Rewrite My Fate to Become the Daoist Ancestor

["Old classmate, long time no see."]

[Xiao Ying quietly watched Moli.]

["How do you feel?"]

["Your Majesty, I... feel like I’ve been asleep for a very long time." Moli slowly stood up, gently brushing the loose hair from her forehead with her fingers, her eyes somewhat dazed.]

[Her pupils suddenly contracted; she remembered.]

[She saw flesh and blood shattered, intense pain tearing through her every nerve. Her breath became rapid, her chest heaving violently, once again experiencing that near-death suffocation.]

["I died."]

[Her fingers unconsciously touched her chest, where she was once pierced through, now completely healed.]

[Demon Blade Messenger Moli felt the subtle coolness brushing against her skin, her lips slightly raised, revealing a trace of an obsessed smile, her eyes sparkling with long-lost light.]

["It feels great to be alive, thank you."]

[Her gaze fell on Xiao Ying, her eyes tinged with gratitude yet mixed with complex emotions.]

["No need to thank me."]

["Back then, I was too naïve, killing Black Teeth with a single slash. The pirate hiding on that transport starship felt despair and, in revenge, led us to our doom while the captain was asleep." Xiao Ying explained.]

["In the end, if you had stayed on the Mother Star, you wouldn’t have died, sorry."]

["It’s okay." Moli smiled, "You’ve given me another life, I’m willing to fight for you to the end of my life."]

[Xiao Ying looked at the smiling Moli in front of him, silent for a moment: "You’ve changed a lot."]

["You too." Moli said, suddenly reaching out to touch Xiao Ying’s face, wanting to hold onto this feeling of reality tightly.]

[From the moment Xiao Ying decided to take her away, a ripple rose in her heart. But what truly moved her were those days spent on the starship. Yet she knew she was merely a Genetic Modifier, with a humble status, capable only of burying this sentiment deep within, quietly watching Xiao Ying’s back.]

[She had died once, and finally understood a truth—life is too short not to seize the moment!]

["Old classmate, come with me." Xiao Ying paused slightly, then turned around, "I’ll teach you how to fight."]

["Sorry, Your Majesty, I meant no offense." Moli watched Xiao Ying’s gradually receding figure, murmuring softly, her tone harboring a hint of undisguisable disappointment.]

...

[Three years passed swiftly.]

[Xiao Ying imparted all he had learned throughout his life to Demon Blade Messenger Moli. With single-minded focus, Moli devoted herself to cultivation. Her body, sourced from the essence of the Black Soil Layer, had long transcended the limits of a Mortal, approaching the level of a Radiant Life Form.]

[Over these three years, it felt to Moli as though she had returned to those days spent with Xiao Ying on the starship. She cherished these years greatly, engaged in tireless cultivation day and night, and ultimately cultivated "Nine Heavens Thunder Blade" to the Great Achievement Realm. Not only that, she combined the "Phoenix" martial arts insights gained from Xiao Ying over the years to create the original "Blood Lotus Demon Blade."]

[This martial art perfectly unleashed the combat power of a "Demon Blade Messenger," allowing her to withstand over a hundred moves under Xiao Ying’s normal state without being defeated.]

[Xiao Ying witnessed Moli’s growth and nodded slightly, softly praising: "Not bad, your progress far exceeds my expectations."]

["Thanks for the compliment." Moli’s face immediately blossomed with a radiant smile.]

[Xiao Ying exterminated all mutant beasts and True Demons from the Black Soil Layer, comprehending the "Power of Destruction" that had also reached its limit in strength growth, and he took Demon Blade Messenger Moli to other "Abyssal Dimensions."]

[By tracing the aura of the "Bone-Eroding Demon Venerable," he located the—White Bone Layer.]

[Opened the passage.]

[Their steps had just entered the White Bone Layer when the surrounding air suddenly became chillingly cold. Underfoot, the ground was no longer solid earth but made up of countless shattered bones, crunching underfoot with a "crackling" sound.]

[Before them stretched an endless ocean of white bones, countless skulls piled up like mountains, with hollow eye sockets burning with faint blue flames.]

[Ahead.]

[A skeleton clad in broken battle armor wielding a rusty long blade suddenly slashed at another skeleton, making a piercing splinter sound as the blade cleaved through the bones. The armored skeleton lowered its head, greedily absorbing the blue flames that drifted out from the other’s skull, the flames spreading along its bones, instilling it with new power.]

[The armored skeleton suddenly raised its head, drawing a blade while charging toward Xiao Ying and Moli.]

["No wisdom... what a pity."]

[Demon Blade Messenger Moli raised her hand, slicing through the armored skeleton, her Blood Lotus Demon Blade absorbing the faint flames, giving her a comfortable sensation.]

["...So you are the human who killed that Demon Fall fellow? Young lord, you have crossed the line."]

[Suddenly, the white bone ocean began to surge violently, countless skulls drawn together by some force, rapidly consolidating into an enormous skull. Its eye sockets burned with two massive spectral blue flames, its jaw slowly opening.]

[The atmosphere turned deathly still, as it stared silently at Xiao Ying, a sinking feeling washing over it, "We have no reason to slaughter."]

["Reason?"]

[Xiao Ying slightly tilted his head, as if he heard something utterly absurd, "Hahaha, so killing you requires a reason? Alright, you stand too high, that offends my taboo."]

["Damn it."]

["You deceive too much! Do you think I’m afraid of you!! Do you think I’m like that Demon Fall waste?" the skull angrily shouted, "The entire White Bone Layer is my body!!!"]

["Shut up!"]

[Xiao Ying’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, a trace of impatience flashing in his eyes.]

[His body suddenly sank, and beneath his feet, the white bone ground instantly shattered, cracks spreading like a web. A surge of blood-colored qi rose around him like burning flames, enveloping him.]
