I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 518 Chang'e Flying to the Moon
Returning to the normal timeline, the Moon will appear one year later.

A year has passed since that grand "moonset" event.

Before we knew it, it was August 15th of the new year, and a near-perfect full moon hung high in the night sky.

At this moment, the position of the Moon is far from the Earth, even further away than before the moon set.

However, despite the combined brilliance of the stars, the Moon's light was more dazzling than ever before.

It was a gentle light, different from the sun, that made people feel at ease even when looked directly at.

"Is this what it feels like to have a body again?"

On the outermost edge of the Hundred Mountains, there is a riverbank where towering power towers stand.

A burly, robust man carefully turned around, his face filled with the joy of being reborn.

Although the body appeared to have white hair and beard.

His skin was as white as paper, just like that of a person with albinism.

However, its vibrant vitality is undeniable, and its health level far exceeds ordinary people's imagination.

"This body is made up entirely of peach cells, so you now have a semi-immortal body."

With a blank expression, Ling Gu Zi slowly stood up and said as he carefully put away the various surgical instruments.

"Furthermore, your heart was made from the arrowhead of that sun-shooting arrow."

"The remaining arrow shafts were reshaped into your skeleton, so you should now be considered half a primordial god."

"I don't care who you are, and I don't want to know your background..."

"I saved you simply because of Li Jingshu, so you don't need to thank me in any special way."

Before the man could react, Ling Gu Zi blew his bone whistle and rode a bronze snake away along the riverbank.

"Thank you!"

Watching Ling Gu Zi's departing figure, the man expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

After expressing his gratitude, the man felt confused by Ling Gu Zi's last words.

The man stood motionless on the riverbank for a long time, his newborn face displaying an extremely contradictory and complex expression.

"So, have you come to realize your own identity now?"

Without a sound, Li Boyang appeared, his arms crossed over his chest.

Behind Li Boyang, Wang Shu, with a cold and stern face, leaned against the towering power tower, looking completely unconcerned.

"I don't know who I am, but I know I'm definitely not Yi the Archer."

Without turning his head, the man smiled somewhat bitterly.

"Although the god of the full moon possesses profound abilities, he does not understand people's hearts."

"Or perhaps she simply didn't care whether I was Da Yi or not; she just wanted to leave something for her sister to remember her by."

The "Goddess of the Full Moon" mentioned by the man naturally refers to Heng'e, and he himself is the memory of Yi that Heng'e preserved using the Sun-Shooting Arrow.

"You are alive now, that's beyond doubt."

Looking at the man with great interest, Li Boyang's words were also true.

At Li Jingshu's request, Li Boyang helped the man rebuild his soul, and Ling Guzi recreated his flesh and blood.

Because of the existence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the man could re-enter the cycle of reincarnation like an ordinary being, rather than just a pure memory.

"But I want more than just to come back to life..."

As memories of his time with Chang'e flashed through his mind, the man's voice grew even deeper.

Li Xuandu was able to easily break free from the influence of those memories because he had a complete life trajectory and experience.

But the man couldn't do that; he didn't even have any memories other than those of Da Yi.

Even the memories the man possessed about Da Yi were incomplete.

The man's memory of Yi was forever stuck on the moment he shot down the golden crow; he had no idea what happened afterward. "Actually, thinking about it from another perspective, perhaps it's not a bad thing that you don't have any subsequent memories."

Under the man's astonished gaze, Li Boyang said with a half-smile.

"Don't forget who stayed by his side after Yi shot down the suns."

"Whether for Chang'e or Heng'e, that memory holds a special meaning..."

"If you've even inherited that memory, can you still be so certain that you love Chang'e, not Heng'e?"

Taiyin Star, under the laurel tree in the Moon Palace.

At this very moment, the Moon still retains the damage and traces caused by that great battle.

Only the enormous pit was covered by the reborn laurel tree, which has become a great spectacle on the Moon Star.

The entire laurel tree occupies nearly one-tenth of the area occupied by the Taiyin Star.

The Yin essence that hung down like peach blossoms was more like the fruit of this divine tree.

Bathed in this materialized Yin energy, Chang'e's gaze appeared tense and timid, carrying a sense of trepidation as she approached home.

"Big sister... can she really be brought back to life?"

Faced with Chang'e's question, Li Jingshu, who was holding onto the tree root with one hand, rolled her eyes.

"You've asked me this question countless times, and I still don't know!"

"All I can do is use peach cells and water from the Jade Pool to help you revive this sacred laurel tree."

"As for whether your sister and mother can be reborn through this, you'll have to ask your younger brother..."

Li Jingshu paused slightly at this point.

"No, even I wouldn't dare give you a 100% definite answer to this kind of thing."

"Attaining enlightenment is never an easy thing, let alone the fact that they failed to do so."

"In fact, I'm starting to wonder how this laurel tree has survived?"

Li Jingshu was telling the truth; from any perspective, this laurel tree should not have been preserved.

Interference from countless timelines...

And it was continuously scorched by the sun's true fire for who knows how many years...

Finally, it also carried and preserved part of Heng'e's spirit...

It's incredible that the remains of this laurel tree have survived.

"Perhaps it's because... Father God still cherishes old feelings!"

From the perspective of Li Jingshu and others, the Heavenly Emperor Haojun was undoubtedly the ultimate boss of the previous era.

It's perfectly justifiable for the other party to do whatever heinous things.

However, in the real world, characters' stances and arcs are far less rigid and fixed.

At least in Chang'e's eyes, the Heavenly Emperor Haojun may not be a qualified husband or a qualified father.

But His love for his wife and children was never fake.

And that is indeed the case; otherwise, Haojun would not have allowed Heng'e to obstruct his path to enlightenment time and time again, yet he never took drastic measures to kill her.

"Tsk, that's your dad. What you think of him is none of my business."

"I can only tell you that even with the help of this laurel tree, it will not be an easy thing for you to follow in the footsteps of your mother and your sister."

With a slight upturn of her lips, Chang'e murmured in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes, I know, but it's time for me to grow up too."
