What Isabella finds strange is that Zuan seems completely unaware that his flesh and blood are dissolving, and continues to walk forward.

She couldn't help but shout, "Brother Zu! Brother Zu!"

Unfortunately, no matter how she shouted, Zu'an seemed not to hear her at all.

At this moment, Zaun seemed to have entered another space. He was no longer walking on chains on a cliff, but appeared in the moon.

A biting chill permeated the surroundings; apart from a nearly withered osmanthus tree, there was no sign of life.

In the distance stood a desolate palace, and he was filled with excitement. It was the Guanghan Palace!

He longed to see Chang'e again, who was the ancient mermaid queen, Gong Suyin. He rushed over, but found that he couldn't open the door no matter what he did.

"Suyin, Suyin!"

All he could do was keep knocking on the door and calling out.

After a long silence, a puzzled voice came from inside: "Who are you?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zu An immediately became excited: "Su Yin, it's me, Zu An!"

"Zu'an?" The figure inside murmured his name, then shook his head after a long while. "I don't remember him."

Zu An was taken aback, but quickly recovered: "I'm sorry, Su Yin. I know you're angry with me, but I've been searching for a way to get back to you all these years. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find one until now."

He was filled with guilt and for a moment he didn't even care how he got here.

At this moment, the gate opened, and a woman in palace attire walked out. Her features were exquisite, and the ribbons on her clothes fluttered in the wind. She was truly a woman of unparalleled beauty.

Upon seeing her, Zu An could no longer contain his excitement and rushed over to hug her.

Unfortunately, the other party dodged it with a quick movement, his expression turning cold: "Young master, please have some self-respect!"

“Suyin, it’s me!” Zuan looked astonished.

“Suyin…you’ve been calling me Suyin, young master, you must have mistaken me for someone else. I’m not Suyin, I’m Chang’e.” The beautiful woman said seriously, then a hint of doubt flashed between her brows, “But the name Suyin does sound familiar, I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before.”

Seeing that her expression didn't seem fake, Zu'an's heart skipped a beat: "You are Chang'e, and also the ancient mermaid queen, Gong Suyin..."

He then gave a general account of why the two of them had traveled through time, why she had become the Holy Maiden of the Chang Clan, and how she was forced to take the elixir of immortality and ascend to heaven, only to be trapped in the Guanghan Palace.

"An interesting story..." The stunning woman nodded slightly.

Seeing that she remained calm, Zu An's heart sank to the bottom: "This is not a story, this is what really happened between us."

The stunningly beautiful woman sized him up: "Now that you mention it, I seem to vaguely recall some things."

"I remember waiting for someone all these years. Is that person you?"

Zuan was incredibly excited: "Yes, you remembered."

“I remember now. I remember the first thousand years were the hardest. Countless times I heard the slightest rustling outside and thought it was you. But every time I opened the door, there was nothing there. All I got was disappointment.”

"sorry."

"You don't need to apologize, all of that is in the past."

"..."

"The next ten thousand years will also be very difficult for me, but by then I won't rush to open the door just because of any noise outside, because I'm afraid of being disappointed again."

"Another 100,000 years have passed, and I seem to have lost all hope, because I know you won't come back. I'm just waiting instinctively. At that time, even your image in my mind has gradually become blurry. Even though I tried to draw you, I could draw your whole body clearly, but I just couldn't bring myself to draw your face."

"Then three hundred thousand years passed, and I even forgot about waiting, and forgot about our past. I had long been used to life in the Moon Palace."

The stunningly beautiful woman's answer plunged his heart into an ice cave.

"Suyin, I'm sorry, I arrived too late and made you suffer for so many years." Zu'an was completely distraught. Three hundred thousand years! That's such a despairing amount of time.

The stunning woman shook her head slightly: "You really don't need to apologize to me. It's all in the past, and I've long since gotten used to it all. Time truly is the best medicine to heal all wounds. When I recall everything from back then, I no longer feel sadness or agitation, only endless peace."

Before Zu'an could say anything more, the stunning woman had already turned and left, and the palace gates began to slowly close: "Go. That was just a naive feeling from 300,000 years ago. I have lived a very long life. The time I spent with you is insignificant compared to 300,000 years. Now I have no feelings for you anymore. Please do as you please, young master."

The moment the palace gates closed completely, Zu'an felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

But he couldn't criticize the other person at all; what kind of vows of eternal love could withstand the wear and tear of 300,000 years?

It's all my fault for losing her, and all these years I still haven't found a way to reunite with her.

However, deep down he still didn't want to admit defeat, and was about to go into the Moon Palace to say something again.

Unfortunately, the scene before him disappeared in the next second. After a dizzying spin, he found that he was no longer surrounded by the lifeless Guanghan Palace.

Instead, it is a place of birdsong, fragrant flowers, and misty green mountains and clear waters.

Every blade of grass and every tree on this mountain evokes a sense of familiarity and warmth.

A thought struck him: This is Wushan, this is Wushan.

He staggered to the top of the mountain and looked at the beautiful and majestic Goddess Peak.

"You've finally arrived." A soft sigh rang out.

As if coming to life, Goddess Peak turned around and looked directly at him.

Zu An's voice trembled slightly: "Yao Ji, is that you?"

"Have you already forgotten me..." Goddess Peak's voice became resentful.

"No, I'm afraid you'll forget me." Zu'an felt a sharp pain in his heart again as he thought about what he had just experienced at the Guanghan Palace.

"How could I forget you? I've been waiting for you all this time, but unfortunately I've become like this now, quite ugly indeed." Shennvfeng's voice faded, and suddenly a dark cloud appeared around the entire Wushan Mountain, and a light rain began to fall, as if the goddess was weeping.

"Can't you return to human form?" Zuan's voice trembled.

"Time has passed too long, it seems like 300,000 years have gone by. I really envy Chang'e. She ate the elixir of immortality and has a long life. It's a pity that I can't live that long. Only by completely transforming into this Goddess Peak can I hold out until your arrival."

"Unfortunately, too much time has passed, and I can no longer maintain my consciousness; I am about to dissipate." Goddess Peak's voice was filled with regret.

"What!" Zu'an never expected that the reunion would end like this. He used the Law of Heaven and Earth to make his body grow huge and embrace the Goddess Peak in his arms, just like when he hugged the Goddess of Wushan back then.

"You don't need to be sad. I'm already very lucky. In the final moments before I was about to disappear, I finally waited for you." Her voice was still as gentle and ethereal as it had been back then.
