It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists-Chapter 487: The Innate Celestial Furnace and the Innate Celestial Furnace p1

Just this wisp of white light seemed capable of annihilating the illusion of stars!

Mu Zhian narrowed his eyes, staring at the object within the white light.

It was an arrow, very small, only the size of a fingernail.

But as it descended, the Spiritual Energy in the entire space seemed to be instantly stripped away, the space distorting, forming a vortex of air currents.

“The Heavenly Dao’s Origin Arrow!”

Mu Zhian’s expression changed, finally realizing the origin of this thing.

The Origin Arrow that sealed the Primordial Witch’s last spiritual sense!

However, the aura of this Origin Arrow was far less terrifying than the one sealing the Primordial Witch.

Probably not even one percent of it.

Whoosh!

The arrow shot out rapidly. It didn’t pierce Mu Zhian’s body, but stopped before him.

A soft, pale white light shone down on Mu Zhian. Within the light, a woman, seemingly formed from countless lights, descended from the sky, gently caressing his face.

Like a creator goddess, all-encompassing.

Mu Zhian tried to move, but found that, let alone his body, even a single finger was difficult to move.

“Who are you?” he asked with difficulty.

She didn’t speak, just gazed at Mu Zhian tenderly, then gently pulled him into her embrace.

At this moment, the falling rain froze, the entire world seemingly solidifying.

Then, the soft halo gradually enveloped Mu Zhian’s body completely.

Mu Zhian felt a strong drowsiness and a sense of peace. He knew that this seemingly harmless method was often the most deadly, but he still gradually let down his guard, wanting only to fall asleep in this warm embrace.

Until finally, he slowly closed his eyes.

The soft white light dispersed, and the courtyard was empty, only the sound of rain remaining. Time passed silently amidst the interplay of light and shadow.

…

“Why did Master suddenly want to take me to see that Brother Mu…? Who is he?”

In the courtyard of Dexin Garden, Ye Qian stopped, a confused look on her face, and looked at her master with puzzled eyes.

Yao Meng suddenly heard a voice from behind: “Where is Senior Jade Empress planning to take Qian’er?”

Yao Meng turned and saw Ye Lingxuan had walked out of the house at some point.

“I was planning to take Qian’er to see your Brother Mu, but she seems…”

Before Yao Meng could finish speaking, she saw Ye Lingxuan freeze, her eyes widening slightly, as if recalling something important. She quickened her pace and rushed out of Dexin Garden.

“What’s wrong?” Yao Meng immediately called out to her.

Ye Lingxuan stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, looking blankly at the empty Jade Glass Palace, and murmured softly, “I… I want to see someone… But I forgot who that person is… He seems to be very important to me.”

As she spoke, she slowly squatted down, hugging her knees, and rested her forehead against them listlessly.

It was the first time Yao Meng had seen this proud and talented young girl show such an expression, lost and helpless like an abandoned child.

She looked at the Reincarnated Empress, who was always by Ye Lingxuan’s side: “Don’t you remember either?”

The Reincarnated Empress silently gazed at Ye Lingxuan and gently shook her head: “I know all her memories, and what she doesn’t know, I naturally don’t know either.”

Yao Meng was silent.

Some cultivators who practiced the ‘Qi Refining’ Dao could indeed shield destiny to a certain extent, even making their presence undetectable.

But even the Reincarnated Empress couldn’t remember… The only one who could achieve this was—

—The Heavenly Dao.

Dao Integration Realm experts were still bound by the rules of heaven and earth, so they were still restricted by the heavenly rules. After the heavenly rules shielded Mu Zhian, naturally no one would remember him.

But the Transcendence Realm was an exception.

“It seems something really happened to him?”

Just then, Yao Meng suddenly sensed an incredibly familiar aura. Her spiritual sense instantly locked onto the other party, and she looked at the woman who spoke.

That iconic black and white interwoven palace dress, and the bright plum blossoms embroidered on the fabric… undoubtedly, it was Gong Lianyue!

“Why are you here?” Yao Meng asked.

Gong Lianyue looked at Ye Lingxuan, whose expression was filled with struggle as she was held by the Reincarnated Empress, and the dazed and uncertain Ye Qian, and said with an expressionless face, “Even Dao Integration Realm memories are slightly affected. If Ruoxi hadn’t told me about the abnormality here, I probably wouldn’t have noticed.”

