The man in green robes let out a low chuckle.
“What now? Did you suffer another setback in front of Chao Chao? Last time you came looking for me, a three-year-old Chao Chao stole the Immortal Peach and humiliated you in front of everyone.”
“In the vast Celestial Realm, not even you could contain a mere three-year-old child. Isn’t that laughable?”
“And today, she has once again left you displeased!” Zong Bai’s voice carried amusement, his tone unwavering.
He stood there, casually at ease, yet an innate air of dominance surrounded him.
“Even after being imprisoned and punished, you remain this stubborn. No wonder you are her senior disciple!” Han Chuan waved his hand, signaling for the young Celestial Lord behind him to withdraw.
“Zong Bai, you have cultivated for a thousand years just to become a god. You should understand how arduous the path of cultivation is…”
“Now, with the Monarch Emperor absent, if you reveal her whereabouts to me, I will let you and me rule the Three Realms together.”
“Why throw away your future for her?” Han Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed upon him.
Zong Bai’s expression remained indifferent, his brows barely shifting as a trace of disdain flickered in his eyes. “To rule Heaven and Earth is worth less to me than even a fraction of her existence.”
“She sacrificed herself for the Three Realms, perishing for the sake of all beings.”
“What harm is there in letting her live again? She has never wronged any of you! Why do you refuse to tolerate her?!” Zong Bai’s voice deepened in anger. If the Monarch Emperor were here, he would never allow such wanton tyranny!
Han Chuan’s eyes darkened.
As long as she lived, the Three Realms would always be beneath her shadow!
As long as she lived, the Glassy Pure Flower could never be cultivated, nor could the Six Purities Pill be refined!
As long as she lived, all gods who harbored desire would be banished to the mortal realm and forced to cultivate anew!
To have one’s cultivation abolished and start over—how could that be acceptable?
“Because of her alone, the entire Celestial Realm must suffer rebirth! This realm has no place for her!”
“Zong Bai, how long can you protect her?”
“Granting her luck, gifting her eyes, forsaking your divine status to search for her, nearly losing your soul in the process, and even opening the Gate of Time and Space countless times, shattering your own godhood! Was it worth it? Abandoning everything—was it worth it?” Han Chuan could no longer suppress his anger, his killing intent surfacing as he glared at Zong Bai.
Zong Bai’s face paled, his sword-like brows furrowing as droplets of blood dripped from his clenched palm.
“A person like you, who only lusts for power and has never known true devotion, how could you understand?”
“She is worth it. She is worth betraying everything, worth sacrificing my life, worth us paying any price!” He only wished for her to live.
Han Chuan let out a scornful laugh. “Very well, then. You are all so righteous.”
“Let’s see if she is truly worth it!”
“I will push the disciple she raised with her own hands onto the Execution Platform for Immortals, and we shall see whether she can still hide peacefully in the mortal realm!” Han Chuan flung his sleeves in fury and left.
Zong Bai abruptly raised his head, his expression dark and foreboding.
The young Celestial Lord smirked at him. “High God Zong Bai, defying the heavens for personal gain, forcibly resurrecting Sword Sovereign Sunshine—but without a heart, who is to say if she is righteous or evil?”
“War God Xing Hui has won countless victories for the Celestial Realm, yet he let his soul descend to the mortal world for her, nearly losing himself in the process.”
“High God Xian Ting, master of life itself, lost his eyes.”
“High God Chong Yue, deity of time and space, has shattered his godhood from opening the Gate of Time and Space too many times.”
“Goddess of Luck Sheng He, the favored child of the Heavenly Dao, bestowed all her fortune upon her.”
“God of Darkness Xuan Yu, once the commander of the Fiend Realm under the Celestial Realm, betrayed the gods and seized the Fiend Realm for himself.”
“High God Gan Tang cast aside his true form and descended to the mortal realm, never to return.”
“You seven High Gods have broken the divine laws and defied fate itself. If you are sentenced to the Execution Platform for Immortals, let’s see if your master comes!”
“I hear she is not even five years old now?”
“Hahaha!”
“Even as the Savior Deity, how could she possibly stand against the entire Celestial Realm…?” The young Celestial Lord left laughing wildly, knowing full well that the Seven Sins, who had already reincarnated, would make it impossible for Lu Chao Chao to overturn the heavens.
The gates of the Divine Prison slowly closed.
Thunder rumbled ominously as if nothing had ever happened.
At this moment, Lu Chao Chao stood outside, abruptly looking up at the sky.
“Chao Chao, what are you looking at?” Xie Yu Zhou had lit a fire inside the Matchmaker Temple, tidying the space enough for them to rest.
Chao Chao pursed her lips in confusion before shaking her head lightly.
“Grandmother, please eat something. A-Man will feed you…” A-Man’s voice trembled with suppressed sobs.
The old madam lay on a bed of dry grass. Ever since they had left the village, her condition had worsened.
She had been forcing herself to hold on these past days.
She had originally wanted to see A-Man married, but fate had turned cruel. And now, A-Man had to worry about her instead.
A-Man knew her grandmother did not have much time left. She feared she would not last much longer.
“A-Man, when I leave, follow him,” the old madam said, her voice knowing, her gaze far-seeing.
“He failed your mother. He has also wronged you. But his remorse will drive him to treat you well…”
“I know your nature, child. You see only black and white, never gray. But you are alone in this world. How could I rest in peace knowing that? Even in death, I would not be at ease.” She grasped A-Man’s hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Before they left the village, the villagers had pleaded with them to stay. But A-Man had refused.
That alone revealed the strength of her heart.
The old madam had always been out of place in this world, but her love for A-Man was sincere.
Tears welled in A-Man’s eyes. “In this world, only Grandmother has truly cared for me. Mother spent her life waiting for Father, while he spent ten thousand years cultivating—how much love could he have left?”
“His kindness stems from guilt.”
“The villagers begged us to stay, but only to seek protection from the very man who abandoned us.”
“Only Grandmother asks for nothing in return—only Grandmother loves me with a pure heart.”
“I would rather follow Chao Chao than go with him.”
The old madam was momentarily stunned before seeing Chao Chao smile gently at her, finally relaxing.
“Very well, very well, very well.”
“I am at peace. A-Man, with her, I am at peace.”
“Grandmother…” A-Man sobbed uncontrollably.
“Her lifespan is at its end. If she does not leave today, she never will. She does not belong to this world—the Underworld will not take her. There is no reincarnation for her,” Chao Chao whispered, causing A-Man to break down in tears.
“Grandmother, go home.”
