Luo Yingbai said: “So, you sealed my memory because you were afraid I would cause trouble? No wonder I can’t remember anything.” Xia Xianning said softly: “Yes.” “Now I understand everything I didn’t understand before.” Luo Yingbai said: “Back then… when we were trying to catch Yue Huan, you were trapped in the Great Palace Formation, and the formation’s eye asked you three questions. The third question was, ‘If what you love cannot be obtained, how much of this flesh and blood remains, and how long can it hold on?’ Now I understand the meaning of her question.” Xia Xianning said: “Don’t talk anymore, rest for a while.”
” Luo Yingbai grabbed his hand: “When I perished together with the Ghost Extreme Emperor, my body and soul scattered. You exchanged lives with me, wanting to bear the calamity for me. That Weibo post, was it you…” He became somewhat breathless towards the end and started coughing. Xia Xianning patted Luo Yingbai’s back and said: “Yes, it was me. But you never listened, so I had no choice.” Youchang Terrace created worlds according to worldly principles, while Wuchang Cliff could specifically reverse their life paths. Xia Xianning’s main purpose in bringing Luo Yingbai to be reincarnated together was to obscure the heavenly secrets and make the heavenly tribulation fall on himself. This way, exchanging one life for another, he would suffer soul destruction for Luo Yingbai, allowing Luo Yingbai to return to the Heavenly Court as his original self. But the conception was good, the process was incredibly difficult. Xia Xianning’s first failure was when Luo Yingbai regained his divine power and memory after reincarnation, unwilling to let his junior brother bear these tribulations, and actively summoned the heavenly tribulation to end the reincarnation. To prevent his resistance, Xia Xianning sealed Luo Yingbai’s memory and divine power in his personal protective charm. “
But with this seal, the accumulated merit was lost. The second and third reincarnations failed, with Luo Yingbai dying while saving others – once in a fire saving Peng Xuan, another time saving a child from a knife. This made Xia Xianning realize that Luo Yingbai had his own loved ones and unresolved karmic ties in the human world.
