Chapter 817
That day was something he never wanted to recall.
Who had sent the few knights who had sneaked up on Ying Zidian was still untraceable.
He was absolutely certain that there was a traitor among the Magi.
And because 2023 was a void, not even the Wheel of Fortune could see who this traitor was.
She was already weak, and her face was even paler after the sneak attack.
He had killed the knights, but could not save her life.
But even so, she gripped his hand hard, her eyes slightly stern: “Go! If you don’t go, the door will be closed after this night.”
He held her, “Miss Ying, what do you want?”
At these words, she laughed.
She was already extremely beautiful, and this smile was even more magnificent.
She said, “I only want you to live.”
This one sentence was a pain that would last him forever.
Naturally, he could not just leave.
He found the Sage Lovers and asked for their help.
Whatever the cost would be.
In the end, he did not fail, and she was sent by him to another universe.
But because at that time, she was originally almost dead and her soul was broken.
So when she arrived in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, she lost her memory.
She did not remember the Sage, she did not remember the Earth, she did not remember the past between her and him.
She mistakenly thought that she had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and that she was a being born and raised in the Spirit Cultivation Realm.
And as she had once told him.
There, through her cultivation, she had a healthy and strong body, a higher strength, and a stronger ability to tell fortunes.
She managed to return to Earth to teach ancient martial arts and ancient medicine as well as trigonometry.
Although she has no memory and her appearance has completely changed.
Still, she became friends with Xiu and the Sage Justice and Sage Power and went on to protect the world.
This time, however, she and he did not meet and were completely misplaced.
Then afterwards, she rejoined the world of Spirituality, and again, because of a series of encounters, went to her death once more to protect the others.
She still scattered her cultivation, lost her life and had her soul shattered.
Only the ability to tell fortunes remained.
In the bedroom, Ying Ziji slowly opened her eyes.
She lifted her hand and pressed her eyes.
Tears flowed down her fingers, drop by drop, staining her lapel.
She also finally understood why she had come back.
Why she had gone to so many places and still, unconsciously, she had come back here.
Because–
He was all she had ever wanted to return, even across the universe and through time and space.
**
“Rumble–”
Thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, and a bolt of lightning, after all, struck straight down on the Sage’s House.
After the thunder and lightning pa*sed, a red cloud appeared by the sky, and the haze was brilliant.
All the inhabitants of the City of Worlds saw it and exclaimed in awe.
“The sky is descending with good fortune!”
“What’s happening?”
“It’s the Lord of the Wheel of Destiny! I read the records, it must be Lord Wheel of Destiny!”
Inside the Sage’s Courtyard, Sara’s pupils also snapped shut.
The birth of a sage was silent.
But only on the day the Wheel of Destiny was born did a vision descend from the sky.
This had distinguished the Wheel of Destiny from the other Magi.
This is the reason why Sara detests the Wheel of Fortune.
But fortunately, the Wheel of Fortune was so weak that it could not even walk much.
And the vision was exactly the same as it had been at the beginning.
Could it be that a new sage was about to be born?
Both Sara and the priestess and Louis were astonished.
After the complete fall of the Magi, their position was empty.
How could there still be a successor?
The positions of the Fool and the Temperance still hung in the balance, how was it that the Wheel of Destiny was instead succeeded by someone?
Even they were not sure how the Magi had come into being.
What was this all about?
“Sara, it seems the astrolabe shattered not because the energy dissipated.” The priestess looked grave, “It was because a new Wheel of Destiny was born and this part of her power was retrieved.”
Sara’s eyes were gloomy, “I know.”
The new Wheel of Destiny was left alone for now.
As a matter of urgency, she had to think about how to get rid of Ying Zidian.
**
This way, the Leingold family.
“Well, Yaoyao is awake.” Fu Yunshen inclined his head and glanced out the window as he stood up, “Mianxi, you go up and talk to her, I’ll take refuge for a while.”
Ling Mianxi pointed at herself: “Why should I go?”
Fu Yunshen was thoughtful, “You calm her down, or she might hit me.”
With a single word, the dull atmosphere was broken.
Qin Lingyu wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t laugh at all.
How much they had to hurt at that time.
“If you were afraid of being beaten, you couldn’t push me up to block the knife, how shameless.” Ling Mianxi muttered, “Fine, fine, fine, a good man will do what he has to do, this time, I will still help you guys.”
