"Is it possible? Look at her devoted affection. When a woman can sacrifice her life for a man, she will never love another.
Xia Dayu, look at Ziyan. She slept for a thousand years, and after you awakened her, what now?
Originally, she had a false you accompanying her in her dreams. After you awakened her, she is still alone, enduring for fifty thousand years.
Isn't she also watching you and Xia Xiaoyu live happily every day, being intimate with each other?
This girl is exactly like Ziyan.
Just as devoted, just as unable to obtain love, just as bitter.
Yet she finds joy in bitterness, consoling herself that everything is fine.
Xia Dayu, do you deserve Ziyan?!"
After佘雨 finished speaking, she glared hatefully at Xia Dayu and, taking that wisp of true spirit of 祈曼瑶, disappeared directly.
Xia Dayu sighed, and after a moment, he gave an embarrassed smile and rubbed his nose.
"I know you and Ziyan are best friends, but you don't have to talk about me like that. I didn't want this, I didn't want this either. I gave her a choice."
Then, Xia Dayu's figure also disappeared directly.
In the sea of flowers, 万雷 sat on the ground like a statue, motionless, healing 方小雨.
He didn't rush to retrieve the token, even though he knew that even if he retrieved it, the Ghost Immortal would not allow him to complete the mission and leave while keeping 方小雨.
Nothing was as important as saving 方小雨.
He wanted to wake her up and tell her that their lives were exchanged for by a girl sacrificing her own.
He wanted to go to the altar with her and pick up the final token together.
This was the result of their journey, through countless life-and-death moments and joint efforts, not the credit of 万雷 alone.
Another day passed, and as 方小雨's injuries gradually healed, she finally woke up slowly.
Fang Xiaoyu opened her eyes and saw Wan Lei sitting beside her, his blood-stained face streaked with tears. She smiled weakly.
"Why are you crying? I'm not dead, are you? You saved me again."
However, she did not see the expected look of joy.
Wan Lei's gaze remained sorrowful, yet determined.
Fang Xiaoyu sensed something was wrong. She looked down and saw a white dress lying on Wan Lei's leg.
"This... this is..."
A bad premonition suddenly arose in Fang Xiaoyu's heart.
"It wasn't me who saved you, it was 祈曼瑶... who saved both of us."
"Where is she?"
Fang Xiaoyu immediately sat up, panic-stricken, and said,
"Did she..."
The word was too cruel for her to utter.
"睢小航 refined the Heavenly Dao Myriad Life Pill, and she brought the pill to the secret realm.
She used her mental power to search for us, but her physical body couldn't bear it and collapsed. Her soul came here and saved me, but she herself dissipated."
With just a few words, Fang Xiaoyu understood the tragedy within.
She could imagine how much determination 祈曼瑶 had at that moment, deciding to sacrifice herself to save them.
"祈曼瑶... she..."
Tears streamed down Fang Xiaoyu's face, and she sobbed uncontrollably.
"Don't cry. Let's avenge her first, and then we'll find a way to resurrect her.
The Ghost Immortal said that an Immortal Venerable can resurrect others. If the Immortal Venerable doesn't help us, then we'll cultivate ourselves to become Immortal Venerables and resurrect her."
"Yes, we must resurrect her, no matter what."
Fang Xiaoyu immediately nodded.
Wan Lei looked up and asked,
"Great Ghost Immortal, junior asks, how did she die? I don't believe she would have mental power for no reason and collapse her physical body. She must have comprehended mental power in her moment of greatest despair."
"It was people from the Huo family who killed her."
The Ghost Emperor had nothing to hide.
It was to give Wan Lei a direction for revenge, an outlet for his grief and indignation, and it was good for him.
"The Huo family? I understand. Thank you, sir."
Beneath Wan Lei's calm surface lay a towering rage.
He put away the white dress, took Fang Xiaoyu's hand, and walked towards the altar without a word.
They walked towards it like pilgrims.
Suppressing the sorrow of 祈曼瑶's departure, past memories surfaced in his mind.
In the dark world of the Wood Immortal Secret Realm, they sought light.
In the Golden Immortal Secret Realm, in the apocalypse, they depended on each other.
In the Water Immortal Secret Realm, amidst the purple rain apocalypse, they forged ahead.
In the Fire Immortal Secret Realm, in the world of flames, they comprehended the true meaning.
In the Earth Immortal Secret Realm, they were slapped out with a single palm and only received a single word: "Scram."
In the Ghost Immortal Secret Realm, memes ran rampant, bizarre and absurd, where he comprehended a wisp of Supreme Dao law. Demonic attacks ensued, and they shared hardships, ultimately falling side by side in the sea of flowers.
Finally, it was only through 祈曼瑶's sacrifice that they could reach this point.
Along this journey, through so many years of wind and rain, so many years of joy and sorrow, they had witnessed too much, experienced too much.
The two Foundation Establishment cultivators who once dueled at the Wan family had finally stood at the pinnacle of the world.
They had completed all the secret realms, and it was finally time to reap the final fruits.
"Thank you for being with me on this journey."
"I will always be with you."
They arrived at the altar and ascended the first step.
There was no pressure, no danger, no trials.
They had already passed all the missions.
They walked step by step onto the altar, and the token floated before them.
"Wan Lei, what do you think darkness is? You can choose to answer this question, and it's alright if you can't answer it. You have already passed the test."
"Darkness is light."
Wan Lei answered without hesitation.
"Why?"
"Without light, how can there be darkness? Without darkness, how can one know there is light?
When you are in darkness, without the contrast of light, how can you know you are in darkness?
In fact, even in the darkest world, as long as the light in your heart does not extinguish, you will become light and illuminate everything.
The darkest darkness I can imagine is not the darkness outside, but the darkness within people's hearts. It is precisely because that light exists that darkness can retreat.
And it is precisely because of darkness that that light appears so precious.
Everyone has darkness in their hearts, which makes it even more important to guard that light. If that light is gone, the heart will be consumed by darkness."
After speaking, Wan Lei ignored the Ghost Emperor and pulled Fang Xiaoyu forward. He patted his storage bag, and the five tokens flew out.
Six fan-shaped tokens floated before them, instantly merging into one, forming a complete disk.
Light, Rules, Destruction, Creation, Beginning, Darkness.
The six tokens were now unified.
A stream of light appeared from within the disk, splitting into two and entering their foreheads respectively.
A divine ability appeared in their minds.
