Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

Wei Shirong walked along the dead branches on the back mountain, taking one deep step and one shallow step, until she reached the abandoned wooden house on the back mountain.

The baby in her arms had pale lips and cried weakly.

Wei Shirong held him helplessly, babbling to himself to comfort him.

He was just born and hadn't had a single sip of milk. Wei Shirong thought he was crying because he was hungry.

She took off her coat, spread it on the wooden bed, then gently placed the baby on it and walked quickly out of the cabin to find something to eat.

She walked over to the bed and leaned over to him.

The baby stopped crying, and his pair of black, bright eyes opened wide and watery, like obsidian soaked in morning dew, reflecting her appearance clearly.

She had read in a storybook that a child's eyes could see spirits that ordinary people could not see.

Shen Zhaozhao was not sure if he could see her, so she tried to raise her hand and waved it gently in front of his eyes.

The next second, a warm and soft little finger suddenly grabbed her index finger and stuffed it into her mouth.

Shen Zhaozhao hurriedly held his hand, feeling very surprised.

Not only could he see her, he could even touch her virtual body.

Does that mean she can touch him too?

Thinking of Xie Qingyao having taken away his demonic veins, she tried to pick him up, letting him lie on her legs, and carefully opened the swaddling clothes.

When the blood-soaked cloth slipped off and the hideous wound on his young body's back suddenly caught his eyes, Shen Zhaozhao's heart tightened.

The meteor bracelet hanging around his neck contained abundant protective power, but it did not seem to have any healing effect.

"Why are you so pitiful in this world?" Shen Zhaozhao sighed softly, full of pity.

His hatred towards the Heavenly Dao grew stronger.

She had long remembered that the first night when she was controlled by Tiandao to hurt Chu Yu, she had a dream in which she met Tiandao, the author of the world in their book.

Tian Dao, in order to thank Yan Shu, deliberately plotted to kill Chu Yu. Unable to control Chu Yu, she made a deal with another system, 008, to control her to harm Chu Yu. System 005, on the other hand, fanned the flames by giving Gu Qianmeng tasks.

If it were in the real world, she would definitely burn System 005 with karmic fire and listen to its painful howls to relieve her hatred.

Light golden spiritual power appeared at Shen Zhaozhao's fingertips and slowly poured into the wound on his back. The bloody hole healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and new skin gradually covered the hideous scars.

Since she passed the tribulation and reached the realm of true immortality, she has gained this healing spiritual power and the power of infinite karmic fire.

She didn't know why the meteor bracelet in this world had lost its healing properties, but if Xie Qingyao continued to cast the curse on Chu Yu, the current meteor bracelet alone would not be able to protect him. By then, Chu Yu would probably be tortured to death before he even grew up.

Shen Zhaozhao thought for a moment, and transferred all his healing spiritual power into the Meteor Bracelet.

The bracelet has the ability to accommodate everything. Under the infiltration of spiritual energy, it gradually emits a warm light, like starlight kneaded into the bracelet.

She raised her hand again to wipe away the blood stains on the baby's clothes, then held his warm little hand, a smile in her eyes: "I will protect you. I hope that in this life, you can have less suffering and more happiness."

Zhu Yun warned her not to interfere with cause and effect at will, otherwise she would be trapped in this world forever.

But she felt that it would be good for her to grow up with Chu Yu in this world.

Six months passed quickly. When Wei Shirong was spinning yarn and weaving clothes on the stone pier in front of the house, Shen Zhaozhao stayed with Chu Yu and secretly teased him.

He seldom cried or made a fuss. When he woke up from his nap, he would lie quietly, his bright black eyes fixed on her, so well-behaved that it made people feel soft-hearted.

Shen Zhaozhao picked up the small wooden rattle made by Wei Shirong on the table and shook it gently, making a slight sound.

Little Chu Yu's attention was immediately attracted, and he actually supported himself with his little arms and crawled towards her little by little.

Seeing him climbing to the edge of the bed and about to fall down if he moved any further, Shen Zhaozhao hurriedly reached out to hug him, but an invisible suction force suddenly pulled her back with such great force that she could not resist at all.

The baby's silhouette gradually blurred in front of her eyes, replaced by a pair of eyes full of tenderness. A faint voice came through her ears: "It's a very beautiful daughter."

It was her father's voice.

The scene before his eyes suddenly became dark, and Shen Zhaozhao was trapped in chaos.

She instantly understood that "she" in this world was born.

One world cannot accommodate two Shen Zhaozhaos.

She stayed quietly in the darkness. After an unknown amount of time, a crack finally appeared in front of her, and light poured in through it.

Through the light, she saw dark red blood all over the ground. A mournful cry pierced through the darkness and hit her eardrums: "Zhao Zhao, where are you?"

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in coarse cloth clothes that had been washed white. He was squatting in the bloody ground and crying, his hands clutching the blood-stained mud.

His hair was disheveled and stuck to his forehead, his shoulders were shaking, his eyes were blank and frightened, and his big tears fell into the blood, creating ripples.

After crying for a long time, the boy stood up shakily and staggered back.

A passing disciple of the Immortal Sect saw him, frowned, and said with disgust: "Little fool, why are you running to Wufeng Mountain instead of staying in the back mountain?"