She turned her back and couldn’t help rubbing her reddened eyes.
Then she went upstairs and arrived at the bedroom door.
The door opened just at that moment.
The girl was standing barefoot, apparently not even having time to put on her shoes, and was about to go out.
“Ahem.” Ling Mianxi closed the door, “Ying, let me tell you a little about what happened afterwards.”
Ying Zidian’s hand paused and he took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, “You tell.”
“When you were on the verge of death, he came to me with you in his arms and asked me to use my special ability of symbiosis to keep you.” Ling Mianxi whispered, “But your situation was unusual and my powers were useless.”
It could also be said that the Wheel of Destiny had exploded with power far beyond any of the Magi at this moment.
Other sages were no longer able to match it.
This was also quite normal.
The Wheel of Destiny was able to even calculate the trajectory of another universe, and her ability had long since surpa*sed any sage.
Ying Ziji closed her eyes, “I know.”
Opening a pa*sage between two universes was something that, even in the world of spiritual cultivation she had once stayed in, that required the sacrifice of life and soul from a peak powerhouse.
“So he was prepared to renew his life directly to you.” Ling Mianxi looked up, “This is the first time I’ve used such a symbiosis, perhaps the two of you were too powerful, so it didn’t backfire on me lightly.”
After the Holy War, not long after, she too had fallen.
Ying Ziji’s eyes changed and he fiercely gripped her shoulders, “Xiaomian, you-”
“It’s alright, my fall is normal, it has no effect other than the fact that I have to return to the Sage Academy with you guys to regain my memories and power.” Ling Mianxi was solemn, “But I helped you all, I don’t regret it.”
The Wheel of Fortune and the demons were for everyone, and it didn’t matter if she gave up herself.
Ying Zigui’s fingers slowly clenched, and her veins jumped out.
Her eyelashes trembled, “Then the holy war ……”
“He kept in mind what you said about a traitor appearing in the Sage House, and it just so happened that a few knights sneaked up on you, which made him even more sure of the idea.” Ling Mianxi slowly spoke, “Others thought he was outright attacking the entire Sage House in his anger, but in fact it wasn’t.”
“It was because in order to achieve this particular symbiosis, he had to first allow himself to die from serious injuries and trade his life for his own before he could achieve it.”
Because of this unknown traitor, he would rather take all the blame than let any of the Magi other than Ling Mianxi know that he had sent Ying Zigui to another universe to grow in strength.
When the Holy War broke out, no one would notice the opening of the Cosmic Pa*sage anymore.
Even though he was furious, he still did not hurt any of the beings.
This was all that was left inside the first Holy War that would break out.
“Symbiosis finally succeeded, and you went to that Spirit Cultivation Realm.” Ling Mianxi’s voice was soft, “But he didn’t, at the time, actually think of letting you come back.”
“He wanted you to just live there in good health and peace.”
Ying Ziji closed her eyes slightly, and for the first time she felt what heartache meant.
She asked, “And the price? It’s more than just a life for a life, right?”
Ling Mianxi turned his head sideways, his eyes red again, “The price is, eternal descent into darkness.”
Every time he was reincarnated, he would experience all kinds of trials and condemnations.
No one loved him, no one believed in him.
Alone, he died of old age.
Reincarnated again and again.
Until again, to meet you.
But even as he fell into darkness, each of his lives, he continued to fight again against all the forces of evil.
This was the pact between him and her.
It was only after a long, long silence that Ying spoke, “How silly.”
She had gone to another universe to grow in strength, but also because she had died once more, her cultivation had been scattered.
It was still a mystery whether she could deal with the location’s 2024.
If it was Fu Yunshen who had gone then, this would not have happened.
He would also have been able to have more strength than her.
Ying Ziji gave a light laugh as she added, “How silly.”
“Then what, I won’t bother you guys anymore.” Ling Mianxi patted her shoulder and pointed behind her, “He’s here.”
Ying’s body tensed up and she turned around very, very slowly.
Fu Yunshen was standing at the entrance of the stairs.
Just as he did then, his peach blossom eyes curved up and he walked forward to take her hand.
The familiar words, the familiar tone of voice.
“Miss Ying, this time, do you like me a lot?”
Chapter 818
In this life, their looks have changed, their names have changed.
