Chapter 360 Extra: You and I, live and die together
Chang Qi himself didn’t know how many years he had lived.
The life of gods is long. They were born between heaven and earth when the heaven and earth were created, and have lived in the realm of gods ever since. They are gods, born cold-hearted and heartless, as hard as a rock, and no one can ever move their hearts. Even if they see suffering in the human world or other places during their tribulations, they will eventually adjust their mentality, and then take everything lightly, return to their own position, and do their own things.
Perhaps it was because life in the long river was a bit boring, and the six realms were gradually settled down, so the five great gods split into five groups. Chang Qi stayed in the God Realm, the four great gods guarded one side, and at that time there was also the God Emperor sitting in the God Realm, managing all affairs of the God Realm, while the other four great gods went to four different directions, and continued to use their abilities to save and protect the people.
Chang Qi stayed in the God Realm with the God Emperor. The God Emperor could not be said to be very smart or capable, but he was conscientious and did a good job. Whenever Chang Qi had time to relax, he would travel around.
After Feng Qing, the young master of the Phoenix clan, was born, Feng Qing heard by chance that there was an inseparable relationship between their clan members and the Supreme God Chang Qi. So he traced the roots and believed that Chang Qi was his cousin. From then on, Chang Qi had a cousin.
He actually didn't have much affection for this cousin, he just felt that he had nothing to do, and perhaps to kill time, he kept him around to chatter.
Before meeting Su Zhiruan, Chang Qi thought that there was nothing in the six realms that could arouse his interest, so he stayed in the divine realm all day long. Apart from writing and painting, he kept reading and writing books.
When Su Zhiruan was sent to Changqi Palace, he did not pay much attention to it, but he did not know that the turning point of his life would begin from then on.
At the moment he closed the book, he never thought that in the near future he would have a warm family that would accompany him throughout his life.
* A few days after the wedding.
Married life was not what Su Zhiruan had imagined.
She didn't expect that she is now really living a life of marriage first and love later.
Perhaps because of the seven years of separation, or perhaps because of the long wait, the relationship between them is very stable and harmonious.
After their wedding, they stayed in the God Realm. Sometimes, Su Zhiruan would miss her life in the human world, and Chang Qi would take her back to the human world for a while. The whole country of Shen State already knew that they were gods in heaven. Every time they went to live in Shen State, they did not dare to neglect them. Even in the eyes of the people of Shen State, they had become the ancestors of Shen State. Even the descendants of Shen State deeply understood the identities and status of these two people. They had truly achieved the goal of passing down their reputations for thousands of years.
The four children's life in the divine world became more and more comfortable.
They are the children of Su Zhiruan and Chang Qi, with their blood flowing in their bodies. Their divine powers and talents are extraordinary and unique.
After arriving in the divine realm, he had already burst out with astonishing talent after only a little guidance.
In the past, when they were in the human world, Su Zhiruan had not thought about teaching them how to practice.
Even if Lin'an hadn't asked her personally, she wouldn't have told them that they were not humans but monsters.
Su Zhiruan used to think very simply. Although she was also practicing, her cultivation was naturally not enough to face those old ancestors. She did not want her children to be involved in the practice. If those old guys were involved, what she could teach her children would be of no use. Instead of teaching them to start practicing and letting them come into contact with the cruelty of the six realms, it would be better to let them be ordinary people from the beginning and live a stable and happy life.
But she still underestimated the power of talent and bloodline. After returning to the God Realm, Chang Qi personally taught them to practice. After just a short period of time, their cultivation had even far exceeded the progress of the so-called geniuses who practiced for half a year.
Several children were already very interested in cultivation, and their extraordinary talents enabled them to make rapid progress in cultivation.
…
The four gods returned to the divine world when Chang Qi got married. They were very interested in Su Zhiruan. After all, there had never been a woman around Chang Qi, but now not only was there a woman, but she even gave birth to four children for Chang Qi. So the four gods happily took out various gifts to give to the children. No matter if it was some rare treasure, elixir, or magic weapon, as long as they could take it out, they all generously gave it to Yun Xia and the other three. Su Zhiruan also received so many gifts that she almost had an entire treasure trove in her hands.
When the four gods saw that Changqi had a child, they decided to stay in Changqi Palace for a while.
At first, they didn't know how Su Zhiruan could be with Chang Qi. After all, Chang Qi looked like a god who didn't understand romance and had never shown any emotional fluctuations. But now, the look in his eyes when he looked at Su Zhiruan was full of tenderness. Even during the time they stayed in Changqi Palace, they often saw Chang Qi like a possessed man, holding a fruit plate and sticking intimately to his wife, and then putting fruit to her mouth.
