Chapter 355: She Too Can Guard Reincarnation

If you leave, Reincarnation will collapse, meaning you will be completely confined here.

This is certainly not the outcome you wanted to see.

"What should we do?"

You are worrying, yet you see a figure in the Starry Sky, walking step by step toward here.

You widen your eyes, unable to believe it.

"What's going on?"

Looking at the figure walking from the Starry Sky, you think you must be seeing things.

"Lü Ya?"

From the moment you saw Lü Ya, you knew she harbored a secret, but her behavior truly resembled that of a Mortal.

A Mortal, yet she crossed the Starry Sky to come here.

You stand at the edge of the Samsara World, watching her approach; she has her eyes closed, her steps stiff, a smile on her face.

It's like... sleepwalking?

A Mortal sleepwalking, crossing the Starry Sky to arrive here?

You cannot comprehend it at all.

Until she reaches your side and collapses into your arms.

At that moment, you feel the Samsara World change once more, an indescribable shift, as if the Samsara World has become more solid.

It completely forms a closed-loop connection with the Jiu Da Jing Tu.

Lü Ya's arrival is like completing the final piece of the Reincarnation puzzle, raising this realm to a new height.

You hold Lü Ya.

"Hmm?"

You realize you can no longer see her Illusory World, just as your Illusory World has turned into Reincarnation, and her Illusory World has completely vanished.

"Indeed! The two Illusory Worlds have always been interdependent; from birth to death, then from death back to birth, only then can it be called true Reincarnation."

Perhaps Lü Ya was always a part of Reincarnation.

As long as either you or she stays here, the Samsara World can remain stable.

But you worry about frightening her.

After all, in Lü Ya's own perception, she is just an ordinary little girl.

Not long after, Lü Ya awakens.

"Young... Young Master?"

She groggily opens her eyes, "Young Master, you've returned?"

"It's not that I've returned, it's you..."

You don't know how to express it to her, "Take a look, what's different here compared to where we live."

Lü Ya, slowly becoming aware, looks around, "Where is this? It's so dark."

At this moment, you can be sure that after the Illusory World disappears, everything Lü Ya sees is now real.

Given this girl's timid temperament, staying in this world full of specters, will she be scared to death?

You truly can't bear to leave her alone and abandoned here.

Lü Ya trembles, "Young Master, it's so gloomy here, I always feel something watching me; shall we go back?"

You say, "I will cultivate here for a while."

You must go to the core space of the Jing Shi Zhu, to meet the strongest being and uncover all secrets.

Only by ending the An Ying Zhu can all misfortune be resolved.

After you leave, only Lü Ya can maintain the stability of the Samsara World.

Moreover, you cannot stay here forever; you must find a way for Reincarnation to self‑stabilize, and that will be true Reincarnation.

"Well... okay."

Seeing you say you'll cultivate, Lü Ya holds back, "Young Master, rest assured, I'm a bit scared but I will never delay your cultivation."

You think for a moment and, in this nether world, build a house for her.

As long as she doesn't leave here and sees no specters, she should no longer be afraid.

You ask her, "Lü Ya, my cultivation retreat may last a very long time; can you stay here alone?"

"I can, Young Master."

Lü Ya smiles, "When I was in the manor, I was always waiting for you, so I've gotten used to it."

Those words make you feel bittersweet.

But you have no choice; you must leave.

Perhaps, before long, you'll be able to stay together forever.

After spending a few more days with Lü Ya, you once again feel turbulence in the Jing Shi Zhu space.

You know, it's time to set out.

"Lü Ya, I'm leaving."

"Hmm."

Lü Ya hands you a parcel, "Young Master, this is the snack I made for you; remember to eat it."

"Alright."

You nod and tell her, "Stay here, don't wander off; if you encounter anything strange, you needn't be afraid."

"Here, nothing will ever harm you."

"Did you remember?"

"Got it, Young Master!" Lü Ya nodded repeatedly.

The ghost creatures of the nether world may look ferocious, but they are completely loyal to you, so they naturally will not harm Lü Ya.

After the farewell, you left the nether world.

Sure enough, with Lü Ya stationed, Reincarnation stabilized and ceased its turbulence.

Your lingering heart finally settled.

Using mental communication with the power of Jing Shi Zhu, you stepped forward and entered a strange realm, heading toward the core of Jing Shi Zhu.

Likewise, it is also the road leading to the very center of the realm of shadows.

You sensed a powerful aura, seated at the far end of this space, towering above everything.

"Finally... we meet."

You walked through a space shattered like crystal, and gradually you felt immense pressure.

Darkness! Fear! Weirdness! As if to devour everything!

"An Ying Zhu!!"

This is the power of An Ying Zhu; compared to feeling it in the realm of shadows, here it is even clearer.

Facing its power directly, you finally learned just how vast its might truly is.

With your present strength, not to mention one you, even ten thousand of you would be of no help.

Its power has already completely exceeded the dimensions of your comprehension.

Yet the fire of hope still burns in your eyes.

An Ying Zhu is indeed powerful, but so what? Isn't the Jing Tu world still able to balance it?

The strongest being in Jing Tu is likewise not weak.

You moved forward step by step along the passage.

Before long, you saw Bai Li Ming and other guardians.

They stood before you, genuine living beings radiating the aura unique to living beings; you would not mistake them.

Yet the scene you witnessed on the Ascension Staircase made you unable to help but doubt.

You examined Bai Li Ming carefully several times.

After much deliberation, you still could not suppress the raging thought in your heart, staring straight at him and asking the question.

"Bai Li Ming, you! Are you a human or a ghost?!"
