"DiDi, according to the non-aggression pact between the Divine Realm and the Demon Realm, your statement has crossed the line." Xuan Ming appeared out of thin air, placing his hands on Xia Xiang's shoulders. "Or are you two just playing mahjong?"

“They are not from the realm of the gods,” Diablo said, shrugging, still expressionless, his tone utterly innocent.

“Yes, they are,” Xuan Ming said.

Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu looked on with confusion: What kind of place is the Divine Realm?

Xuan Ming patted Xia Xiang's shoulder and pressed her firmly into a chair, introducing her as "This is my fiancée."

Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu exchanged glances before they could say anything.

Then, pointing to Jiuwu, she said, "This is her fiancé."

Jiuwu: I'm truly impressed!

Then she turned to look at Ding Xiaoyu, who was still motionless: "That's her ex-boyfriend."

"They're all on my side, what other questions are there?"

Diablo was somewhat speechless, but still insisted, "It was her own choice; I didn't force her."

Xia Xiang: This isn't enough to provoke me? I really want to beat him to death!

“The four of us have other things to do, so let’s put aside your mahjong game for now. I’ll bring someone to play cards with you another day.” After saying that, Xuan Ming left with Xia Xiang, Jiu Wu, and Ding Xiaoyu.

"Ha—" Diablo simply waved his sleeve and turned back to the palace.

The pile of bamboo tables and chairs was completely smashed to pieces, leaving nothing behind.

——The Land of Desolation——

"I won't thank you enough, but I still need to trouble you with something..." Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu helped the motionless Ding Xiaoyu.

“I can save him, but I can’t help him.” Xuan Ming straightened his sleeves and interrupted Xia Xiang. “If you’re on your own, you can’t save him right now.”

"Tell me how to save her." Xia Xiang glanced at Jiu Wu, who nodded in agreement.

Xuanming's expression was more serious than ever before. "Given your current condition, if all your original abilities are transferred into his body, you will never make any progress again, let alone be able to come back."

"And he is also very likely to lose his superpowers and be unable to cultivate anymore."

"I disagree!" Huai'an's stern voice rang out beside them.

Xuanming picked at his ear, clicked his tongue impatiently, and looked at Huai'an with disdain.

—Secret Transmission of Sound—

Xuan Ming: This is the twelfth time already. Is it possible that this is fate, and she can't come back? She has a lover, family, and friends now. Can't she live her life like this?!

Huai'an: No! Absolutely not!

"I'll do it," Huai'an said firmly, his eyes filled with a complexity that Xia Xiang couldn't understand.

"Are you crazy!" Xuan Ming roared, shoving Huai An. "Do you want to die?!"

Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu looked completely bewildered.

She really disliked Huai'an, who always did some inexplicable and infuriating things, so she really couldn't understand what they were doing.

Xia Xiang: [I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen.]

Jiuwu: [I don't understand what these two are acting out.]

Over here, Huai'an and Xuanming gave up on communicating telepathically and started arguing.

"They're about to collapse. If you die, the subsequent imbalance in the universe will be far more serious than just the destruction of spacetime!" Xuan Ming said angrily.

"She can't die with such a bad reputation, absolutely not!" Huai'an said calmly, ignoring Xuanming's anger.

"The universe is gone, everything is gone, who still knows what infamy is? What is right and wrong?" Xuan Ming calmed down and said indifferently.

"Can you say something that's appropriate for my dimension to hear? It's just about saving one person, how did it involve the entire universe?!" Xia Xiang couldn't understand, so she interrupted.

"Do you know why there are twelve timelines, and why each timeline has a clone?" Xuan Ming turned to look at the innocent Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu.

Both of them shook their heads.

"Because of you"

Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu exchanged a glance, then rolled their eyes at the same time, looking at Xuan Ming as if he were an idiot.

"To be precise, it's because of you; he was just an accomplice."
