Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

Ultimately, under the female cultivator's insistence, Lin Yun did not press the matter further, as it was almost impossible to obtain the answer from her under these circumstances.

However, after considering certain conditions, Lin Yun already had his own guesses.

If she still appears in the City Beyond the Boundary in this life, then it is very likely that person...

After all, the city outside the boundary is only so big. Female cultivators and righteous people would meddle in other people's business, and they would have the opportunity to take her back to her sect. Even if she used the process of elimination, she could find out.

No, there's really only one answer...

But as the other party said, even if it really is the person she is thinking of, then they are not the same person.

Therefore, Lin Yun respected her wishes and did not press the matter further...

Just then, the light emanating from the female cultivator in front of them began to dim gradually, becoming almost transparent.

Seeing this, the female cultivator remained calm and said with a smile.

"Looks like my time has come."

For her, this was tantamount to death, but it didn't matter anymore.

However, Lin Yun, who was standing in front of her, looked at this scene with a hint of sadness in his eyes, as well as reluctance to part with her.

But he also understood that no matter how reluctant he was, there was nothing he could do...

No, there is still one thing we can do.

He took a deep breath and looked at the female cultivator slowly.

"Thank you. One day, I will ensure that your spirit in heaven witnesses the day when the Lord of the End is defeated!"

This is the last thing I can give her: a confident promise!

Upon seeing this, the female cultivator paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Well, I believe you can do it."

After she finished speaking, she keenly noticed the sadness in Lin Yun's expression.

After all, she had spent so much time with Lin Yun that she could almost tell what he was thinking just by the way he opened his mouth.

Then, she said with a faint smile, "On the other hand, you don't need to be too sad about my disappearance."

Do you remember something I told you before?

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun asked in confusion.

"What?"

The female cultivator gazed at him and chuckled softly, "Fate has long bound me to you."

"Whether in the past or in the future, I will never leave your side. I will always be with you, becoming your sharpest sword and your strongest support!"

Lin Yun was stunned by her earnest words.

Your own sharpest sword?

The strongest backing?

Upon further reflection, Lin Yun suddenly realized the truth.

Yes, although her physical body has disappeared, her will has long been bound to him along with the orphanage system.

From the beginning to the future, I think she will never leave me...

He immediately nodded and smiled.

"Yes, thank you..."

Seeing that he understood, the female cultivator smiled with relief.

At that very moment, her body completely dissipated, turning into countless specks of light that scattered in all directions...

Lin Yun watched this scene quietly, without much pain or resentment.

He lowered his head, gently touched his chest, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Then let us defeat the end together."

Before long, the surrounding void collapsed rapidly, and Lin Yun suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had been startled awake from a dream.

When he turned his head to look around, he found Xuezhi staring at him closely with a puzzled expression.

"Uh, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Yun was taken aback, and this question left Xue Zhi feeling frustrated.

She straightened up and looked at Lin Yun strangely.

"What do you mean I'm watching you? Ever since you opened the scroll, you've been like you've lost your soul. I was worried something had happened to you."

Lin Yun's behavior just now really startled her.

If the other person hadn't been in perfect health, she would have suspected that Lin Yun had been attacked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun smiled helplessly.

"Sorry for making you worry."

It seems that my consciousness was just sucked into the scroll.

At this moment, Xuezhi crossed her arms and looked at him, asking a question.

"So, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yun pondered for a moment, then said helplessly.

"Well, that's a long story."

"Hmm? So there's a story behind this?"

Upon hearing this, Xuezhi immediately perked up, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at him.

Seeing this, Lin Yun pondered for a moment, thinking that since he had received so many benefits from them, it wouldn't be right to remain silent.

In the end, I decided to briefly explain it to her.

Not long after, inside the tree hole of the Tree of Laws, Lin Yun told Xue Zhi about the contents of the next scroll.

However, explaining this inevitably required providing her with some background information, namely her experience of infinitely rewinding time.

Of course, he used the art of language to conceal the existence of the system.

In the end, what Xuezhi found most interesting and amazing was that Lin Yun had actually experienced her mother's entire life.

Hundreds of billions of years! Just thinking about it is unbelievable. If it were me, I probably would have gone crazy by now.

After learning the whole story, Xuezhi sighed.

"I never expected so much to happen in just a short time. No wonder you broke through."

Originally, she thought that Lin Yun would come out in less than an hour, which must have been an easy and pleasant breakthrough process.

Looking back now, I realize I had oversimplified things.

Lin Yun shrugged and chuckled.

"It's alright, looking back now, it was quite a special experience."

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to experience the entire life of a tree...

"Yes, it is indeed very special..."

Xuezhi nodded, but then, remembering something, her face flushed for a moment, showing a hint of shyness.

"correct……"

Seeing her strange expression, Lin Yun asked in confusion.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

At this moment, Xuezhi asked tentatively.

"You mean you saw all of Mother's memories?"

"Yes, not a single one was missed."

Lin Yun smiled and nodded, even adding insult to injury.

"Oh right, I've seen everything about your life, including your entire upbringing."

He had only mentioned it casually, but it hit the bullseye, and Xuezhi blushed unexpectedly.

"In other words, what I looked like when I was a child, and what I usually do inside the cave..."

"You usually stay inside the cave?"

Lin Yun was taken aback, initially not understanding what she meant.

But seeing her shy expression, and recalling the memories of Xuezhi that he had seen, he immediately understood.

Immediately, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said with a smile.

"What do you mean? Fellow Daoist Xue, are you asking about what it's like when you bathe and change clothes in the tree hollow?"

Xuezhi nodded and pursed her lips.

"Yeah, you didn't see all of this, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun helplessly shrugged.

"Although I really want to deny it, the fact is, I saw it all."
