"...Things are just like this. Ah Yimu is guilty, willing to accept any punishment the Saintess Yao metes out!" Ah Yimu knelt on the ground, forcefully bowing her head towards Yao Qingxue.

During the brief narration, everyone finally understood how incredibly coincidental it was that Ah Yimu was deceived by the Pioneer—

Back then, trapped at the Celestial Pool of Tianshan and nearly losing her life to a Fierce Ghost, Ah Yimu by sheer chance picked up an Obsidian Necklace.

When Yao Qingxue hid this necklace in the Celestial Pool of Tianshan, the Supernatural Calamity had yet to descend, so she merely intended to store part of her soul consciousness.

Unexpectedly, through her own Awakened Ability of Soul Communication, Ah Yimu managed to communicate with a portion of Yao Qingxue's soul consciousness.

With the benevolent assistance of Yao Qingxue's soul consciousness, she ultimately escaped the Celestial Pool of Tianshan.

However, using Soul Communication continuously for an entire day pushed Ah Yimu's body to its limits due to Spiritual Power overload.

Just after escaping, she fainted at the entrance.

Coincidentally, at this time, the Pioneer, controlling a Body of a nearby village resident near the Celestial Pool of Tianshan, came here, intending to search for the curse-guide artifact.

That is Yao Qingxue's cherished object, which he needed to fully cast the curse.

Under such coincidence, the Pioneer encountered the fainted Ah Yimu.

He did not recognize Ah Yimu.

However, he did recognize the Obsidian Necklace around her neck, which had yet to be set with a gem.

Having searched for Yao Qingxue's cherished object for so long, he found it so easily. The Pioneer impatiently used the Cursed Ruby to cast that almost unbreakable curse.

And so, Yao Qingxue, who was constructing the Peach Blossom Spring inside the cave, fell under the trap.

But at this critical moment, she succeeded.

However, the curse came so suddenly that as she fell asleep, Yao Qingxue barely managed to split herself in two, maintaining the stability of the Peach Blossom Spring, but the hasty separation led to Complete Amnesia for the Commoner Yao Qingxue.

To protect Ah Yimu and the Obsidian Necklace, Yao Qingxue remotely cast a causal curse.

Unfortunately, she didn't expect the Pioneer would coincidentally obtain the Obsidian Necklace before the causal curse took effect, and even save Ah Yimu, binding them by causality.

Thus, the protective curse did not affect the body controlled by the Pioneer.

To prevent the protective causal curse from inadvertently detecting his consciousness origin, the Pioneer not only refrained from killing Ah Yimu but even helped establish the Utopian Village.

After all, at that time, the Pioneer found the idea of using Utopia to restrict the Fierce Ghost of the Celestial Pool of Tianshan somewhat feasible.

He also wanted to conduct this experiment and witness it.

Because Ah Yimu knew the causal curse would affect wrongdoers of the Promised Land.

So, when this body wasn't rejected, she instinctively thought the other party had no relation with the Promised Land.

Just when everything was unfolding as the Pioneer planned, an unexpected person appeared four years later—Wu Liang.

The person not only disrupted his plans in the Capital City but also destroyed the Wu Xiaoyao Bionic Man and the Ghost Valley in Chengyang City, and even learned the address of the Celestial Pool of Tianshan from him.

This led to the Pioneer brainwashing the young Ah Yimu, making her believe that Yao Qingxue's curse could only be lifted by sacrificing her blood kin's soul.

In reality, it was a plan to kill two birds with one stone, dealing with the two significant threats, Wu Liang and Yao Qingxue.

After all, once the Peach Blossom Spring was constructed, the Pioneer naturally couldn't and didn't dare to enter it, so Yao Qingxue could only remain cursed and asleep there.

If it weren't for Wu Liang's arrival, he wouldn't have known how to truly eliminate Yao Qingxue.

Still, he didn't expect Wu Liang to break the curse in a way that exceeded his understanding!

"Wait a minute, why did you tell me the location of the Celestial Pool of Tianshan?"

After hearing the causes of everything, Wu Liang suddenly turned and looked at the Pioneer, this being the most inexplicable part of all explanations.

If the other party hadn't revealed this location, Wu Liang might never have found this place in his lifetime.

After all, the real secret of the Celestial Pool of Tianshan was only known to the Pioneer and Yao Qingxue.

"..."

To this inquiry, the Pioneer chose to remain silent; he really didn't want to answer this damned question.

Moreover, because he was now a consciousness fragment, except for matters related to the Cursed Ruby and Yao Qingxue, he had no other memory at all.

He damn well wanted to know why his body told Wu Liang about this place!

Freaking hell! Was the main body out of its mind?

Seeing him like this, Wu Liang narrowed his eyes in deep thought, then suddenly remarked, "Could it be… you have a problem with your mind?"

This wasn't a curse.

Wu Liang remembered when the consciousness occupied the body of the Ghost Valley, this guy's speaking style underwent a drastic change akin to a split personality.

Now thinking back, perhaps the Pioneer did have some mental issues.

The other party, in a few short conversations, referred to certain deeds as the actions of his "past self."

This meant that the Pioneer seemed to be trying to separate his old world self and new world self, just like Yao Qingxue?

But it seemed that without Yao Qingxue's extraordinary Awakened Ability, the other's attempts were not successful—not only failing to split into two Pioneers but also causing internal conflict within his soul consciousness!

Hence, one consciousness disclosed the Celestial Pool of Tianshan to him, while another consciousness wanted to silence it, hastily manipulating the body of the Ghost Valley to commit suicide?

"Ha, arguing with yourself, Pioneer, you seem to be on the verge of insanity..."

Wu Liang scoffed after deducing everything based on the clues he knew.

Then he looked back at Ah Yimu and said, "Do you want to make amends for your mistake?"

"Of course! Ah Yimu would die a thousand deaths!"

Hearing that she could make amends moved Ah Yimu emotionally, as she genuinely wished to contribute to the fight against the supernatural for Yao Qingxue and humanity.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Liang tilted his head towards Yao Qingxue, saying, "Mom, you must have realized it too, that during the establishment of your Utopia, some unwanted elements infiltrated, so..."

"So, the Utopia now might be filled with the presence of the Promised Land, and you want to eliminate it, yes?" Yao Qingxue interjected before Wu Liang could finish speaking.

Her guess aligned with what Wu Liang had in mind.

This is why there was a need to ask if Ah Yimu wanted to make amends.

Because in the eyes of the villagers in Utopia, it was Saintess Ayimu who established all this, and rooting out the Promised Land naturally required her help.

Moreover, the Promised Land outside had already taken the center stage, standing in opposition to the authorities.

At this critical juncture, severely crippling it would indeed be the greatest help in uniting Huaxia to combat the supernatural before the arrival of the second Supernatural Calamity.

After all—before pacifying outside threats, internal stability must first be achieved!
