The True Origins of Yuniang, the Ten Directions Profound Sword

[The moment you held him in your arms, you realized that this person Calamity of This World, was as light as a feather. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but his gradually unfocused eyes held a smile: "Look, crying again, this isn't like you at all."]

[You cried as you questioned him, "Why did you side with the Alien Race? What reason do you have?! Just tell me, and I'll help you! No matter what..." You didn't finish your sentence because Qin Wangchuan's eyes were already losing focus.]

[His lips moved slightly. You lean close to hear him whisper with his last breath, "Don't cry... the Immortal Court still exists..."]

[You didn't understand the meaning of that sentence at the time, but later, when you saw people from the Lower Realm and Upper Realm standing together reminiscing about their deceased loved ones, you suddenly understood.]

Qin Wangchuan did this to end the War of Heaven Slaying.

[The Ten Directions Myriad Tribulation Immortal Venerable, alone, destroyed the chaotic world and reshaped it before causing irreparable disaster.]

[Countless people died, the Great Dao crumbled, and countless worlds lost contact, but as he said, the Immortal Court still exists...]

[But... he's gone.]

[After figuring this out, you broke down.]

[Log content missing...]

[You sat in the void for endless years, clutching the sword he left behind, pondering why things had turned out this way.]

["Was it when Liudao Child was executed? No. Was it when Ye Jianwei defected? No. Was it when he reappeared? No..."]

[After much deduction, you finally discovered the source of this series of consequences and learned of the existence of the Xu Tianluo.]

"It all started with that attack on the Immortal Path, because of the Xu Tianluo." With this thought in mind, you begin to work towards changing this outcome.

[Throughout the endless ages, you discovered other timelines, and others who were also trying to change everything.]

[One step away: the attack behind the Immortal Path was orchestrated by Xu Tianluo, but Xu Tianluo has hidden his past in the Primordial Beginning.]

[Finally, you devised a solution. At your own cost, using the Ten Directions Profound Sword left behind by Qin Wangchuan as a medium, you cast a spell called "Regret" upon it.]

"Go... Trace Time, return to the beginning. At the end of countless reincarnations, slash down from the Chaos Sea, fall into the Immortal Court, return to the beginning when he wielded the sword... let everything start anew."

["This time... I'm on his side."]

Qin Wangchuan stared at the finally emerging words, his fingertips unconsciously tapping lightly in the air.

"This is somewhat different from what I said in the future, but there are still similarities."

Countless clues intertwined and collided in his mind—the assassination attempt on the Immortal Path, the Eternal Sleep Body, the seclusion of the Wen Dao Palace, Ye Jianwei's defection, the bloody battle against the Attack Heaven... ultimately coalescing into the self that stood on the opposite side of the world.

"Wait...!" Qin Wangchuan murmured to himself, his voice trembling with a sudden realization, "So that's how it is, I understand now..."

"The Future Self didn't explain everything clearly! He said he sat in the void, but didn't say which void; he said the Immortal Court was destroyed, but concealed the true reason for the destruction, which means..." Qin Wangchuan suddenly stopped and turned to look at the void, as if he were looking at his future self.

"The one sitting there is not Qin Wangchuan, but the one who personally destroyed the world— Calamity of This World Ten Directions Myriad Tribulation Immortal Venerable!"

"He also destroyed the Immortal Court for some reason, and then died, so he wants to start over?"

"And that reason... is the War of Heaven Slaying."

Qin Wangchuan took a deep breath, his mind racing with countless possibilities.

Everything is in place.

"Is the War of Heaven Slaying essentially a manifestation of discontent among the lower classes against the upper order, or an internal strife within the Human Race?"

"If a more powerful and terrifying common enemy emerges, all the infighting will naturally subside, and we will be forced to unite..." he murmured, then slowly shook his head. "This is indeed a swift and decisive path, using killing to stop killing, and plunder to quell chaos."

"Although in both timelines I chose to fight the world alone, destroy everything, and recreate everything... this will never be the only path."

"And my Future Self also told me about other methods."

Qin Wangchuan closed his eyes, and the three key points that his Future Self had told him before the Wheel of Fate appeared clearly in his mind like three branding marks.

"First: Go to the Immortal Path and sweep away all the Alien Race within. This is the beginning of everything."

"Second: Go to the Wandao Academy and find Sixth Brother. Tell him the person he's been waiting for has arrived. Follow him, and when he's recognizing a woman, kill that woman. This is the turning point."

"Third: Five years from now, you will begin your Ten Lives Trial. In your third life, you will encounter a girl named Xia Lingwei. Be wary of her, but do not become her enemy. This is the cause of this Calamity of This World, and also the solution."

He repeated them softly, gaining a deeper understanding of these three key points.

After speaking, his gaze fell on the only reward option.

"You can only choose one... I guess what it is."

I choose 1.

With a slight thought, an ancient longsword quietly appeared in his palm.

The sword's blade felt warm and smooth like jade, and its fine cracks seemed to record countless cycles of life and death.

My fingertips gently brushed across the Sword Spine; the touch was not that of cold metal, but rather of a warm, jade-like texture.

Although the deeply engraved strokes have become slightly blurred due to the erosion of time, the five-character inscription can still be clearly perceived when the fingertip gently runs over them.

"Ten... Directions... Wonderful... Techniques... Sword"

With his eyes closed, he silently recited each word in his mind, like a blind person reading a scroll, relying on his sense of touch.

Every engraving on the sword seems to contain some indescribable Dao Rhyme.

Of course, it also has another name--

"Shuyu, Yuniang..."

It wasn't until the sword was in his hand that Qin Wangchuan truly grasped the reality of Yuniang's disappearance.

Yuniang is gone...

There wasn't even a goodbye; it was so abrupt, so utterly unreal.

Qin Wangchuan gripped the sword hilt tightly, his knuckles turning white. The emotions surging in his eyes gradually settled, transforming into a steadfast resolve.

"I don't know which timeline this is..." he whispered to the void, as if making a vow, "But Yuniang, and 'you' struggling in every timeline--"

The young man raised his hand, Ten Directions Profound Sword emitted a barely audible hum, the chaotic Dao Rhyme flowing from the sword's edge resonating subtly with the aura around him.

"The price you paid, the lessons you learned, and the tips you offered will not be in vain."

The last trace of confusion in the boy's eyes was cut off, revealing its sharpness like a sword drawn from its sheath.

"I will sever all the causes and effects along this smooth, bloody path."

I swear.

At the same time.

Just as Li Qingluan finished explaining things to her family and was about to go find Qin Wangchuan, she suddenly felt a splitting headache.

A faint whisper echoed in my mind.
