Chapter 12645 Forgetting

Chapter 12645 Forgetting
Ye Chen said, "I was also curious, so I asked you to investigate the follow-up."

Jing Liyue hummed in agreement. She also wanted to know what would happen next, so she immediately made a few hand seals, and hundreds of shards of mirror flew up and quickly formed a mirror array around her body.

“I am now casting a spell to reflect beyond this world, which may deplete all my spiritual energy. You will need to provide sufficient resources to replenish it for me.”

Jing Liyue said.

"Yes, please rest assured, young lady."

Ye Chen took out two Destiny Stones.

Upon seeing this, Jing Liyue's eyes lit up immediately.

She was a discerning person; if she could obtain the Stone of Destiny, it would be much easier for her to cultivate the Reincarnation Technique and the Burial Word Technique with its assistance.

Ye Chen took out the Stone of Destiny to show his sincerity in cooperating.

Jing Liyue was naturally sincere as well, and immediately released her spiritual energy, pouring it into the hundreds of shards of mirror around her.

The hundreds of shards of glass swirled around her, displaying different scenes within them.

These scenes are all from outside the world.

Jing Liyue frowned, following the clues Ye Chen had just given her, only wanting to find scenes related to Ren Feifan and the Dao Ancestor Wushi.

As she continued her search, her spiritual energy was rapidly depleted. Her already pale face quickly turned deathly white, and even her lips were devoid of color.

Ye Chen knew she had exhausted a lot of energy and wanted to replenish her vitality, but seeing that she was at a critical moment in casting her spell, he did not dare to disturb her.

"found it!"

Jing Liyue searched high and low for the secrets of heaven, and it seemed that she had finally found something, letting out a sound of surprise.

Then, all the hundreds of mirrors around her reflected the same scene!
In the scene, an old man is dragging a wounded young man like a dead dog.

The old man was none other than the Dao Ancestor Wushi, and the young man was none other than Ren Feifan!

Ren Feifan looked as if he had fallen into a coma, or like a corpse, with his chest pierced and his body covered in wounds from which black blood flowed.

Strangely, he did not die; his eyes were still wide open, his eyeballs were still moving, and his eyes were full of resentment.

"You traitor, your very essence of life is truly stubborn!"

"I could kill you a thousand times over, and you still wouldn't die. You're something else!"

Wushi Daozu glanced at Ren Feifan and cursed helplessly.

When Ye Chen saw this scene, his heart tightened. Judging from the appearance, Ren Feifan had obviously been defeated by Wushi Daozu, but because of his abundant life essence, he was not killed, but only injured.

Wushi Daozu dragged Ren Feifan to a grove of trees, where they stopped to catch their breath and rest, silently waiting as if they were waiting for something.

"He seems to be waiting for someone. I... I can't hold on much longer."

Jing Liyue gasped, "Reflecting on the scenes outside the world is extremely taxing on me, and I'm almost at my limit."

"Someone's coming, hold on a little longer!"

Ye Chen saw several men in black walking towards him from the woods in the scene and said...

The men in black were all wearing masks and had chains wrapped around their arms; they looked sinister and terrifying.

"Damn it, you guys finally came."

"This traitor is yours to take back to the [Divine Tomb] and throw him into the Karmic Fire Prison."

"I refuse to believe that the Karmic Fire Prison can't burn him to death!"

Wushi Daozu cursed again and handed the battered Ren Feifan to the masked man in black with iron chains wrapped around his arms.

The men in black remained silent, like statues, and took Ren Feifan away without uttering a word.

When Ye Chen saw Ren Feifan being taken away, he felt anxious, but he also vaguely felt that the scene just now was a bit strange and incongruous.

The strange origin is the Primordial Dao Ancestor.

The Dao Ancestor Wushi was a kind and upright person, but the Dao Ancestor Wushi in the picture was full of foul language and looked very agitated, which was completely different from the Dao Ancestor Wushi in Ye Chen's memory.

Even if the Primordial Dao Ancestor was corrupted by chaos and his temperament changed drastically, there's no reason for him to change so quickly and so much.

"I...I can't hold on any longer."

At this moment, Jing Liyue also reached her limit. She gasped for breath, and all the hundreds of mirrors around her shattered. Her face turned pale, and her body was about to collapse.

"girl."

Ye Chen acted swiftly, immediately rushing over to catch Jing Liyue and prevent her from falling.

