"Azure Scales have lost contact..."
"It seems we need to speed things up. Every second they die later means one more second of alone time together."
The man raised his glass: "Then what are we waiting for? Cheers!"
That night, ten handsome men stormed into the Heavenly Palace, but Cang Lin had already left...
……………
Royal Palace
After Leng Qingning and the other rulers "died," it took everyone a long time to recover. As they went about their duties, life seemed to return to normal.
But everyone has secretly wiped away tears in the dead of night, still missing their father and mother in their hearts.
Ji Heng was always depressed. He came to this place because of Leng Qingning, but Leng Qingning left before him. Without his spiritual support, his body suddenly collapsed and deteriorated.
On the day he passed away, eleven divine souls quietly descended above the palace.
A gentle breeze swept by, and as if sensing something, he reached out and grasped at the air. The children asked him if he had any unfulfilled wishes, and he simply pursed his lips and said, "Ningning... I'm here..."
Amidst the weeping of his many children, Ji Heng closed his eyes with regret, passing away to follow his beloved.
It was at this moment that Leng Qingning decisively took action.
She gently conjured a wisp of divine power to lock Ji Heng's soul, and then cast a spell to elevate his soul to the level of a spirit. This process lasted less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
When Ji Heng opened his eyes again, he saw his lover and his other brothers floating in the air, and they all looked to be in their early twenties.
He was deeply shocked, and his body swayed involuntarily. Only then did he realize that he was also suspended in mid-air. Even more strangely, he could see the scene inside the palace through the roof tiles.
He saw another version of himself who had died, and he could also hear the children crying clearly.
He stared in disbelief: "This..."
Shocked, the ten young men exclaimed in unison, "Welcome back, my good brothers."
After everyone explained, he finally understood everything; his lover was actually a goddess!
He even became the reclusive Heavenly Dao Master...
She expended her divine power to refine her human soul into a spiritual essence, forcibly extending her life by 100,000 years...
Ji Heng wept with joy, knowing that he would be able to stay by her side forever.
For a god, a lifespan of 100,000 years is not long, but for him, it is enough!
And this was the maximum that Leng Qingning could do for him.
…………
The world changes, clouds roll and unroll.
Leng Qingning often sends her divine consciousness to the divine realm to accompany Master Xiao Ning and the others. The couple also frequently use their divine consciousness to visit their children and grandchildren in various places.
Children sometimes seem to sense something; they always feel that their parents are right beside them and have never left, only they can't see them with the naked eye.
On this day, as the couple's consciousness returned to its proper place, the celestial clock sounded a warning.
A new god is about to be born!
Leng Qingning smiled knowingly: "It seems that Senior Brother has succeeded."
Wen Yanche knew her thoughts: "My wife, how about we make a trip to Kongmen Mountain?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking."
Kongmen Mountain —
More than a dozen deities descended upon the mountain gate, their invisible pressure sweeping across the land.
Disciples at the Immortal Cultivation Realm or above sensed it immediately and rushed to the back mountain to greet them.
"This disciple pays respects to the Lord of Heaven, to all the Creators, and to the Lord of Creation."
That's right, Cang Lin has come too.
Leng Qingning raised her hand with a gentle expression, indicating, "Disciples of the immortals, please rise."
"No need for formalities," Cang Lin said calmly.
Then, when he turned to Leng Qingning, his expression changed instantly, a smile appearing at the corners of his eyes, and he greeted her in a gentle tone: "Qingning, what a coincidence, you're here too."
Cang Lin had guessed she would come, which is why he made a special trip.
"Yes, what a coincidence." Leng Qingning nodded with a smile, finding it amusing to herself.
"Tch," Chi Yan chuckled and scoffed, as if he had already seen through it all.
"Cough cough...cough..." Cang Yuan's throat was also not very comfortable.
The other young men also saw through the situation but didn't say anything, just smiled at each other and stopped talking.
Today's focus is on the newly ascended deity. After the gods have exhausted their energy, they land and await the ascension of the new deity.
As night fell, all the inner disciples gathered at the back mountain to witness the birth of a new god together with the Heavenly Dao Master and the Creator God.
After an incense stick's time, a dazzling light shone upon the earth, instantly obscuring and replacing the dark night sky, making it as bright as day.
An elderly man with white hair and an air of otherworldly grace slowly ascended into the sky, surrounded by a halo of light that accentuated his ethereal and jade-like appearance.
Leng Qingning looked up and saw that although her senior brother's appearance had aged after many years, his demeanor was even more impressive than before.
With a slight thought, she instantly appeared opposite Kong Xuanzi, smiling as she congratulated him: "Senior brother, congratulations on your ascension to godhood."
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuanzi looked up in surprise, his aged face full of smiles, "Junior Sister, you've come?"
He then sensed the other party's divine authority, and was slightly surprised for a moment, but did not ask any further questions.
There are many different positions for deities, and serving in the Heavenly Path might be a good choice, as it offers more freedom compared to other options.
Leng Qingning nodded: "Of course I have to come and see you off as you ascend to immortality, Senior Brother. You are truly remarkable." She sincerely praised him.
Kong Xuanzi smiled and shook his head: "Not at all, I have only comprehended the true meaning of the Path of Ruthlessness."
He looked at his disciples and said, "The Path of Ruthlessness is not the absence of true feelings, but rather the arising of great love from the heart, encompassing small love with great love, embracing all things equally, and treating all things with a clear distinction between public and private matters and with reason."
After he finished speaking, the disciples below seemed to be deep in thought.
Leng Qingning said with a look of relief, "Xiao Ning also said this. The Path of Ruthlessness is not about severing emotions and love, but about having a heart full of love that embraces all things. Senior Brother has attained enlightenment and become a god, finally achieving perfection. I wish you and Xiao Ning will soon achieve your goal."
