The Recollection Mirror was a product of the Baize's own blood essence and 4900 years of his time. Although it could not tell the future, it could make out the past appearances of all living creatures in the world.

In the past, this item had merely been a small toy of little value to the Baize. But after he was sealed within a vast desert bereft of spiritual qi, where no living creature could be seen for thousands of li, this mirror became the crucial object that allowed him to endure two thousand years of torment.

As an auspicious beast, his lifespan was simply too long. He had seen mountains being engulfed by seawater, the deep sea turning into high mountains, landslides, the ground cracking apart, and borderless lands being split open.

The transformations of the world, life and death, and the appearance of a new species when one fell into extinction – a never-ending cycle.

The advent of an era where the teachings of Buddha were not understood represented the end of the era of the gods and yao. He had originally thought that he could calmly accept the decay of his body, but only after he was sealed in an endless desert did he realize that his heart was unwilling.

No one would be willing to die soundlessly, and an auspicious beast worshipped by countless living creatures was no exception. It was only at this juncture that the Baize found that he was not what he imagined himself to be – wanting for nothing.

"You want to find Bo Lian's reincarnation?" The Baize looked at the Recollection Mirror on the table. "Bo Lian's fate is not ordinary, I'm afraid the Recollection Mirror may not be able to find out everything in its entirety."

"It's fine to just give it a try," Feng Ruizhong amassed spiritual qi at the handle of the mirror and wrote Bo Lian's name and birth data on the mirror. In a flash, spiritual qi surged and the mirror emitted a dazzling radiance. Wind blew, and the mirror projected scenes so realistic that they seemed to be occurring right before their eyes.

"Bridge to bridge, road to road, dead souls can never turn back..."

The man wearing a splendid gown walked behind the yinchai, all sorts of souls by his side. But unlike these souls, there was no Soul-Locking Chain around him, nor did the surrounding souls dare to get too close to him.

"Bo Lian's being brought to the underworld by the yinchai after his death..."

The door to the yard opened all of a sudden and Fu Li walked in. "Uncle Bai..." Fu Li came to a halt upon seeing the scene in the yard.

It was impossible for a scene of an elegant gentleman with tears of blood streaming down his eyes to not be shocking. Zhuang Qing, who followed Fu Li in from behind, didn't have to ask Fu Li about the man's identity because he had already guessed it. When looking at him previously, he had a niggling feeling that the scene was fake and unrealistic. Only now when he watched the man walk among the various souls did he come to realize just how magnificent he was.

"Little Li, what did you come back for?" Feng Ruizhong wanted to keep the Recollection Mirror, but also couldn't do it too obviously, so he merely smiled awkwardly.

"You're looking at Bo Lian?" Fu Li reacted more calmly than Feng Ruizhong had thought he would. Looking at the man with tears flowing from his eyes, Fu Li's lips moved a little.

He looked at the Bo Lian projected by the Recollection Mirror while Zhuang Qing, who was standing at the side, looked at him.

After Bo Lian was led to the Yama Kings' palace, no Yama King dared to accept his bow. Rather, they courteously addressed him as Lord Bo Lian.

"Lord Bo Lian has extraordinary virtue and is certain to be a wise and capable ruler in your next life. May Lord Bo Lian not miss the opportune period and proceed to the human world."
