Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

"At this moment, we have a breaking news: In the 671st year of the Sky Calendar, Ms. Lilia, the honorary dean of the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Alchemy Workshop, mysteriously passed away in her residence at the age of fifty-two. Just when her arcane research was ushering in brilliant results, the mystery of her bizarre death has yet to be revealed. Rumor has it that the Imperial Crown Prince and the Federal Regent have rushed to the Healing Temple. From now on, all celebrations across the empire will be suspended, and the whole country will mourn for three days. The memorial ceremony will be held two days later."

Among the vast stars, whether in the crystal-paved city alleys, psychic loudspeakers, magic bulletin boards, or on the distant and desolate lost planets, this sound echoed like a sad song, causing billions of stars to fall silent, and countless creatures stopped, unable to believe what they heard.

How is it possible? How could Dean Lilia suffer such misfortune?

She was only fifty-two years old, in the prime of her youth, considering that the average life expectancy in the interstellar age was over one hundred and fifty. Moreover, she was of great significance to the empire, having contributed countless brilliant inventions. Because of her, the empire's arcane civilization had advanced by at least a century. Because of her, the bright pearl that rose from the barren land inspired countless people, and even the current peaceful and prosperous empire was partly due to her contribution.

How could such a talented woman leave like this?

Countless people burst into tears, as if they had fallen into an endless abyss.

The news publisher seemed to sense the people's grief. After a brief silence, he continued, "The glory of the empire has fallen, but... may the goddess be eternal."

Three days later, the highest scientific honor, the Star Award, was awarded to Lilia as an exception for the first time, and she was posthumously awarded the Eternal Achievement Medal. However, no brave man could walk to the podium that symbolized supreme glory and hold up the trophy.

In the main city located in the heart of the galaxy, a magnificent monument to heroes rises into the clouds. Lilia's name is forever engraved here, and the light of the stars shines on every admirer who passes by.

Lilia's consciousness was ethereal and she didn't know where she was, but she knew that she was gone and no one noticed. This was her second time facing death. Everyone knew that she rose from the barren land, but no one knew that the soul that landed on the ruins was a soul from another world, full of holes, and fearless because she had nothing.

Her departure was not complicated. She was simply exhausted, carefree, and alone after experiencing two lives. Death was not a fear for her, but rather a release.

Unlike the first time she woke up in the slums, this time, her soul seemed to be wandering in the universe, witnessing countless people crying and mourning for her. She saw that the once barren land had become a prosperous magical city, and the people there were all proud of her. When her consciousness faded, she looked up at the starry sky and smiled for the first time in a long time.

"Sister, wake up quickly and drink this medicine. Your father got it for you from Lingquan Town. You will get better after drinking it." A slightly childish voice sounded.

"Xiaoting, don't disturb my sister. She got caught in the rain. Let her rest for a while. Put the medicine aside and wait for her to drink it when she wakes up." A calm middle-aged man stopped him...

Lilia woke up from her daze with a splitting headache. Before she could sort out her thoughts, the two voices sounded like the roar of the devil. She suddenly opened her eyes and met two concerned faces.

How is it possible? Lilia's pupils suddenly shrank, her heart was shaken, and she quickly looked around. The dilapidated stone hut was filled with poverty. The small space seemed particularly empty due to the lack of furniture. Yes, this was the home where she spent her childhood in her previous life. The two people in front of her were her adoptive father and younger brother.

Why did she return to that past life?

An antique mirror on the bedside was facing her. Lilia looked at her face in confusion. It was green and a little childish. This was undoubtedly the appearance of Alia when she was a teenager in her previous life!

Lilia's memory was amazingly strong, and she quickly recalled the current situation. At this moment, Alia must have escaped from the academy before her biological parents came to pick her up because she learned the truth about her life experience, got caught in the rain and got sick, and was taken back soon after. From then on... the nightmare began.

She was originally a child of the Lil family, a magical family in Lancheng. At that time, Arlia's mother, who was also her biological mother, was about to become pregnant. She was bored at home and insisted on going out, but she accidentally triggered the fluctuation of magic. Due to family disputes, she had to give birth in the magic hospital in the county. Coincidentally, her adoptive mother was also in the same hospital. The two families had the same surname, Lil. As fate would have it, the children were accidentally swapped. This mistake lasted for sixteen years.

Not long ago, Princess Lianna of the Lil family encountered a not-so-small magical accident. Lil and his wife, Thuram and Lisabet rushed to the hospital. After calming down, they found that the medical report was wrong. Both of them had magical type A blood, so how could they give birth to a daughter with magical type B blood?