The only thing that remained the same was their souls and their hearts.
After many years, they were once again standing opposite each other.
Ying Ziji looked into his naturally smiling peach blossom eyes and whispered, “That wasn’t the last word I wanted to leave for you.”
She was in pain and it was hard to speak.
And she didn’t want him to be attached, she just wanted him to go to another universe to grow in strength as soon as possible.
Fu Yunshen was slightly stunned, “Hmm?”
“What I want to say is-” Ying Ziji smiled silently, “I don’t have a heart, but I have someone to love, and coincidentally, Mr. D is that person.”
Fu Yunshen’s arm stiffened, and for the first time he was a little at a loss for words, his ears were burning: “Yoyo?”
She rested her head on his chest, listening to his steady, strong heartbeat.
It was as if the only way she could feel alive was to hold him like this.
“Mr. D, how silly.” Ying Ziji was silent for a moment, then laughed again, “Our ‘shining morning star, son of glory’, turned out to be a big fool.”
Fu Yunshen hugged her tightly and smiled at her words, his eyes were gentle, “Miss Ying, I only want you to live too.”
Ying Zidian’s eyes twitched slightly: “But you are too bitter.”
The price of eternal darkness is even greater than reincarnation after reincarnation.
She wasn’t sure what had happened to him in his previous reincarnations.
It was just that in this life, what he had gone through was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Fu Yun Shen faintly: “What is suffering when I see you again.”
“You and I said that when we become sages, our lives don’t belong to us anymore.” Ying Ziji sighed softly, “Any moment we are ready, we will sacrifice for the world, this move of yours, is not wise.”
“So it’s different now.” Fu Yunshen pinched her face, “My life, belongs to you, and yours, to me.”
“No one can easily part with it without the permission of both parties.”
“Fine, but I also have to tell you bad news.” Ying Ziji glanced at him, “This time, by the end of the year, we can both be martyred.”
Her cultivation in the Spirit Cultivation World had scattered cleanly because she had saved people, and Earth did not exist any spiritual power, it was a purely technological world, so this part of her cultivation could not be recovered at all.
All she had left now was the same peak fighting power among the Magi as the Magi Demons.
As well as the special ability of divine calculation of the world.
And what exactly will happen in 20xx’s and who the real traitor is.
She couldn’t see it then, and she still can’t see it now.
There is still nothingness.
This is proof that the end of the world will still come.
It took the power of twenty-two sages to hold back this cataclysm, but four of them had already fallen completely.
“The time is not right, everything is unknown.” Fu Yun Shen looked lazy, “It would be good if we martyred ourselves together, you can’t leave me alone in this world.”
He naturally knew that if he was the one to go to another universe to grow in strength, perhaps the situation would not be so pa*sive.
However, he could not live without her.
And of course, he could not leave behind the world they had guarded together for so long.
Ying Ziji slowly exhaled a breath and faintly: “I am really quite angry.”
“I’m sorry, I was wrong.” Fu Yunshen quickly admitted his mistake and took it in stride, “It’s okay for you to hit me, don’t hit my face.”
Ying Ziji kicked him, “Be decent.”
“Little fate, now it’s really a big fate.” Fu Yun Shen smiled and stroked her head, “Your body is healthy now, you also invented ancient martial arts and ancient medicine, you have so many disciples, you have saved many people, you are the most powerful among us.”
“You can travel around now, you don’t have to just read and watch the scenery from the mountains, I can accompany you wherever you want to go.”
No wonder, when he saw her, he bought her children’s books on a whim.
He had carved her preferences into his bones.
“I remembered.” Ying Ziji propped her head on her hand and raised her eyebrows, “You used to like to bully me and rub my head all the time because I was weak, no wonder I never grew taller at that time.”
“Miss Ying, you’re slandering people.” Fu Yunshen flexed his fingers and flicked her forehead, “Your bones are already set, how can you grow? I even bought you milk and gave you a ma*sage.”
“Oh, I forgot.”
“……”
Ying Ziji’s eyes narrowed slightly, “In other words, you fell in love with me at first sight, right?”
“Yes, love at first sight.” Fu Yunshen was thoughtful, “But not that time, I was ready to abduct you the first time I saw you at the Magi meeting.”
After all these years and countless reincarnations, he still remembered the first time he saw her.
