Character side story: A believer of [Memory] · Li Jingming

Li Jingming's first Trials was a Prayer Trial; his wish was to "return" to Yunye Temple.

[Faith Game] randomly reset everyone's Rest Area, and Li Jingming was naturally forced to leave Yunye Temple. However, he did not want anyone, at least not non- Yunye disciples, to desecrate the place, so the moment he stepped out of the Path of Fate's Beginning, he told [Memory] his wish.

[Memory] granted him a Trials of [Memory]. Because it started so early, most of the participants in this Trials were [Memory] Believer were taking the Trials for the first time.

The Trials for the six newbies seemed very simple, but you have to know that on the day the gods descended, every player who dared to make a wish as soon as they came out of the Path of Fate's Beginning was a person with strong goals and desires. In addition, Li Jingming's wish was almost "expelling" another player who was assigned to the Yunye Temple, so the Trials did not go smoothly.

Six blank sheets of paper almost got lost in the labyrinth that [Memory] had created for them.

The First Trials only had names and hints; no one told them how to complete the [Memory] Trials. Fortunately, the players were quite united when facing the unknown. They kept trying and making mistakes, kept taking risks, and overcame infighting and division, finally winning the Trials.

Everyone was happy, and the other five followed Li Jingming back to Yunye Temple.

From that day on, Li Jingming began writing Scripture Fold belonging to the [Faith Game], and the first batch consisted of as many as five books.

[The Faith Game] is a dangerous and terrifying game for most players, but for some it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The secrets that reality won't tell them, the truths buried in the past and never to be known again, the past lost in the long river of history and without any basis—all of this, the gods can provide the answers to.

Therefore, in order to make up for the past of Yunye Temple, Li Jingming began to make constant prayers.

He wasn't sure if every Trials would be as arduous as the first, so to be on the safe side, he broke down what he wanted to know about the past into many small and simple wishes, such as obtaining the local County Gazetteer, reading other people's records, or talking to the descendants of those who knew about it. Unless he gained nothing, he would never take any risks.

Thus, under the high frequency of Trials, he gained more and more intelligence, secrets and information. The power of [Memory] also helped him remember more and more things. He began to be well-known in the Trials, until his name topped the Top Rank of the Ladder of Audience.

Li Jingming (Memory).

This Believer "Memory," who made his name on the list, gradually became known to the world, and everyone's Memory became anchors for his existence.

It was during this process that he gradually learned about the past of Yunye Temple.

However, this unrecorded past was far beyond Li Jingming's expectations. He had always thought that the Mask at the Path of Fate's Beginning was a "miniature" of the past Founding Master's freedom and unrestraint, but he never imagined that Yunye Temple itself was a complete "lie".

In fact, Yunye Temple was not originally a temple. In the First, it was just a shelter built on the mountainside for woodcutters to rest. As more people came and went, it expanded several times and became a courtyard.

Later, war broke out at the foot of the mountain, and a refugee who had suffered from the disaster came up the mountain to seek refuge. He found that the place was sparsely populated but habitable, so he stayed. This person had suffered greatly from the war and the pain of losing his home, and had some mental problems. After settling down, he did not want to believe that he was a refugee who had lost his home. He said that he was a Daoist priest in the temple who had never entered the world. Seeing the suffering of all living beings, he entered the world to suffer and pray for the world.

He transformed this place into his Daoist temple, where he would meditate and perform rituals every day, and "recall" his past in the mountains before entering the world. Gradually, he recorded these memories on the wooden walls to preserve them.

As the fighting at the foot of the mountain subsided, the number of refugees changed hands many times. Those who decided to settle here went up the mountain to gather firewood and saw this dilapidated Daoist temple. They told the Daoist priest that the fighting had ended. The priest believed that his prayers had worked and became even more convinced. Thus, the name Yunye has been passed down from generation to generation since then.

On the day he learned the truth, Li Jingming sat in the temple in a daze for a whole day.

It turns out that the "start" and "succession" of Yunye Temple always been of the same lineage. Whether it was the Founding Master or the Grandmaster, they were left here because of the same suffering, thus continuing the incense offerings of Yunye Temple for many years.

Even so, emotionally, he finds it difficult to accept that a large part of the past he had copied since childhood actually originated from his Founding Master's "imagination"...

Looking at those vivid and interesting "Memory," Li Jingming hesitated.

He recalled his Master's words, "This is 'recollection,' looking back to the past, with joy and sorrow arising from the heart."

Li Jingming's Dao Practice was not that high. After learning the truth, he could not control his emotions. Since he could not, he decided to solve the problem at its source. So he struggled with the decision and finally made a risky move that "desecrated" [Memory].

He wished he could forget that Memory.

He wanted Yunye to remain the vibrant and interesting Yunye he Memory, not because he disregarded his origins, but because his emotions were "from the heart."

He was dedicated to recording, but he was also selective in his recordings.

He had thought that such an action would be Blasphemy Punishment under the watchful eye of [Memory], but unexpectedly, he grew closer and closer to [Memory] after that, and even became a guide for [Memory] on his journey.

Throughout his journey, he never forgot his master's instructions.

"Pass on the Yunye..."

Each individual who could serve as an anchor point for Yunye's Memory exchanged Memory with Li Jingming. He never hesitated to use Yunye's memories to exchange for other people's secrets, and as a result, Yunye, this small mountain retreat, became known to more and more people.

Li Jingming originally intended to use this to make the world remember Yunye, but who knew that he would later learn about the Predestination plan from Cheng Shi.

It turns out that the world doesn't "revolve" around anything, but rather revolves around a Predestination entity!

If that's the case, then as long as Predestination know about Yunye... surely the name Yunye will be passed down no matter what, right?

He did it.

Even if he became a [Memory], Li Jingming filled the void of the Divine Throne with his will and Faith, and he still succeeded.

He ensured that the name of Yunye would be passed down in that foreseeable new world, at least to the "Origin".

Of course, he also considered that, given the Clown's personality, the future of losing everyone might not come. But that didn't matter. If that future didn't come, it meant that in "another future," he would still have the opportunity to personally spread the name of Yunye.

That's enough, at least Yunye is still here.

I, Li Jingming, disciple of Yunye, abbot of Yunye Temple, Believer of [Memory], have lived a life worthy of Yunye, worthy of my Master, worthy of the Clown, worthy of Predestination, worthy of my friends, and worthy of myself.

I was born in Memory, I live in Memory, and I die in Memory, using these unchanging Memory to commemorate the eternal past.

I once cherished the memory, its light and shadow etched in my mind.

I am Li Jingming from Yunye.

Li Jingming, disciple of Yunye, Memory Traveler, [Memory].
