Chapter 484: Returned

Bai Wanqing rushed to the Star Ring Realm.

She prepared to fill the vacancy left by Tushan Hong Yi, to garrison that battlefield.

When she arrived, she was bewildered.

It was already desolate there, nothing left; the shadow lifeforms that once surged in that space had vanished.

Soon she received news, learning the cause and effect.

She also saw that figure returning from the far end of the battlefield, like a War God.

"Lin Chuan."

Bai Wanqing was dumbfounded, unable to imagine the other's growth, so rapid, like a miracle, soaring to the heavens, beyond all mortals.

"Aunt Qing."

Lin Chuan was still the same Lin Chuan, his smile unchanged; the title 'Aunt Qing' carried a weight that made Bai Wanqing feel a bit uneasy.

Is he really her future son‑in‑law?

"Aunt Qing, I'll leave this battlefield to you to guard; more shadow lifeforms will surely emerge later, and I'll rush to reinforce elsewhere."

Lin Chuan understood Bai Wanqing's shock and gave no further explanation.

Such matters cannot be fully explained.

No one knows that he has spent thousands of years honing himself in a dream‑cultivation space, accumulating countless cycles of dream reincarnation.

What the world sees is only his rise, like a miracle.

It is perfectly normal not to understand.

If he once worried, now he no longer needs anyone's understanding; he simply walks his own path.

No one dares to block him any longer!

"Alright."

Bai Wanqing snapped back to herself and nodded lightly.

"Aunt Qing, I'm leaving; I'll come back to Tushan to see you later."

Lin Chuan transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the distance.

"Young master, wait for me."

Lü Ya clasped her sword, chasing wildly from behind, absorbing the pure energy transformed from so much black mist; she felt not at all fatigued, only refreshed.

The two quickly arrived at another battlefield.

No words were needed.

Another slaughter began.

For the following period, Lin Chuan and Lü Ya raced across battlefields throughout the Star Ring Realm, their fame soaring, hailed as a War God.

Some beings even regarded him as the tenth Immortal.

Reputation sometimes needs no long sedimentation; once enough deeds are done, beings will revere you.

Lin Chuan's name echoed through heaven and earth.

……

Demon Abyss, the lowest level.

Born at the center of that world, the long‑sealed Pure World Hong Lian bloomed again with a woman's soft humming.

Mo Sangyu slowly rose from the lotus throne.

A hint of bewilderment flickered in her eyes, then turned chaotic; the fragmented memories whirled in her mind, gradually reassembling.

The intense pain was nothing compared to her current joy.

"I remember now."

"I'm back."

"Everything is back."

Mo Sangyu murmured to herself, recalling everything.

Ancient God, Human Ancestor, Creation, Human Race, Perfection Form, Sangyu Tree, Desperate Realm, Chuan, Yun Baobao, Fox Clan Empress, Chaos Flower, Black Mist…

Crossing the Starry Sky, seeking Chuan's True Spirit guidance, they arrived here.

She recalled every memory of that life.

Thus all matters fell into proper order.

"So that's it—Lin Chuan had already recalled those past events, merely waiting for us to recover, waiting for us to return."

In that moment, she felt compassion for Lin Chuan.

Alone, waiting in solitude.

"Hmph!"

Mo Sangyu, feeling aggrieved, said, "Does he want to shoulder everything alone again? What does he think of me? This time, I will definitely stand by his side."

Gazing at the ground awash with blooming Hong Lian flowers, Mo Sangyu wept alone.

In the center of the sea of flowers, a massive Sangyu Tree had grown at an unknown time, identical to the one in her memory, towering to the heavens, its shade covering the entire sea of flowers.

"Chuan, wait for me."

Mo Sangyu inhaled deeply; only at this moment did she truly master the Perfection Form.

With this cultivation holy ground, this opportunity, and the environment of this world, she was confident she could reach the Wangxian Realm in a short time.

Presumably, Lin Chuan is now also in the Wangxian Realm.

