My disciple's cultivation returns ten thousand times, so I have to be invincible.

The goddess slowly raised her hand, and countless ribbons surrounded Jiang Ling'er, but they did not bind or suppress her. On the contrary, a gentle force linked her and Jiang Ling'er together.

With the infusion of this power, Jiang Ling'er felt her depleted strength rapidly recovering, and she looked at the goddess in front of her in surprise.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and the goddess smiled and spoke.

"If it were me in the past, I probably would have done that."

"After all, I still have my obsessions."

The goddess gazed at Jiang Ling'er, but her eyes seemed to drift away, traversing time and space to see scenes from hundreds of millions of years ago.

“Hundreds of millions of years ago, a great calamity destroyed everything, even the sacred land of Gushe.”

"But that was the happiest time of my life, walking side by side with that person."

Her thoughts returned to the present, and she looked at Jiang Ling'er with gentle eyes.

"You are my next life, and I am your past life."

"I died hundreds of millions of years ago."

"And this is my own choice."

"I chose to enter the cycle of reincarnation, just to preserve my memories."

"However, even I didn't expect that you, who successfully reincarnated, lost your memories, while my memories continued in this unexpected way."

"It seems my plan has failed."

Jiang Ling'er did not speak.

The goddess of Gusha's smile deepened even further.

"I should have been extremely unwilling."

"I would rather die than not retain this memory, just so that when I meet that person again after reincarnation, I can still remember him."

"But just now... everything changed."

"You saw my memories, and I... saw yours too."

Jiang Ling'er was slightly taken aback, then recalled some scenes from the light and shadow just now, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

But the goddess's eyes were filled with countless emotions.

"I never imagined that even without my memories, even without recognizing him."

"You and him... meet again and form a bond in this way once more."

"The moment I saw these, I understood."

The goddess looked at Jiang Ling'er and said earnestly.

"Everything I did was to preserve my memories of him."

"But you proved that even if neither of us has the memory of that time, our fate has not been severed, and our story continues."

As they spoke, the torrent of power connecting Jiang Ling'er and the goddess grew stronger and stronger, and the distance between them was brought closer and closer.

When the goddess uttered these words, the two were already very close.

The goddess slowly raised her hand and gently stroked the face of her other self.

Jiang Ling'er also subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face from her past life.

"The goddess said softly."

"I used to think that memory was the most precious thing, even more precious than life itself."

"But now I've discovered that the connection between him and me, and between you and him, can continue even without memories."

"This is something that transcends everything, something that transcends reincarnation."

The curve of the goddess's lips was breathtakingly beautiful.

Is there anything more delightful than this?

Jiang Ling'er suddenly realized.

She seemed to sense something, yet she also seemed not to.

The goddess smiled.

"That's more than enough."

"So, it's time for me to finish this road that has been walked for hundreds of millions of years."

At this moment, the goddess's body began to be enveloped in light, gradually fading away. Along with the torrent of power, it transformed into starlight, continuously merging into Jiang Ling'er's body.

"The cycle of reincarnation in the past was flawed, and now it's time to make up for it."

In their final moments, their eyes remained locked on each other.

"The obsession of a billion years has been resolved; let the past remain in the past."

"You are me, and I am you."

After uttering these last words, the goddess's body completely disappeared, merging with Jiang Ling'er.

Jiang Ling'er's aura also became completely different from before, constantly sublimating and transforming, eventually reaching an unprecedented level.

Her eyes changed completely.

The goddess's final murmur lingered in her mind.

"However, looking back, I still have a small regret."

"When you see him again, please make it up to him for me."

The murmurs drifted away on the wind.

The light that had enveloped the two of them completely disappeared.

Amidst the stardust, only one figure remained.

Jiang Ling'er stood still, amidst the dazzling nebula, her gaze calm and thoughtful.

She never expected it to end like this.

But everything seemed to fall into place naturally.

After all, she was once a goddess.

Therefore, she can naturally understand her own feelings and thoughts.

The goddess voluntarily gave up her past self and merged with Jiang Ling'er.

Although Jiang Ling'er still retains her former self-awareness, she has changed a lot.

With the complete memories of the goddess from back then integrated, her self now includes a part of the goddess, and even a part of the memories and essence of the priest "Seven".

This made Jiang Ling'er completely different now.

She slowly raised her hand and looked at her palm.

"rest assured……"

"I'll tell him."

"This is also my regret."

"After all, you are me, and I am you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ling'er raised her head again and looked at the distant starry sky.

Neither of them had the energy to pay attention to the outside world.

Only now do we realize that the endless starry sky beyond the nebula has been distorted to a certain extent, and the stars seem to have turned into a vortex.

Since the great catastrophe hundreds of millions of years ago, unprecedented and terrifying changes have begun to occur.

"Coming?"

Jiang Ling'er's gaze calmed down.

Having absorbed some of the memories of the priestess "Seven," she was well aware of what was happening now.

The being the priests were summoning was a terror on par with the primordial gods and demons.

finally come.

The starry sky is no longer what it used to be!
