Beatrice was stunned.

Sheng Xiao continued, “In this round, the merman is testing your comprehension. If you can comprehend it, you will see the bridge in front of you. If you don’t comprehend it, you will fail.”

Nodding her head, Yu Huang added, “Close your eyes and comprehend it with your heart!”

Beatrice immediately closed her eyes.

After she closed her eyes, it took Beatrice more than ten seconds to gradually calm down. When a person’s eyes were useless, her ears, nose, and every pore on her body would become especially sensitive.

Beatrice realized that there were traces of burning threads floating around her. They seemed to be hiding in the air. Beatrice’s ears twitched as she sensed something flying past her. She quickly reached out and pulled hard. There was something in her palm.

Beatrice opened her eyes and realized that it was a pure white thing that looked like gravel.

She didn’t know what it was, but she could sense that there were many more of those things in the air. Beatrice quickly reached out her hands and grabbed all the white gravel that flew past her. This thing had been active above the magma pool the entire time. It was just that she had been focused on clearing the levels and didn’t notice its existence.

When Beatrice caught enough of them, those things gathered together and formed…

They formed a white stone slab that was exactly the same as the stone slab under her feet!

After Beatrice guessed the use of the thing, she threw the stone slab in front of her. The thing landed steadily a step in front of her like a stone bridge. Beatrice didn’t hesitate and immediately stood on it.

She didn’t fall!

So this was her path!

Beatrice grabbed a lot of white gravel once again and gathered them into a stone slab before taking another step forward. At this moment, she was only two to three meters away from the shore. After she jumped, her body gracefully crossed the magma pool and landed on the other side.

When Beatrice landed on the other side, countless white gravel-like things suddenly surged out of the magma pool behind her. Those things gathered into a bridge and laid on the magma pool. The opposite end of the bridge was the shore where Yu Huang and the others were, while the other end of the bridge led straight to Beatrice’s toes.

Beatrice asked Yu Huang and the others, “Can you guys see the bridge?”

Yu Huang and the others nodded in unison. “Yes!”

Beatrice was delighted. “See if you guys can cross the bridge.”

When Yu Huang and the others tried to stand on the bridge, they discovered that they could really cross the bridge. Only then did they cautiously step on the bridge and cross the magma pool to Beatrice’s side. When Estelle, who was walking at the back of the team, jumped down from the bridge, the bridge suddenly released countless white lights.

The white light gathered together and turned into the soul of a beautiful merman.

The merman had a graceful figure and long dark blue hair that was smooth and shiny, like seaweed. She had a pair of light purple eyes and a gorgeous dark golden tail. She was wearing a dark purple long robe with a V collar and a dark black pearl necklace.

She flew over from the magma pool and landed in front of Beatrice and the others.

She stared at Beatrice and the others for a long time before saying to Beatrice, “Child, you are determined and loyal. You have successfully passed all the tests I set for my successor. Later, I will give you my inheritance.”

Beatrice was overjoyed. “Thank you, Senior Na Ling.”

Na Ling suddenly looked at Yu Huang again and stared at her as she said, “I sense a familiar and nostalgic aura on you.” Na Ling’s soul suddenly moved in front of Yu Huang and asked in disbelief, “You’ve seen my child before?”

Yu Huang couldn’t help but sigh when she heard this.

She took out the glowing Deep Sea Night-Luminescent Pearl from her pocket.

Na Ling immediately smelled her daughter’s scent from the Night-Luminescent Pearl. She snatched the Night-Luminescent Pearl and asked excitedly, “Where have you seen my daughter before?”

Yu Huang licked her lips and hesitated before saying, “Your daughter, Na Luo, has been living in the Holy Spirit Continent. We were once schoolmates who lived in the same dormitory and were good friends, but…” Yu Huang bit her rosy lips with her teeth and couldn’t bear to continue.

Na Ling could tell from Yu Huang’s expression that she was sad. She guessed a possibility and said with a quivering voice, “Could it be… that Na Luo is…”

Yu Huang said in a low and sorrowful voice, “Na Luo is dead.”

