In the Human Realm's Lesser Star Realm, where Li Xiaoya had been born.
Beside a mountain stream on Rainbow Rosy Peak, Divine Path Mountain, in the Liang Kingdom of the Great Illusion Continent, Mother Li and Li Muzhi sat hand in hand on a stone bench, watching crimson clouds fill the western sky as they exchanged tender words...
Suddenly!

However!
"Father! Mother! It's me!" A clear voice rang out from the purple apparition...
"It's Ya! That's Ya's voice!" Mother Li cried in delight, moving to embrace the purple figure...
At that moment!
"Ahem! You'd best not touch me! Otherwise, the connection will break!" a voice said, deliberately sounding somewhat aged. It was the Purple-Light Daoist Patriarch.
"You little rascal! It really is you?" Li Muzhi exclaimed joyfully. "Are you doing all right?"
"Father! I'm doing very well! You don't need to worry about me!" Li Xiaoya's voice continued
