After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

She clutched her chest, gasping for breath, and hot tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably, dripping into the shimmering starry sky.

How many lifetimes has she been reincarnated?

Ten lifetimes? A hundred lifetimes? A thousand lifetimes?

So many memories of reincarnation exploded in her mind like a thunderstorm, causing her excruciating pain, as if her head was no longer her own. But the clearer the past memories became, the more intense the pain in her heart became, so intense that for a moment, she could only feel endless desolation and chaos, as if she could not see the end of the memories and emotions.

However, at that moment, the dazzling starry sky before her eyes began to change.

It first transformed into a vast, boundless grassland, covered with all sorts of wildflowers that swayed in the wind, filling the air with a refreshing fragrance.

A charming and lovely little girl's voice came from somewhere, her silvery laughter wafting through the fragrance of grass, trees, and flowers, bringing joy to everyone's heart and dispelling all worries.

“Li Qian,” the voice called to her, with a sweet smile, “you’ve finally come here to see me. I’ve been waiting for you for so long.”

"Who are you?" Jiang Li frowned slightly, alertly summoning the Heavenly Sword and scanning her surroundings warily.

This place is definitely not the Karma Pavilion that Shi Yunyu took her to, and the fluctuations of power around her don't seem to be any kind of spatial barrier.

Who is this person with such great power that they could drag a Mahayana cultivator like her to this strange place in the important Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?

The surrounding scenery became increasingly colorful and beautiful, even the sky turned into a brilliant peach pink and rouge red, and the wind blowing in the air became gentler.

The voice changed, becoming mature and gentle, like the murmur of a loved one.

"According to the established order and ethics of your human race, you should call me Mother."

Mother?

Jiang Liqian looked up in shock.

"You are……"

"All things begin with me and end with me. I created you with all my heart and soul, my dear daughter."

Jiang Liqian suddenly took a step back, her heart churning violently, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

It is...it is the will of Heaven!

It is the Heavenly Dao that sustains all things in this small world!

It actually came to find her in person.

She closed her eyes, and the turmoil in her heart turned into a scalding hot sea.

The supreme ruler, who once looked down upon everything, finally lowered his head to look at the ants struggling to survive.

good very good.

Its head should be lowered, lowered to the dust, and it should open its eyes and take a good look at them!

It created them, but that doesn't mean they are its servants, puppets it can manipulate at will!

"You said you'd wait for me, but what for? You don't mean you want me to 'serve' you like a daughter, do you?"

The voice paused for a moment, then changed to a curious boy's voice: "Are you resentful?"

"I have given you the best of everything: a privileged and noble family background, powerful and loving parents, a gifted elder brother, the love and respect of the entire clan, and you yourself, with unparalleled talent and aptitude, a fiancé who is the holy son of the divine race, a master who is the number one cultivator, fellow disciples who respect and admire you, junior brothers and sisters on your left and right, a high and mighty status, an unparalleled and beautiful appearance, and an unyielding and powerful fortune... Countless rare and precious treasures will flow into your pockets, and countless immortal techniques and secret manuals will be at your disposal."

"I have carefully nurtured you into the most beautiful flower, giving you your current strength, character, and spirit... According to human sentiments, you should be grateful to me, shouldn't you?"

Jiang Li lowered her eyes slightly, her snow-white dress fluttering in the wind, and the gold bells at her temples jingling softly with the swaying of her hairpins.

Hearing that voice always puts her at ease.

She began, "Let me tell you a story."

“I have a mother. She was not born into a noble family, she had no spiritual roots, she was just an ordinary mortal. She did not have a good family background, she did not have extensive knowledge or the upbringing of a lady from a respectable family. She could not even read. She was sold to other people’s families to be a maid, and later she became a wet nurse.”

The voice of Heaven turned into the sound of impatient flowing water, but strangely, she could understand what it was saying.

"I know that she protected you, which is why you were able to survive and return to the cultivation world."

"I'm keeping her by your side for this reason. You have to stay alive to see me, and I have to see you, the child I created with my own hands."

Jiang Li chuckled softly, seemingly both furious and utterly helpless: "Such a light and airy remark."

With just this one sentence, all the hardships and human kindness involved were erased.

So this is what it means to be ruthless.

"What if I told you that there were many times when she wanted to throw me away and leave me to fend for myself?"

Heaven's will is arrogant: "What good is it if she wants to? She cannot defy the destiny I have set. She is destined to save you and is destined to dedicate everything to you."

Jiang Liqian did not refute it.

She knew it wasn't necessary.

She continued speaking to herself: "Back then, the Jiang family was attacked by their enemies, and the whole family was in imminent danger. I was abandoned by my father and mother, and my wet nurse carried me as we evaded the pursuers. We were eventually forced to the Mortal Well."

"She is a mortal who finally came to the cultivation world with the help of her mother's dowry. She receives resources every month that she cannot enjoy in the mortal realm. To make her choose to go back to the mortal realm is tantamount to murdering her."

“At the Mortal Well, if she had just thrown me away, no one would have made things difficult for her, a mortal without even a spiritual root. She really did think about abandoning me, but I selfishly grabbed her sleeve. She couldn’t bear it, so she gritted her teeth and jumped into the Mortal Well with me, thus escaping those people’s attempts to kill her.”

Speaking of this period in the past, which was clearly her most turbulent and darkest time, when she looks back, besides sadness, there is also an overwhelming warmth in her heart.

Thinking of that person whose face I can no longer remember, it always feels as if she is still by my side, accompanying me and watching over me.

"I am a person with spiritual roots, from the cultivation world. Unlike ordinary people in the mortal realm, ten days for them is only one day for me. In the mortal realm, twenty years is equivalent to two years of life. Because of this special situation, my wet nurse has to move me every now and then so that people can't see my abnormality."

"But this made it even harder for her, who was already struggling to support me, to survive. With me by her side, she had no stable life, no stable relatives and friends, no stable job, and not even a stable husband with whom she could support each other. I was a burden to her, a heavy and dangerous burden."

"It's not that she hasn't met men who cherished and loved her. She's also wondered if she could be better off with someone who loves her, without me. But after the candles burned all night, she still took me away the next day."
