The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Wen Li is dead... right?

She wasn't quite sure either; if someone died, they would go to the underworld, and if their soul was scattered, they would be unconscious.

But now it seems her consciousness is locked in a small, dark room.

Here she saw that book again—"The Path to Godhood".

This seems to be the book I first saw when I was reborn, but upon opening it, I found many differences, including an additional preface.

The preface of the book mentions the cultivation world a thousand years ago, where Qingdeng brought Jiang Jiu back to the immortal realm in an attempt to reform him.

At that time, Qingdeng had many disciples, among whom the most outstanding was Immortal Lord Xiyu. During each disciple's apprenticeship ceremony, Qingdeng would not only bestow upon them magical artifacts and elixirs, but also present them with a spatial jade pendant that he had personally carved.

Jiang Jiu was the only one who didn't have it.

This infuriated Jiang Jiu. She made herself a terrible space jade pendant and even made an extra one, which she threw to Qingdeng. She then shamelessly declared that she would take him as her disciple.

The girl was very ambitious. She believed that in less than a hundred years, she would not only become an immortal but also a god, and at that time, Qingdeng should become her disciple.

Later, she returned to the Jiujiang Sect and distributed the spatial jade pendant to all her disciples in bulk. As a result, the Jiujiang Sect gained fame and became a well-known and wealthy sect.

After Jiang Jiu's death, Qingdeng sent someone to return the jade pendant that Jiang Jiu had given him to the Jiujiang Sect, and instructed that the jade pendant could suppress all demonic nature.

The jade pendant was passed down through generations to the head of the family, because they all guessed that if she returned, she would definitely be the most outstanding and ambitious person in the family.

This jade pendant was originally modified by Qingdeng to destroy the demonic bone. It is incompatible with the demonic bone, so she can stay conscious by wearing it. In essence, it weakens the demonic nature of the demonic bone.

It seems that Shen Yingsi also has the memories of Qingdeng and knows how to use this jade pendant to kill her.

Damn it, they've been plotting behind my back for so long.

After reading the preface, Wen Li eagerly turned to the main text, and sure enough, she had replaced Shen Yannan as the true villain.

Aside from some minor differences, the general path of a male protagonist's growth remains unchanged: after many trials and tribulations, he finally becomes a god, the world is free of demons, and people live happily ever after...

But a book is just a book; it doesn't tell you about her life. It only briefly touches on her lonely childhood, her confusion in the pursuit of the truth, and her struggles with demonic possession...

The book doesn't describe her relationship with Shen Yingsi, nor does it depict their mutual affection, understanding, and utter helplessness...

Many places that were difficult to delete were replaced with names of unknown people.

Wen Li also felt that many of Shen Yingsi's psychological descriptions were the author's imagination.

Like when she was framed by Xie Wanzhou in Danli, the book says that Shen Yingsi was in seclusion and unaware of it. She was rescued by someone who looked like the Crown Prince...

Wen Li looked at it over and over, but couldn't find any evidence that they were mutually in love.

Perhaps it was fake all along.

She flipped back to the front, searching carefully, when her gaze suddenly stopped.

That was just one of the most ordinary experiences the protagonist had ever had: snow, a girl, a puppy, hibiscus cake...

The book tells the story of a young boy who, after a day of setbacks, saves a kind little girl and her dog, which finally restores his faith in saving humanity...

Wen Li's gaze lingered for a long time, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Wen Li didn't know how long she had been imprisoned, nor how much longer she would have to be imprisoned.

Instead of the fear I imagined, I gradually felt relaxed, and my once uneasy and painful heart was healing itself little by little.

Everything was irrelevant to her now; she no longer needed to care about what others were like.

Wen Li thought she would be trapped in this place for a long time and never get out, until one day she suddenly heard someone calling her.

"Ah Xun! Ah Xun! What are you doing standing there all by yourself? Come here quickly!"

"Wake up! Come and play with us!"

"Wake up, wake up..."

Wake up... wake up...

Wen Li struggled to open her eyes, and what she saw was an unfamiliar face. The girl reached out to take her hand when she saw that she had opened her eyes, but Wen Li dodged away.

The girl froze, then asked curiously, "Ah Xun, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Wen Li didn't answer and subconsciously tried to summon the flower rain, but her hand missed.

She's not dead?

Has she been reborn?

She asked instinctively, "Where is Shen Yingsi?"

