“What do you mean?” Gu Hai’s expression changed.
“We did not change history. Perhaps this was how history went.” Old Mister Guan Qi smiled bitterly.
As Old Mister Guan Qi spoke, he waved his hand. Then, seven-colored light flowed out of the chaotic spacetime. When the light appeared, the door to the chaotic spacetime slowly shrank.
Old Mister Guan Qi sat at that door, using his body to keep it open.
“Go back, then. Go back. Take it as I staged a farce. Hah! Hah! Hahahahaha!” Old Mister Guan Qi guffawed bleakly.
Then, he flung out his sleeve.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Wisps of time-attributed energy turned into beams of seven-colored light rushing to various places in the Divine Continent.
Old Mister Guan Qi used most of the time-attributed energy to manifest a seven-colored screen—a seven-colored door, a door of time connecting to eight hundred thousand years in the future.
“Let’s go. Everything will be restored to how it was. This should be how it was.” Old Mister Guan Qi waved his hand.
Whoosh!
Beams of light soared up from the Divine Continent, each containing a person.
The light pulled over Mo Yike, Long Aotian, and the various sovereigns and sect masters from eight hundred thousand years in the future.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
All of them entered the door of time.
The light enveloped everyone from the future, including Gu Hai’s group. However, this group stopped itself from entering.
“If we leave, will Six Paths know we did this after he becomes the immortal?” Gu Hai frowned.
“He won’t know. His memories are damaged. He should not be able to remember what happened earlier. He was just acting on his obsession, focusing on the Immortal Origin and viewing everyone with enmity. Furthermore, you would have left. Who else knows that you come from eight hundred thousand years in the future?” Old Mister Guan Qi shook his head.
“Right now, our portraits are all over the world,” the Scarlet Emperor called out.
“Portraits? What portraits are those?” Old Mister Guan Qi looked at the Scarlet Emperor.
“Back then, the Six Paths Veritable Lord distributed portraits of us when he issued a bounty, saying we were demons from the Future Sect, an evil sect.” The Scarlet Emperor’s expression changed.
“Even if the heavenly deity body investigates, he would only discover people of this Future Sect, an evil sect hidden from the world? All life only knows us as evil demons and not from the future?” the Flame Monarch said in shock.
“Mister Gu!” Old Mister Guan Qi tossed the white Heavenly Go Stone in his hand to Gu Hai.
When Gu Hai caught the white Heavenly Go Stone, he immediately understood.
He held up the Heavenly Go Stone and pressed it against space.
Whoosh!
Many stars appeared in the distance and formed a ritual array, quickly coalescing energy.
Buzz!
Various figures appeared amid purple energy. However, these were not alive but corpses.
The corpses looked like Gu Hai, Shangguan Hen, the Scarlet Emperor, the Flame Monarch, and the others. They were badly mangled, as though they had just been through an intense battle.
“Quickly enter! I cannot hold on much longer. Hurry!” Old Mister Guan Qi roared.
Heavenly Access’s body trembled.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a beam of black light came out of his body and shot towards the door of time. The future Heavenly Access had left this body. The past Heavenly Access trembled and fell unconscious.
Buzz!
The same happened to the Present Buddha, the Past Buddha, and Mao Tianyun. They fainted when their future selves entered the door of time.
Ji Dihong, the Scarlet Emperor, the White Emperor, and their subordinates entered the door of time.
In the blink of an eye, most were gone, leaving only four: Gu Hai, Jiang Lianshan, the Flame Monarch, and Murong Yan.
Gu Hai activated the ritual array. The Supreme Singularity, the Supreme Genesis, and the Future Buddha trembled, losing some of their memories. At the same time, he added some memories while the three were dazed. With a wave of his hand, he manifested the Immortal Murderer Sword, Immortal Exterminator Sword, and the Immortal Voider Sword, tossing them to Sect Master Supreme Ascendant.
