On the other side, Ling Luo Yi was brought to a strange place by a white light. It resembled someone's cultivation chamber, filled with spirit stones, crystal stones, and other items used for cultivation, along with things she didn't recognize.
In front of Ling Luo Yi was a small platform, on which sat a pure cyan ball of light. Ling Luo Yi had seen something similar before – a spiritual energy cluster from the first ancient ruin she had encountered. After completely absorbing it, she had advanced to the ninth stage of spiritual mastery. However, this time was different; the light cluster was not composed of spiritual energy but divine power.
Whose ruins were these? Judging by the light cluster, the owner should have been a deity from ancient times. But why would a deity leave behind ruins in the human realm?
As Ling Luo Yi pondered, the light cluster began to change. Divine power emanated from it, forming a transparent figure in the air. Ling Luo Yi saw a young woman smiling at her.
The woman spoke, "Long time no see, little Luo Luo. Do you remember me?"
Hearing the woman's familiar tone, Ling Luo Yi grew more confused and asked, "Who are you?"
The woman was not surprised by her question. She gazed deeply at Ling Luo Yi, sighed after a long moment, and said with disappointment, "It's only natural that you don't remember me, after all, thousands of years have passed. To be honest, I'm quite surprised you were able to reincarnate. I thought you, like us, would simply dissipate, leaving no trace of our existence in the world."
Sensing the disappointment in the woman's voice, Ling Luo Yi felt a pang of reluctance deep within her heart. She forcefully suppressed this feeling and asked sternly, "Who exactly are you?"
Hearing her ask again, the woman gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "You once said that no matter what happened in the future, you would remember me if I died. I didn't expect you to forget. Oh well, when I was alive, I served as the God of Wind for ten thousand years. Everyone else called me the God of Wind, but only you called me by my name. My name is Yao Feng."
God of Wind Yao Feng!
As soon as the name was spoken, Ling Luo Yi felt a sense of self-reproach emanating from her soul. Yet, she found it very strange; she didn't know her, so why should she feel guilty?
Seeing Ling Luo Yi frown upon hearing her name, God of Wind Yao Feng said with a hint of joy, "Little Luo Luo, you do remember me after all. Even if you have no memory of me, your soul remembers me."
Hearing her joy, Ling Luo Yi felt reluctant to shatter her illusion. However, there were some things she didn't understand, so she asked, "God of Wind, were you the one calling my soul just now? What do you need me for?"
Upon hearing her address, Yao Feng's slightly upturned lips froze for a moment before drooping. "I merely sensed something of mine within your soul and wanted to test it. I didn't expect to discover your soul, and I was too curious, so I brought you here."
Something within her soul! She only had one thing in her soul!
Ling Luo Yi suppressed the shock in her heart and looked at Yao Feng with vigilance. Her reaction further wounded Yao Feng's heart. How could she look at her like that?!
"I'm sorry, but the Feng Xi Bracelet has already recognized me as its master. I can't return it to you."
"You misunderstand," Yao Feng explained. "I don't intend to snatch the Feng Xi Bracelet back. I only have this wisp of remnant soul left in the world. I merely sensed it and wanted to see if it was faring well. Besides, the Feng Xi Bracelet was something you and I refined together."
"The Feng Xi Bracelet is doing very well, and Little Feng Xi is also doing well." Since the other party wasn't trying to take the Feng Xi Bracelet from her, Ling Luo Yi no longer needed to be so harsh.
"Little Feng Xi? So, after these thousands of years, the Feng Xi Bracelet has developed spiritual consciousness. That's wonderful." Yao Feng looked at Ling Luo Yi's face, her thoughts returning to their life in the divine realm. Seeing that Ling Luo Yi had no intention of asking about those matters, Yao Feng couldn't help but ask, "Little Luo Luo, aren't you curious about your past life?"
"What's there to be curious about? The God of Wind already said it was a past life. What does it have to do with my current life?" Ling Luo Yi truly didn't care who her past self was. She wanted to live her current life well, and only her current life.
"Yes, you have reincarnated. No matter who your past self was, it has nothing to do with your current life. Only I cannot let go."
Yao Feng's disappointment also affected Ling Luo Yi's emotions. Perhaps it was because of the past life she mentioned; she didn't want to see Yao Feng unhappy. Unfortunately, to Yao Feng now, she was just a stranger.
Adjusting her emotions, Ling Luo Yi was about to say she needed to leave when Yao Feng asked again, "Then do you remember You Ying? If you don't remember me, you should at least remember her, right?"
Ling Luo Yi still shook her head. "I don't remember. If the God of Wind has nothing else to say to me, then I will take my leave." She had been suddenly taken away by Yao Feng, and Ah Su and Ah Yuan must be worried.
Watching Ling Luo Yi's retreating back, Yao Feng anxiously asked, "Don't you want to know how you can survive now?"
Hearing this, Ling Luo Yi paused and turned back to look at Yao Feng, asking in confusion, "Does the God of Wind have a way to save me?"
Yao Feng shook her head. "No. Your body can no longer withstand the divine power of two divine bones. If you add mine, you will die instantly."
"That's it then. Since my death is inevitable, I'll just enjoy my remaining days. I'm very open-minded about it." There was nothing to worry about.
Seeing Ling Luo Yi facing death so calmly, Yao Feng didn't understand. Didn't she want to live? Even if it was only for a little longer? Facing death so calmly, and a complete annihilation of body and soul, even a deity couldn't do that!
Seeing her confusion, Ling Luo Yi smiled. "God of Wind, no matter the race, lifespan is limited. What we can do is enjoy this period of time. That's all I have to say. I bid you farewell."
Watching Ling Luo Yi's unhesitating departure, Yao Feng said, "Little Luo Luo, are you willing to die for the world?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Luo Yi's footsteps did not stop. She merely let out a disdainful snort, answering Yao Feng's question.
To die for the world? If it were before reconciling with 'her,' she definitely would have been willing. But now, the world had nothing to do with her. She could protect them, but she couldn't die for them.
Sensing that Ling Luo Yi's presence had left, Yao Feng said with an unreadable expression, "Little Luo Luo, I've already told you the method. Whether you can survive depends on your own thoughts."
After speaking, she looked at the ball of divine power she had left behind and gave a mocking smile. "Originally, I prepared this to leave for the true reincarnated Little Luo Luo. Since she can't use it now, I'll give it to her friend."
Yao Feng spat out the word 'friend' through gritted teeth. Little Luo Luo's only friend used to be her. Now that she had reincarnated, she had made other friends. How infuriating!
Yao Feng sent the ball of divine power to Qiu Yuan Xi, who was running away in anger, and then dissipated into the air.
Ling Luo Yi continued walking forward. Not long after, she heard Qiu Yuan Xi's suppressed cries of pain. She hurried over and, upon turning the corner, saw Qiu Yuan Xi lying on the ground, emitting a silver light.
Gu Yun Cheng stood to the side, occasionally glancing at Qiu Yuan Xi on the ground, but his attention was tightly focused on Ling Luo Yi's direction. Sensing her presence, Gu Yun Cheng exclaimed with surprise, "Luo Luo!"
Ling Luo Yi rushed over, quickly assessing Gu Yun Cheng and finding him uninjured, which brought her relief. Seeing Qiu Yuan Xi's condition on the ground and sensing the divine power emanating from him, her heart became anxious again. Would Ah Yuan also suffer the same fate as her?
"Ah Yuan!"
