Liu Qingqing’s expression was desolate,

"I also hope such a thing could happen, but... the Hall Master died due to the Destiny Dao."

"Destiny Dao?"

Liu Qingqing said,

"Three hundred years ago, the Hall Master tried to reshape the Path to Immortality, you should know about that, right?"

"Yes. At that time, no one thought she could succeed, and indeed, she failed."

Liu Qingqing nodded and said,

"Yes, she failed. By attempting to reshape the Path to Immortality, she directly confronted the Heavenly Dao, hoping to take back what the world had once lost. But she realized that she was not qualified to represent the world. Even if the Heavenly Dao didn’t stop her, she couldn’t reclaim what was lost. So, she failed. And the punishment from the Heavenly Dao followed."

"Punishment from the Heavenly Dao? But after that, there was no catastrophe in the world."

Liu Qingqing lowered her head slightly and said,

"Because the Hall Master bore it alone. With a power she referred to as ’Destiny Divine Techniques,’ she transferred the punishment the people would face onto herself. It was because of this ability that she dared to confront the Heavenly Dao against the world’s opinion. And she indeed succeeded... For the next three hundred years, she endured constant, knife-edge fiery pain. She called this pain the curse of the Heavenly Dao."

"Destiny Divine Techniques..."

Liu Qingqing said,

"I don’t know exactly what kind of divine technique it is. Perhaps divine techniques can’t be truly described. But she also told me that her acquaintance with Fan Wubing was founded on this ability. To her, it was a ’fateful entanglement.’"

"So, did she feel Fan Wubing was the most suitable choice?"

"Yes. From the moment she saw Fan Wubing, she considered this possibility. In theory, everything was within the Hall Master’s control. Until one day, she suddenly discovered that Fan Wubing wasn’t a simple puppet, but an incredibly lively existence. To her, this was like a gray world suddenly becoming vibrant and colorful. Thus, she chose to entrust everything to Fan Wubing, creating the best stage for him."

Liu Qingqing lifted her head,

"I believe Fan Wubing indeed gave the best performance on this best stage."

"But she couldn’t see it." Jiang Xuan’s expression was immensely forlorn.

"She regarded this journey as a path for atonement. The world saw her as the Slaughter Demon Lord, so naturally she was considered bloodthirsty and cruel. However, only those around her would know her gentleness."

This point, Jiang Xuan understood well.

From a young age, he always thought his sister was a very gentle person. Even after ten thousand years, this idea never changed. Back then, his sister left Shangjing without a word, facing criticism from everyone. When she declared herself a demon, the abuse was overwhelming. Yet he chose to believe.

He would never believe his sister would fall into the Demon Dao.

He asked heavily,

"You said she was killed by the Destiny Dao, why?"

Liu Qingqing replied,

"The Nine Great Demon Dao are unified with the Demon Lord. Only when the Demon Lord dies do the Demon Dao return to being unowned. Fan Wubing aimed to gather the Nine Great Demon Dao, to realize the Celestial Demon’s will, necessitating the death of every Demon Lord. But the Hall Master knew if Fan Wubing found out the truth, he would never agree. Therefore, she chose to deceive.

"She first killed Anger Demon Lord An An and Nether Demon Lord Lv Liang, taking their Demon Dao. But An An and Lv Liang didn’t truly die; like how the Hall Master transferred the Heavenly Dao’s punishment for the people onto herself, she transferred their fate of death onto herself.

"But the Destiny Dao is different from the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao cannot determine everyone’s fate, while the Destiny Dao can.

"The Hall Master bore the fate of death for both, and also bore the cost of altering that fate. Thus, what ultimately killed her was not the Death Dao, but the Destiny Dao."

Jiang Xuan stumbled back two steps.

As the master of the Circulation Dao, he knew that being killed by the Destiny Dao equates to complete death.

In this world, all traces of Jiang Sha will gradually disappear. Everyone will forget her, she will vanish completely from everyone’s destiny.

It’s not death that’s terrifying, but complete oblivion.

Jiang Xuan stared blankly at the letter in his hand. Perhaps in some time, he would forget who wrote this letter. And then, some time later, he would no longer have a sister named "Jiang Ran."

This world will, under the correction of the Destiny Dao, become a world where "Jiang Ran never existed."

Jiang Xuan asked with empty eyes,

"How long can we still remember her?"

Tears of sorrow welled uncontrollably in Liu Qingqing’s eyes.

She had asked Jiang Sha the same question. Jiang Sha’s response was,

"Seven days. This is the favor granted by destiny."

Favor... This word pierced Jiang Xuan’s heart like a needle.

Jiang Xuan said painfully,

"So if Fan Wubing doesn’t return within seven days, doesn’t even know she’s gone, he’ll completely forget her?"

"Yes."

"What must be done to remember her?" Jiang Xuan lost his noble image, becoming like a fragile lamb.

Liu Qingqing asked,

"Can you comprehend destiny? Can you escape the prison of fate?"

She was asking Jiang Xuan and also asking herself.

The two fell into a deathly silence.

A little while later, Jiang Xuan’s figure once again grew noble,

"If she can only exist for seven days, then let the whole world remember her during these seven days."

Then,

He hurriedly found Guan Xin and told her about this matter.
