Chapter 464: Yun Ling dies

It was only at this moment that Shen Qingli finally saw clearly that the face she had seen that day was actually very far from the true mother of A Jin.

She herself was far more beautiful than whatever form Lin Jun had taken, unlike any woman she had ever seen, gentle and graceful, with a divine radiance.

But Yun Ling was no longer corporeal; having escaped from Lin Jun's main vine, she fell before Di Jin and Shen Qingli, and thus also before Di Hao.

Even though his tears were streaked, Di Hao held back his longing and did not step forward, knowing that the person his wife most wanted to speak to right now was that brat.

But when Di Jin opened his eyes, he avoided Yun Ling's hand as it reached to touch his face.

That five‑colored yet transparent hand froze; Shen Qingli wanted to say something, but in the end she simply gripped Di Jin's hand tightly.

Only then did Di Hao step forward, saying, "Yun Ling, I'm sorry."

He knew full well that, given Di Jin's temperament, it was impossible to give his wife a pleasant expression.

But he also understood that the fault did not lie with this evil obstacle; it was his, and in fact also his wife's.

As parents, they had actually fulfilled none of their parental duties, so there was no need to force this familial bond.

Yet as a husband, he could also comprehend his wife's sorrow, wanting to comfort her, but not knowing where to begin, so he could only apologize.

"Wow!" Jiu Li's voice exclaimed in a childish tone, "Are you Lady Nüwa? Why don't you have a snake tail, and isn't your true form like that either?"

The awkwardness instantly vanished among the three members of the Di family, but shifted onto Shen Qingli: "Li Li!"

Upon hearing that, Jiu Li immediately leapt onto her leg, yet still gazed curiously at Nüwa, asking, "You really don't have a snake tail?"

"Can you just shut up!" Shen Qingli exclaimed, exasperated at having to answer seriously what a snake tail is for.

Nevertheless, Nüwa answered seriously, "I do."

"Wow! Wow!" Jiu Li's eyes filled with tiny stars as she said, "I told you! A Li, does your childhood husband have a snake tail? And will little Xiao Xiao Li also have one?"

This series of questions…

As Shen Qingli rubbed her forehead, she felt the little one in her belly seem to stir, as if checking for a tail.

This child, who had just emerged from the little fish embryo into a slightly humanoid form, was really… well, pretty adorable.

"I don't." Di Jin reached out and pinched the noisy little snack‑iron beast, finally getting it to roll its eyes and fall silent as he wished.

But that didn't count, for Jiu Li was already going "hueh" nonstop; Shen Qingli hurriedly rescued it into her arms, where it finally caught its breath, yet dared not gossip any further, cowering with its head tucked.

Nüwa gave a soft laugh, saying, "A Jin also has it, but you never actively triggered it, nor did I ever teach you how to activate this power, so you are unaware. According to my plan, you won't remember me,"

Having said that, she paused and then added ruefully, "You weren't even supposed to come, but since you did, it's fine; I'm sorry I didn't achieve the state I had planned."

"Yun Ling,"

"Let me finish first."

Nüwa cut off Di Hao's words.

She turned her head to look at the black vines that spread throughout the universe, lurking in the darkness.

Her voice was full of self‑mockery: "I was too arrogant; I underestimated it, failing not only to seal it but also suffering a backlash. Even after I forcibly sealed myself, I still couldn't change the outcome.

If you hadn't arrived, this fragment of my consciousness would have been completely erased once it fully revived. So don't think of using it; the moment you do, you've already fallen into its trap. Destroy it, without hesitation.

The words fell.

The five‑colored flowing light faded away.

"Yun Ling!"

Di Hao shouted loudly!

Nüwa turned her head again, her face now less distinct than before.

But this time, she reached out to caress her husband's face as she always had.

In fact, she had many things she wanted to say and many things she still wanted to do, but she had already burned out her oil and exhausted her wick.

In the eternal darkness and endless backlash, all she had ever seen was despair, despair, and more despair.

If it weren't for the child's arrival, which stirred her last lingering obsession, she could not have "revived" even this much.

It was like a dying flame's final flicker…

That was enough.

"Take care of yourself."

Nüwa once again spoke the farewell words from that time.

But this time, Di Hao did not respond.

"Rest assured, I will kill it and follow you."

Nüwa's face had become blurred, and no one could tell whether she was shedding tears.

Yet from the fact that she was clearly dissipating while still striving to surround Di Hao with colored light, she was undoubtedly feeling pity and reluctance.

Di Jin watched her like that, saying nothing, but his tight grip on Shen Qingli's hand showed he was not entirely unmoved.

Only then did Shen Qingli speak, "Mother, rest assured, we know what to do."

Nüwa seemed to be looking at her, and this time Di Jin finally spoke, "Stay alive."

But can we actually survive? No.

The five‑colored flowing light was completely spent, and the universe sank back into darkness.

That warm rush lasted only this brief moment.

It also made Shen Qingli understand that Lin Jun was not so easy to control, even when it was half‑dead.

"If that's the case, then kill it." Di Jin broke the silence, "As for Chaos, we'll settle it another day."

"I'll do it." Di Hao stepped forward, "I'll see her off, and also—"

He didn't finish his sentence before Di Jin yanked him back, saying, "Do you even know how to kill it properly? You're coming just because? Didn't you hear her say—"

"Take good care of yourself?" You also said, a divine being like her isn't easy to wipe out completely—do you want her to go find some other old guy?"

"I—" Di Hao had many things he wanted to curse, but didn't know where to start; without a doubt, Di Jin's final words struck him right in the heart, leaving him truly unable to resolutely go to his death.

He was so angry he felt like his lotus‑like body might explode…

How could there be a hindrance so infuriating!

And Di Jin, having just finished angering his father, also looked at Shen Qingli without any wasted words.

Shen Qingli had already pulled him toward the 'above' of the Three Pure World, and no longer considered any other possibilities.

How powerful Nüwa is! In that very instant when she had just recovered, Shen Qingli clearly sensed it.

She is that resolute! It shows the Qilin Lord is indeed not easy to control, so abandon fantasies and fight decisively.

"Come." Shen Qingli took the lead in activating divine power.

This time, holding nothing back! The universe trembled, stars surged.

"Come." Di Jin, with his eyes closed, followed suit.

In the dim darkness, light gathered, like a rainbow glow, like flowing light.

From the Three Pure World! Also originating from the stars in all directions, unprecedentedly brilliant.

The primordial yin-yang source power of the Taiji burst forth explosively; the entire universe, the Dao resonance was distant.

Jiu Li sat down then, his whole body at this moment breathing together with that yin-yang source power, vibrating in sync.

"Kill!"

The young couple spoke in unison at that instant!

Both pairs of eyes opened simultaneously.

Ultimate sharp light!

Accompanied by the most primordial power at the birth of the universe, it obliterated all directions.

There was no obstruction whatsoever!

Nor was there any power that could obstruct!

"Crack."

"Crack crack..."

The Qilin Lord's vines were all obliterated and dissipated.

Even those 'filaments' hidden throughout the world could not escape!

This is a great cleansing! It will not mistakenly harm any other living beings in the Three Pure Universe.

Because the Qilin Lord is an external entity! And Shen Qingli and Di Jin are like the self-awakened immunity of the Three Pure Universe, carrying out a massive purge against it.

However, during this purge process! Not a trace of resistance from the Qilin Lord appeared?

Shen Qingli's consciousness searched deeply, yet could not find any trace of the Qilin Lord's aura in the universe, the Three Pure World?

Cooperating with her, and also the Di Jin who guided her, discovered: 'Within the Heavenly God Clan, it seems they have been utterly slaughtered.'
