"You cannot return to the ancient battlefield; everyone has already died," Peach Yao shook her head. "You are them, and they are you."
"Is it me? To nurture a person with infinite power using the life of a world inhabitant? Even the souls that have passed away cannot find peace, forever fighting against the outside world for the sake of world peace. Have you ever thought about them? Just to protect a so-called real world, what is real? Is what he creates real? Just because the War Souls of the ancient battlefield are prisoners from the outside world, does that mean they are not real? I want to leave here and focus on alchemy. Don't look for me; I won't seek any ancient divine aura either." Fengyin pulled Hibiscus and instantly disappeared from the spot.
"Benefactor, do you know? Your ancestors came from a very distant place, though I don't know where. They fought against the people here and lost; some escaped, while others were captured. Those who were left here entered the ancient battlefield to fight others again, living and dying repeatedly, but their souls will not fade away. Who were you in your previous life?"
"Yin'er. Don't leave me."
"Benefactor, I am just an incomplete soul; I am only one-third of myself. In the end, I will still be influenced by them. Even though I know they mean no harm, how I wish I could be my complete self."
"You are avoiding yourself," Hibiscus said with a smile. "There shouldn't be so many secrets between us."
"I've told you everything; I've even brought you to my most secret little planet where there are many spiritual materials." Fengyin was also confused, feeling that Hibiscus was hiding something behind her smile. Oh, it wasn't hiding something; it was just gathering strength.
"This place seems quite extraordinary."
"Yes, how I wish my Father God's world could gather spiritual energy again." Only then did Fengyin realize what she had said and fell into a daze. "Alright, I'll confess. The world created by God, which has been protected all along, was created by my Father God. However, the spiritual power of the world created by Father God was too strong, harboring much power that attracted the covetousness of extraterrestrials. Father God was forced to fight against them right here in the ancient battlefield and ultimately died from exhaustion. He left his last bit of power to me; one could say I am his daughter, a continuation of his life. Nevertheless, Father God's spiritual power dissipated and merged into various parts of the world; all spiritual energy on Earth has been sealed away. The only way to unlock it is to gather Father God's spiritual power so that I can break the seal."
"Don't say anymore about you and them; it's all you. You can't deceive yourself or me now."
"No, it's different. My spiritual power is within me; although they are stronger than me because they have never stopped cultivating, our current situation should be one of sisters understanding each other," Fengyin insisted. "I am who I am; isn't that who you like?"
"What you've been doing is right—protecting your father's legacy."
"By the way, Shang Guzi said that the bloodline of your Mu Family contains spiritual power, which means you can cultivate. Moreover, your father has made rapid progress; you might not even recognize him now."
"Such a miraculous thing?"
"With me around, what is this little miracle?" Ever since regaining his spiritual power, Fengyin seemed to come alive.
"You say this is your world? Why is the world you created so small?"
"That's because my main focus is still on protecting my Father God's planet. This place is just a refuge lost in the stars, providing a home for those from various different planets."
Hibiscus understood; Fengyin had returned to his original identity in his heart. The reason he said he was not a Goddess was probably because he disliked himself. Many people tend to dislike certain parts of themselves.
"Let's just live quietly here as a family."
"Sure, Benefactor. I love it here." Fengyin was also exceptionally joyful; after all, it was his own created planet, holding special feelings. On their way to Lingdong Mountain, he kept talking to Hibiscus, "The Shang Guzi here has the strongest spiritual power and is regarded as a Saint. He was just a crying little brat thousands of years ago, about the same size as Cold Heart."
Thinking of Cold Heart, Hibiscus couldn't help but smile. "I wonder how he is doing now?"
"Who are you talking about, Shang Guzi or Cold Heart?" Fengyin frowned. "You must be thinking of that little brat, Cold Heart."
"Then tell me, how is he now?"
"Well, he..." Fengyin hesitated and didn't dare to tell Hibiscus that his little servant was currently suffering.
"Let's go meet your parents." Though Fengyin said this, he thought to himself that He Huan was unusual.
Hibiscus was indeed taken aback when he saw Mu Yu; it turned out that his father looked like this when he was young, and Ji Yuyan beside him was thriving, rejuvenated.
"Son! Life here is truly too comfortable," Ji Yuyan said, holding Fengyin's hand. "Daughter-in-law, I heard that the chapters about your marriage were accidentally deleted? Hurry and ask the author to add them back."
"Jin'er, there are some things I haven't told you. Our Mu Family has waited for centuries just to leave that place. I never expected that in my lifetime, I would be able to leave there," Mu Yu sighed deeply. "This was originally something I would only tell you after you became the clan leader. That place is merely a battlefield; no matter how peaceful it may seem for years, it will always be a battlefield. Returning to our homeland is our true wish. We initially saw no hope, but unexpectedly, you managed to marry Fengyin."
