Chapter 133: We Meet Again, From the Stars, and Finally from the Heart [End of Text] ^^…
All the scenes before my eyes suddenly scattered and spread outward like fireflies, but my consciousness seemed to descend from the mysterious sky and step onto the ground.
Gu Congxing slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was not the scene of the five divine beasts fighting each other and the earth collapsing, but the immortal tree sprouting branches.
It turned out that the battle between mythical beasts that he had heard about in the world of cultivation actually happened, and he had actually participated in it himself two thousand years ago...
This is the relationship between him and Lu Wu.
"Ganmu..." Lu Wu called out, but Gu Congxing turned around and interrupted him: "Can you please call me Congxing?"
Lu Wu blinked and said without hesitation, "From the stars."
Compared to a thousand years ago, Lu Wu still looks heroic and extraordinary, but his aura is even more intense, making people feel intimidated and want to surrender.
Gu Congxing regarded him silently, his heart awash with mixed emotions, a sour and swollen feeling. He didn't know how to react. He frowned and looked at the spiritual plants in the nursery. The scene of a thousand years ago repeatedly replayed in his mind. He asked, "What happened after that battle? Why did I go to the netherworld?"
Lu Wu stared at him without blinking, and replied slowly:
"In that melee, the other divine beasts and I didn't win, but the human world was affected. Half of the land sank, and the other half absorbed divine power. The gods in heaven were alarmed and sent 9981 immortal generals to capture us all."
The land split apart, divine power left traces... Could this be the origin of the world of cultivation mentioned in the creation myth?
"The Jade Emperor was furious and sent Erlang Zhenjun to investigate the cause of the battle. He learned that it was a conspiracy between Emperor Nanyang and Phoenix. The Emperor was stripped of his immortal status and demoted to a mortal state, while Phoenix was stripped of his thousand-year cultivation and exiled to an isolated island in the lower realms."
When Gu Congxing heard about the end of Phoenix, his eyes moved slightly.
"Chu, Tiangou, and Gu were already guilty, and now they have committed rebellion again, which is an even greater crime. The Jade Emperor has taken away their cultivation, disturbed their spirits, and banished them to the lower realms."
"I should have been banished to the lower realms, but Kaiming advised me that he had previously taken away a lot of my divine power, which led to my defeat by the Phoenix in the melee, which affected the human world. I requested to be banished to the mortal world and protect the human race for a thousand years to atone for my previous sins..."
"Your Majesty was merciful. Perhaps because of his open and sincere words, or perhaps because he saw that I was already dying, he did not condemn me to the calamity, but only imprisoned me in Kunlun. Thousands of years later, I finally became the leader of the divine beasts, eliminating all disputes, but no one is by my side anymore."
Gu Congxing's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but take another step forward and listened to Lu Wu continue:
"The four divine beasts carry the power of a brand. After a thousand years of atoning for their sins in the human world, they will finally shed their brand and return to heaven. That branding power remains in the world of cultivation, becoming the shells of the divine beasts... the four people you know."
"I see. No wonder you said... they are you, and you are them." Gu Congxing nodded and said, "But why would I go to the world of cultivation?"
When Lu Wu heard this question, his expression darkened and his long eyebrows slanted into his temples furrowed.
"After you sacrificed the sword... I risked my life to preserve your immortal essence, but I couldn't restore you to your original form. I sought help from many sources and finally received assistance from the Purple Star Lord."
"At that time, he was about to descend to the mortal world to undergo tribulation. Upon hearing about this, he proposed that you could go through the tribulation together, reforge your body in reincarnation, and complete your divine spirit. I agreed."
Gu Congxing's heart moved when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice: "As expected...it's my brother."
In his previous memories, he felt inexplicably familiar with Ziwei Star Lord when he first met him. This was the reason.
After so many years, our fate has been like the flowing water of the east river. I wonder if we will have the chance to meet again in the future?
"From the stars."
Lu Wu called out softly, wanting to move closer to tidy up his hair, but Gu Congxing subconsciously took a step back, and only uttered a sound of annoyance when he came to his senses.
"I'm sorry... even though I know all this, my mind is still in a mess." He held his forehead and whispered, "Can you please let me sort it out alone?"
Gu Congxing is Ganmu, and Ganmu is also Gu Congxing.
But for decades in the world of cultivation, he was just Gu Congxing.
Gan Mu is lively, clever, and innocent, but Gu Congxing is arrogant and unruly, having experienced life and death several times. Even after witnessing everything that happened a thousand years ago, he still finds it difficult to fully accept it.
But at this moment, he actually heard a low laugh.
Lu Wu's lips actually lifted slightly, and a relaxed smile appeared on his usually solemn face, as if ice and snow were melting and jade was colliding.
"I don't blame you for feeling this way. After the power of the brand returned, I felt the same way."