Gu Hai glanced at the unconscious Supreme Wa with some reluctance, then turned his head to look at Old Mister Guan Qi. “Alright. Heavenly Go Pavilion Master, everything is almost as it should be. It is time for us to go.”
At this moment, the entrance to the chaotic spacetime firmly trapped Old Mister Guan Qi.
Mixed emotions flashed in Old Mister Guan Qi’s eyes as he looked at Gu Hai. “Mister Gu, meeting you is my misfortune and also my fortune.”
“Huh?”
“You all leave. I’m not leaving.” Old Mister Guan Qi’s eyes appeared dull as though his heart had died.
Old Mister Guan Qi had always gone after what he wanted. He could no longer turn back.
“You are not leaving?” Gu Hai’s expression changed.
Old Mister Guan Qi looked at Jiang Lianshan.
“Jiang Lianshan, we plotted against each other all our lives. I’m tired already, drained. Haha! She is Yan`er. I manifested her, but she is the same as the real one. She is Yan`er. Help me take good care of her,” Old Mister Guan Qi said with tears in his eyes.
“You…you…,” Jiang Lianshan said with an unsightly expression.
“Yan`er, sorry. Meeting me was a mistake. Rather, manifesting you was also a mistake. However…Yan`er, you have to live well in the future. Live on!” Sorrow flashed in Old Mister Guan Qi’s eyes.
“No! No! Husband, don’t abandon me! Don’t! Even if I die, I don’t care. Husband!” Murong Yan suddenly cried.
“Go. The door of time is about to close! It is closing!” Old Mister Guan Qi said sorrowfully. His eyes had completely dimmed in apathy.
As Old Mister Guan Qi closed his eyes, he remembered the happy times with Murong Yan. He smiled in pain and sorrow as he stepped back, feeling exhausted.
Bang!
Old Mister Guan Qi fell into the chaotic spacetime.
He committed suicide?
Old Mister Guan Qi threw himself into the chaotic spacetime and committed suicide?
At this moment, Gu Hai, Jiang Lianshan, and the Flame Monarch goggled.
Gu Hai knew that Old Mister Guan Qi was sad and hopeless. However, he never expected Old Mister Guan Qi to choose suicide, falling into the chaotic spacetime, never to return.
The heavenly deity body had used Long Shenwu and Long Shenying’s bloodline connection. However, Old Mister Guan Qi had not left anything behind.
He was determined to die. No one could save him.
“No! Husband!”
Murong Yan rushed forward without a care for anything else.
“Don’t!” Jiang Lianshan, the Flame Monarch, and Gu Hai exclaimed.
Boom!
Murong Yan did not hesitate to jump into the chaotic spacetime, lunging towards Old Mister Guan Qi.
Seeing Murong Yan enter, Old Mister Guan Qi opened his eyes. Some light returned to his dull eyes, as he felt horrified.
“No! You cannot come! You cannot come!” Old Mister Guan Qi yelled in alarm.
When Murong Yan jumped in, she suddenly smiled, tears flowing out. “You care about me. You do care about me!”
“No! Once you come in, you can never return. Go back! Go back! Don’t!” Old Mister Guan Qi shouted in horror, wanting to push Murong Yan out.
However, the entrance to the chaotic spacetime dwindled. Murong Yan smiled while tears spilled from her eyes as she hugged Old Mister Guan Qi.
“Husband, don’t leave Yan`er behind, alright? Yan`er is not afraid of death. I am not afraid of anything but Husband not wanting me anymore. Husband, don’t leave me behind! Don’t leave me behind!” Murong Yan cried sorrowfully as she hugged Old Mister Guan Qi.
“No!” Old Mister Guan Qi roared in despair.
Whoosh!
The entrance to the chaotic spacetime completely closed.
“No!”
Jiang Lianshan also let out a roar of despair.
Despite the heavenly deity body’s strength, only a skeleton remained by the time he dragged himself out of the chaotic spacetime with Long Shenwu’s bloodline to guide him. Old Mister Guan Qi’s Go Dao was incredible, but Old Mister Guan Qi’s strength was not at its peak. It was over for Old Mister Guan Qi and Murong Yan.
