After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 52: 3 Questions and 3 Answers

"There's no need for guilt, benefactor. Since you're here, make the best of it. She is you, and you are her. Our universe is the result of countless overlapping universes. In each parallel universe, there may exist another version of yourself, another world, only in a different time and space, a different dimension. Countless parallel spaces in the universe unfold different endings, always remaining undisturbed by each other. But some people, by chance, go to another world that doesn't originally belong to them. As for Xia Li in this world, her fate has run its course, and she should return to her original world."

Ali argued loudly, "No, that's not true. She, she's still alive. She even went to the Immortal Realm with Xing Beiluo."

The old monk smiled knowingly: "Aren't you still alive now?"

"I……"

"How do you know that it will be Xia Li from this world who ultimately goes to the Immortal Realm, and not you?" The old monk glanced at him and unleashed another thunderous remark.

"How do you know that Xia Li in this world isn't you?"

Ali was incredulous and opened her mouth to refute, but didn't know what to say.

The old monk said, "You did not replace her; you were her all along."

"Then do you know how I should get back?"

"you……"

Suddenly the ground shook violently, and everything became unreal. The old monk was still talking, but she could no longer hear his voice.

After a while, Ali opened her eyes from reality. She found herself lying in Yu Yang's arms.

Seeing that she had woken up, Yu Yang happily recounted what had happened: "Ah, you're finally awake. You suddenly fainted just now, and I couldn't wake you up no matter what I did. I figured you fainted because you were staring at the Buddha statue so intently that I just blew it up. Luckily, you did wake up."

Ali: "..."

She wondered if she should stay asleep. Otherwise, she couldn't help but want to slap Yu Yang to death.

"This time you really meant well but ended up doing something wrong."

She clearly knew how to get back right away.

Ah Li was determined to find the answer. She ran to the altar and kept touching and shaking it. She then hurriedly ran to piece together the scattered statues on the ground. However, the shattered statues no longer shone and could not give her any answer.

She even slashed Yu Yang's hand, but no matter how much blood dripped onto the ground, it didn't look discolored.

Perhaps because his wound was a little painful, Yu Yang's voice was somewhat shrill: "What are you doing?"

At this moment, Ali seemed to have lost her mind: "I want to activate the golden light, but he hasn't given me an answer yet."

Yu Yang was completely bewildered: "What golden light? What's the answer?"

Upon hearing this, Ali's expression changed drastically. Could it be that only she had witnessed what had happened earlier?

No wonder Yu Yang said he fainted because he was staring at the statue; it turns out the two of them saw completely different things.

But why is this happening?

She was about to find out how to get back.

She is not reconciled!

Ah-Li touches everything, trying to find a way to see the old monk again.

Persistence pays off; she accidentally triggered the mechanism.

Hearing the sound, Ali's eyes filled with anticipation.

Little did they know that this was a trap set by a rain of arrows. By the time the two realized what was happening, a deluge of arrows was already raining down on them.

Fortunately, Yu Yang was quick-witted. He leaped to Ali's side, drew his sword, and together they fended off the rain of arrows.

Ah Li quickly unleashed a spiritual energy barrier.

It was only then that she noticed that her milky-white spiritual power was wrapped in a layer of electric light.

However, the rain of arrows seemed inexhaustible; under the relentless, dense barrage, Ah Li's spiritual energy shield shattered.

The two men fought back as they retreated, until they returned to the tunnel they had come from, at which point the rain of arrows finally stopped.

Yu Yang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, but he was also a little annoyed: "I'm not saying anything, but what are you babbling about?" The two of them almost lost their lives just now.

Ali ignored him and sat down dejectedly.

Is it possible that I can never go back?

Ali held her head, feeling sad: "We can't go back, we can't go back..."

Yu Yang pulled her aside and asked, "Where can't you go back to? Why do you want to go back?"

Yes, why should I go back?

What was there in that world that made it worth returning to?

Parents? Friends? Lover? Hometown? Or something else? In her past life, she was an orphan, living alone until her thirties, without friends, without a lover, only her sensitive and suspicious self. She didn't fit into that world.

It seems there's nothing I absolutely have to go back to.

Why did I break down like this?

No, her desire to go back was an escape. Deep down, Ali felt that she had harmed the original owner of this body, so she thought that if she went back, the original Xia Li could come back to life.

Fortunately, as a psychologist, she quickly found the reason for her emotional breakdown. She grew up under the red flag, and the education she received did not allow her to kill indiscriminately.

Knowing the whole story, Ali carefully recalled her conversation with the old monk. In particular, the phrase "Since you're here, make the best of it" kept swirling in her mind, calming Ali's emotions.

She carefully analyzed every word of her conversation with the old man.

Yes, I've already asked three questions, and even if I could summon them, I couldn't ask any more.

Therefore, Yu Yang's breaking of the statue was both out of her eagerness to save people and also because her fate with that old monk had come to an end.

After thinking everything through, Ali suddenly understood.

The system said sullenly: "You are who you always have been."

Just then, Ali suddenly remembered that she was Xia Li. In her previous life, when she was suffering and on the verge of death, she vaguely saw a powerful phantom that brought her to Earth. By chance, she eventually returned here.

Therefore, she actually has memories of three lifetimes. The so-called plot in the book is her real experience in her previous lives. This book is actually a memoir written by Yi Huan based on their experiences!

Whether it was her imagination or not, Ali felt a lightness in her body, and the air around her no longer felt oppressive.

Previously, she had only identified with the character Xia Li. Now, she felt truly integrated into this world.

She stood up, straightened her back, and looked around. To be honest, the tunnel was a bit dark, but it was still very beautiful and serene. Looking at the starry sky, Ali suddenly noticed two different stars. She pointed them out to Yu Yang: "Hey, Yu Yang, why are those two stars over there glowing red?"

“Yeah, it seems to be bigger than the other stars.” Yu Yang chimed in.

Ali carefully examined the two stars: "Wait a minute, why are they getting bigger and bigger?"

"No, it's not getting bigger, it's...it's getting closer to us!" Yu Yang frowned.

The two quickly prepared their defenses.

what's the situation!

Having survived such a close call, surely there's more to come?

"Now they're all as big as lanterns."

"Be careful, they're probably coming for us." Yu Yang instinctively pulled her behind him.

Although I was quite touched, but—"Nonsense, is there anyone else here?" Ali couldn't stand it anymore and gave him a flick on the forehead.

The ever-growing unidentified flying object finally arrived, accompanied by a roar: "Slay—"

Like rolling thunder!
