Receiving this answer, Ya Li said nothing. She simply stepped forward, hugged Yun Ming tightly, and whispered softly.
"Come back soon, I'll be waiting for you at home."
What the matter was, where he was going, when he would return—Ya Li asked none of these things. Since Yun Ming had told her nothing, it meant this was likely something she was not meant to know; there was no need for her to ask further.
Yun Ming wrapped his arms around Ya Li's waist, holding her gently but firmly, and replied with a warm yet resolute tone.
"Alright, I will return as soon as I have handled everything."
After a final, light kiss, Yun Ming released his beloved, turned, and stepped into his final journey.
World of Nothingness
The Creation God sensed the entrance opening. Countless starlight converged into a shape, and the black-robed Yun Ming appeared once more.
"Is it finally time to begin?"
He looked at Yun Ming and asked in a low voice, his face flushed, his eyes bright. The excitement was clearly something that even an extraordinary state of mind, honed by witnessing the myriad phenomena of the world for countless years, could not suppress.
Yun Ming glanced at the Creation God, let out a long breath, and steadied his mind.
"Yes, it has begun."
He raised his right hand, and a long spear, radiating a white-hot glow with a shaft that looked like transparent crystal, appeared.
After many years, the Atlas Spear had finally emerged once again!
Seeing Yun Ming summon the Atlas, the Creation God ceased his questioning, not wanting to disturb him, and waited quietly for the final result. Yun Ming closed his eyes and began his final preparations.
When Yun Ming opened his eyes again, a terrifying nine-colored radiance erupted suddenly, and a dazzling World Flower bloomed above his head. The moment the flower opened, the Creation God felt as if everything around him had come to a standstill; the void, time, and even his own thoughts were suppressed for a moment.
How could he be this strong? After regaining his senses, the Creation God was filled with shock; he found it hard to understand. It had only been thirty years since Yun Ming became a god, so how could he have grown so fast? This insight into the origin of the world surpassed even his own eons of contemplation! As for his own past... well, he had no past. The moment of his birth was his peak, and also the final moment of his true existence.
In truth, if Yun Ming had the time to enlighten him, he would have said: if the Creation God had managed to survive, his own rate of improvement would not have been slower than Yun Ming's. Participating in the perfection of the world was the best form of cultivation; the Creation God had left too early and missed out on this benefit.
With his momentum fully gathered, the nine colors in the depths of Yun Ming's eyes swirled into chaos. His right hand merged with the Atlas Spear, which was now shrouded in dense Chaos Qi.
Locking his gaze onto the dimensional barrier in the latter half of the World of Nothingness, Yun Ming raised his right arm and focused his intent.
Atlas, Severing Boundary!
He then slashed forward with all his might. A blazing, brilliant rift of light spread out, dividing the entire World of Nothingness in two, intending to split this universe wide open.
If the technique "Severing Boundary" had never actually severed a boundary, it would have been somewhat of a misnomer. But now was the moment to justify its name!!!
The rift continued to spread. The World of Nothingness, which had existed since the Creation God first opened the heavens, welcomed an expansion once more. As for the result of this transcendence, no one knew, but the Life Ancient Tree in the God Realm seemed to sense it; its branches swayed uncontrollably, rustling loudly!
Sun Moon Federation Era, North Pole Land, Battlefield of the Holy War
Tang Wulin saw the resolute smile on Ya Li's face and couldn't help but scream.
"Mom!"
Ya Li shook her head gently at him, then raised her hand and pointed at him. The next instant, a brilliant radiance surged from the Holy Spirit Douluo!
That blinding Holy Light instantly illuminated the nine-grid space she occupied, turning it into an intensely white-hot color. She and her Four-Word Battle Armor ignited instantly, exploding with the most intense Holy Light flames, sweeping toward the Ghost Emperor.
The Ghost Emperor let out a strange shriek.
"You're insane! Are you really going to burn even your own soul away?"
