"Go find Qiye and tell him I sent you," Zhou Ping said, seeing 019 pacing around anxiously, so he simply passed the buck to him again.
019: ...
019 thinks it makes sense. After all, a husband's debts are repaid by his wife, and a teacher's debts are repaid by his students. That makes sense.
"Alright, since you put it that way, I'll reluctantly agree." Despite saying that, 019 agreed without any hesitation.
"You'll have to walk the rest of the way yourself," 019 waved his lined hand at Zhou Ping. "After all, my mission isn't finished yet, so I can't leave this place."
Zhou Ping nodded to him. He didn't have much to pack; just two swords would suffice.
Before leaving, Zhou Ping took a tree branch, infused it with his sword energy, and then handed it to 019. "I need to hurry. I can't go and talk to Qi Ye and the others in person. If you take this branch, he will believe you after seeing the sword energy inside."
"Oh, right, take Nyx's remaining divine essence to him as well. Maybe he can find a way to heal it."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ping had thought of everything. After 019 put the black crystal into the system space, the black-lined arms tightly hugged the tree branch, its eyes brimming with tears.
"I've already entered the coordinates of the Nine Continents into the memory crystal. I don't know when we'll meet again," 019 said tearfully as she bid farewell to Zhou Ping.
After all, Zhou Ping is going to leave this world for another world. By the time he finds Chu Changliu and returns, 019's mission may be completed and he may have left this plane.
This might be the last time we see each other, and 019 is a little reluctant to part.
"If you see him, remember to pass on a message for me." In this situation, 019's beady eyes managed to shed two large tears.
"You say it," Zhou Ping said, raising his hand to fasten the Dragon Elephant Sword and the white bone sword to his waist. Seeing that 019 was actually crying, he felt somewhat helpless.
Do systems cry?
019 Moo Moo cried twice, then hiccuped, "It was a very pleasant time, I hope we can meet again next time!"
After saying that, 019 turned her back and ran away.
Zhou Ping watched it leave until the little white ball disappeared into the mist. Then he raised his head slightly and walked towards the sky.
The sword law surrounding him dispersed into wisps of clouds.
He touched the "boundary".
Reaching out and touching the "boundary," he, whose cultivation was already sufficient, stepped out of the "boundary."
After leaving this realm, Zhou Ping stood under the night sky, looking at the glittering starry sky in the universe, the scene here clearly reflected in his pupils.
“This is… the Fifth Universe.” He stood there, like a mayfly in the vast universe.
They looked out into the space beyond the fifth universe.
The black veil on her hand and the white memory crystal pointed to the location.
"The Nine Provinces Continent?"
Chu Changliu was right. Just leaving the Fifth Universe took Zhou Ping nearly a month, not to mention having to follow the guide to the designated coordinates, the Nine Continents.
The place 019 gave them was very, very far away from the Fifth Universe, and Zhou Ping didn't know how much time it took him to get there.
However, when he arrived outside the "boundary" of the Nine Provinces Continent, he found himself rejected and unable to enter.
How could this happen?
Just as he was about to force his way in, a slender hand reached out from inside the "boundary".
"The aura of a god?" The man's golden eyes swept over Zhou Ping in front of him, somewhat puzzled. "With your cultivation level, you shouldn't have set foot here."
"I'm here to find someone."
"Hmm...the person you're looking for isn't here. Leave quickly."
"..."
...
Southern Temple.
Ever since Lord Jungan woke up, he has had a cold face and rarely utters more than a few words. Anyone who sees him would want to avoid him.
Seeing that Chu Changliu was awake, Li Yan was too lazy to talk to him anymore.
Without arguing, he directly gave the order to move all the affairs, big and small, from the Eastern and Southern Regions to Chu Changliu's place.
“I’ve been reviewing your memorials for so many years. Your situation this time was extremely dangerous, but thankfully you survived.”
"Since you're alive again, and your brain and hands aren't injured, you can handle these things as you see fit."
Chu Changliu: ...
Looking at the mountain of memorials, the fox shrunk completely.
"No, did you not do your job properly? Why are there so many?" Chu Changliu asked.
Li Yan: ?
“There are at least a hundred of these memorials every day. A few days ago, after you were forcibly summoned back, I didn’t have time to deal with them in order to stabilize your divine power,” Li Yan said after a moment of contemplation. “In the past, I would approve them on the same day. These are for your sake, there’s no other way.”
Chu Changliu let out a long sigh.
Li Yan was very busy; he still had to go down to the mortal realm to find his wife. Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you're really cured now?"
"Really, it won't happen again..." Li Yan hesitated, glancing at Chu Changliu's expression. Finding nothing amiss, she felt slightly relieved.
“There’s hope for the future, things won’t be like this anymore,” Chu Changliu waved his hand at Li Yan, “Since you’re in such a hurry, then let’s go.”
Seeing that he looked relaxed, Li Yan smiled at him, turned around and left, moving so fast that his afterimage could be seen.
In fact, the affairs of the Southern and Eastern Regions are neither numerous nor few.
As Chu Changliu handled these cases more and more, he became more adept at them.
One day, after finishing dealing with these reports early in the morning, he listlessly opened his notebook.
[Year of the Yonghe Calendar.]
Today is the fifth day since I returned from the world of Godslayer. As the lord of the Southern Region, I cannot leave here for the time being...
Although I felt the hope was slim, I couldn't help but wonder if Zhou Ping would come looking for me.
[How do I explain this? How do I explain that I'll be staying here for a thousand years, reviewing memorials for a thousand years?]
As he wrote this, Chu Changliu's fingertips trembled slightly, and he almost lost his grip on the pen. A drop of ink fell, staining a large area of ink.
"Forget it, I'd better not think about it anymore. I don't think he'll ever find me," Chu Changliu comforted himself.
Then he got up and paced back and forth in the main hall, saying, "The key point is that we had an argument..."
He's a bit slow to realize it now.
"Was what I said a bit too harsh back then?" A scene flashed through Chu Changliu's mind: Zhou Ping, with a gloomy expression, pointing the Dragon Elephant Sword at him and demanding an explanation.
After pacing anxiously back and forth twice, he turned around and sat down on the couch, muttering to himself for a while before finally calming down.
"I'm just scaring myself. It's impossible. This place is so far from the Fifth Universe. Unless someone gave him directions, how could he possibly find me?"