Then, Ye Chen crushed the two Destiny Stones, placed strands of spiritual energy from the Great Dao of Destiny on Jing Liyue's lower abdomen, and poured them into her dantian.

Nourished by the Stone of Destiny, Jing Liyue finally caught her breath, and some color returned to her pale face.

"call……"

"Really... I almost died."

"It is still too difficult to reflect the secrets of the heavens beyond this world."

Jing Liyue said with lingering fear.

"Girl, you can even see and summon the future Heavenly Demon of the Dao Ancestor of No End. Is it really that difficult to uncover such a heavenly secret?"

Ye Chen said.

Jing Liyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "I reflect the Dao Ancestor Wuzhong inside the temple. I am supported by the temple's earth veins, so I don't need to expend much of my own strength. Moreover, I have a large group of elders at my beck and call."

"Now I'm all alone, with no support at all. Wouldn't that kill me?"

Ye Chen said, "I see..."

Jing Liyue said, "It's all because of you. You were afraid of being harmed by me at the temple, so you chose this godforsaken place. I almost died just now, you know that?"

She was very intelligent and naturally knew that Ye Chen had chosen to meet her in this kind of place, rather than at the Temple of the End, for safety reasons.

Ye Chen said, "I'm sorry, it was my fault."

He could now see that Jing Liyue genuinely wanted to seek the Dao and had no intention of harming him whatsoever.

After all, Jing Liyue had just exhausted all her strength to reflect the secrets of heaven beyond the world, and was in a state of extreme weakness, completely unprepared for Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen wanted to harm her, he could have killed her with just one finger.

Jing Liyue said, "There's no need to apologize. It's normal for you to have concerns."

"After all, you don't have my supernatural powers."

"This young lady can see into people's hearts and know who is good and who is bad, but your divine authority seems to be lacking."

She was quite proud of this.

After all, her insight into human nature is currently superior to Ye Chen's.

She knew Ye Chen was a good person, which is why she trusted him without reservation just now.

But Ye Chen doesn't know whether she's good or evil, so we still need to be wary of her.

Ye Chen wanted to say that it wasn't that the Heavenly Heart Divine Power was inferior to her human heart's reflection, but rather that his cultivation was not yet sufficient to unleash the full power of the Heavenly Heart Divine Power.

But at this juncture, arguing with her was pointless, so I went along with her wishes:
"Yes, it is you who are better than me."

Hearing Ye Chen's compliment, Jing Liyue was overjoyed and said, "Alright, alright, you're very capable too. After all, I still need you to teach me the Burial Technique."

"Hmm, would you like me to become your apprentice? I'll call you Master?"

Ye Chen said, "That's not necessarily true."

He recalled the scene he had just witnessed: Ren Feifan being taken away by several men in black, to be taken to some kind of "Divine Tomb," and thrown into the Karmic Fire Tomb Prison. He felt somewhat uneasy.

Jing Liyue could see that he was uneasy, and asked, "Are you worried about Ren Feifan's safety?"

Ye Chen replied, "Yes."

Jing Liyue crossed her arms and said, "You don't need to worry about it anymore. He's definitely dead. You should think about how to revive him later."

"Well, if you're thrown into the Karmic Fire Tomb and burned to death by the Karmic Fire of the Divine Tomb, there won't be a single trace left, and you probably won't be able to be resurrected."

"Even after Ren Feifan dies and his traces of heavenly secrets are burned away, you will gradually forget him. He will completely disappear from your memory, and all traces will vanish from this world, as if he had never existed."

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine, recalling how, when he was annihilated by the abyss, all traces of him were also erased.

Is Ren Feifan about to suffer the same fate?
"What is the Divine Tomb, and what is the Karmic Fire Prison?"

"Who are those men in black with chains wrapped around their arms and wearing masks?"

"Please enlighten me, young lady."

Ye Chen asked solemnly, wanting to know the whole truth.
"I'm so tired, I need to rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Jing Liyue lay down directly, sprawled out on the shore, completely disregarding her image.

Ye Chen wanted to ask more questions, but Jing Liyue had just exerted so much energy and indeed needed to rest.

If he were to press further, it would only be a nuisance.

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Ye Chen sat down next to Jing Liyue.

