From Heaven to Hell, Ah Yin's Breakdown!

Holy Soul Village, Back Mountain.

At that moment, somewhere in the area, a Blue Silver Grass with blue-gold patterns on its leaves swayed violently, gradually becoming listless again.

The Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin!

She had also suddenly received Dai Yichen's Diary Copy yesterday, and at midnight, she had gained a small increase in her cultivation years.

After sensing it herself, she found that her luck was good. She had happened to receive the highest percentage, increasing her own cultivation by one percent. That amounted to more than ten years of cultivation, equivalent to a year of hard training for her.

This reward immediately rekindled a glimmer of hope within her. She did not hope for Dai Yichen to mention her in his diary. As long as she could receive this cultivation-enhancing reward every month, then in a hundred years—or perhaps even less—she could restore her hundred-thousand-year cultivation!

As long as she restored her hundred-thousand-year cultivation, she could take human form again and live with Hao and Little San.

A hundred years might mean having one foot in the grave for Soul Masters below the rank of Titled Douluo.

But for powerful Titled Douluo, who were over a hundred years old, they would still be living perfectly well as long as nothing unexpected happened.

As far as she knew, after a Soul Master became a Titled Douluo, they would undergo a transformation and gain a longer lifespan. Living to around two hundred was no problem, and their lifespan would further increase as their cultivation improved.

Tang Hao was already level ninety-five. Ah Yin believed that with his talent for cultivation, he might be a level ninety-seven or even ninety-eight powerhouse a hundred years from now!

Yesterday, when she thought of this, she had been filled with anticipation for the future. If she could speak now and were not constrained by the system, she would have wanted to tell Tang Hao the news immediately.

Yet only half a day had passed before Dai Yichen told her that her son had actually died six years ago?

Ah Yin activated her perception and watched a skinny little boy in the Back Mountain, falling into deep thought.

Although her cultivation had dropped to only around a hundred years, she was still the emperor of the Blue Silver Clan. She still possessed the ability to mobilize the surrounding Blue Silver Grass, transmit information, and share their vision. It was simply that, with her current cultivation, doing so consumed a considerable amount of Soul Power.

Over the past six years, whenever she was not cultivating, she would observe this son she had never met. As long as she quietly watched him, watched him grow up, she felt that her choice back then had not been wrong. She had sacrificed herself so that her husband and son could both live.

She had not completely died either. She merely needed to cultivate again. She had already been very satisfied with such an outcome.

But after what Dai Yichen had said today, it was as though something in her hazy mind had suddenly broken free from its restraints, and she recalled every detail of Tang San's life over the past six years.

At some point, he had begun coming to the Back Mountain every morning just as the sun rose, sitting in meditation and gazing toward the morning sun, his eyes faintly glowing purple. Could this be one of the Tang Sect Secret Techniques Dai Yichen had mentioned?

It was not just his eyes. As time passed, Tang San gradually learned a strange footwork technique, and sometimes his hands would turn the color of white jade.

Besides that, Tang San would use long, slender Silver Needles to shoot at trees in the Back Mountain and such. Could those be the hidden weapons Dai Yichen had mentioned?

She had lived for so long, yet this was the first time she had heard the term "hidden weapon." They did not seem all that powerful.

Of course, that was not the important part. The important question was, why had it taken her so many years to notice that something was off about her son's words and behavior?

Ah Yin suddenly felt rather foolish. Tang San had been sensible from the start. Ever since he could remember, he had taken care of Tang Hao's daily needs. He seemed very honest, but he could not get along with the other children in the village and often stayed alone in the Back Mountain.

At first, she had thought it was because Tang Hao was so despondent and neglectful of the household that Tang San had matured early, gradually developing such a solitary personality. Since he had inherited both their bloodlines, he was also exceptionally gifted and had begun exploring cultivation alone in the Back Mountain at an early age.

At that moment, Tang San was sitting cross-legged in the Back Mountain within her perception, seemingly cultivating. Yet his brows occasionally furrowed slightly, as though he had encountered a difficult problem.

Gradually, Ah Yin went from initial disbelief, believing that Dai Yichen was simply spouting nonsense, to deep suspicion.

Ah Yin's rationality told her that the person before her was no longer her son, but her emotions told her that perhaps this person was still her son.

She knew that perhaps she was deceiving herself, but as a mother, she truly could not accept such a fact!

Suddenly, Ah Yin thought of something, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.

Dai Yichen had also said that he possessed memories of a past life, that his past life had likewise not been from this world. Yet he said he had been reborn into this world. What exactly was the difference between rebirth and body possession?

Could Dai Yichen have been mistaken? Perhaps her son had not been possessed at all, but had been reborn, recalled the memories of his past life, and applied what he had learned in that life to this new world?

Ah Yin's mind was in complete chaos. She had already overlooked what Dai Yichen had mentioned: Tang San's actions in the Tang Sect in his previous life, and how Tang San's personality had perfectly inherited that past life, without inheriting even a trace of Ah Yin's gentleness or Tang Hao's loyalty to the Clear Sky Sect.

Unlike Ah Yin's intense reaction, the other female leads had more varied emotions—some were shocked, while others were curious.

Not only about Tang San, but also about Dai Yichen.

The Zhu Family.

Zhu Zhuyun hesitated for a moment, then looked at the silent Zhu Zhuqing. "Little sister, do you think Yichen might be like this so-called Tang San? Could he have actually become someone else long ago?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, determination in her eyes. "No, I believe in Brother Yichen! Brother Yichen came to find me because he recalled the memories of his past life. In other words, the person I have known from beginning to end has always been the same person."

"Big Sister, although I was a little disappointed and hurt when I first learned that Brother Yichen had approached me with a purpose, when I thought of all the moments we shared over the past two years, I realized that I simply could not let him go. I could not feel even the slightest resentment toward him."

Seeing her younger sister's attitude, Zhu Zhuyun smiled and stroked her head. "Our Zhuqing seems to have become exceptionally clever whenever something involving Yichen is concerned."

Zhu Zhuqing raised her little head and looked at Zhu Zhuyun with some grievance. "Big Sister, are you saying that I used to be very stupid?"

Zhu Zhuyun:

"Cough, cough." Zhu Zhuyun coughed twice, avoiding Zhu Zhuqing's gaze somewhat guiltily. Then, thinking of something, she said, "Zhuqing, I actually think Younger Brother Yichen's situation is different from Tang San's. I met Younger Brother Yichen when he was even younger, but as far as I could tell, there was not much difference between his personality and behavior then and now."
