Chapter 480: Imagining Someone Loves Me

This isn’t over yet.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord understood from what Yin Qingcheng just said that the True Spirit had perished. The Dao was shattered.

He actually already realized what forbidden technique he used to save Yin Qingcheng.

“You’re currently cultivating the Forgetful Emotion Dao?” the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord asked.

Yin Qingcheng nodded.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord couldn’t help but laugh.

First, it was a normal laugh, then it turned into a helpless chuckle, followed by a sorrowful, pitiful sound.

Yin Qingcheng was confused.

“Why are you laughing, Celestial Lord?”

“I laugh at that Nine Lives—what a pity!”

“Thinking someone loves him, yet he has ulterior motives, hahahaha, so pathetic, so tragic!”

Yin Qingcheng’s face instantly turned pale.

She didn’t want to hear what came next, so she directly fell to her knees, “Please, Celestial Lord, save the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace!”

“Do you know what the name of the forbidden technique I used is?” the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord said with a smile.

“I don’t want to know, please, Celestial Lord, save the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace! That’s the force that taught you cultivation!”

“Let me tell you, the name of the forbidden technique is True Knowledge Illusory Realm!”

“Celestial Lord!”

Yin Qingcheng’s voice was filled with pleading.

“Please save the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace!”

“The True Knowledge Illusory Realm possesses the special mental power I collected over countless years—this power is the purest force of the desire for knowledge; it’s incredibly profound.”

“It can probe the emotional needs deep within a person’s heart. Originally, I meant to use it to save my beloved, but she has reincarnated many times and completely lost any love for me.”

“And you, the Nine Lives, will surely believe that your love for him is very deep. Deep down in your heart, in the truest part of your soul, there must be love for him.”

“No! Don’t say anymore! Don’t say it!”

Yin Qingcheng suddenly broke down, disregarding who she was speaking to, desperately trying to prevent the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord from continuing.

But how could the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord listen to her?

“I will definitely tell him, that the practitioners of the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace all seem to be profoundly emotional, but whether they’re truly so, only she herself knows.”

“Because the process of profound emotion and forgetfulness is the same, only the result is different.”

“It’s possible that what you think is profound emotion is actually forgetfulness!”

“If that happens, can you bear the consequences?”

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord chuckled.

“Hahaha, a lovesick person will definitely believe you; he will say that he’s willing to bear all the consequences.”

“Considering your current situation, he indeed has borne them.”

At this point, Yin Qingcheng’s fig leaf was completely ripped away, so she didn’t care anymore.

“So it’s all my fault? I had already become that way. Was it wrong for me to desire to become stronger deep within my heart?” Yin Qingcheng shouted.

“Did I want profound emotion to turn into forgetfulness?”

“But it just changed; what was I supposed to do?”

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord fell silent for a moment.

A faint voice echoed.

“How did I not know that the True Knowledge Illusory Realm could change the Dao?”

Upon hearing that, Yin Qingcheng was stunned.

“You… what did you say?”

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord spoke again.

“I said, the True Knowledge Illusory Realm only draws out the deepest emotions; it has no ability to change the Dao.”

Yin Qingcheng’s eyes widened.

They got very wide.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord’s words struck her heart like a bolt from the blue.

What does that mean?

What does that imply?

Yin Qingcheng couldn’t even comprehend.

If it has no ability to change the Dao, then why did her Dao change from profound emotion to forgetfulness?

No such capability…

Whether forgetfulness or profound emotion, only the cultivator herself knows.

If the True Knowledge Illusory Realm lacks this ability, that means that from the very beginning, she was already forgetful.

It wasn’t because the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord saved her that she turned forgetful; she had always been forgetful.

“No!”

“That’s not right!”

“No, no, I may have lost my memories from that time, but I saw Lu Ye’s Three Lifetimes Tribulation, and in Lu Ye’s Three Lifetimes Tribulation, I clearly saw you telling Lu Ye that if I were saved by you, saying how profound emotion turning to forgetfulness, saying that not loving my husband would cause him immense pain, worse than death!”

“Isn’t it because I love him that I turned from profound emotion to forgetfulness?”

Upon hearing this, the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord couldn’t help but fall silent for a moment.

He was deep in thought.

Could such illogical words really come from him?

It shouldn’t!

First, his True Knowledge Illusory Realm couldn’t change the Dao.

Second, in his understanding, the most painful thing in the world was that the person he loved turned from profound emotion to forgetfulness; nothing could be more painful than that.

So those words should not have come from him.

Then why did they appear in Lu Ye’s weird Three Lifetimes Tribulation?

At that moment, the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord suddenly opened his eyes wide.

So that’s how it is!

He realized.

It’s not that he had said those words.

For things to turn out this way, there’s only one possibility.

“I get it!”

The words of the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord held some fluctuation at that moment.

“Get what?” Yin Qingcheng’s voice was filled with unease.

She didn’t know what the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord had realized, but she had a premonition that this matter was definitely not good for her.

“Lu Ye also entered the True Knowledge Illusory Realm!”

That statement was undoubtedly another massive thunderclap that struck hard at Yin Qingcheng’s mind.

Her lips trembled uncontrollably.

“What… what do you mean?” Yin Qingcheng’s voice carried fear.

“It must have been Lu Ye who accompanied you into the True Knowledge Illusory Realm. He saw with his own eyes your Forgetful Emotion Dao; he witnessed that your love for him was all with ulterior motives!”

“So Lu Ye can’t accept it; he can’t accept that his beloved would treat him this way!”

“In this state, Lu Ye definitely cannot accept reality, he wants to escape, but the True Knowledge Illusory Realm doesn’t allow him to escape.”

“Caught between this denial and the clear truth, he deceived himself.”

“He deceived himself into thinking someone loves him!”

“He constructed an illusory memory, in this memory, although you’ve turned forgetful, at least you love him.”

“At least he once had love.”

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord spewed out a lot in one breath.

In his heart, he felt quite emotional; compared to Lu Ye, he was grateful.

Lu Ye must be someone who lacked love. After meeting Yin Qingcheng, she fulfilled his yearning for love, yet beneath this love, there was deceit, blatant deceit.

From the beginning till the end, Lu Ye never received love!

Lu Ye, in such a situation, didn’t go crazy; that’s quite impressive!

Yin Qingcheng was now completely stunned.

No… that’s not true…

No… I love…

I am…
