He said, "Ling Luo, I'm already five thousand years old. I've seen too many lives and deaths, yet even now I can't feel the slightest joy. Ling Luo, I love you, but we'll never meet again. I'm going back into the cycle of reincarnation to live as a human. I'd rather be an animal in the Six Paths than a soul in the spirit realm."
She stood frozen in place, unable to stop her tears.
He only watched her silently. After a long while, the corner of his mouth lifted in a knowing smile. He turned away without a trace of reluctance, passed through the Gates of the Underworld, crossed the Bridge of Helplessness, drank Granny Meng's Soup, and fell into the path of reincarnation. From then on, all their past ties and memories were forgotten. The paths of humans and ghosts diverged, yin and yang apart, and every joy and sorrow became an illusion.
Zhao He said:
If two people can love each other through seven cycles of reincarnation,
then they will be together for all eternity.
But if their bond breaks in any one life,
they will carry their grief for all eternity.
