My Memories Merged After I Rescued the Demon Lord

This is the first life I really want to expand on! You can think of it as a continuation after the end of the first life. It goes in a different direction from the novel where he fakes his death!

Gu Jinghuan died at the hands of his junior disciple, who had grown into the leader of the immortal sects. He wasn't surprised, because their relationship had long since become bitterly hostile.

By then, his junior disciple had become a force for both good and evil, ruling the cultivation world through bloody methods.

In the end, his inner demon erupted, and he died under the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.

But Gu Jinghuan gained the ability to restart time.

He returned to the moment he and Xie Wuwang first met. This time, he tried to change the fate that had already been decided.

He wanted to survive, and he wanted Xie Wuwang to take a brighter path, living honorably and openly until he ascended.

But he never expected that everyone's ending had already been written, and changing fate again would come at a price.

Because of his interference, Xie Wuwang didn't even survive the entrance trials this time.

Gu Jinghuan: ?

Unwilling to give up, Gu Jinghuan returned to the beginning once more.

Again and again, he saved Xie Wuwang. What began as simply going along with things became an obsession, a refusal to believe there was no way.

He even resorted to extreme measures, such as making Xie Wuwang think he was the enemy hunting him down. He turned their blades against each other, cutting off any chance that he might influence the story.

Only after Xie Wuwang came to truly hate him and the plot stabilized did he numbly count on his fingers:

He and Xie Wuwang had been friends who stood together through hardship, and strangers who passed each other by.

Lovers who depended on each other for life and death, and enemies who hated each other.

Accomplices who indulged one another, and fellow disciples who were respectful and silent.

His mental state is perfectly fine. What is this, a bed? I'll just lie down for a bit. (Never woke up again.)

.

Xie Wuwang thinks himself very lucky.

Though he was born into humble circumstances, he now has friends, subordinates, and a power of his own. The entire demon realm is at his command.

There is a Gu Jinghuan he can't stand, but he doesn't care.

Compared with his own success and fame, Gu Jinghuan, a man with a deep and calculating heart, lives a lonely, wretched life, able only to look up at him.

Until one day, countless bloody memories come back to him.

He had fallen into all kinds of pools of blood, and only Gu Jinghuan had been there, gripping his hand tightly and promising again and again, "I'll save you, Xie Wuwang. I promise I'll save you..."

And then there was the beginning of it all: the more than three hundred years of unbearable agony, like a demon gone mad, after he killed the person he loved most with his own hands.

#Gu Jinghuan, now completely out of his mind: Can someone please tell me which timeline this is? Is it the one where Xie Wuwang killed me, the one where I killed Xie Wuwang, or the one where we got together? Is anybody there?!

Core idea: Refuse to accept the fate you've been given and dare to change the course of your life. After countless failed attempts, eventually find the path that satisfies you most.
