Chapter 36 The Defeat of the Chi, Sending the Immortal Back to His Hometown
One hour ago————
"You should go back now," he said (in the past).
Xuan Yue remained silent, glancing around. Time seemed to stand still, frozen on Xuan Qing's furious expression; frozen on the cries of the remaining golden crows; frozen on the Golden Roc clan's reinforcements crossing the barrier; frozen on the Abyss's agonizing groans…
"Since the timelines overlap and Dragon Sleep Valley's victory is already a foregone conclusion, then why does this world need to be 'rebooted'?"
[Time] (Past) No answer.
"You know the answer, so why don't you speak up!"
"This is not something you should know, Soul of the Golden Crow." Time (past) spoke, no longer referring to him as a transgressor, but as the Soul of the Golden Crow.
"So you can tell the difference? Then can I suspect that it was you so-called rulers who took away my Aqing?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Heh, you don't understand? Then let me analyze it for you. Xuanqing's original body existed in ancient times. It took thousands of years for him to develop intelligence. He then underwent tribulations and was nourished by the Dragon-Phoenix War before taking human form. As an 'Order,' he is different from other rulers. His power is the sum of all of yours. According to the origin of the Demon God, Xuanqing was probably born by that one."
These are just your guesses.
“The rulers disdain lying, and since you haven’t denied it, it means I’ve guessed the truth.” Xuan Yue looked directly into Time’s eyes: “The Abyss is corrupted by external forces. Even if the entire Golden Roc clan were sacrificed, only remnants would remain. Humans were assimilated into monsters, and vengeful spirits pervade the land. This is the truth behind the curse, the reason for the Golden Roc clan’s demise.”
Time (in the past) revealed murderous intent in his eyes, but Xuan Yue waved his hand and walked into the spatial tunnel.
“Even if I’m ignorant, I know why you don’t dare to lay a hand on me. It’s because my soul was replaced with half of A-Qing’s. If something happens to me, your plans will fall apart. Who knows what time period that guy is in? Right? Time reigns.”
[Time] (now) looking into the dark tunnel, [Time] (past) appearing beside her.
"He found out, he knew everything, and the situation was getting out of control." (Time: Past)
"It's out of control." Time (now) said helplessly, "Order has been overturned, and spacetime is in chaos."
"Should we talk to those people?"
"They will find out sooner or later, but not now. Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, not even to me."
Back to the present —
When Xuan Yue woke up, she learned about the situation from Ruo Tuo and immediately split up with him to provide support in two separate groups, which led to the current situation.
___________ dividing line___________
"Royavis? Impossible! You were sent back millions of years, how could you possibly come back!" Chi roared. "Where's Jin Yu! That good-for-nothing couldn't even hold you back!"
"Heh." Xuan Yue sneered and swung her sword. The sword energy pierced through the scales and cut straight into the flesh. Before Chi could react, another sword came flying at it, which it barely dodged.
"He's been left there forever!" Thinking of Jin Yu, Xuan Yue felt a surge of anger and unleashed a barrage of attacks, leaving the Chi unable to find an opening to retaliate. "Hiding like that, so annoying." With a single spatial confinement, she trapped the Chi inside.
Having absorbed a considerable amount of demonic power, the Chi dragon caused cracks to spread throughout the space. Xuan Yue showed little surprise, walking calmly step by step. Shao Yang transformed into a spear, golden hair grew, and golden wings sprouted from its back. Fear spread through the Chi dragon's heart, and it struggled even harder. In the instant it finally broke free, the golden spear was already before it.
"Swallows pierce the clouds!"
"Boom!" "Boom boom boom!" Smoke billowed out, revealing a huge crater, a testament to absolute power.
The dragon was pinned down by countless spears and swords, unable to move.
“He is a hero, not a piece of trash,” Xuan Yue coldly replied to his previous statement. “You should pay the price for your sins.”
"Xuan Yue...is it Xuan Yue...?" Gui Zhong's weakness prevented her from shouting, but seeing Xuan Yue's return made her happy.
