That woman followed Ren's side without a word, supporting him in silence.
Inside Pingxin Hall, Xuanming watched the scene and the absent-minded Houtu. She immediately realized that Houtu had transformed a fragment of her divine consciousness and entered Reincarnation as well, reincarnating alongside Ren, keeping him company, and enjoying that rare care.
The sight left Xuanming deeply conflicted. She rubbed her forehead and shook her head. "Sigh... what was this supposed to be? Setting a trap for someone else only to trap yourself in it?"
Xuanming was speechless. She truly did not know what to say and could only watch the phantom of Reincarnation in silence.
Suddenly, Xuanming gritted her teeth. "Since these emotional ties came from Reincarnation, then I'll sever them within Reincarnation! Let's see whether this so-called love of yours is truly so fragile within Reincarnation!"
Well, no one knew what she was thinking. Perhaps she wanted to help Houtu. Perhaps she wanted to experience Reincarnation herself. Or perhaps she wanted to witness the strength of emotional ties.
Xuanming made her decision without hesitation. Her divine consciousness condensed, then fell into the phantom of Reincarnation, clearly following it into reincarnation as well.
Xuanming's Worries
The Underworld, silent Pingxin Hall!
This palace was hidden deep within the Underworld and protected by it. Besides, few people came near it, and no one dared approach it. Thus, Pingxin Hall was exceedingly safe.
Now, within the silent palace, Reincarnation intertwined, making it impossible to fathom.
A portion of Xuanming's divine consciousness had been drawn out and merged into Reincarnation, yet the remnant still controlled her body and watched the changes within Reincarnation.
In contrast, Houtu had devoted all her mind and spirit to Reincarnation.
Within the phantom of Reincarnation, Ren, who had condensed an invincible conviction, reincarnated as a sword immortal.
