With Hongxuan's capture, the Great Chang Realm suffered a complete defeat, and this war between the two realms, which had lasted for nearly a thousand years, finally came to a conclusion.
As for how to handle it afterward, that's a matter for those powerful beings to consider and decide.
Even the whereabouts of the Heavenly Dao of the Great Vault Realm were reported to Venerable Xiang Ming as soon as he emerged from his brief period of seclusion.
Also handed over was Miao Ji's soul.
Then, with nothing to do, Shushu became a hands-off manager.
Before she could enjoy herself for two days, she, Lu Li, and Pei Anlan were crammed into the first shuttle boat to return to Dawei, along with a group of wounded soldiers.
In the words of Venerable Xiangming, since they had nothing to do here, they might as well take care of escorting the wounded and go back to their secluded cultivation as soon as possible.
That's what they said on the surface, but in reality, Shushu knew that the seniors were worried that, as key figures in the victory, they would try every means to kill the people from the Great Chang Realm who came to negotiate, just to vent their anger.
But things will be different when they return to the Great Enclosure. It will be much safer than being on the battlefield outside the territory. If the people of the Great Chang Realm still want to cause trouble, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven.
After all, the people of the two realms are different. When people from the Great Chang Realm go to the Great Wei Realm, they are like outsiders, and many eyes are watching them.
Moreover, the two worlds have been fighting for so many years, and their relationship is inherently irreconcilable.
Shushu and the others understood the good intentions of their seniors and accepted it readily, embarking on their journey home.
Compared to the perilous journey there, the return trip was smooth sailing, safe and uneventful, and they arrived back at Dawei without any trouble.
Everyone in Dawei had received news of the victory, and upon their return, they were treated like royalty.
The wounded were directly assigned to the Alchemist Guild, funded by all forces in the Great Vault Realm, with the Alchemist Guild responsible for their care and treatment until they recovered.
The injuries on Shushu Luli, Pei Anlan, and the other two had long since healed on their own.
Therefore, they did not get involved. They only showed up briefly before quietly slipping away. Pei Anlan returned to Lingxin Academy, while Shushu and Lu Li returned to Liuyue Sect first.
Of course, before returning to Liuyue Sect, Shushu also told Tiansuanzi about the jade slip that Tianjizi had asked them to bring back, as well as the fact that the treasure of Tianji Pavilion was on Tianjizi's person.
After happily accepting the gift from the fortune teller, Shushu and Lu Lifeng slipped away as fast as they could.
Upon returning to the Liuyue Sect, Shushu was greeted by Xuan Shen's booming voice, still crying so loudly that the entire sect knew about it; his lung capacity was astonishing.
After coaxing her for more than half a month, Xuan Shen finally forgave her. He then stayed in her courtyard and refused to leave no matter what anyone did.
There's nothing I can do; I've already adopted this son, so what else can I do but appease him?
Compared to her indulgence, Lu Li was not so happy, especially since the little black tortoise always had to interfere when he was with Shushu.
Unable to bear it any longer, Lu Li decided to exchange a drop of Xuanwu essence blood with Xuan Jing and gave it to Xuan Shen, sending it into seclusion.
After getting rid of the annoying brat, Lu Li then gradually sent all of Shushu's friends away.
They either send people into seclusion or trick them into going out on training with the sect's disciples.
When Shushu came to her senses, only the two of them were left beside her.
Meeting Lu Li's affectionate gaze, Shushu ultimately didn't say anything more, which was considered an admission of his actions.
However, since it was a sect after all, Shushu, as the eldest sister most loved by the children, was always inevitably visited by them.
After sending away the little brat once again, Lu Li finally couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed Shushu and ran outside, calling it an opportunity to gain experience.
Then, the two brothers and sisters began their journey outside. Together, they explored the entire Dawei area, from the inner, middle, and outer perimeters to every place they could call out.
After completing their journey through the Great Scale World, the two also visited the Middle Thousand World and the Lesser Thousand World. Whenever they encountered something they couldn't stand, they would lend a helping hand.
During this time, they encountered several people who tried to get close to each other and interfere in their relationship, but the two of them dealt with them decisively.
Their feelings for each other deepened over time. They didn't express their love verbally, but there was an unspoken understanding between them that no one could easily break into.
The two traveled for over two hundred years until they received a letter from Liu Yu and Shu Ye saying that they were about to ascend to immortality and urging them to return quickly. Only then did they stop their travels and begin their return journey.
Sure enough, not long after they returned, they were met with Shuye's ascension tribulation. As expected, they successfully passed through it and were guided to the Immortal Realm by celestial light.
Watching the millet leaves disappear into the air, neither the millet potato nor the millet chestnut, which was his son, felt much sorrow at parting, because they would soon reunite in the upper realm.
Over the years, due to occasional communication between the mortal realm and the immortal realm, Shushu and Luli, as well as their relationships with various races, have also informed the upper realm as divine beasts from various divine beast races have ascended to immortality.
The dragon, phoenix, black tortoise, qilin, white tiger and other divine beast clans have all extended olive branches to the treasure-hunting rat clan in the upper realm. Even Shushu's other master, Immortal Venerable Luofeng, has also made his position clear.
With these races as their backers, those who once coveted the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan had no choice but to restrain themselves, and the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan's situation finally became less precarious.
Before Shuye, several ancestors who had been suppressing their cultivation had ascended one after another, and the position of patriarch of the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan had now been passed on to Shufei.
It was originally meant for the millet or the sweet potato, but those two absolutely refused to accept it, so honest little mouse Shufei had to take its place.
Of course, this honesty only applies to his own clan. Shufei is very shrewd in dealing with outsiders and can shoulder the great responsibility of the treasure-hunting rat clan.
More than two hundred years have passed, and the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan has added a few more baby Treasure-Seeking Rats. Because the millet fused with chaotic energy in the incubation pool, the offspring were all born with innate skills.
After discussing the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan, let's move on to the Phoenix Clan and the Flowing Moon Sect.
Lu Li of the Phoenix Clan had already found the one with the strongest talent and bloodline among the direct descendants of the Great Elder to be the successor of the Feather Clan.
During the years that Lu Li and Shu Shu were away, the Feather Clan and the Phoenix Clan had been managing things for each other, and Lu Li was always ready to take over the position of Feather Clan Emperor.
As for the Liuyue Sect, the position of sect leader was passed on to Gu Borong.
His relationship with Xu Ruoyun finally blossomed, and they prepared to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate their joint marriage before Liu Yu and Liu Ying ascended to heaven.
The reason why they were in such a hurry to urge Shushu Luli to come back was for this reason.
