I will be stronger after the remake

Tang Ping turned around, stared at the other person and said, "I don't hate falsehoods. After all, I sometimes lie too. What I hate is using falsehoods to decide my life, because, based on the experience of those who came before, doing so usually doesn't end well."

The light in Yu Shujiang's eyes dimmed instantly, and she said, "So, you've made up your mind?"

"Yes, I've decided to advance to the third rank tonight."

Tang Ping's spiritual power cultivation had long since reached the standard for advancing to the third level, and he had been adjusting his state recently to increase the success rate of the advancement.

Yu Shujiang asked, "What if everything is true, or even after advancing to the third level, one still can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood?"

"Since it is fate, then I will stay here and be with you, without envying the lovebirds or the immortals."

"I don't know whether to pray for your success or hope for your failure... But no matter what, as a younger sister, I shouldn't hold my older brother back."

Yu Shujiang stretched out her hands, straightened Tang Ping's collar, and said sincerely, "Whether you succeed or fail, I will be here waiting for you."

"Ah."

(Master: There will be one more update tonight)

Chapter 241 Retrieving Memories

The full moon hangs high in the sky, its clear light enveloping Peach Blossom Village like a veil.

Tang Ping sat alone on a blue stone by the stream behind the mountain, quietly gazing at his reflection in the water, reconstructing the world within his mind.

Having just learned the concept of oneness with nature, he was still quite unfamiliar with it and needed a relatively long preparation process before he could step into it again. So he slowly closed his eyes, cleared his mind of distractions, and immersed his consciousness in the surrounding environment.

A gentle night breeze carried the scents of grass and stream, and Tang Ping keenly sensed every movement of it; the chirping of insects drifted from afar, and he could distinguish the rhythm and frequency of the different insects' calls; a cool sensation emanated from the bluestone beneath his feet, seeping into his body through his skin, and he felt the coolness travel its course.

As his perception deepened, his breathing gradually synchronized with the rhythm of nature, his heartbeat blended with the rhythm of all things, and his aura became increasingly peaceful and steady.

As the world within her sea of ​​consciousness was constructed, Tang Ping's consciousness seemed to transform into a wisp of green smoke, drifting between heaven and earth. She could "see" the trajectory of fish swaying their tail fins in the stream, "hear" the slight friction sound of clouds drifting in the night sky, and "touch" the soft texture of moonlight shining on the earth.

In this wondrous state, the spiritual energy within his body began to circulate on its own, flowing along the most perfect meridians, dispelling all stagnation and disorder.

When Tang Ping opened his eyes again, they shone brightly and serenely, and he exuded an aura of oneness with heaven and earth. At this moment, he had completely entered the state of harmony between man and nature, and his body and mind had been adjusted to an unprecedented optimal state.

Or rather, the ideal state of mind is one of harmony between humanity and nature.

Suddenly, Tang Ping's spiritual pressure began to expand, and a golden lotus platform appeared out of thin air, lifting him three feet off the ground. Sanskrit characters flowed around the edge of the lotus platform, emitting low hums. The originally gentle spiritual energy began to boil, forming a golden vortex around him. Countless phantoms of monks appeared in the vortex, their hands clasped together and chanting Sanskrit.

When advancing from the second to the third stage, one would normally encounter monsters blocking the way, especially monsters closely related to one's own spiritual level. However, Tang Ping was currently in another world, and unless those monsters possessed the ability to teleport, they would be unable to reach this place. Therefore, the entire advancement process proceeded extremely smoothly without any disturbances.

About half an hour later, the spiritual energy vortex dissipated, turning into specks of starlight that condensed into countless golden Sanskrit characters beside Tang Ping. With a bell-like sound that reverberated through the void, a black mole the size of a pea quietly appeared between Tang Ping's eyebrows, like a drop of ink that penetrated the paper.

At the same time, all the phantom images of young monks gradually merged, transforming into the image of a spiritual child holding a golden alms bowl, and Tangping's aura became both pure and mysterious, difficult to capture.

[Person: Tang Ping]

[Spiritual Attributes: Reincarnation Child]

[Psionic Powers: Profound Goodness, Sweet Dew of Dharma, Insight into Karma, Recall of Past Lives, Three-Eyed True Radiance]

[Deeply rooted in goodness: You possess a natural affinity for and comprehension of virtuous teachings, and are able to quickly connect with the Dharma in terms of hearing it and practicing it, demonstrating a high level of understanding and acceptance of the Dharma.]

