"Thank you, Sister Xiao."

She Xilu carefully took the wooden box handed over by Xiao Sui, opened it and looked at it, and asked in her heart: "Youchan, how should you eat it?"

"No need to eat." Youchan said in her mind: "You can just touch it yourself. During the ancient great catastrophe, there were mortals who had just come into contact with practice. After accidentally touching the fruit of time, they instantly arrived at the end of their destiny, and instantly ascended from mortals to Taiyi Realm."

She Xilu put the wooden box on her knees and slowly touched the strange fruit that looked like a baby but was illusory and hazy with her fingertips.

The moment her fingertips touched the surface of the fruit, the mysterious power inside the fruit seemed to have found a pouring mouth, flowing out along her fingertips, instantly covering her.

"boom!"

In a trance, the world in front of her became blurred until it disappeared, and time seemed to stop.

Then, an endless river appeared before her.

This long river flows forward and rushes forever, as if it leads to an endless distant place. The river water is either turbulent or gentle, and she is standing in this long river.

"This is……"

She Xilu murmured.

In this illusory world where she is still, with her position as the node, the long river behind her is like solidified stagnant water. If you look closely, you can actually see countless hers from the river, seventeen, sixteen, and even her who was just born.

In front of the river, it seems to be a rushing river, but when you look closely, it is actually composed of countless illusory and hazy river tributaries. These tributaries are either thick or thin. Each tributary can see the different future, and it is constantly forked in countless subtle places, intertwining an infinite future.

"This is the long river of time, and it is also part of the long river of destiny."

Youchan's voice sounded in her mind: "You and I were the Demon Ancestors in the past life, and were not in the long river of fate, so when I look back, I can only see the birth of this life at most, and the future is the most changeable and has not yet been determined, so there are many illusory tributaries that have not yet become reality, and the largest tributaries are the future with the greatest possibility."

She paused and said, "Of course... this long river of time can only see your own future."

Upon hearing this, She Xilu couldn't help but look at the largest tributary of the river.

It can be seen that the future herself has not changed much from the present, but as time goes forward, the pressure she exudes in the future has become more and more powerful, and in the end the pressure is so strong that it can accommodate the long river of time.

"What will happen to the future if you ascend?"

This curious thought flashed through She Xilu's heart, and then she looked at one of the thinner tributaries with some sense.

In this tributary of time, she was seen as she ascended to heaven with a ray of light, but looking back along the river, she saw a look full of shock and disbelief, and then... it was pitch black!

And this tributary of time actually stopped flowing!

"Why is there no future after ascension?"

She Xilu couldn't help but be stunned.

"That means you have turned into nothingness." Youchan said in a low voice: "No wonder Lin Zhishui told you not to ascend. It seems that he had known the future after you ascend."

"But... why?" She Xilu couldn't help asking, "Is it because the Demon Ancestor ambushed me as soon as I ascend to heaven?"

"impossible."

Youchan directly rejected: "The heaven is the territory of the heavenly way. If the powerful heavenly power knows that you want to ascend, you will definitely protect you. If the demon ancestor enters the heavenly power, it is impossible for the powerful heavenly power to know. They will definitely be prepared in advance. Since the heretics have disappeared even Yuanchu and the powerful heavenly power has already gained an advantage, how can they not protect you?"

"What's going on?" She Xilu said in confusion: "And don't you say that the powerful power of heaven and the Demon Ancestor are not in the long river of fate? The future displayed by this tributary has nothing to do with the Demon Ancestor, right?"

"You must understand that this long river of fate is actually the 'memory' of the fate of the three realms. The Demon Ancestor, the powerful power of the Heavenly Dao, is too great, so it will not be recorded in it by the Three Realms."

Youchan said: "But not recording does not mean that it will not affect the long river of fate. Any living creature in the three realms, as long as it exists, will affect the direction of the long river of fate. Even Taichu Pangu, who opened up the three realms, is the same. It's just that such a great existence cannot be recorded at all."

