Chapter 3071: Chapter 3069: No Longer Memories, But Reality

“This should be my last visit to this time-space node, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to see how the future unfolds from here on… I really wish I had a few more opportunities to come here… at least to see Senior Song safely prove his Dao.”

“Sometimes, I wonder if I’m dreaming, if the me in the dream is desperately changing the past, changing everyone’s past. But when I wake up, the future remains unchanged.” Soft Feather’s lips left the rim of the wine cup.

Merely changing the past cannot change the future.

She was beginning to struggle to hold on.

But fortunately, this time she finally saw a glimmer of hope.

“Only after reaching the ‘transcendence’ mentioned in the information from Senior White, the Wielder of the Will, no longer limited by time, space, dimensions, and everything else, is it possible to twist all of the past, present, and future together.”

Senior Song here is more lively than ever, bouncing around, even though a salted fish, he is spirited and causes mischief.

Those who cause mischief usually die quickly… but as long as they don’t die, they become legendary figures!

So, Senior Song will become a true legend.

“I shouldn’t drink any more.” Soft Feather gently put the wine cup aside.

The wine was personally blended by Lady Kunna, far more potent than the legendary Immortal Wine. Any more and she might just fall asleep on the spot.

And even though she was being very restrained, Soft Feather was slightly tipsy.

“I’ll stay a little longer.” She leaned against the tree, softly humming a short melody.

For some reason, as long as she stayed at this time-space node, her mood would lighten.

She looked at the Senior members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group who were drunk in the distance, familiar yet strange.

It made her reluctant to leave.

If she could choose… she would want this moment to last forever.

After a long while.

Soft Feather slowly closed her eyes, the elegance about her gradually fading.

Intoxication flushed her cheeks red as she leaned against the trunk and fell asleep.

…

…

In the main world, inside a resting palace in a fragment of the ancient Heavenly City.

Sixteen struggled to push Su Clan’s Seven, who still wanted more drink, back to bed.

“Should we tie up Seven?” suggested the ghost spirit fairy maiden from within.

“No need, she’s already asleep,” said Sixteen with a sweet smile.

Then, she stood up, pushed open the palace gate, and gazed into the distance… immediately spotting Soft Feather sleeping on the tree branch.

“It’s the normal Soft Feather now,” the ghost spirit fairy maiden said.

You couldn’t tell the difference from the outside.

But from her ‘aura,’ one could determine if it was the normal Soft Feather or not.

“Yeah, Future Child must have left already. To be honest, the future Soft Feather really moves my heart,” Sixteen confessed sincerely.

The Soft Feather of the future is much more threatening than the current one…

The elegance in her very bones, and the occasional sorrowful expression in her brows made even Sixteen’s heart stir—if it wasn’t for Song Shuhang, she would be willing to choose Soft Feather as her dao companion, no joke.

“She is indeed moving… Wait, this sort of heart movement isn’t right, we must have been influenced by Fairy Cheng Lin,” the ghost spirit fairy maiden hastily interjected.

A moment later, she added, “Moreover, I think you need to be concerned about yourself. We are bound by a contract, and I can clearly feel something is off with you. I’ve finally made up my mind to align with you; you better not have any issues.”

“My condition is actually just… my time as the auxiliary consciousness has come, and soon I’ll switch to running in the background. Then, the real Sixteen will be switched back. Don’t worry, the fully restored me will have all the memories and emotions. The real me has always been operating in the background, there’s no real difference between us. Senior Sister Ye Si, you don’t need to worry about any mishaps,” Sixteen explained.

Ghost Spirit Fairy Maiden: “…”

You personalities are such players. Last time, I heard you mention that you wanted to restore the real Sixteen. Has it been ongoing in the background all this time?

Su Clan’s Sixteen smiled as she opened an umbrella, took a light leap, and jumped onto the rooftop of the Heavenly Palace Fragment, sprinting across it toward the depths of the main world.

The Inner World Assistant appeared before her, floating and silently guiding her way.

The place they were heading to was Song Shuhang’s treasure trove.

In the main world, the Inner World Assistant had a clear record of all the treasures Song Shuhang had hidden.

If Song Shuhang needed to use them when spending money on upgrades, she could dig them up immediately.

However… the place she was taking Su Clan’s Sixteen to was not a common treasure.

It was a safety measure once left behind for Song Shuhang by ‘Song Wood’.

“Once the real me fully recovers, that thin-skinned, proud character will come back. The real me would never do something bold. So before the assistive personality switches to the background, I want to do something big for my main body!” The ‘Tyrannical Song’s heart’ in Su Clan’s Sixteen’s chest began to beat powerfully.

Clearly, she was not as bold as she claimed to be; she was equally nervous at this moment.

As she ran… scenes from the past surfaced in her mind.

Last year, after Sixteen formally began the ‘Spirit River Su Clan Trial’, a copy of her personality with most of Sixteen’s memories was born.

When this personality was first created, it was like a blank slate.

‘Memories’ for her felt more like watching a very long movie—part of her character setting, somewhat illusory, not quite real.

Among them, the memories of interacting with Song Shuhang left a deeper impression on her—these were the most recent memories and parts of Sixteen’s life where her emotions were the most volatile.

Add to that, during the secluded meditation, Song Shuhang had Su Clan’s Seven send the ‘skeletal dragon’s withered vine’ to assist her.

So, the pure and blank slate she was began to look forward to the end of her secluded meditation, to meet the ‘Song Shuhang’ from her memories.

Several months later, she came out of secluded meditation.

She felt somewhat apprehensive.

The actual first encounter… happened after she was tricked away by Senior Dharma King Creation at the end of a live broadcast.

It was raining.

She held an umbrella and walked toward the passenger transport center.

At that time, she did not know that Song Shuhang had quietly come over to pick her up—because according to the chat records in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, Shuhang should have been in space, having been launched there by Senior White.

The rain grew heavier.

She thought about how to meet ‘Song Shuhang’ in the future, and was slightly distracted.

Under the eaves in the distance,

A big fellow leaned against the wall, his body soaked by the rain, every breath turning into mist.

All of a sudden, this big fellow jumped out.

It startled her.

Without recognizing who it was, she instinctively gave him a palm strike.

It wasn’t until after he was sent flying, letting out an ‘ahhh~ah’ scream,

That she truly met ‘Song Shuhang’ for the first time, in the true sense of the word.

He was more interesting than the ‘memory,’ and had changed a lot.

But he was more real and tangible.

At that moment, Song Shuhang became more than just a character from her memories; he was a real entity to her.
