Nostalgia

"How do gods govern the three realms?" Xu Shulou was curious, "Will you interfere in human affairs?"

"We will not interfere with the natural development of human beings. For example, we will never intervene in the wars in the human world," the guard pointed to the sky, "We mainly defend against disasters that may cause the destruction of the three realms. I can't reveal more. You can see the details with your own eyes after you ascend."

The guard went back to the divine realm to get materials to repair the cableway, and took Xu Shulou back to his original paradise in the fairyland.

She spotted a familiar figure in the crowd at a glance. The figure was wearing a wide-sleeved robe, looked ethereal, and was holding a struggling... golden pheasant in his hand.

This combination is really unthinkable. Xu Shulou looked at the back and asked, "Master?"

Immortal Chang Yu turned around and looked at her in surprise: "Good disciple!"

Xu Shulou walked forward quickly, but was forced to take a step back by the golden pheasant flapping in his hand: "Took it out from the Beast Taming Bureau? This... doesn't seem edible."

"I know," Chang Yu touched the cock's comb with regret, "I just want to get closer to it."

"..." Xu Shulou glanced at the golden pheasant that was facing a formidable enemy, and spread his hands to show that he could do nothing to help it. "Master, when did you ascend to heaven?"

"Well...about a hundred years later than you."

"A hundred years?" Xu Shulou was stunned. "How could it be a hundred years?"

"Judging from your reaction, you are not simply disliking my training speed?"

“…”

Chang Yu frowned and stopped stroking the cock's comb: "Could it be that the saying 'one day in heaven is one year on earth' really applies here?"

"Not here," a female voice interrupted their conversation, "It's the light column. I asked the three people who were rescued in the light column. They were trapped there for about three or four months. Here, a thousand years have passed. Since Miss Xu entered the light column, we have been waiting for a very long time."

Xu Shulou was stunned and felt a little annoyed by these strange creations in the fairy world.

The person who came was naturally Xi'e, and she looked anxious: "Miss Xu, what's the result?"

Xu Shulou pointed behind him and said, "Someone is already helping to repair it."

There was no need to hide the truth, so she told the whole story.

Xi'e was stunned where she stood. Over the years, she had wondered whether the fairy world had been abandoned by the gods. However, she never expected the truth to be so simple, so ridiculous, and yet so... infuriating.

Everyone was shocked and angry, anxious and furious when they heard this. If they could defeat him, they would have wanted to grab the guard and beat him up.

Others cried and laughed, flew around the square several times, and shouted: "Free at last! I am finally free!"

Most people had bewildered expressions on their faces, as if they were suddenly awakened from their relaxed lives and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Amid the commotion, Chang Yu glanced at the golden pheasant in his hand and said thankfully, "Fortunately, I didn't ascend to the other half."

“…”

“But after I ascended, I have been wandering around here for so long, but I haven’t seen the head of our Wuchen Island. He actually ascended earlier than me,” Chang Yu sighed, “It seems that he is probably on the other side. Tsk tsk, how miserable it is!”

"..." With the idle nature of the people on Wuchen Island, they are indeed not suitable to linger on the other side of the fairyland. Xu Shulou could only express his deepest greetings to the leader in his heart.

She asked about serious matters: "How are the junior brothers and sisters?"

"It's fine. Before I ascended to heaven, I handed Mingyue Peak over to your second junior brother," Chang Yu laughed, "Don't worry, you taught them well."

“…”

The guard seemed to have noticed the outrage. After repairing the cableway, he appeared behind Xu Shulou and took her away to ask, "Have you explained everything clearly?"

Xu Shulou nodded: "Yes."

"Okay, I'm not very good at this. Another god will come to comfort everyone later. I will leave first to break the seal of the light column."

"Wait," Xu Shulou stopped him, "The time velocity of the light column is a question..."

The guard listened to her carefully and said, "It's probably the effect of the seal. You don't have enough strength to pass through there, so the light column automatically absorbed the time from you as compensation."

Xu Shulou looked up and felt that these things were too complicated. The mortal world was the most familiar.

"Why did they stay for three months, which was a thousand years, but I stayed for just a moment, and a hundred years passed?"

"You have truly passed the seal, so the time you have consumed is greater than that of the three trapped people. Don't worry, we will take care of it when we repair the light column, and we guarantee that this problem will never occur again."

“…”

As soon as the cableway was restored, the immortals on both sides immediately became eager to visit each other's territory.

Chang Yu had no interest in joining the crowd to go on the cable car. He just sat there drinking in the Hundred Flowers Garden, touching the golden pheasant in his arms from time to time. He was very easy-going and seemed determined to carry on this relaxed life to the end.

The golden pheasant was eventually infected by his peaceful attitude, and gradually became at ease in his arms.

Xu Shulou couldn't help but wonder if his master was imagining the taste of roast chicken in the mortal world by stroking the golden pheasant.

She mixed in the crowd and took the cable car. She soon saw the library. It stood in the center of the other fairyland and was very conspicuous. In fact, considering that it was the only intact building here, it should be conspicuous.

Many people rushed in hastily, wanting to see the spiritual cultivation method, but Xu Shulou did not rush in to comprehend it. After taking a look around to broaden his horizons, he chose to step into the light column.

She returned to the mortal world.

What she wanted to pursue most was not the realm of gods. She was indeed quite curious about it, but what she was most attached to was always the world where she was born and raised.

Perhaps because it had just been restored, the passage was not yet very stable. After Xu Shulou jumped in, he was quickly bounced out from under the light column.

When the fairy fell to the mortal world, she was bounced from the sky like a bullet.

As a cultivator who would wave his folding fan and pose in a cool manner after killing someone, Xu Shulou never expected that he would be so embarrassed the first time he came to the mortal world after becoming an immortal.

She was hit so hard that she felt dizzy and could not steady herself in time. She could only wrap herself with spiritual power and fell heavily on a building.

Xu Shulou only had time to hear clearly that there was no breathing sound inside before he felt relieved and smashed it down.

There was a loud sound of wood and stone collapsing in her ears. She closed her eyes tightly, unable to bear to watch, and said sorry in her heart.

When she heard footsteps next to her ears, she opened her eyes and found herself surrounded by a group of soldiers.

The two sides faced each other solemnly at a distance of ten feet.

Wait... Soldiers? Xu Shulou hurried to see the collapsed buildings around him. This was originally a very grand building, majestic and magnificent, with a bright roof and stone statues of mythical beasts at the door.

This must be a mausoleum.

Fortunately, she only smashed through the outer structure, and the real coffin underground was intact.

Xu Shulou raised his eyes and found a line of words on the stele - "Monument to the Sacred Virtue of Emperor Xiao Taizu". Not far away there was a stone sculpture, which depicted the heroic figure of the emperor riding a horse and galloping across the battlefield.

Xu Shulou naturally recognized whose mausoleum this was. She sighed softly. This place belonged to Xiao Juncheng, the founding emperor of the Xiao Kingdom, the one who led an army and overthrew the Xu Dynasty.

Considering her relationship with the Xiao family, Xu Shulou turned stiffly and looked at the mausoleum guards: "I said I didn't mean it, will you believe me?"