He had considered what Ya Li might do, and he had thought about how she might seek crazy revenge, but he had never expected the Holy Spirit Douluo to be this determined. The moment those flames ignited, her body, soul, and Battle Armor were completely consumed. That terrifying fire of Holy Light had transformed into the purest Purification Power in the world, sweeping madly toward the Ghost Emperor.
Pink and white flames swallowed the world, engulfing the figures of both sides.
The two flames burned against each other, neither yielding, but eventually, a victor was decided.
Although the holy had a clear suppression over the evil, in terms of total energy, Ya Li was ultimately inferior to the Ghost Emperor.
The pink flames gradually gained the upper hand, while the white-hot flames slowly faded. As one grew and the other waned, the fire within the grid gradually weakened.
Tang Wulin's heart sank rapidly to the bottom. He understood what this meant, and even if he wanted to intervene now, it was already too late!
How could it end like this? Tang Wulin closed his eyes in agony. It's over, Mom...
"Holy Spirit Douluo, do you think that by burning everything, including your soul, you can burn me to death? Even if you are a quasi-god, you don't have that chance. This set of Four-Word Battle Armor, which I forged by fusing my own bones into it, is unique in all the world. In the end, it is you who will die. You won't have the chance to reunite with your dead husband; your soul has already been scorched, and you can only wail in agony under my death flames. Cackle, cackle, cackle!"
The Ghost Emperor laughed hysterically, as if venting his emotions.
But before Tang Wulin could lunge forward, the situation changed again.
A point of white light suddenly appeared in the void, shrouded in an emerald green glow. That emerald green was not the death flames of the Ghost Emperor, but a vibrant, life-giving aura. The next instant, a figure broke free from that white light and appeared gracefully before the Ghost Emperor—was it not the Holy Spirit Douluo, Ya Li?
Compared to before, her body seemed slightly more ethereal, not quite solid, but it was gradually becoming substantial. Her Four-Word Battle Armor had disappeared, yet her physical form remained. A mocking smile filled her pretty face.
"Keep laughing, why don't you?" Ya Li said coldly.
The Ghost Emperor looked as if he had truly seen a ghost, exclaiming in horror: "You—how can you not be dead? Your soul was already burning!"
Ya Li said calmly: "I have saved countless lives in my time; do you really think I lack the ability to resurrect myself? I admit, in a one-on-one fight, I am indeed no match for you. Brother Ming couldn't kill you back then, let alone me. The pity is that you were too clever for your own good, trapping yourself and me in such a small grid. In this confined space, it is the only chance I have to kill you. Because you have nowhere to run."
As she spoke, blinding flames rose from her body once again. That dazzling holy fire exploded, carrying an unparalleled, magnificent momentum, and swept toward the Ghost Emperor once more, covering the sky and earth.
If the cultivation isn't enough, and one time isn't enough, then she would simply do it again.
"..."
The Holy Light gradually subsided, and the green flames weakened significantly as well. When the giant skull was revealed once more to everyone's gaze, nearly half of it had completely collapsed. The Ghost Emperor reappeared on top of the skull, his own body much more battered. The luster on his bones had also become incredibly dim. The Ghost Emperor had withstood Ya Li's desperate explosion for the second time.
Is it over? Ghost Emperor lowered his head, the ghost fire in his eyes flickering weakly. He looked at his shattered body; his origin had been damaged, and even his soul had suffered significant trauma. He didn't know how many years it would take to recover, and the dream of becoming a god that he had always cherished was now completely extinguished by the burning of the Holy Fire. Yet, a familiar scene appeared once more: a point of white light lit up before him again.
One Holy Spirit Douluo burning herself was not enough to break this quasi-god, but what if there were three? No matter how strong Ghost Emperor was, in this confined space, he had no chance to dodge. The life-burning of three quasi-gods, combined with the powerful Purification Power, left him with nowhere to hide. In the end, he completely collapsed.
