Xu Tianran's mind was a chaotic battlefield, thoughts crashing into each other like tidal waves. He stared at her gentle smile. He couldn't help but feel slightly suspicious — how could someone be so beautiful? Could this be an illusion? But then, if someone was truly capable of fooling him to this extent, bypassing even the system itself, such a powerhouse wouldn't be mentally retarded enough to waste time playing tricks like this.
Or perhaps they wanted to use her to make him their pawn — and she herself didn't even know it.
Xu Tianran activated his Brainstorming Function, and two answers popped up:
First, Qianxin Wuxin's mental status is 100% true.
Second, I am not trapped in any illusion.
He didn't know if he could fully trust the system itself — but what could he do with his current weak power? In the end, he simply let go of all unnecessary thoughts and chose to go with the flow.
Before he could voice his doubts, he heard a gentle voice — so gentle that it could soothe any pain in the heart. But Xu Tianran, with his strong will, would not be swayed by a mere voice.
Qianxin Wuxin smiled softly and said, "You should be able to see through who I am using your system, right?"
Upon hearing these words, Xu Tianran felt a trace of fear rise in his heart — but he quickly calmed down.
He didn't reply, only staring at her silently, as if asking, how do you know?
She didn't explain, only returning his gaze with the same gentle smile. After all, teasing him like this — it was something she had always loved to do, in every life.
She also had her own purpose for coming here. Seeing his serious gaze, she spoke softly, "You don't have to worry about me scheming against you, harming you, or even being someone's pawn without my own knowledge."
Hearing this, Xu Tianran was shocked — could she read his mind?
She continued, "I understand your cautious paranoia in this life — it's completely different from your past lives. Once, you were a brave cultivator who saved me and fell in love with me. Another time, you were a cruel demon cultivator who refined me into a soul flag by devouring my soul. In one life, you were my senior brother who secretly loved me in our sect. In another, you were a mortal, and I was your wife — we even had countless children together. There was even a life where I was your master, and you were my disciple."
"In some lifetimes, I stayed by your side, watching you grow, sharing your joys, and feeling happy whenever you were happy. In others, I remained in the shadows, never revealing myself, silently protecting you from enemies whenever I could."
"In every life, through every identity and emotion, I never once attacked or betrayed you — even when you devoured my soul."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran sneered in his heart. How could I believe this? She could easily lie to me.
But before the thought could settle, Qianxin Wuxin saw through it and smiled gently. "No, I can't lie to you — because that's the very nature of the Eternal Dao of Love."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran's heart alarmed — she can really read my mind?! How is this possible?
Before he could voice his doubts, Qianxin Wuxin continued, "Yes, I can hear your thoughts. I am the Sovereign of the Eternal Dao of Love, a dao that binds me to you across all lifetimes. Our souls have been interlinked from the very beginning — that's why I can hear your thoughts."
"But that's not important," Qianxin Wuxin said softly. "I'm here because I need to tell you this — in this life, I can see you are trying to become powerful enough to break free from all chains, to live eternally without anyone being able to threaten you. I don't want to become an obstacle in your path, so I'll always quietly watch over you from the side. Do you want anything from me?"
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Xu Tianran's first thought was simple — If you really want to give me something, just give me some Origin Law Stones. But in reality, he only said, "I don't want anything."
Yet before he could say more, Qianxin Wuxin smiled faintly, tossed him a spiritual ring, and then her body scattered into countless butterflies, vanishing completely.
Xu Tianran's mouth twitched. Was that level of show-off really necessary just to disappear? My clones have disappeared countless times, and I've never done anything so flashy.
But before his thoughts could wander further, he quickly calmed down and checked the spiritual ring. What he saw inside left him completely stunned — the storage space was vast beyond imagination, holding entire mountain peaks made entirely of Origin Law Stones of all types, piled into massive heaps. The sheer amount was enough to nurture an entire generation of powerhouses in the Immortal Dao World itself.
Meanwhile, in an immortal cave near the center region of the sect, Qianxin Wuxin sat quietly with her eyes closed — yet a gentle smile lingered on her lips.

Xu Tianran wanted to believe it all — the love across lifetimes, the eternal bond — and deep down, a part of him wished for such a love life. But right now, he couldn't afford to get entangled any further. He already had enough problems: Tian Mozi, Gu Xuanyin, the Universe Will, and countless unknown dangers waiting ahead.
If I really want to enjoy something like love, I first need to become invincible. Only after seeing through all truths will I decide whether this is real or not.
For now, it was time to focus on cultivation.
Yet, despite his usual wariness, Xu Tianran felt a strange sense of calm — a kind of peace he had never experienced before. It was as if a hidden fear, the fear of being truly alone forever, had quietly faded. So, someone like her exists for me after all. Someone strong enough that I won't need to constantly risk my life to protect her.
But still… cultivation comes first. Once I become powerful enough, all truths will naturally reveal themselves.
With this sheer amount of Origin Law Stones in his hands, Xu Tianran no longer needed to send his clone, Ji Yunxi, to the Myriad Dao Ascension Tower for further farming.
Without wasting any time, he directly entered seclusion, aiming to break through from the Peak Golden Immortal Realm to the long-coveted Heavenly Immortal Realm — a realm he had desperately pursued in his past life.
To step into the Heavenly Immortal Realm, a cultivator must merge two or more laws into a unified concept, forming the foundation for all future cultivation breakthroughs, and a cultivator's true power varies greatly depending on the concept they form — a concept that itself depends entirely on which laws they choose to merge.
Xu Tianran commanded his system, "Show my comprehended laws."
A translucent panel appeared before his eyes, listing them clearly:
Laws Comprehended:
Technology: 100%
Chaos: 100%
Thunder: 100%
Space: 100%
Time: 100%
Reincarnation: 100%
Karma: 100%
Life: 100%
Death: 100%
Devour: 100%
Conceal: 100%
Clone: 100%
Morphing: 100%
Escape: 100%
Five Elements: 100%
(Fire + Water + Metal + Earth + Wood)
Xu Tianran activated his system's Brainstorming Function, asking it to simulate and suggest the most optimal concepts he could form by merging his comprehended laws.
Two results instantly popped up on the translucent system screen before him:
