"Enough!"

Mingmei had already prepared herself to be eliminated early. In that instant, she didn't even have time to take out the defensive treasures her parents had given her. She only wanted to use her body, still protected by Hongxiao, to help Mei Jiu survive.

The sound of bodies falling echoed in her ears, but Mingmei felt no pain. Just as she was wondering if the prayer beads were too fast and she had already been "penetrated," she heard that familiar voice.

Mingmei turned her head. Abbot Shiqing's clone from Lotus Flower Temple had returned, while the Fifth Elder still stood between Shiqing and Changuang with blood-red eyes. The three formed a large triangle.

"Elder..."

Mingmei called out to the Fifth Elder standing not far away. His face was contorted in pain, as if he were going through some kind of torment. He frowned, and after a long while, he suddenly looked up in Mingmei's direction.

But as he looked over, the long sword in his hand trembled and pointed at her.

Before Mingmei could ask what was going on, the Fifth Elder, who had dropped his sword with a clang, suddenly said to Mingmei, "Go!

"Leave with Shiqing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shiqing turned around, hugged Mingmei and Mei Jiu, and left the spot. Mingmei stared wide-eyed as she watched the Fifth Elder once again perform a hand seal, pick up the sword from the ground, and stab it directly at Changuang, who was standing not far away.

For some reason, the Fifth Elder's actions gave Mingmei a very bad feeling, but as Shiqing flew up, his wide sleeves instantly blocked Mingmei's view.

"Don't look."

"Why?"

"He was controlled by Changuang a long time ago. It's a pity that Jin Wu's divine sense is exceptionally strong, something Changuang didn't expect." As Shiqing spoke, Mingmei felt a commotion coming from the other side. Before she could react, she felt herself being thrown out.

Mingmei: !!

Being carried and then thrown out, what the hell was going on?!

Mingmei subconsciously closed her eyes, feeling the sensation of her body falling rapidly, but quickly a pair of hands caught her again.

"Shiqing, what are you doing?!"

Mingmei heard her mother's roar in her ear. Only then did Mingmei open her eyes, only to be stunned by the thick smell of blood around her.

She looked up and saw Xie Chen's youthful face covered in blood as he held her up. Just as their eyes met, a dazzling light shone down on them.

In the blinding light, Mingmei noticed that her body seemed to be growing, and the people around her seemed to be changing as well.

In an instant, Mingmei transformed from a five- or six-year-old toddler into a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl, and Xie Chen also turned into a man in his twenties. Mingmei even saw that his clothes had changed.

From a green robe, he now wore a dark and ornate long robe. The bloody smell on him was even stronger, and his face was even thinner than the Mu Chen she had seen. His lips were so pale that they had no color at all.

Compared to before, he now looked even more disheveled and fragile.

Mingmei also lowered her head and saw that her clothes had also changed, turning into the top-grade defensive treasure robe that Ming Yi and the others had asked her to put on before their ascension.

There were two immortal-grade treasure mirrors on the Yuanhe Continent. One was the Samsara Mirror of Pure Cloud Mountain, which could窥探天机 (kuī tàn tiān jī, peep into the secrets of heaven) and the future. It had caused a great disaster due to the previous sect leader's abuse, and had been sealed away after the previous sect leader's death.

The other was the溯回法镜 (Sù Huí Fǎ Jìng,溯回 Dharma Mirror) of Lotus Flower Temple.

Those who were illuminated by the Dharma Mirror would return to the most important day of their past...

Outside the game,

"Oh my god! I, I'm gone?!"

Crawling out of the game pod, Lu Xiaoyao didn't even have time to check what time it was. As soon as she got out, she shouted that she was so close to seeing the truth, but she was gone!

Her loud voice quickly alerted a group of AI medical staff who were on standby 24 hours a day, and they immediately carried her away.

Lu Xiaoyao: ??!!

Where had Lu Xiaoyao ever seen such a scene?

"I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy."

"Yes, yes, you're not crazy. We're just going to check your body. It won't hurt~"

The AI nurse's tone was as if she was coaxing an idiot.

This made her feel even more like she was crazy!

Lu Xiaoyao: "I was just a little excited after playing the game."

AI nurse: "Yes, yes, I understand~"

Lu Xiaoyao: "I met the big villain in the game."

AI nurse: "Yes, yes~"

"The big villain was so powerful, but unfortunately, I was killed before I could hear the whole process of him doing bad things."

"Oh~~"

"So, I'm not crazy, understand?"

"Understood~!"

Looking at the two AI nurses who were holding her tightly, Lu Xiaoyao felt that her words didn't seem to have had a very good effect.

"I'm not crazy."

"I know. Just excited from playing too many games."

"I'm telling you to put me down, do you dare?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the AI nurses released their hands at the same time.

With a "plop," Lu Xiaoyao fell straight down, the pain of her tailbone hitting the ground finally made Lu Xiaoyao scream again!

"Ah—!!"

This scream, whether it was truly telepathy or not, made Julian, who still had a breath left in the game, lying there looking up at everything in the air, suddenly feel like he had lost half a breath.

"What's wrong?" Lou Jia was analyzing the story plots of these big shots overhead, but he felt that the person next to him seemed to be a little off?

"It's okay, just bleeding too much..."

Julian remembered to take a pill and put it in his mouth.

Because the battles of the big shots had finally stopped, Lou Jia and Julian, who were recording the plot, were now simply lying there watching.

He continued to turn his head to look at the big shots floating in the air, and finally couldn't help but sigh, "I really don't understand these stories. Didn't they say that the mirror will send people back to the most profound moment in their memories? How did these two kids grow up?"

"Because they are reborn." Although he didn't understand the whole story of the scene in front of him, he had seen the setting of reborn characters in the games he had played before, looking at the two "NPCs" who had grown from small to large.

He could understand the changes in these two people.

"Now that you say it, I can understand why that Xie Chen was so capable at such a young age." Lou Jia was very impressed with Xie Chen's one-against-many scene.

"If he's reborn... no wonder that bug was tricked. He played that bug around in circles, and today the other party didn't seem to be here to save him, but rather, because of his sudden cry for help, he was casually swatted to death..."

Julian had been ambushing near the prison tonight, but the first fight actually broke out not in the prison, but in the guest courtyard. Later, because of the participation of the big shots who were ambushing here, the battle moved and destroyed the dungeon, allowing the Zerg to escape.

But the other party's escape lasted less than two minutes before he was instantly turned into mincemeat because he wanted to call for help from Xie Chen, who hadn't had his mask removed at the time.

Julian was directly seriously injured at the time. He originally thought that the disappearance of the Zerg would end the game soon, but he didn't expect that the climax of the real story had just begun!
