When the other heroines were defeated and only Mo Xilan remained, the buff became useful. By then, Piao Miaoxu had also been significantly weakened. Otherwise, Piao Miaoxu would have been unbeatable. In the end, Mo Xilan was knocked out of the battlefield, the buff vanished, and the great battle was almost over. The scene, however, still persisted. So, as Wang Mu threw a practiced punch at the Gate of Apocalypse, he immediately looked down at the figures below, trying to see who had obtained the Emperor Spirit Pearl... The faintly glowing Emperor Spirit Pearl was still relatively clear as it slowly descended towards Mo Xilan!

As expected! It's Mo Xilan! She must have obtained the Emperor Spirit Pearl! Wang Mu fixed his gaze on Mo Xilan's position. He felt a complex mix of emotions, yet he also sighed in relief, knowing this crucial piece of information. However...

"..."

His last gaze... was on me...

The light-blue figure trembled as she watched the scene, murmuring to herself, "After I defeated Piao Miaoxu, I was semi-conscious and didn't know what happened afterward... His last gaze was on me... Such a complex look... Was it longing, Brother Dongfang? Were you longing for me then? Or did you realize you might not be able to fulfill your promise... Is that why you looked at me with such complexity... at the very last moment?"

She had replayed that scene in her mind for far too long. But because she had been unconscious, she never knew what truly transpired afterward. Now, watching it unfold, her eyes refused to miss a single detail...

Then, space shattered, and she watched as that figure was sucked into boundless darkness. In that vast darkness, it felt as if endless ages had passed. It was a lightless abyss... an unconscious loneliness seeping into her very bones, devoid of time and space. Only that figure remained, a solitary, faint source of light. Her heart pounded violently as she watched.

Could it be... you spent these thousand years in such darkness? No wonder you said you couldn't engage in cultivation during all that time...

In such a mysterious, dark abyss, a person was like an inanimate object. Forget cultivation; simply remaining alive was a miracle. It was as if she finally understood the cause and effect, and her heart quaked uncontrollably.

In your state, you must have been a wreck after you got out... And now, in this prosperous era of the Immortal Path... No wonder you adopted a pseudonym...

The light-blue figure clenched her teeth. I know your pride... you wouldn't want to burden me... But why did you go to Yan Qingwu? And how on earth did you even get out? Her eyes misted over.

Suddenly, her eyes widened abruptly.

In the midst of that boundless darkness, the figure—who had lain there for an unknown eternity—suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had seen another faint glimmer of light in the void. That glimmer, reflected in his eyes, formed a blurry shadow...

"Who... Who is it?!"

The light-blue figure froze. You're awakening, opening your eyes now... Who is it? Who could possibly give you the strength to hold on even at this point... After a thousand years...

BOOM!

「The image vanished.」

Wang Mu shot up like a drowning man finally reaching shore, gasping for breath. Damn! It was as if he had died and been resurrected.

Was that last image still blurry? He wasn't entirely sure what had just happened.

When he opened his eyes again, Wang Mu froze. The light-blue figure was once again before him! He collected himself, a vague understanding dawning on him.

The figure held the Heartbreak Flower. It emitted a faint red glow, making her appear even more delicate than the bloom itself. The rims of her eyes were tinged with a soft red as she smiled, "Brother Dongfang..."

Wang Mu fell silent, a secret relief washing over him. It seems I've escaped disaster this time. That Elixir... it actually made me re-experience something akin to the Three-Life Illusion Realm. This Mo Xilan... she really is still testing me.

The light-blue figure pursed her lips, her voice a soft whisper, "I want to ask you... at the very end... who did you see?"

Wang Mu was puzzled. This question... why does it sound so familiar?
