Gone?
Wang Mu was startled and examined the stele from top to bottom.
Apart from this one line, was that all? He? Who?
Wang Mu frowned slightly.
The previous five steles had each been engraved with a brief summary of this Great Immortal’s experiences. In just a few words, they conveyed a profound sense of traversing ti and landscapes.
Needless to say, Wang Mu felt a sense of admiration as he read them.
He had benefited greatly along the way.
Based on the tiline of this Immortal’s reincarnations, he must have reincarnated into the ga’s current era.
Could it have been erased?
Wang Mu pondered.
The ruined city by the fifth stele already seed as if it had been destroyed and looted by soone else.
And now this stele, for the Sixth Life, had only a few words.
Clearly, sothing was amiss.
Having passed the previous ice ridge area, we must be close to the end, right?
Behind the stele lay the final stretch of the path leading to the giant Iceflower Tree, nestled deep within. It was a mysterious area composed entirely of ice ridges. The ice ridges resembled inverted barbs extending from the ground. They were slanted and studded with countless skeletons, creating a scene akin to an Ice Prison.
The steles in previous locations had provided explanations.
Yet, this one unexpectedly offered no explanation whatsoever.
Should I go?
Wang Mu glanced at his arm; the light spot on it had disappeared, aning he could still engage in Cultivation within the Immortal Mansion.
But rely cultivating didn’t seem to have much purpose. Perhaps I’ll see sothing different at the end?
Wang Mu hesitated for a mont, then decided to check it out.
The mont he stepped into the Ice Prison, a trendous pressure suddenly assailed him.
The scenery around him changed. Wooden huts appeared, forming a small village.
Anle Village?
Wang Mu was taken aback. He looked instinctively, a sense of unease rising within him. Wait, is this an illusion? Not again, right?
No, it seems not...
Wang Mu felt his Divine Sense was perfectly clear. He hadn’t lost consciousness as he had in the previous illusion; instead, he was more like an observer watching the various scenes unfold.
Before long, a little girl with white hair entered the village and beca one of its mbers.
She wore tattered beggar’s clothes, but her features were as exquisite as carved jade. Her eyes were clear, yet held a hint of vacancy and lifelessness, though deep within them, hidden emotions stirred.
Upon entering the village, it wasn’t long before the Village Chief and the other residents of Anle Village erged. They looked at the little girl with pity, gathered around her asking questions, and offered her food and clothing.
Anle Village is the sa as ever... And this scene...
Wang Mu thought for a few seconds.
This scene had never occurred in the ga.
In the ga, the protagonist starts as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth who has not yet entered Anle Village.
If players chose a different origin story, they couldn’t be raised in Anle Village; they could only engage in basic trade of materials there.
According to the ga’s lore, before the age of fifteen or sixteen, the protagonist was a wandering beggar in the Jianghu—an orphan, alone and destitute. One day, he arrived at Anle Village and, thanks to his good nature, was accepted by the villagers, becoming one of them.
In the scene, as the little girl entered the village, she began to grow. At that ti, Anle Village knew no labor other than farming. The villagers themselves weren’t very strong; they were all genuine farrs.
This little girl... her features bear so resemblance to An Qixiu... Could it be her? I didn’t expect her to have entered Anle Village so early... At that ti, Anle Village really was just an ordinary village... Could it be... An Qixiu is the sixth reincarnation of this Immortal?
This sowhat absurd speculation had crossed Wang Mu’s mind ever since he obtained the Ancient Seal.
However, it felt too incredible. Wang Mu still found the idea of her being a successor, rather than a reincarnation, more plausible.
As the scene progressed, Wang Mu felt the Spiritual Power within his body draining rapidly while he watched.
A few months later, the little girl had gradually integrated into the village. She began to instruct the villagers.
Seeing this, Wang Mu’s heart skipped a beat.
First ca hunting. The little girl crafted a Hunting Bow and taught the villagers of Anle Village so Hunting Bow Technique.
Then ca Fishing, Forging, Mining, cooking, farming...
Every year or two, the villagers of Anle Village underwent a dramatic change. They grew noticeably stronger through their various types of labor, as if they were undergoing so special form of training.
It was rely ordinary, everyday labor, yet it seed to make them comparable to Martial Arts masters who had cultivated profound Secret Martial Arts Manuals.
In less than ten years, all the villagers of Anle Village had beco experts, so skilled that it was unnoticeable.
Even they themselves had not realized it.
"..." Wang Mu.
And during these ten years, the little girl disappeared after spending only the first year or two in the village.
For many villagers, it was as if they had forgotten the little girl entirely.
Was Anle Village in the ga... established by her?
Wang Mu was shocked.
The possibility seed even greater now.
In the ga’s established history, Anle Village was just an ordinary village. And indeed, for the protagonist, it *was* an ordinary village.
In truth, Anle Village didn’t have much of a background.
But after being raised in Anle Village himself, Wang Mu realized it was actually quite different.
I rember the first ti I t An Qixiu...
His first eting with An Qixiu only occurred after the protagonist had cultivated the various skills in Anle Village to a certain level.
In other words, only by achieving the Love Saint ending, which required starting as a beggar in Anle Village, could one trigger the subsequent storyline to romance An Qixiu.