When the four gods saw this scene for the first time, they were almost scared to death. They even worried that Chang Qi had been possessed by another spirit. Otherwise, how could such a strange scene that they could not have imagined appear? However, such a scene was very normal in the eyes of the old housekeeper, other servants, and Su Zhiruan. Even the four children were not surprised to see this scene.
Ever since their wedding, Chang Qi was like a floodgate opened, thinking about sticking to Su Zhiruan all day long. Even if he couldn't see Su Zhiruan for a quarter of an hour, he would ask people everywhere and look for her everywhere.
The four gods couldn't stand it after staying for a while. They all complained that Chang Qi was too good at giving out sweets. They ate all their dog food in Chang Qi Palace. In the end, even they were immune to it. Chang Qi, a thousand-year-old monk, had his first taste of meat, but he ended up being as sticky as he is now.
Lord Shuyue knew that Changqi had a servant boy by his side, after all, she had been to Changqi Palace.
At that time, she didn't pay much attention to her, so she didn't know that the servant was Su Zhiruan, but now the more she looked at her, the more familiar she felt, and she knew that the servant that day was Su Zhiruan disguised as a man.
At first, the attitude of the four gods towards Su Zhiruan was quite calm. After all, she was just a small rabbit demon. No one knew what abilities she used to be able to attach herself to the gods.
But after just a few days of getting along, they could increasingly feel how ridiculous their initial thoughts were.
They even felt ashamed of themselves for maliciously speculating about Su Zhiruan's thoughts before.
Su Zhiruan is a very good person. She has never tried to please others deliberately, nor has she become very flattering to cater to other people's preferences, but her personality will unknowingly attract many people to approach her.
She has a wealth of knowledge and high emotional intelligence. Talking to her always makes you feel like you are in the spring breeze. It doesn't make you feel awkward, nor does it make you feel like you have nothing to talk about. No matter what topic is raised, Su Zhiruan can respond fluently but with a good sense of proportion, and can express her own opinions. After a few days, everyone liked her very much.
In the past few days, the four gods have been particularly concerned about the four children of Su Zhiruan and Changqi. They have infinite lifespans and are immortal. They have never thought about having children. After all, they are the original gods. If they have children, their lifespans are limited. They will have to watch them grow up and grow old step by step. In addition, having children will definitely distract them from handling official duties. Although they have never raised children, they feel that they are just a burden.
They had always thought like this in the past, but it was not until they lived in Changqi Palace this time that they realized that there seemed to be some deviations and errors in their previous ideas.
When Su Zhiruan saw them again, he discovered that his four children had been treated as disciples by the four gods.
As it happened, she had four children. In addition to Chang Qi, the father of the children, there were also four other gods in the God Realm. The four gods had never had any children before, and when they saw the four soft, cute and talkative children, they all expressed their love for them, so they tried every means to impart some divine power and magic to them.
The four children studied very hard.
Since the four gods came to Changqi Palace for Su Zhiruan and Changqi's wedding, they have paid more and more attention to the four children. They even thought about taking one apprentice each, and then teaching them carefully, treating them as their own children. Of course, Changqi was unwilling to do this. This was his child, why should he be taken in as an apprentice by others? But Su Zhiruan didn't think so. He felt that the four gods guarded the four directions. If they could take Yunxia Linan and others as apprentices, then the children would learn more and more in the future.
Su Zhiruan looked at them and suddenly felt that he had made the right decision to come to the God Realm.
And so the days passed.
The children grew up very fast. After just a few years, they grew as fast as willow branches and were even taller than Su Zhiruan.
Sometimes, the six of them went to play in the human world. After the dynasty changed, the people even thought they were a group of people of the same age, instead of thinking they were the children of Su Zhiruan and Changqi.
The four children were very filial and respectful to their parents since they were young. Chang Qi and Su Zhiruan also attached great importance to their education, and when they grew up, Chang Qi sent them out to gain experience.
The children gradually grew up under the collective love of the gods, and their abilities became more and more outstanding. Since they were young, the four children helped Su Zhiruan deal with the government and various affairs of the Shen Kingdom. Now when Chang Qi discovered that they had this skill, he also began to train them. Because the gods have been missing a god emperor for many years, Chang Qi has been maintaining the balance and stability of the six realms for many years. Now with the help of the children, he is also much more relaxed.
When he was alone, he had no idea of how long his life would last, and he never felt that time was passing so quickly. But now he watched his children grow up day by day, learning more and more knowledge, and smiling more and more. And his beloved was by his side, and he felt that there was no greater happiness in the world than this.
In their free time, Su Zhiruan and Chang Qi started dating. Although they had been married for a long time, the feeling of walking hand in hand on the streets like young people was still a new experience. Perhaps for them, no matter what, as long as the other person was by their side, it would be sweet.