His brows relaxed, and Gu Congxing actually felt as if he saw Lan Jue's smile.
"Cong Xing, since that's the case...why don't we meet again?"
As soon as these words fell, Lu Wu's immortal energy surged around him, and golden light floated. He saw Gu Congxing's astonished expression and whispered, "I am them, and they are me."
“Swish——”
The flowing light surged rapidly, and for a moment the Imperial Garden nursery was filled with golden light, like the rising sun, and then it was split apart by an invisible giant and condensed into four human figures.
Gu Congxing's breathing stagnated and his heart beat like a drum.
The beam of light closest to him turned into silver light. In an instant, the power of ice surged, frost and snow flew everywhere, and the Imperial Garden entered a bitter winter.
The biting wind and frost dissipated, revealing the handsome eyebrows and eyes that were carved by a god.
“Master!!”
Gu Congxing shouted loudly and immediately flew forward!
He fell into a broad and familiar embrace.
"...From the stars."
Shen Mu lowered his eyes slightly, and his face was reflected in his ice-blue pupils.
"Don't cry."
He reached out and stroked Gu Congxing's cheek, wiping away the tears hanging on his eyelashes with his thumb.
"Master..." As expected, no matter when or where, as long as he saw his master, he would have a true home.
"Humph, he just achieved one step ahead of me, what's the point of saying he's a master and a disciple?"
A loud shout came from behind, and Gu Congxing's mind moved slightly. Before he could turn around, he was embraced by a long arm and fell into a warm embrace.
The long furry orange tail curled around Gu Congxing, and Si Junjian's body was surrounded by flames. The blazing spiritual flame actually caused the ice and snow between the nurseries to melt suddenly, as if it had entered midsummer.
"Si Junjian?!"
Gu Congxing originally thought that Lu Wu would appear one by one, but he didn't expect that they could appear at the same time.
This is not easy to do...
"When she saw him, she rushed towards me affectionately, but why are you so surprised when it comes to me!" Si Junjian bared his teeth, but his eyes were clearly filled with a look of grievance and hurt, "Are you going to dump me?!"
"Of course not!"
Gu Congxing said anxiously: "I just didn't expect that you two would appear at the same time..."
"Unfortunately, there are more than two people."
A clear voice suddenly sounded not far away. Gu Congxing turned around in surprise and saw that a human figure had condensed in the beam of light!
He stood tall and graceful in a green robe, a perfect match for the imperial garden, dotted with immortal plants. His eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes were like autumn water, and he smiled faintly, gazing intently at the face of only one person.
Just like the lush green grass and the spring rain in April, the heat in the Imperial Garden nursery suddenly dissipated, leaving only the warm spring atmosphere.
"From the stars... now, there are three of us."
"Big Brother!"
Gu Congxing called out subconsciously, and saw Lan Jue nodding with a smile. Although he looked gentle and elegant, he attacked without hesitation, and in an instant, he sent waves of water directly to attack Si Junjian!
"?! It was a sneak attack—"
Si Junjian raised his eyebrows, and immediately condensed a red fireball to fight with it, but it was naturally difficult to gain the upper hand between the waves, and all he could do was turn into thick white smoke.
He frowned and made a "tsk" sound, subconsciously summoning the Lotus Bone Bow. His right arm was about to release Gu Congxing, and he wanted to wrap him up with his tail, but at this moment a slender black shadow came like lightning and directly wrapped around Gu Congxing's waist!
"? Dragon Blood Vine?!" Gu Congxing looked down and couldn't help but exclaimed.
The vine suddenly appeared under the cover of smoke and moved so swiftly that Gu Congxing had just called it out before it fell into a tall embrace the next moment.
His back was gently caressed by two large hands, which went straight to his neck and inserted themselves into his hair.
"Brother, I miss you so much."
"Junior Brother?!" When did he appear again?!
As Zhong Ming appeared, the nursery, which was originally filled with the warmth and light of dawn, was suddenly filled with a bleak autumn wind, and the tops of the surrounding immortal plants began to turn yellow.
Zhong Ming buried his head in his neck, sniffing the long-lost fragrance of Yue Lin, and curled his eyes in satisfaction: "Brother, I will take you to the fairy island in the far east of the God Realm. There are only a few Azure Dragon cubs there. No one will disturb us, and we can stay together forever-"
"What a fool's dream!"
Lan Jue was intercepted by him, and his face was as gloomy as water. He immediately condensed a water blade in his hand and flew forward!
Not only that, as if angered by his previous declaration, Si Junjian frowned and shot out a ball of flames. Even Chen Mudu's eyes moved slightly, and he condensed an ice cone and stabbed it here!
"whispering sound."
Zhong Ming sneered coldly, and his black robe turned into an iron shield when he raised it. Dragon blood vines also flew forward to block the sharp icy blade!