Na Ling hurriedly asked about the cause of Na Luo’s death. Yu Huang didn’t hide the cause of Na Luo’s death and told her about the feud between Na Luo and the merfolk. When Na Ling found out that her daughter had died in a battle with a Prime Emperor called Dino, she was sad for a short while before saying optimistically, “It’s okay. We ancient merfolk have the divine power of endless reincarnation. Even if she dies, she can still be reborn…”

Yu Huang shook her head again. “Na Luo can’t be reborn.”

Na Ling was stunned.

“How could that be?!” Na Ling subconsciously said, “I cultivated with Kunlun. Back then, when Kunlun became a Divine Master, the heavens gave me the divine power of endless reincarnation. My daughter is the child of Kunlun and me, so she also has the divine power of endless reincarnation. She can still be reborn!”

Na Ling couldn’t believe that her daughter was completely dead.

Yu Huang bit her lip and revealed a sympathetic expression as she told Na Ling, “Na Luo lived alone in that world for more than ten thousand years. Her heart was broken, and she no longer had any desire for reincarnation. Before the final battle with Dino, she personally pulled out the Divine Fish Scale on her body and gave it to the girl she loved the most.”

“Senior Na Ling, can Na Luo, who has lost the Divine Fish Scale, still be reborn?”

“What?” When Na Ling heard that Na Luo had actually pulled out the Divine Fish Scale, she revealed an incredulous expression. “How could she pull out the Divine Fish Scale?!” The Divine Fish Scale was the most important thing in the bodies of ancient merfolk. No matter how deep their injuries were, as long as their Divine Fish Scale was still there, they could be infinitely reborn.

Na Ling never expected her daughter to take the initiative to pull out the Divine Fish Scale and give it to someone else!

Sheng Xiao said, “Na Luo did pull out the Divine Fish Scale.” Then, he cupped his fists at Na Ling guiltily and lowered his eyes as he said, “Na Luo gave the Divine Fish Scale to my sister before she died.”

Hearing this, Na Ling remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, footsteps sounded from behind them. Yu Huang and the others looked up and saw Kunlun.

Kunlun still had the body of a baboon, but he had Kunlun’s face.

Kunlun walked towards Na Ling step by step. He didn’t have any memories related to Na Ling in his mind, but when he saw Na Ling, he couldn’t help but burst into tears.

When Na Ling saw Kunlun, she was stunned for a moment before revealing a gentle and affectionate smile.

Na Ling took the initiative to walk towards Kunlun. She wanted to reach out and touch Kunlun’s face, but her hand passed through it.

Kunlun wanted to grab Na Ling’s hand, but couldn’t.

Kunlun’s Adam’s apple bobbed before it called out the name of his previous lover in a hoarse voice. “Na Ling… my wife.”

Tears flowed down Na Ling’s face as she shook her head and said, “It’s been more than ten thousand years. Kunlun, I’ve waited for you here for more than ten thousand years.” As Na Ling stared at Kunlun’s human-beast body, her heart ached.

Ten thousand years ago.

After Kunlun was attacked by all the big shots of the three thousand worlds, Kunlun and Na Ling fought the entire way as they dragged their dying bodies into the Kunlun Mystic Realm.

Knowing that Na Ling had the divine power of endless reincarnation, Kunlun built an absolutely safe resting place for Na Ling at the bottom of the Kunlun Mystic Realm. He guarded Na Ling’s injured body and watched as she closed her eyes and died. Then, he used all his divine power to build a Divine Master barrier on Na Ling’s tomb.

With this barrier, Na Ling would never be attacked by the demon beasts. She would be reborn safely in the barrier.

After settling Na Ling down, Kunlun took the initiative to abandon his Divine Master position and forcefully cut off the Kunlun Mystic Realm from the three thousand worlds, turning it into a small world floating in the universe.

After Kunlun gave up on his Divine Master position and his spiritual power was exhausted, he was counterattacked by the demon beasts and became their food.

Before Na Ling died, she had heard Kunlun say to her, “Na Ling, I will place you in an absolutely safe place. Rest assured and be reborn here. Wait for me to come back and find you.”

Na Ling asked, “How long will I have to wait?”

Kunlun kissed her bleeding forehead and sobbed. “I will come back eventually.”

“… Okay.”