This time, the burning was very brief. It seemed that after only a few seconds, the white light faded away, but Ghost Emperor did not even leave behind a single bone fragment. Even his soul had been thoroughly purified within those white flames.
Seeing that Ghost Emperor had finally died by her hand, Ya Li's final obsession was laid to rest. She looked up at the sky, as if gazing at the man branded deep within her soul.
"Brother Ming, I'm coming."
As she spoke, her soul began to dissipate.
"Mom—"
Tang Wulin watched Ya Li's soul fading away and called out with a trembling voice, but he was currently surrounded by powerful enemies and could do nothing.
"Silly child, don't be sad. Brother Ming and I can finally be reunited."
"Having avenged him, I am satisfied. Everything else is left to you."
Tang Wulin's body trembled slightly, his lips pressed tightly together to keep himself from shedding tears. Although he knew someone would surely die today, seeing his closest kin pass away was still unbearable grief.
Just as Ya Li's soul was about to vanish completely, the sky changed! A boundless void rift suddenly appeared in the air, and terrifying nine-colored divine light illuminated the world!
At this moment, the divine might was like a prison, and the world was in panic!!!
Whether it was the Sun Moon Federation or the Abyss Plane, everyone felt that disaster was imminent and that a great terror had descended upon the Human World!
On the Sun Moon Federation side, Tang Wulin and the others were merely at the mortal realm; they couldn't even make a sound, barely holding on under the pressure.
As for the Abyss side.
"Who goes there?!!"
Sensing a life-and-death crisis, Abyss Sage King could no longer sit still. He emerged wielding the Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd, preparing for battle.
The newcomer had crystal-clear, glistening white hair, fair skin, and a handsome face. A pair of black eyes lacked white pupils, appearing as deep as the abyss itself. His fingers were slender, and a black robe covered his entire body. The thick shoulder collars flared outward, and a massive black cloak trailed behind him, seemingly endless.
He pointed his long halberd toward the sky, and darkness immediately descended. A deep purple sun slowly Ascend, as if trying to seize control of the world back from the nine-colored divine light.
"How noisy!"
After the newcomer held onto the last wisp of Ya Li's soul, he glanced coldly at the Abyss Sage King, who was jumping about so happily, and let out a cold snort.
In an instant, the nine-colored divine light erupted, and an unimaginably terrifying power swept across the heavens and earth, tearing the dark magic sun apart in a blink.
"Pfft—"
With his divine projection shattered, Abyss Sage King spat out a mouthful of purple blood.
"Ho... how is this possible!"
Under the counterattack of the newcomer's terrifying power, Abyss Sage King felt as if his cultivation, which he was so proud of, was fake. He had absolutely no power to resist.
"Cough, cough—!"
"Who exactly are you?!!"
After coughing up several more mouthfuls of blood, Abyss Sage King finally recovered. He no longer possessed his previous dashing demeanor, staring at the blurry figure in the sky with disheveled hair.
The newcomer did not answer, only slowly walking out of the range of the divine light. At this moment, everyone finally realized who the visitor was!
'Pavilion Master!!!'
'Teacher!!!'
'Yun Ming!!!'
Under the unbridled, terrifying power of Yun Ming, the Shrek Academy members, old friends, and old enemies could not speak, but their hearts were surging with massive waves. They did not understand how someone who had been dead for many years and was invincible under the heavens could return, and with such earth-shattering power.
Yun Ming swept his gaze over the faces of the crowd, each showing different emotions, and greeted them.
"Long time no see."
It wasn't just Tang Wulin and the others whose emotions were stirred; Yun Ming felt the same, though most of the people he cared about were no longer there.
Then, seeing the nervous Abyss Sage King and the evil of the Holy Spirit Church, he suppressed his stirred emotions.
"The moment I arrive, I see filthy things. How unlucky!"
