"Tell me, don't lie to me. Luo Luo, I'm not stupid. Ever since I came to this world, I've always felt that some things were off.
Let's not even mention the fact that there are two Gu Shans. One is from the future, he's a person who says he married me and I'm pregnant with his child.
The other Gu Shan says he's a demon and can't have contact with me. Moreover, in the visions, my encounters with Murong Hai, Ruo Qiu, and Ye Yi are different from what's happening now.
And just now, that red-clothed man said he was the only system I had after crossing over, that there couldn't be two systems. So where did this second system in me come from?
All these inconsistencies make me feel like I'm caught in some huge deception. Luo Luo, tell me, what's really going on here?"
Faced with Lin Zaozao's questioning, Xi Luo let out a small sigh and dejectedly rested her head on Lin Zaozao's chest.
"Sister, the world we're in right now is indeed an illusion created by me, Han Ye, and the others.
This place is your previous life.
And everything that system showed you was indeed what truly happened in your previous life.
Because you suffered too much in your previous life, we didn't want you to fully remember everything that happened.
Han Ye and I only wanted you to remember the abilities you gained in your previous life. Sister, only with the abilities you gained from sacrificing your body in your previous life can you deal with that cursed demoniac.
But Sister, the process of your sacrifice in your previous life was too painful and too cruel. So we could only desperately alter your memories of your previous life. The purpose was simply to prevent you from remembering everything."
Xi Luo nuzzled her head deeper into Lin Zaozao's embrace and continued.
"Sister, the world you lived in during your previous life was actually a separate realm secretly created by that cursed demoniac behind the back of the Way of Heaven.
He wanted to force you to sacrifice yourself so he could steal your fate, allowing him to escape his identity as a demoniac.
But that demoniac forgot that I too am a child of fate in this world. He originally planned to force you to death, then scheme to have me die as well.
But he forgot that my curse magic was something he simply couldn't counter.
Sister, after you died and I learned the true cause of your death, I placed a curse on that demoniac.
I cursed him so that until he obtained the fate from my body, he would be trapped in this world, locked in an endless struggle with me, life after life.
To avenge you, I fought with that demoniac in this world for lifetime after lifetime.
That demoniac consumed my curse power, while I consumed the fate he borrowed from the Way of Heaven and the demonic energy in his body.
Sister, lifetime after lifetime, that demoniac and I tormented each other, restricting each other.
So you divided your sacrificial ability between Han Ye and Han Xibei, allowing them to use your sacrificial power to protect their country and friends well.
Han Ye and Han Xibei, who received your sacrificial ability, spent the rest of their lives in pain.
Even Ruo Qiu, Ye Yi, and the others had been living in constant pain. They even considered sacrificing their own lives to the Moonlight Flower Tree to resurrect you.
Sister, they are all people bound by fate in this world. Because of your death, the fate surrounding them has also changed.
If they continue to despair, this world will collapse along with them. With no other choice, I used my power of curses, the Wizard's blessing, and with the help of Ye Xi and Ye Nuo, forcibly brought us to your next life.
Forcibly changing fate will surely come at a price.
In the next life, although Han Ye and Han Xibei possess memories of two lifetimes, they cannot interfere too much in matters between you and the two souls from another world, nor can they tell anyone about your previous life.
As for Ruo Qiu, Ji Fantian, Chun Jun, Gu Shan, and Murong Hai, they not only lost all their memories in the next life but must also be punished for forcibly crossing time and space.
That punishment is that in their next life, despite being children of fate, they will be plagued by misfortune. The only way to save them is for you to be with them.
This is also the curse that Ruo Qiu, Murong Hai, and the others placed upon themselves before crossing over. If they can successfully be with you, marry you as your husbands, then the misfortune on them will be lifted.
If they cannot be with you in the next life, they will die in despair.
Elder sister, I've told you everything about the previous life. Sister, now that your memories have returned, I wonder if your sacrificial abilities have been restored as well?
But sister, my time is up, I have to go. Once I'm gone, that damned demoniac will be finished too.
Sister, I love you. And please, don't forget me..."
As Xi Luo's words faded, his body transformed into a swirl of light in Lin Zaozao's arms, enveloping her.
Within that luminescence, Lin Zaozao slowly closed her eyes. At this moment, surrounded by the light, she gradually recalled everything about herself.
Memories of her previous life echoed in her mind like fragments, one after another.
After all the memory fragments had played through Lin Zaozao's mind, she slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, her body began to grow like sprouting branches and leaves.
Until finally, her body returned to its adult form.
Lin Zaozao looked at her arms, now empty.
Her Luo Luo, in order for her to regain her memories, had already disappeared.