The sound of waves reached her ears, and she quickly recognized the place after looking around.

This is Zishui City...

"No, don't call God by his name. God will hear everything we say."

"Ah Xun? What's wrong?"

The girl approached again, and Wen Li quickly retreated. Then another group of people ran over, men and women, making a lot of noise.

But she didn't seem to know any of them.

"Ah Xun, stop sleeping in here. We agreed to practice swordsmanship together."

Wen Li looked at her hands and body, then touched her face.

"What did you call me? Who am I?"

Before they could answer, she took two steps back, turned, and ran towards the sea. Everyone was so frightened that they quickly gave chase. Just when everyone thought she was about to do something foolish, Wen Li stopped again.

She stared at the reflection in the seawater; it was definitely her own body.

"Ah Xun, what's wrong? You're Jiang Xunzhi."

"Jiang Xunzhi? Who...is he?"

The group exchanged glances and replied with a puzzled look, "Jiang Xunzhi is you. You are a descendant of the Jiang family of Nanhai and a good friend of ours."

"...descendants of the Jiang family of the South China Sea?"

"It's the Jiang family, isn't your uncle Jiang Yanyu, the former head of the Jiang family?"

"Then my father..."

“Your father is Jiang Yanqing, right? I remember you said it yourself. Your father was a child of the Jiang family who was lost in the early years. He never went far from home, but he always had a regret in his heart, which was to find his family. You came to the South China Sea to fulfill your father’s last wish and finally found out about your background with the help of the jade pendant.”

This is such a ridiculous story, it sounds so fake.

"Did I say that myself?"

"Yes! You said it yourself."

"You all believed me just because I said that?"

Without hesitation, the group said firmly, "Of course, I remember it should be like this. You should be Jiang Xunzhi."

Wen Li suspected these people were playing a trick on her. "Look carefully! I! I'm clearly Wen Li!"

The group answered in unison, "No, you're not. You just look a bit like your cousin, Wen Li."

"What cousin? I am Wen Li! I don't just look a little bit like her, I look exactly the same!"

"No, you're not, you're Jiang Xunzhi..."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade them, Wen Li asked again, "Okay, if I'm not Wen Li, then where is my cousin Wen Li? Where is she?"

"She's dead. She was killed by a god, but before she died, she used up all her cultivation to cure the rabbit's disease, which can be considered as making amends for her sins."

Wen Li was even more bewildered. She had become her cousin? And she had even cured the rabbit's disease?

"Did Wenli cure the rabbit's disease?"

"Yes, we all remember."

After they finished speaking, they looked at Wen Li with a puzzled expression. Wasn't this something everyone already knew?

"When? When did she cure the rabbit disease? Did you all see it?"

"It should have been two years ago. Everyone should know that. That's how it should have been. That's right. The High God also saw it with his own eyes."

Ah Xun, what's wrong? You're acting so strangely.

Who's being strange? Their tone of voice is so weird, like they're reading from a textbook. Who talks like that?

Wen Li didn't know why, but when she woke up, the whole world seemed unfamiliar.

This unfamiliarity made her uneasy.

"I...I have something to do, I have to go now..."

After saying that, Wen Li ran away.

She didn't notice that after she ran away, the few girls and boys left behind seemed to have lost consciousness, standing there and starting to laugh foolishly.

The laughter was exactly the same as that of someone suffering from rabbit disease.

She went to the Wen family's old residence by herself. On the way, she became more and more confused and couldn't figure it out. She also discovered that spiritual energy in the world was now extremely scarce.

She tried to fly on her sword but found that she couldn't sense much spiritual energy.

"Child, are you completely confused right now, and can't figure it out no matter how hard you try?"

"nonsense!"

Wen Li suddenly stopped in her tracks after replying, "Who!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's me, Xi Yu, I'm here."

Xi Yu?

Wen Li took out the nine-character jade pendant from her bosom, blinked, and entered the space.

"I've finally waited for you."

Wen Li stared cautiously at the Soul-Locking Bead in front of her.

"Don't be nervous, child. I'm a good person now, and I'm here to answer your questions."

Wen Li picked up the Soul-Locking Bead and examined it closely. "Weren't you dead?"

"It's all because I was waiting for you. Otherwise, I would have been reincarnated long ago!"

"I've stayed until now to answer your questions."

Wen Li: "So tell me, what's the situation now?"
