Wang Lin left. He took away Zhou Ru and the complicated feelings between him and Liu Mei. He buried the memories of the past deep in his heart and never wanted to touch them again.
In the end, Mu Bingmei didn't look at Wang Ping. Wang Lin didn't want to guess what she was thinking, and he wouldn't guess. He turned around and left. It was as if there was a curtain separating them into two different worlds. As the formation opened, the distance between them became farther and farther. It was so far that even a dream couldn't reach it.
If the furthest distance in this world wasn't life and death, but forgetting, then right now, the furthest distance between Wang Lin and Mu Bingmei had become shorter. What was even further was unforgettable … She wanted to forget, but she couldn't forget. She wanted to search, but there was no way. The only thing that remained was the blooming and falling of flowers. The eternity of night and day silently flowed and alternated.
Mu Bingmei quietly watched the formation open. The light was blinding as the figure gradually disappeared, and her tears flowed down once more.
She wanted to see Wang Ping, she wanted to touch her child's body, she wanted to hold him in her arms … However, she couldn't … More than that, she didn't dare to.
Her dao heart had a flaw because of Liu Mei, so she should have cut it off and gotten rid of this flaw. Although her dao heart wouldn't be perfect, there would be no more flaws.
However, once she saw Wang Ping, Mu Bingmei didn't know what would happen to her. Would her dao heart be perfect or would it collapse? She didn't know … If her life belonged to herself, perhaps she wouldn't hesitate to continue down this path, whether it was right or wrong.
However, as the Brilliant Void Saintess, many times, her life didn't belong to herself.
"Let all of this … end like this …" Mu Bingmei bit her lower lip and slowly walked into the distance. Her back seemed even more lonely than Wang Lin's.
The sky was blue, and Mu Bingmei's heart also seemed to become blue. This color was very strong, as if it was very far away.
The stars were black, and the bright nebulae in the distance seemed to be unable to extend the starlight to cover Wang Lin's pained heart. He could only allow the pain to spread and drown his body.
"Maybe it won't hurt anymore after a while."
After sending Zhou Ru off to the new Rain World, under her reluctant gaze, Wang Lin rubbed her head and a kind smile appeared on his face. It was as if he had returned to the past when he brought up a little girl and raised her slowly. Gradually, he felt like he was a father to her.
Whenever he saw Zhou Ru, Wang Lin would think of Wang Ping and Li Muwan.
"Stay here and be obedient. Don't waste your cultivation. You … have already grown up." Wang Lin looked at the slender and elegant girl in front of him, and the kindness in his eyes deepened.
"Uncle …" It was as if Zhou Ru was made of water. Her tears flowed down uncontrollably. Just like when she was young, she clutched the corner of Wang Lin's clothes tightly. It was as if she was afraid that if she let go, Wang Lin would never come back.
"Uncle doesn't know if bringing you here was right or wrong. However, Uncle won't be at ease if you're with Mu Bingmei and will be worried."
After gradually covering up the pain in his heart, Wang Lin gently looked at Zhou Ru. This child had accompanied him for many years.
"If … Uncle never comes back, Little Ru Er, you can go find your teacher."
Wang Lin closed his eyes. When he opened them, he turned around and pulled the corner of his clothes from Zhou Ru's hand. He turned into a gust of wind and disappeared into the distance.
"Uncle …" Zhou Ru's tears soaked her clothes. Hu Juan, who was standing behind her, let out a sigh. She held Zhou Ru's hand and softly said, "Your uncle will come back."
In the eastern region of the Alliance Star System, after the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor returned, the Four Divine Sect underwent a powerful integration. The Four Divine Sects became one and were no longer separated.
From now on, there would no longer be four Divine Emperors, only one named the Divine Sovereign!
There was a lot of disagreement in the Four Divine Sect regarding the integration of the Azure Dragon Divine Sect. However, with the Azure Dragon Divine Sovereign's powerful cultivation, all the opposing voices disappeared.
The Holy Treasures of the Black Tortoise Divine Sect and the White Tiger Divine Sect were no longer in the hands of these two sects. Instead, they were in the hands of the Azure Dragon Divine Sect. The methods to use the Holy Treasures and the cultivation chants of the various Divine Sects were no longer secrets.
When Wang Lin's figure appeared in the eastern region of the Alliance Star System, the Four Divine Sects had just finished integrating. The moment he appeared, he was immediately discovered by the people of the Azure Dragon Divine Sect.
Wang Lin calmly looked at a group of patrolling cultivators from the Azure Dragon Divine Sect. His gaze swept past them, and they all lowered their heads.
Wang Lin didn't speak but slowly walked past them and gradually disappeared into the distance.
It wasn't until he left that the patrolling cultivators looked at each other. One of them immediately took out a jade and notified the elder of his disappearance.
"He is no longer the Divine King. Why be polite to him?" One of the patrolling cultivators muttered with dissatisfaction.
As soon as Wang Lin returned to the eastern region of the Alliance Star System, he felt that the atmosphere was very strange. Along the way, all the Four Divine Sect cultivators that saw him had a strange expression, but no one stopped him.
