Now, this Necromancer State isn't so bad; at least I can calm down and discard all distractions to truly understand Pure Sound.
"Yu, why did you abandon Snow Spirit back then, only to give her up in the end? How did Pure Sound come about, and what exactly is it?" These questions constantly linger in my mind.
I used my Divine Consciousness to enter my body. This is the first time I have seen my own internal state as an Undead. It seems that the inner elixir is gone... I really am dead.
There is nothing left, completely empty. If a normal person saw this, they would surely be terrified. Sighing, I was about to withdraw my gaze when I noticed in a corner a sphere faintly radiating Milky White Light. Yes, it's Pure Sound!
It is indeed still here, and I can feel its warmth! It's surprisingly warm?! Like a Heart...
So warm, as if it has life. It seems to be accompanying me. No, not me; it feels like it is accompanying someone else?!
"Yu, are you there?" I called out to Yu almost instinctively.
"You are here, right?"
"Please say something to me; I have many questions."
I asked for a long time but received no response from Yu. Strange; I clearly feel that he is here...
I refocused my attention on Pure Sound. It has changed; there’s a subtle feeling that it’s right beside me yet impossible to grasp.
Soft and gentle, it seems to be embracing me. This feeling is just like—just like how Silver Moon feels towards me!
Yes, the feeling for a lover?! Or perhaps, something deeper!
I frowned, wondering what was going on; it was getting more and more complicated, and I felt a bit confused.
Initially, it was Pure Sound created by Yu. Later, it was the prisoner who led me to it, and then—right, how could I forget Snow Spirit? It was Snow Spirit that gave me Pure Sound, and Pure Sound came from Yu!
Everything clicked into place!
I understood!
Pure Sound suddenly changed towards me, so gentle. Could it all be because of Snow Spirit?!
“Tell me, your true master is Snow Spirit, right?!” I said to Pure Sound.
It flickered slightly but remained still.
“Yu has always loved Snow Spirit, no matter the lifetime?!”
“There must be some hidden truth; I surely don’t know everything… The Pure Sound created by Yu was for Snow Spirit, but he forgot, and you represent Yu, his love!”
“Tell me about the past, let me know!”
Pure Sound flickered with light repeatedly, growing brighter. It became scorching hot, as if something was about to break free from its shell; everything was about to become clear.
A sudden blinding light shone brightly, and I closed my eyes. As it slowly faded, a figure appeared before me—a child? The child was about the same size as the Nether Beast.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Xiao Yin." The little boy had short, milky-white hair and golden skin, with pure white eyes looking at me innocently.
"Xiao Yin?"
"The one inside your body."
"Oh my god, you can't be Pure Sound, can you?"
"Yes."
"You can transform?"
"Yes."
God, how much love did Yu gather to create this? It's simply unbelievable!
"Do you know who I am?" I asked.
"Yes, you are Xi Meng, my—new master." The boy seemed somewhat reluctant; I could tell he didn't understand what it meant to hide.
"Tell me, do you not like me?"
The boy shook his head, his eyes wide with pity.
"Then why do I always feel like you are resisting me?"
"I... I miss Phaer."
"Snow Spirit?"
"Yes."
"Sigh, okay, I know I can't compare to her in any way, but I will do my best to protect you, just like I promised them back then."
Unable to become a demon... Unfortunately, I am now the lowest rank of Undead.
"Xiao Yin doesn't dislike you." The boy pressed his face against mine and smiled cutely.
"Hehe, now I have nothing left, only you, Xiao Yin."
"Yes, I will stay with you, just like Yu."
"Yu?"
"Yes, he is with Phaer."
"Is that so? Can you tell me their story? For example, why did Yu leave, what about his wife, and why did he abandon Snow Spirit after becoming a god?"
"Yu didn't, Xiao Yin knows everything!" Xiao Yin anxiously paced back and forth.
"Yu left the town to find rare herbs to heal Snow Spirit's face, which were too precious for the town to have. His wife took a liking to Yu at first sight and promised to give him what he wanted, but only if he married her."
"How could it be such a coincidence? She liked him just by looking at him?"
"Hmph, this was Yu's trial! Phaer was destined to become a god, so the Heavenly Emperor deliberately made things difficult for them, severing Phaer's emotional ties."
"But later, Snow Spirit's face wasn't healed either, right?"
"No, Yu passed the herbs to Phaer, but Phaer didn't accept them!"
...Perhaps I can understand; if a lover's heart strays, what does it matter if their appearance is restored?
"Yu's wife treated him very well, so well that he gradually couldn't bear to hurt her. However, he never loved her."
"Especially after Phaer died, Yu visited Phaer's statue every day. He was in repentance; in fact, no one knew that statue was made by Yu himself."
"All of Yu's love converges into a song, sung every night to the statue of Phaer."
"Even a stone can be moved, right?" I couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, Xiao Yin is the stone, the eyes of the statue Phaer."
"What?!"
"After Yu died in that lifetime, I continued to cultivate. My existence is different from other fairies; from the moment I developed Divine Consciousness, all I encountered was love, and my being was filled with it. I followed Yu through every life, so when Yu finally became a deity in one lifetime, I followed him to the divine realm."
"Phaer knows nothing; Yu never told her. But their fates were inescapable. In the end, Yu sacrificed himself to protect Phaer, leaving part of his Divine Consciousness within me, and we accompanied Phaer in the mortal world."
"So you're saying my appearance ruined everything and separated you?!" I suddenly realized what I had done!
"Sigh, seeing Phaer like that made both Yu and me very sad, yet we were powerless. So perhaps your appearance is our best relief."
"And that was Lord Qiu's decision; Yu would undoubtedly obey him unconditionally."
"Qiu? Do you know about Qiu?" The thought of Qiu came to mind; it had been a long time since I last thought of him. Indeed, Xiao Yin must know a lot about Qiu.
"I... I... I don't know." Xiao Yin's gaze flickered, as if she didn't want to say more.
I found it strange; why did it seem like Xiao Yin was afraid of Qiu? Heh, thinking about how Qiu could sometimes be very cold—cold enough to be frightening—could it be that he scared Xiao Yin back then?
“Xi Meng, don't ask anymore. Just know that I haven't contacted him in a long time.”
“Hmm, do you still have contact?”
“No, no, I can't really explain it. Don't ask.”
“Alright, alright. When I see the prisoner later, I'll ask him myself. Hehe, what have you two been doing behind my back?”
“However, Xiao Yin, you know my current state. Is there still a chance for revival?”
“Well—actually, my awakening was also because your current state resembles Phaer when she was punished to the human realm. It's quite tragic and touched my emotions.”
“At that time, Phaer had nothing; she was just a living dead. But she was in a much better state than you are now.”
“I understand. Undead is no different from being completely dead.” This kind of death is different from what is considered death in the human realm; it means that there is truly no existence of you in the three realms.
“However, I can help you. During this time, we can work well together, and I'll tell Pure Sound how to use it properly.”
“Really?”
“Of course! I'm very capable!”
