Kunlun Mountains.

Inside the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable's Palace.

Lingbao Tianzun: "The spiritual treasure you asked me to forge will take about 30,000 years to complete."

In other words, if Ye Xingxue came to Kunlun Mountain this time to retrieve the spiritual treasure from him, he has arrived too early.

“I know,” Ye Xingxue said. “Mount Buzhou is too stuffy, let’s go for a walk.”

Lingbao Tianzun understood: "So, you specially sent Luoluo here to school?"

It's just something to listen to for entertainment; just listen to it and that's fine.

"Um."

Lingbao Tianzun: "..."

Lingbao Tianzun glanced at Ye Xingxue a few times, knowing that his body had not yet fully recovered, and said, "You shall continue to sleep, shall you?"

Five hundred thousand years ago, the earth's energy suddenly became unbalanced.

Over the past 500,000 years, although a group of ancient gods with the most profound divine power, such as Ye Xingxue, intervened to curb the imbalance of the earth's energy and temporarily stabilize it, the imbalance of the earth's energy has become an established trend.

The earth's energy will eventually collapse completely when it becomes uncontrollable.

That will be the time when heaven and earth return to chaos.

At that time, not only ordinary beings from all realms will perish, but even the gods will all perish.

Night Snow and his companions can only suppress the balance of the earth's energy twice more at most.

In fact, if an extreme situation were to occur, Ye Xingxue and his team might not even be able to hold on for even one time.

Night Snow: "Mm."

His health condition is still not very good.

There are too many interfering factors to accurately predict when the earth's energy will become unbalanced again.

He needs to prepare as soon as possible.

When are you going back to Buzhou Mountain?

"After finishing the first class at the academy."

Lingbao Tianzun: "..."

That is, five years from now.

After Lingbao Tianzun left, Ye Xingxue tapped her fingertip, and the scene of Ling Luo attending class was clearly projected before her eyes.

This section is a lesson on magic.

Ling Luo was exceptionally talented; she could immediately learn and master the spells taught by the Celestial Master of Spells.

While the other little immortals who went to school with her were still struggling to figure things out, she was already tinkering with other spells. The Celestial Venerable of Spells personally guided her and nodded repeatedly in satisfaction.

After the Celestial Venerable of Magic walked away, He Lin sneaked over and sat down on the side of the bench where Ling Luo was sitting, leaning close to Ling Luo's ear to whisper something.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xingxue paused.

However, He Lin left soon after.

After that, Ling Luo stayed in her seat and diligently improved her magic.

After the class was more than halfway through, the Celestial Master of Spells left for a while. Ling Luo slightly modified the several spells she had learned, combined them together, and condensed them into a butterfly. Then she got up and handed it to He Lin, who was still pondering the new spells that the Celestial Master of Spells had taught her a year ago.

When He Lin saw that Ling Luo had actually succeeded, he was so happy that he immediately began to test the power of the butterfly formed by the fusion of these various spells. After testing it, he was extremely satisfied. Taking advantage of the absence of the Spell Master, he showed off the butterfly to his other friends and then happily returned to Ling Luo's side, chattering away.

But Ling Luo looked on, seemingly very happy.

Ye Xingxue stared for a long time, then with a flick of his wide sleeves, the scene before him vanished without a trace.

After class, there will be fifty days of break time between classes.

During these fifty days, Ling Luo and He Lin plan to leave the academy to pick an extremely rare immortal herb that they had accidentally discovered three thousand years ago when they secretly slipped out of the academy, because that immortal herb happens to mature within this month.

They go there now, and after arriving, they wait a few more days until the immortal herb reaches maturity.

Just as they were about to leave the academy, they saw Ye Xingxue already waiting in the distance.

He Lin's eyes widened: "Your family—"

Why didn't you tell me sooner that the Snow Goddess was coming to pick you up from school?

He didn't say it aloud, but Ling Luo knew what he meant.

She shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Ye Xingxue said he had something to discuss with her master, and she assumed he had left after seeing Lingbao Tianzun...