When that time comes, she wants to see what reason this man still has to fight alone, to bear everything by himself.

……

Cloud Kingdom.

Yun Zhi Yi sits in Star Moon Pavilion, her surrounding Qi fortune swirls like a dragon, converging on Yun Zhi Yi.

Star Moon Pavilion is the department that controls the circulation of Cloud Kingdom's Qi fortune.

The Princess trusts her greatly, appointing her to manage everything and even bestowing upon her the title of Side‑by‑Side King.

On the path of Qi fortune, Yun Zhi Yi is like a fish in water.

Yet as Yun Zhi Yi's cultivation deepens, Yun Zhi Yi often sees a strange destiny in the constellations, calling Yun Zhi Yi from the haze.

Until today, Yun Zhi Yi finally parts the layers of mist.

Yun Zhi Yi sees the destiny in the stars that has always attracted Yun Zhi Yi.

That is Yun Zhi Yi, another Yun Zhi Yi.

In that world, Yun Zhi Yi is the First Auspicious Cloud of the heavens, protected by endless Qi fortune, essentially the Qi fortune itself.

Yun Zhi Yi should have lived as long as the heavens, but Yun Zhi Yi developed mortal desires.

That was predestined in the void.

The rise of the Human Race attracted Yun Zhi Yi, leading Yun Zhi Yi to secretly protect the Human Race and also encounter Lin Chuan, the bearer of Human Race Fortune.

At first it was just playful curiosity, but Yun Zhi Yi was quickly drawn in, unable to extricate Yun Zhi Yi.

In the end, Yun Zhi Yi would not hesitate to oppose the Heavenly Tribulation for the sake of the Human Race.

Ultimately Yun Zhi Yi transformed into a CloudHeart, staying beside Lin Chuan, at which point Yun Zhi Yi thought everything was over.

Now Yun Zhi Yi knows that everything Yun Zhi Yi did was not in vain; sincere hearts returned sincere hearts, and Yun Zhi Yi still awaited a new life.

"A Chuan."

Yun Zhi Yi looks up at the sky, sensing the turmoil within the Star Ring Realm.

Yun Zhi Yi knows that A Chuan went there.

"You always try to bear everything alone; this time, whatever you say, we must do it together."

Yun Zhi Yi commands the surging Qi fortune.

Yun Zhi Yi's current realm is already high; if it were the original world, Yun Zhi Yi could ascend to Immortal in a single step, but this land is ultimately different.

Yun Zhi Yi still needs some time.

To go to the Star Ring Realm and fight side by side with A Chuan.

If Yun Zhi Yi is too weak, going there would only be a burden; Yun Zhi Yi hates that helpless feeling, and if Yun Zhi Yi would only drag A Chuan down, Yun Zhi Yi would rather not go.

"I can definitely do it."

Yun Zhi Yi takes a deep breath, "The Cloud Kingdom's Qi fortune is still insufficient; I must control more Qi fortune to reach the ultimate realm."

The Qi fortune of other super powers will not be lent to Yun Zhi Yi.

Yet Yun Zhi Yi knows clearly that this land now desperately needs someone to command Qi fortune and fill this gap.

Yun Zhi Yi can communicate with Heaven's Will.

"Give it a try."

Yun Zhi Yi attempts to resonate with Heaven's Will; Heaven's Will has no autonomous consciousness, only instinctual awareness, making communication difficult.

Yun Zhi Yi quickly discovers that this land is extremely peculiar.

Part of the dominion over this land's Qi fortune is not Heaven's Will, but a sentient spirit creature—the Pure World White Lotus Yun Zhi Yi once used for cultivation.

Even more surprising, the master of the Pure World White Lotus is A Chuan.

"It should be that when the heavens and earth had not yet truly formed, A Chuan influenced this land, creating this pattern."

Of course, there are even more complex factors.

Normally, Heaven's Will would not permit this, and would erase all traces.

However, there is no need to delve deeper into that.

Yun Zhi Yi's lips curl into a smile.

"Now it's much easier."
