As Li Na tries to access her daughter's memory, Li Jing goes unconscious due to the immense pain.
Then, all of a sudden, Li Jing's memories gleamed, as if the darkness within her memories had finally enlightened up!
A handsome long-blue-haired young man rose up from her memories, holding her, speaking to her, and hugging her.
Some memories rose up more, with them fighting with monsters, eating together, enjoying life together, and sleeping together.
Another memory rose up.
A young man who was looking at the waterfall turned and looked at her.
His eyes have peculiar black sclera eyes and red pupils as he kisses her and looks at her.
His smile is genteel and sophisticated, and his voice is soft and beautiful, as if listening to him will wash away all your problems.
Then he looks away.
"Li Jing… I am so glad that I met you! When I was a kid, I never had friends that wouldn't stay with me without an ulterior motive. Thus, I grew up with just being myself and decided to stand alone without others. I eat by myself anyway. I sit in my room after hours with the moon and think of who will stay with me without trying to kill me. And I think if I died, would someone cry? Would they even remember my face?"
In her memories, Li Jing looks up to him and speaks.
"Ren… Why are you telling me this? " Li Jing's voice is worried and scared.
Her husband, named Ren, looks at her and speaks.
"Nothing much… It's good thing I decided to leave home, packed up and moved far away from my past, and laughed about it. However, I realize something is not right, and sometimes I find that I am not alright at all. Is it a sin to be weak? Is being a coward a sin? I hate myself for being like this! I want to prove to them that I am here as well! I want my father to recognize me as his son as well! "
Then Li Jing saw her partner, Ren, tear up through his emotions. So she comforts him.
She hugs him tightly and speaks.
"Ren… Ever since you lived here, you've improved yourself. You're already strong, stronger than me. So I think if you go back home with your family, I bet they will recognize you fully."
"But…"
"If you're worried about leaving me, then just come back after you've settled everything at your home. After all, I will always be here with you. I will wait for your return. I will never leave you. So promise me one thing! "
"W-what is it?" Ren looked at her and asked
"Promise that you'll come back here... for me with your smile on your face, promise?"
Li Jing put her hands on Ren's cheeks, pinched him, and forcibly let him see her smiling face with her eyes tearing up.
"I will..."
Ren Look at her firmly and answer her resolutely.
He kisses her, pushes her down to the grass, holds her, and starts to remove her clothes little by little.
Another memory rose from that moment!
Li Jing congratulates him on being a dad.
Then another memory rose up.
Ren's helping Li Jing all around the house.
And one after another, the memories of Li Jing with Ren keep appearing.
Until Li Jing, the owner of the body, shows up!
Long Jiang lay motionless on the ground, naked, inside the spiritual core of Li Jing.
His appearance is young and healthy.
With his golden hair, incredible physique, and white smooth yet tough skin, his whole body was truly indeed worthy of being an Emperor.
Little by little, he starts to open his golden-eyes, and finds himself in infinite brightness.
"W-what the... Where am I?!"
Then a familiar voice is suddenly heard throughout the infinite light.
"You're finally awake, mister."
"!"
Long Jiang turns around and sees a familiar silhouette!
It's Li Jing!
The body he possesses
"Mister, I know that this situation confuses you so much. But I don't have much time to explain to you everything. So I just want to tell you 'thank you' for taking care of my kids, and I am very grateful for a nice person, such as you, taking over my body. "
"Wait...! Are you really dead? "
"Well, as a matter of fact, yes, I just left my spiritual essence in my spiritual mana core."
"If you left spiritual essence in your core, then why didn't you come back?!"
"Because I made a promise... a promise to stay and wait for him no matter what and regardless of the circumstances. And besides, I've seen and heard all of it. It's hard to believe he's already gone. I guess it's worth the wait and knowing that he's never coming back? "
A tear from Li Jing's eyes has overflowed as she speaks emotionally.