"Then I'll wait for you, don't be late."

"good."

He Lin secretly left from the side.

Ling Luo walked quickly towards Ye Xingxue: "I thought you went back to Buzhou Mountain."

"I'll go back in a few days."

"oh……"

How was the class?

"fine."

Do you find classes boring?

Ling Luo shook her head: "No, it's very interesting."

After staying at Lingbao Tianzun's mansion with Ye Xingxue for two or three days, He Lin frequently contacted her because it was almost time and he was afraid she would miss the deadline.

She kept getting distracted, which Ye Xingxue noticed.

She became increasingly distracted, as if she couldn't stay any longer and wanted to leave immediately.

He paused for a moment before finally asking, "Luo Luo, is something wrong?"

"Well, there's something I need to take care of..." Ling Luo glanced at Ye Xingxue, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "I have to go out for a bit, I won't be able to see you off later..."

The snow will leave Kunlun Mountain at night.

She had intended to give it to him.

But now it seems there's no time left.

Ye Xingxue took a sip of tea before saying, "It's alright, go ahead."

"Okay." Ling Luo was in a bit of a hurry and ran off quickly, but then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly turned back and said, "You...you take care of yourself."

Seeing her suddenly return, Ye Xingxue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said gently, "Yes, I will, and so will Luo Luo."

Ye Xingxue often smiles in her presence.

But his smile seemed slightly different from before. Ling Luo stared at him, paused for a moment, then nodded and turned to leave.

Neither of them expected that this would be the last time they met.

The imbalance of the earth's energy, coupled with the spread of demonic energy, has accelerated the loss of the earth's energy.

After sleeping for nearly 100,000 years, Ye Xingxue awoke midway through her slumber after sensing a severe imbalance in the earth's energy.

The same applies to other ancient deities.

This time, the imbalance of the earth's energy is much more serious than the previous two times.

This situation—

Ye Xingxue glanced at the Heavenly Array outside Buzhou Mountain, which was on the verge of collapse due to the imbalance of earth energy, paused, and asked, "Where is Your Highness now?"

Barring unforeseen circumstances, Ling Luo should have finished her studies 30,000 years ago.

I wonder what it's like now—

"Your Highness has been traveling extensively these past few years and hasn't returned often. However, Your Highness has successfully crafted several divine artifacts that have earned widespread acclaim. Now, it's widely believed that the Celestial Venerable Lingbao has a worthy successor—"

Is there anything else?

The little fairy attendant knew what he was thinking, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness and that crane have a very good relationship, and they often travel together..."

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingxue lowered her eyelids slightly, asked no further questions, and left.

After stabilizing the Heavenly Array at the summit of Buzhou Mountain, Ye Xingxue made a hand seal and sent out several letters.

After a moment, he glanced at the place where he was born and raised, then vanished into thin air.

More than a hundred years later, Ling Luo returned from her travels and received a letter left for her by Ye Xingxue.

The letter contained only one short line: Luo Luo, take care. —Night Snow.

This is a farewell letter.

She knew that the ancient gods, including Ye Xingxue, had once again gone to the important place to repair the earth's energy more than a hundred years ago.

However, the earth's energy in those places was severely imbalanced, and ordinary immortals would be reduced to ashes before they even got close.

Although she was often praised by her elders as the number one among the new generation of minor gods, compared with ancient gods like Ye Xingxue, she was still too young and couldn't offer much help in the past.

Twenty thousand years later, the ancient gods, including Ye Xingxue, who went to the key location to stabilize the earth's energy, dispersed their divine power and finally saved the earth's energy from the brink of collapse.

It is said to be temporary because 130,000 years later, the earth's energy will collapse again.

Although there are new generations of gods like Ling Luo who have grown up, the collapse of the earth's energy has actually been intensifying.

After the gods held out for 30,000 years, the earth's energy could no longer sustain it, and it collapsed completely.

All the gods have fallen.

Heaven and earth returned to chaos once more.

Ye Xingxue opened her eyes.

Ling Luo was staring at him, slightly stunned.
