All he knew was that he had to win.

For Mu Yan, for Lin Yueyan, for those who have waited for him for ten thousand years.

Similarly, for those who trust him, depend on him, and place all their hopes on him.

On the screen of light, scenes from my memory kept replaying.

Scenes from Xu Ze and Lin Yueyan's past are constantly replaying themselves.

until.

A strange 'man' appeared.

In an instant.

The surrounding void began to dissipate, and the training ground reappeared before their eyes.

Fairy Qing Shuang was still practicing her sword, and her sword energy had already condensed to a length of thirty feet.

sunset.

Golden sunlight shone on the snow-capped peaks, making the entire Qingyun Peak shine with a golden brilliance.

Xu Ze stood up and gripped the Flame-Slaying Sword tightly in his hand.

"I finally remembered."

Chapter 187 The Big One Is Coming

A ray of morning light shone through the gap in the curtains in the villa's bedroom, falling on Xu Ze's face.

He opened his eyes, and his consciousness slowly emerged from that vast white void.

Like a drowning person who finally surfaced.

"I see."

now.

There was no fear or confusion in Xu Ze's eyes.

There was a clarity and brightness unlike anything I had ever experienced before.

"Was this so-called time travel also something I created?"

"I can't believe I was able to plan this all in advance..."

Those images were still swirling in Xu Ze's mind.

He even admired himself a little.

Ten thousand years ago, at the Xuanling Sect's mountain gate, stood a young girl yearning for the Mahayana stage.

The words, "Senior brother, go first, I'll be there soon," still seem to echo in my ears.

Then, ten thousand years later at Canghai Academy, there's the woman who stood before the star map, shedding tears, and uttering the words, "Liar."

Everything connected.

Those fragments of memory from the world of the Heavenly Book, every word Lin Yueyan uttered.

Even Mu Yan's every glance, and in the real world, Ding Wan and Bai Yuxi's every unspoken words...

They are like scattered 'pearls' strung together by a thread.

at this point.

Finally, it became a complete 'necklace'.

[The fragmented memories of the 'truth' have been fully integrated.]

The system notification sounded in my mind, cold and mechanical.

Yet, beneath that coldness lay a solemnity never before seen.

[Obtained Spirit Treasure Fragment: Primordial Cauldron - IV.]

[Current progress of the Primordial Cauldron: 4/5.]

[Please proceed to the final instance as soon as possible.]

……

"call."

Xu Ze didn't rush to look at the light screens.

He just lay in bed, staring at the ceiling above him.

Beside him was a nightlight that was still on, along with two even breaths.

Bai Yuxi was curled up in Xu Ze's arms, her nine tails spread out, covering the two of them like a fluffy blanket.

Her lips were slightly upturned, as if she were having a sweet dream, and she would occasionally smack her lips.

Ding Wan lay on her side, one hand resting on his chest.

Even in her sleep, she was not completely relaxed; her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were on guard against something.

"Is this my 'Ghost Brain System'?"

Xu Ze spoke softly, so softly that only he could hear it.

Without disturbing them, he quietly got out of bed and stepped barefoot onto the floor.

The floor was a little cool, and a chill ran through his feet, making him even more alert.

He went into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and let the warm water wash over his body.

A mist filled the air, covering the mirror with a layer of white fog, making it possible to vaguely see one's own outline.

He reached out and wiped his hand on the mirror, seeing his own face.

It was the same face, young and expressionless, with no discernible emotion.

But those eyes were different.

There was something new in those eyes.

"You guys keep sleeping, I'll be back soon."

Without waking Ding Wan and Bai Yuxi, Xu Ze changed into a clean suit after taking a shower.

A black suit, a white shirt, and a dark blue tie.

Standing in front of the mirror, looking at the young man in a suit and tie reflected in it, he suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

Xu Ze tried to put on a smile, bright and cheerful.

After straightening his collar, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"I'm going to hold a game launch event."

His voice was calm, “The sooner the better.”

Soon, the secretary's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Okay, Mr. Xu, I'll arrange it right away."

Xu Ze hung up the phone and walked out of the bathroom.

He tiptoed out of the bedroom, down the stairs, and into the living room.

Xi Yue sat on the sofa, wearing a moon-white nightgown, her long hair loose, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand.

She watched Xu Ze walk down the stairs, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at his suit:

Are you going out?

Xu Ze nodded and replied while putting on his shoes:

"Well, it's about time."

Xi Yue was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"You...you knew all along?"

Xu Ze stopped and looked at her.

"Know what?"

"It's... the truth."

Xi Yue's voice was very soft, "About the Heavenly Court, and your past life."

Xu Ze stared at her for a long time.

Then he laughed.

The smile was faint, so faint that it was almost invisible, but something flickered in those eyes.

"you know too?"

Xi Yue lowered her head and looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup.

"The moonlight on Inviting Moon Peak can not only be used for cultivation, but also to see some things... that one shouldn't see."

She looked up at Xu Ze and said, "I knew you were no ordinary person from the first time I saw you on Yaoyue Peak."

"But I didn't know you would come to this."

"What I don't know is... what should my sister and I choose?"

Faced with the girl's dilemma.

Xu Ze remained calm and spoke earnestly:

"Actually, life doesn't offer that many choices."

"Whether to go with the flow or to continue down a certain path... where to go or what to do has never been something we need to consider."

At this point, the young man couldn't help but smile confidently.

"All I know is that I never lose."

Looking at Xu Ze in front of him.
