Yin Chen left happily.
Long Xun gently embraced him, and together they watched the noisy children outside the window. He felt the mermaid leaning on his shoulder getting lighter and lighter, and his figure becoming less and less like a physical being.
A few bubbles, mixed with specks of light, floated in front of him, as if reluctant to leave his face. After rubbing against it slightly, they drifted upwards.
Long Xun did not turn back.
His expression remained calm and indifferent, his pale golden vertical pupils slightly unfocused. A gradually spreading, unfamiliar feeling inadvertently appeared, as if even the gentle seawater surrounding him had become icy cold. The seawater that entered his body with each breath for oxygen exchange seemed to be filled with tiny ice crystals, gently, coldly, leaving a chilling stinging sensation in his chest, gradually stiffening his body.
See you in the next life.
Yin Chen's weak voice barely audible in his ear, but Long Xun felt as if he couldn't speak, so he could only respond very softly.
"Um."
The interplay of light and bubbles creates a dreamlike atmosphere in this small conch-shaped house.
His arms were empty, and then even the scattered points of light and bubbles disappeared.
In the empty room, only Long Xun stood there, his back straight, his left hand half-raised, frozen in the moment he had just embraced Yin Chen.
After a long, long time, he slowly withdrew his hand and placed it on his chest.
'Is this what sadness is...?'
Even though I know your departure is only temporary and we will meet again, I still feel a little sad and painful in my chest when I see you leave.
But there is still something to be thankful for.
I'm glad I'm the one experiencing this feeling.
...
When Mu Lanjun returned to her resting space, she was still curled up on the sofa. Her clothes were even more disheveled, and her hair was messy, as if she had just taken a nap. She was yawning with her eyes half-closed in a daze.
The merit bead taken from her chest began to slowly retract its golden merit. The shimmering merit power was not much more than before, after all, many mermaids had died in the mermaid world.
"You're back." Mu Lanjun waved casually.
"Hmm." Long Xun said calmly, "Is Mu Feng here?"
Mu Lanjun opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Long Xun. The silver-haired, golden-eyed dragon god had a cold expression, and it was impossible to tell what he wanted to do.
"Your Majesty the Phoenix Goddess is awake..." Mu Lanjun answered casually, then suddenly realized after a long while: "You...you?"
After a pause, Mu Lanjun asked with a hint of awe, "You... do you remember?"
"A part of it."
Long Xun stood up, looked at the empty space, raised his hands, backs of his hands facing each other, fingers slightly bent, and then suddenly pulled his hands apart. A tearing sound, like tearing silk, came from the empty space. A dark crack appeared in the air, and looking out through the crack, there was a magnificent and beautiful endless starry river.
Stars gather to form galaxies, galaxies gather to form nebulae, and nebulae gather to form the universe.
Mu Lanjun's pupils contracted slightly, her nonchalant expression vanished, and she rose and bowed respectfully to Long Xun: "Your Majesty, Dragon God, welcome back."
Long Xun did not answer, but simply stepped into the spatial rift he had torn open, holding the Merit Bead that was still slowly accumulating merit in his hand.
Dragon God Palace and Phoenix God Palace are legendary mysterious places that cannot be entered without the permission of the Dragon God and Phoenix God, respectively the residences of the ancestral gods, the Dragon God and the Phoenix God.
The Phoenix God Palace is hidden and does not show itself, while the Dragon God Palace is suppressed in the center of the Tianyan Great World due to its responsibility of protection. It governs the Sealing Immortal Hall, which houses the God Envoys who reward good and punish evil. The merits and cultivation of all living beings in the myriad worlds are recorded by the Sealing Immortal Hall. Those with enough merit can become immortals, shine for several generations, and enjoy blessings for generations to come.
Naturally, the Hall of Conferred Immortals is located in the human realm of the Three Realms and Six Paths, while similar organizations exist in the celestial and terrestrial realms. The Hall of Conferred Immortals is managed by immortals, while the Hall of Ascension to Godhood in the celestial realm is managed by gods, and everyone knows about the underworld.
This resting space is located within the projection realm of the Fengxian Palace. Therefore, when Long Xun came out, he saw a palace complex that was even larger than the continent, floating in the starry sky. Various immortals and gods of different races, dressed in clothes embroidered with silver dragon patterns, came and went, creating a lively and bustling scene.
No longer confined by the narrow confines of the small world, divine consciousness spread out in an overwhelming manner, instantly sweeping across the entire Sealing Immortal Palace, then expanding to the Dragon God Palace, which was comparable to a star system, and then spreading outwards, spreading, spreading...
What does the Heavenly Evolution Great World matter? To Long Xun, it is still insignificant.
Soon, the Phoenix Palace, hidden in another dimension, appeared within the carpet-like search of divine sense. Another equally vast yet gentle consciousness briefly touched Long Xun's divine sense before separating.
At this moment, Mu Lanjun also stepped out of the resting space.
Long Xun turned to look at her: "I have already made an appointment with Mu Feng, you don't need to come along."
Mu Lanjun's respectful response was yes.
When the Dragon God remembered her identity, even with her lazy nature, she dared not show any disrespect again.
At that moment, an unexpected voice rang out: "You...you are that silver dragon?! I...I remember your voice!"
Long Xun looked in the direction of the sound and saw a mermaid with a blue tail, long pale gold hair, and closed eyes. Her hands, neck, and tail were shackled, and her gentle and harmless face was filled with excitement. She was about to pounce on him: "What's going on?!"
Few people have seen the true faces of the Dragon God and Phoenix God. If they didn't say so themselves, no one would guess that this man with dragon horns, a dragon tail, silver hair, and golden eyes is the Ancestral God, the Dragon God.
You should know that there are countless dragons in the Fengxian Palace. Even one of the two guards watching over the mermaid has golden dragon horns and a dragon tail.
