The altar was right in front of him, but Bai Xuan had no choice but to stop.

The giant beast stretched out horizontally in front of it, and behind it, countless smaller but still enormous monsters began to gather, densely packed together.

"Tragic!"

With a roar, the behemoth sent countless monsters sprouting wings and flying into the sky.

"Don't worry about anything, just keep flying!"

The red ball appeared behind Bai Xuan at some point, its body tense as it stared ahead.

Bai Xuan turned his head to look at it. Its fur was messy and covered with countless bloodstains, but it had an unyielding and unyielding aura.

"Ancestor, I'm here to help you!" Bai Siyuan appeared beside Bai Xuan, along with two other cultivators.

He glanced sideways at the giant beast and smiled at Bai Xuan, "I've always been protected by my ancestor. This time, it's my turn to protect him. Perhaps this is the only time."

Bai Siyuan smiled calmly, still with that same dashing yet irritating look.

Bai Xuan felt a pang of sorrow, but his heart gradually calmed down.

"Kid, you're still too green to protect me."

Before he could react, Bai Xuan suddenly pushed Xiang Wan in front of him, and he appeared in front of the giant beast's head.

Facing the intense heat, Bai Xuan's robes fluttered without wind, and his white hair spread out. "Having lived for so many years, I've already made enough. Cultivators are lonely and miserable; without opponents, there's no fun. Si Yuan, listen to it, send them in. Perhaps there's still hope for the future."

Bai Xuan smiled as he shot into the giant beast's gaping maw like a cannonball.

In an instant, a golden light flashed, and immense power exploded in the giant beast's mouth, splashing countless streams of scorching magma and slime that clung to the monsters behind it, instantly causing a large number of them to collapse.

"Run!"

The red ball bristled with fur, propelling Bai Siyuan forward and leaving the two cultivators behind in an instant. They did not retreat, continuing their attacks and knocking down the flying monsters that were attacking Bai Siyuan.

As they approached the giant beast's head, a plume of white smoke shot into the sky, nearly knocking Bai Siyuan and the others over. Red Ball's blood rushed to its head, and a black void instantly appeared before Bai Siyuan's eyes.

Bai Siyuan pulled Xiang Wan along, leaping in with the momentum. Looking back, he saw that the red ball and the two cultivators were all surrounded by monsters, and they disappeared from sight in a moment.

When they came to their senses, they found themselves standing on the edge of the altar.

The monsters around them spotted them and surrounded them, launching an attack.

Bai Siyuan gave Wan a deep look, reached out and plucked a strand of her white hair, then pushed her and the male corpse in his arms into the white light.

"If there is an afterlife, I hope I was never young and impetuous, and that you never met anyone else..."

Before he finished speaking, his entire figure had already disappeared into the monster horde.

Burning with white light, Xiang Wan regained consciousness, staring intently at the motionless person, and began to walk upwards.

At this moment, a staircase appeared on the altar, ascending step by step. Everything around turned white, with only one path leading upwards to the highest point.

Every part of my body, from the inside out, from top to bottom, was in pain, as if I were being burned by a raging fire, the pain making my very soul tremble.

With each step, the pain intensified.

Xiang Wan carried him and walked uphill step by step.

"I'm back, just as you wished!"

Having experienced so many worlds, allowing me to collect souls and repair my primordial spirit time and time again, is this the result you wanted?

step……

Why are you looking for me?

You were the one who said that becoming a god required abandoning all emotions and love. I haven't forgotten that, so I destroyed my cultivation and my primordial spirit, dissipating into the world so that you could never find a trace of me again. I wanted to free you from all distractions and worries, fulfilling your wish and also fulfilling my own infatuation...

Another step...

"When I loved you, you said that love was a burden to you."

But that was my only thought throughout countless years. Having been a god for so long, I never knew what it felt like to have someone you longed for, until I met you. In countless worlds, I glanced at you, and from that moment on, nothing was more important than you.

One more step...

"I have bestowed all divine power upon you; are you accustomed to using it?"

To help you become a god, I exhausted my entire life's cultivation and endured torment ten thousand times more painful than what I'm experiencing here. I thought this was my way of loving you, and that this would make you love me in return.

Another step...

"You're right. With more experience, you'll take things less seriously."

You never imagined you'd receive God's favor, nor did you ever think of it. I thought it was because you were special, but later I realized it was because you never truly cared. It's all just a dream; all those obsessions should be let go.

One more step...

You don't owe me anything.

If you brought me back because you feel indebted to me, then there's no need. Without my divine powers, I've achieved the life I wanted and experienced the life I desired—it's far more interesting than being a god.

Another step...

"It's all an illusion."

Whatever I've experienced in other worlds doesn't matter; I'd feel better if that person wasn't you.

One more step...

"You're right. In this world, there's more than just love; there are many other feelings and many people worth remembering."

Having met more people, one becomes less fixated on simple romantic love. There are also family, friends, and all the lovely people in the world, and many worthwhile things to do; one only truly understands these things through experience.

Another step...

"I've decided to let it go."

If there is no hope in clinging to something you're struggling to hold on to, why bother?

One more step...

"I'll repay you for everything you paid to find me. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other..."