Thuram secretly investigated and found out that Arlia, who was born in the county hospital, was taken away by mistake by another family with the surname Lil, and the real daughter spent sixteen years in the countryside.

The bloodline of the Lil family could not be scattered elsewhere, but they could not bear to let their daughter, who was raised by their side, return to the countryside to suffer. After careful consideration, they decided to raise two children at the same time. For them, it was not difficult to take care of one more child, and they only needed to pay a certain amount of compensation to the other side.

Thuram took Liana to find Lilia's father, the honest farmer Dagenis. He was incredulous at first, but he was speechless in the face of the accumulated evidence. He was unwilling to accept the proposal to raise both daughters together, but he finally compromised in front of Liana's tears. Looking at his biological daughter whom he had never seen, he could not say the words to let her return to suffering.

Finally, he agreed to let the Lil family take away his daughter Lilia, whom he had raised, but he firmly refused to accept any money from the Lil family.

When the sixteen-year-old Ellia learned the truth, she became suspicious. Although her family was not wealthy, her father, Great Janis, had always treated her very well. However, she was young and helpless, so she could not resist and was eventually taken back by the Lil family.

Lilia, who grew up in the countryside, returns to the Lil family for the first time. She is out of tune with the whole family, especially with Lianna, who grew up in a wealthy environment. Lianna is knowledgeable and proficient in music and painting, while she has no strengths except studying...

In this mysterious continent, Li Li was born in an ancient magic family in Youshui Township. However, her magic talent was mediocre in the family, and after coming to the prosperous Blue Crystal City, she seemed even more bleak. As time went by, her self-esteem gradually eroded, and her relatives began to ignore her and favor her brilliant sister Li Yan.

In order to consolidate her position in the family, Li Yan used all means to exclude Li Li, setting up traps at school and at home. In the end, Li Li was framed as the culprit of casting dark magic and was sentenced to fifteen years in the Netherworld Prison.

In prison, Li Yan's shadow was everywhere. Li Li was like a deer caught in a pack of wolves, being bullied. However, even though she had nothing, the tenacity in her heart did not disappear. On the edge of despair, she burst out with great strength, and her resistance with her life as a bet made many people feel afraid. Ten years passed like a dream, she spent her days in the gloomy prison, and finally died in the conspiracy of several prisoner leaders.

At the end of her life, the fragments of memory flickered like phantoms, and finally settled in the broken magical house of the Li family in Youshui Township. Li Li's heart was filled with unprecedented regret. If there was an afterlife, she would no longer cling to the false blood relationship, and would do her best to protect her adoptive father and younger brother.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself reborn in the slums of Xingchen River, Li Li, who was seriously ill. Drawing on the tenacity and wisdom of her previous life, she rose from the ruins, eagerly learning all kinds of knowledge, and eventually became a highly respected magic scholar, known as the shining pearl of the galaxy. However, no one knew that she had been empty in her heart for a long time, and she could not find the meaning of life. At the end of a study, she chose to self-destruct and sealed everything in the past.

Time flows, fate plays tricks on her, and she has returned to the starting point after crossing countless barriers of stars. Decades of time seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Li woke up from her memories. Looking at her still healthy adoptive father and young brother, tears quietly fell. When she was imprisoned, Li Dajun heard the news and fell ill out of grief. Coupled with years of hard work, he passed away in just two years.

Now that fate has brought her back to Jiangyu, Li Li vows to protect her father, younger brother, and every member of the Li family. She will "repay" them with ten times the care and love for the past "hurts"!

Seeing his daughter crying and looking pale, Li Dajun was extremely anxious, thinking that she was still struggling with her past. His rough fingers gently brushed her cheek, "Lili, it's okay. When you recover, you can go back with your biological parents. There will be a better life there, and you don't have to suffer with your father. You can come back anytime you want. You will always be my father's daughter."

Li Li nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Come, drink the medicine first. Your health is the most important." Li Dajun handed over the bowl of medicine.

Li Li took it with both hands and drank the bitter herb in one gulp, without showing any pain. After all the sufferings in the world, what was this little bit of suffering?

"Dad, I know you are thinking about me. I will go back with them, but you also have to promise me that you and Xiaoting will live a good life. I will come back to see you often."

"Okay, okay, Daddy promises you." How could Li Dajun refuse such a resolute daughter? Moreover, this was for her happiness...

While Li Li was sleeping, Li Dajun took Li Ting out of the mysterious dream room.

Li Li lay on the magic woven bed, her thoughts traveling through the fragments of countless parallel worlds. At this moment, restoring strength is the top priority. As for the future of the Li family, time will reveal everything.
