"His soul was incomplete. That missing wisp had long since reincarnated."
Su Miao furrowed her brow. Fuxi's soul was incomplete, and the missing part had reincarnated.
That meant that no matter how well the body in the Spiritual Pond was nurtured, it would never awaken.
A puzzle missing one piece could never be completed.
"Where did he reincarnate?"
Laozi gave no hint. Her face was reflected in his eyes like in a fogged-up mirror.
"Master Father, are you testing me?"
"Take a guess."
There was a hint of mischief in Laozi's tone.
Su Miao was completely at Laozi's mercy. For one brief moment, she felt her fists clench.

Still, it did not matter. She had a cheat.
She took the Book of Life and Death from her robes. Dim light flowed across its cover.
"I can use this to look it up, can't I?"
Su Miao opened the Book of Life and Death and sent her Spiritual Sense inside.
The words in the book seemed to come alive, rising from the pages and flowing before her eyes.
Names flashed past one after another. Some were familiar, some unfamiliar; some shone with Golden Light, while others were gray and dull.
She locked onto the name Fuxi, tapped it with her fingertips, and followed the name downward with her Spiritual Sense, as though drifting downstream along a river.
Before her eyes, the river split into countless tributaries, each one representing a lifetime of Reincarnation.

Yet one branch glimmered faintly.
Su Miao's Spiritual Sense drifted downstream along that branch.
Destination of the soul. Reincarnation records.
Light flowed across the Book of Life and Death, and lines of text