After these words, he didn't give Abyss Sage King a chance to reply. He raised his finger to the sky, and a phantom of the Atlas Spear rapidly condensed in the Skyline, the tip pointing directly at Abyss Sage King and the Abyss Plane!
Seeing Yun Ming strike without a word, Abyss Sage King's face turned pale in an instant. But given the decisiveness of Yun Ming's actions, there was clearly no room for negotiation. The only way forward was to fight to the death.
"Abyss Schism!"
Abyss Sage King shouted loudly. Aside from the original first layer, all other layers of the Abyss Plane began to disintegrate, turning into energy and merging into the Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd.
"Ah—"
"No—"
"..."
As the Abyss suffered Annihilation, the emperors under Abyss Sage King's command also screamed incessantly, dying on the spot and turning into energy to return to their Sage King.
With so much energy pouring in, Abyss Sage King's aura surged violently. Originally only at the half-step God King realm, he now showed signs of crossing that final half-step, and the Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd in his hand seemed to be activated, erupting with unprecedented ferocity.
Seeing that the power in his hand had accumulated to the limit, Abyss Sage King did not hesitate. He gripped the divine halberd tightly and threw it fiercely at Yun Ming!
"Abyss Godslaying Break!"
A single strike of the halberd, and all things shatter. The Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd shot out like lightning, carrying the power of the entire plane, locking onto Yun Ming with an aura of total annihilation.
Yun Ming did not react to the Abyss Sage King's desperate counterattack, even though the strike had reached the level of a God King. He raised his hand and waved it; the projection of the Atlas Spear above his head transformed into a Nine-Colored Heavenly Sun, blooming with blinding divine light as it descended toward the 'Purple Lightning'.
Atlas, Sun Shooting Light!
The Abyss Sage King watched as the Purple Lightning pierced into the Heavenly Sun, but before he could see the final result, the Sun Shooting Light had already filled his entire field of vision!
'No, no, no, no--'
Seeing the attack imminent, the Abyss Sage King roared internally. He wanted to dodge, but he had poured all his divine power into that final, desperate strike; he could no longer move!
"Ah--"
The Sun Shooting Light struck the Abyss Sage King, and his flesh, blood, and soul were instantly swallowed, turning into nothingness. In the final moments of his life, he heard the ultimate outcome: a sound of breaking.
After exterminating the Abyss Sage King, the Sun Shooting Light struck directly at the final core of the Abyss Plane.
"Boom--"
A thunderous sound that shook the world erupted in the far north of the planet, audible even in the far south of the continent.
Inside Shrek Academy, a young man heard the sound, looked toward the north, and witnessed a sight he would never forget for the rest of his life.
The sky had collapsed!
The scene was so vast that he was left speechless. He wanted to ask his teacher what kind of soul skill could produce such an effect, and then he saw his teacher standing there, dumbfounded. To be precise, it wasn't just his teacher; everyone was stunned.
If Shrek Academy, located in the center of the continent, was like this, then the people of the Sun Moon Federation near the far north were even more so. The moment they saw the abyss being destroyed, they felt their burdens lift, but they also wailed in their hearts.
'My life is over!'
Then, they saw another earth-shattering scene. Yun Ming held his hand out in a void-grasp, and a nine-colored barrier shot into the sky, directly absorbing all the shockwaves. Although they were still hit by the terrifying noise and their heads were buzzing, none of them were in mortal danger. Of course, that excluded the members of the Holy Spirit Church.
When the shockwaves dissipated, apart from the black hole in the sky, almost everything related to the abyss had vanished, leaving only the suppressed Abyss Origin Energy in Yun Ming's hand.
Everything ended. Yun Ming withdrew his divine power and released his restriction on the crowd.
The Shrek Academy group led by Tang Wulin hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master!"
Others, including the higher-ups of the Tang Sect, the War God Hall, and the federal legions, also rushed to pay their respects.
"Greetings, Lord Atlas Corona!"