The Wheel of Fortune had only been born a short time ago then, and it was the Fool who had brought her back.
He glanced at her from afar.
The girl’s face was cold, her eyebrows were bland, and she was clutching a book in her hands.
She could neither cry nor laugh.
It was as if she was a stone without a heart.
He knew then that she was the youngest sage in her year, but one of the most fearsome in her abilities.
She was polite and distant to everyone and never had too much interaction beyond her tasks.
So then he found an excuse to ask Yugi to take him to see her.
Fu Yunshen looked gentle, his eyes loving: “Still angry?”
“Not angry anymore.” Ying Zidian skipped his head, “I can’t get angry at this face of yours.”
“So, there’s a problem.” Fu Yunshen held her wrist, “Yao Yao, you have to answer it seriously.”
Hearing these words, Ying Ziyi’s expression grew grave: “What question?”
“Did I look good before, or do I look good now?”
“……”
Ying Zidian kicked him again, his eyes cool: “You can shut up now.”
“My little friend has become cuter, but his nature still hasn’t changed.” Fu Yunshen, “Okay, no more fooling around, there are people waiting for you, want to go down?”
“Go.” Ying Zigui’s eyes stared, “The day is getting closer, we have to unite everyone.”
The two of them went downstairs.
The living room.
Five Magi were gathered, and Norton was there.
At the first sight of the girl, Hugh couldn’t hold back any longer, he stood up with a bang, his eyes flushed with emotion.
“Right there, you stand there.” Ying Zidian raised his hand, “Don’t move.”
Hugh immediately stopped moving.
He was still a bit scared.
Xiu stroked his newly dyed hair and opened his mouth, “So what, sister, I-”
“You might as well call me Big Brother Big.”
“……”
Xiu just wanted to slap himself.
Why hadn’t he thought that Ying Zidian was his sister in the first place?
“Yaoyao, sit over here.” Fu Yunshen pulled out the chair for the girl, “We’re having a meeting.”
Xiu returned to his seat in a funereal manner.
Suddenly, he reacted violently and pointed at the demon man, exasperated, “Fine! I told you why I was missing a photo, it turned out that you took it!”
He didn’t suspect Fu Yunshen, a “decent man”, in the slightest.
“Huh?” Fu Yunshen lifted his eyes, “Your sister is all mine, I’m missing a photo?”
Xiu: “……”
He was grief stricken.
How could there be such a shameless person.
“What’s he doing stealing your photos?” Ying Zigui glanced at Xiu and slowly, “I’ve seen your book of portraits, they make me look really ugly, don’t say you’re my brother when you go out.”
When Xiu heard this, his eyes became even more sour, “It’s okay, there’s already a camera now.”
“Well, take a picture later.” Ying sat down, “Now, we need to discuss some things.”
The Magi all sat up straight.
Whether it was before or now, the Wheel of Destiny would always be the backbone among the Magi.
“Let me ask you all a question.” Ying Ziji spoke slowly, “Which one of you has actually seen the world?”
The last of the twenty-two Magi, the World.
theworld.
Hearing these words, all the people’s expressions were awe-inspiring.
Half a moment later, Qin Lingyu spoke, “In that case, I have indeed never seen the world, and I don’t even know whether ta is a male or female, or whether it is a combat or support type sage.”
“I’ve never seen it either.” Hugh shook his head, “The world hasn’t been back to the House of Magi since I was born.”
“Hmm.” Fu Yun Shen’s eyes deepened slightly, “Neither have I.”
Ying Ziji mused, “Then it seems that only Grandpa Yugi and Sister Temperance and Judgement have seen it.”
There were four sages in total who were first born.
Sage Fool, Sage Temperance, Sage Judgement and Sage World.
Ling Mianxi did not speak, but merely pondered.
Could it be that the world was the traitor among them?
She kept in mind the words of Fu Yunshen and Ying Zidian.
No one could be trusted, and anyone could be a traitor.
“I’ll find out where the emperor is first.” Ying Ziji closed his eyes, “We need to find him as soon as possible.”
The crowd was also nervous.
A few seconds later, Ying Ziyi slowly opened her eyes, and a slight surprise swept through them.
She nodded, “Emperor, it’s thirty metres away from us, go out and turn right, he’s chatting with the housekeeper in the garden.”
