"Now that your power has been restored, your memories should have returned as well," Yu Heng's voice came from behind the two of them. "Explain why you betrayed the Divine Realm, and perhaps I can plead for you."
Xia Xiang glanced at him indifferently and asked, "Who are you?"
"What are you going to pretend to be stupid for?" Yu Heng put his hands in his pockets and looked at Xia Xiang with displeasure.
Xia Xiang looked at him coldly, her suppressed anger churning in her eyes, her emotions shifting constantly between regret, resentment, despair, and grievance.
Yu Heng was taken aback, and a hint of Wang Da Dong's bewilderment appeared on her face, just like Ying Xi's when she saw him return.
He didn't understand why Yingxi didn't want to see him now that he was back, since she missed him terribly too.
Now, belatedly, she realizes that he is a complete stranger to Yingxi, possessing only the memories and power of her lover, but no longer her lover at all.
Xia Xiang and the others have always known Wang Da Dong. He now only has the memories and energy from before, and the insignificant Wang Da Dong can be easily wiped out by him.
But Wang Dadong is a very, very important person to his family.
He had completely forgotten that he had gone through so much trouble to go home and let them know he was safe, and to check if both timelines were safe. Instead, he came straight to Huai'an and Xia Xiang to explain things that happened so long ago that he couldn't even remember how many years ago it was.
Now, he doesn't even know who he is or who he should be.
"Xia Xiang!" Seeing her like this, Xuan Ming stepped forward and grabbed her arm to remind her, "Calm down."
"Thank you, I'm calm." Xia Xiang lowered her eyes, suppressing all her emotions, and put her hand on his arm to help her stand up.
"Let's begin," Xia Xiang said to Ding Xiaoyu, who looked worried.
"Are you feeling alright right now?" Xuan Ming gently stroked Xia Xiang and asked with concern, "We can wait a little longer."
"Okay," Xia Xiang let go of him and turned to walk into the house.
——
“Although the demonic runes are on the body, the soul will feel extreme pain during the cleansing process,” Xuan Ming said, looking at Ding Xiaoyu.
Xia Xiang also quietly watched Ding Xiaoyu, waiting for him to express his opinion.
"We definitely have to switch it back, otherwise some people will cry again." Ding Xiaoyu showed her first genuine smile in days.
Xia Xiang: ...Is it alright?
——
Energy kept flowing into Ding Xiaoyu's original body, and the dense magic patterns were gradually wiped away by the white energy. He was suffering great pain not far away.
Sweat poured down his face, soaking his bangs and sticking to his temples, where veins bulged from the pain.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked so pitiful.
Hearing his painful roars, Xia Xiang felt a pang of pity, but she increased the energy she was transmitting through her hands.
If she had been a little faster, he would have suffered less.
Until the last trace of magic runes disappeared, Jiu Wu lay quietly on the carpet, as if he had been pulled out of the water, barely able to move a finger.
Xuanming pouted, reached out and pulled him to a chair, then rubbed his hand against himself in disgust.
Ding Xiaoyu: ......
"I'm not targeting you, I'm like this to them all." Xuan Ming offered a rare explanation when he saw Ding Xiaoyu's speechless expression.
At that moment, the black token in Diablo's hand shattered into dust.
——
After resting for a while, Jiu Wu and Ding Xiaoyu went back to their respective positions.
"Xuanming, did Jiuwu take this long before? Are they better or not?" Xia Xiang paced anxiously in the courtyard, extremely agitated.
"I'm really curious, they all look the same, so who do you like?" Xuan Ming lay leisurely on the recliner, completely unaffected by Xia Xiang's anxiety.
"Why should I tell you!" Xia Xiang said with some disdain, then added earnestly, "None of that matters anymore. What matters is that the universe is about to be destroyed, so what's the point of talking about love?"
"I know you're jealous of me. You've lived all these years and still don't have a girlfriend. Haven't you ever reflected on that? Maybe it's your problem?"
"Stop!" Xuan Ming raised his hand and clenched his fist, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more.
Before Xia Xiang could figure out how to retort, she was hugged from behind by a familiar embrace. Before she could even feel sad, the man locked her throat with his arms.
"Little fatty, you didn't even answer his question directly!" Jiu Wu's tone was filled with resentment. "Are you going to abandon me again?"
"No," Xia Xiang suppressed the last bit of excitement she felt from the long-awaited reunion and pulled her arm away. "Let's take Xiaoyu home."
——
The three did not return directly to the Gold Dimension, but went to the Silver Dimension first.
Before Xia Xiang was seriously injured and fell into a coma, she also sensed the powerful energy of the mysterious person and was worried that the Silver Dimension and they would be in danger.
When the three of them arrived at the place where she had been waiting for her grandfather, he had not yet returned, so she could only send him a telepathic message, saying that she had to go back to the Iron Dimension.
——The Land of Desolation——
Yu Heng sat motionless in the courtyard, lost in thought, slowly sorting through the memories in his mind.
"You should go back now. She probably doesn't want to see you again." Xuan Ming looked down at him. "Ling Shuang and the others know you're back."
"Xuanming, I remember you and Huai'an were evenly matched before, why are you so weak now???" Yu Heng asked, his eyes unfocused as he stared at the dim sky of the Land of Annihilation.
"Get out!" Xuanming angrily kicked a small pebble at his feet.
The pebble was bounced up and hit Yu Heng's little finger.
"You injured me, it's an internal injury, it might take a hundred or two hundred years to heal." Yu Heng pulled himself out of the ground, and then left the Land of Annihilation.
Xuanming: ...
Forget it, they'll pin everything on him anyway. Now he has to risk his life to report Huai'an's death. He's really exhausted.
