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

What is it like to fall in love with a memory?

In the past, Mu An would never have been able to answer this question, and would have even thought that the person asking the question was probably mentally ill.

Memories are just memories; falsehoods will always remain falsehoods.

What is memory?

From a scientific perspective, memory is the cognitive process by which the brain encodes, stores, and retrieves information about objective things.

From the perspective of cultivating immortality, memory is the path a cultivator takes, an important component of obsession, and one of the foundations of one's own existence.

In the shared understanding of both civilizations, memory does not exist in a physical form; it is a flow of information, an illusory and ethereal existence.

However, after seeing Chu Yunyan and Lin Tian and witnessing things that defied common sense, Mu An gained a new understanding of this matter.

When falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood; when nothingness is taken for existence, even existence becomes nothingness.

At their level, the line between truth and falsehood is merely a matter of a single thought.

As long as you are willing to believe, illusion can become reality, and falsehood can become truth.

Powerful forces can distort reality, distort cognition, and distort the most basic laws of physics.

All thoughts and ideas are true.

Chu Yunyan and Lin Tian are the best examples.

These two seemingly loving young couples are not actually living beings in the conventional sense.

One is the embodiment of a powerful being, and the other is a "puppet" created by the powerful being using memories.

Because the great being who created them felt that they should exist, they were born and became an inseparable part of the myriad realms and seas.

Mu An had no way of knowing what this unknown powerful being had experienced, nor did he know why He had created these two beings.

But Mu An knew that Chu Yunyan and Lin Tian, ​​whom he saw, were real people, not illusions.

The former possesses a soul essence at the Dao Fruit level, while the latter also has its own memories, its own life, and can even be reborn in one world after another.

The great power that created them may have long since lost all emotion, walking on the path of seeking the Dao in the vast sea of ​​realms.

But these two beings created by this great being possess rich emotions and are writing their own stories in the myriad realms and seas.

Mu An didn't know if Chu Yunyan knew all this, but he knew that in the long years past...

Chu Yunyan had always been searching for Lin Tian's traces, accompanying him through life in different identities in one world after another.

From the perspective of the Nine Realms civilization, their love story can definitely be considered a symbol of unwavering devotion.

It can make all the people in the world who yearn for love admire it.

Right now, the young couple is whispering sweet nothings in the woods, putting on a romantic scene.

Her behavior became increasingly arrogant. In the secluded grove, Chu Yunyan pinned her timid childhood friend to the ground and bullied him mercilessly, showing no intention of avoiding Mu An.

While kissing her childhood sweetheart's cheek, Chu Yunyan also smiled at Mu An, who was far away on the Starfall Continent, seemingly quite satisfied with him as her audience.

Mu An had no opinion on this blatant display of affection; she simply looked away, leaving the two some privacy.

During his time living in the Celestial Craftsmanship Realm, he had seen countless such things, and they were truly uninteresting.

Only Qinghe, that internet-addicted girl, would enjoy such a boring thing.

Back in the world of Crafts, Qinghe loved seeking thrills on the Crafts Star Network.

Seeking thrills is one thing, but every time Qinghe watches a movie, she pretends to cover her eyes with her hands and angrily denounces these "improper" things while watching.

His words were so harsh, just like those old-fashioned men from large families.

The drool at the corner of her mouth and the gaps between her fingers were hardly convincing.

Despite the obvious exposure, Qinghe still refused to admit it, insisting on continuing her self-deception to the very end.

Once Mu An speaks to her, Qinghe immediately turns into a little hedgehog, bristling with fur and babbling incessantly, saying strange things.

But she couldn't control herself, and often, in the dead of night, she would hide under the covers and enjoy all sorts of exciting content.

……

Mu An turned his gaze away from Chu Yunyan and Lin Tian and shook his head naturally.

These days, the Nine Realms are getting more and more chaotic.

All sorts of monsters and demons are flocking to the Nine Realms.

It's one thing for people to steal the fruit, but for couples to come over too, I really don't know what's going on.

Regarding Lin Tian's "Reversal and Ascension System," Mu An stated...

It's just a system, so be it. The young couple can play with it however they want; consider it a way to build good karma.

Although he lost a system for nothing, Mu An felt that meeting such an unconventional being was a considerable gain.

Through these two people, Mu An gained a deeper understanding of memory and existence.

He vaguely realized that he could do what Chu Yunyan could do.

Let illusion become reality, let falsehood become truth, let memories form a cycle, and let everything that was once lost reappear and become a real existence in the present.

As long as he chooses to believe, Xiao Lü, Xiao He, Mu Ling'er, and all the beautiful memories of the past can reappear in his life.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. For the first time since becoming a Golden Immortal, Mu An felt at a loss.

When everything he had once pursued was now within reach, Mu An hesitated.

The heartbeat did not speed up, and the blood flow was the same as usual; or rather, these superficial things were meaningless.

But for some reason, Mu An felt as if he were experiencing the feelings of an ordinary person once again, feeling the heavy weight of a boulder pressing on his heart.

As the miniature Mu Mansion appeared in his hands, all the beautiful memories of the past flooded his mind.

Little Green's gentle whispers, Little Lotus's soft advice, Mu Ling'er's joyful laughter...

Illusion and reality intertwine before our eyes.

From sunrise to sunset, Mu An stood under the tree for a very long time.

After a while, Qinghe quietly crept up behind him, tiptoed, and covered his eyes.

"Guess who I am?"

"Stop fooling around."

"That wicked goddess Xuan Nu said there will be a meteor shower tomorrow night. Would you like to watch it with me, sir?"

"Meteor shower?"

"Yes, it seems to be a once-in-a-century meteor shower. I've prepared hot pot and fine wine, and I'd like to watch it with you, sir."

"Sir, I'm not in a very good mood right now."

"How about I offer my little head and give you a couple of taps to vent your anger? But let me make this clear first, you can't really hit me hard, or I'll be in a lot of pain and I might start crying and you won't be able to soothe me."

"Then go ahead and cry."

"Hehehe... It's settled then, let's watch the star shower together tomorrow night!"

……

……

"Ruyan, do we really have to do this?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Just do what I tell you! And hurry up!"

"So I really hit him? Let's make this clear first, you're the one who told me to hit him, so you're not allowed to hit me later!"

"With your skinny arms and legs, how much strength do you have? Hurry up, don't waste my time!"

"No! Ruyan, you have to swear first! Promise you won't beat me up tonight!"

"If you keep babbling, I'll punch you right now!"
