"Uh..."
Faced with He Pingsheng's question, Tian You paused before saying, "The souls reincarnating here in the Underworld are all low-level Immortals who have not even truly comprehended the Daoist laws of this world!"
"When their souls reincarnate in the Underworld, Granny Meng's Soup washes away their memories!"
"To be honest, once its memories are gone, a soul is simply a blank sheet of paper, neither good nor evil, neither better nor worse!"
"Put thousands upon thousands of souls together, and no one can tell which is which!"
"After hundreds or thousands of reincarnations, they become utterly ordinary, without the slightest trace of their former selves!"
"Why do you ask, Dao Lord?"
Tian You tilted his head as he looked at He Pingsheng.
A wave of anguish welled up in He Pingsheng's heart. Su Zhenzhen... had she been like that too, through these hundred and ten thousand years and more?
Entering reincarnation over and over, living and dying over and over.
How had she spent her days afterward?
Had she become an Immortal?
Had she set foot on the path of immortality again?
Had she met a new lover?
At that moment, the anguish in He Pingsheng's heart defied words. His voice caught slightly as he said, "My Dao Companion, Su Zhenzhen..."
He could not even finish that single sentence.
He Pingsheng feared that if he said it aloud, he would be unable to stop tears from streaming down his face.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist He... why don't you come with me to see the Sage first?"
"My Master has been waiting for you for quite some time!"
"Ah?" He Pingsheng's heart jolted. "What? Sage Earth Sovereign is here too?"
"She is!" Tian You nodded firmly. "Follow me, Dao Lord!"
Rumble...
The enormous divine vessel continued flying.
Before long, it
