"I called you here today to show you something." As the saint spoke, a bright light rose from her hand.
"This is the last bit of memory I extracted from the Demon Lord's dissipated soul, and it is also the message he most wants to convey to me."
The Saint handed the light spot to Ran Ran with great care, "I have already looked at it in advance, and I am sure... this must be what you need."
Ranran couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that the key to her escape from this world lies in this tiny spot of light?
The saint smiled gently, and the way she looked at Ranran felt as if the Demon Lord had once looked at her.
"I know that all you want to do now is leave, that's why I called you here in the first place."
It was impossible not to be surprised. Before the Battle of Wushan, Ranran could never imagine that the Saint could become someone who cared about others.
"...Thank you." Ranran said sincerely, and then without any hesitation she placed the light spot on her forehead. At that moment she heard the saint sigh softly.
"I really don't want you to leave."
Ranran was startled, but the light spot had already been pressed into her brow by her fingertips, and all the tiny rays of light seemed to automatically blend into her skin.
In an instant, Ranran saw the Demon Lord’s memories before his death...that was about the origin of the Saint.
The baby in the Wuyuan Forbidden Land is true, and the fact that he has been able to play with ice and snow since childhood is also true. Everything the Demon Lord has publicized is true...
There was just one thing he did not make public, and after a thousand years, only a handful of people knew about it - the place where True Man Qingxiao died was Wuyuan.
When Ranran saw this, the theory of reincarnation that he had guessed before inevitably arose in his mind.
Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world? The place where Qingxiao Zhenren fell happened to be the place where the Saint Girl was born?
But the scene in the Demon Lord's memory that immediately appeared in Ranran's sight denied this.
As one of the insiders who had witnessed the Host Alliance's siege of Qingxiao Zhenren, the Demon Lord had the idea that the Saint was the reincarnation of Qingxiao the moment he discovered her.
From then on, he devoted himself to raising the saint girl to adulthood, while also making every effort to investigate this matter.
the answer is negative.
Before the death of True Man Qingxiao, the Endless Snowfield was not a forbidden area, nor was it a place without life. The reason why that place has become the desolate place it is today is because a thousand years ago, the Host Alliance was afraid that Qingxiao would come back to life, so they gathered almost the entire Host Alliance's strength and set up the Great Soul-Extinguishing Array in the Endless Snowfield.
The source of spiritual energy that maintains this huge formation is the original spiritual energy scattered throughout the vast expanse.
In other words, the host alliance drained the entire Wuyuan's spiritual energy just to set up a soul-killing formation to annihilate Qingxiao Zhenren.
And they did it.
Under such circumstances, True Person Qingxiao would not even be able to leave behind a remnant soul. Every inch of her body and even her soul would become nutrients to support this great formation.
A person was torn apart alive, bit by bit, and finally his entire life was spent in the formation that killed him.
Such a horrifying method was thought up by the Host Alliance, which considered itself to be a decent group of people, thousands of years ago.
Ran Ran broke out in a cold sweat as he watched, and at the same time a question came to his mind - what was the origin of that saint?
Her doubts were soon answered. After the Demon Lord visited the Wuyuan Forbidden Land many times, he was sure that... the Saint was the formation that imprisoned and killed Qingxiao Zhenren. This formation standing in the vast Wuyuan has gone through thousands of years, constantly absorbing spiritual energy from the surroundings to maintain its operation, until one day, the formation could no longer absorb any spiritual energy from this land... It did not disintegrate and turn into majestic spiritual energy to return to this land as expected by the people of the Host Alliance, but because of some coincidence that the Demon Lord could not imagine, it gave birth to spiritual intelligence and became a baby with life under the guidance of spiritual intelligence.
This is probably a miracle...and it should also be the wish of Master Qingxiao thousands of years ago.
She was unwilling to die in such humiliation and unwillingness. Even if her soul was dispersed, her soul might have already merged with the formation.
That nature of contempt for the secular world and rules was also reborn with the birth of the saint.
The Saint and Qing Xiao Zhenren are naturally two completely different people, but because of their unconventional nature, they are similar in what they do.
They also challenged the existing rules, but the difference was that the saint's methods were more violent and cruel.
Ran Ran suddenly realized that the saint who was sitting in front of her and could talk and smile was not a human at all! She was a magic array that absorbed spiritual energy! That was why she was unreasonable, indifferent, and always had a strong sense of inhumanity! That was why the spiritual energy in her body was expanding all the time, causing her great pain!
Therefore, what the Demon Lord must accomplish is to train the Saint into a real person!
Magical arrays, spiritual energy and everlasting obsession make up the flesh and blood of the saint, and what the devil hopes is that the saint can walk in this world as a real person.
Now that I have come to this world, I hope I will not waste this life!
The Demon Lord has done it.
Ran Ran raised his eyes to look at the saint, only to see her looking at him tenderly.
The saint clearly said that she really didn't want her to leave, but she still gave her this memory without reservation.
At this moment, the saint has transcended her own desires.
The reason why people are called human beings is that they are not just beasts driven by desires. They have reason and thoughts, the courage to do things even though they know they are impossible, and the tolerance and fulfillment to face their desires and suppress them for the sake of certain things.
Ranran had no doubt that the Saint before the Battle of Wushan would never give this memory to her, just as she herself said - she had changed.
Ranran looked at the saint and smiled back.
The saint stood up, then leaned over, looking seriously into Ranran's eyes.
"No matter what the future holds, I hope you will have the courage to be fearless..."
"I hope you achieve what you wish for."
Ranran said goodbye to the saint, but once she calmed down and thought about it, the thought that the saint was not human kept circling in her mind, like some kind of spell, circling around her every thought.
Ranran closed her eyes in pain, trying to calm her mind and get rid of all distracting thoughts, but those thoughts not only did not disappear, but became more and more turbulent in her sea of consciousness.
The black sea surface rolled and surged until huge waves appeared.
Ranran had a splitting headache, and she reached out to hold on to a red plum tree to keep her balance.
If this was a sign that she was regaining her memory, she didn't understand why it was so dark and had a completely different atmosphere from what she expected.
If this atmosphere itself is also a sign, does it mean...
Her regaining her memory is not a good thing at all?! (End of this chapter)