Jing Liyue looked up at the sky, then at Ye Chen, and let out a long, comfortable sigh. She then murmured softly, as if in a dream:
"This feels so good."

“In front of you, I feel like I don’t need to pretend or restrain myself at all, and I can be as carefree as a little girl.”

"Hmm, if it weren't for that damned magic mirror that swallowed me, I should be a carefree little girl, right?"

"Even if the sky were to fall, my mother would be there to hold it up. I should have lived a free and peaceful life..."

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer until she fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Chen sat silently beside her, watching her.

The Red Sea was raging with storms and darkness, but the coastal environment was tranquil and peaceful.

Ye Chen couldn't sleep, waiting for Jing Liyue to wake up.

The next day, Jing Liyue opened her eyes, woke up, got up, stretched and yawned, and then greeted Ye Chen with a smile: "Good morning, Lord of Reincarnation."

Ye Chen said, "Good morning, young lady. Now you can tell me what a divine tomb is and what the Karmic Fire Prison is."

Jing Liyue smiled slightly and said, "It seems you care a lot about Ren Feifan."

"But is it possible that the Ren Feifan you saw was a fake?"

Ye Chen was startled and said, "Fake?"

Jing Liyue smiled and said, "Yes, when I reflected the celestial image, I felt something was a little strange."

"In the scene, both Ren Feifan and Wushi Daozu exude a strange aura."

"I suspect they are all fake, either evil gods or demons."

Ye Chen's eyes widened. Jing Liyue's statement was too shocking, and he was speechless for a moment.

“I suspect that the Dao Ancestor Wushi is not the Dao Ancestor Wushi at all, but another Dao Ancestor, Wuchen, one of the Three Dao Ancestors Wushi.”

Jing Liyue's eyes gleamed like mirrors, peering into the various causes and effects.

There are three Dao Ancestors: in addition to the Beginningless Dao Ancestor, there are also the Endless Dao Ancestor and the Dustless Dao Ancestor!
The body of Dao Ancestor Wuzhong is in the Temple of the End, so in this world, only Dao Ancestor Wuchen remains!

However, Wuchen Daozu had long been corrupted by chaos and had become an evil god.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he has a volatile temper and behaves eccentrically.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up as well. Indeed, he felt that the Wushi Dao Ancestor he saw did not seem like the real Wushi Dao Ancestor at all.

"As for Ren Feifan, I suspect he is a future demon, someone who descended from the future."

Jing Liyue made another bold guess: she was the one who reflected the secrets of heaven and knew more details than Ye Chen.

"A future demon?"

Ye Chen was shocked again. He remembered that when Ren Feifan went to the outside world to hunt down Emperor Jin Yu, he was first attacked by the Chaos Evil God Wuchen Daozu, and then lured out the Future Heavenly Demon.

It seems that the Dao Ancestor Wuchen and that future Heavenly Demon were connected long ago!
Jing Liyue made a gesture and said, "Of course, I'm just guessing. I don't know the truth either."

"However, even if Ren Feifan is the future Heavenly Demon, it cannot be said that he is completely fake."

"Because the future Heavenly Demon is also Ren Feifan, Ren Feifan in the form of the future Heavenly Demon."

"The Karmic Fire Prison in the [Tomb of the Gods] is an existence even more terrifying than purgatory, capable of burning away all the secrets of a person's past, present, and future."

"In other words, even if the future Ren Feifan is thrown into the Karmic Fire Tomb and burned to death, the present Ren Feifan will also perish along with him."

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "This Divine Tomb and Karmic Fire Prison are that powerful?"

Jing Liyue said, "Of course, the Divine Tomb is one of the twelve ancient god pathways, and it is also a huge force."

"The initial purpose of the God's Tomb was to establish a stable sanctuary, because the power of chaos was too terrifying. The ancient gods lived in chaos, unable to find peace or cultivate in peace."

"If one can sleep peacefully in the tomb of the gods, one can find peace. As long as one can fall into a sweet dream, the chaotic erosion one suffers from can be minimized."

"According to the vision of the progenitor of the Divine Tomb, there is an opportunity to break through the laws of chaos in dreams, thereby opening up chaos and establishing a new world."

She told Ye Chen ancient stories, stories from before the world existed.

Before the creation of chaos, the ancient gods fought with all their might to survive and to build a new world.

Ye Chen listened silently, lost in thought, without interrupting Jing Liyue's narration.