"It was vexing that, no matter how hard I tried to wait for him, fate always got in the way."
By then as well, she herself had started to crumble piece by piece, like dust in the wind.
"...Mister. I know you are a good person, and I know you have done this before, so... Please take care of our kids for us. That's our one last wish, from me and on behalf of my husband. Please..."
Long Jiang sat down comfortably, cupped his hands, and lowered his head in front of Li Jing.
"I, Long Jiang, will do all to make your kids happy and promise them to live and see the promising wonder land! So please be happy in your next life with your husband by your side! "
Li Jing smiled gracefully as half his body started to fade away.
"Thank you so much..."
The soft and sweet voice of Li Jing as she passes away from her spiritual mana core.
"I will never let you two down. God gave me a chance to live again! I will not waste any time in creating another magnificent, faultless country! A paradise place where your kids can live peacefully! "
Little by little, Long Jiang has also started to fade away.
Then he awakens from Li Jing's body once more.
"Li Jing!!! Are you ok!? I am sorry that I had to open all the paths blocking your memories forcibly! I never thought your husband put a lot of spiritual needles in your mind! "
As soon as Long Jiang woke up, who's now completely taking over Li Jing's body,
She immediately saw her mother crying in concern while holding her in her arms.
"It's alright, mother... I completely remember him. T-thanks to you, now I know all of it. "
Li Jing's voice is heavy and struggling to stand up straight, as if all her strength has been drained all of a sudden!
"M-Mother... Can I make a request?"
"Sure... what is it?"
"If I try to make a country, will you help me? "
"!"
Li Na was surprised as she heard an outrageous statement from Li Jing while in a weak state.
Li Na was confused for a moment, but since she didn't find anything strange in her question, she answered her without another second thought.
"Making a country is not as easy as you think, Li Jing! It'll take hundreds, maybe thousands, of years for a place to become a country! Even if there's the slightest chance you achieve that goal, you'd still likely be trampled by neighboring countries!"
While Li Jing's body became weak, she was so staggered when she tried to stand up and sat down on the chair.
"Mo-mother... If I don't start now, when will I be? "
"But still!"
"I want my kids to live in such tremendous beauty in a wonder land! I have a way of doing it. All I need is some support from you, mother. "
"What kind of support do you want?"
For a moment, Li Na collected herself and calmed down. She didn't object but instead listened to her daughter calmly.
"Mother... Do you, by chance, know some people that have a lot of connections to other people? "
"I do know a lot—what about it?"
"Mother... in order to make a country, you need people that have a lot of connections. I've prepared myself to create something without losing something."
"I can connect you to some people, but how will you do it?"
"Just believe me, Mother... I have a way."
Li Jing's smile changed in a horrifically horrific way, as if Another person had finally risen up!
Li Na shivered just looking at Li Jing, not because she was afraid, but because she was surprised for a moment, as if she were looking at a completely different person!
The silhouette of Long Jiang's soul has formed outside of Li Jing's body.
All-powerful King!
"This kid... what exactly happened to her?! What is this aura? Why am I nervous? Why does her charisma drastically become powerful!" Li Na's thoughts as she puzzled over her daughter's sudden change of attitude.
Li Na gulped for a moment before speaking.
"Alright... I'll help you with this madness you're going to start. "
Li Na's shifted her chair, then stood up and walked away.
"I'll arrange for you to meet them on the day of the festival. So you better get ready, and don't embarrass myself in front of them! "
"Thank you, mother! I promise I will not do anything reckless that will make you disappointed! "
"You should be!"
Li Na goes outside and starts to train her grandkids once again.
Long Jiang, who has finally taken complete control of Li Jing's body, has started to make a plan for the future.
"I am guessing the people I am going to meet are far beyond normal. The cost of losing this chance would far outweigh any benefit I could gain from the strength I have now. "
Li Jing has begun to prepare herself by creating a lot of various different items: potions, elixirs, weapons, and rituals.
