The atmosphere was relaxed again thanks to Chen Ping's words. Although they all knew that future challenges and unknown threats were still lurking in the shadows, they chose to cherish the peace they had.
Lucifer, Angelica, Gabriel, and Seraphim followed Chen Ping on their journey back to the Heart of the Divine Island.
As they crossed the borders of Hell, they encountered many terrified demons along the way. Lucifer provided timely guidance and comfort, ensuring that order in Hell was quickly restored.
Meanwhile, Chen Ping and the others, guided by Lucifer, skillfully avoided potentially chaotic areas and swiftly and smoothly traversed Hell, heading towards the Heart of the Isle of God.
Returning to the Heart of the Divine Island, the familiar scenery eased everyone's anxieties. The tranquil atmosphere and warm sunshine on the island contrasted sharply with the previous battlefield.
They each went to their lodgings, quickly treated the wounds left from the battle, and then gathered together to enjoy a rare moment of peace.
Chen Ping sat by the sea, gazing at the sea that had witnessed countless battles and victories of them, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Gabriel and Angelica chatted nearby, occasionally letting out soft laughter as they shared amusing anecdotes from outside the battle, trying to lighten the mood.
Seraphin stood quietly to the side, gazing into the distance, his eyes reflecting both worry about the future and trust in his companion.
Lucifer sat down next to Chen Ping and said softly, "Although today's events have come to a temporary end, we all know that this is just the beginning. We cannot let our guard down about the unknown horrors beneath the abyss."
Chen Ping nodded, his gaze deep: "Indeed, but I believe that as long as we are united, there are no difficulties we cannot overcome. Today, we have proven this, and in the future, we will continue to prove it."
In the setting sun, their shadows stretched long, appearing exceptionally resolute. Although Heaven had been destroyed, and the secrets of the black hole and tentacles remained unsolved, they had found a moment of peace and a source of power on this sacred island.
Chen Ping and his companions understood that rest was essential for a better fight. They would prepare for all the challenges to come and safeguard the peace and tranquility of the Heart of the Divine Island.
......
Seraphim walked up to Chen Ping and Lucifer, his smile relaxed and cheerful, as if trying to dispel the gloom in their hearts.
"Chen Ping, Lucifer, I think we need some time to celebrate and relax. You know, it's been a long time since we've had a get-together like this."
I just talked to my older sisters Angelica, Gabrielle, and Linafil, and we're planning to have a beach barbecue, just like we always do. What do you think?
Upon hearing this, Angelica smiled gently. She turned to the crowd, her voice warm yet persuasive: "Indeed, after everything we've been through, we should give ourselves a chance to breathe."
Moreover, such activities can enhance our understanding and bond, can't they?
Gabriel nodded in agreement, her expression softening slightly: "I agree, and we can invite other residents of the island to participate, so that everyone can feel this hard-won peace."
Linafeel smiled and said, "I'll take care of preparing some special drinks and desserts for everyone, guaranteed to wipe away all your fatigue!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping smiled, a smile he hadn't shown in a long time: "That sounds good. It's a good opportunity for us to relax."
Lucifer chuckled, and Blackwing gently patted the ground in support: "Then it's settled. I'll go prepare some special ingredients to make tonight's banquet even more unforgettable."
After all, celebrating victory and survival is our right.
So everyone split up and started preparing for the upcoming beach barbecue party.
Angelica and Gabrielle were responsible for coordinating the venue setup to ensure the environment was both safe and comfortable.
Serafine then began selecting ingredients and preparing barbecue equipment.
Linafil is busy mixing drinks and baking desserts.
......
As the sun slowly sank below the horizon, a unique barbecue feast began on the beach of the Heart of the Divine Island.
The orange-red afterglow spilled onto the fine sand, and a gentle sea breeze brought a touch of coolness and comfort.
Angelica and Gabrielle's meticulous arrangements transformed the entire beach, with colorful lanterns and seashell wind chimes hanging from thin ropes swaying gently in the breeze and making pleasant sounds.
Rows of long tables were neatly arranged, covered with exquisite tablecloths, and set with a variety of food and drinks, ready to welcome the guests.
Serafin busied himself in front of the grill, skillfully flipping the meat skewers and vegetables. Amidst the swirling smoke, the aroma filled the air, making everyone's mouths water.
Linafil, meanwhile, was showcasing her magical arts, creating enticing drinks, each one seemingly containing a tiny miracle. The dessert section was also dazzling and colorful.
Soon after, clan leaders such as Lushu, Mengjia, and Huaxiao arrived. This banquet was very large, and the entire area around Crescent Lake was decorated.
Lycia brought a group of little kids to the banquet, including Ao Yunyu, Ai Laiyi, Yi Mo'er, and some little angels, elves, and mermaids. Their arrival filled the entire beach with childlike innocence and vitality.
The children ran and played excitedly on the beach, occasionally crowding around the barbecue grill with wide eyes to watch Serafin cook the food, their laughter ringing out like silver bells.
Chen Ping, Lucifer, Angelica, Gabriel, and Seraphim sat around a table, enjoying a rare moment of leisure. They chatted with the tribespeople around them from time to time, sharing their adventures and aspirations for the future.
On this beach filled with harmony and joy, everyone temporarily forgot about the challenges to come and immersed themselves in this hard-won peace and warmth.
As night fell, the bonfire party officially began. The firelight illuminated everyone's faces as they danced and sang in a circle. Under the starry sky, the Heart of the Divine Island appeared especially peaceful and beautiful.
Chen Ping carried a plate of barbecue off the grill and exclaimed, "Great! Finally, I'm not the one grilling anymore. It's definitely better to just use barbecue directly. It's so satisfying!"
Unfortunately, before Chen Ping could even head back with the barbecue, he was harassed by Lycia and the others.
Hiss~
Looking down at Lycia and Ao Yunyu, who were clinging to his legs, Chen Ping said helplessly, "Lycia, and Ao Yunyu, what are you doing?"
Ellie looked at the scene unfolding before her with a bewildered expression. Should she hug him too?