They had originally wanted to call him "Your Excellency," but seeing Yun Ming "pacify" the abyss with a single hand, they swallowed the words back in a hurry.
"No need for formalities!"
Seeing familiar old faces like Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin, as well as young ones like Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, Yun Ming's expression softened, and he told them to rise.
"I am very happy to see that you are all still alive," Yun Ming said, smiling at them.
Seeing that Yun Ming was still the same as before, the great Limit Douluos like Zang Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Dezhi spoke up.
"This is all thanks to you! Otherwise, I fear we would all have died in battle today."
Yun Ming shook his head with a smile.
"Perhaps! It is enough that you are not dead. Besides, even if you had died, it would not have mattered; resurrection is possible."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, and a pitch-black Gate of the Ghost King rose from the earth. The gate opened, dark clouds obscured the sun, and figures walked out from within, led by Chen Xinjie, Guan Yue, and Long Yeyue.
Seeing the departed return, the coalition forces were stunned. And the former dead, seeing their old friends, were equally bewildered.
"Pavilion Master, they... they have been resurrected?!!"
Sensing the vibrant life force of the group, Le Zhengyu called out in disbelief.
Yun Ming replied: "Yes."
Yun Ming's voice was not loud, but everyone present had high cultivation levels, so they heard him clearly. They immediately understood the situation and were ecstatic.
Guan Yue, Long Yeyue, and the others were also shocked to see Yun Ming.
"Senior Brother, aren't you...?" Guan Yue asked in confusion, and the others listened intently.
Yun Ming replied calmly.
"I didn't die completely back then. My soul was swept away by a space-time turbulence, and I was lucky enough to escape with my life."
He said it, but not entirely; it was a bit of a deception. The crowd assumed it was because of the public setting and thought nothing more of it. Only Guan Yue, who understood his senior brother well, sensed something. But he didn't ask further; that wasn't his personality.
"It's good that you're alive," Guan Yue concluded.
After Guan Yue finished speaking, Tang Wulin wanted to ask something, but before he could open his mouth, Yun Ming sensed something, frowned, and shouted.
"Since you are awake, come out!"
As soon as Yun Ming said this, everyone became extremely nervous. Could there be another powerful enemy! But the subsequent development of events was beyond their expectations.
The Trident mark on Tang Wulin's forehead flickered, and a blue-gold light figure stepped out from it.
"Each generation produces its own talents! I never expected that in the absence of the God Realm, our Shrek Academy could still produce such a peerless genius like this young friend!"
When the Limit Douluos saw this person's appearance, they felt as if their brains had been struck by lightning. They had truly learned something new today; the Sea God had descended! The members of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were incredibly excited, their eyes brimming with tears. They felt a sense of having seen their distant ancestor today, and they would have no regrets even if they died.
Yun Ming looked at the Divine Sense avatar of Tang San without much reaction. Now that the filter had shattered, he truly could not appreciate the other party's performance.
Ignoring Tang San, Yun Ming looked toward a space not far away and spoke.
"You two should come out as well; what is the point of hiding?"
Seeing Yun Ming treat him as if he were nothing, a flicker of gravity crossed the depths of Tang San's eyes. The situation was a bit off; this person seemed completely indifferent to him. Had he not served as the Sea God Pavilion Master? How could this be? On the other side, Tang Hao and Ah Yin, having been seen through by Yun Ming, also furrowed their brows. The atmosphere was not right!
Yun Ming had already sensed them, so there was no point in hiding further. After a ripple in space, the two stepped out.
"Kid, your skills are tough, and your temper is just as tough. I like it!" Tang Hao remarked aloud.
"Many thanks to this young friend for saving the living beings of the continent and preventing a catastrophe!" Ah Yin thanked him politely.
Hearing his mother's words, Tang San followed suit with praise.
"For Shrek Academy to have a Pavilion Master like you is the fortune of Shrek, and the fortune of the continent!"
