Su Ruolan never imagined that her life would be so tumultuous. She had thought of herself as an ordinary woman, one who enjoyed tales of talented scholars and beautiful women, believing in the accumulation and cycles of life. Now, she realized that it was far from that.
Out of nowhere, she had become a savior-like figure, a burden too heavy for her to bear. All she wanted was to save her child. Speaking of which, Wei—she wondered how she was doing.
"Reset, are you there? If you are, please respond."
"Ruo Lan, I'm here." The connection with Reset had finally been restored. "Ruo Lan, you don't blame me, do you?"
"You know everything that happened before? Is it all true? I wasn't deceived by an illusion?" Su Ruolan felt immense joy at Reset's return. If there was anything in this world that made her feel a sense of belonging akin to family, it was Reset.
"Yes, what you experienced earlier was not an illusion; it was an image left by the former princess. That’s also why I was blocked when I entered here. In my past life, I was the guardian of the princess, and as that secret spell merged with my new reincarnated soul, I became both the original me and a new version of myself. The original me was completely obedient to the princess and never questioned her. In this life, I will be loyal to you as well, but more like family. I will stand by you no matter what decisions you make, Ruo Lan," Reset said solemnly.
"Thank you, Reset. Everything that just happened overwhelmed me; I really couldn't accept it at first. You were once a system—if I can't upgrade, does that mean I only have a month left to live?" Su Ruolan suddenly thought of this question.
"That is true. Before your awakening, due to the incompleteness of your soul, there were flaws in our contract. You needed to continuously enhance your energy to compensate for this imperfection. If your soul becomes complete, then our contract will truly succeed, and you won't have to worry about life issues anymore unless faced with a fatal blow. Under normal circumstances, your life should be secure," Reset explained without reservation.
"Does that mean all your seals have been lifted? Can all your abilities be fully unleashed? What is the way to save Wei?" Su Ruolan asked.
"Actually, you may not have realized this: some time ago, your body and mind were stimulated and rejected me and this body. Kong Xiang, Cheng Xi, and Bat King were all greatly affected and nearly fell into madness. Also, there's something important I need to tell you: your baby is not actually a real baby; he is a fragment of soul power derived from your bloodline heritage, manifested as a fetus nearly seven months old. Wei is not real either; she is a soul entity separated from the poison and bloodline that once resided within you. Please don't be too sad," Reset said cautiously.
Su Ruolan was stunned; it couldn't be true! How could such a lovely child not be real? "I don't believe it! Even if they are just soul entities, since they already possess new souls and bodies, they are independent beings. I must save them! One is my hard-earned child born from my struggles; the other is one I carried for seven months—I cannot erase their existence! I must save them!"
"Ruo Lan, I will definitely help you. To save them, you can only merge with the remaining fragment of the original princess's soul. Only then can we unlock the inheritance and activate the secret skills needed to save Wei and the baby." Looking at the determined Su Ruolan filled Reset with immense satisfaction. No matter how many years had passed or what changes had occurred within their souls, the original princess's steadfastness, kindness, and sense of mission had never faded or been abandoned. Perhaps this was the true nobility of the Ram Planet princess.
