Chapter 1280 It seems like their story will never end (End)
The galaxy converged from all directions towards the place where Guixu exploded, lighting up the endless darkness within and causing ripples in Ji Wushuang's eyes.
She looked at the stars outside the chaos in surprise and asked puzzledly, "Zhu Yan, what is that? Is it a ghost?"
Zhu Yan shook his head and looked at Ji Wushuang with eyes full of tenderness.
"No, it's a living being."
"Why are these creatures here?!" Ji Wushuang was shocked. "They are crazy!"
If it weren't for the fact that these ghosts and dead souls in the sky only wanted to return to the Nether Sea and had no time to pay attention to other people, I'm afraid they would be bitten to pieces as soon as they got close.
Zhu Yan raised his eyes and looked at the sky quietly. After a long while, he chuckled and said, "Well, maybe I'm crazy..."
"Who? It can't be Yingji and the others, right?"
"Perhaps you could take a look at this yourself?"
Ji Wushuang looked in the direction Zhu Yan pointed and his eyes fell on the woman in the lead.
After not seeing her for many years, she was still as heroic and imposing as ever, but the expression on her face was a little more solemn and unpredictable than before, which made people afraid. But in Ji Wushuang's eyes, it made her feel extremely sad.
Not only Feng Ying, Meng Hong, Tian Yan, etc., but also the masters, friends, seniors, and juniors. There were even many faces that Ji Wushuang had never seen before. Even Ying Ji and his group came...
Looking at the crowd that had gathered like an ocean, Ji Wushuang felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. After a long pause, he said in a hoarse voice, "Why... are you all here?"
Zhu Yan sighed softly, and slowly interlocked his fingers with Ji Wushuang, as if he was reluctant to leave, but also as if he was attached to her.
"Of course, they also want to protect you..."
All living beings saw and remembered all that Ji Wushuang had done, so when Ji Wushuang was close enough to protect them, they were just as eager... to protect her.
Ji Wushuang sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "What a bunch of idiots..." Zhu Yan laughed when he heard that, but Ji Wushuang rolled his eyes. "Don't laugh, you're an idiot too."
"Okay, okay, I'm stupid too."
“…You’re all idiots.”
"Okay, okay, we're all idiots."
"What should we do now? How can we make them leave? If we get any closer, we might be kept here forever..."
Before Zhu Yan could answer, Ji Wushuang suddenly felt a vast and boundless life force suddenly breaking into the explosion area of Guixu.
It turned out that Feng Ying set an example by jumping in at once.
Others followed closely behind, one after another, like a sloping torrent. It was obvious that they wanted to use their bodies and strength to tear a crack in the Guixu torrent and "rescue" Ji Wushuang.
But they didn't know that Ji Wushuang had already merged with this Guixu.
She is returning to the ruins.
Guixu is her.
Ji Wushuang knew too well the horror of the extremely expanded Guixu. The dark energy inside it, which had almost turned into substance, could easily destroy everything. If she did nothing, they would be torn into pieces like pieces of paper.
Ji Wushuang looked at their reckless leap of faith, as if he saw a flower of death in full bloom, and his mind went blank.
"stop!"
“Stop it!”
"don't want!!!"
Ji Wushuang couldn't help but let go of Zhu Yan's hand and took a few steps forward. The next moment, free starlight suddenly appeared on Ji Wushuang's body, swaying and floating like clouds and fog. Every grain of dust represented a person's belief of "wanting to take Ji Wushuang home".
They lingered around Ji Wushuang, expressing his silent longing. Their lingering presence also represented Ji Wushuang's lingering bond with life...
Ji Wushuang was originally the ruler of the "Wushuang Continent", and the will of the "Universe" still remained in her.
She looked back at Zhu Yan in a daze, and the latter suddenly smiled, his eyes filled with the purest and strongest love for her.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going over yet?"
His voice was so gentle that Ji Wushuang felt like she had a lump in her throat. She trembled and asked, "Did you... let them come over?"
Zhu Yan: “…”
Ji Wushuang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said viciously: "It's you!"
Zhu Yan smiled, which was a silent acknowledgement.
Ji Wushuang asked in confusion: "Why did you do this?"
Why let everyone come here?
Why allow them to appear in front of her?
Why is she still tied to the "universe"?
Is he going to kick her out?
Zhu Yan chuckled and said, "Of course it's because I want you to be well..."
It was because he loved Ji Wushuang wholeheartedly that he didn't want to see her imprisoned here so early. The people she loved were still there, and she still cared about them in her heart. For her, this would be an invisible torment...
In the future, when they leave this world one by one, she will definitely still have regrets.
Both of her lives had been difficult.
So, he didn't want her to have any regrets.
When they all fall, she will come back to his side and that will be...
