It seems that the immortals of Penglai had said long ago that there were two chosen women.
The world thinks that Song Siyao is the one who bears the heavy responsibility of ascending to immortality, but they forget that one can also ascend to immortality by showing compassion for all living beings and proving one's Dao.
After that, Song Tingwan's reputation as a goddess was confirmed.
After a moment of stunned silence, the Six Realms were followed by a belated but delightful realization.
"We... the cataclysmic calamity has passed?!"
"We've survived!"
Such joyful words occurred everywhere in the Six Realms, and at this moment, everyone was truly moved to tears.
It's good that I don't have to die.
The six realms rejoiced, and the two sisters looked down upon all living beings from the highest heavens.
For a moment, he was speechless.
"You and I ascend to heaven by proving our divine status through the lives of all living beings, but we are still one step short of the ladder to heaven."
Song Tingwan frowned, her long hair swaying in the wind.
Ordinary people do not possess divine status, and since their time, the Heavenly Ladder has remained unable to ferry people across this world.
Song Siyao frowned; there were only ten steps left to go.
"What's there to worry about? I haven't even made my move yet."
The old man sat alone in front of an empty table and chairs, clouds rose from beneath his feet, and after making a pronouncement, he flew towards them.
The crowd, who were celebrating joyfully, were taken aback and fell silent once more.
Didn't they successfully ascend to immortality?
As the dusty old man flew away, some people belatedly realized that the heavenly ladder connecting to the gate of the divine realm was still a little short.
It is not obvious from the ground and the sky above the six realms.
Song Tingwan's heart skipped a beat, "Senior..."
Song Siyao did not know this senior, but having successfully ascended, she keenly sensed the profound and ancient power within him.
"What do you want to do? Perhaps when I go to the realm of gods, I can find a way to repair the Heavenly Ladder."
So please, don't act impulsively.
Song Siyao's eyes flickered, clearly recalling the predecessors who had paved the way to heaven with their own bodies.
Upon careful consideration, the path to ascension is interconnected, and each step is indispensable.
But now that she has successfully saved the world, as for ascending to heaven, she can figure out a way later.
The old man, with his hands behind his back, squeezed between the sisters and chuckled happily.
“Little girl, aren’t you curious about my name? I’ll tell you today.”
He smiled at Song Tingwan.
The two sisters listened intently, only to see him stepping into the void of the Heavenly Ladder. They reached out to pull him, but the old man's figure vanished, turning into a clod of earth.
"I have no name; since the beginning of time, all living beings have called me—"
"The Breath of Earth".
A small piece of soil slowly transformed and unfolded, filling the gap in the ladder to heaven.
Just as the Song sisters were feeling grief, they heard the old man's cheerful voice.
"There's no need to grieve for me; I am immortal."
It's just that the memories of nearly ten thousand years are gone, and it will take another ten million years to refine it into human form.
Having mistakenly entered this world, I stayed here for ten thousand years, and finally accumulated some merit.
This trip was worthwhile.
The old man's lively voice faded away, and Song Tingwan couldn't help but feel sad again.
Too many people have died along the way.
"Sister... I need to leave this world before I can truly say I have succeeded in saving the world."
Song Siyao's mind was still unsettled; her pupils alternated between red and black, and the red mixed in with her black hair never faded.
She sensed something and spoke with a complex mix of emotions and reluctance.
Song Tingwan glanced at her sideways and said gently, "I choose to stay."
Her Taoist partner, friends, and disciples are all waiting for her to save them.
And what about Father? I don't know if he's awake or not.
You can ascend, but this is not the time.
She still has too many people she can't let go of.
Song Siyao did the same. Her dark red eyes swept over the throng of cultivators. She pursed her lips and gave her older sister a hug.
She couldn't bear to leave her older sister and her father's close friends, but she had an even greater responsibility on her shoulders.
"Sister, the rest is up to you."
With her older sister around, she could leave with peace of mind.
Song Tingwan smiled gently, just like in all the previous farewells.
Go ahead.
My sister, the strongest in the Six Realms, is about to challenge all the gods of the God Realm.
You'd better work hard and beat them down, so that we can go up there and continue to be arrogant and domineering.
Song Siyao nodded earnestly, "I will."
In fact, they all knew that their grandfather was respected by the gods in the divine realm, and their mother was probably doing quite well up there as well.
When A Yao went up, she guessed that someone would already be there to greet her.
But as they talked and listened, both of them were reluctant to part.
Finally, Song Siyao took a deep breath, flicked her high ponytail with braids, and transformed it into a fiery red sword, rushing towards the golden road.
The figure disappeared at the end.
As the celestial music faded, the golden avenue closed up again, and everything returned to normal.
Golden light, brimming with vitality, cascaded down from the clouds, bathing all living beings in its glow. Each received an opportunity, and countless people broke through their limitations on the spot.
Song Tingwan's dress danced without wind, and she stood there for a long time.
After a while, looking down, the Six Realms were still in a mess even after the Heavenly Dao helped restore them.
That's terrible.
She sighed and descended from the heavens to the mortal realm.
A goddess descends to earth to save the world from devastation.
And... to bring back the people she cares about, one by one.
Without them, it's really quiet and boring around me.
It makes one miss it so much that one almost cries.
