[Mo Dao Zu Shi Fanfiction] I Raise A Ying in Yiling

Chapter 181 Previous Life 3

"No wonder the progress of the Reverse Fate update has been stuck at 4.99% and hasn't moved!"

"Ha!" Wei Chaoyan sneered repeatedly.

"001, tell me honestly, is the world I'm in now a parallel world after the finale and the time travel? Is Qi Ye also the Seven Nights Demon Lord who went mad after experiencing everything and died by Ning Caichen's arrow?"

“Just as the anchor thought.” 001 remained unaffected by the resentment overflowing in Wei Chaoyan’s tone and replied mechanically and indifferently.

“…Heh!” Wei Chaoyan remained silent for a long time before awkwardly pursing her lips and coldly uttering a meaningless syllable.

"so……"

"Because all three of them have experienced everything, although they currently have no memories of the past, all the resentment, bitterness, despair, and incomprehension they felt before are deeply imprinted in their souls, turning into a series of knots."

"Cultivating the Dao has always emphasized a clear mind and a harmonious Dao heart, seeking to see through the entanglements of the mortal world. Now that they have embarked on the path of cultivation again, those knots etched into their souls have naturally transformed into mental tribulations and obsessions. Only by seeing through them one by one can they let go and sever all kinds of karmic entanglements."

"Therefore, since they no longer have the memory to start over, they need to know all their past dreams in order to face their inner demons and then, in their subsequent cultivation, to see through, reshape, and refine their Dao heart."

"On the other hand, it is because the world also comes from the past. Unless there are major external changes, the rolling wheels of fate will continue to travel firmly along the deep tracks crushed in the past, retracing the old path."

Furthermore, due to the influence of past life's trajectory, changing one's current life trajectory is extremely difficult, making it several times more difficult than ascending to heaven; the self-repairing ability of one's destiny trajectory has been enhanced.

"I see. No wonder you kept emphasizing 'small things can change, but the big picture cannot be altered' before." Wei Chaoyan exclaimed in sudden realization.

"In that case, no matter how I try to make them avoid it, their past will eventually come back to them in another way, won't it?"

"Yes," 001 affirmed.

"There's no need to reveal Qi Ye's past, since he's already left his original world. Could it be that the world of A Chinese Ghost Story in the Tang Dynasty will connect with the current world in the near future? Or will Qi Ye return to the Tang Dynasty by chance in the future?" Wei Chaoyan speculated anxiously.

“No.” 001 categorically denied Wei Chaoyan’s unreliable guess. “It’s not because of what you guessed, but because the Demon Lord who has returned needs to face his past failures in order to overcome them one by one on his journey ahead and fulfill his long-cherished wish.”

"In my past life, I wished to achieve peaceful coexistence between the human and demon realms. In this life, I am reforming the demonic world, changing the current situation where powerful families are high and mighty but inactive, evil spirits abound, and the people are suffering in misery, and promoting the modernization of the world."

"???"

“It’s not just Qiye who has such lofty ambitions; your other three younger brothers also share the same aspirations,” 001 added, emphasizing.

Why does this target sound so familiar?

Wei Chaoyan's inner voice slumped to the ground, her face full of black lines as she frantically searched through the mountain of memories piled up in her mind. After a long while, she finally recalled the ambitious goals she had set when she first obtained the system. Wasn't this exactly the same as A Ying's and the others' goals?!

Having figured it out, Wei Chaoyan immediately dismissed her grudges and readily accepted 001's suggestion. She quickly sent a private message to Liu Yu, asking her to reorganize and summarize the plot information of the two worlds as soon as possible and send it to her again.

Her thoughts wandered for only a moment before returning to their original focus. Wei Chaoyan used 001's words to answer Qi Ye's question: "Put another version of yourself in front of you to calmly and rationally examine 'his' character flaws and the reasons for his utter defeat from an outsider's perspective. Then, learn from the lessons, correct your mistakes, and never repeat them."

"Aying and Azhan are for the same reason." Wei Chaoyan avoided the main point and vaguely referred to the concept that what they held in their hands was not a fate that had not yet happened, but a past life that had already been experienced, and simply pretended that this was a future of a parallel world that was foreshadowing for them.

Qi Ye's eyes flickered slightly. He quickly looked up and exchanged a glance with Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, then understood and looked away. He pretended not to have noticed Wei Chaoyan's clumsy attempt to conceal her words, and calmly nodded to accept her explanation.

After lowering his eyes and pondering for a moment, Qi Ye finally gave his serious evaluation.
