Looking at the snow-white claw in front of her, the fury in Zhu Yao's heart, instantly disappeared completely.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation in her heart.
She knew that her emotions were not right. Her anger towards Bai Yuan was mostly just to vent her anger. Her master had fainted, the resentment in little wimp's body had not been dispelled, and he had even fallen into this damned place with his cultivation completely destroyed. Under such circumstances, not to mention having a good temper, she was so irritable that she wanted to kill someone, alright?
Therefore, even though she knew that Bai Yuan had no ill intentions towards her, she still couldn't control her anger. Moreover, it was it that had pushed her down.
"I'm sorry!" Zhu Yao sighed, and reached out her hand to pat on its beast head. "Bai Yuan, let's talk about life."
"Oh?" It looked at her with its big watery eyes, then at its paws.
"Claw Claw?"
"I'm not going to pull it out." It was already like this, how could she still pull it out?
Its misty eyes became clearer. It put down its claws and carefully squatted next to her.
Where should I start? "Why do you keep following me?"
Bai Yuan stepped on his front paws a little helplessly, and said with a stutter. "I … I like Yao Yao. I said before … friends … must be." Its huge head drooped lower and lower, and it looked a little bashful. Zhu Yao was actually able to see a hint of shyness and timidity on that furry face. She must be blind!
"Then why did you push me off?" What kind of friend are you?
It replied very quickly, "Because I have to take you to see it."
"Look?" Zhu Yao blanked. "Look at what?"
Bai Yuan stood up with a whoosh and ran a few steps towards the left. Then, he eagerly ran back. "Let's go take a look, let's go take a look …"
"Wait a minute." Zhu Yao followed. "What are you bringing me to see?"
"Yao Yao, come … Come quickly, it's right in front." Apparently, it already had this plan. It jumped and jumped excitedly, leading the way in front. "Look, look …"
"What are you looking at?" A thought flashed in Zhu Yao's mind. "You've been here before?"
"Roar ~ ~ ~" It nodded its head.
"Then do you know the way out?"
"Bai Yuan knows!" It puffed out its chest, its face filled with pride.
"…" Would it kill you to say so earlier? She thought she was going to die here. She was currently using her original avatar. Her heart would ache if she died, alright? "Are you familiar with this place?"
"Bai Yuan knows everything about this place." It hopped in front, leading the way.
"Is there any person or item here that can dispel resentment?"
"Human?" Bai Yuan paused for a moment, tilted his head to look at her, and said with some embarrassment, "There's only one person here."
"Who?" There really was someone. It seemed that this trip was not in vain.
"I'll bring you there." Bai Yuan happily ran in front.
Zhu Yao did not waste any time either, and immediately followed after him. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the dusky sky, and a thin silver-white line appeared in front of them. It was a long line that extended infinitely, as if it had split the world into two.
When she got closer, she realized that it was actually a river. It was silvery-white in color, and the river was so wide that she couldn't see the end of it. She had only seen such a peculiar river once. "River of Forgetfulness?"
Why would the River of Forgetfulness appear here? Had she returned to the Netherworld? But the style was evidently not right.
Bai Yuan changed his direction, and ran a few steps upstream. "Let's head up, at the source … We'll be there soon."
Source! This river was so wide, she did not even know how far the so-called source was. It was still fine in the past, but now that she did not have the slightest bit of cultivation, she would probably die, right? Zhu Yao followed after it in despair, and instantly felt that her footsteps had become several tons heavier.
"We're here!"
Eh? So fast? She had only walked for ten minutes, right?
Zhu Yao raised her head to look, and on the surface of the river in front of her, a gigantic white palace had appeared, spanning across the entire River of Forgetfulness. That palace was extremely gorgeous, and every single part of it seemed to be built using the purest white stones. From afar, it looked like a snow-white curtain that was hung in the sky, and it was a little dazzling to the eyes.
It's so white, I'll get snow blindness, right? Zhu Yao silently retorted.
"Bai Yuan, the person you spoke of lives here?"
"Ou!"
"Then how do we get there?" That palace was floating on the surface of the river, and she did not know how to swim.
"Fly, fly, aooo ~ ~" Bai Yuan roared. He suddenly rose into the sky, and flew towards that palace.
"Wait a minute!" Bring me along, I don't know how to fly, hey.
Bai Yuan had already turned into a ray of white light, and disappeared in an instant.
"…" What happened to the promise of being friends?
Looking at the vast river surface, Zhu Yao felt like crying. Just as she was hesitating if she should use the dog-paddle style to swim over, a green dot suddenly appeared in the river, and it was especially obvious on the snow-white river surface. The green dot grew larger, and when she took a closer look, it was actually a flower bud.