He could wait for her forever.
Always……
Always……
Ji Wushuang's eyes were red as he glared at Zhu Yan fiercely. "Who told you to make such a rash decision? Once I've cultivated well and can fully control the power of the underworld, I'll naturally go back to find them... So... why are you chasing me away? Don't you believe in my power?"
Zhu Yan chuckled and patted Ji Wushuang's head: "Of course I believe in you. According to the development of fate, sooner or later you will become the Lord of the Underworld and control the Guixu Underworld Sea..."
However, the process of "controlling the Guixu Dark Sea" was extremely long. By the time Ji Wushuang "attained enlightenment" and was able to return to the universe, Feng Ying and others had already passed away and fallen into reincarnation.
Maybe it will remain in Ji Wushuang's heart forever...
Became a thorn in her heart.
Zhu Yan seems magnanimous, but in fact he is very petty and possessive.
He didn't want Ji Wushuang to have even a little regret in her heart, because any regret would divert her attention.
In the long years to come, he wanted her to be the only one in his heart.
Ji Wushuang stared at Zhu Yan in a daze. Zhu Yan leaned over and kissed her lightly on the lips, then gently pushed her a step away. "Go, your family, friends, and masters are waiting for you..."
Ji Wushuang suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said, "I won't leave you alone. I won't leave."
Zhu Yan looked at her with her round phoenix eyes, his heart softening uncontrollably. He patiently explained, "The expanding power of the underworld is continuously flowing into our bodies, so I can't leave here for the time being. At least I have to wait until the Underworld Path and the Underworld Sea stabilize."
"I'll go with you..."
"Don't worry, we are connected by our origins. No matter where you go, I will be with you. On the contrary... ahem, my mother-in-law and father-in-law..." Zhu Yan said the name "mother-in-law" again, and felt the tips of his ears burning. "Maybe they miss you so much, don't they?"
Ji Wushuang met his extremely affectionate and doting gaze, and suddenly remembered the last time he fell asleep and woke up to meet Zhu Yan's worried gaze.
At that time, she said guiltily, "Then next time, can you punish me by making me wait for you? I will wait no matter how long it takes." But Zhu Yan never made her wait...
He would rather erase her memory and let her live a happy and free life.
He always protected her with all his love when she couldn't see him.
How could she reciprocate his feelings?
How can I show him the same love?
Ji Wushuang suddenly held Zhu Yan's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go over there."
Zhu Yan was about to say that he couldn't leave when he heard Ji Wushuang suddenly say viciously, "Don't force yourself. Just come if I tell you to!"
Zhu Yan: “…”
Zhu Yan had no choice but to be held tightly by Ji Wushuang with their fingers interlocked, stepping through the Guixu torrent, passing the army of virtual ghosts, and skimming across the brilliant sea of stars, and finally arriving at the outskirts of Guixu. At this time, Feng Ying and others were still trying to get into the Guixu torrent, but found themselves firmly imprisoned by a special force.
Everyone was playing the game with all their might, cursing as they went along.
"This is ridiculous! Why is this Guixu thing so difficult to deal with?"
"Damn it! Don't get discouraged! Master Wushuang is still waiting for us!"
"Damn it! My claws are hurting!"
"That's unreasonable!"
……
Feng Ying and the others remained silent, trying their best to fight against Guixu, until a clear and pleasant voice was heard...
It has spanned tens of thousands of years and, like a refreshing breeze, lingers in everyone's heart.
"Everyone, I'm here."
Everyone shuddered at once and suddenly raised their heads to look towards the direction where the "voice" came from.
Surrounded by colorful starry clouds, they saw the figure that had been haunting them.
She still looked the same as before they parted, with stunning looks, pure temperament, and even her eyes were as bright and beautiful, as if these tens of thousands of years had never stood between them.
She is still the girl in their memories, like the scorching sun.
But her eyes and eyebrows were curved, as beautiful as the first ray of morning light when the world was first created.
Everyone forgot to speak and just stared at her blankly, not even blinking, until a cry of "wa wa wa" was heard, breaking the beautiful atmosphere of the long-awaited reunion.
Seeing Tian Yantu crying with tears and snot, everyone turned into a stunning bird and pounced towards Ji Wushuang, but was finally ruthlessly stopped by a slender and distinct big hand.
"Don't get close yet."
Tianyantu looked up in surprise, only then realizing Zhuyan's voice. It said in horror, "W-why are you here?!"
Zhu Yan said in a serious tone, "Master Ming is still in the early stages of the Condensation Dao. If you approach her rashly, it will only affect her."
As Zhu Yan finished speaking, not only everyone around him was dumbfounded, but even Ji Wushuang himself was dumbfounded.
——What the hell? !
——Lord of the Underworld?
--she?!?!?!
