"Everything has to be reborn... Kid, are you serious?" the World-Ending Spirit Fire murmured, deeply shocked and still unable to believe Ye Ling's words.
He knew that when the chosen one died and the main timeline was to be swallowed by the chaotic battlefield, good and evil would send the main timeline to the beginning of time, allowing it to restart and avoid being consumed by the chaotic battlefield...
But if the main timeline had to go through reincarnation, why would good and evil, and the Lord of the Upper Realm, also be sealed again?
If even good and evil, and the Lord of the Upper Realm, had to go through reincarnation, wouldn't that mean there were higher beings above such supreme existences as good and evil!
How could this be possible?
Although the World-Ending Spirit Fire wanted to refute Ye Ling, he was merely a being born in this reincarnation and had never truly witnessed the situation of time and space reincarnation, so he couldn't provide any strong arguments.
Seeing the shocked look on the World-Ending Spirit Fire's face, Ye Ling chuckled, "Since you don't believe me, why don't we go back and see for ourselves?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire pursed his lips and said, "Alright! Let's go back to the main timeline and see. I refuse to believe that good and evil are also in reincarnation like us!"
"But speaking of which, kid, do you know where this place is? How do we get back?"
Ye Ling replied, "I don't know where this place is, but I do know how to get back."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire was stunned, "Ah? What are you talking about, kid? You don't know where this place is, so how do we get back?"
"With this..."
Ye Ling smiled faintly, pricked his finger, and separated a drop of his vital blood.
Seeing Ye Ling suddenly separate his vital blood, the World-Ending Spirit Fire was even more bewildered and asked, "What are you doing by separating your vital blood? Could it be that your vital blood has a navigation function?"
"You've finally become smart for once! It's not easy," Ye Ling exclaimed, "That's right... my vital blood does have a navigation function."
As he spoke, Ye Ling poured his soul power into his vital blood.
After receiving Ye Ling's soul power, the drop of vital blood directly disappeared into the void and shot away.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire exclaimed in shock, "Kid! Your vital blood disappeared!"
"No need to be alarmed! My vital blood is just leading the way for us! Let's go, I've already found the direction."
With that, Ye Ling tore open space and fled into a certain direction in the darkness.
Outside the domain, in the forbidden area of the Residual Evil Clan.
A drop of vital blood pierced through the void and flew towards a sapphire palace floating in the void, entering it.
Not long after, Ye Ling also broke through the void and arrived above this palace.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire looked at the massive palace below, his confusion growing. He couldn't help but ask, "Kid, where is this place? Why do I sense the aura of a creation god from the palace?"
Ye Ling replied, "This is the forbidden area of the Residual Evil Clan outside the domain. Within that palace is sealed the sister of the Demon Emperor, the Creation God Child, You."
Just as Ye Ling was speaking, a little girl emerged from a hidden opening next to the palace, evading the heavy guards outside the palace and playing around its perimeter.
Seeing the little girl, the World-Ending Spirit Fire's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed, "Is that the sister of Good?"
As he spoke, the World-Ending Spirit Fire also sensed the existence of the cosmic barrier, and his shock intensified, "Damn it... there really is a cosmic barrier. How did you find this place, kid?"
Ye Ling replied, "Before the last reincarnation, I had already rescued You, and we even signed a contract of shared life, to live and die together."
"But for some reason, in this reincarnation, the contract between me and You has not been broken, and I can sense the connection between our souls."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire suddenly understood, "Oh! So that's why you used your vital blood for navigation, it was to find You with your vital blood!"
Ye Ling teased the World-Ending Spirit Fire, "It seems you're not completely hopeless. I don't need to explain it to you one by one."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire's face immediately darkened, and he said sternly, "Kid, you can't insult fire like this! If I had known you had signed a contract of shared life with You, how could I not have guessed that you would use your vital blood for navigation?"
Facing the World-Ending Spirit Fire's stubbornness, Ye Ling merely shook his head and smiled, not arguing further. He then turned his gaze to You, who was playing outside the palace, and said, "Let's go. Since we're back, let's rescue You... it's quite unfair to keep her locked up in this palace."
Seeing Ye Ling about to rescue You, the World-Ending Spirit Fire couldn't help but say, "Kid... didn't you say everything had to start over? If you go and rescue You now, won't that break this reincarnation? What if the Lord of the Upper Realm targets us again?"
Ye Ling looked at the World-Ending Spirit Fire as if he were an idiot and said speechlessly, "If we don't break this reincarnation, then what's the point of what we've done before? Besides, we're not the chosen ones now. Why would the Lord of the Upper Realm target someone who poses no threat to him?"
"Y-yes... haha, you're right, I was confused!" The World-Ending Spirit Fire chuckled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "Kid, don't just talk about me, rescue You first!"
While Ye Ling and the World-Ending Spirit Fire were talking, You, who was playing outside the palace, was caught by a maid who came out of the palace and was brought back inside.
The maid brought You back into the palace, locked the door again, and said earnestly, "Little princess, how many times have I reminded you not to run outside? It causes me trouble."
You clasped her hands together and pleaded with the maid, "My dear sister, please let me go out and play! There's no danger outside, and nothing will happen to me!"
The maid put on a stern face, "If I say no, then it's no! This time it's fortunate that I found you, but if the steward or the master finds out you've sneaked out of the palace again, you'll be in for it!"
"No, I have to block all the tunnels you've dug, so you don't run away again!"
Hearing the maid's words, You's expression changed slightly. She immediately hugged the maid's leg and cried, "Don't, sister! I dug those tunnels with great difficulty! Don't block them! I promise I won't run out again!"
The maid looked at You, who was hugging her, a flicker of impatience in her eyes. However, she dared not lay a hand on You, so she had to pull You off her, immobilize her with her spiritual power, and said sternly, "I don't believe your promise anymore! Be quiet! I'll send you back to your room after I've blocked all those tunnels!"
Saying that, the maid turned and opened the palace door, preparing to completely block the tunnels You had dug.
However, the moment the maid opened the door, she suddenly couldn't sense You's presence!
"What's going on?" The maid's expression changed slightly. She immediately turned around and looked, only to see that You, whom she had immobilized, was no longer in her original spot!
"Disappeared?"
Seeing You suddenly disappear, the maid's face showed panic. She seemed to have thought of something and quickly looked up at the door at the very top of the palace. She saw that the door sealing You's true form had been opened by someone!
The next moment, Ye Ling, holding You's hand and carrying an ice coffin in the other, walked out of the room, smiling at the maid below, and said, "We meet again."