Zhu Yao took two steps forward, and that flower bud suddenly bloomed. It grew larger and larger, and in the end, it turned into a lotus the size of a washbasin. And above the lotus at the center, a golden arrow was floating.
This … Was it telling her to step on it?
Using her feet to test the waters, Zhu Yao hesitated for a moment, before taking a step onto it. She never expected that this lotus would be so sturdy. Forget about falling, it did not even sway, and was as stable as flat ground. She did not know what breed it was, but Zhu Yao had the urge to transplant it back.
The moment she stood still, another lotus bloomed a step away from her. Could it be that this lotus was a chain store?
Zhu Yao stepped over with a heart filled with doubts. Hence, with every step she took, a lotus like this would bloom in front of her. As though it was paving a path, it bloomed all the way to the palace in the middle of the river. She arrived in front of the palace without any obstructions.
The moment she stepped onto the stone steps, the row of lotuses behind her, instantly withered and fell into the river bottom. This should be some sort of wood-type formation.
Zhu Yao walked onto the stone steps, and the entire white palace was in front of her. It stood tall and majestic, emitting a majestic aura. The strange thing was, it was strangely quiet. Forget about people, not even a fly could be seen in the surroundings. Bai Yuan who came up first, where did he run off to?
Running into someone else's territory just like that, she wondered if it would attract the owner's disgust.
Passing through the plaza in front of the palace, Zhu Yao hesitated for a moment, and decided to greet him. "Umm … Is there anyone here?"
"…" Complete silence.
She could not help but raise her hand to knock on that large door. Initially, she thought that there would not be any response, but that large white door suddenly rumbled, and slowly opened inwards.
The interior of the palace was snow-white as well. Zhu Yao walked in, and saw a tall platform at the innermost side of the palace. A man was currently sitting on the only chair on the tall platform. He was dressed entirely in white, and even his hair was silvery white.
Seeing her enter, he revealed a set of white teeth with a slight smile …
Zhu Yao subconsciously turned her head. Just how much did this person like the color white? Her eyes were about to be blinded by it.
"Hoho, hi ~" Zhu Yao habitually greeted him.
"You're here." A voice that was as warm as water resounded. Even though the voice was not loud, it felt as though it was right next to her ears, and it was clearly transmitted into the depths of her heart. Zhu Yao faintly felt that this voice was a little familiar, yet she could not recall where she had heard it before.
"You know me?"
His smile deepened. "Zhu Yao, I have been waiting for you."
"Ah? Waiting for me? "What did he mean?
He stood up and walked down from the tall platform. Only then did Zhu Yao see his appearance clearly. Sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. Though he was not a peerless beauty, for some reason, he gave off a gentle feeling.
"Realmspirit said that you're the only person who can help me."
"You know Realmspirit!?" Zhu Yao was stunned. After fixing so many bugs, this was the first time she heard an NPC know of Realmspirit's name.
He paused for a moment, and then slowly nodded. "I guess I know him."
What do you mean by guess!?
"Do you know who he is? Where is he? Why do you need me to fix this bug? "
His smile grew even gentler. "You will know in the future."
The hell, it's as good as not saying anything.
"What do you mean by I can help you?"
His expression sank. Suddenly, he reached out a hand, and a black miasma formed from the letters' bug 'appeared in his palm.
"Resentment!" Zhu Yao seemed to recognize it at first glance. "Why is it here as well? Could it be … You're the person who eliminated the Ghost King that day? You're able to remove resentment! "
"No." He shook his head. Clenching his fist, the resentment instantly disappeared. "I'm merely temporarily locking it down."
"Locking it down?"
"Resentment is formless and undying. Even if it's me, I can only temporarily lock it down." He frowned. "But the amount of resentment in this world will only increase. In the beginning, it was still fine, but millions of years have passed. Even if it's me, there will come a day when my strength is exhausted."
"Millions of years!?" Zhu Yao caught onto a keyword. Did he mean to say that he had already existed for millions of years? That was the beginning of the world, when even the Ancient Gods did not exist. He had already existed back then? "Just who in the world are you?"
That gentle smile still hung on his face, and he softly said. "My name is River of Forgetfulness."
"River of Forgetfulness!" Zhu Yao suddenly widened her eyes. "Hoho, it can't be … that River of Forgetfulness, right?"
He waved his hand, and in an instant, the entire white hall disappeared. Beneath their feet was the silvery white River of Forgetfulness, and they were currently floating above the surface of the river.
