Back to the beginning (zhou yichen X Zhu yan/Zhao Yuanzhou)✅✅

Chapter 1

After Zhao Yuanzhou's death, it rained for three days, and the people who had been demonized by Wen Zongyu returned to normal. With everything coming to an end, only three of the six members of the original Demon Hunting Team remained.

After entrusting the Demon Hunting Bureau to Pei Sijing, Zhuo Yichen set out on a quest to find Zhao Yuanzhou's consciousness. Only the Cloud Light Sword could sense the consciousness he had previously stripped away. No matter how long it took, he was determined to find Wen Xiao and wait for Zhao Yuanzhou's return.

Zhuo Yichen traveled all over the twenty-eight mountains in the wilderness and everywhere in the human world but still couldn't find that spiritual consciousness. Sometimes he would wonder if he had not separated that trace of spiritual consciousness at all, or if everything he had experienced was just a dream.

Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years-the passage of time was meaningless to Zhuo Yichen. Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing were mere mortals, their lives limited to a hundred years. He, however, had become a great demon, his lifespan immeasurable, yet he wandered the world like a ghost, with no home or place to return.

Zhuo Yichen stayed with Wen Xiao until she left. Before she left, she asked Zhuo Yichen, "Xiao Zhuo, who is Zhao Yuanzhou to you?" Without waiting for Zhuo Yichen to answer, she continued, "Zhao Yuanzhou is a liar who loves to act, but his eyes never lie."

Zhuo Yichen pondered for a long time. Was Zhao Yuanzhou someone close to him? It seemed different. They had a grudge against each other for killing his father and brother. But being a vessel for evil energy, controlled by it, wasn't what Zhao Yuanzhou had imagined. When he became a demon, controlled by the violent demonic energy, that feeling of helplessness made him understand Zhao Yuanzhou.

As time passed, the drop of Bingyi's blood that he absorbed completely merged with him. He possessed Bingyi's memory. It turned out that Bingyi and Yinglong were not only close friends but also lovers who had been together for tens of thousands of years.

Yinglong transformed into a star for the sake of the Great Wilderness, and even though Bingyi had dispersed all his demonic power, he was unable to revive Yinglong's consciousness. Having lost Yinglong, Bingyi begged Nuwa to dissolve his demonic elixir and become a mortal. A mortal's life span was limited to a hundred years. He wanted to see the world cherished by Yinglong and to accompany him.

Nuwa agreed to Bingyi's request, but left a drop of Bingyi's demon blood and sealed it in a five-colored stone, giving him a chance to regret. Bingyi adopted an orphan in the mortal world and used a secret method to transfer his own blood into the orphan's body so that he could inherit the Yunguang Sword to slay demons and protect the world. The orphan with Bingyi's blood was the ancestor of the Zhuo family.

Zhuo Yichen in this life is the reincarnation of Bingyi and Zhao Yuanzhou is the reincarnation of Yinglong. How unfair is the way of heaven? Why is it so harsh on him? In his previous life, he was entrusted with the power of creation and committed suicide for the sake of the wilderness and turned into a star. He had the opportunity to reincarnate but became a container of evil energy between heaven and earth.

Returning to the Bingyi Forbidden Land, the place where the dragon bones were originally placed was now empty.

"Zhao Yuanzhou, I still can't find you after ten thousand years." Zhuo Yichen said as he forced out his inner elixir and crushed it without hesitation. "Zhao Yuanzhou, I seem to see you." As his figure disappeared, Zhuo Yichen saw the illusory figure of Zhao Yuanzhou.

What Zhuo Yichen didn't know was that Zhao Yuanzhou's consciousness was actually always by his side. Seeing Zhuo Yichen searching for him all over the world, Zhao Yuanzhou felt guilty and distressed.

He had originally planned that as long as everything went according to plan and the Cloud Light Sword ended it, he would be free, but he had ultimately overlooked emotions. Family, friendship, and love gave him a glimmer of desire to live.

However, after all the calculations, Wen Zongyu still walked along the path he had originally planned.

"Xiao Zhuo" Zhao Yuanzhou called softly, and the two illusory spiritual consciousnesses hugged each other tightly but slowly dissipated.

"Ah," a simple sigh emanated from the depths of the forbidden area. "After all, the heavens owe you two a great deal. May you live a peaceful and happy life again."

Zhuo Yichen opened his eyes and saw the familiar roof. He was a little dazed. Hadn't he crushed his inner elixir to commit suicide? How did he end up back in his room at the Demon Hunting Bureau? His body felt heavy and he didn't have any demonic power left. Could he really have returned to the past?

"Xiaochen, are you still feeling uncomfortable now that you're awake?" A familiar figure appeared before him, his warm hand covering his forehead. "The fever has subsided. Xiaochen, the weather is cold recently, so remember to wear more clothes when you go out. You're not in good health and are prone to fever."

"......Brother" His throat was dry and he could only utter a call.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhuo Yixuan asked with concern, seeing his brother's tearful eyes. "Did you have a nightmare again?"

"It's okay." Zhuo Yichen shook his head at his brother's concerned eyes. Everything would be fine and there was still time to stop it.

"I'm glad you're okay. Have a good rest." Zhuo Yixuan tucked the quilt in, patted his brother, and left quietly after seeing that he had fallen asleep.

When Tiandao was looking back, he inserted a book of skills into Zhuo Yichen's memory, saying that it could suppress and purify the evil spirit, and also brought back his inner elixir from his previous life to the present.

After Zhuo Yixuan left, Zhuo Yichen, who should have fallen asleep, opened his eyes and wondered how to get his father and brother to agree to take him with them when they went to Kunlun Mountain, or to follow them secretly?
