As long as I can save Chuchu, I will do it even if it costs me my life." Lu Chenguang's voice was soft, but it contained a firmness and determination that could not be questioned.
He pursed his lips tightly, his body trembling slightly as he tried his best to resist the powerful and evil external force. At the same time, with his extraordinary will, he guided every bit of energy flowing in the magic circle, and gathered it on Chu Chu's body as gently and firmly as a long stream, reshaping her true form.
This was a race against time, a race against time, time stretched to infinity, every second weighing a thousand pounds. Every breath Lu Chenguang took was a challenge to his limits, every heartbeat pulsated with his deep love and unshakable commitment to Chuchu.
Finally, after countless thrilling confrontations and counterattacks, the external force that attempted to destroy everything began to show signs of fatigue and gradually lost its former arrogance and arrogance. In the end, in the face of Lu Chenguang's indomitable will, it completely dissipated and turned into nothingness.
As the last ray of evil light faded, Chuchu's figure gradually emerged from the center of the magic circle. She lay there quietly, her eyes closed. Though her face was pale, her brows brimmed with a tranquility and peace that transcended life and death. Beside him, Lu Chenguang, exhausted from all his strength, slowly collapsed, a smile of relief playing on his lips. It was the relief of having completed his mission, and the genuine joy of Chuchu's rebirth.
"Chu Chu...you...are finally back..." These were the words he said with his last bit of strength before he lost consciousness. These few simple words contained his deep longing and expectation for Chu Chu, which was as warm and touching as the spring breeze.
Chuchu suddenly opened her eyes, as if awakening from a long dream, sparkling with curiosity and gratitude for her new life. Her gaze fell on the unconscious Lu Chenguang beside her, tears streaming down her face. Her voice trembled slightly, "I'm back. Thank you, Lu Chenguang."
At this moment, Qingtian, as the first being to sense the change, rushed forward excitedly, his joy evident in words: "Princess Di, you're finally awake! That's great! Everyone was so worried. Over a month has already passed in the human world."
Chuchu's return thrilled everyone present. Tianyi, Lanying, and the others rushed over upon hearing the news, surrounding her with concern evident in their hearts. Chuchu stood up, feeling the newfound strength surge within her. Not only did her magic power fully recover, but she also unexpectedly awakened fragments of her tens of thousands of years of memories as a member of the Chongming bird clan. All those past glories and tribulations now became her most precious treasures deep within her heart.
She gently comforted Tian Yi and the others, reassuring them. Then, Chu Chu slowly sat down, gently helped Lu Chenguang up, and used her powerful magic to gently wake him up.
In the quiet and solemn Lingjun Palace, Lu Chenguang's recovery speed was extraordinary, and his body and will showed amazing recovery ability.
Chuchu sat opposite him, her eyes showing both worry about the future and concern for the person in front of her.
"Demon Lord, it's time to return to the Demon Realm. In the coming days, I'm afraid we will have to face a joint attack from the Heaven Realm and the Demon Realm. The situation is not optimistic."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chenguang remained calm, as if the storms in the outside world could not shake his heart.
"What about you? Where will you go? Will you continue to stay in Jiayang Mountain, or do you have other plans?"
Chu Chu heard this and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She stood up gently and walked to the window with light steps. Her eyes looked through the window lattice, as if penetrating the boundaries of time and space.
"Whether it was the ten thousand years in Jiayang Mountain or the thousand years in the underworld, they were far less than the short two years I spent in the human world. There were so many emotions and experiences there that I will never forget. Especially meeting you, Demon Lord, in the human world was a clever arrangement of fate."
Lu Chenguang's tall figure followed Chuchu's steps and stood quietly behind her, like a solid mountain, giving her silent support.
"Do you want to return to the human world? Does that place hold special meaning for you?"
Chuchu nodded, her eyes flashing with determination and tenderness.
"Yes, I promised to be Ms. Song's daughter for eighteen years. Now counting the time, there are still sixteen years to go. Besides, this half month in Jiayang Mountain is just a blink of an eye in the long life. Why can't I step into the human world again and continue this unfinished fate?"
Yet, Lu Chenguang's smile seemed a little stiff. He had lost his Heavenly Family's magical powers and completely absorbed himself into the demonic realm. The warmth and smile he once possessed seemed to have vanished along with them. Millens of years of demonic cultivation in the Netherworld had etched a deep mark on his soul, filling him with a thirst for destruction and a disregard for all life.
He is no longer the Lu Chenguang who could easily smile. The thousand-year-old demonic energy of the Netherworld has made him lose too much of his self.
Because all the spiritual power accumulated over ten thousand years had been restored, Chu Chu keenly noticed the changes in Lu Chenguang and had a clear perception of the demonic energy surging in Lu Chenguang's body.
"You should return to the Demon Realm first and rest in peace in the secret realm. I will do my best to find a way to suppress the demonic energy in your body. I can clearly sense the desire to destroy the six realms."
Lu Chenguang couldn't help but show surprise when he heard this. "Can you hear my thoughts?"
Chuchu nodded gently, a hint of pride and tenderness in her tone. "Yes, this is a unique ability of our Chongming bird clan. Whether it's joy or sorrow, hope or despair, I can resonate with you through the power of my heart."
The two finally decided.
Lu Chenguang returned to the demon world first, and Chuchu returned to the human world first.
Chuchu decided to take Tianyi and Qingtian back to the human world first. She returned to Song Yaqing's new home, the Gu family, for the first time on the pretext of "just returning from a filming mission abroad."
The Gu family was full of surprise and welcome for Chuchu's return, especially Song Yaqing, who had tears in her eyes and hugged Chuchu tightly, as if she was afraid that this happiness would slip away again.
"Chu Chu, you're really back! Mom misses you so much." Song Yaqing's voice was full of excitement and reluctance.
Chuchu patted Yaqing's back gently and comforted her, "Mom, I miss you too. I will spend more time with you when I come back this time."
Tianyi and Qingtian transformed into a cat and a dog and watched this scene, feeling warm in their hearts.
Although they are not human, they have deeply integrated into the life of the human world during this period and regard the human world as their true home.
