this cycle of becoming a Celestial Corpse, she will guide her past self, who is currently conversing with her, to also become a Celestial Corpse, and then return to the mortal world to finally become an immortal.

After thinking it over, he calmly repeated what the previous immortal corpse had said:

"You have successfully saved the world?"

"Why is everyone so concerned about this..." The person outside the mirror also uttered the same words as back then.

After a few brief words, the mortal corpse beside her also came over and greeted her, the immortal corpse:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xi Heng chuckled inwardly and gave a simple response:

"Yes, it's been a long time."

After speaking, he realized that he had given a different response than the Immortal Corpse from back then.

To change the subject, he continued to speak to his past self, saying what the Immortal Corpse should have said, and then directly severed the two-way connection with the past, only watching the other's posture unilaterally in the mirror.

Having undergone the Three Corpses Trial herself and gained the support of her mortal heart and her own heart, her immortal heart has also been condensed to a fairly complete state.

Furthermore, its compatibility with the laws of time and the universe has reached its peak, allowing it to be fully grasped simply by raising a hand.

Xi Heng changed the mirror and saw his past self. He came into the small wooden house and faced the final immortal corpse.

"I have already transcended the mortal heart and my own heart. Next, I should also sever you and pass the final trial of the immortal heart," she said from the other side of the mirror.

"In my eyes, the Immortal Heart Trial has already begun." The Immortal Heart Corpse, as the true form, calmly responded from within the mirror.

"When?"

"Before you arrived in this world."

"..."

Then, Xi Heng, who was the immortal corpse, also told the other party some past secrets and immortal inheritance.

The past behind the mirror continues to ask how to sever the immortal heart and corpse, and ultimately become an immortal.

Xi Heng simply smiled and said:

"You are now ready to become an immortal."

"Huh?" The other person tilted their head. "But I still have one of my three corpses to cut off. I'm clearly still a little short."

"You are mortal outside the mirror, but you become immortal when you enter the mirror."

"..."

After another conversation, just like the one Xi Heng's original self had experienced, and seeing the other party nod, she opened a door for the other party to enter the illusory reflection in the mirror, just as the Immortal Corpse had done to her before.

After watching the other party save their game, I tentatively reached out towards the illusory door, then took a deep breath and stepped inside.

This cycle of cause and effect is ultimately perfected.

As the immortal corpse, Xi Heng silently closed his eyes and activated the save-loading ability of the Time System.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the save file space, which was filled with gray mist.

She looked around at the familiar gray mist in this space, which seemed very similar to the gray ground and gray mist she had encountered on her way to sever her three corpses.

The condensed immortal heart saw through the reason:

"The establishment of this save file space, and even the entire reincarnation system, is all related to me."

"Perhaps it was created by the me who truly became an immortal."

The laws of time and the universe unfold within my mind, and I can already see the hazy silhouette of my future self as an immortal.

The other person naturally noticed her spying and waved slightly as a greeting.

"Is this also a cycle of reincarnation...?" Xi Heng murmured to himself.

Then he turned around and pressed the 'load' button on his finger for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

The pale blue text transformed into a visual image, and my finger tapped the save screen once more.

A sense of transience arises, and the white-haired girl closes her eyes, letting time lift her up.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the real world, back to the wooden house by the stream where he had met the immortal corpse.

Turning to look at the crystal mirror on the table, the Immortal Heart Corpse was gone.

He himself had already severed the Immortal Heart Corpse.

After becoming a celestial corpse and condensing a celestial heart, one returns to reality.

The so-called Immortal Corpse no longer exists in this world.

She was the severed immortal heart corpse, and also someone who was about to ascend to immortality after severing her three corpses.

“Yes, that’s me.” Luo Wei nodded.

"You mean, the cursed witch banished from eternity by the gods, the fire usurper who betrayed the flame of civilization, the evil witch who controls madness and reason, the towering ruler who coexists with the unspeakable abyss... is that you?"

Luo Wei thought for a moment, then nodded, "That's right."

"Then who am I?"

Volume 1: Chapter 446, Refining Oneself into an Immortal (Final Chapter)

"The three corpses have been severed, and the path to immortality has been opened... It is time to ascend."

After speaking to himself, Xi Heng slowly closed his eyes and began to introspect on his connection with the central hub of the Heavenly Dao of Time.

After obtaining the Immortal's Heart, time no longer has any so-called 'distance' between oneself and others.

It is not like a half-immortal who devours the Heavenly Dao, ultimately becoming only an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao without self-awareness.

Now that he has just gained the heart of immortality, even though he has not yet truly become an immortal, Xi Heng can feel that he and the Heavenly Dao are gradually losing their 'distinction'.

It is neither that humans transformed into the Way of Heaven, nor that the Way of Heaven transformed into humans.

Instead, the two will soon be unified into one—a True Immortal.

This feeling is extremely clear and is gradually intensifying.

Even if one does not actively embark on the path to immortality, the existence of the Immortal Heart will gradually complete it.

Meanwhile, Xi Heng's true form has already used his immortal heart to embark on the path to immortality and ascension.

As the Immortal Heart unfolded, in the blink of an eye, he went from the small wooden house where he had just severed the Immortal Heart's corpse to the Ocean of Time Currents.

This time, it was no longer an avatar created by the power of time, but the main body directly stepped into this realm where no actual matter should exist.

But the Sea of ​​Time did not reject it.

Today, Xi Heng is conceptually almost equivalent to time itself.

"This flowing, permeating, and imprisoning time of the entire mortal world seems to be gradually becoming a part of me," the white-haired girl realized.

Upon reaching this realm, the ring behind the neck gradually emerged, and the clothes on the body were enveloped in true energy, emitting a light color.

A sense of sublimation enveloped my entire body, just like when I first stepped into the world in the mirror and became a fake immortal.

However, this spiritual elevation in the present world is more real and clearer.

Xi Heng raised his hand and spread his five fingers towards the endless sea of ​​time before him.
