"If you want to rember your past, the only way now is to find ng Po and ask her. I can take you there."
Ye Tian felt that this was the best solution at the mont. However, Houyi hesitated and asked, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate? I'm not dead, so why would I go see ng Po?"
"The situation is different now. In the past, only the dead could et ng Po, but you're an exception. If you don't recover so mories, the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow will remain lost. You should understand the consequences of that, right?"
"This..."
Houyi was at a loss for words. After a mont, he asked, "Ye Tian, are you serious? Do I really have to do this?"
"Of course you do. So, are you willing?"
"Alright, if that's the case, I have no choice."
He could only accept it. Without recovering his mories, he wouldn't be able to recall the past. So, without further hesitation, they quickly entered the underworld.
Upon arriving, Ye Tian t the King of Hell.
The King of Hell (King Yama) greeted Ye Tian warmly, "So it's you, Ye Tian. What brings you here today? I know you wouldn't co unless sothing important happened."
"I do have sothing important. I'm here to see ng Po. I brought soone with —Houyi. He must recover his mories of the ti when he shot down the suns. That's why we need to et her."
"That must have been a long, long ti ago."
"Yes. Because he was reborn, he forgot everything from his past life."
The King of Hell hesitated for a mont before saying, "Hmm... if that's the case, he should indeed rember so things. However, the underworld has its own rules. If we break them too easily, that would be a problem."
"What? Is it really impossible?"
"Of course, it's impossible. If we casually break the rules of the underworld, it would set a bad precedent."
Ye Tian thought to himself, What a load of nonsense. The King of Hell is just making excuses. He was determined to see ng Po today, no matter what.
"What if I insist?"
"Then you would be violating our rules."
"Rules are dead, but people are alive."
Ye Tian took out a pearl and handed it to the King of Hell. "I trust that you recognize sothing valuable when you see it. If you take us to ng Po, this is yours."
"This..."
The King of Hell hadn't expected him to produce such a treasure. Without hesitation, he quickly accepted it. "Well, since you're so sincere, I'll take you there."
With that, he led Houyi and Ye Tian to ng Po's workplace—the Bridge of Helplessness.
Ye Tian looked around and remarked, "So this is where souls pass into reincarnation. It's quite an eye-opener."
The place was eerie, sending a chill down his spine. The King of Hell then pointed to a woman in red ahead and said, "That is ng Po. If you have anything to ask, go to her now. I have other matters to attend to."
"Her?"
"Yes."
Ye Tian was surprised. This woman was far too beautiful. Could she really be ng Po?
Legends described ng Po as an old crone, but the woman before him was stunning.
"Are you sure that's ng Po?"
"Of course I am. Now go quickly. Rember, there's a ti limit. If you exceed it, you'll have to leave."
After the King of Hell left, Ye Tian walked up to ng Po and asked, "Are you ng Po?"
"Who are you?"
"ng Po, I am Ye Tian. The King of Hell just sent us to find you."
"Hmm."
ng Po furrowed her brows. "Did the King of Hell accept a bribe? He must have received sothing from you to let you see . This is against the rules."
"I know, but rules are dead, and people are alive. We ca to you because this is extrely important. Even if it ans breaking the rules, we have to do it."
"Fine, tell why you're here."
ng Po studied Ye Tian. He seed serious, and his eyes were sincere, not deceitful.
Ye Tian suddenly grinned and said, "I never expected the legendary ng Po to be such a beautiful woman."
"Enough with the flattery. Just tell what you need."
"This is Houyi. He wants to recall mories from his past life—specifically, the events before his reincarnation. Can you help him?"
"That's impossible. After drinking ng Po's soup, all past mories are erased. Even if fragnts remain, recalling an entire past life is not an option."
"Is it truly impossible, or do you just not want to help? If you're unwilling, I urge you to reconsider. Do you know what's happening outside? Another sun has appeared in the sky. If we don't find the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, the world will suffer."
"What? Another sun appeared? Are you serious?"
"You work here, so you wouldn't know what's happening in the mortal world. We ca here because we had no other choice. ng Po, if there's any way to help Houyi recover his mories, you must assist us!"
Under normal circumstances, ng Po wouldn't have helped. But this situation was different.
If Houyi couldn't regain his mories, he wouldn't be able to find the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
Seeing the urgency of the matter, ng Po realized that she had no choice but to help.
