And when the protagonist unswervingly handed over the Immortal Sorrow to Mo Xilan, he would say, "This object is a symbol of what we have gone through… how could it be used by that Great Demon?"

At this, Mo Xilan would respond with sparkling eyes, "But, isn't the Great Demon important?"

Actually, the question wasn't really about the importance of the Great Demon. It was about the people of the Martial Arts world, which was the responsibility carried by the protagonist.

This juncture was Mo Xilan's most critical choice.

Mo Xilan's conquest path had reached its most crucial step.

Whether or not Mo Xilan's figure in the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram could be illuminated depended on this.

Answering 'not important' would mean the protagonist betrayed his chivalrous essence and his own character. Although this could earn Mo Xilan's affection and trigger the final ending, it would not illuminate the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram, thus preventing him from reaching the Love Saint ending.

If he answered 'important,' Mo Xilan would, in the final battle, use the Immortal Sorrow on Piao Miaoxu to help the protagonist. Shortly after the grand ending, she would die.

This was a kind of hidden problem, similar to the classic "If your mother and I both fell into the water, who would you save?"

Only a girl as petty and slightly dramatic as Mo Xilan would ask such a question.

And even then, there was no good answer.

This was one of the most vexing aspects of pursuing Mo Xilan.

Crucially, the game's protagonist didn't know that Immortal Sorrow could save Mo Xilan's life.

Only the player knew this because the player could restart and uncover different plotlines.

At this time, as a player aiming for the Love Saint ending, your only choice was to input a custom response:

"To the present me, Piao Miaoxu is naturally important."

"To the future me, Immortal Sorrow is even more important."

"Xin Lan, do you want the present, or do you want the future?"

At this, Mo Xilan would not speak, only shyly accept the Immortal Sorrow.

Reflecting on it now, these scenes flashed through Wang Mu's mind…

「At that moment.」

"Then…" a light-blue figure slowly produced an elixir, speaking gently, "Brother Dongfang, do you still recognize this?"

"…"

That elixir was precisely the imitation Immortal Sorrow he had refined.

Only…

Something seems off.

Cold sweat trickled down Wang Mu's back.

This probably isn't some imitation Immortal Sorrow; it's more likely some kind of poison, right? Mo Xilan is testing me, and not just testing; within that hidden smile, I'm afraid there's still…

"Immortal Sorrow," Wang Mu said slowly.

"Exactly," the light-blue figure said softly, handing it to Wang Mu. "Brother Dongfang, if, after taking this, you would never be separated from me again, would you take it?"

"…" Wang Mu.

Great, this again. She's clearly still testing me, though of course, the elixir could be real. But the situation is different now. This kind of answer…

Wang Mu smiled and said, "After a thousand years apart, this is indeed a fine gift."

"However…"

Wang Mu didn't answer directly. Instead, he slowly took out the Heartbreak Flower and said, "Xin Lan, you should recognize this. It embodies longing; this flower holds a thousand years of yearning. If you wear this flower, you will experience the thousand years of longing I've endured. Xin Lan, would you wear it?"

The faintly glowing Heartbreak Flower emitted a fragrance like that of an orchid in a secluded valley, seeming to stir countless thoughts within a person.

The light-blue figure faltered, whether captivated by the flower or stunned by Wang Mu's words, it was unclear.

That elixir definitely isn't anything good.

Wang Mu's meaning was clear.

I can take the elixir, but are you willing to wear this flower? That elixir is definitely not Immortal Sorrow. Probably not anything good… If I take it, I might be changed… That would be troublesome.

But if I don't take it…

Wang Mu even knew what she would say.

She'd just say, 'So you don't want to be with me? You really aren't my Brother Dongfang! Go die!' Damn, I'd be done for. My identity, everything, would become irrelevant. To break this impasse, I have to use this Divine Flower. I can only hope this flower is alright…

"A thousand years of longing…"

The light-blue figure murmured, gazing at the Heartbreak Flower… She slowly walked towards it.

Wang Mu remained silent, just watching.

She extended her hand, slowly reaching for the Heartbreak Flower…

Seeing this, joy surged in Wang Mu's heart.

If she just touches it, perhaps there's a sliver of hope!

But just as her fingers were about to brush the petals,

the snow-white, jade-like hand suddenly stopped.

The light-blue figure said hauntingly, "Brother Dongfang, you offer me this flower. It seems you don't trust me… Are you trying to use this flower to evoke our past emotions?"

"You still don't trust me… Do you think I want to kill you?"

"You wound me so…"

"Since it's like this…"

The light-blue figure flicked her finger, and Wang Mu found he couldn't move.

The next second, a streak of light flashed, and the elixir entered Wang Mu's mouth.

"Then I'll just have to let Brother Dongfang die…"

"Only in death, perhaps, will you never be separated from me…"

With a gentle push, the light-blue figure sent Wang Mu off the cliff of the mysterious Qifeng Mountain.

Wang Mu's pupils contracted as he plummeted into the clouds, the Heartbreak Flower falling from his grasp.

His consciousness began to blur. In the final moments before he lost sight, he vaguely saw the light-blue figure in the clouds, gracefully lifting the Heartbreak Flower. She was still smiling beautifully as she watched him…

Am I really done for?

Wang Mu's consciousness gradually slipped away…