Others did not recognize Tang Hao and Ah Yin, but hearing their words, they understood they were likely allies and lowered their guard. However, out of the blue, Yun Ming's next sentence struck them like a thunderbolt.
Yun Ming said coldly to Tang San.
"I don't know if I am the fortune of Shrek, but Shrek having you is quite unfortunate."
Once these words were spoken, the scene fell silent. They had not expected such a reversal; the previous generation's Pavilion Master of Shrek and the legend of the academy were clashing? Tang Hao and Ah Yin's expressions also changed.
The people of Shrek were stunned, while the people of the Tang Sect were burning with rage.
Zang Xin shouted in reprimand.
"Yun Ming, you are presumptuous! How can you be so disrespectful to Lord Sea God!"
With the lead taken, others who held deep love for the Sea God also spoke out loudly.
Chen Xinjie: "Yun Ming, watch your words!"
Long Yeyue: "Yun Ming, stop spouting nonsense!"
"."
In an instant, the condemnations came like a tidal wave.
Yun Ming knew that Tang San had extremely high prestige on the continent, but he had not expected it to reach such a level. Not to mention the juniors, many of whom he had good relations with, and many of the people he had just saved, began to lash out at him on the spot—this was something he had not anticipated.
Tang San ignored the other Limit Douluos and looked at Yun Ming with a serious expression.
"Junior, it seems you have a deep misunderstanding of me!"
Yun Ming was not annoyed by the crowd, as they did not know the truth. Turning his gaze back to Tang San, Yun Ming spoke calmly.
"There is no misunderstanding, only understanding."
Tang San frowned. What did that mean? He understood him?!!
"And as for the facts, let's just take a look."
As he finished speaking, Nine-Colored Divine Power ignited in Yun Ming's palm, and he reached toward Tang San.
Seeing that Yun Ming actually dared to make a move against Him, Tang San confirmed Yun Ming's stance: this was an enemy. He struck back with a backhand, and surging Ocean Divine Power gathered in his palm as he unleashed a strike.
"Junior, you have crossed the line!"
Seeing this palm strike, with its rolling waves and boundless power, Yun Ming felt it was stronger than Poseidon, but that was all it was.
"If your true body were here, you might be able to trade a few blows with me, but a mere strand of Divine Sense! You are simply overestimating yourself!"
As he finished speaking, terrifying, heaven-reaching divine might appeared once again, and the heaven and earth of the Far North bowed once more under Yun Ming. Mortals prostrated, unable to rise again.
Previously, Yun Ming had been targeting the Abyss Sage King, so his aura was restrained, and Tang San had not perceived it clearly. Now that he had become the target, he suddenly realized that this junior was simply unreasonably strong.
"Bang--"
With just one palm, the Sea God's divine power was broken, and Tang San's Divine Sense was captured.
"Little San!!!"
Seeing his son captured, Tang Hao and Ah Yin launched a fierce attack.
Large, massive clusters of seven-colored halos appeared out of thin air and condensed into shape. Finally, they transformed into a giant seven-colored hammer that descended from the sky. Endless life force condensed into a net and swept toward Yun Ming as well.
Seeing this, Yun Ming pressed down with his other palm. A rainbow of light fell from the skyline, shattering the hammer and tearing the net; the two were suppressed as well.
Glancing at their abilities, Yun Ming mocked Tang San.
"Lord of the Plane, Life Core—you really are a filial son! Do you truly think Douluo Star is the private property of your Tang Family?"
Tang San's Divine Sense was filled with grief and indignation, but trapped by another, he was powerless.
"Junior, what exactly are you trying to do!"
Yun Ming said casually.
"I said, let's look at the facts."
The light in his palm shifted, invading Tang San's Divine Sense. Seeing this, Tang San's expression changed drastically. If this were seen by others, his reputation would be ruined, and his twenty-thousand-year plan would be destroyed in an instant!