After the children returned from their studies, they took over the affairs of the God Realm. They had shown amazing talents since they were young, and now they were able to handle the affairs of the God Realm like ducks in water. Soon, the four children were in charge of different government affairs, and they managed the God Realm and the other six realms in an orderly manner, formulated corresponding laws and regulations, and maintained the previous order.
A hundred years later, Chang Qi was able to completely let go of matters related to the God Realm and let his children do it with confidence. They were connected by blood and were all descendants of God, so he never had to worry about any bad intentions. They were Chang Qi's children, and it was up to them to maintain the affairs of the six realms together, so the others were also very relieved.

Feng Qing would suddenly appear from time to time and try to incite Su Zhiruan to rebel, but Chang Qi would always watch from the side with a coveted look. In addition, Su Zhiruan had no such idea, so Feng Qing gave up the idea and decided to accompany the children as they grew up and treat them as his own children.
…
Hundreds or even thousands of years later.
Su Zhiruan's life also came to an end.
She is different from Chang Qi, she is a rabbit demon. Even if Chang Qi tried every means and even wanted to share his divine power with her, it was of no avail. After all, Su Zhiruan is not from this world, and the original owner's body is a rabbit demon. She was sent by the system to perform a task, so even if she cultivated to become very strong, her lifespan would only be a few thousand years.
When the time was almost up, she could feel the life slipping away from her body bit by bit. Her increasingly weak mental state forced her to lie in bed all day, with gray hair, eyes closed, and a pale face.
The four children had truly grown up by now. They held Su Zhiruan's hands tightly and gathered around her bed, their eyes filled with tears, unwilling to let her leave.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. Mom is still here fine. You all can go and get busy!" Su Zhiruan coughed weakly twice. She waved her hands, hoping that the children would not gather around her bedside, but go and do their own things.
Chang Qi had been with him for a thousand years, but at this moment he didn't dare to look at Su Zhiruan's face again. He originally had silver hair, and now Su Zhiruan's hair had also turned white. The two of them together looked like they would grow old together. Even though Chang Qi was still in good health, he was afraid. He felt empty and pale from the bottom of his heart. He just lay on a recliner on the side, his hands trembling, and he didn't dare to go over.
"You guys go out first. Yunxia will take the brothers to the door to get the wine that mother buried a few years ago!" Su Zhiruan sent the children away.
At this point, the children's eyes have all turned red. Even though they are now very capable and powerful, when facing their mother, even if they search for all kinds of treasures in heaven and earth and all kinds of medicinal herbs, they cannot stop her from aging and cannot stop her life from passing away.
After they left, only Su Zhiruan and Chang Qi were left at the scene. Su Zhiruan tilted his head and said softly, "Won't you come and take a last look at me?"
Chang Qi's fingertips trembled. He glanced to the side, not wanting Su Zhiruan to see his face clearly at this moment. He just whispered, "You will be fine. We haven't gone to the Abyss Valley to pick seven-star grass flowers together. This is what you promised me before..."
At this moment, all the complicated emotions such as grievance, panic, fear, etc. surged into his heart. He spoke incoherently and didn't even know what he was saying. He just wanted to keep Su Zhiruan, even for one more second.
"Sorry, I broke my promise this time." Su Zhiruan knew that she was about to leave this world. She opened her hands, and the next second Chang Qi held them tightly.
Su Zhiruan sighed deeply, and finally just chuckled, "See you next time."
Under Chang Qi's stunned gaze, she slowly closed her eyes.
The children were standing at the gate of the courtyard. They had sensed something. The wine jars in their hands slipped out of their hands in an instant and shattered all over the ground. The aroma of wine filled the air and instantly enveloped the entire yard, but they had no time to care about it at this time.
Su Zhiruan left this world completely.
Perhaps because Chang Qi couldn't accept the result, he had a last-ditch effort of three days and taught the children a lot.
Afterwards, he wrote a suicide note in his own handwriting and sealed it.
Finally, he died in the Abyss Valley wearing the white clothes he wore on the day he reunited with Su Zhiruan. His body and soul could not enter the cycle of reincarnation, and he turned into ashes on the spot.
Before he died, he held a seven-star grass flower in his hand.
Yun Xia and the others were deeply saddened when they found out and cried for days. Finally, after reading Chang Qi's suicide note, they had a sudden enlightenment and their cultivation reached a new level.
Their father and mother are the best parents in the world.
Always and forever.
* After Su Zhiruan died in this world, she found herself back in the system space.
After staying here for thousands of years, I suddenly returned to this place and it always felt strange and familiar.
