I, the Lord of the Fifth Heavenly Throne, flow out of all things!

Listening to Danterian's words, Duanmulian, who had read her original memory catalog, nodded in agreement.

After all, Lian was reincarnated as a Terminator, an alien!

It would not be surprising what the projection would become after reincarnation.

Danterian looked at the ancient tree in front of her with extremely deep eyes, and continued to explain in a tone of great admiration: "This ancient tree is the body of a certain generation of you, which can also be called the fruit of the Tao. That lotus cultivated the way of soul and reincarnation, and comprehended and devoured reincarnation in various worlds with the concept of reincarnation law. After death, he left behind this sacred tree with complete reincarnation law to cleanse and refine the soul."

This ancient reincarnation tree is the corpse of a certain generation of Duanmulian.

Duanmu Lian of that generation followed the Eastern system of practice. After being reincarnated as a tree, he transformed into a human form and began his own path of practice.

In addition to the way of plants and trees, the other party also practiced the way of soul and reincarnation because of the opportunity.

It can be said that nearly 70% of the world that Duanmulian experienced was a cultivation-style worldview of immortals, heroes, gods and demons.

If this ancient tree were placed in some fantasy world, it could be called a fairy tree, a magical medicine, or a spiritual root.

The ancient tree of reincarnation also plays a very important role in the interior of the space, and it also helps in the birth of the new Duanmulian.

The refinement of his soul is also thanks to the ancient tree of reincarnation.

"Lian, come and look at this."

After introducing the ancient tree of reincarnation, Danterian took Duanmulian to a special place under the ancient tree.

That was the place where tree roots broke through the ground and entangled around an egg-sized bead.

This 'bead' is beautiful, crystal clear and gorgeous, more charming than any gemstone or jade.

But what's even more fascinating is the interior.

"This is!?"

As she got closer to look at the bead entangled by the roots of the ancient tree, Duan Mulian's face couldn't help but become horrified.

Because that tiny bead contains the universe!

This is not a descriptive meaning, but a literal meaning!

In Duanmulian's eyes, inside an egg-sized round bead, there appeared an incomparably magnificent and profound sea of ​​stars in the universe.

"The Marble Universe is also where your 'previous life' took place."

As Darien spoke softly, she stretched out her fair little hand and gently touched the small marble in front of her that contained the entire universe.

Next, the scene of the Milky Way appeared in the bead, and then the perspective quickly zoomed in to the solar system, and finally to the Chinese region on Earth.

This marble universe is one of the high-dimensional technologies that a certain generation of Duanmulian learned from the world of "Men in Black".

It can also be said to be a very effective and extremely useful technology.

In addition to making your own universe, you can also make other universes the size of marbles.

At this moment, Duanmulian was also silent.

Because he saw his past life, or rather, his dead body lying on the bed in the room, from the tiny marbles.

Darien had said before that his situation was similar to The Truman Show, and now it seems that she was right.

If he guessed correctly, his previous life was a script set by "Duanmulian".

And it has been played out countless times.

After all, it is better for people to experience Duanmulian's life in person than to leave a simple memory imprint.

The sense of déjà vu that Duanmulian can feel is also caused by the soul repeating past life experiences countless times.

This can also be said to be the necessary process and foundation for producing the individual 'Duanmulian'.

At the beginning, that is, after Duanmulian died.

When a new consciousness was born in his soul fragments, it was a direct imprint of Duanmulian's past life memories.

It can be said that the means were relatively crude at that time.

Later, when Duanmu Lian became capable and competent, he naturally perfected this step from generation to generation.

The soul abyss that stores a huge number of Duanmulian's souls.

An ancient tree of reincarnation that refines, cleanses, and reincarnates souls.

And as an experimental site for a production factory, a certain generation of Duanmu Lian directly used the entire universe as the basis and created the Duanmu Lian version of The Truman Show.

"I haven't looked at my previous memories yet, so I'd like to ask, how strong is that 'me'?"

After seeing the "Marble Universe" in front of her, Duanmulian came back to her senses and looked at Darien beside her with complicated eyes, asking with some curiosity.

"He took the path of magic and became a demon god, who is countless times more powerful than the one in your memory of "Magic Index"..."

Darien explained what the previous generation of Duanmulian was like, and that the other party was an existence that used the magic system to achieve the perfect demon god.

After mastering the path of magic, he also made a great breakthrough in the field of Shinto, and his own strength is far greater than the demon in A Certain Magical Index.

To put it simply and directly, the strength of the previous generation of Duanmulian far exceeds that of the infinite demons in the world of Magical Index.

"By the way, could you please help me look at the memory palace to see how Lian died? He...should have something to say to me, right?"

When mentioning the previous generation Duanmulian, Darien's mood became depressed.

Duanmulian also knew that the girl was very sad. The crying voice she heard when she was dying in her previous life came from Darien.

Realizing her own birth still meant that the Duanmulian she knew was dead.

"...good."

Duanmulian nodded, then used her authority to start looking through the last memories of her previous generation.

Five minutes later, he told Darien what he had seen.

The previous generation of Duanmulian can be said to be very powerful, but the people, or [gods] he met during his tour of the other dimension were equally strong.

They are the three goddesses from the useless world of Tenchi and Masugi Tenchi who has become a god.

