Chapter 625 The Bright Moon Shines (5)
Chapter 625 The Bright Moon Shines (5)
I deliberately nearly got killed several times in front of her by the people sent by the sect to hunt us down, and kept pitifully begging her to save me. I am innocent, I did nothing wrong.
My senior sister promised me that she would protect me and find out the truth. She told me not to be afraid.
I stroked her face as she slept, exhausted, tears welling in my eyes, the pain almost suffocating me.
Pursued by the sect, I died in the most tragic way by the sword of a disciple of the Discipline Hall.
No bones remain.
My senior sister was crying so hard, I've never seen her so sad before, it was as if the whole world had abandoned her.
I almost couldn't resist rushing out to hug her tightly, confessing everything to her and atoning for my sins.
But I can't, absolutely not.
The mark of the fallen demon finally began to appear faintly on her forehead, and I thought I was about to succeed.
However, I was wrong.
My senior sister never gave up on finding the truth, and she did find it.
When she came to see me carrying a sword and stepping on a field full of spiritual flowers, it was just like a sacred deity descending a divine oracle of destiny.
"Why?" she demanded, her eyes bloodshot.
I looked down at the cold blade of the sword in her hand, my smile bleak yet satisfied: "Senior sister, kill me, and fall into demonic ways."
"I killed your junior brother with my own hands. Show no mercy. Let your Heavenly Sword be stained with my blood..."
I am willing, I am willing to offer my whole being as a sacrifice to my god.
But why——
Why was the blood on the sword's edge not mine, but my senior sister's?
I held her helplessly and collapsed against her limp body, which was about to turn cold, my mind blank.
"don't want……"
"Don't do this to me, senior sister..."
With red eyes, I stood there, dazed and humbly pleading with her.
My senior sister held my hand tightly, her eyes becoming exceptionally clear and bright. She said to me, "I'm sorry, Ayou."
Full of guilt.
But what is it that my senior sister feels guilty about?
All the sins and transgressions were committed willingly by me.
I am trapped in an endless cycle of fate, repeatedly seeking a way to save my senior sister, only to watch her close her eyes again and again before my very eyes.
With each reincarnation, the length of time spent going back to the beginning changes. Sometimes I see my senior sister again, only to see her fall before my eyes. Other times, I am still just an infant, and I have to wait a very long time before I can find her.
Deception, imprisonment, killing, and even attempts to single-handedly resist the calamity of immortals and demons—whether they are vicious villains or saints in the eyes of the world who are fearless of death, I will not hesitate.
But it's no use.
No matter what I did, my senior sister couldn't escape her tragic end.
A deep despair enveloped my heart, layer upon layer, but I dared not break down. My senior sister was still waiting for me; she was waiting for me to save her. I had to save her.
Perhaps it was heaven's mercy on me.
Perhaps it was heaven's mercy that finally took pity on her.
In yet another cycle of reincarnation, a celestial book appeared before me.
Up there, I saw the truth of this world.
Or rather, it's about the truth about my senior sister and her destined tragic death.
The heavenly book said, "She could have lived longer, until the end of this world. Unfortunately, she was too rebellious. Rebellious children always have to face severe consequences."
I stumbled backward in disbelief, then collapsed to my knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
If this is the destiny that Heaven set from the very beginning.
If this is the ultimate truth.
What should I do?
How can I save the girl I love?
"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is hidden away. Nothing is truly unchangeable. Change is constant, and this is the way of Heaven."
"Do you really want to save her? Are you willing to give everything?"
I excitedly replied, "I'll do anything! Tell me, tell me how!"
"It's very simple. Just find three sacrifices to exchange for her life. You can give her an excellent destiny of living forever. However, I remind you that the sacrifices will cease to exist after the life exchange, disappearing forever into the annals of history. They will never be born, never die, and will not remain in anyone's memory. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I am sure."
The Heavenly Book says that the world is divided into three realms: Heaven, Earth, and Man. The sacrificial offerings are meant to be the equivalent of these three realms.
The only equivalent of life is life itself.
Only when one is willing can a sacrifice be made.
In subsequent reincarnations, I continued to search for these three things, often at the cost of being separated from my senior sister by vast distances.
But as long as I think that if I succeed in changing her fate, she can live for thousands of years without any worries, and become an immortal or a god, I can endure the longing for her in my heart.
Actually, when I decided to search for the sacrifice, I should have distanced myself from her and never appeared before her again. She wouldn't recognize me, and therefore wouldn't feel the heartache of loss. But I couldn't help it; I had to see her one more time…
Persistence pays off. In one of her cycles, my senior sister saved a girl and her parents under a locust tree. The girl grew up, married, had children, and lived a long and happy life together. Just as her life was about to end, I appeared before her.
When I mentioned the kindness I had shown her back then, she agreed without hesitation.
Heaven, Earth, Man, Man—these are the souls of mortals and vengeful ghosts.
For the soul of an ordinary mortal to become a vengeful ghost, it must endure hellish torment, suffer torture for eternity, and at the moment of death, repeatedly transform back into a vengeful ghost, returning to the sealed land. When it encounters its destined master for sacrifice, it will be reborn as a human again, repeating the cycle until the moment it disappears.
If Senior Sister Shi were here, she would rather die than agree.
I sincerely thank this young lady.
But I won't be soft-hearted.
Once the sealing formation was activated, I hid her in the most dangerous yet safest forbidden area of Qiming Mountain.
Heaven, Earth, Man—these are the souls of the great demon.
Great demons usually lurk in remote places, waiting for the moment to break through and ascend. Moreover, demons are inherently ruthless and have a natural resource-hostile relationship with human cultivators. It is almost impossible for a rare great demon to willingly sacrifice itself to save a human cultivator.
I searched for a very long time and finally found someone.
That was the extremely mysterious and powerful fox clan of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Because their ancestors relied on the lineage of the gods, they were arrogant and conceited, angering the gods and incurring a divine curse, which would subject them to the punishment of having their bones removed for 132 generations on earth, thus ending their lineage.
I know my senior sister's true background; the heavenly lightning she summoned has the effect of breaking curses. I set a trap, luring my senior sister to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, so that she would witness the tragic fate of the fox clan firsthand.
Just as I expected, my senior sister couldn't bear it and stepped in to help them.
The grace of saving my clan was a gift from the demon's soul; this was the deal between me and Hu Yuheng, the eldest prince of the fox clan.
I have marked his demon soul. No matter how many times he is reincarnated, as long as I am still here and my blood is still flowing, he will have to acknowledge this deal.
