It was undeniable that these faces had belonged to her during her past three lifetimes.

“Who are you?”

Gu Ruoyun’s voice was doubtful as she asked the woman who was walking towards her.

She felt a sense of familiarity towards this woman as if both of them were one and the same…

“You’ve arrived?”

The woman’s expression was chilly and her voice was cold to the bone, like an icebox. “I’ve been waiting for you since ancient times. I’ve been waiting for this day and you’ve finally unlocked the last door. Gu Ruoyun, I’ve truly let you down.”

Gu Ruoyun’s heart skipped a beat.

This woman in white had claimed that she had been waiting for her since ancient times…

“Who on earth are you? If you’ve been waiting here since ancient times, how do you know my name?”

The woman in white’s expression remained neutral as she replied loftily, “Who am I? Naturally, I’m you. Not only do I know about your existence, I know about Bai Ruoyi, Xia Ruoyun, and you…”

Bai Ruoyi was Gu Ruoyun from ten thousand years ago and Xia Ruoyun had been her previous reincarnation…

Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows when she heard the woman’s words. “So you’re me? That means that I’ve existed since ancient times?”

The woman looked at Gu Ruoyun and nodded gently. “That’s right. I’m certain that Zixie has never spoken to you about this. I have existed since ancient times and I was the only cultivator in the Full Circle State at the time!”

Full Circle State?

Boom!

The woman’s words caused Gu Ruoyun’s heart to tremble and she raised her lips into a bitter smile. “Looks like it isn’t just Xiao Ye who has been keeping things from me, even Zixie has kept so many secrets from me! I have no idea who I was in my past life, all I know is that I’m Gu Ruoyun! I’m not you!”

The woman curled the corners of her lips. Her smile was just as icy as ever while her ever-changing face showed no other emotion.

She did not seem to hear what Gu Ruoyun had just said and continued to speak, “During ancient times, there was an abundance of spiritual energy. A less-gifted person could reach the Martial Saint rank in just a short span of ten years! I had broken through to the Full Circle State back then. If I had continued to absorb spiritual energy, it would bring dire consequences to my body. I would then explode and die! I had no way to disperse the power in my body without disastrous consequences for others on the mainland. Left with no other choice, I had to reincarnate and live another life again!”

Gu Ruoyun looked shocked. However, she soon recovered herself and continued to listen to what the woman was saying.

“I had never told anyone about this and not even Zixie knows about it. He only thinks that I had chosen to reincarnate because I had been too bored. Actually, that wasn’t the case. No matter how boring my days were, I would never abandon my life! That means to have my soul destroyed. As long as my soul exists, it’s not the same as dying! At most, I will have a different identity and environment to continue living.”

“If, as you say, your soul has now become me, how are you still able to stand before me now?” Gu Ruoyun raised her brow and looked at the woman in front of her before she asked again.

The woman fell silent before she replied to Gu Ruoyun’s question, “I’m not a spirit, I’m only a remnant of a memory. I had been able to predict the future so I had left this remnant to bring you aid…”