But Lan Jue moved even faster. He condensed a water ring and hooked it around Gu Congxing's wrist. He took advantage of the moment when Zhong Ming was on guard and pulled Gu Congxing directly over!
The faint fragrance of plum blossoms hit his nose. Gu Congxing raised his head slightly and met those bright eyes with sparkling watery light.
Lan Jue smiled faintly, but the way he embraced him was completely different. The force was so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to embed him into one with himself.
"Cong Xing, don't worry, I'll take you away right now."
This is what is worrying!
Gu Congxing was extremely helpless. His eyes twitched and he looked around and saw three black shadows approaching. They were the three of them!
Lan Jue sneered and nodded fearlessly: "Now that he is in my arms, I will never be as foolish as you to let go."
He was clearly a besieged man, but his voice sounded like a triumphant general, full of elation:
"Unless I die, I will never be separated from Congxing again."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them suddenly became cold. Gu Congxing turned around with a sense of realization, only to see dark waves surging in Chen Mu's eyes, and his right hand with bulging veins had already grasped the hilt of the Zhuoguang sword.
Oh no, Master is really angry!
At this tense moment, a familiar shout pierced the silent air.
"Oh, ancestors! Stop fighting!"
Wen Yu poked his head out from behind the sacred tree, rushed to their side, and shouted:
"Lu Wu is the sole administrator of the Imperial Garden's seasons, and I won't let you play around like this! Who could stand the thought of spring, summer, autumn, and winter all happening in one day?"
His voice was full of emotion and his words were sincere, which made the four people who were fighting fiercely just now stand there in a daze for a moment, staring at him in astonishment.
Wen Yu grabbed the young spiritual grass beside him, lifted up its drooping yellow leaves, and felt heartbroken.
"Look! Our little Bilun's leaves are all wilted! It's still a child!"
Gu Congxing: "..."
Four people holding weapons: "..."
Seeing the four men's frozen expressions, Gu Congxing secretly called them good brothers and immediately spoke out, "Right! You are responsible for protecting the Imperial Garden Nursery. How can you ignore the lives of the people here?"
"But... we are one and the same, so it is normal for us to appear at the same time." Lan Jue frowned and said.
He stirred his spiritual energy slightly, injecting clean water into the withered spiritual plants, and thought, "If we were to take over, we should be able to save them from this waste of time."
That’s the sentence!
Gu Congxing was overjoyed and praised Lan Jue from head to toe in his heart. Just as he was about to speak in agreement, he heard Si Junjian speak coldly.
"You're pretending to be sensible. Let me guess... I'm afraid your next sentence will be something like 'Since Congxing is in your arms, the succession starts with you?'"
"Oh? Aren't you very clear about it?" Lan Jue nodded slightly, smiling innocently and warmly.
"Wishful thinking!" Zhong Ming growled, and the dragon blood vines around his body surged!
Seeing that they were about to start fighting again, Gu Congxing thought to himself that something was wrong.
He glanced at Wen Yu, wondering if he could say something shocking again, but suddenly a figure surrounded by purple light appeared in his field of vision.
Gu Congxing's eyes suddenly widened, and he saw the magnificent figure approaching with a smile on his face.
"The Imperial Garden is so lively, wonderful!"
"Ziwei Star Lord?!" Gu Congxing and Wen Yu exclaimed at the same time.
Chen Mu, Lan Jue, Si Junjian and Zhong Ming stopped what they were doing for a moment and looked at him in surprise.
"It's been a while, Ganmu, and... Immortal Lord Luwu?" Ziwei Xingjun glanced around, gently waving his folding fan. "They've transformed into human form again. It seems I'm not the only one who clings to the mortal world."
Gu Congxing stared at the handsome and cheerful face that resembled Gu Mingting, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The peach blossom eyes behind the folding fan turned as if realizing something and looked at him.
Then, she smiled crescently.
“!Brother——”
Gu Congxing subconsciously let out a soft cry, then immediately regained his composure and shut up: "Ziwei Xingjun."
"Young friend Ganmu, returning to heaven, is more disciplined than in the lower realm."
Ziwei Xingjun approached him and said in a leisurely voice, "However, there are no other immortal officials here, so we can be more flexible... Follow the star."
Gu Congxing felt dizzy after hearing his gentle call, and when he looked at him again, his eyes were already glistening with tears.
"Brother... the best thing in the world is that you are safe and sound."
"Haha. It's not enough for me to be safe. It also depends on whether these immortal trees can withstand it."
Ziwei Xingjun changed the subject, his eyes fixed on the four people. "I know you all are unwilling to back down, so I'd like to offer a suggestion... How about we follow Luwu Xianjun's duties and transform according to the cycle of the seasons?"