“Transcendence Realm experts aren’t affected by the heavenly rules, so your and my memories haven’t changed, but other people’s memories have more or less been altered, right?”

Yao Meng was calmer than expected. Looking at Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian, she suddenly asked faintly, “Do you really not remember anything about Mu Zhian?”

“I don’t know… I don’t know who the Mu Zhian you’re talking about is. Is he important to me?” Ye Lingxuan gently shook her head, her expression struggling.

Yao Meng quietly gazed at the two, then suddenly said, “Have you ever thought, if Mu Zhian never existed in this world, then who did you give your first kiss, and even your first time, to?”

These words were like a thunderclap in their minds.

Ye Lingxuan was first embarrassed and ashamed, because in her worldview, such an absurd thing as serving the same husband with Qian’er was impossible.

But before she could speak, she suddenly realized that her first essence had already been lost long ago.

Ye Qian was also stunned.

Then, the young girl’s originally dazed and struggling eyes gradually lit up with an unprecedented light.

Yes…

She had felt like a piece of her heart was missing, an inexplicable sense of loss, because she had forgotten someone very important, and… she wasn’t sure if that person truly existed.

But if that person didn’t truly exist, then her first kiss, and even her body… who were they given to?

Ye Lingxuan seemed to recall something important and took out a snow lotus symbolizing purity from her storage ring. She couldn’t remember who or what she had forgotten, but for some reason, seeing this snow lotus made her feel nostalgic, and also a sense of inexplicable resentment.

Why resentment? Was she resenting someone?

But if that was the case, why couldn’t she hate that person…?

Ye Lingxuan slowly held the snow lotus in her arms, as if feeling its warmth.

Yao Meng’s eyes flickered, seemingly not understanding the meaning of Ye Lingxuan’s action.

“Mu Lang gave us a snow lotus when he was in Tianxuan City. And this one is probably the one he gave Lingxuan when he first met her,” Bai Ruoxi’s gentle voice echoed through the courtyard.

“That’s so like him,” Yao Meng said softly.

“Aren’t you worried about his safety?” Gong Lianyue asked.

“The Two Polarities Sect’s formations are still active, and he hasn’t used the Lord of the Heavenly Court’s power, he’ll be fine.”

Yao Meng said faintly, “Besides, he’s the man I’ve set my sights on. I don’t believe he would truly vanish from this world without a trace.”

…

As the two Human Emperors left, within Dexin Garden, the Reincarnated Empress gently embraced Ye Qian and Ye Lingxuan, as if comforting them.

“Do you think I’ll also have someone I like?” Ye Lingxuan suddenly asked softly in the white-robed woman’s warm embrace.

The Reincarnated Empress silently gazed at the young girl in her arms and said softly, “I don’t really believe it.”

Ye Lingxuan seemed polite to everyone, a very courteous young lady, but her pride was probably unmatched, because from the past until now, no one of her age had surpassed her in talent.

“But the Jade Empress just said—”

Before Ye Lingxuan could finish speaking, the Reincarnated Empress suddenly released her and gently pointed at her chest: “But your heart won’t lie to you.”

“Are you sad now?” she asked again.

Ye Lingxuan was silent for a long time, then hummed softly in agreement.

She couldn’t remember the ‘Mu Zhian’ the Jade Empress mentioned, but every time she saw this snow lotus, a sharp pain stabbed through her heart, as if pricked by a needle.

After a long while, as if making up her mind, she looked up at the Reincarnated Empress: “After returning to the Forbidden Zone this time, I want to complete the final merging with you.”

After merging with the Reincarnated Empress, she would no longer be Ye Lingxuan, but the Forbidden Zone Empress with the complete memories of her nine past lives.

According to the Reincarnated Empress, she had never had a Dao Companion in her past nine lives, but in this life, she had confirmed a romantic relationship with someone, even together with Qian’er…

“You used to reject the memories of your past lives, why are you willing now…?”

“Accepting the memories also means knowing the Daos I walked in my past nine lives… Just you telling me isn’t enough. Only by knowing all of this will I be qualified to attempt Transcendence.”

Ye Lingxuan slowly raised her head, an unprecedented determination in her magnificent, amethyst-like eyes.
