Chapter 2134: The Girl the Heavens Forgot
The resonance point glowed once—then collapsed inward, dragging the trio out of the Deep Void in a shimmer of warping light.
They landed softly on the surface of the Vanishing Moon Palace, which hovered quietly above the Azure Cloud Continent.
It was quiet. Peaceful. Too peaceful.
Yun Che looked around.
> "This is… right. We're back."
Jasmine said nothing.
Caizhi staggered forward, still pale, her aura fractured but stable. Her body was whole. Her soul—barely.
But her presence felt... faded. Thinner. As though the world around her refused to focus.
> "I don't feel the realm," she whispered. "Why can't I feel the sky?"
Jasmine scanned the surroundings. Her divine sense swept out in all directions.
Then she froze.
> "Yun Che."
> "What is it?"
> "She's not appearing in the flow of causality."
> "What does that mean?"
Jasmine turned to Caizhi, her voice tight.
> "The world doesn't know she's here."
A sudden tremor echoed through the skies.
Heavenly waystones flickered. Spirit beasts passed by without looking at her. Even the array around the palace scanned over her body… and didn't react.
> "She's been unbound," Jasmine said.
Yun Che's heart dropped.
> "Like she's been erased?"
> "Not erased. Unwritten. Her name, her past, her fate—they're still in our memories, but not in the laws of the realm."
Caizhi's voice was small.
> "Then... if I die now, would anyone know?"
They all went quiet.
And the wind didn't answer.
Suddenly—footsteps.
Cang Shitian stepped into view, followed by Mu Xuanyin and two elders from the Snow Song Realm.
He looked at Yun Che and Jasmine, nodding politely.
Then he looked past Caizhi—through her.
> "Yun Che. Jasmine. You're back. But… who's the girl?"
Yun Che froze.
Caizhi stared, eyes wide.
> "He doesn't remember me…"
Cang Shitian continued, casual.
> "You found another survivor in the Void? Interesting. Her power feels strange."
Jasmine's aura flared. "You don't know her name?"
> "Should I?"
Caizhi's hands trembled.
And then—Mu Xuanyin stepped forward. Her face was calm. But her eyes flickered with a sliver of suspicion. She was a being of ice and instinct.
She paused before Caizhi.
> "...You feel familiar," she said softly. "But I don't know why."
And still—no name came to her lips.

Meanwhile: Beyond the Realms
A pale throne floated in the darkness between laws.
A being draped in shifting silk and mist leaned forward, finger tracing a name that vanished with every breath.
> "First the Wolf," it said.
"Then the Sky."
"Now the Strings."
Its voice carried like a lullaby in reverse.
> "Let all who stand with her… forget her."
And another name faded.