"What a good daughter-in-law." Unlike Mu Yu, Ji Yuyan was not at all afraid of Fengyin's identity.
"Yin'er told me," Hibiscus nodded. So returning to the homeland is it?
"Do you know why our Mu Family has always passed down only one heir? It is to inherit a complete War Soul; indeed, what we did was right." Mu Yu, perhaps too happy, poured out wine and drank heartily with his son, while Ji Yuyan took Fengyin aside for a more detailed conversation.
"From the first glance at you, I felt you were extraordinary; who would have thought..."
Fengyin kept nodding but couldn't help thinking that isn't ginger supposed to be spicier as it gets older? But isn't she the old ginger herself?
The peaceful and warm days continued as Hibiscus's family lived very happily. With an ongoing desire for their homeland, they constantly improved their strength. Of course, Hibiscus, who possessed a War Soul, was trained harshly by Mu Yu. As for Fengyin, she brewed medicine and occasionally went to various celestial mountains to showcase her abilities and perform divine feats.
Extra: Cold Heart
"Murong?!" A handsome young man stood on the empty street, holding a cup of water. Upon closer inspection, this familiar-looking man was none other than the one who saved Hibiscus's life back in the Western Abyss. Later on, Hibiscus met Cold Heart and learned from Water Consort that Cold Heart was his savior. So this extraordinary-looking man is Cold Heart? But why has he returned to this state? And what is he searching for?
I am Cold Heart. Ever since I became conscious, I have lived in the desolate Underworld alongside Cold Crow. I have many good brothers; although they are dark and their singing is not pleasant, no one knows how devoted Cold Crow is as a creature. These are just things I've grown accustomed to over thousands of years; there's nothing much to say about it.
It is worth mentioning that our Western Abyss actually divides the world into three parts, presenting a situation of vying for supremacy.
Although Fusang is the nominal lord of the Western Abyss, he does not care about Nine Nether or the Land of the Cold Crows. Even though he always treats me coldly, I have always felt a sense of closeness to him. I once thought that Fusang and I were like brothers, always calling him my brother, and since he never objected, I took it as his tacit approval. The Lord of the Nine Nether is called Fusu. Although I have never seen her, it seems that there is a significant connection between Fusang and Fusu; their names are quite similar. I do not know why I am called Cold Heart, how I was born, or why it seems like they are family while I am an outsider. Am I the illegitimate child of Fusang and Fusu? Did they have a quarrel and abandon me? I pondered this for a long time, but although I am innocent, I am not that naive. Later, I met My Master, who said that I am a blank slate.
Yes, I am a blank slate; I am not their child. Moreover, how could I consider Fusang my brother if I were his and Fusu's illegitimate child?
I have always been curious about what Fusu is like; I just want to know. However, I have never been able to enter Nine Nether and have no idea what she looks like. One time, a Specter from Nine Nether chased me to my territory, so of course, I had to step in to protect my brother.
That day, I finally saw the Lord of the Nine Nether. Oh, I saw her phantom. Like Fusang, I felt a strange familiarity with her. Besides that familiarity, there was an unfamiliar feeling that perhaps my innocence prevented me from understanding. When her phantom vanished like a splash of water, I felt a bit uneasy and unsure of what to do. In that moment of confusion, I instinctively saved My Master; after all, I am also a lord of the Western Abyss—how could I serve an ordinary human?
When I discovered that my master was actually with her, I recognized her as my true master from the bottom of my heart. I remember that woman; I saw her tens of thousands of years ago. She is the Goddess; it is because of her that I exist. Of course, I am not her son; I do not know why this is the case. It was she who brought me to Cold Crow's side, but at that time, all I felt was fear toward her. She possesses immense power; I've seen her knock Fusang down to the ground without him saying a word. I've always thought of Fusang as a tough guy; if he respects and fears her to such an extent, then naturally, I fear her too.
Later on, I realized that this Fengyin seems different from the Goddess; she is gentle like the wind. Everyone knows this, so there’s no need for me to elaborate.
What I want to talk about is Lord of the Nine Nether Murong Fusu.
When I saw her again, it was actually her true form.
Because of seeing her, some memories surfaced—memories that seem to exist yet do not exist or have been forgotten. First, let me explain how I encountered her.
It seems that due to internal strife in Nine Nether, a Specter coveted the position of Lord of the Nine Nether. Oh no, it wasn't quite like that; she coveted Murong Fusu's body. But what body does Murong Fusu have? Her body is merely an illusion created from light; that Specter stole Murong's light butterfly.
However, what happened next was unexpected...
