"We don't have a choice, do we?"

Cao Yuan saw the struggle in An Qingyu's eyes.

Three asteroids were approaching from deep space, dyeing the entire sky red. Strong winds blew away the dust floating around. Cao Yuan's eyes were extremely calm.

An Qingyu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

"Just like we did in the fishing village... Let's do it, Deputy Captain An." Cao Yuan slowly walked in front of An Qingyu, stretched out his hand to grab his palm, and placed it on the handle of his straight knife. His expression was extremely solemn, "This is my own choice."

The howling wind blew up the two people's crimson cloaks. An Qingyu stared at Cao Yuan's eyes in a daze. Even though he was as smart as he was, his brain was blank at this moment.

As Cao Yuan held An Qingyu's hand, the straight knife in his arms slowly came out of its sheath...

…

Creak.

Under the red sky, a tightly closed door gently opened from the empty corridor.

A figure in a crimson cloak stepped out of the room. He looked up at the three asteroids that were about to fall, the edge of his cloak swaying slightly, his eyes as calm as water.

But when he turned his head and saw the bowl of cold porridge and the familiar sandalwood amulet beside the door, a ripple appeared in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, then bent down and picked up the sandalwood amulet.

This sandalwood amulet is only the size of a palm, but it is very heavy. On the front of the amulet, small characters are engraved as densely as ants, such as "eternal peace", "eternal happiness", "eternal youth", "destroy evil and keep away"...

He turned the talisman over, and four neatly written large characters were the first thing that caught his eye.

——Molly, my wife.

The two words above were carved one stroke at a time with a carving knife, which is very funny.

Below these four big characters, there are two more lines of words:

--"sorry."

——"Wait until I come back."

He looked at the amulet in his hand, standing there for a long time like a sculpture, and then a hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand, touched the bottom two lines of words, and put them into his sleeve.

Then, he bent down, picked up the cold porridge on the ground, raised his head, and poured it into his mouth!

The sound of big gulps of swallowing echoed in the dead silent corridor. In just a moment, the porridge in the bowl was finished. He wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth and the tears on his cheeks, and threw the bowl to the ground!

Bang! !

The crisp sound echoed in the corridor, and the broken pieces of the bowl were scattered all over the ground, like a shattered heart.

He looked at the debris on the ground for a long time, shook his head, turned around and took a step forward.

The Qi of Hunyuan flashed by, and the figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

…

In the strong wind, a straight knife flashing with a cold light slowly came out of its sheath on the outer wall of Chennan Pass.

The blade reflected An Qingyu's complex eyes, and passed by Molly and the other two who were standing by with confusion. The sharp tip of the blade was grasped by Cao Yuan's powerful palm and pressed against his chest.

Strands of bright red blood flowed down Cao Yuan's palm and dripped onto the ground.

"Kill me." Cao Yuan said.

An Qingyu held the straight knife and said nothing.

Cao Yuan let out a long sigh, and just as he was about to run into the blade, a shadow instantly appeared between the two of them!

The figure thrust out a finger and hit the blade of the straight knife, which made a sharp buzzing sound. The huge force caused the straight knife to break free from An Qingyu and Cao Yuan's hands and sink deeply into the wall beside them.

Cao Yuan and An Qingyu were both stunned and turned to look.

"Fatty?!" Cao Yuan asked in confusion, "Where did you go just now?"

Baili Pangpang did not answer. He just watched the three asteroids gradually breaking through the atmosphere and falling towards the earth, and said slowly:

"There is no need to release the Black King. Daxia... has not reached that stage yet."

After he finished speaking, he turned around under the two people's puzzled gazes and walked to Molly's side.

Seeing that familiar yet unfamiliar face so close to her, Molly pursed her lips slightly. She opened her mouth to say something when Baili Pangpang took something out of his sleeve and put it in her palm.

"You're right...our story should have an ending." Baili Pangpang looked into her eyes and said softly.

Molly was slightly stunned. For some reason, she felt that Baili Pangpang in front of her was a little strange.

"Chubby, are you okay?"

An Qingyu seemed to have noticed something strange about Baili Pangpang. After hesitating for a moment, his eyes were tinged with gray. He wanted to confirm whether there was anything wrong with Baili Pangpang's body.

But as soon as his eyes fell on Baili Pangpang, he felt as if he was pricked by a needle. He suddenly closed his eyes, and two lines of blood and tears slid down from the corners of his eyes...

An Qingyu covered his eyes, his expression showing unprecedented astonishment!

"You...!" he said in disbelief.

Although it was only a moment, he saw Baili Pangpang's condition... and also saw the magnificent and huge Hunyuan Taoist figure behind that figure!

"Sorry." Baili Pangpang smiled apologetically, "Qingyu, please say goodbye to Qiye for me... Pangpang may not be able to come back in the future."

"What are you talking about?" Cao Yuan asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"

“…Go where I should go.”

Baili Pangpang turned around, faced the red sky, and took a step forward!

clang--!!!

The moment he took this step, a majestic and distant bell sound suddenly came from the void behind Baili Pangpang, as if a shackle that had been sealed for countless years was broken, and a figure that existed on the other side of the past and the future overlapped with him...

The sound of the bell swept across the entire Chennan Pass, across the battlefield of gods, across every city in Daxia, rushed into the fog, and echoed above the earth and the sky!

That figure overlapped with Baili Pangpang's figure, and countless lines flowed from the void, like a giant cocoon wrapping it up, and his aura rose steadily!

"This is……?!"

The gods of Daxia who were chatting with the gods of Olympus were shocked at the same time, as if they were guided by something, and suddenly turned back to look in the direction of Chennan Pass!

"Is it Lingbao Tianzun?!" Nezha's expression was delighted, "Lingbao Tianzun has returned from the reincarnation?!"

On the battlefield in the distance, Jiang Ziya dodged the attack of an Olympian god, turned his head and looked towards Chennan Pass, with the same surprise in his eyes!

He clasped his hands and bowed in that direction!

"Welcome back Lingbao Tianzun!"

"Welcome back Lingbao Tianzun!!"

"Welcome back Lingbao Tianzun!!!"

One voice after another came from the Great Xia God. As a ray of Hunyuan Daoyi broke out of the giant cocoon of Dao pattern, the pressure of the Supreme God suddenly descended upon the world. At the same time, the voices all over the sky gathered together, resounding through the sky like a huge bell!

“——Welcome back Lingbao Tianzun!!!”
