"Now the Jade Toad has been shrunk to an extremely small size by the Guardian Array, which can avoid the calamity of filth, but it cannot escape the collapse of the Heavenly Dao caused by the annihilation calamity."

"The filth itself is structurally incapable of eroding the Jade Toad, but the Annihilation Disaster is unaffected by it. It is unrelated to concepts such as size, distance, emptiness, and density. As long as something exists, it will become something between nothingness and chaos under its influence."

"..."

Xi Heng subconsciously thought: Maybe it really is time to reload the save file.

If this calamity, which is on a level far greater than ours, were to occur, the world would be practically doomed.

"Do you need any help? Although the Jade Toad Realm is vast, my space here should be able to accommodate a small portion of it," she said shamelessly.

Upon hearing this, Yueyi simply covered her lips and chuckled softly.

"I have already asked the Yuanfeng clan to help protect the Jade Toad. They and the True Dragon have ancient methods of avoiding disaster, and they have not been involved in much karma, so they can avoid this calamity."

"Oh...that's good." Xi Heng didn't want to see the Jade Toad Realm fall into annihilation.

"Unfortunately, the karma I have entangled with with several other high-level cultivators is too great, and I must face this calamity head-on." The other party shook his head.

"Eh?"

"You can avoid everything in the world except cause and effect." Yueyi gently patted Xiheng's shoulder and said, "Now that the Jade Toad Realm can no longer accommodate cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm, it's about time you went back."

"Necessary to face?" Xi Heng still didn't understand the weight of the words "cause and effect," and said a few more words.

"It is absolutely necessary; even if there is a way out, we must not take this path, otherwise it will only lead to more serious consequences," the other party said.

"We must engage in a decisive battle, carrying with us our own karma and that of the realm, to save even a tiny bit of life for the many beings below."

The white-haired girl still didn't quite understand and remained silent for a moment.

“If you survive this calamity, you will understand this in the future.” Yueyi said simply, “In short, the end of the world is coming, it’s time for you to leave this place, little girl.”

Xi Heng did not agree. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Can this clone of mine accompany you to face the Annihilation Calamity?"

"That's meaningless. I want to advance to the level of a half-immortal and try to fight it out." The other party shook his head with a slight smile: "When you clash with the Heavenly Dao along the way, you will forget everything about me."

“I will try my best not to forget,” the white-haired girl said.

"That's not up to anyone to decide." The person in front of me covered their lips and smiled faintly, their figure already fading away: "Perhaps, we'll have the chance to meet again sometime."

The other party made a farewell gesture and instantly turned into silver light and disappeared on the spot.

"..."

"They walk so fast."

Xi Heng had just raised his hand, but before he could wave goodbye, he was still standing there.

Even after the other party left, the surrounding area remained lively.

Crowds surrounded me, while fireworks bloomed in the distance.

The fragments she had just experienced seemed completely out of place with the scene before her, and she hoped that she had just been hallucinating.

But the sensation on her shoulder lingered, and Yueyi's appearance in her memory remained crystal clear.

On the street ahead, lanterns were arranged in an orderly fashion on both sides, and the atmosphere remained strong even after several days.

Xi Heng moved his feet and silently entered the crowd once more, thinking to himself:

Yueyi said that she would ascend to the level of a half-immortal in an attempt to combat the newborn calamity.

However, it was clear from their tone that they lacked confidence in winning.

"The realm of half-immortals is no match for the final great calamity," Xi Heng thought. "Even true immortals who have achieved immortality by consuming elixirs may not be able to withstand it."

The demigod who had previously passed through the celestial realm vanished while battling the calamity, and there has been no news of him since.

And the true immortal who might exist was nowhere to be seen from beginning to end.

I don't know if it has already gone to other places, or if it is still hidden somewhere.

If that true immortal could easily resolve these cataclysmic disasters and other calamities caused by Him, there would be no such thing as the end of the world.

"However, it's also possible that He has already done something, but my cultivation level is too low to detect it at all."

"The more I think about it, the more I realize that there are so many things I need to figure out after reloading my save file."

Xi Heng shifted his consciousness to his physical body and pressed his temples.

"How can calamities be truly eradicated? Where exactly are the true immortals? What is the attitude of the celestial palaces outside? Was the void blockade actually established by them? And how can we overcome the blockade...? Also, what exactly happened a thousand years ago?"

She also tried to use the power of time to glimpse scenes from a thousand years ago.

Logically speaking, given her cultivation level and magical abilities, she should have no problem seeing events from a thousand years ago.

But whenever time truly begins to rewind, and the time of collapse approaches,

Suddenly, a high wall appeared in front of them, forcing the spell to come to a standstill.

No matter what method is used, or how many dragon-patterned characters are drawn, it is impossible to truly glimpse the world before the collapse of the heavens.

Not to mention, the so-called true immortals who have long been forgotten by the world.

"I can only slowly search for the traces left by the true immortals in the world..." Xi Heng muttered to himself.

"In truth, the idea of ​​a True Immortal is merely a conjecture by Yueyi. Perhaps that person stole the elixir but didn't consume it, or perhaps they failed to ascend back then..."

This might explain why calamities can expand so recklessly without any intervention from the immortals.

"But I can't figure it out by guessing, so I'll call back my clone and prepare to load the save file."

The external situation has deteriorated to this point, and there is no point in staying at this time any longer.