But it is obvious that she and Zhu Yan share the post of "Lord of the Underworld". It is reasonable that Zhu Yan should continue to hold the position. She knows nothing at all.
Zhu Yan smiled slightly, lifted her hand under the gaze of the world, leaned over and gently kissed the back of her hand, then spoke solemnly.
"I will become your believer and follow you."
"You protect all living things."
"I will protect you."
"Until the end of annihilation..."
"Always depend on each other, always accompany each other, always passionate, always sincere, always..."
--Love you.
To outsiders, it sounds like a pledge of allegiance.
Only Ji Wushuang heard the words "I love you", which was Zhu Yan's most straightforward love.
They did not have a grand ceremony to conclude their journey, but the vows they made under the witness of the universe, wasn’t that also a kind of “ceremony”?
Zhu Yan devoutly gave Ji Wushuang everything he could give her.
Ji Wushuang didn't have any thoughts or ideas. She just rushed into his arms and gave him the tightest and most real hug, as if she wanted to embed him into her soul.
After the spiritual fluctuations of the two gradually became in sync, Ji Wushuang began to speak word by word.
"Okay, we will be together forever, forever dependent on each other, forever accompanying each other, forever passionate, forever sincere, and forever in love."
The four words "love you forever" are undoubtedly the most beautiful words of love for Zhu Yan.
It hit him so unexpectedly that he felt dizzy and could only stand there with his face flushed.
Obviously, when it comes to sweet talk, he is definitely no match for Ji Wushuang.
Ji Wushuang looked at Zhu Yan's expression for a moment. His deep eyes were filled with love and helplessness, but they were brighter than the stars in the sky.
Just like back then.
It was still the most beautiful ripple Ji Wushuang had ever seen.
Ji Wushuang clasped his fingers tightly, took a deep breath, and waved towards the petrified people.
"As you can see, I have inherited the underworld..."
Ji Wushuang's gaze swept over everyone one by one.
Tianyan, mother, Menghong, Taixu, father, little fruit, master, master's father-in-law, third master, fifth master's wife, little flag, Lingyun Pearl, little mud, primitive spirit insect, little Bai Ze, little Fenglian, water snake, little ghost dragon, little fox book, little Kun, chaos, nightmare, golden boy, as well as the mountain-guarding stone that quietly transformed into "spiritual bodies" and followed, the Tianyuan fruit tree, the origin of Tianshui, the primitive soil, the wind spirit pearl, the cloud of Dao thunder, the bodhi tree, the magic spirit fruit tree, the beast heart sacred grass, etc.
In addition, there are seniors Bai Ze, Jiao clan, Four Symbols, Holy Land, Beast Clan, Human Clan, Demon Clan, and fellow disciples of Yunlan Sect who are attached to the puppets and rush forward at all costs.
Of course, the younger generations who worked hard to follow Ji Wushuang in those days also stood here with their strength, including Mo Lanxin, Dongfang Daiyuan, Muzhe, Wan Xun, Sheng Yuan, Ji Shangxi, Ananda, Yan Ning and so on.
At the back were the elders such as Feng Yin, Lian Yao Hu, Shen Nong Ding, etc., who all looked worried and solemn but could not say anything.
Then there were Tianlan Tiandao, Tianmo Tiandao, Wanshou Tiandao and Lingjie Tiandao standing beside Feng Yin.
Then there were countless monks whose names she couldn't remember, some from her own universe, and some from other universes...
……
Ji Wushuang looked at the "starlight" shimmering on her body. This was evidence of her close connection with all living things. She silently gazed at it for a long time, her heart filled with warmth, and a most sincere and brilliant smile appeared on her face. She continued, "Of course, I have also found the love of my life. Thank you all for your concern and blessings. When the waves pass, we will surely meet again."
"Thank you for your concern and love..."
"Goodbye."
……
As soon as she finished speaking, she waved to everyone with a raised brow, decisively breaking Xinghui's "ties".
After a brief chime, the "starlight" on Ji Wushuang's body silently soared up, swirling into poems, rivers, years, and history books. It then slowly crossed over the Guixu, crossed the sea of stars, stepped over the undead creatures, and merged into the Guixu torrent...
At this moment, the same thought arose in everyone's mind.
From then on, there was no Ji Wushuang in the world anymore.
There is only the Lord of the Underworld - Ji Wushuang.
But no matter who she is or where she is, her legendary life will always be remembered by them.
……
Everyone stared at the shadows of Ji Wushuang and Zhu Yan without blinking. She smiled softly at him in the starry sky, and he responded with the most warm and affectionate look. Then they walked side by side, gradually entering the colorful nebula.
The wind that blew from the eternal nothingness gently ruffled their hair, lingering around and lingering endlessly.
It seems like their story will never end.
