On the solemn altar, the woman's snow-white hair was like a waterfall, losing its luster bit by bit as the power of the Ten Tails in her soul dissipated bit by bit.
But she seemed not to care at all. She gently rested her head on the dragon, her eyes calm and full of attachment.
After a long while, Jianjia closed her eyes, hugged Canglu's body, and allowed herself to lie on him.
Jiang Xuxu and Chu Beihe's hearts trembled, and the scene they had seen in their dreams appeared before their eyes.
The woman sleeping peacefully on the mountain had always been her.
In the thousand years since Cang Lu turned into a dragon vein, perhaps she has been guarding him like this.
Until the soul completely dissipates.
At this moment, Jiang Xuxu was finally convinced that the last time Jianjia looked at Chu Beihe, she must have recognized him.
She knew who Chu Beihe was and guessed his true identity.
Therefore, she chose to sacrifice her soul and let Cang Lu be reborn as a dragon vein...
There are no dragon veins in this world.
The human world has existed for tens of thousands of years, but no real dragon veins have ever been born, let alone dragon veins taking shape.
It was Jianjia who planted this dragon vein with her own hands.
The fact that she was able to get engaged to Chu Beihe, who was a dragon vein, and even get the approval of heaven, was never due to chance.
There were inexplicable emotions surging in his heart, but Jiang Xuxu knew that he had no way to stop it.
Because everything that is happening before our eyes is the result of past cause and effect in this space and time.
Even she and Chu Beihe are part of this cause and effect.
He subconsciously held the hand of Chu Beihe beside him.
Chu Beihe's fingers stiffened slightly, and the next second he held her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear like the person in front of him.
Chu Beihe never thought that his birth was because someone sacrificed his soul for him.
He finally understood what had been missing from his lonely and helpless soul for the past thousands of years.
but……
If possible, he didn't want her to do that.
If Cang Lu's consciousness was still there, he would definitely not want Jian Jia to be like this.
Holding Jiang Xuxu's hand with a little force, Chu Beihe wanted to tell her that in the future... he just wanted Xuxu to live well.
Jiang Xuxu looked at Chu Beihe's slightly trembling palms, as if she understood what he was thinking, but didn't say anything.
Suddenly, I heard the mournful cry of a phoenix.
Perhaps sensing that the two familiar souls were dissipating, the five lights on the side suddenly rose into the air.
The phoenix circled above the altar, constantly emitting mournful cries from its mouth.
Jiang Xuxu looked at it, feeling the sadness and weeping in its voice.
She thought, perhaps Wu Guang and Chu Beihe’s acquaintance and friendship were not accidental.
There was already a cause and effect between him and Chu Beihe, even...
During the thousand years when Cang Lu turned into a dragon vein and slept, he took the place of his favorite Jian Jia and waited for the dragon vein to awaken.
It was also at this moment that she understood why Wu Guang chose to save Shu'e at the cost of his own life.
In addition to the Phoenix's compassion for the world and its instinctive expulsion of evil thoughts, there is also... the obsession of having watched the souls of Cang Lu and Jian Jia dissipate with its own eyes.
He didn't want to repeat the same mistake, and he was even more afraid that Cang Lu, who had finally been reborn, would sacrifice himself to Shu'e again.
As long as the human world does not perish, the evil thoughts represented by Shu'e will never completely disappear.
Wu Guang was unable to destroy the world protected by Cang Lu, and could only sacrifice himself to save Shu'e.
pity……
He failed too.

As Jianjia's spiritual power dissipated, the barrier she used to isolate everyone also disappeared bit by bit.
It was at this time that clouds were seen gathering quickly above the altar. The thick cumulus clouds gave off an oppressive feeling as if the sky was pressing down on the city. Along with thunder, they carried the power of heaven belonging to this space and time.
Jiang Xuxu could feel that the Heavenly Dao was angry.
It was not Qi Jianjia who went against the will of heaven and turned Cang Lu's dragon bones into dragon veins guarding the mountains and rivers of Kyushu.
But he was angry that she destroyed her own soul for this.
Inexplicably, there seemed to be a bit of heartache mixed with the anger.
Jianjia naturally felt it as well.
Jianjia, whose soul had already half dissipated, slowly opened her eyes and looked up at the sky again, but she did not utter another word in the end.
The smile in her eyes at this moment already represents a thousand words.
Cang Lu died protecting Tian Yuan without regrets.
She has no regrets either.
She only wishes to leave behind the last bit of her soul and wait for a thousand years... for her old friend to return.
Jiang Xuxu just stood there, staring at Jianjia who was leaning against Cang Lu. When her spiritual power belonging to the Ten-Tails was about to completely dissipate, he suddenly stepped forward.
He walked step by step to Jianjia, then took off the soul bell in his hand and placed it in Jianjia's palm which was about to dissipate.
She had asked her for it several times, but she never responded.
But now…
"You win, my soul bell is yours."
Jianjia looked at the soul bell in her palm for a long while, then slowly smiled.
A gentle breeze blew, and the soul bell and her body completely turned into spiritual light and dissipated in the air. The familiar soul bell rang softly in the wind.
As if being pulled, Cang Lu's real body turned into spiritual light and followed.
…
The matter here is over. Although Tianyuan is in ruins, they have done what they could.
As for the rest, the people of Tianyuan could only ease the situation on their own, and Chu Beihe and Jiang Xuxu would no longer intervene.
Before returning the body to Chu Bei, the two said goodbye to Sanshu and Wuguang.
Wu Guang had grown into a six-year-old kid. He looked at the two of them with his eyes swollen like blisters and his childish voice was filled with grievance.
"Are you guys leaving too?"
Cang Cang and Jia Jia have both left, and now they are leaving too.
The little phoenix, who was only a few months old, was filled with sadness.
