Memories Stirred by the Scene
Her cultivation level increased steadily, step by step, from a thousand years to ten thousand years, from ten thousand years to one hundred thousand years, from one hundred thousand years to two hundred thousand years...
And her followers are growing in number and becoming increasingly powerful.
Later on, she no longer needed anyone's protection.
She herself had already become one of the most powerful beings in the Star Dou Great Forest.
But time keeps passing by.
Once a mere weak Emerald Swan, she has now become the chieftain who can protect an entire clan.
Her cultivation level had also reached the level of 500,000 years, approaching 600,000 years!
In the entire Star Dou Great Forest, there are very few beings who can rival her.
She possessed immense power, a revered status, and countless followers.
But she wasn't happy at all.
But she wasn't happy at all.
Because she lost far too much.
Time is the most ruthless killer. It won't spare you because you're strong, nor will it be kind to you because you're kind. It just flows quietly, taking away everything you cherish, and then continues forward without looking back.
Bi Ji stood in the dense forest, a faint mist rising in her emerald green eyes.
Familiar faces flashed through her mind.
Those faces—some honest, some cunning, some dignified, some gentle—were once her best friends, her closest companions, and her most trusted comrades.
But now, they are all gone.
One after another, they left her.
She still remembered the kind-hearted Earth Bear. It was one of her earliest followers, gentle in nature yet incredibly strong, always like a mountain, shielding her from the wind and rain. It had once patted its chest and grinned, saying to her, "Lady Bi Ji, with me, the old bear, here, no one can hurt you!"
But later, it died.
He died at the hands of a group of human Soul Master.
The group of human Soul Master, after acquiring its Soul Ring and Soul Bone, laid a trap, completely surrounding it. It fought desperately, killing more than a dozen people, but in the end, it was worn down by the endless stream of human Soul Master.
When Brigitte arrived, it was only breathing its last breath. Its body was riddled with holes and blood flowed all over the floor. But when it saw Brigitte, it still showed that honest smile and used its last bit of strength to say, "Lord Brigitte... I... I didn't embarrass you..."
Then, it closed its eyes forever.
Bi Ji still remembered the cunning Wind Spirit Fox. It was her scout, incredibly fast and with top-notch intelligence capabilities, always able to warn of danger before it arrived. It loved to play pranks and steal Bi Ji's treasured spirit fruits. Every time it was caught, it would blink its bright, lively eyes and pitifully beg for mercy.
But later, it also died.
He died from the celestial Heavenly Tribulation that marked the boundary of ten thousand years.
When it had cultivated for 100,000 years, Heavenly Tribulation descended. Nine bolts of heavenly lightning struck, each more terrifying than the last. It fought with all its might and withstood eight of them, but when the ninth bolt struck, it ultimately could not withstand it.
Bi Ji wanted to help it, but the Heavenly Tribulation could only be faced by herself. Any external intervention would only make the Heavenly Tribulation more terrifying. She could only watch helplessly as the heavenly lightning struck her best friend and reduced it to ashes.
Not even bones were left behind.
Bi Ji still remembered the majestic Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. It was a powerful overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, with a volatile temper and overwhelming combat strength. It once fought three human Titled Douluo single-handedly without being at a disadvantage. It held Bi Ji in high esteem, and every time it saw Bi Ji, it would suppress its ferocity and bow respectfully.
But later, it also died.
He died from being hunted by Soul Beast.
An even more terrifying Ferocious Beast, seeking to expand its territory, invaded its land. The two Ferocious Beast fought for three days and three nights, their battle causing the heavens to collapse and the earth to crack, changing the color of the Mountain and River. In the end, it perished together with the other Ferocious Beast on the land it had guarded its entire life, in a way that led to their mutual destruction.
When Bi Ji found it, its body was already cold. But its eyes were still wide open, staring intently at the sky, as if protesting the injustice of fate.
One after another.
Her friends, her companions, her followers, and so on, disappeared one by one over the long years.
Some died from being hunted by human Soul Master, some from the Heavenly Tribulation at the ten-thousand-year mark, and some from killing each other among Soul Beast.
Every time, Bi Ji wanted to save them.
But each time, she was powerless to do anything.
No matter how strong her healing abilities were, she couldn't save a soul that had already perished; no matter how vibrant her life force was, she couldn't mend a broken string of life.
She could only watch helplessly as those she cherished disappeared from her life, one by one.
In the end, she was all alone.
Alone, living in this world.
This feeling is worse than death.
Therefore, ten thousand years ago, when the Divine Realm still existed and the Soul Beast Clan still had hope, Bi Ji had already begun to consider whether humans and Soul Beast could coexist.
She was tired of killing.
She was tired of watching her friends die one by one at the hands of human Soul Master.
She was tired of this endless cycle of hatred.
She wanted change.
They wanted to find a way for humans and Soul Beast to coexist peacefully.
At that time, Bi Ji also tried her best to promote a peace agreement between Soul Beast and humans. As a representative of the Ferocious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, she negotiated with the top human experts, hoping to reach a consensus and end this war that had lasted for ten thousand years.
Negotiations were possible, but not without success.
Human Soul Master need Soul Ring and Soul Bone to enhance their strength, but Soul Ring and Soul Bone can only be obtained from Soul Beast. This is a deadlock, an unsolvable deadlock.
Unless, of course, humanity can find a way to obtain Soul Ring without hunting Soul Beast.
And this method actually came about later.
The Spirit Pagoda.
That organization founded by Huo Yuhao, which claims to be able to provide Soul Ring for human Soul Master in place of Soul Beast.
Bi Ji still remembered that day when Huo Yuhao and his companions came to the Star Dou Great Forest and found her.
They said they needed a Emerald Swan Soul Ring to heal Mu En.
Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion Master at the Shrek Academy, is a top expert in the human world and a truly respectable elder. He has made many efforts for the peace between humans and Soul Beast.
Looking into Huo Yuhao's sincere eyes, a glimmer of hope ignited in Bi Ji's heart.
She took the opportunity to "offer" Emerald Swan with ten thousand years of cultivation.
That Emerald Swan was her kin, her junior. It was still young, with a long lifespan and limitless potential.
But Bi Ji still gave it away.
