“Mistress, is it really you? Have you really been resurrected?” Qing He covered her mouth with both hands, still unable to believe that the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had truly come back to life.

Unable to restrain herself, she stepped forward and embraced her, needing to confirm that she wasn’t dreaming.

“It’s me. I’m alive again.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy smiled and patted Qing He’s back, comforting her gently, just as she had done in ancient times after risking her life to save Qing He from crises.

“Mistress, I’ve waited for you for so long. I thought I would never see you again...”

Qing He’s voice was choked with tears. Realizing she had overstepped, she hurriedly released the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, but the latter stepped forward and embraced her again, whispering in her ear, “Little He, it’s good to see you’re safe.”

When the Everlasting Immortal Fairy let go, Qing He’s eyes were already red from crying.

Hui Doudou glanced at the Left Historian Immortal kneeling on the ground and found the situation rather dull.

The battle earlier had concluded quickly. Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng had looked up to spectate, but before they had time to mourn for the unlucky Left Historian Immortal, he was already battered and bruised, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

While watching the battle, Yun Mengmeng and Qing He had also casually caught Daoist Priest Mingyuan when he tried to escape.

Lu Yang felt that he had lived up to Chieftain Jin Tan’s help in forging his five-star spirit chef identity. Although he hadn’t followed Jin Tan’s arrangement to demand legendary ingredients, by helping to capture Daoist Priest Mingyuan, he had somewhat aided Jin Tan in achieving his wish of becoming the Spirit Chef Alliance Leader.

“First-in-Command, I knew you would come to save me!” Yun Mengmeng bounced over to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. She hadn’t been too panicked when facing the Left Historian Immortal because she believed her First-in-Command would come.

“Hold on, the Mistress is the ‘First-in-Command’ you mentioned?!” Qing He’s face was full of shock, looking as if she had just heard a ghost story.

She should have realized it when she learned that Mengmeng possesses an Everlasting Incipient Dao Fruit, but at the time, she was too busy trying to save them and didn’t think along those lines.

“Then the ‘Second-in-Command’ you always talk about is...”

“This one here! He is the Second-in-Command of our Everlasting Lineage!” Yun Mengmeng solemnly pushed Lu Yang forward.

“Senior Qing He, h-hello. I’ve often heard the Immortal Fairy speak of you.” Lu Yang smiled sheepishly. I can’t help but sense that Senior Qing He’s gaze is somewhat disapproving.

Naturally, Qing He wouldn’t look kindly upon Lu Yang. According to Mengmeng’s account, this person takes advantage of the Mistress’s favor to pester her constantly and is full of lies. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Fortunately, the Mistress has a childlike, innocent heart and hasn’t been corrupted.

“Divine Transfiguration Stage?” Qing He raised an eyebrow. How did a Divine Transfiguration cultivator become the Second-in-Command of the Everlasting Lineage?

My aptitude is mediocre. Despite following in the Mistress’s footsteps, I’ve tried to condense an Everlasting Incipient Dao Fruit several times but always failed. In the end, I had no choice but to settle for a Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit, losing the qualification to become a member of the Everlasting Lineage.

What has this kid done to earn the Mistress’s favor?

“Don’t judge the Second-in-Command just because his cultivation is low. He possessed an immortal body condensed from incense in the Buddhist Kingdom. Even the Timekeeper Divine Lord and some Emperor-Lord’s clone were no match for him!” Yun Mengmeng defended Lu Yang’s reputation. The Second-in-Command is a truly remarkable person.

“An immortal body in the Buddhist Kingdom? The Timekeeper Divine Lord? You were the one who acted at Xitian Temple?” Qing He was astonished. She had thought that the battle was Yun Mengmeng’s doing.

That mysterious immortal at the Battle of Xitian Temple possessed an Everlasting Incipient Dao Fruit. Does that mean he can use it?

