Time passed slowly, and Philip stayed in this valley longer and longer.
In fact, 20 years passed in the blink of an eye, but Philip had not recalled anything.
Jane had grown into a beautiful woman with fair skin and bright eyes who would capture
anyone's heart at first sight. Unfortunately, Philip still looked like a young man, which
puzzled Jane and her family.
They also realized that Philip was stronger than them. He easily lifted things with one hand
when even two of them could not lift them. However, seeing that he did not do anything
unwarranted, the family did not think too much about it but felt a little happy instead.
Moreover, Philip's unchanged appearance made him look similar to Jane's age, which gave
them the idea of marrying Jane to Philip.
Time passed again. After 30 years, Philip still looked the same, but his life had completely
integrated into the valley.

getting old.
Philip still tried to explore the memory in his mind by habit but to no avail.
/ don't think I have any hope of finding myself in this life. In that case, I should just...
After another failed attempt, this idea popped into Philip's mind, but before this thought
fully manifested, he felt flustered for no reason.
No, this situation isn't right...
Philip muttered under his breath.
Pain crossed his eyes, and his panic continued to grow. No one noticed that Philip's body
was shining brightly in the room.
This isn't right. Nothing feels right...
Amidst the light, Philip found that the surrounding environment had become a little
distorted as if a change was happening outside the cottage. Philip's pupils constricted as
chills spread all over him.
/ have to get my memory back... This isn't real. Nothing is right!
Philip muttered trying to see the changes.
Suddenly, a voice rang in Philip's mind.
It was Jane's voice, which sounded extremely gentle as she said, "Philip, what's wrong?
Are you going to abandon us?"
There was a hint of grievance in the gentle voice, which melted Philip's heart into a
puddle.
Jane's voice continued to speak, "Philip, stay with us, okay?"
Philip's heart softened even more. When he was about to agree, a flash of inspiration
struck him.
No, this isn't right!
Jane isn't home now... How could her voice appear in my mind?!

Chills spread through Philip in an instant.
The next moment, Philip gasped as his memories flooded into his mind.
/ get it now!
I’m Philip, the master of Big Dipper Palace. I'm Philip Clarke!
The illusion that surrounded him shattered into pieces.
What a powerful illusion!
Philip's expression returned to calm, his gaze became firm, and he also understood that
what he experienced just now was just an illusion created by the Spectral Fire. His
memory was completely sealed in that illusion as he experienced the life of an ordinary
person.
If his will was a little weaker and he succumbed to his feelings to return under Jane's
persuasion, his life might be over by now.
