Tao Yao never cared that Zhou Li forgot her.
"If not for Jian Jia, would you have kept it from me forever?"
Zhou Li asked, looking at Tao Yao.
Tao Yao didn't answer, but her reaction said it all.
When she realized that Zhou Li had no memory of their connection, Tao Yao decided to hide everything, never letting Zhou Li know about their past.
She didn't want Zhou Li to feel guilty.
She had already endured ten thousand years of suffering, and everything she had lost could never be regained. Even though she possessed the most complete humanity and was the only one among the Three Masters who might return to life, Tao Yao chose to give up immortality for self-dissolution, living out the remaining decades with Zhou Li with a fragile existence.
