Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

The second year since Mu Ling'er ran away from home.

That is, the five kingdoms lasted for ten years.

Over the course of more than a year, Mu An found a total of seventeen treasure locations and also found seventeen treasures left to him by Mu Ling'er.

Each treasure location has a treasure chest, and each treasure chest contains a letter and a photo album.

As if knowing what Mu An was doing, the departing Mu Ling'er communicated with Mu An in this unique way.

Letters served as a medium for communication between the two, while photo albums held their memories of every little thing they had shared.

If it weren't for the limited time remaining, Mu An would have found this way of communicating quite interesting.

Although it wasn't as direct as face-to-face interaction, it added a different kind of emotion, allowing Mu An to slow down her thoughts a bit and have more time to think, instead of acting according to habit as before.

……

Each treasure location chosen by Mu Ling'er has its own unique features, whether it be stunning scenery or distinctive culture.

The most outrageous one is the sixth location, where the treasure is hidden in an alley next to a tavern.

In the letter, Mu Ling'er specifically asked Mu An how the wine at the tavern tasted, which really left Mu An somewhat helpless.

It can be said that every place was a treasure trove that Mu Ling'er had carefully searched for with great effort.

If sharing is the highest form of romance, then what Mu Ling'er is doing is sharing all the beauty she sees with Mu An.

It has to be said that Mu Ling'er really understands Mu An. Even though it was a treasure buried a long, long time ago, it can still stir Mu An's emotions.

These letters alone were enough to convince Mu An to continue this absurd game.

If it weren't for the fact that some aspects were completely different from what Mu Ling'er had described in her letter, Mu An would have even suspected that the little guy was hiding somewhere, watching him from afar.

Otherwise, he shouldn't be able to write content that is so close to life and so in line with his current situation.

However, the truth is that these things were indeed buried a long time ago.

Among them are things that Mu Ling'er wrote decades or even a hundred years ago.

The mountains and rivers remain the same, but the world has changed beyond recognition.

Like the seventeenth treasure, Mu Ling'er wrote in the letter.

The treasure is located in a very, very lively town. Every now and then, the town holds a grand bonfire party, and Mu An is invited to watch it as well.

In order to find the town mentioned in Mu Ling'er's letter, Mu An specially searched the surrounding area, but only found a ruined wall that had long been covered by grass and trees.

It's not hard to guess how long ago Mu Ling'er left this letter.

This made Mu An want to complain about Mu Ling'er, while also making him miss her even more.

It turns out that a long, long time ago, before his humanity was suppressed to the bottom, Mu Ling'er had already realized that such a thing might happen in the future, and had thought so much for him long ago.

Mu An's desire to see the little guy again was stronger than ever before, and he was filled with fighting spirit, quickening his pace.

It's not too late. Mu Ling'er has eaten three longevity fruits and has received careful care from Mu An. Her lifespan is slightly longer than that of an ordinary Martial Saint. As long as he can find Mu Ling'er within ten years, it's still not too late.

Mu An felt that if he could win this game, the little guy would have no reason to refuse to ascend to godhood.

The only uncertainty for Mu An was how much of his humanity would be restored after this journey, and whether he could reach the level that Mu Ling'er expected.

To be honest, this is an extremely difficult process to reverse, and even if Mu An is trying to control it, it is very difficult to really change it.

These little surprises did help him a lot, but that was all.

Mu An now clearly knows that, without realizing it, the divinity within him has taken over, and even if he discovers the problem, he has no way to deal with it.

If he were alone, he would only wander further and further down the shortcut, eventually merging with the Book of Creation, which represents several great paths.

……

With the intention of seeing Mu Ling'er, thanking her properly, and teaching her a lesson, Mu An arrived at the eighteenth treasure location.

In southern Xinjiang, there is a small town that was built only thirty or forty years ago.

In a house on the west side of the town, Mu An found a new clue.

A clue that made him want to abandon the game and bring Mu Ling'er back on the spot.

"Please, Da'an, practice medicine in this small town for a year as an ordinary doctor."

"This year, you should act like a normal person: eat when you're supposed to eat, sleep when you're supposed to sleep, wear less when it's hot, and wear more when it's cold..."

"I've already prepared everything you need, Da'an, including money, clothes, and medicine. So please don't make any other excuses to refuse. Just complete this task well."

"After you complete this task, new clues will be delivered to you, Da'an."

—A slightly willful and naughty child.

……

The house where the treasure was hidden contained the relevant land deeds, and the transaction took place three months prior.

Clearly, Mu Ling'er had calculated the time of Mu An's arrival and had specially reserved this room.

This is a way of telling Mu An that she is doing well and that there is no need to worry about her.

This was also a way of telling Mu An that this game would last a very long time, so long that Xu Yanshou's methods wouldn't be enough to keep up.

The previous emotion vanished completely upon seeing the letter. At this moment, all Mu An wanted to do was grab Mu Ling'er and give her a good beating.

Clutching the letter in his hand, Mu An finally understood how Xiao He felt when she chased after Mu Ling'er to beat her up back then.

Sometimes, I really feel like this little girl is asking for a lot of trouble!

……

After a long silence, the person at the table let out a long sigh.

At the time of ascension to godhood, the person seeking godhood must possess a steadfast will.

If Mu Ling'er herself doesn't want to become a god, even if he binds her to the Five Spirits Immortal Realm, the god who finally appears will not be his Mu Ling'er.

Looking at the furniture already prepared in the room, and the medicine box placed on the table, Mu An had to admit it.

Mu Ling'er really calculated his thoughts and took full advantage of his last emotions.

Moreover, how could he not guess what Mu Ling'er was thinking?

Transform into the mortal realm, transform into the mortal realm...

Having come this far, how easy is it for him to transcend the mundane world?

……

It has been three years since Mu Ling'er ran away from home.

In Guniu Town, there is an unnamed courtyard.

Just as Old Wang, carrying his medicine bag, was about to push open the door, the neighbor's young girl peeked out.

"Did Grandpa Wang go to see Doctor Mu again today?"

The old man, who was about to enter, looked in the direction of the sound and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"It's Xiao Cui! Your Grandpa Wang was injured many years ago, and only Doctor Mu can cure me within a hundred miles!"
