On the other side.
The location where Li Mu Bai and the others were.
As Li Mu Bai struck out with a sword pointed with both fingers, Chen Ping An instantly saw the scene before him completely change.
A person suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Mother!"
The moment he saw her, Chen Ping An couldn't contain his excitement and rushed towards her.
His reaction made his mother stunned.
But she only hesitated for a moment before instinctively reaching out her arms to embrace Chen Ping An.
As she embraced him, she realized she was solidly holding Chen Ping An.
It wasn't like before, where she could only touch him and pass right through him.
"Ping An!"
"My good child!"
"Don't cry!"
"Mother is here..."
After embracing Chen Ping An, Chen's mother was filled with guilt.
As a mother, she couldn't properly raise her son to adulthood.
Instead, for over a year before her death, she lay in bed, unable to do anything but let her four-year-old son take care of her.
She hadn't fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother at all.
And not only did she fail to fulfill her responsibilities, she also burdened her son.
Not to mention now, she died peacefully, but her son was left alone in the world.
He would inevitably have to endure scorn from others and listen to gossip.
From then on, her son would be an orphan.
Thinking about it, Chen's mother couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing this, Zhi Gui remained calm.
She didn't seem moved at all.
But if you looked closely at her eyes, you could clearly see a complex emotion within them.
As the last true dragon left in the world.
She was also a solitary dragon.
But she wasn't born from a crack in the rock.
She also had a father and mother.
Only her father and mother were killed by the Dragon Slayers.
So, Chen Ping An suddenly reuniting with his deceased mother, seeing and experiencing it again, naturally made Zhi Gui subconsciously envious.
During their embrace, the surrounding vitality remained constant.
The effect of self-contained heaven continued.
Only this way could Chen Ping An and his mother see each other.
After embracing for a while, Chen's mother let go of Chen Ping An, wiped the tears from his eyes with her hand, and then looked at Li Mu Bai and Zhi Gui beside her.
Then, she gratefully said to Li Mu Bai, "Mu Bai, thank you!"
At this moment, Chen's mother could clearly sense that the reason she could be seen by Chen Ping An was because of a technique she didn't know that Li Mu Bai had used.
It was a technique of immortals.
Li Mu Bai spoke gently, "Chen's mother, you're welcome."
"Also, Chen's mother, I can now bring you back to life. Would you like to be resurrected?"
“！！！”
Chen's mother's eyes widened instantly, looking at Li Mu Bai in disbelief.
"I... I can be resurrected?"
Chen's mother felt an overwhelming sense of joy surge through her heart.
However, after only a moment of excitement, she said, "Mu Bai, I... can I really be resurrected? Also, this, this wouldn't bring you any trouble, would it?"
Even though she wanted to be resurrected and live with her little Ping An again.
But even without understanding cultivation, she knew that reversing life and death went against the natural order of the world.
It wouldn't be as simple as saying she could be resurrected from death. It would surely require a price.
For the one performing the technique, it might be a heavy burden.
"It's fine, Chen's mother," Li Mu Bai shook his head with a smile. "However, Chen's mother, I currently have two methods to resurrect you, you need to choose one."
"One is to revive your buried body, allow your body to regain its vitality, then infuse your soul back into your body, bringing you back to life.
"The other is to confer upon you the status of a mountain spirit, transforming you from a human to a god, and you can only cultivate the path of a god afterward."
"For the former, as you know, you've already been buried, if you're resurrected this way, the people in the town will probably think you're a monster, it will scare many people, and many people will look down on you, which will affect Chen Ping An."
"The latter is simpler, after becoming a mountain spirit, you will have abilities that ordinary people don't have, if you don't want to be seen by ordinary people, they won't be able to see you."
"However, the latter will restrict you somewhat."
"Because you are my conferment, your life and death will be in my hands."
"So, mother, you have to carefully consider which state you choose to be resurrected in."
Hearing this, Chen's mother fell silent.
She never expected that she could be resurrected, let alone have two options for resurrection.
One as a human, one as a god.
However, the former was free, while the latter would be restricted.
She couldn't decide for a moment.
If it were only her, she would have just chosen.
She was afraid that she would be controlled, which would affect little Ping An.
After all, her husband and her death were both because they didn't want to see their little Ping An controlled by others, become someone else's puppet, and they shattered Ping An's natal porcelain.
Now Ping An had unhesitatingly broken free from his shackles, but she was to be controlled, wasn't this indirectly putting Ping An under control again?
If she could, she wouldn't choose anything.
She was willing to simply die like this.
But seeing her child's grief after her death, she really couldn't bear to let Ping An endure it a second time.
She truly didn't want to leave Ping An alone in the world again.
So, after being silent for a moment, she said, "Mu Bai, can I talk to Ping An alone?"
"Of course."
Li Mu Bai nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, Mu Bai!"
Chen's mother gratefully bowed to Li Mu Bai, then took Chen Ping An to a room alone.
Once in the room, she started asking Chen Ping An what was going on.
Why did Mu Bai help him resurrect her?
Chen Ping An didn't hide anything and told his mother everything he knew.
After hearing this, Chen's mother couldn't help but gently rub Chen Ping An's head with her hand.
"Ping An, do you want your mother to live in this world with you?"
"Yes, yes, I want to! Mother, I don't want to be separated from you again." Chen Ping An nodded without hesitation.
"But Ping An, this way, you might lose many things, are you willing?"
"Mu Bai said he'll leave some things for me. Besides, didn't mother say that suffering is a blessing, I can see mother again, live with mother again, this is already a big gain, a huge gain. No matter what kind of opportunity it is, it's not as important as living with mother."
Chen Ping An said without hesitation, a smile appeared on his face as he spoke, a very happy smile, as if he truly felt he had gained something.
He didn't just want to secretly rejoice.