[The Nectar of the Wonderful Dharma: Omitted]

[Insight into Karma: Omitted]

[Past Life Recall: Gain the ability to remember everything seen and recall experiences from your previous life]

【Three-Eyed True Radiance: Omitted】

The moment he successfully advanced, countless memories flooded in like a burst dam. The altered memories were instantly corrected, but this little thing was insignificant. The memories from the first and second playthroughs were the key. Tang Ping stood there, stunned.

Doomsday, Suzaku's Creation, the Realm of Illusion is Reality, Advancing to the Fifth Reincarnation Will Usher in Doomsday, Beautiful Girl Romance System...

A barrage of crucial intelligence arrived, leaving Tang Ping dizzy and disoriented. Had he not maintained his state of perfect harmony with nature, he would likely have lost his composure on the spot.

After a short while, Tang Ping recovered from the shock of the memory, but he was already drenched in sweat.

"The Illusionary Realm is the real world, but the mortal world is just a temporary shelter. So this is the truth of the world... No, this is not the truth at all, but just the tip of the iceberg. Why does advancing to the fifth level cause the end of the world? What is creation? What will happen to the world if creation is successful? These are all questions worth exploring."

After obtaining part of the truth, even more questions arose. Tang Ping frowned, examined all the key pieces of information, and successfully found a breakthrough.

“Feng Yingying! She is also a ‘spirit child’ with a spirit status, and has reincarnated many times. Judging from her performance last week, she clearly knows a lot of behind-the-scenes information. As long as we can find her…”

Tang Ping's voice suddenly stopped because he realized something: he had never seen Feng Yingying this week, nor had he ever heard any information about her.

Of course, considering the confidential nature of the Psionic Administration Bureau, and the fact that he switched to the Jiangcheng Psionic Administration Bureau this week, it is normal that he lost the opportunity to contact her and did not know her. After all, Feng Yingying has always been low-key and does not show her face much.

However, based on information from her previous life, a terrifying conjecture surfaced in Tang Ping's mind.

"No! I can't waste any more time here. I need to go back and verify this as soon as possible."

Tang Ping immediately set off back to his residence, because the spirit that had been contacting him always appeared in the courtyard at its peak.

Before long, Tang Ping arrived at her "home," which she had lived in for almost a month and was already very familiar with. She then saw Yu Shujiang standing at the door, eagerly waiting for her.

"Brother, you're back! Did you get promoted?"

"..."

Looking at Yu Shujiang, who seemed to be waiting for her new husband to come home, memories of her previous life surfaced in her mind, and the image of the chubby little girl she had known since childhood resurfaced in her.

The two images correspond to two emotions; the sensibility attempts to merge into one, but the rationality refuses to accept it, ultimately leading to its collapse.

Already overwhelmed by a flood of memories, Tang Ping could no longer contain herself. Forced out of her state of perfect harmony with nature, her face contorted in pain, she knelt on the ground and cried out to the heavens:

"Do not--"

……

"A sin!"

Even the next morning, Tang Ping didn't know how to face Yu Shujiang. She couldn't get over it and could only make excuses.

You can't exactly tell the other person, "We were siblings in a past life, so we can't be together."

But since they are siblings in this life as well, this reason simply doesn't hold water.

A man and a woman, alone together, have had an open and honest conversation, and their memories suggest they are a couple. Therefore, during their time living together, they have done everything they should except for the final act. At this point, saying "I've always seen you as a sister" is tantamount to saying "I don't want to take responsibility," which is just too much of a scumbag.

Just as Tang Ping was struggling with her inner turmoil, the four-faced spirit creature reappeared, saying in an impatient tone, "I'm warning you, my patience is limited. I can't keep wasting time with you. If you continue to give me face..."

Tang Ping interrupted, "I have regained my memories. Thank you for your help. Please help me and Yu Shujiang get back."

"Huh? Oh, um... you've regained your memories?"

"It's back to normal."

The spirit creature gave a "Why didn't you do this sooner?" look, mixed with unvented emotions and a somewhat unsatisfied sigh, and said, "Alright, then listen carefully. Draw a pattern on the ground as I instruct you, then stand on the pattern and inject your spiritual power into it. When I activate my spiritual energy, the two sides will resonate and I can teleport you back."

"I understand, Your Excellency. Please give further instructions."

Following the other party's instructions, Tang Ping completed all the preparations, then summoned Yu Shujiang, whose memories had been corrected, and the two stood together on the magic circle.

