Bound to Mary Sue, I am against involution in the world of immortal cultivation

The abyss has never been a gentle thing. Even if it exists in the body of the former Demon Lord, it will never choose to disappear quietly after the owner of the body loses the ability to control it.

"No traces have been found within a hundred miles."

"Could it be that my disciple really has such great ability?" Qian Jiangyue, who had never really believed the rumors from the outside world, fell into deep thought.

Even though it was inappropriate, she couldn't help but add one more sentence: "Am I really that discerning? I can accept such a rare genius as my first disciple...?"

Upon hearing this, the sect leader was visibly stunned.

He seemed to feel that there was something wrong with what he said, but after trying to think about the meaning of the words again and again, he still couldn't find what was really wrong.

"Brother?" Qian Jiangyue noticed the look in his eyes and asked in confusion, "You're looking at me like that because you remembered something?"

Rong Zhao also turned his gaze towards him.

The slight sense of disharmony in my heart disappeared in an instant.

"No, it's no problem," the headmaster nodded, his serious eyes narrowing slightly. "Let's continue gathering information about the demonic world. If this 'wedding' is real, we must be prepared to make a trip."

"..."

"Are you so sure they can remain sane?"

At the same time, Ling You also brought up the same topic, "That's the intervention of Heaven..."

"Isn't the abyss also a part of the way of heaven?" There is no reason why the East family can do it but the West family can't.

"The promise that the Yueli Sect leader made to me will not be tampered with or forgotten," Fan Ning said in a very relaxed tone. "The declining Heavenly Dao definitely does not have the power it had in its heyday. The fact that I have survived until now is the best proof of its incompetence."

When Fan Ning said this, a person's eyes gradually appeared in his mind.

Urgent, cold, and always seems to be out of touch with the world.

"Some changes have already occurred," she flipped through the message Qin Mingzheng sent as scheduled. The other party was still able to maintain a certain degree of clarity, entirely relying on their long-term contract. Fan Ning took out a copy of it and found, not surprisingly, that a name that should have existed on it had completely disappeared.

"Jiang Biehe..."

"What's wrong?" Ling You frowned, sensing something in her tone, and also looked at the paper full of words. Then, as if realizing something was wrong, he widened his eyes in surprise.

"She...disappeared?"

"This is just the beginning," Fan Ning said coldly, suppressing the corner of her mouth. Her gaze crossed the letter and met another face that didn't exist there. "People will forget her past, and then they won't remember her face... until all existence of this person is completely erased."

"This is the part outside the contract—and within it, those who have already fallen won't notice anything unusual."

"This is too scary," Ling You held down Fan Ning's hand hanging under the table. The moment he heard such speculation, the first person he thought of was Fan Ning, who had been targeted by Heaven in another sense.

"Will you become like this too?" he asked cautiously.

Even the memory was taken away, even the existence was erased——

"Don't be afraid," Fan Ning patted his hand, and smiled softly as if to comfort him, "I am the omnipotent Fan Ning."

"..."

"You didn't deny it." Ling You was now becoming very difficult to fool. He stared straight into Fan Ning's eyes, his expression different from every time. "I don't want to forget you, and I can't forget you."

What’s the difference between that and directly digging out a piece of your heart?

Does he have to search for a shadow that leaves no trace in hesitation from now on?

Forgetting is just forgetting, it cannot take away true feelings.

"I shouldn't have indulged you," Ling You gritted his teeth, and for the first time, he resented his obedience to Fan Ning. "If I hadn't let you take away the power of the Heavenly Dao within your body..."

"Then we all have no future."

"You'd rather disappear together than forget me?" Fan Ning suppressed his lips as he was about to say something else and sighed, "Those are touching words, but running away is useless."

"..."

"Will you abandon me?" Ling You looked at her.

Concealing and deceiving others about something that is bound to happen later is not the best option - because there is no need.

"I promise you, what you are afraid of will never happen."

"I will be the ultimate winner," Fan Ning said in a serious tone similar to Ling You's, but the difference was that she was even more certain, as if she had peered through the quagmire into a clearer future. "Memories, the past... they are all written by the winners."

Ling You laughed, as if the ice and snow had just melted, and he laughed for a sentence that had not yet been verified.

-

Jiang Biehe's disappearance is a sign of impending storm.

When she appeared in front of Fan Ning again, the shadow of her old friend had completely disappeared from her.

On the eve of the wedding, the two looked at each other through an open door, but even with just a glance, Fan Ning knew clearly that the soul in this body was no longer the soul he was familiar with.

"Junior sister, long time no see."

"You'd better not call me that," Fan Ning snorted, her eyes cold. "You're not her. No matter how hard you try to imitate her, you can't trick me."

"It seems like you still have some real feelings for her." Hearing this, the other person simply smiled, the curve of his lips perfectly balanced, as if the expression on Fan Ning's face had been copied and pasted. "I'm sorry, you won't see her again."

Fan Ning didn't continue the conversation. Instead, he raised his eyes slightly and said in a cold tone, "Don't say such baseless things. It will be meaningless to our subsequent conversation."

"...I thought you didn't want to be in the same room with a face like mine."

"Does a mere Heavenly Dao dare to guess my thoughts?"

"You're so brave to say that."

The true incarnation of Heaven's Dao lost the curve at the corner of her mouth. She suddenly looked at the person in front of her intently and asked without reason, "There's one thing I really want to know."

"How can a person who has no past at all stand before me and speak such big words?"

"You will know tomorrow." Even after his own weirdness was pointed out, Fan Ning's face remained calm. He even had time to poke the system that was disconnected from time to time. After not getting a response again, he left a "complaint message" from the host with ease.

"Have you seen your end?"

The incarnation of Heaven stopped and stood one step away from Fan Ning, his aura suddenly becoming cold.

"Yes, I saw it," Fan Ning curled the corners of his lips, standing before the rules of this world with an open mind, without a trace of fear, "That is a happy and beautiful ending."