She Xilu suddenly realized and asked again: "Then why would I die if I ascend?"

"It's not death." Youchan said in a low voice: "It's transforming into nothingness, and even the soul is gone, so that it will completely cut off the current. Otherwise, even if you return to the embrace of 'it', you can still see you when you return."

She Xilu was slightly stunned and said in confusion: "You said that only external demons can truly turn external demons into nothingness, right? We were the Demon Ancestor in our previous life, and only the Demon Ancestor can annihilate our souls... That must be the Demon Ancestor."

Youchan was silent for a moment and said, "It is true, but... the Heavenly Dao side protects you so much, and the powerful powers of the Heavenly Dao side are stronger than those of the heretics. After you ascend to heaven, how could there be a demon ancestor who can kill you under the protection of the Heavenly Dao power?"

"Is it 'it'?" She Xilu had a sudden whim.

"How is it possible..."

Youchan was a little speechless and said, "In the eyes of 'it', we are reincarnated into the direction of heaven, just like children running away from home. And we were originally created by 'it'. There are so many ways to punish us. How can we directly annihilate our souls?"

"Oh..." She Xilu said: "Who else can kill us?"

Youchan pondered for a moment and said, "Well... From the long river of time, you in the future turned into nothingness, you seem to have seen something incredible..."

"Is it shocking that the identity of the murderer?" She Xilu asked.

"Well...the murderer..."

Youchan was silent for a while and said, "If you can still kill us under the protection of the powerful power of heaven..."

She whispered: "Then it's only Yuanchu. If Yuanchu did not disappear, nothing happened. With Yuanchu's strength, even if the powerful people of the Heavenly Dao protect us, he could forcefully kill us."

She Xilu was stunned and said, "Didn't you say that Yuan Chu and you are good friends, do you have a good relationship? Do you still owe you a favor?"

She still remembered that Youchan said that the Demon Ancestor has endless power and an immortal demon body. No matter how powerful the powerful heavenly power is, it cannot kill the Demon Ancestor. At most, it will be enough to sleep or seal it, but it is impossible to "death" and commit suicide.

And there is only a situation where the Demon Ancestors are "strong and weak".

The Youchan Demon Ancestor in his previous life guarded the Yuanchu Demon Well alone, and was the strongest Demon Ancestor under Yuanchu. In the end, it was because Yuanchu owed her a favor and refined some kind of weapon to kill her with a sharp edge, allowing her to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

“The relationship is really good…”

Youchan said nodded, and said helplessly: "But in fact... I don't know why Yuan Chu owe us favors."

"You don't know?" She Xilu said in confusion.

"I don't know." Youchan sighed and said, "It was the first time he saw us. He said he once owe us a favor, but it was obviously the first time we met him."

"Previous life?" She Xilu said in confusion.

"In the past life...we were the demon ancestors created by 'it's', where did we come from the past life?"

Youchan sighed and said, "Unless it means before we became external demons, because 'it' does not seem to create souls out of thin air, but uses the souls of creatures in the three realms to create external demons. Perhaps Yuan Chu knew us before he became external demons, but he refused to say that, but it has always been good to us."

"It sounds like a good man... Well, I can't tell Lin Zhishui what if he is jealous..."

She Xilu blinked and asked, "Since Yuanchu has a good relationship with us, how could we be killed by him in the future?"

"I don't think it's him, either." Youchan said, "And from what Nuwa meant, he seemed to have disappeared... I don't know where he went."

"Who else can kill us?" She Xilu said in confusion.

"No, only the Demon Ancestor can truly turn us into nothingness. No matter how powerful the heavenly power is, it cannot destroy the demonic consciousness..."

When Youchan said this, she was suddenly stunned and said in a deep voice: "No... I thought of a possibility that even if I am not the Demon Ancestor, I can kill us."

"It's okay if it's not the Demon Ancestor?" She Xilu was stunned.

