Chapter 1548: Promise in the Storm (1)

From this moment on, the sky of the w.a.n.ggu was shrouded in a layer of smoke.

It was the smoke of the human world, the human realm of the human race.

It was the Sword Holding Great Emperor’s sword intent that painted it with its hue.

He had fought for thirty years for all living beings in w.a.n.ggu.

Of course, it was only the mortal beings who felt it.

For the G.o.ds, this was just a war between cultivators and had nothing to do with Them.

Some of Them chose to interfere because They didn’t want Their incense offerings to diminish.

For example, the three G.o.ds of the Flame Moon were one of them.

There was no G.o.d who was like the Empress.

Moreover, the G.o.ds who chose to absorb the incense offerings of the w.a.n.ggu races were only a portion of the G.o.ds in the entire w.a.n.ggu.

Most of the G.o.ds were sleeping in Their own places.

They didn’t make a move.

At the end of the day, this war between cultivators was all a game.

The G.o.ds didn’t care about how it was carried out.

And the Sword Holding Great Emperor, in truth, did not care how the G.o.ds viewed this. His thoughts and intentions were fully contained within that one sword.

At that moment, a rain of blood fell from the sky, falling onto the world.

It was the rain of the Summer Immortal’s death.

Amidst the rain, the Sword Holding Great Emperor stood between heaven and earth. He turned his head and took one last look at the human world. After that… he smiled.

“It’s hard to let go of obsessions with life.

But letting go is rebirth.”

His smile was eternal.

The death aura on his body drowned his entire body and his flesh and blood body faded rapidly, returning to the clay statue.

His three souls—Heaven, Earth, and Human—departed from his body.

The Human Soul returned to the memories of the human race, the Earth Soul returned to the human race’s land and territories, and the Heaven Soul similarly merged into the fortunes of the world.

There were also the seven spirits.

The spirits formed from the five human emperors were returned, and They woke up.

The spirits formed from the past and future of the Empress were also sent back with the Sword Holding Great Emperor’s smile.

His Emperor Sword was also released.

He let go and the Emperor Sword drew an arc, landing in front of Xu Qing.

The rain became even heavier.

Xu Qing and the Empress stood in the rain and watched this scene. The sorrow in their hearts rose and didn’t dissipate for a long time.

This lasted until the wind blew over from afar, pa.s.sing through thousands of mountains and colliding with the blood rain. It became an echo that they couldn’t forget and echoed in their hearts.

In the end, it turned into a soft sigh.

Xu Qing lowered his head and bowed deeply to the statue of the Great Emperor.

The Empress also silently bowed to bid farewell.

This scene was like a painting that was imprinted in the minds of all the cultivators who were watching this place.

A month later.

The war in the w.a.n.ggu came to an end as the black-level holy lands collapsed. That ancient Summer Immortal couldn’t descend, nor did he request the other four earth-level holy lands to descend.

This was because it would be meaningless.

Hence, those yellow-level holy lands that existed in w.a.n.ggu became abandoned lone troops. Just like how their ancestors abandoned w.a.n.ggu back then.

Under the eruption of the myriad races, the choice of these yellow-level holy lands to even surrender was erased.

What awaited them was death.

As for the struggle before death, it was only delaying time. However, no matter how much time they delayed, they couldn’t drag it out for thirty years.

As for the human race…

It had completely risen.

Whether it was the current Empress or the magnificent feat of the Sword Holding Great Emperor, they caused the human race to s.h.i.+ne with glory again among the w.a.n.ggu races and become a beam of light in the darkness.

Under such a background, on this day a month later, in the human race’s Grand Imperial Capital Region, amidst the endless rain, the gate of an ancient temple opened.

Two figures walked out.

One was Xu Qing.

The other one was Erniu.

A hint of confusion appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes.

On the other hand, Erniu’s face was filled with gloom. In the depths of his eyes, there was worry.

Behind them, a sigh rang out from the temple.

“I’ve told you all. The Summer Immortal Palaces all over w.a.n.ggu will be closed.”

“The Summer Immortal Palace will make all the preparations before every w.a.n.ggu calamity. Strong individuals and heaven’s chosens would be invited to slumber in the Immortal Source with us.”

“These experts and heaven’s chosens are the seeds of the various races civilizations.”

“After the calamity pa.s.ses, we will wake up. If the world has changed, our mission will be to rebuild the cultivator’s civilization. It was like this in the previous calamities.”

“Others have already been sent. Xu Qing, Chen Erniu, how you choose is up to you. Give me your answer as soon as possible.”

That was the voice of the Summer Immortal Palace’s Palace Master.

As the voice rang out, the door of the temple slowly closed. The entire temple also gradually blurred in the rain and was disappearing. The moment it disappeared, it would be time for it to fall asleep.

There wasn’t much time left.

Xu Qing and Erniu fell silent under the rain.

Half a month ago, after the end of the war, they received a summon from the Palace Master of the Summer Immortal Palace and came here to meet her.

In the past half a month, the Summer Immortal Palace Master had given them opportunities.

Xu Qing’s immortal body was even more stable. His divine body also fused with his consciousness again with the help of the Summer Immortal Palace Master and became perfect.

As for Erniu, his fortuitous encounters were mainly focused on the third-life skull and memories he had obtained.

Under the guidance of the Summer Immortal Palace Master’s unknown method, Erniu seemed to recall more memories.

However, these weren’t the main points of their confusion and gloom.

The reason why they had such expressions after leaving the Summer Immortal Palace was because of something the Summer Immortal Palace Master had told them recently.

“Xu Qing, the reason why 1 helped you the moment you walked the path of the extreme immortal and molded your immortal body was because… your master came..”
