Chapter 1434: Chapter 260: The Grand Finale
The battle on the Eight Desolate Continent was earth-shattering, even the Divine World knew that the Human World had witnessed the first Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox in history.
Whether it was the Black Qilin King or the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, both were existences comparable to Divine-class.
After that battle, the generation of Black Qilin King Ye Xiu was defeated and then disappeared, while the legendary Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, most qualified to become a god, also vanished.
The fires of war on the Eight Desolate Continent and Wuji Continent were extinguished after this great injury.
Through the mediation from the Human World’s new Realm God, Bo Bo, a peace treaty was signed between several Great Beast Clans of the Eight Desolate Continent and the Four Great Countries, the Magic Temple, and the Elite Camp of the Wuji Continent.
The Dutian Blood Realm, originally representing thousands of years of hatred between two Great Beast Clans, finally completed its historical mission, the blood clouds dispersed, and the sky returned to a symbolic peaceful blue.
The former Dutian Inn has also become a part of history.
Now, both the Human Clan and Beast Clan can freely travel between the two continents, and the hatred between humans and beasts is gradually forgotten as time fades.
Time flies, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and it’s another season of spring blossoms.
In an unnamed village in the Great Zhou, in front of an unremarkable thatch cottage.
Bright red Blood Stopping Flowers bloom nicely, a heavily pregnant woman half-squats in front of the Medicine Field; although her body is inconvenient, she pulls weeds swiftly.
Her eyes flashed with golden light, and soon, the weeds in the Medicine Field were completely removed.
The woman raised her head, shading her eyes from the dazzling sunlight with her hand, sweat glistening on her forehead, setting her face aglow like a jade plate.
"Yun Sheng, I have some sweet rice wine here, keep it for your confinement." The village chief, carrying a jar of rice wine, walked over smiling.
"Thank you, village chief grandpa." Yun Sheng smiled as she accepted the rice wine.
Half a year ago, Yun Sheng returned from the Eight Desolate Continent, and the blood mist on the continent dissipated.
The newly developed vaccines were also successively distributed into the hands of the continental populace. Rejecting invitations from the Great Zhou and the Magic Temple, she returned to Banana Leaf Village. Soon after her return, she discovered she was pregnant.
Upon hearing the news, Hu Jiusheng and Yun Canghai both encouraged her to return to Taiyuan Mountain, but Yun Sheng politely refused, staying in Banana Leaf Village, and took over the position of mage at the village’s Magic Temple, cultivating medicine fields, and selecting potential children to learn magic.
Her body, now six months along, had gradually become less agile.
After bidding farewell to the village chief, Yun Sheng returned to her room, put down the rice wine, and walked into the inner room.
The furnishings in the room were simple but tidy; on the bed, Ye Beiming lay there quietly.
Six months ago, when the Ancient Forbidden Curse took effect on Ye Beiming, Yun Sheng acquired the last quarter of the Sky Fox Relics in Ye Beiming’s body.
Yet Ye Beiming did not directly die, but lay there silently like a vegetative person.
His breathing and pulse had nearly vanished, yet his appearance was exactly as it was when he was alive.
Yun Sheng knew it was likely due to the part-effect of the Life and Death Talisman inside Ye Beiming’s body.
But he never woke up again.
"Ye Fox, why don’t you wake up? In over three months, our child will be born. Listening to the pulse, it should be a baby girl. You said her name would be Ye Ling Yue." Yun Sheng softly said beside him.
Every day, she would wipe Ye Beiming’s body, shave his new stubble, and massage his muscles.
This man still looked as handsome as he did when he was alive.
In the room, the Heavenly Destiny Mirror emitted radiant light, Ji Ru Mo appeared behind Yun Sheng.
"Yun Sheng, don’t be too sad, you have to think more about the child in your belly." Watching Yun Sheng’s look, Ji Ru Mo couldn’t help but feel saddened.
But he understood, Yun Sheng wouldn’t listen to him anyway.
"Ru Mo, I always feel like he can hear what I say." Yun Sheng smiled and wiped away the tears at her eyes.
She placed Ye Beiming’s hand on her swollen belly, gently stroking.
"Ye Fox, listen, our child has already started kicking. Her strength is even stronger than most boys." With that, she laughed sweetly.
Ji Ru Mo sighed, glanced at the seemingly lifeless Ye Beiming, and silently disappeared into the Heavenly Destiny Mirror.
Yun Sheng spoke gently, and eventually, leaned against Ye Beiming’s side and fell asleep deeply.
"Ye Fox... our daughter is named Ye Ling Yue."
Yun Sheng’s voice kept echoing.
In some unknown space, amidst chaos, Ye Beiming wandered, searching for an exit.
Ever since he merged with Yun Sheng, he became like this.
He didn’t know where he was now, nor did he know how Yun Sheng was doing on the Wuji Continent.
But no matter how he searched, he could not find an exit from this Chaos Zone.
"Give up, those who have used the Life and Death Talisman’s energy can never get out of here." A man appeared before him.
"Who are you?" Ye Beiming looked at the melancholic man before him.
"Me? I am the previous owner of the Life and Death Talisman." The man appeared dignified, but his complexion was not good, always shrouding his brows with worry.
The previous owner of the Life and Death Talisman?
That was the person Bo Bo mentioned before, the first Human to acquire the Life and Death Talisman. His loved one was demoted to human, and he was forever trapped in the Divine World.
But wasn’t he supposed to have become divine, why is he still here?
"The area we are in now is a special space created by the Life and Death Talisman, named Life and Death Chaos. Since we’ve willingly sacrificed for those we love, in the endless future years, we’ll wander here like Ghost Souls, undying, unperishing, and unable to reincarnate." The man’s voice carried a hint of nostalgia.
"No, I am different from you. I am unwilling to sacrifice for my lover." Ye Beiming’s words left the man stunned.
"Unwilling? Then why did you activate the energy of the Life and Death Talisman and enter here?" The man’s Ghost Soul had always been inside the Life and Death Talisman. He watched Ye Beiming activate the Life and Death Talisman, becoming this undead-like state.
Years ago, he too sought the opportunity for his beloved woman, the Female Main God who created the Life and Death Talisman, to reincarnate, praying to the Divine Master, sacrificing himself, and was trapped here.
"Since desire to live together, why seek death? My woman, she appears strong but is very fragile too. I promised her that I would accompany her until the last moment, and a gentleman never reneges on his promise." Ye Beiming smiled calmly, the resolve deep in his eyes stinging the other’s vision.
If the desire to live together, why seek death? Years ago, he and his lover also gave up because they thought divine rules were inviolable.
If only they had persevered a bit longer then...
"You are the most resolute person I’ve met. I have been trapped here for over a thousand years and have never encountered someone like you. Perhaps, I can help you return to your lover’s side, but you need to pay a price." The Ghost Soul man realized upon hearing Ye Beiming’s words.
"What price?" Before Ye Beiming finished speaking, he felt his body being drawn by a powerful suction force, falling like into clouds below.
"Hopefully, you won’t blame me someday." Amidst the chaos, he only heard the man’s soft voice.
The night was quiet, Yun Sheng felt her face itch as if something gently brushed by the corner of her eye.
It was... a man’s slightly trembling, warm lips.
In her ear, she heard a dreamlike sigh. The night was as cool as water, yet the man’s voice was rich like a pot of intoxicating wine.
"Little Wildcat, I’m back."