The young man rushed over and grabbed the man's sleeve tightly. His fingertips turned white from the force. His voice was hoarse with tears. "Zhao Zhao... Have you seen Zhao Zhao? I made her angry. She said... she never wanted to see me again. But some people say she's dead."

The disciple of the immortal sect impatiently pushed him away, and the boy fell to the ground, with several bloody marks on his palms.

The disciple said unhappily, "She is indeed dead. In order to stop those mutated monsters, she was pushed into the Seven Star Hammer Formation and sacrificed. Not even her body was left."

"Dead..." The young man sat on the ground, blankly repeating these two words. He didn't understand what sacrifice meant, what a demon was, he only knew that "dead" meant he would never see Zhao Zhao again.

The disciple ignored him and turned to walk forward with his companions. The sound of their conversation drifted into the young man's ears on the wind.

"That little fool actually still misses Shen Zhaozhao. Shen Zhaozhao relied on her father being an elder to be arrogant and willful, and acted cruelly and viciously. I've disliked her for a long time. But she did do a good thing before she died. After she sacrificed her life in battle, the demon clan suffered heavy casualties, including the young demon clan leader. The demon emperor Su Li took advantage of the chaos to steal their ancient magic weapon, the Jade Ruyi."

"If the demons hadn't harnessed the power of magic weapons to greatly increase their strength, we wouldn't have been defeated by all ten sects and forced to sacrifice Shen Zhaozhao."

"Hey, do you think that the clan leaders are actually quite cold-blooded?"

"How to say?"

"The demons have ancient magic weapons, and the immortal world also has ancient artifacts, but the sect leaders are unwilling to use ancient artifacts."

"You're stupid! Activating the ancient artifact will consume a lot of our spiritual energy and may even hurt us. Sacrificing Shen Zhaozhao now is a good idea."

"Speaking of ancient magic weapons, have you heard a rumor?"

"What rumors?"

"There's a legend that says that thing can not only increase the demons' strength, but can also... even reverse time and space! I just don't know if it's true or not."

The words "reverse time and space" were like thunder, waking the confused young man. He suddenly stood up and ran towards the demon world without hesitation, repeating over and over again: "Reverse time and space... find Zhao Zhao..."

The branches had torn holes in his coarse cloth clothes, and the stones had rubbed his feet until they bled, but he seemed not to feel the pain and just kept running forward.

He didn't know where the demon world was, so he caught some demon beasts to ask for directions. Some demon beasts were timid and showed him the way.

He stumbled through the thorn bushes, broke through the forest where monsters were lurking, and finally reached the gate of the palace in the demon world.

Inside the hall, Su Li was playing with the jade ruyi in his hand, when he suddenly saw a human boy covered in wounds rushing in, and he immediately frowned.

The young man was stopped by his men, but he still struggled forward, repeating: "I want the ancient magic weapon..."

Su Li couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Where did this fool come from, daring to enter my demon world?"

The young man ignored his words and stared at the jade ruyi. He opened his mouth to speak but coughed up blood first.

Su Li condensed the demonic power at his fingertips and flicked the finger lightly. The boy crashed into the stone pillar like a kite with a broken string, and then fell heavily to the ground. The blood flowing out of his mouth dyed the floor tiles in front of him red.

But the young man struggled to get up again, and moved towards him covered in blood. His movements were clumsy and stubborn, but he was soon pinned to the ground by the Demon King's men.

Su Li waved his hand to dismiss his men and looked at him with interest: "What do you want the jade ruyi for?"

The young man lay on the ground, struggling to raise his head. Blood foam hung from the corner of his mouth. He still stumbled over his words, but was incredibly determined: "I, I want to reverse time and space... resurrect Zhao Zhao..."

Su Li stared at him for a long time and thought that this fool was quite interesting.

Reversing time and space? He had also heard of this legendary function of the magic weapon.

It just so happened that he didn't want to live anymore.

He wanted to see if this fool had the ability to reverse time and space.

If I could do it all over again, would anything be different?

He was looking forward to it.

Su Li flicked his fingertips, and a warm jade Ruyi fell in front of the young man: "Take it."

An awkward smile instantly appeared on the boy's face.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly and carefully grasped the cold jade body. The moment his fingertips touched the jade ruyi, some fragments of memory suddenly surged in his mind.

He ran out of the demon world, followed the movements in his mind, tore open his soul and injected it into the jade ruyi.

A pale blue light burst out from the jade ruyi, wrapping the young man in it. Fragments of time and space flowed and reversed in the light, and a new dimension opened up.

"Awen!"

The surrounding scene kept changing. Shen Zhaozhao opened his eyes and found himself in reality.

She wiped the water off her face that had fallen on her face without her knowing when.

It turns out that her rebirth was never accidental. It turns out that this is what Zhu Yun said about cause and effect.

The world she went to was not a new world, but their previous life. The current world was the new world that Awen opened up with the power of Yu Ruyi.

Shen Zhaozhao asked hoarsely, "So, to activate the Jade Ruyi's power to reverse time and space, what did A-wen pay?"

Zhu Yun: "Using your own soul as a guide, at the cost of no afterlife, the two worlds are in a cycle of cause and effect. This is also the reason why you cannot resurrect him."

From the beginning, it was a dead end.
