Jiaojiao was held tightly in Donghua's arms. She was initially full of reproach, but when she saw Donghua's slightly pale yet gentle face, her reproach instantly turned into endless worry. She did not struggle. Her slender white fingers quickly placed on Donghua's wrist, and she couldn't wait to take his pulse. Her fingertips trembled slightly with nervousness, and each pulse seemed to be the drumbeat of her panicked heart.

"How exactly did you wake up?" Jiaojiao's voice was filled with urgency and doubt. "In the previous worlds, you were still in a state of damaged soul and on the verge of death. I was worried about you every day..." At this point, her voice choked slightly, and her eyes reddened.

Donghua gently grasped Jiaojiao's hand, pressing it against his heart, as if wanting her to feel his real presence. His expression was gentle, yet deep in his eyes lay a complex mix of emotions, a sense of relief at surviving a calamity. "Perhaps it's because the merits I've accumulated over these past days are enough, or perhaps it's the mercy of Heaven. Before you came into this world, I had already possessed this body of Donghua's." Donghua narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling that chaotic time, "Back then, my consciousness was hazy, I was in a daze, and could only instinctively follow the guidance of Heaven, mechanically moving forward."

Jiaojiao raised her eyes, her gaze shimmering with a mixture of inquiry and deep concern: "And then what happened? How did you gradually regain consciousness?"

Donghua sighed softly, his thumb stroking Jiaojiao's hand, and slowly said, "In that dazed state, a voice in my subconscious kept telling me that some things had to be changed. For example, Zi Ning and Zi Tong, they shouldn't have been dragged into those unwarranted disasters and sufferings. Although my consciousness was blurred, I still changed some subtle trajectories within my power, driven by that obsession."

Jiaojiao frowned slightly and pressed, "So how much have you changed? Could such changes trigger other unforeseen variables?"

Donghua shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "The timeline is set by the Heavenly Dao itself, and its stability is beyond imagination. Even as the ruler of heaven and earth, I am but a drop in the ocean before the vast rules of the Heavenly Dao. I simply do not have the ability to drastically change it. I have only slightly reversed some cause and effect in some inconspicuous details. As for whether this small change will lead to new variables..." He paused, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, "I really cannot predict it."

Jiaojiao leaned against Donghua's chest, feeling the warmth of his embrace, and whispered, "Since things have come to this, whatever awaits us ahead, we will stand hand in hand and face it together. This time, no matter what happens, we will never be apart again."

Donghua tightened his arms slightly, holding Jiaojiao tightly in his embrace, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

Jiaojiao nestled in Donghua's arms, but she had no heart to enjoy the peace. Her mind was full of questions, her clear eyes fixed on Donghua with a persistent determination, she pressed, "When exactly did you wake up? Don't try to fool me, I have to know the answer." This question had been weighing on her mind for too long, and she wanted to know every detail related to Donghua clearly.

Donghua, feeling helpless under Jiaojiao's gaze, gave a bitter smile. He knew that with her insistence, he couldn't hide it any longer and could only honestly say, "Do you remember when I went to the Three Lives Stone? The moment I saw my name suddenly appear on the Three Lives Stone, it was as if a mysterious force had violently smashed open the door to my memory. Those sealed and forgotten past events, like a surging tide, poured into my mind relentlessly, and then everything became clear, and I awoke."

Jiaojiao nodded gently, processing the answer, but new doubts quickly welled up in her mind. She suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide with disbelief and shock, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels: "Then why were you struck by lightning? This is too outrageous, how could you suffer such a misfortune out of nowhere?" This question had always been like a fog, troubling her, and now that she finally had the chance, she was determined to get to the bottom of it.

Donghua's expression softened yet hardened. Recalling that experience, he sighed softly and said slowly, "The moment I saw my name on the Three Lives Stone, memories of the past flooded back. I immediately remembered why your name wasn't on the Three Lives Stone. At that moment, I had only one thought in my mind: no matter the cost, I had to carve your name next to mine. I thought, even if it meant going against the will of Heaven, I had to let everyone know that the bond between us was unbreakable."

Jiaojiao was both annoyed and amused. Her delicate face was filled with helplessness. She raised her hand and gently poked Donghua's chest, scolding him, "You are so foolish! I am an outsider. The Three Lives Stone follows the rules of Heaven. How could it possibly accept my name? Didn't you think of such a simple truth back then?" Although she said this, her heart was filled with Donghua's impulsive and ardent love.

Donghua was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, hugged Jiaojiao tighter, and muttered softly like a child who had made a mistake, "I was so impulsive at the time, and you were all I could think about. As long as I can be with you, I'd accept being struck by lightning."
