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

Chapter 368 Fallen Petals Are Not Heartless 3

"Fallen petals are not heartless things, they turn into spring mud to protect the flowers." Lan Wenjing murmured with a mix of heartache and pride, having clearly seen the ultimate purpose behind Wei Wuxian and the others' actions in his past life.

"To be reborn from the ashes! Second Brother and Lan Erge were truly quick-witted and extraordinary in their past lives!" Qi Ye sighed and exclaimed with admiration.

The faces of Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, who were being praised, did not show any joy or pride. Instead, they were filled with a deep and unyielding solemnity and heartache for the sacrifices and deaths of each other and the world.

As for Wei Chaoyan and Qingyan, who were completely bewildered, they just stared at each other blankly, utterly clueless as to what had happened.

After staring for a while, seeing that the quick-witted Wei Ying and the other three were only absorbed in their own thoughts, and no one was able to clear their minds and answer their questions, they realized that the two of them were completely confused.

Wei Chaoyan was already agitated because she had witnessed firsthand how her beloved younger brothers, despite their struggles in their past lives, could not attain the peaceful happiness of this world, and ultimately had to dedicate themselves to the common people, yet all of this ended in tragedy.

Of the six people watching the film, only he and his silly younger brother Qingyan understood nothing, while the other four seemed to know the inside story, yet none of them were kind enough to offer any explanation.

It really is...!

Wei Chaoyan grew angrier and angrier, so she simply leaped to 001 not far away, reached out and grabbed 001's snow-white rabbit paw without any hesitation, kneading the pink and elastic paw pads, and spoke in a carefree manner.

"001, I didn't understand what A-Ying and the others did at the end in my past life. Could you explain it to me in detail?"

"Wasn't that 'All Things Grow' formation supposed to be a grand formation for suppressing and purifying resentful spirits and evil ghosts? How come it turned out to be so aggressive?"

"In the end, the world still cannot escape annihilation and return to nothingness. Wouldn't all of A-Ying and the others' selfless sacrifices have been in vain?!"

Unaware of Wei Chaoyan's sudden movement, 001 Rabbit, caught off guard, suddenly had a row of black lines slide down its face. But what could it do about the host it had chosen?

001 closed her ruby-red rabbit eyes weakly and answered with a look of utter despair.

"Host, didn't you hear at all what your brother Qiye said about 'putting yourself in a desperate situation to survive'?"

Wei Chaoyan tilted her head guiltily and remained silent: "..."

"Then you should still remember the most crucial reason why you were able to successfully reverse fate in this life, right?" 001 asked weakly.

"Huh? Isn't it because of your appearance, 001?" Wei Chaoyan blurted out in surprise. "Because of your golden finger, or rather, your golden thigh, I was able to successfully help Aying escape the fate of being homeless as a child and then living under the roof of the Jiang family."

"It is because of you that I was able to connect with my motherland across the vast chaos, and with the five thousand years of Chinese history, I was able to provide Aying and Qiye with the most top-notch and abundant learning resources, and also give me and them the confidence and power to change the whole world!"

Although Wei Chaoyan's sincere praise caused a warm garbled code to flash quickly within 001's program code, her inability to explain herself left 001 feeling quite frustrated!

In a fit of anger, 001, quite unwisely, tilted its head back and gave Wei Chaoyan's blockhead a hard headbutt.

"Ouch!" Wei Chaoyan winced as she clutched her reddened forehead, her eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly aggrieved. "001, what are you doing? Did I praise you wrong?!"

001 looked at Wei Chaoyan, who still couldn't understand, with a complicated expression, and then at Qingyan, who seemed to have figured it out. Suddenly, she realized that she was only arguing with this stupid and stubborn host because she was being corrupted by the host's adorable stupidity.

So he started an internal self-check process while resuming his usual mechanical tone, explaining things in a completely flat and monotonous manner.

"Host, the most crucial reason why you were able to successfully break free from the shackles of fate accumulated over three lifetimes is that you seized the opportunity when I severely injured the Heavenly Dao of this place, and promptly used the remaining foundation of the Myriad Things Life Array engraved in the laws of heaven and earth from your previous life to improve and open up a new sub-dimensional world."

"This new world is a blank slate without the Heavenly Dao. It is both interdependent with the Demonic World and independent of it. All of you entered this new world immediately, which means that you have all been freed from the shackles of the original Heavenly Dao."

"That is why you were able to sweep away the old problems that allowed the immortal families to dominate the world with unstoppable momentum and reverse fate!"

"Once the situation in the New Territories is settled and people's hearts are at peace, we can successfully integrate with the Old Territories. This will not only strengthen the foundation of the Old Territories and mend the holes in its origin, but also use the vigorous vitality of the New Territories and people's hearts to dispel the already corrupt and decadent Old Heavenly Dao, injecting it with new vitality and allowing the new Heavenly Dao to sprout."

"Only at this point can you truly say that the entire world of Demonic Cultivation has become completely independent, free from the invisible manipulation and influence of the original plot!"

"Host, congratulations! Thanks to your efforts and those of all living beings, the Demonic World has successfully been upgraded! It is now an independent, real small world!"

Faced with the bombshell dropped by 001, Wei Chaoyan, Wei Ying, Lan Zhan, Qi Ye, Qingyan, and Lan Wenjing were all completely blank: "...!!!"