Not long after, a crimson star field appeared in front of him. This was where the Rosefinch Divine Sect was located.
However, just as he was about to enter, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the space behind him.
Several rays of light flew over and turned into seven people in front of Wang Lin. Two of them were Rosefinch, one was White Tiger, and the other four were Azure Dragons. All of them were elders and their cultivations weren't weak.
Wang Lin's eyes were calm. He was familiar with these seven people. They were all people who had participated in saving the Azure Dragon Divine King.
Seeing Wang Lin, the two elders of the Rosefinch Divine Sect looked a bit ashamed and avoided his gaze.
"Wang Lin, the Azure Dragon Divine Sovereign invites you!"
The one who spoke was an elder of the Azure Dragon Divine Sect. He looked at Wang Lin with an apologetic gaze. He didn't understand why the Divine King would do such a thing, but he didn't have the right to stop him. He could only agree.
"Are the people I left at the Rosefinch Divine Sect safe?"
Wang Lin slowly asked. He had a guess in his heart when he heard the old man's words.
This person didn't call him Divine King, so the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor must have said something. However, the strange thing was how the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor addressed him. Combined with the strange things he had seen along the way, Wang Lin became cautious.
"They are all safe." The one who answered Wang Lin was an elder of the Rosefinch Divine Sect.
Wang Lin looked at the elder and remembered that he was the one who had asked him what he would do after becoming the Divine Emperor. Wang Lin nodded and didn't say anything else. He turned and stepped into the Burning Starfield.
The Azure Dragon Divine Sect elders frowned and stepped into the Burning Starfield.
"Wang Lin, the Azure Dragon Divine Sect wants you to see him!" shouted the Azure Dragon Divine Sect elder. His tone was heavy as he chased after Wang Lin.
Wang Lin ignored him. After he entered the burning starfield, his divine sense spread out and swept the starfield with the help of the flames. He also used Spatial Bending and in a few flashes, his divine sense spread out to cover the entire starfield.
However, he didn't find any trace of Big-head and the others.
Wang Lin's expression suddenly became gloomy. There was a flash of coldness in his eyes as he looked at the seven old men chasing him.
"Where are they?!"
Wang Lin stared at the seven of them and quickly calmed himself. He knew that anger wouldn't solve the problem. He had to remain calm.
"Wang Lin, as a member of the Four Divine Sect, the Divine Emperor wants to see you. Do you need the Old Man to say it a third time?!"
The Azure Dragon Divine Sect elder's expression was dark. If it weren't for his fear of Wang Lin's previous status, he would have already attacked Wang Lin due to the old Divine Emperor Rosefinch's countless years of kindness.
"If it weren't for me, the Azure Dragon Divine Sect you speak of would still be sealed in the Rain World!" Wang Lin said slowly.
"You …" The Azure Dragon Divine Sect elder stared at Wang Lin, and his expression became even darker.
"If it weren't for the old Divine Emperor Rosefinch, even your Azure Dragon Divine Sect would have long since disappeared. If the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor wants to see me, then tell him to come himself!"
Wang Lin would never step out of this burning starfield. The flames here were monstrous, and if he used his cultivation, it would increase his power.
The Azure Dragon Divine Sect elder was so angry that he let out a laugh, but the people beside him became silent.
"The Old Man admires the fact that the Divine Emperor Rosefinch died for the Four Divine Sect."
Just at this moment, an ancient voice echoed across the sky. This voice seemed to contain a spell, and the moment it landed, it caused the burning flames in the starfield to pause for a moment.
The seven elders immediately became serious and retreated. They clasped their hands and said in unison, "Greetings, Divine Emperor."
Layers of green light swiftly appeared in the world. As they swiftly gathered together, the flames in the area seemed to have been stirred up by a pair of huge hands. They spread out in all directions to reveal an empty space.
In this empty space, the azure light condensed to reveal the figure of the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor.
Compared to his previous sorry state in the Rain Celestial Realm, the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor seemed to be a completely different person. His azure robe flickered and his hands were behind his back as a shocking pressure spread out.
"You must be here to return the Immemorial Saint Artifact. Hand it over."
The Azure Dragon Divine Emperor extended his hand and calmly looked at Wang Lin. There was no emotion in his eyes, only coldness.
"My friend, where are you!?"
Wang Lin took a few steps back and looked at the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor. Under the pressure of the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor, Wang Lin felt like his body was going to collapse, but he forced himself to endure it.
The Azure Dragon Divine Emperor smiled, but this smile was extremely cold.
"The Old Man didn't make things difficult for them. Outside the Four Divine Sect, there is a planet called Planet Stone. All the outsiders were sent there.
"I can give up my identity as the Rosefinch Divine Emperor, I can give you the Sacred Treasure, and I can leave this place and never come back. However, I want to take something with me!"
Wang Lin didn't plan on taking the Sacred Treasure. His right hand reached out and a white flaming stone flew out. Inside the stone was a drop of blood from the Sacred Treasure.
