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

In the study, which was always brightly lit day and night, Mu An put down the book in his hand and looked up at Yun Wan in front of him.

The girl, whom Yu Mu'an was somewhat familiar with, was standing in front of his table, holding a dead koi fish, pleading with him incessantly. Her usually cunning eyes were swollen from crying.

"Sir, please, save Sixth Senior Brother..."

Yun Wan herself hadn't even noticed the change from Little Fish to Sixth Senior Brother; she just instinctively called out the name.

From Yun Wan's perspective, she didn't know what her senior brothers had done, nor did she know whether it was right or wrong. She only knew that her senior brothers and sisters were all very good to her, so good that she regarded everyone in the academy as her own family.

Under Yun Wan's pleading gaze, Mu An glanced in the northwest direction and then shook his head in front of her.

"The path one chooses is one's own, and one cannot blame others for where it leads. The dead cannot be brought back to life; this is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. Feng Jian has been dead for several days, and no one in the world can save him."

Mu An's voice paused, then turned several degrees colder.

"Moreover, such a failure is not worth wasting time on."

The words "failure" felt like a sharp blade piercing Yun Wan's chest. The girl's eyes widened as she stared at Mu An in disbelief.

She knew Mu An wouldn't agree easily, and she knew her request was unreasonable, but she really didn't expect to hear the word "failure" from Mu An's mouth.

A wave of despair washed over her, but Yun Wan did not give up. She stood in front of Mu An and kept pleading for him.

"Sir, you can save them. I saw it. I beg you, even if you can't save Senior Brother Feng, at least let Senior Brother and Seventh Senior Brother return to the academy alive..."

"You saw it?" Mu An's usually calm tone changed slightly, revealing a rare hint of curiosity.

Peeking into destiny has always been a privilege reserved for the strongest. It is an incredible thing that a girl who is not even born with innate talent could be able to foresee the future.

From the first time Mu An met Yun Wan, he knew that Yun Wan was no ordinary person. Strictly speaking, this was not their first meeting.

Mu An knew that Yun Wan must have some mysterious aspects, but he didn't know exactly how Yun Wan's specialness would manifest itself.

After all, the existence behind Yun Wan is no less powerful than the Book of Creation. Without forcibly exploring, he cannot know what Yun Wan is hiding.

Hearing Yun Wan say that she saw the future, he was genuinely curious.

With her mind focused on saving lives, Yun Wan didn't think too much, or rather, she didn't have a clear understanding of her own abilities. In front of Mu An, Yun Wan recounted the scenes from her dream.

"Sixth Senior Brother is dead, Seventh Senior Brother is dead, and Eldest Senior Brother's limbs have all been cut off... Even Second Senior Sister is dead, but she came back to life. Although I didn't see you, Master, I know that you must have saved her..."

……

Perhaps she was too impatient, because Yun Wan blurted out everything she saw in her dream, including things she hadn't told Li Yin.

Upon hearing this, Mu An also became interested, and her clear black and white eyes turned colorful.

The lines of destiny intertwined in the heavens, and the future direction of the Nine Realms emerged in Mu An's mind.

Thousands of threads, intertwined.

From the moment he became the Supreme Saint of Heaven and Earth, Mu An could easily observe the future direction of the Nine Realms, but he rarely used this ability.

At this very moment, under Mu An's observation, thousands upon thousands of invisible lines of fate appeared one after another, some thick and some thin, each leading to a different future.

The scene Yun Wan described also appeared on one of the thicker lines.

If nothing unexpected happens, Mu An should have looked away by now, refocused on reality, and found some excuse to send Yun Wan away.

After all, Mu An has never liked to observe the future. Compared to the uncertain future created by the intertwining of fate lines, Mu An has more faith in himself.

The future of the Nine Realms does not depend on so-called destiny, but on Mu An's thoughts.

But this time, Mu An watched for a very long time, so long that even the old Celestial Master far away in the Four Symbols Mountain noticed the change in the fate line.

The old master glanced in the direction of Mu An from afar, and seeing that Mu An seemed to be getting angry, he quickly looked away.

The Old Master never gets involved in Mu An's affairs, nor does he ever coerce her in any way.

Unbeknownst to Yun Wan, the power of the Book of Creation surged from the depths of Mu An's sea of ​​consciousness, causing time within that small space to almost freeze.

Time was stretched out indefinitely, a single breath was ten years, while to the outside world it was only a breath. Mu An had already observed all the observable lines of fate.

One by one, over and over again, looking from the past hundred years to the next five hundred years.

In every future he envisioned, there was no one he wanted to see, not himself, and not Mu Ling'er.

In all the futures that Mu An saw, there was only one seemingly familiar, yet utterly unfamiliar, Five Spirit Mystic Maiden.

Deities born from heaven and earth cannot exist outside of them.

After observing again and again, Mu An's face darkened completely.

Its colorful eyes would gaze at the Five Spirits Immortal Realm high in the heavens, and then at the Heavenly Saint Mountain deep in the clouds.

"call--"

A flood of emotions surged into Mu An's heart, causing him to lose his composure in that instant.

The vibrant colors faded from the pupils, and black and white once again filled the eyes.

When the truth of everything flooded into her mind uncontrollably, Mu An felt a deep sorrow and a profound sense of helplessness.

The most difficult thing to grasp in this world is the human heart. Even those who are with each other day and night have no way of knowing what they are thinking.

When this treasure hunt began, Mu An had anticipated that Mu Ling'er wouldn't do things her way, since Mu Ling'er had clearly shown such a tendency at the very beginning.

But during the journey, everything changed again, and Mu An naturally assumed that Mu Ling'er ultimately failed to overcome her fear of death.

This is normal; most people in the world fear death, and the happier they are, the more they fear it.

Mu Ling'er was undoubtedly happy.

In Mu An's eyes, Mu Ling'er was always just an ordinary child, without exceptional talent or extraordinary abilities.

Aside from being lucky, Mu Ling'er doesn't actually have any particularly outstanding qualities.

Whether it was cultivation or study, Mu Ling'er performed very ordinarily. She learned everything very slowly and could only make up for it by working hard and spending more time, just like countless ordinary people.

Just like Mu An before he came to the Nine Realms, he was unremarkable and would not be noticed in a crowd.

How could such an ordinary person, someone who grew up in happiness, possibly give up the power that is within easy reach, and how could he possibly have the courage to face death?

Mu An thought this way, and Mu Ling'er guessed Mu An's thoughts, which allowed everything that followed to happen.

Neither of them expected that Yun Wan's sudden action would disrupt all of Mu Ling'er's plans.

"The game you were promised... turns out like this..."

"What does this little guy think I've become, that he'd choose to express his thoughts this way..."

……

"well……"

"Why does it have to be so similar to my past self..."

……

The strange sentiments made Yun Wan even more confused. She wanted to continue to persuade her, but she also felt that she shouldn't speak at this time.

Mu An ignored Yun Wan's bewildered expression and suddenly turned his head, saying a few words that were very strange to Yun Wan.

"You're completely different from before. Is it because your reincarnation wasn't complete, or did He give you something special? What exactly happened in the Land of Reincarnation?"

"gentlemen?"

"Enough, this matter is none of your concern. Just forget about today."
