Han Kexin remained staring blankly at the bustling food street, not moving an inch forward for a long time.

"Are we still going to see your sister?" Qin Xiaochuan could roughly understand her complicated feelings, so he asked.

Han Kexin looked at Qin Xiaochuan with a hesitant expression. Although she really wanted to see the place where she had lived as a child, she was also afraid of actually seeing something. In the end, she said softly, "Let's come back next time."

"Okay." Qin Xiaochuan didn't say much and silently accompanied her back to the alley they had come from. Based on their previous experience, that place was both the entrance and the exit of this world. However, to their surprise, when the two of them walked through the entire alley, the familiar white light still did not appear in front of them.

"What's going on? Why can't we get out?" Qin Xiaochuan asked in confusion.

Han Kexin frowned as well. She looked around and saw familiar streets and residential buildings. She couldn't find anything unusual.

"It seems this past illusion is more complicated than we imagined. We'll probably have to use our brains to leave this world," Han Kexin pondered seriously.

Qin Xiaochuan suddenly remembered what he had seen in "Notes on the Original Path" and said, "I saw a book in the cultivation room, which contained a folded page left by the previous Blood Witch King. The book said that humans can create a new world through spiritual energy. The world we are in now should be the new world he built based on the theory in the book, except that this new world is built in the spiritual space."

After hearing his words, Han Kexin seemed to be deep in thought. After a long while, she said, "It's not impossible for him to do it. Moreover, there are indeed signs that this world is under construction. Do you remember the village we went to for the first time? That should be an incomplete world, so it has obvious boundaries. As long as we reach the boundary, we will naturally leave the village."

Han Kexin paused for a moment and then continued, "And this is my sister's main activity area, so it's naturally the most complete area, and therefore the boundaries aren't so clear."

"But there are still boundaries. As long as we keep going in one direction, we will definitely be able to leave this place," Qin Xiaochuan summarized for her.

"That's right. If this world is complete, it must be connected to the previous village. Although it's not complete, you can still see that it took him a very, very long time to build such a huge world." When Han Kexin said this, her face was bitter, confused, and yet there was a certain inviolable pride.

"It feels like an online game, where a huge world is divided into many small spaces, and then all the worlds are connected together through fixed teleportation points," Qin Xiaochuan said suddenly.

"Online games allow direct login and logout; we still need to find the boundaries," Han Kexin said casually.

Qin Xiaochuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "After he built this past illusion, he must have entered this world frequently. If it's this troublesome every time he leaves, it's too time-consuming. To make things easier, he must have other ways to exit this world directly."

"Even if he did, so what? Only he knows the method." Han Kexin didn't take Qin Xiaochuan's words seriously.

Qin Xiaochuan disagreed, saying, "But it's not without clues. Just like a game, the principle of logging in and logging out is the same. So the principle of entering and exiting this past illusion should be the same. Think about how we entered this world. On the surface, we entered through that time corridor, but in essence, it's just that our spiritual energy was loaded into this world. So if we want to exit, we just need to let our spiritual energy return to its origin."

"You mean?" After listening to Qin Xiaochuan's analysis, Han Kexin understood some of the key points, but still didn't know how to do it specifically.

"It's actually very simple, it's just entering a meditative state. Don't forget that even in the real world, entering a meditative state is the fastest way for us to return to ourselves from the material world." Qin Xiaochuan looked at Han Kexin excitedly.

"What you said makes some sense, so let's give it a try." Han Kexin remained calm.

"It's more than just a little bit of truth." Qin Xiaochuan was unconvinced, but he was too lazy to argue, because Han Kexin had already sat cross-legged on a rock and entered a meditative state. He could only swallow the rest of his words and sit down cross-legged next to her.

As he expected, when he came out of meditation, he indeed returned to the spiritual world, where Han Kexin was flipping through the book "Notes on the Original Way" that Qin Xiaochuan had casually put aside.

"Is this the book you mentioned, 'Annotations on the Original Way'?" Han Kexin asked when she saw him open his eyes.

Qin Xiaochuan nodded and said, "That's right, I think this book is very interesting. After you read it, it might overturn your understanding of the world."

"I'm not interested." Han Kexin put the book back where it was and said, "But you need to study it carefully; maybe you can find the real reason for his suicide."

Qin Xiaochuan picked up the book, flipped through it, and asked, "Why would you say that?"

"An intuition."

"Then why don't you do some research yourself?" Qin Xiaochuan asked, puzzled.

Han Kexin fell silent. She raised her head to look at Qin Xiaochuan, as if scrutinizing him or searching for him. Her deep eyes were like an ancient well that had been there for a thousand years, with no bottom and no light.

Qin Xiaochuan felt a little uneasy under her gaze, scratched his head, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," she said calmly, as if nothing had happened. Then she left the training platform and walked out of the meditation room, leaving behind the words, "Hurry up and improve your cultivation during this time. The Dustless Trial should be starting soon."

Qin Xiaochuan watched her figure disappear among the bookshelves, a strange sense of bewilderment rising in his heart. No matter what, he felt that she was a woman he could never truly understand.

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of all emotions and thoughts, and then carefully began to read the book "Annotations on the Original Way".

When he casually flipped to the last page of "Yuandao Zhu", he was surprised to find a line of annotations on it.

"He has always been there waiting for us. Only love and faith can connect us to Him. We must be one with Him. Perhaps only the purest love can open this channel, and only love can change destiny. This is probably the ultimate secret of this world. Ironically, no one has ever discovered it."

When Qin Xiaochuan saw this sentence, he was taken aback. It wasn't because the sentence was particularly profound, but because of the words "love and faith" and "pure love" that appeared in it. These were words that only a naive teenage boy would write. It was hard to imagine that it came from the hand of a Blood Witch King who had lived for a very long time, whose strength was unfathomable, and who might even kill without blinking an eye. The contrast was just too great.

What kind of person was he? Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but wonder. He realized that he might have had a stereotypical view of himself from his previous life. But when he saw that sentence, that view suddenly shattered, and he developed a strong curiosity about himself from his previous life.