Jing Liyue continued, "The Divine Tomb still exists today, and it is an extremely large and powerful organization."

"Among the cultivators outside this world, half practice the Pillar God Technique, and the other half practice the Ancient God Technique."

"The Ancient God Methods are those twelve Ancient God Paths."

"The Tomb Sect, which originated from the Tomb of Gods path, is both righteous and evil. On one hand, they hunt down and bury out-of-control evil gods, and on the other hand, they attempt to cultivate controllable evil gods."

“If it were Ren Feifan in his normal state, they wouldn’t care.”

"So I guess that Ren Feifan is actually a Heavenly Demon, a future Heavenly Demon, so the Divine Tomb wants to take him in and plans to throw him into the Karmic Fire Tomb Prison to be cremated."

Jing Liyue continued to delve deeper into her conjecture, and her guess that Ren Feifan was a future Heavenly Demon was not without basis.

Firstly, Ren Feifan's aura was not pure and carried an eerie quality.

Secondly, the fact that even the Divine Tomb was willing to take Ren Feifan away means that Ren Feifan is not a normal person.

Although the actions of the Divine Tomb are somewhat strange and extreme, they are not evil or heretical. They will not harm ordinary people, much less indiscriminately kill innocent people.

The primary mission of the Divine Tomb is to hunt down out-of-control evil gods, strange creatures, or demons, and cremate or bury them to eradicate the scourge.

The fact that the Divine Tomb was willing to take Ren Feifan away and cremate him likely means that Ren Feifan himself was a celestial demon!
"The Karmic Fire Prison is the most terrifying purgatory in the God's Tomb, specifically designed to deal with those demons with exceptionally strong vitality."

"Those who are burned by the fire of karma will surely be reduced to nothingness in endless suffering."

"I estimate that it will be at most a year before the Demon Lord Ren Feifan is burned to death and reduced to ashes."

"As for the real Ren Feifan now, he will die along with him."

Jing Liyue added a few more words: the karmic fire of the Divine Tomb is extremely terrifying. Even if it only burns the future Ren Feifan to death, it will also cause the present Ren Feifan to be implicated and both of them to be reduced to ashes.

Ye Chen fell silent and deep in thought, organizing his thoughts.

If everything Jing Liyue said is true, then the truth is that what he saw was actually fake.

The Beginningless Dao Ancestor is not the Beginningless Dao Ancestor, but the Chaos Evil God, the Dustless Dao Ancestor.

Ren Feifan is not Ren Feifan, but the future Heavenly Demon, the future Ren Feifan.

The two had a dispute, and Dao Ancestor Wuchen injured and captured Tianmo Ren Feifan, handing him over to the Divine Tomb for disposal.

The God's Tomb intends to throw the Heavenly Demon Ren Feifan into the Karmic Fire Tomb Prison and burn him to death with the Karmic Fire of the God's Tomb.

The real Ren Feifan will also be implicated and reduced to ashes!
Ye Chen had only one thought in his mind: he couldn't watch Ren Feifan die!

Jing Liyue seemed to have guessed Ye Chen's thoughts and said, "You don't want to see Ren Feifan die, do you?"

Ye Chen replied, "Yes."

Jing Liyue said, "But there's nothing you can do. There's only one year left. Do you think you can ascend to immortality?"

Ye Chen remained silent. With only one year left, it was impossible for him to ascend to immortality.

Jing Liyue continued, "Even if you don't ascend and forcefully break through the heavens, without sufficient strength, you will still face certain death even if you reach beyond this world."

"Don't even talk about saving Ren Feifan, you can't even save yourself."

The environment outside the world is too harsh, and there are too many complex forces at play. If Ye Chen were to go out with his current cultivation level, it would be almost like courting death.

Although there are various dark conflicts on the other side of the starry sky, it is undoubtedly a pure land compared to the outside world.

Jing Liyue looked at Ye Chen, "So, stop overthinking it. Just calm down and teach me the Burial Technique!"

"As for Ren Feifan, he is doomed to die. There's no way to save him. You should think about how to revive him in the future."

"Of course, that's assuming you still remember him."

Those who are burned by the karmic fire of the Divine Tomb will have all traces of heavenly secrets destroyed. In other words, once Ren Feifan is reduced to ashes, Ye Chen will lose all memories of Ren Feifan!
He will forget everything!
