Qing Ye’s death gave the Flower Realm a chance to breathe again, and it also announced the end of the calamity he had caused.
The demon race had paid a painful price for their ambition and greed. Ninety percent of the demon experts were from the Azure Dragon Race, the Nine-Headed Lion Race, the Golden Feather Race, the Phoenix Bird Race, and other large demon races.
It was all because he had fused with the so-called immortal seed back then and became a ‘tree person’ in this calamity, becoming a sacrifice for the ritual.
The various demons instantly fell from their former altar into the abyss.
The strength of the race was less than ten percent, and they could not even compare to some ordinary demons.
Of course, the human Holy Lands had also suffered heavy losses. When the various Holy Lands fought the demons, they had lost at least half of their combat strength. As for their wealth, it was even greater.
Although the calamity was over, the scars left behind in this world needed time to heal.
Fortunately, life was like wild grass. Even if it had been burnt by a fire, there would definitely be fresh grass and flowers everywhere one day.
Furthermore, those who had experienced this calamity and walked through the gates of hell seemed to understand the meaning of life better. The cowardly understood courage, while the narrow-minded became calm.
The joy of surviving the calamity temporarily dispersed the pain and gloom in people’s hearts, allowing more people to see the beauty of the sun and believe in miracles.
“Qingyun, Caiwei, I was foolish back then. Although I can’t make up for my mistake now, I still want to apologize to the two of you!” Perfected Qing Xiao said sincerely before bowing deeply.
Perfected Qing Xiao felt guilty towards Li Qingyun and Gu Caiwei from the bottom of his heart.
Furthermore, judging from the current situation, as the master of the Flower Realm, Gu Caiwei had the ability and opportunity to destroy the entire human Holy Land countless times.
However, she did not do that, even though the various Holy Lands treated her as a flower demon and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Perfected Taiqing had a complicated expression. He wanted to step forward and say something, but he could not say it in the end.
No one knew that he had once encountered Gu Caiwei in the past and fallen in love with that indescribably beautiful, kind, and lively woman.
It was a pity that he was not as brave as Li Qingyun and dared to express his love.
He was not as lucky as Li Qingyun to win Gu Caiwei’s heart.
Furthermore, he had just become the Holy Lord at the time and cherished his status more than Li Qingyun. He hid all his feelings, so no one knew his true feelings for Gu Caiwei.
It was also because of this that he was jealous of Li Qingyun for daring to love and hate. He was jealous that Li Qingyun could experience a passionate love with Gu Caiwei. He was jealous that Li Qingyun was braver and more carefree than him.
Therefore, he was blinded by greed and agreed to the Divine Firmament Holy Land’s request to frame Gu Caiwei and eliminate her.
He did kill her in name, but because of his personal feelings, he chose to capture her and suppress her in the Demon Sealing Tower.
Everything was karma. Perhaps it was not as bad as back then. Perhaps the Holy Land being more tolerant of Gu Caiwei back then would not make her hostile and wary of the Holy Land.
He would not allow Qing Ye to take advantage of the Holy Land’s reputation to destroy the entire Immortal Martial World.
Everything that happened today was karma. Everyone had suffered the karma they had planted in the past.
Perfected Taiqing could only choose to seal all his emotions in his heart forever, even though he now knew that Gu Caiwei was not a demon but a flower god.
“You guys can leave!” Gu Caiwei said sadly.
She did not want to hear apologies, nor did she need them to apologize. She only wanted to stay here alone and guard the home that Qing Ye had exchanged his life for.
“Let’s leave!” Perfected Tian Hui said. He knew that it was unnecessary to say anything now. They could only bear their own fruits and heal their own wounds.
“Caiwei!” Li Qingyun wanted to stay behind and accompany Gu Caiwei. He knew that Qing Ye’s death must have been a huge blow to her.
“You should leave too. Leave me alone!” Gu Caiwei said.
Li Qingyun nodded and did not say anything else. He followed everyone out of the Flower Realm.
After leaving the Flower Realm, everyone parted ways. There was a lot of mess to deal with, and they did not have the time to sigh.
Dao Yanzi decided to return to the Immortal Domain first and report the situation here to the Primordial Dao Immortal Sect.
Meanwhile, Li Yu brought his junior brothers and followed Li Qingyun to the Qingyun Sect.
Li Qingyun remained silent along the way, and everyone’s hearts seemed heavy.
“Dad, you’re amazing!” Li Yu was the first to break the silence. He knew that his father must be feeling complicated, so he decided to comfort him.
“Of course not. If only I had half of your strength back then, so many tragic things wouldn’t have happened today!” Li Qingyun smiled bitterly.
“You want to help the Flower Realm, right?” Li Yu asked.
“Of course. If the Flower Realm is destroyed, your Aunt Caiwei will die. She has already died once in my life. I can’t see her die a second time!” Li Qingyun said with extreme melancholy.
“But if you have my strength, how do you plan to help her?” Li Yu asked.
“I heard from her that the Heaven Mending Stone and the power of the world’s origin can repair and reshape the Flower Realm! If you want to obtain the world’s origin, you need to reach the Holy Lord realm. Only then can you absorb the world’s origin energy from the Chaos Void and condense it into the true world’s origin. As for the Heaven Mending Stone, it’s something that can only be chanced upon by luck. It’s said that it once appeared in the crack of the Ten Worlds in the Chaotic Star Domain!” Li Qingyun explained.
