"Grandma, is Lin Yu really not coming back?"
In an ice cave on an Antarctic glacier, a woman respectfully places several glistening peaches on a hanging table, her eyes red-rimmed and her face sorrowful.
On the prayer mat, Ao Shuang, with her head full of white hair, slowly opened her eyes, looked at her granddaughter-in-law, sighed deeply, and did not speak, but simply shook her head gently.
Lu Xueqing pursed her lips. Ten years had passed, and although she had accepted the fact, she still couldn't accept the unbearable longing and loneliness.
"The peaches are growing exceptionally well today. Ever since Lin Yu revived the Earth's spiritual energy and the dragon veins were repaired, the whole world has become more and more vibrant. Even the immortal peach trees have been revitalized from their half-dead state!" Lu Xueqing murmured.
All of this is thanks to my husband!
He dedicated his entire life to protecting the world and humanity, which brought about the new world we have today.
However, he...
Ao Shuang shook her head, slowly stood up, walked outside the cave, and looked up at the southern sky.
His weathered eyes seemed to have traversed the vast world and seen the immense and magnificent Ruins of Guixu.
"Xueqing, you must understand that the Heavenly Dao does not allow such powerful beings to exist!"
"They are allowed to exist because they have a mission, but when their mission ends, they will naturally return to the way of Heaven!"
"He is not dead; he exists in another form, a true eternity!"
Lu Xueqing pursed her lips, her face full of resentment. "But what's the point of this kind of immortality? If you can't be with your family and loved ones, or even see your own child, what's the point even if you save the whole world?"
Ao Shuang's body stiffened instantly, and her calm heart trembled violently, as if pricked by needles.
yes!
This world exists only because of me!
Without me, this world would have no meaning!
Because of me, there are people I miss!
Because of me, I have this unwavering love!
Everything is based on my perspective!
He has achieved immortality and transcendence, but for those who love him, this immortality is no different from death.
It is extremely cruel and painful for those who love him.
But that's just how things are in the world!
"The Great Dao is ruthless, yet it nurtures all things. The Dao is ruthless, yet it is compassionate. Xueqing, I cannot convince you, but now Yu'er has transformed into the Dao. Without a special mission, he will not be reborn in the mortal world. You can feel the breeze and bathe in the sweet dew. Whether you see him or not, you can still feel his warmth!"
This was the only way Ao Shuang could persuade Lu Xueqing.
But for Lu Xueqing, this was undoubtedly like drinking poison to quench her thirst.
She misses Lin Yu so much that she's become obsessed. Yes, if Lin Yu doesn't come back soon, she'll really go insane.
And so, another ten years passed.
She became more silent and missed Lin Yu even more.
"Is the Heavenly Dao truly beyond even the reach of Golden Immortals?"
One day, Lu Xueqing arrived in the West, in a place called Nalanda in India.
The old Zen master who received her was also an immortal who had returned.
The old Zen master's face remained calm, but his expression was somewhat complicated as he said, "Miss Lu, the Heavenly Dao is neither an enemy nor a realm; how can one transcend it?"
"What about the Golden Immortal? Isn't he called the Great Luo Immortal, who can transcend life and death?" Lu Xueqing asked unwillingly.
The old Zen master shook his head. "Whether it's a Golden Immortal or a Great Luo Immortal, they are all manifestations of the Dao, just expressed in a manifest way, like an electric light and electricity! An electric light won't light up without electricity, and only when the light is on do you realize the existence of electricity!"
"Therefore, the existence of Golden Immortals is to prove the existence of the Dao, to embody the Great Dao, and also for... a mission!" Lu Xueqing's beautiful eyes lit up slightly. After verifying the old Zen master's words and Ao Shuang's words, she suddenly understood.
The old Zen master nodded with a smile, "So it is! The Golden Immortal manifests in the lower-dimensional world only to save all living beings; he has an important mission. This is the law of heaven, and it is destiny!"
"So, if the world faces a crisis or major danger, Lin Yu will still appear, right?" Lu Xueqing's clever little brain immediately started working.
The old Zen master paused slightly.
No, girl, that's a dangerous idea!
How long has this world been at peace? What are you planning to do?
"If, and I mean if, I became a major villain and wanted to destroy the entire world, would Lin Yu be able to come back?"
As expected, Lu Xueqing said something shocking.
The old Zen master's body trembled slightly, and his expression twitched and became distorted.
"Girl, you can't joke like that! You are a descendant of an ancient sage and a celestial being with immortal status. You should take it upon yourself to protect the world and save all living beings. How can you have such terrible thoughts!"
The old Zen master was so refined that he didn't utter a single swear word.
Lu Xueqing shook her head with a wry smile, "Just kidding!"
Having cultivated to such a level, how could she not know that if she did this, Lin Yu might return, but perhaps she would be destroyed by the Heavenly Dao.
How powerful is the Way of Heaven?
It is capable of contending with the void; it is the sum of the power of the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity in the entire Saha world!
It is destiny, fate, people, earth, heaven, law, and the Way!
Twenty years ago, humanity was able to defeat the Void. It seems that many immortals and Lin Yu contributed to this victory, but it may not have been entirely outside the control of the Heavenly Dao!
It gave birth to all things and is the mother of this world and all humankind!
She sheltered all her children, yet all her children were also fighting to protect her, because they were all bound by a shared destiny!
Protecting her is protecting humanity itself!
If you go against her, it's like defying your mother and going against the will of Heaven. What good will that do?
Lu Xueqing missed Lin Yu so much that she wouldn't have said such absurd things.
"Master, the Heavenly Secrets Disc has started spinning!"
Just then, a young apprentice suddenly came out from outside, his face filled with terror.
"What?"
The old Zen master was no longer calm, even more so than when Lu Xueqing said she wanted to be the big villain.
The Heavenly Secrets Disc is a secret artifact of their sect, capable of stealing a trace of information from the Heavenly Dao.
Once it starts to turn, that's no joke; it means something truly earth-shattering is about to happen!
Then, a group of people hurriedly arrived at a magic array in the mountains.
At this moment, within the magic array, a golden compass with a diameter of about ten meters, facing the southwest sky, began to spin violently. The runes on it kept changing, and the golden light darted around, making it very unstable.
Swish swish swish!
In an instant, countless powerful figures descended upon this place from all directions.
"Zen Master, the Heavenly Secrets Disc is spinning; is a great event about to unfold in this world?"
Ao Shuang stepped out from the crowd, approached, and asked.
The old Zen master remained silent, staring intently at the compass. After a long while, he slowly uttered eight words.
"Chaos reigns in the upper realms, and unrest reigns on earth!"
