Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!

If his guess was correct, and if the owner of that great tomb was an ancient Qi Refiner, then Zi Ji would be able to enter the realm, emerge unscathed, and begin her cultivation here.

"You lead Lao Huang," Chen Pingping said.

"No matter what happens, do not leave its side."

"Keep walking!"

"This Spiritual Milk Jade is for you..."

"The method of cultivation, I have already told you, do you remember?"

Zi Ji nodded. She had probably guessed Chen Pingping's intentions but was puzzled. Why start cultivating here?

The gazes of countless people were fixed on her, watching her gradually receding figure, until she finally stepped into the realm.

There was no slaughter, only peace.

Chen Pingping smiled.

Everyone was moved.

A great tomb appeared in Zi Ji's vision, and there was a woman like a Fairy, shrouded in rosy light, her true face obscured.

Even as Zi Ji entered, the woman did not turn around; her gaze remained fixated on the great tomb.

There was no tombstone.

The entire realm was also silent.

Zi Ji led Lao Huang step by step. For some reason, she felt a strange summons, as if someone from the great tomb was calling her.

"Who are you?" she couldn't help but ask.

The Moon God did not speak, just glanced at her.

"Are you also seeking opportunity?" Zi Ji asked again.

Perhaps the woman was too cold, so Zi Ji didn't know what else to say. She followed that strange summons to the front of the great tomb.

A small hand pressed down.

BANG!

Brilliant light burst forth, as if the sun itself was blooming, and in that instant, an overwhelming will revived within the great tomb.

Not only that, but the gravity within the hills also disappeared, along with the realm itself.

Everyone was startled and instinctively looked forward, seeing Zi Ji and the figure of the Moon God.

The Moon God furrowed her brows, looking at Zi Ji for the first time.

「...」

Her consciousness arrived in another world.

It was a terrifying battlefield, corpses everywhere, rivers of blood, and countless killings in the distance; the clang of weapons was incessant.

The sky was dull, and the atmosphere felt settled, solidified... The rich scent of blood roamed freely.

Her small figure stood atop a low hill, watching the distant battlefield. At this moment, her mind suddenly filled with images.

No, those were memories.

Memories that belonged to her...

A world unlike any other, and another self.

Only these memories were fragmented, the scenes broken and intermittent, impossible to comprehend when pieced together.

Suddenly, a figure in black armor approached her, "The Yuan Knight greets Her Highness the Princess."

"Are you calling me?" Zi Ji's eyes widened.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"I am a princess?"

"Correct!"

"And who are you?"

"The Yuan Knight, commanded to protect the Princess on her journey," he said with respect.

Yuan Knight?

To protect me on my journey?

Zi Ji was increasingly confused, "Where am I supposed to go?"

"To leave this place," the Yuan Knight answered.

"Whose command?"

"It is your mother's command, and the Yuan Knight only obeys her." As he spoke, he suddenly grew anxious, because a group of powerful individuals were rushing toward them.

They had to leave this place.

The Yuan Knight roared angrily, drawing the huge iron sword from his waist, and slashed behind him.

This sword strike was plain and unadorned, without momentum or brilliance, yet it concentrated an extraordinary force.

"It's the great swordsman, Yuan Knight—he's still alive, damn it… Hurry, let's go…" someone exclaimed.

But it was already too late…

Yuan Knight's sword had already descended, a dense killing intention erupting from it, instantly enveloping all the pursuers.

With just that one sword strike, he had killed all the pursuing enemies.

Zi Ji opened her mouth wide, incredulous, "Are you a great swordsman?"

Within her fragmented memories, another familiar term emerged.

Great swordsman.

It must be a title, given to someone when their strength reaches a certain level.

Equal to the Sages of the Human Clan?

EH?

How do I know this?

Why say Human Clan? Am I not part of the Human Clan?

Zi Ji grew increasingly confused.

"Your Highness, there's no time left! Let the Yuan Knight take you away from here!" he urged anxiously.

They could not hold back the numerous powerful enemies behind them for much longer.

Yuan Knight rushed over in a few strides, taking Princess Zi Ji with him as they fled into the distance.

"I will take you to another world, but you won't be a princess there. You may live an ordinary life, or perhaps you'll become a genius..."

"Are you crying?"

"No!"

"You clearly are crying," Zi Ji said with certainty. "After you send me away, you will die, right?"

Yuan Knight remained silent.

"Then I don't want to leave," she said.

But Yuan Knight's speed increased, and in just a couple of minutes, they had escaped who knows how many miles, far from the dreadful battlefield, arriving before the Light Door.

Yuan Knight spoke, "Princess!"

"We're safe now, aren't we?" she looked back.

"No!" Yuan Knight shook his head. "They will not let go of you, Princess…"

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, a fierce wind blew past, and a red glow covered the sky, obscuring the sun.

A woman descended from the sky, arriving in front of them.

She was very beautiful; her face, figure, skin—everything about her seemed like that of a Fairy, but her gaze was cold, filled with killing intention.

Seeing this woman, Zi Ji was even more astounded. Wasn't that the woman from before the great tomb? How did she appear here?

Yuan Knight's face darkened as he said coldly, "Moon, do you really intend to kill the princess?"

The woman known as "Moon" replied, "Duty calls. I must make a move."

"You should die… They all should die!" Yuan Knight suddenly erupted in anger, but amid the imminent battle, he pushed Zi Ji through the Light Door with a backhand shove.

Only when her figure vanished from sight did Yuan Knight relax.

But to his utter surprise, Moon followed her through, leaving only one sentence behind, "Yuan, you are the best swordsman in the Netherworld, and I am the finest Hunter. In a certain sense, you cannot defeat me."

The light swallowed them both.

「...」

When Princess Zi Ji opened her eyes again, she found herself in another world.

A familiar face appeared before her: Yuan Knight.

He had followed her through.

But at this moment, Yuan Knight looked old, with sparse white hair, and all the vitality in his body had dried up. It wouldn't be long before he would fall.

But every time he saw Princess Zi Ji, he couldn't help but show a tranquil smile, "Your Highness, are you awake?"

"Where is this?"

"The Nine Heavens of the Human Clan."

"Why am I here?"

"Reincarnation!"

A word that even the gods found heavy, yet from his lips, it sounded so casual and light.

But Zi Ji didn't know that this was her third time waking up and recognizing Yuan Knight.

That was why Yuan Knight was very happy.

Zi Ji then said, "You are dying."

Yuan Knight carelessly replied, "Yuan will not fall until the princess has grown up."

She didn't understand, "Why?"

At this mention, Yuan Knight suddenly felt very tired, shook his head, and gave no explanation as to why.
