Chang'e flies to the moon
Returning to the normal timeline, the Great Yin Star one year later.
A year has passed since that grand "Moonfall" event.
Before we knew it, it was August 15th of the new year, and a near-perfect full moon hung high in the night sky.
At this moment, the position of the Great Yin Star is far from the Earth, even further away than before the Moonfall.
However, despite the combined brilliance of the stars, the Great Yin Star's light shone more dazzlingly than ever before.
It was a gentle light, different from the sun, that made people feel at ease even when looked directly at.
"Is this what it feels like to have a body again?"
On the outermost edge of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, there is a riverbank where towering power towers stand.
A burly, robust man carefully turned around, his face filled with the joy of being reborn.
Although this body appeared to have all white hair and beard.
His skin was as white as paper, just like that of a person with albinism.
However, its vibrant vitality is undeniable, and its health far exceeds ordinary people's imagination.
"This body is entirely composed of Flat Peach Cells, so you now possess a semi-immortal body."
With a blank expression, Lingguzi slowly stood up and said as he carefully put away the various surgical instruments.
"Furthermore, your heart was made from the arrowhead of that Sun-Shooting Arrow."
"The remaining arrow shafts were reshaped into your skeleton, so you should now be considered a half- Innate Deity."
I don't care who you are, nor do I want to know your background.
"I saved you solely because of Li Jingshu, so you don't need to thank me."
Before the man could react, Lingguzi blew his bone whistle and rode a bronze snake away along the riverbank.
"Thanks!"
Watching Lingguzi's departing figure, the man expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
After expressing his gratitude, the man felt confused by Lingguzi's last words.
The man stood motionless on the riverbank for a long time, his newborn face displaying an extremely contradictory and complex expression.
So, have you come to terms with your own identity now?
Without a sound, Li Boyang appeared, his arms crossed over his chest.
Behind Li Boyang, Wangshu, with a cold and stern face, leaned against the towering power tower, looking completely unconcerned.
"I don't know who I am, but I know I'm definitely not Dayi."
Without turning his head, the man gave a slightly bitter smile.
"Although that full moon god possesses profound abilities, he lacks understanding of human nature."
"Or perhaps she simply didn't care whether I was Dayi or not; she just wanted to leave something for her younger sister to remember her by."
The "Goddess of the Full Moon" mentioned by the man naturally refers to Ji'e, and he himself is the memory of Dayi that Heng'e preserved using the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow.
"You are alive now, that's beyond question."
Looking at the man with great interest, Li Boyang's words were also true.
At Li Jingshu's request, Li Boyang helped the man rebuild his soul, and his Lingguzi recreated his flesh and blood.
Furthermore, due to the existence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation System, the man could re-enter the cycle of reincarnation like an ordinary being, rather than just being a pure memory.
"But I want more than just to come back to life---"
As memories of his time with E flashed through his mind, the man's voice grew even deeper.
Li Xuandu was able to easily break free from the influence of those memories because he had a complete life trajectory and rich experience.
But the man couldn't do that; he didn't even have any memories other than those of Dayi.
Even the memories the man possessed about Dayi were incomplete.
The man's memory of Dayi was forever frozen at the moment he shot down the Great Golden Crow; he knew nothing of what happened afterward.
"Actually, looking at it from another perspective, the fact that you have no subsequent memories might not be a bad thing."
Under the man's astonished gaze, Li Boyang said with a half-smile.
"Don't forget who stayed by his side after Dayi shot down the suns."
"That memory holds a special meaning for both E'er and Ji'e."
"If you've even inherited that memory, can you still be so certain that you love E'e, and not Heng'e?"
Great Yin Star, under the laurel tree in the Moon Palace.
At this very moment, the Great Yin Star still retains the damage and traces caused by that great battle.
Only the enormous pit was covered by the reborn Divine Laurel Tree, becoming a remarkable sight on the Great Yin Star.
The laurel tree occupies nearly one-tenth of the area of Great Yin Star.
The Taiyin essence that hung down like peach blossoms was more like the fruit borne by this divine tree.
Bathed in this materialized Taiyin energy, Chang'e's gaze appeared tense and timid, carrying a sense of trepidation as she approached home.
"Can the eldest sister really be brought back to life?"
Faced with E's question, Li Jingshu, who was supporting herself on the tree root with one hand, rolled her eyes.
You've asked me this question countless times, and I still don't know!
"All I can do is use Flat Peach Cells and water from the Jade Pool to help you revive this Divine Laurel Tree."
"As for whether your sister and mother can be reborn through this, you'll have to ask your younger brother." Li Jingshu paused slightly at this point.
