No one noticed their deaths for a long time afterward.
Until the day of the Ghost Emperor's birthday, when a ghost official was sent to deliver an invitation, the entire Ghost Lotus Mountain was quiet and deserted.
The ghost official waited for a long time without any movement, and dared not break in without permission, so he informed the ghost emperor.
After a moment's thought, the Ghost Emperor came to Ghost Lotus Mountain in person. After waiting for a while, he broke down the door and searched around, but couldn't find a single person. It was as if the two people had vanished into thin air.
None of those rare and exotic birds and beasts that had become spirits had ever seen the two of them.
The two have gone missing.
When this news reached the Heavenly Court, the gods had mixed feelings, some happy and some sad.
The joy comes from no longer having to be treated like a servant, but the sorrow comes from the fact that what I enjoy today seems to be a gift from the two of them...
After a long silence, the Emperor issued a decree with great composure, inviting the two to the Temple of Gods to be worshipped forever.
On the day the divine tablet was placed into the Temple of Conferred Gods, the Ghost Emperor appeared silently and sneered, "In all these years, this is the only thing you have done that resembled that of an emperor."
"You flatter me!" the Emperor replied calmly.
The two former rivals stood silently for a moment, then parted ways, each going their own way.
Not long after the two died.
The gods in Heaven became very anxious because they were wondering where the two had gone:
Based on their skill levels, they could easily live for tens of thousands of years, if not as long as heaven and earth.
The two men were at the peak of their fighting ability, and it was impossible for anyone else to kill them.
The only possibility is that the two of them have found a realm higher than the Heavenly Court, where they might truly live as long as the heavens...
This rumor swept through every temple in Heaven like a gust of wind, stirring the hearts of all the gods.
Someone stumbled upon the "Secret Manual of Yin-Yang Harmony and Dual Cultivation," and a fierce battle for the manual ensued, causing chaos and disorder throughout the land.
Finally, the Emperor forcefully suppressed the urge and put the secret manual into the box.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered cultivating; it's just that he was single...
Many, many years later.
After countless reincarnations, Yao Qingcheng and Nangong Mo finally repaired their souls and successfully ascended to the Heavenly Court once again.
The two, who had transmigrated countless times in the mortal world without ever being bound by marriage, were tied together by the Old Man of the Moon upon ascending to heaven.
The two fell in love at first sight in the Heavenly Court and became an enviable immortal couple. The Emperor remembered that the two had been implicated in the matter of the Divine Rift Stele many years ago, and that they had done some hard work, so he bestowed the book "Secret Manual of Yin-Yang Harmony and Dual Cultivation" upon them.
The two were overjoyed to receive the manual; how could something bestowed by the Emperor be of poor quality?
I've also heard that this manual was left behind by a god, and that the gods fought countless battles in heaven and on earth for it. Now that such a treasure has fallen into my hands, how could I not practice it?
As time went by, no one ever told them that the god who left behind the secret manual was once their mortal enemy.
The two demons excitedly stripped off their clothes to fight, but as soon as they activated their inner energy, excruciating pain swept through their entire bodies. Flames erupted from their internal organs, and before they could even react with shock—"Why did the Emperor harm me?"—they were burned to ashes...
Much later...
The two have been found missing.
This time, the Emperor remained silent. Others were unaware that he had bestowed that secret manual upon the two of them, but the Emperor himself knew it perfectly well.
As the only one who knew the truth, he seemed to have figured out the reason for the disappearance of the two gods, and couldn't help but blush. It was truly absurd!
What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.
...
Linghu Lan's soul was drawn by a white light and drifted towards a bottomless abyss.
She felt a little regretful that she hadn't finished her cultivation, but at least she knew the correct cultivation method, so her death wasn't entirely unjust.
The system in my mind quickly swiped through the data.