It can be said that each of the three goddesses of creation is a god of the multiverse level.

The three goddesses are existences beyond the three-dimensional, higher-dimensional, and even super-dimensional.

However, he still does not know whether there is a higher dimension above himself, so he seeks a breakthrough, seeks hope, and seeks something that can reach a higher dimension.

Wandering between the starting point and the end point of hope, the three goddesses took different approaches.

The three goddesses were very excited when the demon god Duanmulian suddenly appeared from another dimension, whose strength was comparable to theirs.

However, Duanmulian had a conflict with them because of her disagreement.

The final result was that Duanmulian killed the eldest sister Baimei Jiuyu and the youngest sister Fang Xishen of the three goddesses.

He was already overwhelmed by the remaining Tsuna Mei and the arriving Masugi Tenchi, and after severely injuring Tsuna Mei with the ruthless determination to die together, he self-destructed and completely destroyed the world created by the three goddesses.

This can be said to be a very heroic and grand exit.

When fighting one against four, the Demon God Lian took down two enemies and seriously injured another. His combat strength is naturally not weaker than that of the God of Seeking the Way and the God of Tyranny.

As for what he said to Darien, that was indeed true.

"[It seems that my generation has not been able to reach the end of everything, Darien. I can't bring you a new book you haven't read this time... I'm sorry.]"

"【I didn't keep my promise....I'm sorry...】"

"[I'm sorry that you, who are afraid of loneliness, have to be alone again...]"

"[The book we wrote together...it will be you who will put an end to it.]"

"[Don't end with tears, after all, we have lived for a long time, and happiness and joy definitely account for the majority of our lives.]"

"[Please take care of the 'me' that will be born later, my beloved book princess Darien. You are the meaning of my existence as a human being. It is my luck to fall in love with you and be loved by you.]"

Duanmulian passed this part of her memory to Darien, and the previous generation Duanmulian's words full of melancholy and helplessness echoed in the girl's mind.

But this time, Darien did not cry or shed tears. She clenched her fists and her whole body was shaking.

Tick-tick——

However, tears still fell, but they were not Darien's.

Darien suddenly looked up at Duanmulian, only to see that she looked bewildered. There was no sadness in her eyes, but tears were flowing out uncontrollably.

The girl didn't cry, but Lian did.

"I......."

Duan Mulian raised her hand in confusion and caught her tears.

Looking at the tears dripping into his palms, his eyes were confused and unbelievable, and his heart was in great chaos.

Emotions that did not belong to him were swirling and intertwining in his heart.

Reluctance, uneasiness, apology, nostalgia, love, etc... These emotions left over from the previous generation of Duanmu Lian have made their final echo in the soul of the current Duanmu Lian.

Every generation of Duanmulian will cut off their own souls and throw them into the soul abyss. This is their inheritance and ritual as Duanmulian.

The Duanmulian in front of Darien was in such a condition, and her soul must have been mixed with soul fragments of the previous generation of Duanmulian.

The soul is still the original soul, but the memory, emotions, and personality have been formatted, and a brand new seed personality has been reborn.

Duanmulian's huge group can be said to be one person, after all, they all have the same starting point.

But because of their different acquired experiences, they have become different people.

Now Duanmu Lian can feel her thoughts and feelings in her previous life.

He did not regret his ending, but he was unwilling to accept that he could not keep his promise to his beloved.

At the same time, he was worried about how Darien would survive alone.

Including the current Duanmulian, Darien can be said to have experienced the birth of three generations of Duanmulian.

The Demon Lotus knew that his future self would definitely take good care of Darien after receiving his memories.

But he also considered Darien's feelings.

How would the other person feel when he sees someone who looks like the one he loves but is not?

This is unknown, but what is certain is that it is definitely not good.

Therefore, in his last words, Demon God Lian was still hesitant about whether to say it or not.

Those are the five words: "Live well."

If he said it out loud, he didn't know whether Darien would live in pain.

If this is the case, then these five words can also be considered a 'vicious' curse.

Even if he didn't say it out loud, Demon God Lian didn't want to see Darien do anything stupid.

"alright......"

When Duanmulian was caught in a state of conflict and entanglement between his past and present lives, the girl's gentle voice pulled him out of this state.

When Duanmulian came to his senses, he saw Darien floating in front of him and gently patted his cheek with her small white hands.

After seeing Duan Mulian wake up, the girl gently wiped away the tears of the boy in front of her, and then said with a smile that could not be told whether it was happy or sad:

"Thank you for crying for me and him. I clearly said that we shouldn't end it with tears, but in the end you have to bear the sadness."

"I, that..."

"I know you are not him, and I am not the kind of woman who deceives herself, but... you are the continuation of 'Lian''s life, and please do not deny this."

Looking at the girl floating in front of her, holding her cheeks with her hands and smiling brightly, Duan Mulian was speechless for a moment.

Today, a sadness that he had almost forgotten emerged in his heart, and tears flowed that he hadn't shed for more than ten years.

But he knew very well that this emotion did not belong to him.

If we don't count the pre-determined previous life, then this moment is the official beginning of Duanmulian's birth.

He is not only the continuation of the life of the previous generation Duanmulian, but also the proof of the existence of countless Duanmulians.

All lotuses have the same starting point and beginning.
