Everything he did was in accordance with fate; the only thing he wanted was her. But as it turns out, their destiny cannot be forced.
When faced with the choice between her survival and the fate of the universe, he could never choose her first. And she, too, would rather sacrifice herself than see the universe destroyed.
She protects the universe because her loved ones, family, and friends are here. And he doesn't want the universe to be destroyed, also because of her, and because of his own mission.
When Jiu Wu arrived at the Divine Realm, he remembered the life-sharing lock they shared.
So he amplified Jiu Wu's worries, controlled her behavior, made her rush to the front, and let her kill herself, thus freeing herself from Huai Yuan Chu's control.
He had no other choice; together with Huai Yuanchu, no one could defeat them.
Fortunately, she was eventually rescued by her family and friends, but he couldn't bear to let her die in front of him, so he did everything in his power to take her place.
She has her own family and friends, while he has nothing...
...
When Huai'an and she came to find him, he had already regained his energy and memories, but he did not want to go back.
After dying once, he finally understood that perhaps his feelings for Huaiying were not for a woman, but rather like those for a family member.
Just treat her like a younger sister you raised yourself.
"Are you two siblings sick?!" Xuan Ming complained unhappily, pointing at Xia Xiang's still-flat stomach. "I already took care of Huai Ying when she was little, and now you want me to take care of her too? You're both inhuman!"
"You're overthinking it," Xia Xiang rolled her eyes at him and slapped his impolite hand away. "I'm asking you to go back and share some of the work. I still need to find other people. Besides, she's very well-behaved, we don't need you to take care of us."
"What about the acupuncture dance?" Xuanming asked.
Xia Xiang's brows furrowed with a hint of worry as she "went into seclusion," but she quickly dismissed it, saying, "He's cultivating diligently."
“I’m sorry about what happened in the Divine Realm,” Xuan Ming confessed. “When you were controlled by Huai Yuan Chu, I controlled Jiu Wu and made you kill him with your own hands, and also kill yourself.”
Xia Xiang was surprised for a moment, then said, "That's terrible, because of Jiu Wu's idiotic behavior, he agreed to a lot of unreasonable and excessive requests of mine."
"Let's keep this a secret and not let Jiu Wu know."
Xuanming, Huai'an: ...
"How did you get back?" Xuanming asked Huai'an again.
Xia Xiang also looked at Huai An curiously, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"I came back whenever I wanted," Huai'an said dismissively, showing no intention of telling them the truth.
Neither of them pressed the issue, and they continued their casual conversation.
Xuanming wanted to live a secluded life here and had no intention of leaving. No matter how the two tried to disturb him, he remained unmoved.
However, Huai'an was the most persistent, and Xia Xiang couldn't persuade him otherwise. She could only play around in different places in this time and space, and occasionally go back to inspect this time and space, while also causing Huai'an some trouble.
In the end, when little Yitong was almost born, Xuanming had no choice but to return to Demon-Slaying Island and rebuild the dilapidated Divine Realm from scratch...
Xuanming thought he really didn't need to take care of the child anymore, but Jiuwu was in seclusion, Xia Xiang couldn't let go of her affairs in another time and space, and Huai'an couldn't stay here for long for other reasons, so the child was entrusted to him again...
Fortunately, there were plenty of people on Demon Island and in the Iron Dimension, so he was able to work and take care of his child at the same time without feeling as uncomfortable as when he was with Huaiying.
Time flies, and the others were gradually found. The Divine Realm grew stronger and stronger, helping the superhumans of other universes resist the invasion of the demon realm from other universes.
Years later, when Yitong was able to stand on his own, he happily began his retirement life in the Land of Desolation.
But they always manage to get into trouble. Yi Tong suddenly disappeared and they couldn't find her anywhere.
He could only try to stabilize the situation while helping Xia Xiang and the others find people.
