“What can I do?!”

Xu Liunian’s emotions had somewhat lost control. She remembered that in her decades in the “Land of Finality,” she seemed to have never cried, but this time was truly different.

She was preparing to bid farewell to this world.

But she knew she wasn’t returning in triumph, but rather completely defeated by the “Land of Finality,” finally fleeing this place in disgrace with her tail between her legs.

“Tell me what you know.” Qi Xia said softly. “Hand your ‘weapon’ over to me and let it become my ‘weapon.'”

Xu Liunian looked at Qi Xia with tear-reddened eyes. She understood better than anyone that her only weapon was “information.”

Qi Xia had already reached this point relying solely on guesswork. If he knew more, would he open up an entirely new path?

“Qi Xia, do you really think we still have hope?” Xu Liunian asked with a trembling voice. “Can we break through all this bizarre reincarnation and stand under the sunlight?”

Qi Xia didn’t answer, only asking in return, “Xu Liunian, having walked in the ‘Land of Finality’ for so many years, if you had to state one truth you’ve comprehended, what would it be?”

“I…” Xu Liunian extended her finger to lightly wipe away her tears, thought for a few seconds, then said, “Perhaps it’s ‘everyone deserves to die’…”

After hearing this, Qi Xia nodded and said, “Although that is also a law of the ‘Land of Finality,’ it’s not the ultimate truth I’ve comprehended.”

Xu Liunian slowly furrowed her brow, looking at Qi Xia with some hesitation. “Then according to you… what truth should we comprehend?”

“It’s ‘as long as we think of each other, we will meet.'” Qi Xia said.

“What…?” Xu Liunian asked herself if she had ever heard this phrase, yet this was actually the ultimate truth of the “Land of Finality” that Qi Xia had comprehended?

“This place is built upon ‘faith.’ Everyone’s ‘Echo’ is where their faith lies.” Qi Xia said to Xu Liunian with complete seriousness. “And under these rules, we absolutely cannot admit that we’ve already died.”

“What do you mean?” Xu Liunian asked.

“The literal meaning is correct.” Qi Xia nodded. “You asked me ‘whether we still have hope,’ so I can only tell you that as long as your faith is strong, then we are immortal here. But once you think you’ve died, then you’ve truly died. So what dies here is never our flesh, but our faith.”

Qi Xia’s words made Xu Liunian feel she had risen to an unprecedented level of thought.

“Qi Xia… when exactly did you think of this?”

“Just now.” Qi Xia sighed, looking at Xu Liunian again. “Everyone can only see the pain of reincarnating here, but they don’t see the hope this place grants us.”

“So you think… our ‘faith’ is our hope?”

“Isn’t it?” Qi Xia said. “Even you are the same, right…? You think, therefore you can become someone else’s appearance. When we leave the ‘Land of Finality’ and return to the real world, who can rely on ‘faith’ to gain power?”

Xu Liunian lowered her head somewhat silently, seemingly having understood the meaning in Qi Xia’s words.

“So don’t give up.” Qi Xia said. “Our path is still very long. We can be defeated by this place, but we cannot flee.”

Hearing the slight encouragement in Qi Xia’s words, Xu Liunian nodded heavily.

“So hand your power over to me.” Qi Xia said. “I will carry your power and fight until the last moment, then together with you become covered in wounds, our hearts and gall shattered, our souls scattered. Can you accept such an ending?”

Through her tears, Xu Liunian forced out a trace of a smile.

“I originally wanted to vanish into thin air in this cycle…” She kept forcing out smiles, but her eyes were like dead water. “I have no way back and no way forward…”

“But I don’t believe you come from hell.” Qi Xia said in a deep voice.

“What… you…”

Xu Liunian knew that this sentence from Qi Xia had severed all her hopes.

Now even “complete death” was nothing but a fool’s dream.

“I absolutely don’t believe you come from hell.” Qi Xia reiterated. “In my eyes, you’ve always been an ordinary ‘Participant.'”

“Qi Xia… in the end, you still threw me a blood-covered thorn.” Xu Liunian lowered her head, preventing Qi Xia from seeing her expression clearly.

“I’m already covered in thorns.” Qi Xia replied. “So can you hand it over to me now? Your ‘weapon.'”

The air around them instantly quieted.

Xu Liunian thought for a long time, finally nodding and slowly speaking, “Qi Xia… what I’m about to say might enrage the ‘upper levels.’ Before I speak, you must know the consequences.”

“Aren’t they angry enough already?” The corner of Qi Xia’s mouth curved up. “Begin.”

Xu Liunian restarted the car, reaching out to put it in gear. “In that case, I’ll join this desperate journey.”

She pressed the gas pedal to the floor. In just a few dozen meters, she had already shifted to fourth gear. The car shot forward on the dilapidated road.

As if fleeing from some invisible thing.

“Qi Xia, I’m not human at all. I come from the ‘Soul Management Bureau,’ responsible for escorting ghosts!”

As soon as the words fell, a man suddenly appeared dozens of meters ahead of the car.

The man had waist-length hair, wore a smile on his face, and had a trace of green marking between his brows. He was looking at Xu Liunian meaningfully.

And when Qi Xia saw this person, his eyes instantly widened. Although he had no memories, he still felt the man’s gaze made his blood run cold.

“Xu Liunian!” Qi Xia shouted in a low voice.

Xu Liunian didn’t stop. After sharply turning the steering wheel, she veered into the small path on the left. The tires rubbing against the ground created a tremendous sound.

She held her breath and continued speaking:

“Seventy years ago, I escorted fifty thousand souls to this place. This place is called ‘Peach Blossom Spring,’ established by a ‘god’ that normal people cannot come into contact with. The purpose was to ‘create Nuwa’!”

The car was racing forward, kicking up a shower of stones along the way, while Qinglong suddenly appeared at the end of the small path.

“But ‘Heavenly-Dragon’ betrayed the ‘god’!!!” After slamming on the brakes, Xu Liunian turned right again. Her entire body was trembling, as if fighting for her life against the entire world.

Qi Xia’s brain was also racing rapidly amid the car’s speeding. Every sentence from Xu Liunian exceeded his imagination. He simply couldn’t have predicted that gods truly existed in this world.

“‘Heavenly-Dragon’ never wanted to create a ‘Nuwa’ at all, because in his heart… he himself is the only candidate to become ‘Nuwa’!!”

Xu Liunian crashed through all obstacles along the way. The front of the car was already severely damaged, but she couldn’t stop for even a moment now.

As soon as Qinglong appeared in the distance, Xu Liunian immediately turned away again.

“As long as ‘Heavenly-Dragon’ can kill everyone here, what he’s done won’t be exposed! But your appearance shattered his plan. You made us immortal!! So even ‘Heavenly-Dragon’ became trapped here!!”

As soon as the words fell, Qinglong appeared again, this time standing directly in front of the taxi.

Without a word, Xu Liunian slammed on the brakes, then reached out to shift gears. Turning sideways to look back, she rapidly reversed the car.