"Gui Zhong... Sister Gui Zhong!" Xuan Yue immediately flew to her side. She had refused to call her "sister" before, but this time she said it out loud, knowing in her heart that this was probably the last time she would see her.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back... Liyue has been saved..." Gui Zhong smiled, tears streaming down his face.
“Gui Zhong…you…” Xuan Yue knew that Gui Zhong was leaving. Xuan Qing had told him that this was the cruelty of the war between demons and gods.
"Live well, and tell that blockhead... to keep an eye on Liyue for me..." In the end, he turned into a stone statue, leaving only a lock of the mortal world. Morax and Rota finally arrived, but ultimately, they were too late...
"Return to the End... Hargentus!"
—Mark Hughes' side—
"Hargentus, you still... Alas, fate is fickle..." Max Hughes looked at the last ley line, stretched out his hands, and poured all his power into them, his originally huge body gradually shrinking: (Morax, protect Liyue for us...)
The battle has finally come to an end. The story concludes with the Rock King Emperor suppressing Oser and his many demon gods beneath the Lonely Cloud Pavilion. The Bright Night Heavenly Lord arrives in time to defend the northern front. The Chi, burdened by deep sins, is personally crushed by the Emperor, his soul torn to pieces. Yet, the brutality of the war is unparalleled. The Dust Demon God, Hargentus, departs; the True Lord of Shifting Clouds and the True Lord of Resounding Sea and Dawning Clouds die from their wounds; the Yaksha Immortals also suffer heavy casualties; and the Furnace Demon God, Mark Hughes, loses all his power and goes into seclusion…
"How did the ceremony for sending off immortals go?" Xuan Yue looked up from her heavy stack of documents and asked the piles of "files" opposite her.
“I’ve left it to Liu Yun and Ge Chen…” Zhong Li’s voice was inevitably tinged with sadness.
"How about we see them off..."
"Um……"
Throughout the journey, the two gods remained silent, tacitly avoiding any topic of conversation. Standing atop the celestial pavilion amidst the towering clouds, they gazed down at the river lanterns, now transformed into lanterns made of floating stones, soaring through the sky; they listened to the music of the washing bells, mingling with the strains of the guqin…
"Morax, if one day even Xuanqing and I are leaving, please take a good look at Liyue for us." Xuanyue suddenly said this, and Morax looked at him, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"I long to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine, but it will never be like the carefree days of my youth." Xuan Yue sighed.
————Mini Theater—————
"Sister Guizhong... Waaah..." Xuan Yue threw herself into Guizhong's arms and began to cry pitifully.
"Little Xuan Yue, be good. Stories are all lies, okay?" Gui Zhong patted Xuan Yue's head and smiled gently.
"Why is Xuan Yue crying? Who bullied you?" Xuan Qing had just rushed back from another theater when he saw this scene.
"Ah Qing... Waaah... Waaah!" Xuan Yue cried even harder when she saw Xuan Qing.
"What's going on?" Xuan Qing was completely baffled.
"Xuan Yue hasn't finished acting yet. Today is my last scene with Mark Hughes and the others," Gui Zhong said helplessly.
"Don't cry, Yue. It's all the author's fault. Let's go find him and ask him to revise the script."
“That Xuanqing, the author has already gone a hundred and eight thousand miles away, and even left you a note.” Minghai took the note and handed it to Xuanqing.
The message read: "Hey bro, let's talk this out. I can explain. This is just a fan fiction script, so the wrongdoer should be held accountable. You should send the original creator razor blades."
"...That makes sense." Ping'er came over and took a look, giving a fair assessment. Xuan Yue in Xuan Qing's arms stopped crying, which relieved everyone.
"Xuanqing, where have you been lately?" Xuanyue asked.
"It's a long story."
"Long story short."
"Then don't talk about it."
"Damn it, you big iceberg!"
Looking at the two of them, Gui Zhong and the others all thought in unison: Here we go again...
