In the secret territory of the Cold Bone Ruins.
Wen Tian looked down at Ye Zhen, whose eyelashes were trembling. He knew that she was about to wake up.
She had always resisted the dream he gave her. She didn't want to remember the memories of the ancient times. It should be said that she didn't want to remember his existence.
"Xiao Yao, I know you can hear me." Wen Tian said in a low voice, "I let you in, not to force you to do anything, but the past of the ancient times is very important to you, and it is also very important to me. There are some things I must explain to Xiao Yao."
It was to explain to Xiao Yao, not Ye Zhen, so she must remember the past.
"I don't really want to drive you away," Wen Tian said in a low voice. Wen Tian said in a low voice, "When you married Mo Rongzhan, I wanted to go to the Nine Heavens to find you …"
Ye Zhen had planned to continue pretending to be asleep, but when she heard this, she couldn't pretend anymore.
She recalled all the memories about Xiaoyao and Wen Tian, including the past of Xiaoyao and the Young Emperor. It was as if she had experienced it all again. She recalled it bit by bit. The strange thing was that she was able to accept these memories and the past with a calm heart.
"Xiao Yao …" Wen Tian held her hand. "I'm sorry."
He wanted to say these words to her in the ancient times, but he had never said it. Some things, once missed, would be forever. He didn't know if it was too late to say it now, but at least he had to let her know.
Ye Zhen opened her dark and bright eyes, just in time to meet Wen Tian's dark green eyes.
Wen Tian looked at her as if he saw a star in her eyes. These were Xiao Yao's eyes. Sure enough, she had remembered everything.
"When can we leave here?" Ye Zhen hesitated for a long time before asking.
"…" Wen Tian didn't expect that after being separated from him for tens of thousands of years, Ye Zhen's first sentence was to ask him when he would leave here. Didn't she have anything else to ask him? After so many things had happened, didn't she have anything else to say?
Ye Zhen slowly sat up and moved her hands and feet. Very good, there was no discomfort. Except for the gloomy surroundings, which she didn't like very much sunlight, she was still able to adapt to the surrounding environment.
She knew that this was not the human world. They entered the Cold Bone Ruins from Guan Jie's heart.
Before recovering Xiaoyao's memory, she had never heard of the Cold Bone Ruins. But now, she knew that this was Wen Tian's world, the place where he had cultivated for almost 20,000 years. Probably even the Nine Heavens God could not enter or leave the Cold Bone Ruins.
In the past, many demonic beasts wished to make a trip to the Cold Bone Ruins because there were countless treasures and secret manuals here. If they were not careful, they might have a fortuitous encounter.
Xiaoyao used to want to come in, but Wen Tian never agreed.
"Let's find the exit first." Wen Tian looked down at Ye Zhen, not knowing how to continue.
"Do you still need to find an exit?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows. "This is your place. Isn't it up to you to decide where the exit is?"
Wen Tian looked at her. "I thought you didn't remember."
"I remember." Ye Zhen said seriously, looking back at him honestly. "So what?"
"You're still blaming me?" Wen Tian looked straight into her eyes. She had never looked at him with such indifferent eyes. The girl in front of him was both Xiaoyao and not Xiaoyao at the same time.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. She was not blaming Wen Tian, she just felt sorry for Xiaoyao.
Yes, she empathized with Xiaoyao's experience. She clearly knew Xiaoyao's infatuation with Wen Tian. It was Wen Tian who gradually cooled her heart.
"Blame you for what?" Ye Zhen asked. "Wen Tian, I am not Xiaoyao. You know it very well."
"But you are Xiaoyao." Wen Tian smiled bitterly. He knew that reincarnation would be different, but she had all the memories of Xiaoyao. She was Xiaoyao.
Ye Zhen looked at him faintly. "You brought me to the Cold Bone Ruins. Apart from reminding me of Xiaoyao's past, what else is it for?"
"Bai Yi and I … That was just an illusion." Wen Tian whispered, his dark green eyes reluctant to move away from Ye Zhen's face. They had been separated for thousands of years. Now that they finally met, it seemed that things were different.
It was completely different from what he imagined. She was no longer the Xiaoyao who had been thinking about him.
Ye Zhen nodded. "I know."
In the past, Xiaoyao didn't know, but now she knew that Bai Yi had tricked her with an illusion.
Without waiting for Wen Tian to speak, Ye Zhen said, "Before you and the Young Emperor fought, I saw you being killed by the Young Emperor. That was also Bai Yi's illusion. Did you ask her to do that?"
Because she saw the illusion and heard the Grand Emperor's secret order to let Wen Tian and the Young Emperor kill each other in the battle, he would appear at the last moment to save the world. At that time, she knew that once Wen Tian and the Young Emperor fought, the Grand Emperor would be the one to win. The two most important men to Xiaoyao would be plotted against and even killed.
Therefore, she did everything she could to stop them from fighting. However, because she was attacked by Wen Tian and the Young Emperor at the same time, her body and soul were destroyed. She almost couldn't reincarnate.
"I did that in hopes that you wouldn't appear …" Wen Tian whispered. When he found out that Xiaoyao married Mo Rongzhan, he almost lost his mind. At that time, he didn't know what he would do.
"Ah Tian," Ye Zhen said softly. "Xiaoyao, who loved you and lost herself, has been chased away and killed by you. Even if you lock me in the Cold Bone Ruins for the rest of my life, she won't come back."
Wen Tian closed his eyes, not wanting to listen to these words.
He reached out and held Ye Zhen's wrist. "I would rather have my primordial spirit extracted to seal myself in the Cold Bone Ruins. Do you think I want revenge?"
Ye Zhen wanted to pull her hand out, but she felt Wen Tian increase his strength.
"Xiaoyao, I want you to come back," Wen Tian said softly. "You can't abandon me. When I first entered the world, you were the one who picked me up. You can't … abandon me."
"You were the one who abandoned me first." Ye Zhen's heart suddenly ached. She could have faced it calmly, but after hearing Wen Tian's words, she still felt sad for herself.
If Wen Tian had said these words ten thousand years ago, perhaps the ending could have been changed.
Wen Tian said, "I was wrong, and I regret it."
Tears welled up in Ye Zhen's eyes. Actually, she didn't know why she was crying. She always felt that Xiaoyao was someone from the past and had nothing to do with her.
"Let me go!"
"I don't want to let you go again." Wen Tian whispered, "Xiaoyao, can you come back?"
Ye Zhen shook her head. "Ah Tian, all I can think about right now is Mo Rongzhan. He used his own life to exchange for the chance for my reincarnation. I saw him with my own eyes … looking for my soul in the Undead Realm. He searched for it for thousands of years …"
