He couldn't remember how long ago it was, but someone had told him that if true love existed in the world, time would flow backward.
Shang never paid any attention to such things, because in his heart, there was no room for anything other than cultivation.
Having experienced all walks of life since birth and grown up, and witnessed the coldness and warmth of human relationships, my heart has gradually become devoid of warmth. All I desire is immortality, and all I think about is how to increase my strength, stand at the top, and look down on everything.
Looking at life with a detached perspective, all entanglements are pointless.
All sorts of people came and went around him, but only one woman remained by his side.
He didn't remember how she appeared, but whenever he was in trouble, she would be there.
At first, he found it annoying, but he gradually got used to it, and eventually it became a name he would unconsciously say.
He knew this was detrimental to his cultivation, so he tried every possible way to avoid, escape, and even harm others.
I remember him telling her, "Stop bothering me. My heart can only hold godhood."
She simply gave him a deep look, said nothing more, and resolutely left.
She didn't show up again for a long time.
He went from feeling uncomfortable at first, to feeling relieved later, and finally stopped thinking about her altogether.
Then one day, she found him, gave him a crystal-clear bead, and told him that it could help him become a god.
She spoke so casually, just like she always did when she was joking.
He took it without hesitation and casually tucked it into his sleeve. He knew that if he didn't accept it, she would find a thousand reasons to force him to.
For example, if you don't accept it, it means you care about me and don't want to owe me anything, so that you won't be able to pay me back later.
For example, the thing I give you is just a small item; if you don't want it, just throw it away. However, if I see it, it means we have a deep connection, and you can no longer run away.
For example, if the weather is nice today and you don't want to take my things, then come with me for a walk; we have nothing else to do anyway.
She always had a valid reasoning, such as these.
After packing everything up, she smiled, a smile of relief.
She said she was leaving and that people shouldn't contact her unless they really missed her.
He nodded, assuming she was just looking for a reason to make him remember her.
After a long, long time, he underwent a divine tribulation. He almost failed at the last moment, but it was the bead that he had casually put away that saved him and helped him achieve godhood. Her aura became intertwined with his from then on, and they could never be separated again.
It was at that moment that he realized that what she had given her was actually her own divine essence!
Divinity is equivalent to the life of a god; how did she extract it?
His heart trembled the moment he learned the truth.
He knew that from that moment on, he could never let her go!
Whenever I cultivate, her aura flows through my body, and her voice, appearance, and smile always appear in my mind, as if I were bewitched.
Unable to calm his mind to cultivate any longer, he gathered all his emotions together and refined them into an avatar.
With his main body free of distracting thoughts, he released his clones to experience different worlds.
One day, his long-time subordinate reported that he had discovered the clone, as well as the outsiders in the small world.
These miniature worlds were created casually by him. Once created, each one formed its own system, perfect for his clones to train within.
Unexpectedly, his clone sensed her location and followed her all the way.
He received all of his clone's joys and sorrows, but did not stop it.
Occasionally, I would pay attention to the status of the clone and discover that it was growing at an extremely fast pace.
He wanted to see just how far his clone would grow.
He was aware of his subordinates' underhanded tactics, but he did not stop them.
He was conflicted. On one hand, he hoped that his clone could bring her back, but on the other hand, he was struggling with how he should face her.
However, after resting for only a short while, the clone had grown to the point where it could ambush him and imprison him in the Divine Transformation Pool.
That was the place she had once been, where she dissipated her divine power and forced out her divine essence.
Only through firsthand experience did he understand what she had gone through back then.
He had the opportunity to escape, but he let it go.
He wanted to know just how deep the emotions had to be for a god to willingly give up all his cultivation to create another god.
The more his soul ached, the clearer his senses became.
When the pain penetrated to the very marrow of his bones and reached the depths of his heart, he suddenly understood that no matter how deep the pain was, it could not compare to the despair in his heart.
Living for thousands of years, yet constantly seeking but never obtaining, will one day plunge one into an abyss of suffering.
He didn't quite understand why, but at that moment, he knew he didn't want to be alone anymore.
Just let it be; his clone understands emotions better than he does!
All of this was originally given to him by her, something he shouldn't have wanted.
It has fallen into a deep sleep.
I've completely severed my obsession.
He heard her whisper in his ear, "From now on, there will be no more connection," "I've decided to let go"...
No, this is not what he wanted!
He wanted to hear her voice, watch her laugh, watch her make a fuss, and watch her domineering side when she tried to reason with him over the smallest things!
His emotions had never been so intense!
Every scene from their time together in every world flashed through his mind. He knew that his clone had returned, carrying his intense feelings for her, and had come back to his body.
The world I saw when I opened my eyes was a shocking sight of devastation, yet the recovering life was filled with familiar scents.