“Yes, isn’t Xiao Yangzi amazing?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy shared her joy with Qing He. Though Qing He considered their relationship that of superior and subordinate, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy regarded them as close friends who talked about everything.

“Speaking of my resurrection, I owe it all to Xiao Yangzi. He joined the Everlasting Creed, learned of the method to revive me, and inadvertently called out my name and title.”

Qing He’s expression turned serious. So it was Lu Yang who resurrected the Mistress. I was rather discourteous earlier.

But even if he has resurrected the Mistress, that doesn’t mean he should be deceiving her every day with sweet talk.

Hui Doudou stared fixedly at Lu Yang. It’s all because of you. If you hadn’t meddled and resurrected Everlasting, none of this would be happening!

At that thought, Hui Doudou’s grip on the Left Historian Immortal’s head tightened, making it so painful that he thought she wanted to kill him.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! If you put it that way, I also contributed to resurrecting the Everlasting Immortal!”

“You?”

Everyone turned to look at the Left Historian Immortal in surprise.

“I was the one who founded the Everlasting Creed.”

The Left Historian Immortal had been searching for an Incipient Dao Fruit that could help him survive the Silent Annihilation Immortal’s attacks. Although he had a Rejuvenation Incipient Dao Fruit, which could boost one’s vitality, the most suitable for survival was undoubtedly an Everlasting Incipient Dao Fruit.

But unlike the Rejuvenation Incipient Dao Fruit, the Everlasting Incipient Dao Fruit was not easily formed. It was extremely rare. Throughout the combined three hundred thousand years of the Ember Legacy, Great Qian, and Great Yu dynasties, no one had ever condensed an Everlasting Incipient Dao Fruit.

Hence, he established the Everlasting Creed, hoping to condense an Everlasting Incipient Dao Fruit through the power of incense.

Then, he encountered Yun Zhi in the Great Xia. After a brief exchange, he fled in panic and dared not return, instead sending clones to the Great Xia. Later, along with the destruction of the Everlasting Creed, his clones were eliminated, and he ended up empty-handed.

But there is no need to mention all this. Claiming credit to save my life is the most important.

“To resurrect the Everlasting Immortal, I followed the example of the Ember Legacy Dynasty and founded the Everlasting Creed!”

“Who are you trying to fool? If you wanted to resurrect the Immortal Fairy, would you have gotten her immortal name wrong?” Lu Yang exposed the Left Historian Immortal’s lie outright.

To resurrect the Immortal Fairy, one has to recite her immortal title correctly. The immortal worshipped by the Everlasting Creed was called “Everlasting Immortal.” How could the resurrection have succeeded?

“You clearly established the Everlasting Creed to obtain an Everlasting Incipient Dao Fruit through the power of incense faith!”

Realizing that everyone’s attitude toward him was growing increasingly hostile and that his life was in imminent danger, the Left Historian Immortal was desperate to prove his worth and blurted out the secret he had kept buried in his heart.

“I know who the mastermind behind the scenes is!”

At these words, everyone was shocked, even Hui Doudou.

Everything had stemmed from the mastermind killing the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.

Yet until now, no one knew the true identity of the mastermind or why they wanted to kill the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.

“My Insight Dao Fruit could perceive the ten directions, heaven above and earth below, and the past, present, and future, all with perfect clarity.

“After I condensed the Insight Dao Fruit, the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the others asked me to observe who had killed the Everlasting Immortal.”

Lu Yang remembered Ao Ling mentioning this. She said that the Left Historian Immortal had strained himself using his Dao Fruit to the point of sweating profusely, yet still failed to discern anything of value.

The Left Historian Immortal’s voice quivered. “Actually, I saw the mastermind. It was the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the other three!

“The four of them wanted to obtain the Everlasting Dao Fruit, but the Everlasting Immortal occupied that position. Thus, they devised a plan to kill her, leaving the position of Everlasting vacant!”

The four culprits had surrounded me menacingly, asking me who the murderer was. I would have had to be tired of living to dare tell the truth.
