Even hybrid monsters have their day

As they were talking, with a "click," the cage opened, and Geng Miaowan dashed out, followed closely by Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aoxuan.

"Ruwen, you and Aoxuan go over there and rescue Aohan and Aoran. I need to hurry to that cave to check it out. Now that they know the secret in the cave, they will definitely try to destroy the life force of Buzhou Mountain. Remember, you must be careful."

Time was of the essence, so Huangfu Aoxuan and Xu Ruwen didn't say much, only glancing at her with concern, "You should also be careful."

After the two left, Geng Miaowan apologized to Peng Yuxian again, because she really had no way to rescue him. Peng Yuxian just smiled and told her not to worry about him, and that restoring the vitality of Buzhou Mountain was the most urgent task.

She glanced at Peng Xian again before turning and walking towards the gate leading to the human world. Actually, she wanted to see Luan Hao, but she was afraid that Qiu Pi and Haotian would destroy the life force of Buzhou Mountain, and then there would be no way to save it.

So she suppressed her thoughts and, together with Zhang Zijian, hurried towards Buzhou Mountain.

Perhaps because Qiu Pi was extremely confident that locking her up would eliminate any worries, they ran wildly without encountering any obstacles and soon left the Demon Realm, returning to Buzhou Mountain.

Originally, Geng Miaowan thought the demonic energy on Mount Buzhou would be intense and overwhelming, but after stepping onto Mount Buzhou from the Demon Realm, she felt that the air here was incredibly fresh.

The two rushed to the cave, the place of life in Buzhou Mountain that Peng Yuxian had mentioned.

Sure enough, Qiu Pi was searching for something in the cave. When he saw Geng Miaowan appear, he was shocked, but when he saw the stranger who appeared afterward, he understood. He had planned everything, but he had overlooked something.

He knew why she had come, and of course, he couldn't let her succeed. If she truly repaired Tianji and released Dongfang Liancheng as Peng Yuxian claimed, he would surely be banished back to the Demon Realm. At that point, he would likely find it difficult to even see her, let alone be with her for the long term.

Qiu Pi's gaze shifted, and he easily spotted Su Yun'er lying in the crystal coffin. Despite having the exact same face as Geng Miaowan, he knew she wasn't her the first time he saw her, and he remained completely indifferent to her.

Thinking of Peng Yuxian's words that Geng Miaowan herself was Tianjishi, he dared not imagine where she would end up, a kind of self-deception.

"Wan'er, do you really want to restore the life force of Buzhou Mountain?"

"Of course, do you expect me to just stand by and watch you and Haotian trample humanity underfoot?" Moreover, there's something even more serious: some of the outer spaces have already begun to be destroyed. If they aren't repaired, sooner or later this place will also be destroyed, and the whole world will return to its origin. She didn't say this out loud.

"But have you ever considered that you yourself are the Heavenly Stone? If you want to restore life, what price will you have to pay?"

Geng Miaowan was taken aback. Although she had heard Peng Yuxian mention it, she didn't seem to have thought about this issue before.

According to Peng Yuxian, if she wants to restore the vitality of Buzhou Mountain, she needs to put all the scattered Tianji Stones back. Since she herself is a Tianji Stone, does this mean she needs to fill the cave with herself as well?

Just as Yin Qianze burned her own life to activate the vitality of Qingshan, she also needs to sacrifice her life to restore the vitality of Buzhou Mountain.

Thinking about it this way, she suddenly felt a little unsettled, and at the same time, she secretly admired Yin Qianze. How much determination must it have taken to put herself out of danger?

But then she thought again, even if she didn't restore the life force, she would still die after all the spaces were destroyed; it was just a matter of dying sooner or later, not much difference in essence. Besides, she could feel the life force of Buzhou Mountain calling to her.

She had that strange feeling when she entered the cave last time, initially thinking it was just due to the abundant spiritual energy there. But now, after hearing Peng Yuxian talk about it, she realized that this feeling was like a connection, an unbreakable bond. No wonder spiritual energy came to her when she was injured; that spiritual energy must have found her through this connection as well.

Geng Miaowan let out a long sigh, filled with a mix of emotions. If she could, she wouldn't want to do that, but after learning about these things, she couldn't ignore her mission and live a life of ignoring everything.

So be it, she's not dead for the first time anyway. At most, she'll just be reincarnated in the underworld. She chose to sacrifice herself for the sake of all living beings; perhaps Yama will arrange a good rebirth for her.

She comforted herself like this.

Seeing that Geng Miaowan remained silent for a long time, sighing and complaining, Qiu Pi assumed that she was also unhappy about being used as a stone to fill some kind of life-giving vessel. He pressed on while the iron was hot, saying, "Think about it, why should they make you make such a big sacrifice?"

“You’re right, they really shouldn’t have done that,” Geng Miaowan glanced casually at Su Yun’er in the crystal coffin, finding it hard to see her as herself. Then she turned her gaze to Qiu Pi, noticing a faint smile on his face because of her words. “But if they hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t be who I am today. Everything was decided the moment I entered this body.”

Are you just going to accept your fate like this?

"Of course I'm not willing to accept this fate. As long as I restore my life force, I can break free from this destiny. If I don't, then I will be burdened with this heavy shackle forever. Forget it, I won't say any more to you. I advise you to go back to the demon realm. I don't care what you did to Gongye Hong, but I don't want anything to happen to you. At least the original owner of this body didn't want anything to happen to you."

When she learned that Qiu Pi was an obsession that Peng Yuxian had extracted from his body, she suddenly felt no resentment towards his actions. As an obsession, he too would find it difficult to escape his fate, unable to suppress his love for Su Yun'er.

The reason he was so fixated on her was entirely because her soul bore the shadow of Su Yun'er. Thinking about it this way, it seemed she had found the reason why Haotian was so determined to be with her; needless to say, it was because of the spiritual power belonging to Luan Hao within his body.

After Geng Miaowan finished speaking, she ignored him and focused her mind, trying to find the source of life in Buzhou Mountain. However, Qiu Pi did not intend to let her go so easily. With a thought, he appeared in front of her and made a move.
