...
Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Since the end of the Heavenly Ranking War, the Nine Realms have ushered in true peace.
During this time, the Nine Netherworlds were destroyed, and the Asura Emperor, just like in his previous life, was shredded into mincemeat by Shen Zhao.
With the destruction of the Nine Netherworlds, sunlight once again shone on this land that had been shrouded in darkness for tens of thousands of years.
Shen Zhao finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish in his tenth life.
Minghui returned to Wanfoyan and became the new abbot, leading the Buddhist disciples to save the world and work closely with the Western Buddhist Kingdom ruled by Fahai.
Linghu Ming and Li Minshuang finally got married, and the couple became the new leaders of the various sects in the Taoist domain. During this period, they also gave birth to their own children.
On the side of the public tribunal, Si Yu stepped down as president and married Xu Ning, traveling to different places and regions.
The new president is Liang Hao, who has reached the second rank of emperor. I believe that under his leadership, the Public Arbitration Association will usher in a new era.
As for the Great Yin Dynasty, after Yu Xizhao ascended the throne, he actively sent envoys to visit various countries in the Eastern Regions, established good relations with them, and allowed the Great Yin Dynasty to gradually recover its vitality.
In fact, Yu Xizhao is still quite different from Yu Xiyan in terms of governance, but he is gradually growing under the guidance of Yu Guopu and is working hard to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Gu Ningye ultimately couldn't let go of Yu Xiyan, and soon after Yu Xiyan left, he inquired about her whereabouts.
After Yu Qingzhu returned to the demon realm, there was no further news of her. Some say that she reopened the Purple Flame Demon Capital, while others say that Yu Qingzhu's ideals were opposed by everyone in the demon realm, and she eventually died in despair.
Another theory is that Leng Qingcheng's consciousness retaliated, ultimately leading to her mental breakdown, and she was suppressed and sealed under Qingqiu Mountain by the demon race.
Bai Xinian's ten-year term of guarding the tombs of the people of her former country is coming to an end, and she will soon return to find Shen Zhao to fulfill her promise.
After Yu Xiyan left, Qiao Zhaorong regained consciousness and returned to Yuanhuang Island to take the position of young master. However, before leaving, she kept thinking about every little thing she had with Yu Xiyan.
Everything is moving in a favorable direction. The efforts made in the previous nine lives have finally brought happiness in this life.
There is another thing, Tang Ran is dead.
He died of a sudden stroke, reportedly exploited to death by his wife. It is said that before his death, he was emaciated, with no flesh left on his body, making his death a truly tragic one.
In addition, the now-mad Ling Yuxuan was found by his former maid Wen Ruyu, and the two went into seclusion in the mountains together. However, Ling Yuxuan always mistook Wen Ruyu, who was by his side, for Yu Xiyan, but Wen Ruyu took care of his daily life without complaint.
Zhuge Bai eventually returned to the Heavenly Realm and made a promise with Shen Zhao to meet again at the Moon Palace a hundred years later.
After experiencing unspeakable events, Shen Zhao, apart from targeting Jiu You, never participated in any more Jianghu feuds.
He lives a shameless life every day with a group of beautiful wives and concubines.
During this period, apart from Su Yunying, Song Yanran, Mu Qiuyao, Jiang Qingluan, Luo Pianhong, and Ji Bingyan gave birth to three sons and two daughters for him, and Song and Mu are now pregnant again.
Originally, even if Luo Pianhong had reached base, there was no hope at all. But that night of passion miraculously resulted in her becoming pregnant with Shen Zhao's child, leaving Song Yanran with no choice but to accept it.
Moreover, because of Luo Pianhong's pregnancy, Song Yanran became anxious and spent a lot of effort to finally get pregnant with Shen Zhao's child.
The family now enjoys family happiness.
However, having too many wives is not good as it will damage your kidneys.
With Bai Xinian's imminent arrival, Shen Zhao suddenly felt that his future was bleak.
So, in order to give his body a long vacation, he took advantage of his wives' inattention, left a letter, ran out of the Seven-Colored Holy Monarch Rock, and began to appreciate the scenery of the Nine Realms.
On this day, Shen Zhao summoned the Golden-Winged Kunpeng and roamed the ends of the sky.
As he passed through a village on the southern coast, a beautiful crabapple tree caught his eye.
A familiar feeling prompted him to enter the village as if possessed by a ghost.
Countless children walked toward a thatched hut, their laughter echoing.
A familiar feeling welled up in Shen Zhao's heart, and he followed the child into the courtyard as if possessed.
The moment the door was opened, a familiar figure, wearing a floral shirt, stood under the crabapple tree, reciting aloud to the children sitting there.
"Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?"
Upon seeing that figure, Shen Zhao felt completely calm, no longer feeling any resentment or disgust.
In an instant, the woman seemed to realize something, and as she looked up, their eyes met.
"ha……"
Shen Zhao smiled, a genuine smile for the first time.
The woman before me has truly changed.
Kill the past and create the present.
Yu Xiyan smiled faintly, and there was no longer that strong worldly desire in her eyes, but only the indifference of looking at everything.
Because here, she found the true meaning of life.
She slowly walked two steps away from Shen Zhao, looking at the man in front of her without any attempt to hide her gaze.
"Shen Zhao, it's been a long time."
"Um."
Calm gaze, calm tone, time seemed to stop again at this moment.
This time, there were no more calculations in their encounter, only a gentlemanly friendship as calm as still water.
All the grudges and hatreds have become the past.
Crabapple blossoms drift in the wind, but the children's clear voices still ring out as they recite their lessons...
However, has everything really gotten better?
In a place that Shen Zhao ignored, a new crisis was quietly brewing.
...
In the chaotic space, the evil stain, enveloped by the Southern Bright Fire, floated aimlessly in the void.
Suddenly, a pair of blood-red pupils slowly opened and absorbed the Nanming Fire.
"Host, you won this round, but do you think everything is over?"
"Chaos will reopen, and the Dao will reappear. When I break through the void, a brand new Dao will surely come to the heavens and all realms."
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in the void.
"Hmm? Another time traveler. Very good. This time, I'm sure I'll succeed."
As soon as the voice in the void fell, thousands of figures suddenly rose from the three thousand worlds of the heavens and chased after the spiritual light of the traverser.
"The next target is the Ancient Continent. A new journey is about to begin.
And you, time traveler, are the new prey I've been waiting for.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
To find out what happens next, please look forward to Erha's new work: "Empress: My Husband is Very Fierce".
(The End)
