Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl

The man was clad in white, his long black hair casually draped down, yet it did not appear vulgar, still exuding elegance.

His complexion was pale, his brows and eyes delicate.

There was always a faint smile at the corner of his lips, with a pair of eyes capable of seeing through everything.

Being watched by his gaze, all thoughts have nowhere to hide.

Ye Wanlan's hands suddenly clenched, "Rong Shi..."

"I have seen Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty is well." Rong Shi bowed to her, adhering to the etiquette of meeting the Emperor, "Your Majesty's wish has been fulfilled, and the obsession has been resolved, truly a double blessing."

Ye Wanlan did not answer but asked, "Is this your true self?"

"True self?" Rong Shi was taken aback, then smiled, "Your Majesty, I died three hundred years ago; how could there still be a true self? However, this is indeed the last of me."

Ye Wanlan's expression changed suddenly, "What is happening with your body?"

"It's merely deceiving the Heavenly Mechanism, forcibly lingering." Rong Shi replied unhurriedly, "Even if Your Majesty uses the Powers of Heaven and Earth, Yin Yang, and the Five Elements, it cannot gather a body for me to return to Shenzhou."

After a pause, he said softly, "Because I've long been dead, Princess."

Life and death cannot be reversed, even if Shui Yunqing saves someone, the person must still have a breath of life.

Otherwise, even with the Ninth Layer of Taiyi Acupuncture Technique plus the Life and Death Needle, it is impossible to turn a dead person into a living one.

Dead is dead, the past is past.

Ye Wanlan clenched her fists again, coldly saying, "Prince Brother and the others have already come back to life; if dead, they can live again!"

"But I cannot. Being able to converse here with Your Majesty is already the end of my strength." Rong Shi gave a bitter smile, "This Sea of Stars was left by Fan Jingtian and has the ability to shield the Heavenly Mechanism, so I left my last power here, finally allowing me to meet Your Majesty again."

He indeed is unlike the Yan King Sword Saint, who died on the battlefield, their obsessions unquenched, coupled with a miraculous power appearing, hence they were brought back to Shenzhou.

The reason for entrusting their spirits in weapons was because the vengeance of the Battle of Ten Thousand Armies was not yet fulfilled.

It requires Ye Wanlan's heart's blood to activate, precisely because Ye Wanlan is the guide.

These few conditions are indispensable.

But Rong Shi also knew one thing, He Jia and others did not fully come back to life.

Even if they gained a flesh body, it could not be sustained for long.

Life and death reincarnation, only by entering reincarnation can one be reborn.

Ye Wanlan looked at him, suddenly asking, "Rong Shi, are you truly one of the People of Shenzhou?"

Rong Shi was stunned, then suddenly smiled, "Why would Your Majesty ask such a question?"

"Compared to Supreme Wisdom, you truly can see future events." Ye Wanlan said lightly, "Your divination ability is extremely strong, not only things happening in Shenzhou but even things from other worlds can be seen by you."

She had reason to suspect that Rong Shi was also a member of the Time Administration Bureau.

"Your Majesty is truly worthy of being Your Majesty; the national fate of the Ning Dynasty lies with you; you indeed can always perceive things others cannot." Rong Shi sighed lightly.

Ye Wanlan quietly watched him, waiting for him to continue.

"If Your Majesty asks whether I am a person of Shenzhou, my answer is naturally yes." Rong Shi smiled again, "Like Your Majesty, I can give everything for Shenzhou."

In this world, only Princess Yongning and the Divine Effect Building Master qualify to play this game of chess.

And as an observer of the game, even though he can see things that the players cannot, he also considers himself a unique piece on the chessboard.

Ye Wanlan's eyes changed, "Is that so?"

"I have never uttered a single lie to Your Majesty." Rong Shi still smiled, "Shenzhou is of utmost importance to Your Majesty, and the same goes for me."

Ye Wanlan closed her eyes slightly, "I believe you."

If it weren't for Rong Shi coming up with a solution, Shenzhou would have perished three hundred years ago.

If it weren't for Rong Shi transferring the fatal injury from Yan Tingfeng to himself, the Master of Highest Heaven Tower would have long been submerged in the rolling river of history.

How could she not believe that Rong Shi could give everything for Shenzhou?

"But Your Majesty guessed correctly, I am indeed also considered part of the Time Administration Bureau." Rong Shi said, "Thus, I can see many future events."

Ye Wanlan's gaze slightly narrowed, "It seems that the Time Administration Bureau also has many factions."

"Of course, the more people there are, the more intense the disagreements and conflicts." Rong Shi laughed, "Not everyone is cold and emotionless, like a heartless machine."

Ye Wanlan whispered, "Then how did you come to Shenzhou?"

"Your Majesty should already know, there are many Earths, and the Time Administration Bureau assigns a number to each for easier management." Rong Shi explained, "The Earth you are on is Earth 723 because in the year 1723, Shenzhou was supposed to perish, and the timeline was erased."