At most, we'll try to observe how Yueyi advances to become a half-immortal and see if she can stop the annihilation.

However, Xi Heng currently has no way to navigate through the calamity-filled void.

Since that's the case, we might as well just leave.

She shifted her attention to the clone.

Just as he was about to use the White Flame spell to recall his clone, a lazy voice suddenly reached his ears:

"I want a Coke." The voice sounded like it was her own.

Xi Heng subconsciously manipulated his clone to turn his head, only to see lanterns flashing, boats moving slowly, and empty space all around him.

When consciousness returned to its original body, it was then that it saw a girl with loose black hair, dressed casually in modern clothes, standing beside it.

Its appearance is almost identical to her own.

It was only because of his demeanor and attire that he exuded a sense of simplicity and laziness.

"Inner demons...?" She was stunned for a moment.

The other person turned their gaze, their dark gray eyes meeting Xi Heng's.

He repeated the same sentence he had just said:

"I want to drink Coke."

……

Volume 1: Chapter 406, Tracing the Origins and Unveiling the Truth

A girl with ordinary brown-black hair, a face that looked exactly like her own twin, and dressed in simple brown-black modern clothes quietly sat down on a chair next to her.

Xi Heng had met this person many times.

The most memorable time was during a tribulation-crossing advancement period.

The woman before me looked remarkably like myself when I had black hair; she was the very same inner demon that had haunted me in my mental space, making me watch all sorts of movies for a year.

But why did the inner demon, which wasn't in her heart, suddenly appear in reality? This truly puzzled her.

The place where my true self is currently located is definitely not some kind of illusion created by inner demons.

"..." Xi Heng looked at the other person and fell silent for a moment.

The other person, however, merely cast a lazy glance at her and asked:

"Is there Coke available at this time of year? How effective is the counterfeit version?"

"Cola?"

"When it comes to cola, if the recipe ratio or the production method is slightly different, the taste will be completely different. I hope the cola you make here will be similar to what we remember."

The man rested his arm on the table, propped his chin on his hand, and spoke in a lazy tone.

This natural posture is also the way Xi Heng unconsciously poses when he's feeling lazy.

"..."

As the white-haired girl on the other side remained silent, the entire space fell into stillness.

The lazy girl stared at him for five seconds, then said in a flat voice, "You haven't invented Coca-Cola yet, have you?"

"Who are you?" Xi Heng finally spoke.

"If you don't have cola, orange juice will do, but it has to be ice-cold and quite sweet, preferably with some bubbles." The other person held up another finger to make another request.

Xi Heng sighed, completely bewildered by the current situation.

"No, no, you're clearly a demon in your heart, aren't you? How did you suddenly appear in reality?"

The timing was right before I was about to load the save file... This kind of thing is obviously very problematic.

"Oh dear... how come we still haven't invented Coca-Cola after all these centuries?" The other person, however, seemed to be in another world, and changed the subject.

As she finished speaking, she pouted as if she had been wronged.

Then, he conjured up an orange out of thin air, peeled it, broke off a segment, and popped it into his mouth.

"I can only eat these little things now, it's not nice." She pouted and swallowed it in one gulp.

Juice overflows from the mouth and tongue during biting, with a little spilling at the corners of the mouth, only to be licked back into the nest by the tip of the tongue.

"What exactly are you here for?" After the ordeal of those ten seconds, Xi Heng managed to regain some composure and tried to face the situation calmly.

"I have something to tell you," Miss Heart Demon finally replied normally.

"I don't think I should listen to what the inner demons say at all."

Xi Heng felt that reloading the save file immediately was the best option.

“I’m not a demon in my heart.” The other person yawned and explained for the first time the question that Xi Heng had asked many times back then but never received an answer to.

His natural gray-brown eyes contrasted with Xi Heng's pale red pupils as he slowly opened his mouth in a relaxed tone:

"I am, the Three Corpses."

“…Three Corpses?” Xi Heng searched his memory and only remembered seeing these two words in a few ancient books about becoming an immortal and the Great Dao.

However, most of those books only briefly mention this term and do not really explain what it means.

"To be precise, it is one of the immortal corpses."

The black-haired girl held up a finger and shook it: "After we swallowed the elixir, we split into three immortal corpses. Those who advance must sever these three corpses in order to successfully ascend to immortality."

"what are you saying……"

Xi Heng felt that the topic had gone too far.

They had just been talking about inner demons, but now they were immediately discussing elixirs, which made it difficult for her to understand.

"I don't want to explain this troublesome thing either. I'd rather have some Coke and fries and leave, but I still have to do what needs to be done. Sigh, why do I have to be the one to explain..." The other person started to worry first.

Then, pressing his temples, he slowly began to speak:

"Don't you already know about elixirs and the Five-Headed Roar?"

"Probably?" Xi Heng replied vaguely.

"You know there might be a true immortal in the world, right?" the black-haired girl said again.

"almost."

"Actually, no." She tapped the table lightly with her finger. "At least not right now."

“…” Xi Heng tilted his head.

"Or rather, the so-called True Immortal is still in the process of advancement and has not yet succeeded." The other party said slowly, "She is stuck at the step of severing the three corpses. Since she has not been able to sever them, she has not been able to ascend to become an immortal."

The white-haired girl appeared to be listening, but inwardly she was thinking—what is all this about?

Is her inner demon deceiving her?
