An Lie stood above the dark forest. He didn't believe what that adult had said about An Lie. Gezi was already in that state, and this was a forbidden area. Even if he survived, he wouldn't be unscathed. Moreover, he was already seriously injured, so the probability of surviving in this restricted zone was very low. Gezi's eyes lit up, his body was engulfed by light, and by the time Gezi reacted, his eyes were stimulated by the dazzling light and he couldn't open them. This light was very special. The more Gezi wanted to open his eyes, the more they closed, as if he were very sensitive to this light.
Gezi walked on the path of light with his eyes closed. Gezi didn't know where this path led, but he only knew that as long as he could leave here, his injuries had already recovered by more than half. After a while, they would be fully recovered. After he went out, he would definitely get revenge. Gezi remembered clearly chasing and killing An Lie, and Gezi would not let An Lie go. An Lie would naturally not let Chen Tian go. The two would eventually fight. Gezi murmured, "I don't know where this path leads. I can only walk with my eyes closed, completely unaware of what lies ahead."
Gezi couldn't open his eyes, and his senses were suppressed. Fortunately, the path was straight. Gezi didn't know if there was any danger. Now there was only this path, and Gezi had no other choice. Gezi walked for an unknown amount of time, and the light from his eyes gradually weakened. His eyes could be opened a little, but the light still stimulated his eyes. Even if he opened his eyes slightly, Gezi couldn't see the path ahead clearly. However, this was already very good. At least it was better than seeing nothing. Who knew if he would become blind if he stayed here for a long time.
After several days, Gezi's figure finally reached the end. At the end was a vortex gate. The vortex gate, made of light, spun. Gezi felt a sense of familiarity and closeness from the vortex gate. Gezi looked around, and there were no other paths. It seemed like this was the exit. Gezi was still thinking about whether to enter it. One must be careful of the unknown. No one knew if there were dangers inside. After thinking, Gezi decided to enter, otherwise he would be trapped here and unable to get out. He couldn't waste any more time.
Gezi's figure stepped into the vortex gate. The vortex gate opened wide the moment Gezi stepped in, as if welcoming him. Gezi blocked his eyes with his arm. The light in front of him was not as strong as before. Gezi was somewhat unaccustomed to this light. He blocked it with his arm, and the light was blocked. Gezi entered the vortex gate. Gezi's figure completely entered the vortex gate. The vortex gate quietly disappeared, as if it had never existed in the first place.
It was as if this door could only appear when Gezi was here. Gezi drilled into the vortex gate, expecting a long road. Gezi felt the light disappear and directly put down his arm. What greeted his eyes was a small mountain village, a simple and unadorned small mountain village. Gezi was puzzled and said, "How can there be a small mountain village here? It's not simple, definitely not simple."
Gezi couldn't see through the small mountain village. Laughter and cheers came from within the village. The small mountain village had a unique charm amidst the laughter and joy. Gezi reluctantly stepped through the gate of the small mountain village. An old woman leaning on a cane noticed someone entering the village and then said in a hoarse voice, "Centuries have passed, has someone finally found this place?"
The old woman disappeared from her spot. The moment Gezi took a step into the village, an old woman stood with her back to Gezi and said, "Outsider, leave here, or this old woman will not show mercy."
Gezi felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. The old woman in front of him had unfathomable strength. However, the sense of crisis was fleeting. It was a primal sense of crisis. The higher a cultivator's realm, the stronger their perception of danger. This was a primal instinct. That was just Gezi's instinct just now.
"Old woman, I didn't mean to come here. I just couldn't find a way from the outside and was looking for a way out."
Gezi spoke with a humble tone. This old woman in front of him was definitely someone to be humble to. Her strength was at least beyond his. Gezi even thought Chen Tian would not be her match. The old woman was stunned upon hearing the voice, her whole body trembling. A terrifying aura swept out. Because she was too emotional, she lost control, and Gezi was grazed by this aura and blown away. Gezi spat out a mouthful of blood. Was it just a trace of aura? Or was it a graze? The strength of this old woman in front of him was unimaginable.
Gezi spat out blood, and the old woman rushed to Gezi's side, looking at him carefully. She closed her eyes, and light flickered on her chest. The old woman wailed, "It's you, it's you! You're finally back! Our homeland can return. That's great."
"Grandma San Hua greets the Third Prince."
The old woman directly knelt down. Gezi was completely bewildered. Grandma San Hua waved her hand, and Gezi's injuries completely healed. Gezi slowly stood up and looked at the old woman in front of him. Was she talking about him? Third Prince? What was the Third Prince? Gezi couldn't understand.
"Are you talking about me, the Third Prince?"
Gezi pointed to himself, bewildered. There was no one else around, so she must be talking about him. Gezi had no impression of this old woman. She didn't exist in his memory at all. He grew up in the Divine Realm, and it seemed he hadn't seen anyone with the same aura and appearance as the old woman there. He didn't understand what she was saying.
Grandma San Hua's tears flowed. "Third Prince, you're finally back. It makes sense, for today is the day of our reunion."
"But, tell me what's going on, I don't understand at all."
Gezi didn't know how to address this old woman. He didn't know her, but she was an elder, so he couldn't offend her. He had to speak tactfully. Grandma San Hua was stunned, and the tears in her eyes disappeared. She laughed, "Hahaha, Third Prince, don't worry. Your memory is sealed. When we break the seal, you will know your origin, and the origin of all of us."
"This way, please."
Gezi was stunned. Could it be that he had a secret? A voice came from Grandma San Hua's lips, "Hiding in my Third Prince, aren't you going to show yourself? Do you want me to drag you out?"
"Old woman, I don't know my limits. If I'm not careful, perhaps your soul, zizi."
"No, senior, I'm coming out."
A phantom image flew out of Gezi's body. This was the old man inside Gezi. The old man's face was pale. He couldn't withstand the pressure of the old woman. Gezi said, "Grandma, this is my friend."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know your intentions. Serve my Third Prince well, and we will help you rebuild your body in the future."
Upon hearing about rebuilding his body, the old man nodded obsequiously and said, "Yes, yes, yes. I will definitely assist you well."
"Third Prince, this way, please."
Grandma San Hua made a respectful gesture, as if she wouldn't dare to step forward if Gezi didn't go first.
Gezi had no choice but to go ahead.
Grandma San Hua and Gezi entered the small mountain village. Gezi was very interested in his background. He was born in the Divine Realm, and they called him the Third Prince. Gezi didn't have any recollection, but the way they looked didn't seem fake.
Gezi decided to investigate.
