When Bai Suzhen gave birth to this monster, Xu Xian was in despair.

If she had given birth to a human, she could have become a deity. If she had given birth to a snake, she would have remained a demon.

But giving birth to a monster was a symbol of calamity.

With no other options, Xu Xian could only decide to kill them mother and child.

Thus, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen had their final meal.

Afterwards, Xu Xian rushed to Jinshan Temple and met the monk Fahai and the monster born to Bai Suzhen.

Fahai merged with the monster, becoming a great demon that brought disaster to the world.

Although Xu Xian was mortal, he accidentally left a fatal weakness in the demon during the childbirth.

In the end, Xu Xian and the demon perished together, and Hangzhou City survived the calamity.

All of this was a plot by Monk Fahai.

He was not a Buddha, but rather someone who sought immortality and worshipped outside deities.

A nameless horror from the void.

The Buddhist beads and mantras given by Monk Fahai to Xu Xian were incantations to summon the outside deity.

But summoning the outside deity was extremely difficult.

So Monk Fahai used the opportunity of the birth of a monster through the union of a human and a demon to allow a fragment of the outside deity to be born.

By merging with it, Monk Fahai could exist in both time and space.

But the experience of dying greatly traumatized the outside deity.

That's why it roared, "Xu Xian, do you want to kill me again?"

As I recall all of this, I once again become the nameless little monk.

Everything that happened before was a scheme by the outside deity.

It had accumulated its power for five hundred years, only to barely recover a trace of it.

Until the appearance of the pink little snake, it knew its opportunity had come.

The little snake was a remnant soul of Bai Suzhen, and I am the reincarnation of Xu Xian.

It used its power to manipulate time and turn everything back five hundred years.

Using the guise of a Buddha, it deceived me and Bai Suzhen in order to be reborn.

Now, it has been born naturally and no longer has a fatal weakness.

Beside me, Bai Suzhen has also transformed into a familiar appearance.

The will of the pink little snake dominates, and her face has changed as well.

She has grown a bit and no longer looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

She is now a graceful young woman, who has already become a mother and spent a year of love.

But at this moment, we have no time to speak.

She manipulates her power to fight against the outside deity.

But even Bai Suzhen is no match for the outside deity.

With a sweep of its giant tentacles, it shatters one barrier after another.

Bai Suzhen spits out blood and is sent flying.

I step forward with my sword, but it doesn't even need to directly face me. Its powerful wind sends me flying.

It pays no attention to us and instead turns towards Hangzhou City.

Bai Suzhen weakly tells me, "It wants to sacrifice the people of Hangzhou City and awaken its true form in the outer realm."

"Even if a great Luo golden immortal were present, they would be reduced to ashes."

As she finishes speaking, Bai Suzhen continues to vomit blood. I try to help her stop the bleeding, but she pushes me away with force.

"Hurry and find the formation that summoned it. Seal the formation, and it will disappear."

I nod, but where is the formation?

I search through the entire main hall of Jinshan Temple, but find nothing.

Suddenly, I remember Leifeng Pagoda. Perhaps...

It was never a demon-sealing pagoda, but a great formation to summon the outside deity.

When I arrive, it proves to be true.

The entire Leifeng Pagoda is enveloped in gray mist, and obscure power emanates from it.

I take a step inside, and the whole world changes...