The external demons, from the small external demons and beasts, to the supreme demon ancestors, unless it is an internal fight between the external demons, the worst case is that the soul is destroyed, but the demon consciousness will still return to the embrace of "it", and the powerful power of the heavenly way is helpless.

Even the powerful power of the heavenly way cannot allow a fifth-class external demon beast to return to nothingness.

This is the rule of ‘it’.

"For example...we ourselves." Youchan said softly.

"Suicide?" She Xilu said in surprise.

"Stupid, who can kill himself and even destroy his magic consciousness?"

Youchan cursed speechlessly and said helplessly: "What I mean is that the reincarnation of the demon ancestors like us also have demon consciousness. As long as the soul is strong enough, it can annihilate the demon consciousness and completely kill external demons. If... there is a powerful heavenly power that is reincarnated by the reincarnation of the external demon, it can completely kill us, and even the demon consciousness cannot return."

She Xilu murmured: "The powerful power of heavenly devils who have been reincarnated and cultivated?"

"Yes." Youchan said: "The power of heavenly way has the protection and blessing of heavenly way in the heavenly realm, and can easily discover the Demon Ancestor, so it is very simple to resist the Demon Ancestor, but... it cannot prevent the custody and stealing himself."

"Why?" She Xilu asked in confusion: "Since we have all got rid of 'it' and are the same as us, why should we kill us?"

"It's getting rid of 'it', but not all demon ancestors are like us."

Youchan said: "When 'it' creates the external demon, the external demon is instilled with the shackles of 'it', and the human world can get rid of the shackles of 'it'. When we are created, the shackles of shackles are not tight, so we desire freedom more, and Yuanchu is more free, so we can become friends with Yuanchu."

She whispered: "But other demon ancestors are not like this. Most of the other demon ancestors follow the will of ‘it’ from the heart and are willing to become slaves of ‘it’. Therefore, the demon ancestors are called the powerful power to serve ‘it’.”

"Shackles..." She Xilu suddenly realized.

"We can't tolerate ourselves becoming slaves, and 'it' continues to force us, so we ask Yuan Chu to kill us and give up all the samsara and return to the world." Youchan sighed.

She Xilu was silent for a moment and asked, "The Heavenly Power of the Reincarnated Demon Ancestor is going to kill us, who will it be?"

"If there is such a powerful heavenly power who is reincarnated by the Demon Ancestor, he must be a traitor from the Heavenly Way."

Youchan said in a low voice: "After the ancient catastrophe, there are some sleeping demon ancestors, but I don't know where they are sleeping. They may have been killed by the top demon ancestors and reincarnated into the Heavenly Dao camp. I now have a few people who are suspicious, but I am not sure."

She Xilu thought about it and suddenly said, "Bai Yueyao?"

She remembered that when she just joined the Taiyin Tianyuan Taoist dynasty, Lin Zhishui specifically instructed her to listen to Xiao Sui more, saying that the Taoist dynasty where Xiao Sui was located was a pool of muddy water, so she should not go too deep.

Youchan also said that the current Queen Mother of the West, "Bai Yueyao", is not the first Queen Mother of the West, but is replaced, but is stronger than the first Queen Mother of the West. It must be a secret that has never been revealed before.

"Yes, Bai Yueyao."

Youchan said in a low voice: "I have had a few fights with her, but she always avoids the battle and leaves lightly. She never wants to fight with me. I didn't understand it very much before... Now I have realized that she may be the reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor, but she is not sure and there is no evidence."

"No evidence?" She Xilu said in confusion: "Don't the other powerful people on the Tiandao side know?"

"She showed up too early..."

Youchan sighed and said, "Before the ancient catastrophe, the original Queen Mother of the West, fell. She emerged from nowhere and directly replaced the first Queen Mother of the West. At that time, even the Dharma body path had not been formed. How could other powerful people in the heavenly way know? I'm afraid that even the first Queen Mother of the West might not be sure that Bai Yueyao was the reincarnation of an external demon."