"Stop"
Tang San wanted to resist, but as a mere strand of Divine Sense, he could only be kneaded at will by Yun Ming; he did not even have the possibility of resistance.
The events that followed were simple: Yun Ming broadcasted Tang San's schemes regarding the Abyss Plane live across the entire continent.
The result was predictable. The Abyss owed a mountain of blood debts to Douluo Continent. While commoners might not have known, the major Soul Master factions were well aware of the truth. Whether their faith could withstand such a blood feud was truly hard to say. At the very least, even the people from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were stunned into silence on the scene.
After the broadcast, Yun Ming did not give the three of them another chance. He extinguished Tang San's Divine Sense directly, extracted the power Tang Hao and Ah Yin had usurped, and merged it—along with the essence of the Abyss—into Douluo Star. Then, he unlocked the shackles binding the Soul Masters and Soul Beasts of Douluo Star.
Glancing at the members of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect whose faith had collapsed, Yun Ming paid them no mind; this was the necessary growing pain for the continent's transformation. There were only two people he needed to deal with before he left.
Yun Ming tossed the powerless Tang Hao and Ah Yin to Tang Wulin and said.
"You have seen what your father has done. I hope you think clearly about what you will do next. I do not want the person I chose to become a sanctimonious hypocrite!"
"Of course, if you want to seek revenge on me, I am ready to oblige."
After all, there was a Tang Wulin in this lifetime, so it was not appropriate for Yun Ming to kill the two of them outright.
Tang Wulin numbly took his grandparents, looking at Yun Ming with a dazed expression, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He was indeed different from Tang San, but deep down, he still revered him. Now that the situation had turned out like this, he did not know what to do! In the end, he could only respond with silence.
As for the other person, it was naturally Gu Yuena.
"The problem with the Soul Beasts has been resolved; you should be able to feel it. Whether you want to move away or stay is up to you. I only have one requirement: grievances have their sources and debts have their debtors. Do not cause trouble for humanity. If you want to settle scores, wait for the God Realm to return and go find them."
Yun Ming was much less polite with this rebellious daughter.
Gu Yuena felt a bit displeased, but the emotions left behind by Na'er forced her to accept it obediently.
"I know."
Gu Yuena muttered a soft response.
Seeing the girl act this way, Yun Ming recalled the days he spent raising Na'er and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
This is what a daughter should be like!
Finally, he patted the dragon head, and Yun Ming vanished, leaving behind only a stunned Silver Dragon King.
After this incident, Tang San's image collapsed. Although the Federation, considering how deeply Tang San was intertwined with the continent, did not forcibly abolish his titles, his selfish plans had effectively cut him off from the continent. All factions, led by the Federation, began to downplay Tang San; his statues were dismantled, the Sea God Pavilion was renamed, and most public information was destroyed. Even the Tang Sect, under pressure from other factions, began to shift its glory onto Tang Wulin.
Thus, through the tacit handling of all factions, in less than a thousand years, even if Tang San did not become dust in history like Qian Renxue or Bibi Dong once were, there would be very few who remembered him.
As for Yun Ming, he became the new eternal monument of Shrek Academy and the savior who rescued the world from the Abyss, his name passed down to future generations.
With everything settled, Yun Ming looked at the tiny soul sleeping in his palm, the frost in his eyes melting away, replaced by deep tenderness. He glanced at the Karma slowly dissipating within his Divine Body and spoke softly to his palm.
"So, this Karma originated from you!"
At this moment, everything became clear to Yun Ming. The look in his future self's eyes when he fought Poseidon, and his own sudden enlightenment in recent days, all had their answers.
His own time-travel back then was due to a Space-Time Rift, but Ya Li was different; she had been saved by his future self and sent back to the past. He had to complete what his future self had done, otherwise, both space-times would collapse! This was also the origin of the formidable Karma that had been affecting him.
Taking one last look at this space-time, Yun Ming took a step forward and walked into the Dimension Rift.
"Let's go home."
