“I can’t eat this thing, what’s the point of keeping it!”
Little Li had a blank expression as he decided to take the reward. Afterwards, he tucked the Dragon Phoenix Primordial Spirit Pill into the safest and most visible spot in the system space, ensuring he could find it at a moment’s notice.
Well, even if he didn’t know when he could use it, this was still a divine pill!
Little Brother Bao still had to fill all nine orifices to become a divine pill himself. After all, a divine pill has some value in research.
Maybe Little Li could figure out some… Dao of the Nascent Soul from it?
The system, being devoid of emotions, couldn’t comprehend what its host was thinking. After a round of calculation, it concluded that this reward was somewhat out of sync:
[In light of the host’s considerable investment this time, the system calculates and will, at its discretion, grant the host an additional benefit.]
“Golden Dragon, Jade Phoenix sounds tough on the ears…”
Li Mo was mumbling when he suddenly froze at the system’s next words:
“What benefit?”
[The remaining reward can be exchanged for two opportunities to freely choose from the system’s rewards list.]
“Freely choose… what’s on the list?”
Li Mo relaxed a bit, finally not worrying about it actually being a useless reward.
The system displayed the rewards list, and Li Mo found it to be extremely complex, full of martial arts, pills, weapons, secret treasures… and all sorts of odd gadgets. Just the martial arts section was overwhelming!
[True Martial Seven-Section Sword…]
[Three-Point Returning Essence Technique…]
[Yan Shuangying’s Spear Fighting Arts…]
Look at this mess, anyone who sees it would be confused!
Li Mo simply asked the system to simplify the categories, filtering out all the less valuable options.
With a burst of light, the list became much clearer, akin to a marketplace.
“Now I haven’t recovered yet, let me see if there are any divine items for healing.”
Li Mo checked the pill section.
[Nine-Transition Revival Pill]
[Worldly Fireworks Pill]
[Source Spirit Pill]
…
“These can really help me recover back to normal, even better than before, but…”
After picking for a long while, he suddenly discovered something:
“System, can the feedback rewards be directly placed in my mouth?”
[Host, that is not possible.]
Li Mo: “…”
Then I’ll just pick a hammer!
“I need the power of living beings to repair my inner world, but the system doesn’t seem to have such a reward. Even taking those heavenly defying pills wouldn’t heal me to a rebirth.”
“Little Ice Chunk is around; I’ll just take my time…”
He consoled himself in his heart.
As the system’s writing faded, Li Mo suddenly felt the moonlight in front of him starting to shift, a sensation from deep within his true spirit, like a nothingness without reliance.
But the place he drifted off to was not aimless.
It was a familiar dreamlike feeling.
Probably because the two of them were connected by the Taiyin, he often visited Ying Bing’s dreams before.
But now, the Taiyin thread, through Ying Huang’s hand, had been restored for Ice Chunk.
No… this didn’t seem like a dream…
It seemed to be sedimentation of some fragments from the past, belonging to bygone days. As the two Taiyins intersected, there was a sensation of time merging, a twisted overlap of space and time.
These memories might even be unclear to Ying Bing herself.
A warm reminder: the upper right corner of the page has features like “Switch between Simplified and Traditional,” “Adjust Font Size,” “Reading Background Color,” etc.
When she became the Phoenix Sky Empress, she unknowingly swept away Ying Huang in the world, and these memories were swept away who knows where.
“What if it’s a girl later? Will she be like Little Ice Chunk?”
Li Mo flashed a silly grin.
In the flickering light was the Little Ice Chunk who had just arrived at Li Mansion. She stood bewilderingly on the street, her little face not fully formed yet, but she already seemed to hint at future world-shaking talent.
At that moment, she looked like a startled little deer, remembering only where her home was, but feeling as if she had no home at all.
Ice Chunk had always been directionally challenged.
The world suddenly felt vast, with rain pouring down, and fewer and fewer people on the streets.
She wandered aimlessly for a long time; the scenery grew more and more unfamiliar. She had hardly ever been out of the house…
“I finally found you! Let’s go home!”
Suddenly, her little hand was grabbed by someone else. She looked back in confusion and saw a chubby little boy with a tiger-like face, one hand holding hers and the other carrying a fish basket.
“I told you to go fish in the river! And you dragged Little Ice Girl along!”
“Do you know how much trouble this caused everyone?”
“Hubby, it’s just trouble for people.”
That night when they returned home, Little Li received a spanking from Old Li, screams of misery echoing throughout.
Little Ice Chunk wanted to say it was her who ran out, and it had nothing to do with Li Mo, but saw Little Li Mo sprawled on the bench, moaning and groaning, while sneaking her a smile.
“Did this actually happen when we were kids?” Li Mo chuckled to himself.
He could still remember this!
As it went on, the scenes grew increasingly strange.
Due to his frail health, he nearly got kicked out during the initiation ceremony, while Ying Bing, just like before, stunned everyone with her first cry as the fledgling phoenix.
His youthful pride kept him from wanting to meet Ying Bing again. Amidst the chatter of others, he recognized the gap between them, unable to act normally around her.
He deliberately distanced himself, causing the two to drift further apart.
Until later, he died during the sect trial.
“Huh? Where did this come from?”
Li Mo leaned back, stunned for a long time.
These were all events that never happened!
But everything also seemed so real…
“In this memory of Ice Chunk, I haven’t awakened from the fetal mystery.”
“So what this means is… this is a future without me…”
The Taiyin Divine Form contained the great mystery of time, something Li Mo already knew.
Was this really the future predicted by the Taiyin Divine Form, or… events that once occurred?
Through the light and shadows, he tried to reach out to wipe away her fallen crystal tears, but only touched empty air.
The light and shadows didn’t wait for him, flowing like time slipping quickly away.
Around her were no familiar faces, only piles of bones behind her, bl**d flowing in rivers… it was as if she had become the Queen of the Gui Palace, standing at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Some called her Empress, while others dubbed her a Witch.
What came after might be even more complicated.
Ever since the remnants of Da Yu and Da Shang clashed near the Gui Palace, disrupting its tranquility, after she cut them down with a sword and swallowed them into the abyss, the name Ying Bing had become a taboo.
“Gui Palace…” Li Mo leaned back slightly, murmuring to himself.
No more Little Ice Chunk from Little Li, has she become Black Ice Chunk instead?
He always claimed he saved the world in his past life, and now it seems… he wasn’t just making a joke?
Well, at least in the Heavenly Phoenix Domain, he really did rescue it once.
As if the burden of saving the world was once again upon his shoulders!
“If I kicked the bucket, I can’t even imagine what kind of demon Ice Chunk would become…”