As spiritual energy was injected, the surrounding space began to distort. Tang Ping felt as if she had used a magic stone to break through illusions, except that the sense of traversing was even stronger, and her sense of direction also became more confused.

In less than ten seconds, Tang Ping's sense of direction returned to normal. Although he was still stepping on the same pattern, he knew that he had returned to the Realm of Illusion.

"Finally back. I thought it would be a simple task that I could complete easily, but I didn't expect it to take so long. Convincing you was no easy task."

The person who started complaining was a beautiful woman who looked to be around thirty-five years old, yet she possessed a mysterious quality beyond her years, as if time both flowed and stood still around her. She wore a silver pendant around her neck, shaped somewhere between a key and a wing.

Her face was beautiful, with delicate and deep features. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like autumn water. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of languor and cunning. Occasionally, a strange golden light would flash in the depths of her pupils, like the reflection of some ancient wisdom, or like the faint light left by divinity. Her every move carried an elegant yet strange rhythm, both as reserved as an aristocrat and as wild as something indescribable.

With memories of her past life, Tang Ping immediately recognized the other person as Yang Tianhui, one of the five fourth-level psychic in the country, who possessed the spirit title "Cherish Angel," claimed to be a follower of the God Worshipping Society, and was nicknamed "Holy Maiden."

At the same time, he also figured out the origin of the image of that spiritual creature, which was the image of the cherubim in the Old Testament.

Don't be surprised. Those handsome men and beautiful women with halos, white wings, and divine energy are beautified images created by later generations according to the needs of the plot. Real angels are strangely shaped and make people lose all rationality at first glance.

"I am deeply grateful for your magnanimity in not taking offense at my abruptness."

Knowing that the other party had an eccentric personality, Tang Ping quickly flattered him, thus sealing the matter.

Yang Tianhui waved her hand and said, "I've been entrusted with this task, so there's no need to thank me. Someone has already paid me. You're in good shape and full of energy, just a little lacking in spirit, but you should be able to move around without any problems. I'll be going now."

She noticed that Yu Shujiang had lost an arm, but not wanting to get involved, she quickly made up an excuse and her body turned into a beam of holy light and disappeared.

Tang Ping shook his head helplessly, sighing inwardly at how wary the other party was. He then turned to Yu Shujiang and said, "Let's go. Let's figure out a way to make you grow an arm first."

"Ah."

Having her memories altered, Yu Shujiang did not object to it.

Tang Ping used a teleportation spell to return to the real world with Yu Shujiang. He then quickly contacted the Jiangcheng Spiritual Energy Management Bureau and Uncle Jiang to let them know that they were safe.

After entrusting Yu Shujiang to Uncle Jiang's care, Tang Ping went to the Administration Bureau without stopping, found Duan Jie in the Technical Department, and asked him to help find two people.

After two hours of searching, Duan Jie brought Tang Ping the bad news she expected.

“Feng Yingying and Feng Maimai drowned in 2010, and their mother Feng Lin committed suicide at home shortly afterward.”

Chapter 242 Formulating Future Policies

Although Tang Ping was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but feel disappointed upon seeing the result.

In their previous two lives, the Feng sisters were saved by Tang Ping's father, who paid the ultimate price for it.

In this life, Tang Ping and his son searched the world for martial arts masters, and their life trajectories changed dramatically. It was only natural that they missed the opportunity to save the sisters. Tang Ping was just hoping that the wind he created by flapping his wings would be stronger and blow away the chance for the Feng sisters to fall into the water.

In retrospect, his influence as a child was too weak, like a butterfly whose wings were too feeble to create a storm.

As for the suicide of the Feng sisters' mother, according to the police investigation results, there was nothing suspicious. It is perfectly normal for a single mother with a low income to choose to end her own life after both children died at the same time, given the heavy blow.

Tang Ping clicked the mouse and deleted the investigation documents that Duan Jie had obtained through illegal channels. She sighed and said, "In this way, I'm afraid I will never be able to get any information from her again, not even in the next life."

If there was some speculation about Feng Yingying's situation before, now that Tang Ping herself has been promoted to "spiritual child," she is particularly clear about the effects of the psychic "past life recall."

This psychic power can only grant access to memories of one's previous life, not those of the life before that, or even further back in time.

Tang Ping was able to obtain all the memories of the first and second playthroughs because his previous life was identified as him in the white space.

That's right, every time he dies, he is resurrected in a vast, pure white space. Even if he survives for no more than an hour, it is still considered as one lifetime.

