Hongyu was completely dazed by now. He looked increasingly confused, as if he really had never thought about these things before. He began to tremble ."Could it be... I was really wrong?"

"I don't know if you were wrong, but..." Shen Ying lowered her voice and continued, "All your theories must gel well with reality, right? Weren't you one of the earliest gods? You have never gone through Samsara, have you? See... if you haven't done it before, how can you say it's not good?"

"..."

Shen Ying patted his almost transparent body. "The saying is good – you can only truly understand if you experience it yourself. Why not you enter Samsara before you conclude?"

"I-"

He was even more troubled by now, but he no longer looked as helpless as he did earlier. Although there were things he still could not figure out, his soul was no longer splitting into specks of light.

Meng Po was nearly bursting with excitement next to them. She quickly waved her hands, transforming Hongyu into a beam of light which shone right into the River of Forgetfulness. He had entered Samsara.

"That's not bad – your persuasion skills have improved!" The corners of Lonemoon's lips twitched as he nudged Shen Ying.

"Father Niu, you have taught me well!"

"Pui!" He never taught her anything like that.

"Sect Master, you are indeed awesome!" Meng Po grabbed Shen Ying's hand excitedly. "Actually, to this world, every single soul is important. If he refused to enter Samsara and had his soul dissipate as a result, that would have meant a lot of trouble for me."

"Without the Samsara, would the living beings in the Three Realms really enjoy eternal life?" Lonemoon asked.

Meng Po shook her head. "Actually, all living beings have a limit to their lives in this world. If they stay for too long, they would disintegrate slowly. If they stay even longer, their souls might even dissipate. The training that immortals and gods go through can only strengthen the soul so that it holds up for a little longer. The River of Forgetfulness, however, can strengthen one's soul by returning it too its original state. Without the Samsara, before long, there will be no more living beings in the Three Realms, much less eternal life."

So that's the case. She should have just told the Elderly Hongyu in the first place.

"I've already returned to my original form. I can no longer interfere with matters in the Three Realms, so it was not for me to explain it," Xuan Tong added after seeing Lonemoon's expression.

Lonemoon looked around. "Oh right, where's the Godfiend? He led me to you. Now that I've found you, he can make his appearance, right?"

"Of course I'm here!" The moment Lonemoon finished speaking, a voice filled the air and a familiar figure landed in front of the group.

"It's been a long time, you both." The Godfiend was smiling kindly at them. "I have to thank the two of you for locating Meng Po. Now there can be peace in the Three Realms."

"Enough of that nonsense. We have found her. It's time for you to tell us how the two worlds can be merged, right?" Lonemoon asked anxiously.

"Of course," the Godfiend answered, grinning. He raised his ends and a scroll appeared in front of them. "This is the technique to open up the gate between the two world. Once you figure this technique out, you can return to your own world."
