More than a year has passed since the apocalyptic disaster. Not to mention the Earth, which is guarded at the back, even the ancient god realm has regained its vitality.
What is gone is gone, the scars cannot be healed, but life will never stagnate.
In the last battle more than a year ago, Sheng Shijing and Xie Xihe thought of the duel with Sheng Zhichen at the last moment, and merged the power of Tiansha and Tianyun in their bodies together to create a more powerful and ancient power - the power of chaos.
Finally, the endless dark particles were eliminated.
But both Sheng Shijing and Xie Xihe knew very well that everything was temporary.
No one knows how those dark particles appeared, but they know that given enough time, they will come back and challenge the world in an extremely aggressive manner.
But that was in the past. From now on, as long as Xihuang and Tiansha are still alive, they will never be given the opportunity to break into the earth.
Although Xie Xihe and Sheng Shijing won the final battle, they also paid a heavy price.
Not only did the Ancient God Realm suffer heavy casualties, but Sheng Ming also saved Sheng Shijing at the cost of his own life.
Although Sheng Shijing's physical injuries were healed, the injuries to his soul were still serious.
In the end, Xie Xihe took out the soul-calming bead that Sheng Shijing had placed in his body, which temporarily stabilized his soul.
After that, he entered the Hunyuan Land to practice in seclusion. Over the past year, he has stayed there except for occasions when he had to appear.
Fortunately, Emperor Hao is dead, and elemental gods such as Luo Er and Minie who assisted the evil have also received the punishment they deserve. Now the only thing the ancient god world needs is time, and everything is developing in a good direction.
Xie Xihe...Xie Xihe is still very busy.
While she tried her best to revive Sheng Ming as soon as possible, she also took over the last two dark crystals from Fu Yunting and started a new round of research.
Now that all her memories have been revived, she naturally remembered the origin of these five crystals.
Just as Fu Yunting guessed, when she was still Emperor Xi, she had already calculated the subsequent world-destroying disaster and also found that slim glimmer of hope.
So she opened a secret passage between the earth and the future, and with the help of Hypnos, she let her reincarnated soul enter the future world, and finally brought out two star cores and five dark crystals.
Normally, the dark crystal will be developed in more than three thousand years. By then, dark particles will no longer be a crisis threatening human survival, but an opportunity for humans to become stronger and even explore the more distant universe.
But Xie Xihe was obviously unwilling to wait until that time.
So a project led by Xie Xihe, mainly focusing on guarding the palace and future bases, and supplemented by major R&D institutions and universities, once again made its debut.
When the news got out, even some big forces applied to join and were willing to provide manpower, financial and material resources for the project.
After all, everyone saw the scene more than a year ago with their own eyes. Although there were not many dark particles that crossed the ancient god realm and entered the earth, those few hundred or so had already caused considerable damage to the earth.
This is even with the three giants of Earth standing in the way: the Guardian Palace, the Future Base, and the Ancient Martial Arts World. If it weren't for them blocking the way... people simply couldn't imagine what the world would be like that day!!!
Therefore, when people heard that the Black Crystal Project was aimed at the birth of dark particles, they immediately joined in enthusiastically, and the major forces were unusually active.
With everyone working together, the project progressed very quickly, so quickly that even Xie Xihe was surprised.
March 21, 2024.
The research and development of black crystal entered a critical stage. Xie Xihe was locked in the laboratory for more than two months before he was allowed to go out for some fresh air.
She stretched her aching body and walked out while thinking about the problem. When she looked up, she found that the experimental base was unusually quiet today.
The corridor, which was usually bustling with people, was now empty. Even the sounds seemed to have disappeared. It was so quiet that only her own breathing could be heard.
Xie Xihe paused and frowned slightly.
Just when she was about to find someone to ask, she heard a chuckle coming from the front. She subconsciously glanced sideways, but was stunned.
It is the time when winter and spring meet, and the plum blossoms in Kyoto are in full bloom.
At this time, a man was leaning against a plum tree not far from the experimental base.
He was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers, with one hand casually tucked into his pocket. Although it was a very simple outfit and action, on him, it gave people a breathtaking sense of beauty.
Especially against the backdrop of the red plum tree, he looked like a god who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world, pure and otherworldly, unparalleled in the world.
The man looked at her with a smile, his dark eyes as deep as the sea, as if he wanted to absorb her soul.
Xie Xihe was stunned.
While she was stunned, the man had already walked towards her. His jade-like fingers gently rested on her forehead, and a smile escaped from his throat: "Are you stunned?"
Xie Xihe's cheeks flushed red, and he couldn't help but glared at him angrily: "You did it on purpose."
Sheng Shijing chuckled softly, "My husband has been gone for a year. I'm worried that some slutty bitch out there will seduce my wife, so I have to use my sex appeal to please her and consolidate my position as the wife."
Xie Xihe: “…”
We haven't seen each other for only half a year, why are you still so smooth-talking?
Xie Xihe glanced at him sideways, then looked him over carefully: "Are you fully healed?"
Sheng Shijing nodded: "Almost."
Xie Xihe frowned: "Why don't you wait until you're fully recovered before coming out?"
Sheng Shijing: "My life has woken up."
Xie Xihe's eyes suddenly lit up: "Awake? Where's he? Why didn't he come with you?"
Sheng Shijing gave her a resentful look and said, "I thought you were still concerned about my injury just now?"
Xie Xihe: "...things have their priorities."
Sheng Shijing: "So I am the light one?"
Xie Xihe: “…”
She suspected he was being unreasonable, but she had no evidence.
Sheng Shijing looked at his wife's face, which had darkened twice, and finally remembered that enough was enough. He raised his hand and held her hand: "Let's go."
Xie Xihe: "Where are you going?"
Sheng Shijing turned his head to look at him, his dark eyes seemed to be filled with starlight as he looked at her deeply: "Rectify your name."
Xie Xihe: “???”
Sheng Shijing looked at her confused eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly, with a strong force, he lifted the girl up and carried her sideways. As he walked out faster, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xie Xiaogu, have you forgotten something?"
Xie Xihe thought about it seriously, recalling what he had just said, and then looking at the clenched jaw in front of him, he finally reacted belatedly and said uncertainly: "You mean... getting married?"
Sheng Shijing lowered his head and smiled gently: "Congratulations, you got the answer right. As a reward, you will be given a handsome husband."
