Chapter 39

The two sat in silence for a long time. Su Luo poured herself a cup of tea with trembling hands and finally spoke first. "Now, let me explain the whole story from beginning to start—though, of course, this is just my guess." "First of all, it's likely because the original novel ended in a tragic ending, so the Higher-Ups pulled us into the novel ahead of time to change it, hoping we'd help Ning Wanshuang alter the conclusion. But neither of us knew that the Celestial Demon was hiding right inside the Tianyiji Sect and even posing as the female protagonist, so both you and I ultimately failed our plans. After we died, the Celestial Demon still destroyed the world. That's why the ancestors of the Four Great Sects, with the help of that higher entity, reversed time once again in an attempt to change everything. That's what made us think we were reincarnated—when in reality, time was simply turned back."
