Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Ling Yun took a closer look.

The person who had originally transformed into the form of Mo Yu instantly turned into an old woman with tattered clothes and a face etched with the marks of time.

hiss……

Ling Yun looked at her and gasped.

"We seem to have met somewhere before?"

After a moment of silence, she said this.

The old lady looked at Ling Yun with some surprise.

"You...remembered me?"

Ling Yun shook his head and said:

"No, it's just that you seem familiar."

The old lady did not press the matter further upon hearing this.

She pointed to the path behind her and said to Ling Yun:

"When you shattered those eight mirrors, you successfully passed the Tribulation of Supreme Forgetfulness."

The reason I deliberately transformed into the form of the Heavenly Dao was to test how much of your memory you have recovered.

As things stand, it's far from enough for me to step in and help you.

Let's keep moving forward!

The answer you've always wanted is waiting for you just ahead!

Before he finished speaking, the ragged old woman turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared in front of Ling Yun.

at the same time.

All illusions on the path to rebirth vanished completely.

Mo Yu, Long Xiu, and Xuan Tian, ​​who were struggling in the illusion, reappeared in front of Ling Yun.

Ling Yun glanced at the three of them.

Among them, Long Xiu and Xuan Tian were the most disheveled.

Not only was his hair disheveled, but his entire body was also covered in wounds.

Fortunately, they were all minor external injuries and did not shake their fundamental health.

Compared to the two of them, Mo Yu was much more presentable.

He appeared very calm and composed, as if nothing had happened in the illusion.

However, Ling Yun saw it clearly.

Mo Yu was also injured, and it seemed that his Achilles tendon had been accidentally severed, making him unsteady on his feet.

Ling Yun asked:

"Mo Yu, what's wrong with you?"

They both understood each other's abilities.

Apart from the old man behind them, no one could harm any of them.

Therefore, Ling Yun subconsciously felt that Mo Yu had encountered that strange old man who was above her and the Heavenly Dao.

"Sis, don't even mention it, I got beaten up."

"Who hit you?"

Lingyun wanted to confirm his guess.

Mo Yu replied:

"Sister, I didn't see the man's face clearly. I only saw that he was very dark-skinned, wearing a black and purple dragon robe and a crown on his head."

As soon as I entered the illusion, he transformed into a beautiful woman who had been working in a foot massage parlor for many years, and insisted on washing my feet.

She also said she has a sick mother, a gambling father, a younger brother who is still in school, and a useless man.

You tell me, when faced with such a pitiful person, how could I, your brother, not order 798 to support her business?

As a result, he had just taken off my socks when he stabbed me in the back, severing my Achilles tendon.

Then he revealed his true form, and just as he was about to say something to me, I was pulled out of the illusion.

Ling Yun nodded.

Then he looked at Long Xiu and Xuan Tian and said:

What did you two see?

Ling Yun wanted to see if he could awaken some of their memories through their descriptions.

Long Xiu spoke first:

“Master, I encountered a three-legged golden crow in the illusion. It was too strong, and I was no match for it at all. Just when I was about to be killed by it, I was suddenly taken out of the illusion.”

Xuan Tian added at the end:

“Ancestor, my situation is similar to that of Long Xiu, except that I encountered a jade rabbit.”

Its powerful pressure made it hard for me to breathe, and then it used an ice spell to try to freeze me.

For some reason, the ice had spread to my eyebrows, but the illusion suddenly vanished.

After listening to their descriptions, Ling Yun didn't recall anything.

Instead, Mo Yu, standing to the side, excitedly reminded her:

"Sister, this is a Yin-Yang Tribulation. The only people who can control both Yin and Yang power at the same time are those few old guys."

I cannot determine exactly who it is.

Tell me quickly what you experienced in the illusion, so I can have more information to make a judgment.

I have a deep-seated feeling that the person hiding in this land of death is very likely an old acquaintance of ours.

immediately.

Lingyun told Moyu everything that had happened to her in the illusion.

Mo Yu was somewhat surprised when he heard about the ragged old woman.

"Sis, I think I know who that ragged old lady is!"

Ling Yun glared at him and said:

"If you know, just say so. Don't keep me in suspense."

Mo Yu replied:

"Sister, if I'm not mistaken, that ragged old lady is your best friend, the Earth Goddess who guards the path to the afterlife."

Ling Yun found it hard to believe.

"Who?"

"Empress Houtu?"

"Still my best friend?"

The three questions in a row showed that Ling Yun really didn't remember.

Mo Yu affirmed:

"That's right! Sister, you are the ancestor of mankind, and Houtu Niangniang is also known as the Mother of the Earth. You two were best friends back then."

"If it weren't for the enmity between the human and divine realms that led to a great war between the two races and triggered a cataclysmic disaster, you two wouldn't have ended up serving different masters and becoming complete strangers."

Ling Yun was taken aback.

What exactly happened in the war between humans and gods, and the cataclysmic destruction of heaven and earth?

Mo Yu explained:

"Sister, please forgive me for not being able to tell you the specifics."

Back then, the great leaders of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity signed a six-party agreement regarding the war between humans and gods. No one is allowed to mention this matter to the world again, or they will suffer the backlash of the laws of Heaven and Earth.

Ling Yun said indifferently:

"Then I, Ancestor, will find the answer myself."

Say it.

Lingyun then headed towards the end of the path to rebirth.

Mo Yu suddenly spoke up to stop her:

"Sister, do you really believe what the Goddess Houtu said, that the answer you're looking for is waiting for you ahead? Haven't you ever considered that your former best friend has now become your enemy's best friend?"

Ling Yun said domineeringly:

"I am the ancestor of mankind, who am I afraid of? If you are worried, just follow behind me."

Mo Yu stopped arguing and led Long Xiu and Xuan Tian to follow in her footsteps.

really.

Lingyun left the Path of Rebirth not long after he left.

What appeared before her next was an ancient god's mausoleum.

At the entrance of the cemetery stand twelve statues of ancient gods.

As Ling Yun looked around, he felt a mysterious and ancient aura emanating from him.

This feeling was both familiar and strange to her.

Ling Yun pressed further, saying:

"Mo Yu, do you recognize who each of these twelve ancient god statues represents?"

Mo Yu carefully examined it.

He shook his head helplessly.

"Sister, most of these statues are damaged and illegible because they've been there for so long. But seeing this cemetery makes me even more certain of my earlier guess: the old woman you met in the illusion must be Houtu Niangniang!"

Seeing Mo Yu's certainty, Ling Yun asked him in return:

"What's the reason?"

Mo Yu deliberately adopted a mysterious and inscrutable demeanor, and replied to Ling Yun:

"The reason is simple, because..."

He suddenly stopped talking at this point.
