"Is it really you?"
A trembling hand touched Zi Qinghan's cheek.
So many years have passed, she herself can't remember how long it's been since she's had such a real connection with "her".
"It's me."
He reached out and covered Xia Lian's hand with his, so that she could feel his warmth more clearly.
"Zi Qinghan" continued, "Azi, I have waited for you for so long."
I'm here, waiting for you to come back to me every single moment.
Upon hearing this, tears immediately welled up in Xia Lian's eyes.
Hearing these words from the person in front of her caused her unbearable pain.
"I'm back, I'm back!"
I'll take you home, I'll take you home!
"I have always been protecting your Purple Cloud Northern Border."
Xia Lian said with tears streaming down her face.
Upon hearing this, Zi Qinghan's expression suddenly turned somber.
This made Xia Lian feel uneasy: "What's wrong? Don't you want to come back with me?"
Zi Qinghan shook her head and explained sadly, "Of course I think about it, I think about it all the time."
only......"
"But what?" Xia Lian hurriedly asked.
"But I can't leave this body."
With a sorrowful expression, Zi Qinghan continued, "I died long ago. What remains now is only the remnant consciousness of my life before my demise."
Over the years, I have become inseparable from them, and I fear I can never go back with you.
Upon hearing this, Xia Lian's expression darkened; she understood who they were referring to.
It refers to those fallen emperors and that portion of the world's consciousness.
"I don't care, there must be a way! There must be a way to save you!"
Xia Lian refused to accept her fate. How could she accept such an ending after reuniting with her old friend?
Zi Qinghan saw that Xia Lian really took the bait so easily.
She immediately changed her expression from sadness, then leaned close to Xia Lian's ear and whispered a few words to her.
After listening to Zi Qinghan's words, Xia Lian's face showed a hint of hesitation.
"Is this really the only way? Wan'er is, after all, my disciple..."
"I could sense that her situation was special, and I had a premonition that if I ate her, some unpredictable change would occur to me."
Ah Zi, help me.
Don't you want to take me home anymore? Don't you want to go back to the days we used to live together?
It was almost like the truth being revealed at the last moment; the deity spoke bluntly, exposing his purpose, and even a dog would shake its head upon hearing it.
But Xia Lian seemed to have completely lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
She hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.
Upon seeing this, Shen Di Nian's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
He had only thought of trying it out on a whim, but he did not expect it to work so well.
The remaining resentment of those emperors is already one with Him, so He naturally has some of their memories as well.
This includes Zi Qinghan, of course.
Unable to contend with Xia Lian, He habitually went through the memories of those Great Emperors.
Perhaps He, as the consciousness of the world, doesn't actually have so many twists and turns.
But that doesn’t prevent Him from learning.
He knows everything about the memories, wisdom, and experiences of those powerful individuals.
Even now, He doesn't quite understand why his transformation into Zi Qinghan and his words to Xia Lian had such a good effect.
But who cares?
As long as the ultimate goal is achieved, that's all that matters.
Turning his gaze to Su Yang in the distance, the divine spirit's eyes flashed with possessiveness.
This made Su Yang's buttocks tighten.
He wanted to run away, but how could he possibly do it in front of two supreme experts?
Xia Lian and Shen Di Nian appeared in front of him instantly.
Su Yang then found himself unable to move, and no matter how he called out to the Star Palace, there was no response.
It was as if everything had been completely cut off from him.
What do you want?
With fear in his eyes, Su Yang looked pitifully at his master.
But Xia Lian didn't look at her; instead, she turned her head in another direction.
Although she ultimately chose Zi Qinghan over Su Yang, she couldn't bear to watch Su Yang be devoured.
Especially if she met Su Yang's eyes, she was afraid she would change her mind.
Therefore, she cannot confront her no matter what.
"Wan'er, I'm sorry, Master is so sorry."
As she apologized, Xia Lian slowly retreated behind Shen Di Nian.
Next, the other party was going to devour Su Yang alive, and just imagining that scene made her feel suffocated; she simply couldn't bear to watch it.
"Master..."
As if in despair and disbelief, Su Yang softly called out to Xia Lian.
But what awaited them was that Xia Lian's figure was completely invisible, because the divine spirit had completely blocked her.
At the last moment, she didn't even intend to look at him one last time.
As for the deity Nian, He had no interest in the drama between the two masters and disciples, nor was He interested in watching it, because He truly did not understand these matters of life and death.
They also cannot understand the feeling of being betrayed.
At this moment, all His thoughts were focused on Su Yang.
Looking at Su Yang's fair neck, He couldn't help but lick his tongue.
This is a gesture that a powerful celestial being, who had transformed from an old pig into a spirit, habitually made before eating within His body.
He felt that it was somewhat inexplicably fitting to place it here, so He learned it that way.
