"Afang... Ziyun!"
Looking at the bronze coffin floating on the mercury river, Li Ling murmured, his gaze softening.
With a wave of his hand, a streak of multicolored light swept across, pulling the bronze coffin to Li Ling's side.
"Your Majesty...this bronze coffin?"
General Yang hesitated, clearly curious about who was inside the bronze coffin.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
Li Ling glanced at General Yang indifferently. The person buried in the bronze coffin was not the Dragon Emperor, but the Dragon Emperor's most beloved woman, Afang.
More accurately, he is the reincarnation of Gu Ziyun.
Once upon a time, when Li Ling was still the Dragon Emperor, there was a woman named A Fang who was as beautiful as a fairy. After the Dragon Emperor unified the world, he wanted to make her his empress, but this was opposed by the ministers and relatives, simply because A Fang was a woman from the Zhao family.
Not wanting to put the Dragon Emperor in a difficult position, the woman from Epang Palace committed suicide out of love. To commemorate the woman he had deeply loved, the Dragon Emperor built the Epang Palace.
This is what Li Ling learned from the Dragon Emperor's memories. His current goal is to resurrect the woman he loves.
"Don't touch anything here!"
Li Ling gave General Yang an order: the tomb is full of traps and mechanisms; to move anything recklessly is to commit suicide.
"promise!"
General Yang and the others felt a chill run down their spines.
With a wave of his hand, Li Ling caused the lid of the bronze coffin in front of him to fly up and land on the ground to the side, revealing a woman with delicate features and dressed in a palace dress embroidered with phoenixes. It was none other than Ju Ziyun.
Two thousand years have passed, but Ziyun's face is still rosy and looks like a living person.
"Ziyun." Li Ling called softly, gently stroking Ziyun's face. Back then, when Afang committed suicide, the Dragon Emperor used witchcraft to ensure that her body would never decay or be damaged after death.
Li Ling flipped his hand, and the Reincarnation Disc appeared in his hand. With another wave of his hand, a fountain of immortality appeared in the air.
With a flick of his wrist, the Wheel of Reincarnation came to rest steadily above Ziyun's forehead and began to spin.
Li Ling pressed down with his palm, and the fountain of youth in the air poured into Zi Yun's body, activating her physical vitality.
Next, Li Ling placed his palm on the spinning Wheel of Reincarnation, continuously channeling his magical power into it, and chanted, "Soul, return!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a gust of cold wind suddenly arose, and the entire underground palace became dark.
"this……"
General Yang and the others were all astonished, their hearts sinking as they were shaken by the sudden change in the eerie atmosphere.
However, they were all very well-behaved, and although they were surprised, none of them dared to make a move.
"May your soul return!"
Li Ling's melodious voice rang out again.
"Phew~"
A phantom portal appeared in the sky. As Li Ling called out, a phantom figure floated out from behind the portal. It was a woman. The woman's figure was illusory, and ripples appeared on her phantom figure from time to time, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
This is the soul of Afang, or rather, Ziyun.
Since obtaining the Reincarnation Disc, Li Ling has learned from the information he received that the Reincarnation Disc has the function of gathering the souls of the dead and resurrecting them.
The function of the Reincarnation Wheel is similar to that of the Egyptian classic, the Book of the Dead. Of course, the prerequisite for gathering the souls of the dead and resurrecting them is that the souls of the dead must still exist.
In the first two Mummy movies, the Egyptian high priest Imhotep used the Book of the Dead to resurrect his lover Anshuna.
This world is a subordinate small world of the Heavenly Dao World, the 'Primordial World'. The Primordial World has a Reincarnation Underworld. Although this world does not have an Underworld, the power of reincarnation still exists, and the souls of the dead will be reincarnated under the influence of the power of reincarnation.
Back then, the Dragon Emperor buried Afang in this underground palace. Because of the presence of the twelve golden bodies of demon gods, the power of reincarnation was isolated in the underground palace, causing Ziyun's soul to wander in this underground palace.
Now, Li Ling intends to use the Reincarnation Disc to awaken Zi Yun's soul and resurrect her! (Wish Star of All Realms)

Chapter 228: The Golden Bodies of the Twelve Demon Gods
As Li Ling continued to call out, Gu Ziyun's illusory soul swayed and entered his own body inside the bronze coffin.
"Phew~"
Things went smoothly, and Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Then he pressed his palm down again, and the Reincarnation Disc that had been floating above Gu Ziyun's forehead slowly descended.
During the descent, the palm-sized wheel of reincarnation slowly shrank, eventually shrinking to the size of a longan, and landed on Ziyun's forehead, transforming into a tai chi symbol between her eyebrows.
From now on, the Reincarnation Disc will be Ziyun's natal magic weapon.
Li Ling has his own natal magic weapon, the Qiankun Sword, and the World Tree absorbs countless laws to feed back to him, so his path to cultivation will be smooth and he won't have to worry about anything. However, Gu Ziyun doesn't yet have a treasure to protect him, and the Reincarnation Disc is just the right treasure to protect her.
"Hmm~"
With a soft moan, Ziyun's eyelids trembled slowly, and finally, her large, dark, bright eyes reopened.
At first glance, those big eyes saw a majestic and handsome face, which was now adorned with a gentle and loving smile.
"His Majesty……"
The first thing Ziyun uttered upon waking was a call. Her memory was still stuck in the Qin Dynasty when she was reborn as Afang, the woman from the palace, and fell in love with the Dragon Emperor. But the next moment, Ziyun seemed dazed for a moment, and then softly called out again, "Husband..."