The man softly said. "It's just as you think. I'm this River of Forgetfulness."
"…" Zhu Yao felt as though her brain had crashed. River of Forgetfulness, he was River of Forgetfulness. This river was asking her for help. What could she do? Wash away sand?
"Since the beginning of the world, I have been in this Underworld, erasing the imprints of all living beings in this world, restoring the original appearance of the soul." River of Forgetfulness continued. "However, some of these imprints can be erased, while some cannot."
"Resentment can't?"
He nodded. "Resentment affects the soul, and a soul that carries resentment will recall the matters of its past life. If resentment does not dissipate, it will cause many unforeseen events, causing the collapse of this world. That's why I cannot allow resentment to remain in my soul. However, even if it leaves my soul, it will still not dissipate. I can only seal it. "
He once again waved his hand, and the silvery river suddenly split into two, revealing the bottom of the river. However, she saw that the bottom of the river was filled with a deep darkness, and it was so dense that it could not be seen how deep it was. The deep darkness was constantly tumbling, and occasionally, a strand of it would appear. Zhu Yao took a closer look, and that black color was densely filled with the word 'bug'.
The bottom of the river was actually filled with resentment. Just how many years did this terrifying amount of resentment accumulate for!?
Beneath such a pure river water, was actually a place to seal resentment.
River of Forgetfulness lowered his hand, and the surface of the river once again closed up, returning to its original silvery white color. He turned his head and looked at her with a gentle expression, starlight flashing in his eyes.
"Uh …" Why are you looking at me with such hope? "I really don't know how to dispel resentment. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to look for you."
"Since Realmspirit said you can do it, then naturally, you really can." River of Forgetfulness said with a confident look.
"But I don't know anything about resentment at all." Otherwise, little wimp would have been fine a long time ago.
He shook his head. "You don't know right now, because the time isn't right yet."
"Then when will the time be right?"
He smiled, and did not reply. Instead, he looked at her with an even more focused gaze. "You can do it."
"…" Don't be so confident in me. What if I go overboard?
"Before that day arrives, I will continue to wait." He raised his hand, and a formation instantly appeared beneath her feet. Zhu Yao felt her body lightening, and the formation brightened.
"Wait a minute." She had yet to finish her question. "I still have something to do!"
In the next moment, she was surrounded by white light, and a faintly discernible voice sounded in her ears.
"Don't worry. The person you're concerned about has nothing to do with resentment."
— — — —
"Big sis Zhu Yao!" Little wimp's voice sounded in her ears. Her waist tightened, and in the next moment, she had already risen into the sky.
Wang Xuzhi brought her several meters away, and said with a worried look. "Big sis Zhu Yao, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Zhu Yao turned around to look. She had once again returned to that chasm at the end of the sky.
"How can you stand there? It's too dangerous. What if you fall in?" Little wimp said with a worried look.
"Fall in?" Zhu Yao widened her eyes. Didn't she already fall in?
"This place is too dangerous. The wind can actually scatter spiritual energy. It's not advisable to stay here for long." He suggested with a stern look.
Zhu Yao felt that it was a little strange. She had clearly fallen in for so long, so why did little wimp look like he did not know about it at all? Could it be that the flow of time in the land at the end of the sky was different from in Spiritual Realm? She suddenly felt that there was something in her hands? Lowering her head to take a look, it was a silvery-white pearl, which looked extremely similar to the color of that palace. What was this? Was this given to her by River of Forgetfulness? She clenched her fists, only to realize that her cultivation had once again recovered.
"Big sis Zhu Yao, it seems like there's no way to eliminate resentment here. Let's head back?"
She nodded, and followed Wang Xuzhi back to Ancient Azure Sect.
Regarding the bug this time, she finally had some clues. Previously, she had always thought that it was that Ghost King, or the resentment on that Ghost King's body. Only now did she realize that Realmspirit wanted her to eliminate all resentment. Under the River of Forgetfulness, the accumulated resentment for billions of years, if it were to rush out, not only the Underworld, the entire Three Realms would be affected. This was basically a super huge bug.
Yet, she did not have the slightest clue as to the specific solution. This wasn't like making a game, where one could simply delete the game if they encountered a problem. Most likely, even Realmspirit himself did not know how to solve it, otherwise, he wouldn't have left it alone for so long.
She felt that she had encountered the biggest problem ever since she transmigrated.
Her master still had not woken up, and little wimp's situation was worsening. The resentment in his body was beginning to go out of control, and it was rampaging in his meridians, causing his spiritual energy to be unable to gather, and even endangering his Dantian. This caused him to once again fall into unconsciousness.