"That way, I won't be late for guarding the nursery, and I can still spend equal time with Congxing. Isn't that wonderful?"
Gu Congxing's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
The four of them looked at each other and reached a silent agreement.
The golden light surged again, and this time, only Chen Mu stood beside Gu Congxing.
"Very good, very good. Winter should have arrived in the Imperial Garden."
Ziwei Xingjun waved his folding fan gently. "I am about to report my tribulation to His Majesty. Chen Mu... no, Immortal Lord Lu Wu, would you like to come with me?"
Chen Mu looked at him for a moment and nodded silently.
But before leaving, he turned around and gently stroked Gu Congxing's head.
"From the stars, I will be back soon."
"I'll wait for you here, Master."
Watching the two figures, one in white and one in purple, riding the wind and clouds away, Gu Congxing let out a sigh of relief and embraced Wen Yu beside him.
"Wenyu! This is all thanks to you!"
Wen Yu smiled, puffed out his chest and raised his head, saying, "Of course! To prevent you from being persecuted by them all at once and damaging your immortal body, I will of course stop them!"
Gu Congxing was silent for a moment, cleared his throat, looked away and said, "Thank you very much."
It would be great if it were really like this.
but……
A year later, he stood at the Tianmen of Kunlun Ruins and looked at the three people in front of him.
"It's a rare day off, and my master and I are out. Why are you here too?"
Chen Mu beside him had a slightly darkened look in his eyes, Gu Congxing looked around, Lan Jue chuckled without saying a word, Si Junjian snorted coldly, and Zhong Ming had a sad look in his eyes.
Gu Congxing: "..."
Whatever, whatever.
Until you are in the fairyland of Penglai, with clouds rolling, dusk falling, and the starry sky vast.
They rode together in a small boat, floating on the clear river.
At this time, the moonlight was clear, the boundary between heaven and earth disappeared, and countless stars were reflected in the water, like another sky.
Lan Jue gently rowed the boat, shattering the moonlight that filled the lake. The ripples spread with a silvery glow, but eventually returned to calm.
Zhong Mingzhao filled his cup with spiritual wine and drank from it with Gu Congxing. Si Junjian also took out some mung bean pastry from the human world from the magic weapon, which had a sweet aroma.
Chen Mu looked at the delicacies placed in front of them, and the immortal light around him moved slightly. A frost condensed on the outside of the celadon cup. The spiritual wine and fruit brewed became more mellow and sweet after being chilled.
The world was quiet, and apart from them, there was no one else. The gentle sound of water filled his ears. Gu Congxing lowered his eyes slightly, sipped his wine contentedly, and leaned against the wall of the boat, his arm resting on his head as he fell asleep.
In his drowsy state, he found himself resting his head on a soft arm. He had no idea who it was.
A gentle singing came to my ears, a sleeping ballad for the human world...
His brows were relaxed, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he had fallen into a sweet dream.
No need to look outside, no need to hesitate.
The stars are shining brightly, and there will always be a way home.
Where my heart is, this is my hometown.

-----------------------
The author has something to say:
It’s finished! Congratulations! [Come on][Come on]
This book was finished much later than expected. I had originally wanted to finish it before school started... well, the National Day holiday and the start of school are also before school starts - (slapped and thrown away)
Ahem, anyway, I've really kept you waiting for so long. I'm so sorry, and thank you so much! I'll definitely stock up on the next book before posting it, and keep the update frequency steady! [Poor]
I signed the contract and started writing on impulse, but I didn't expect that I would successfully become a V-level writer after stumbling along the way. I also have more and more collections and comments, and the number of followers has exceeded two thousand.
Looking back on the past six months of writing, I'm a bit lost—I actually finished this 500,000-word novel? Was I that short-lived me?
I think it would be impossible to do it alone. It is every comment and every click that keeps me going.
From nothing to something, a glimpse of the way.
Writing is truly a mysterious thing. Perhaps it's a dream, a safe haven for me. No matter how murky and complex the outside world may be, as long as inspiration strikes and I start writing, I can enter a new world.
Whether it is bizarre or gorgeous and mysterious, my soul will find true freedom here.
The same is true for novels.
It is a safe house, a habitat, and an endless sky where the soul can fly freely.
As long as it can bring you a moment of joy when you enter the world of "Jiuxianmen", its meaning will be realized. You can come to the real world from my brain and connect with all things.
Very strange and addictive.
I know this book still has many shortcomings, and sometimes I even want to give up, but fortunately I persevered. The three-dimensional world is still very busy, like a never-ending marathon, but I will continue to persevere and write.
——There are still many, many stories to create!!
Finally, I am really grateful to the little angels for walking this journey with me. Let’s meet again in the future!
Happy Double Festival! May you and I, like the stars, live up to our dreams, find our spiritual home, and gain happiness and peace.
Shine brightly with the stars.
