Chapter 4249: Memories and Power?

"Hehe… You cannot command me." Ye Miaoyin smiled faintly.

"Ah! You, you!!" The other Ye Miaoyin was furious.

Xiao Fan looked at Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan: "Brother-in-law, please leave for a moment."

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan: "…Fine."

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan left helplessly; he also understood that what followed must be a secret, and Xiao Fan did not want outsiders to know.

Once Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan had left, Xiao Fan glanced at the light shadow formed by the star chart and threw it directly back into his body.

Along the way, Xiao Fan isolated the star chart so that the other party could not perceive the outside world…

At this moment, the star chart cursed loudly.

"Xiao Fan, you are not human! You don't even trust me? Ah!!"

"…"

However, no matter how much the star chart cursed, Xiao Fan did not respond.

In truth, it was not that Xiao Fan did not trust the star chart, but rather he was worried that the star chart would tell Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan.

There was no other way.

Now that the first master of the star chart had appeared, Xiao Fan had to be on guard.

If something were to go wrong, it would not just be his own life at stake, but also those of his family and friends.

"Alright, you can speak now, Miaoyin." Xiao Fan smiled.

With only Xiao Fan present, the other Ye Miaoyin did not resist either.

"She is me…" Ye Miaoyin said softly.

"She is you? What do you mean?!" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"Hehehe… It's simple. She and I were originally one entity; we were just separated, understand?" the other Ye Miaoyin said slowly.

"Separated? When were you separated? Could it be…" Xiao Fan was stunned, looking at Ye Miaoyin in disbelief.

"That's right, it was in the previous life… And it's not just me; there are other versions of me. They are all me, yet they are also individual entities." Ye Miaoyin shook her head helplessly.

"How do you know about these things?!" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"After coming into contact with the seven-colored crystal, those memories awakened… I was the one who opened the Seal of the crystal. Only I, with the awakened memories, could open the crystal." Ye Miaoyin said slowly.

"Only you, with the restored memories?!"

"That's right…" Ye Miaoyin nodded.

"I… I still don't understand. Can you explain it more clearly?" Xiao Fan looked confused, feeling like his head was in a mess.

"Idiot." The other Ye Miaoyin spoke urgently: "Simply put, our past selves sealed away our power and memories, which also included the method to return. Once we obtain them, we can leave. Do you understand now?!"

"You… memories and power?"

"That's right, that seven-colored crystal contained a portion of that power and those memories." The other Ye Miaoyin nodded slowly.

"Then who are you?!"

"I have always been inside the crystal, waiting for an opportunity. I can see through Karma. When I saw you, I knew very clearly that you could bring me to my other self… Therefore, it wasn't you who chose me, but I who chose you. Understand? Even the feeling you had back then that I was very suitable for me was an influence I placed on your mind…" the other Ye Miaoyin said slowly.

"You, you… you influenced me?!" Xiao Fan was shocked.

"Nonsense, it was me. Why are you so surprised? Calm down." The other Ye Miaoyin said slowly.

Xiao Fan: "…"

Xiao Fan roughly understood now. The seven-colored crystal he had obtained back then was left behind by Ye Miaoyin, or rather, it was the power left behind by the former Ye Miaoyin.

The other party was waiting for Ye Miaoyin's return.

Handing the crystal into Ye Miaoyin's hands was the beginning of that return.

"Um… what if I hadn't given the crystal to Miaoyin? What would have happened then?!" Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.

In Xiao Fan's view, the act of discovering the crystal and precisely handing it over to Ye Miaoyin was simply inconceivable.

"When her Realm rose to the Dominator Realm, she would naturally awaken her memories, but… she was Cultivating too slowly. Who could have known she would be born in such a place? Besides, so much time had passed—I have forgotten how long—and most of the split souls had already returned, so… I descended, specifically to find her. Otherwise, even if she died and entered Reincarnation again, the matter would not be over."