In the end, Murong Yan preferred to die with Old Mister Guan Qi than live with me.
Before Long Zhanguo openly opposed heaven, he had Gu Hai give Jiang Lianshan a sachet and deliver a message. Back then, Jiang Lianshan had not thought much of it. Now, those words repeatedly echoed in his heart like a demonic curse.
Murong Yan embroidered it for you back then. Her heart had not changed, but you were not worthy of her. Did her heart change after one reincarnation? Even if she reincarnated ten times, she would not have chosen you. Guan Qi could even point his sword at the Six Paths Immortal for her. What about you?
You were not worthy of her!
Guan Qi could even point his sword at the Six Paths Immortal for her. What about you?
What about you?
What about you?
Long Zhanguo’s words endlessly repeated in Jiang Lianshan’s heart.
Jiang Lianshan burst into tears as he roared, “What about me? What about me? Hah! Hah! Hahahahahaha! Guan Qi could point his sword at the Six Paths Immortal for her. Long Zhanguo could war against the Six Paths Immortal for her! What about me? What about me?!”
That sachet had appeared in his hand at some point in time—the sachet Murong Yan had embroidered for him. Back then, her heart was set on him. Even when she went undercover in the Qian Heavenly Dynasty, she did not forget him, embroidering a sachet for him.
“Hah! Am I not worthy? Am I not worthy?” Jiang Lianshan roared sorrowfully in tears.
“Your Holy Eminence, hurry! It’s going to be too late!” the Scarlet Emperor shouted from the door of time.
The Three Lives Buddhas and Ji Dihong watched from the door of time. Jiang Lianshan seemed to have gone mad with sorrow.
“We are not leaving. You all go. We must take revenge for Yan`er. Give us your energy. Just give us all your final energy. You may go, but we want your energy!” Jiang Lianshan roared.
Not leaving?
The Flame Monarch’s expression changed.
Gu Hai’s face sank. He shook his head when he saw Jiang Lianshan’s crazed look. Then, he stepped into the door of time.
“Give me! Give me!” Jiang Lianshan roared.
“Hah!”
The Flame Monarch spat out a fiery-red pearl.
“Your Holy Eminence, this is the source of all my energy. You can have it!” After spitting out the pearl, the Flame Monarch slumped over before flying into the door of time.
The door of time continued to shrink.
At this moment, Ji Dihong and the Three Lives Buddhas narrowed their eyes. None of them lent their energy to Jiang Lianshan. The Scarlet Emperor and the White Emperor wanted to say something, but Ji Dihong raised his hand and stopped the two.
The group vanished into the depths of the door of time. Slowly, the door of time disappeared, sending everyone back to eight hundred thousand years in the future.
“Hah! Hahahaha! We raised a bunch of ingrates. Hahaha! Why should we care about you? We are contented with just Yan`er. Argh!” Jiang Lianshan could make out Jiang Gautama and Ji Dihong’s coldness amid his pain. Feeling sorrow deep in his heart, he laughed bleakly, raised his Divine Farmer Hoe, and charged at the heavenly deity body.
The heavenly deity body clutched his head in pain as bright electric light sparked around him. The Metal Buddha’s image over his body faded and eventually vanished.
“Heaven, this humble monk is incapable!” the Metal Buddha said sorrowfully before leaving.
Boom!
Without the Metal Buddha restraining him, the heavenly deity body could move again. However, his head still felt incredibly painful, and boundless electricity raged around his body.
“Six Paths, die!” Jiang Lianshan roared as he charged forward.
“I’m going to kill you all! Hah!” The heavenly deity body attacked in a frenzy.
Boom!
Far away, Sect Master Supreme Ascendant was the only person with his memories intact. He eventually sighed softly as he watched Jiang Lianshan and the heavenly deity body fight to the death.