In that space, Tang Ping will gain all his past memories, and thus, inheriting the memories of his previous life, he will also gain all of them.

Therefore, it can be inferred that Feng Yingying was able to retain the memories of multiple reincarnations because she possessed the memories of her previous life in her previous life, and in her previous life, she possessed the memories of her previous life. Through this layered inheritance, she obtained a lot of important information that ordinary people do not know.

However, Feng Yingying drowned before she could awaken as a psychic in this life, and was unable to inherit her previous memories. So even if she were to become a "spirit child" again in the next life and gain the psychic power of "past life recollection", she would at most gain the childhood memories before she drowned in this life - which would be completely useless.

"Now we're really out of ideas. We thought we could peek at the script, but in the end we have to figure it out ourselves."

Tang Ping couldn't help but sigh deeply.

After a while, he finally calmed down and pondered: There are still some doubts. Judging from Feng Yingying's words in the previous life, she has experienced many reincarnations, far more than I have. Could it be that she was saved by my father every time?

Most likely, before I transmigrated, she wouldn't have encountered the drowning crisis and could safely advance to the third level each time. It was only after I transmigrated that the timeline changed, and she encountered the drowning crisis. In the previous two lives, before I advanced to become a psionicist, her life experiences were completely the same, so her life didn't change.

Tang Ping felt this was the most likely possibility because, as a "spirit child," he knew that the spirit possessed a hidden benefit that did not manifest as psychic energy.

If he continues to choose the novice monk lineage in his future reincarnation, his cultivation will be twice as effective, and the difficulty of advancing to the third level is no different from that of advancing to the second level. This is the reason why Feng Yingying can advance to the "spirit child" level in every life - unless she dies before that.

"The key to reincarnated spiritual children lies in the reincarnation itself; none of them possess any decent spiritual energy, making them a disgrace to the third reincarnation."

Of course, for Tang Ping, her past life memories are the most precious thing, far more valuable than powerful psychic energy.

"I can't waste any more of my life. Even if Gu Linglong doesn't create a new world, based on the time limit of the first cycle of the apocalypse, there are only six years left. I don't expect to be able to stop the apocalypse from coming in this life, but I must at least dig out more information, know the reason for the apocalypse, and prepare for the next life."

Tang Ping took out a piece of paper and started organizing her plan from the beginning.

The saying goes, "Consider defeat before victory." He had to consider how to give himself more leverage in the next life if he failed to prevent the apocalypse in this one.

He first wrote down two lines: "Inherit the abilities of your lover" and "Unlock achievements to gain enhancement points." Then he drew a line below the former and wrote "Spirit Child."

"For me, nothing is more important than inheriting memories, so it would be best to obtain the spiritual power 'Past Life Recollection'. However, my cheat ability does not allow me to inherit my own spiritual power, but only the abilities of the person I am trying to conquer. Therefore, it would be best to find someone with the 'Spirit Child' spirit and become her lover."

Thinking of this, Tang Ping immediately thought of Yu Shujiang, and a conflicted and pained expression appeared on her face again.

Suppressing the urge to cry out "What a terrible thing!", he forced himself to abandon his emotions and think about the problem only from a rational perspective.

"This goal is difficult to achieve. The number of third-level spiritualists is already small, and there may not be a second spiritual child besides Feng Yingying. Even if there is a second spiritual child, the other party may not be female. Even if the other party is female, she may be married with children and have established a family. Even if the other party is an unmarried girl of marriageable age, it is not necessarily possible to pursue her. Buddhist spiritualists are influenced by their spiritual personality and are mostly pure of heart and have few desires, and do not attach much importance to romantic love."

This conclusion was drawn by Tang Ping based on her personal experience and comparisons.

In his previous life, he was quite proactive in pursuing Yuan Ji. In this life, he has met many outstanding women, but he has never had the thought of pursuing them. If his memories had not been altered in Peach Blossom Village, he would probably have remained single until one day he was forcibly taken by someone.

Furthermore, considering that "spirit children" have relatively weak combat psychic abilities, psychics with this spiritual rank are likely to be very low-key, quite different from the outward-facing style of Ling Chong and Fu Zhengyi, and will try their best to conceal their information.

In her previous life, Feng Yingying was just like this, to the point that even her own sister, Feng Maimai, didn't know what kind of spiritual power she possessed. She only knew that she was good at divination. As for outsiders, it goes without saying that they probably had never even heard of her.

After careful analysis, Tang Ping drew a question mark next to "spirit child".
