Chapter 133: Final Chapter.

“Alright. Let’s go together and return together.”

With these resounding words, Qi Ci declared his determination to Heaven and Earth. With absolutely no remorse whatsoever.

After saying that, Qi Ci let go of Bian Zhonghua’s embrace, reached out his hand for Bian Zhonghua to hold, and squeezed it tightly. The two of them looked at each other with determination, then looked towards the twisted crack in the air.

Then, the two of them walked towards the crack. As they approached, a sudden force emanated from the opening, drawing them towards it. Without hesitation, Bian Zhonghua held Qi Ci tightly in his arms.

After a brief moment of disorientation, Bian Zhonghua finally managed to stabilize his body, ending up suspended in mid-air.

Unlike the fresh air of Mount Dushuo, the Ghost Domain was filled with the stench of blood as terrifying laughter echoed from all around.

The two looked down, only to find a sea of blood churning beneath their feet, with hideous and ferocious demons, with sharp fangs and claws, fighting and roaring at each other within the sea of blood. The sea of blood was surrounded by crimson walls, leaving this space nowhere to escape to, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

‘Was Qi Ci supposed to endure 900 years in a place like this?’

Bian Zhonghua was both shocked and distressed. Right when he was about to say something, the Evil Spirits in the sea of blood noticed their arrival and immediately let out a strange roar. It was as if they were mocking them as they moved in to attack them!

Qi Ci reacted almost instantly, conjuring a pillar of water in the palm of his hand, which he then turned into ice blades that he used to pierce the Evil Spirits rushing towards them.

However, now that Qi Ci no longer possessed the Dragon bone inside him, and it had been far too long since he had made use of his water incantations, it became difficult for him to control his ability for a while. For that very reason, even though the blade of the ice blades aimed to stab at the Evil Spirits, it became very easy for them to dodge.

The Evil Spirit roared and rushed at Qi Ci. However, a glowing sword appeared out of nowhere in mid-air and cut the Evil Spirit in half with no mercy whatsoever.

Qi Ci was taken aback and even turned to look at Bian Zhonghua who had a grating expression and a calm pose.

Bian Zhonghua said with a smile: “What? Has my little Gongzi become impressed by my skills and handsomeness?”

Bian Zhonghua’s words were clearly said teasingly, but to his surprise, Qi Ci nodded with great seriousness.

Because of that, Bian Zhonghua felt a little embarrassed and even coughed slightly to make it less awkward.

Before they could finish their conversation, hundreds of Evil Spirits emerged from the sea of blood and rushed towards them. Looking at this scene from above, it could be seen that the blood-stained Evil Spirits were gathering densely, soaring through the air towards where they were. At that moment, a strange sound of bones crashing together could be heard, at the same time as the Evil Spirits could be seen pouncing on top of one another, with the apparent intention of engulfing and tearing them apart.

Bian Zhonghua summoned his sword of silver glowing light and turned it into a long sword. Meanwhile, Qi Ci re-solidified a pillar of water into sharp blades of ice. Bian Zhonghua couldn’t help but laugh and said: “Little Gongzi, you never mentioned to me that the Evil Spirits of this Ghost Domain would be so welcoming.”

Qi Ci, for his part, was in no mood to joke. So he simply warned him with concern: “You should be careful.”

Bian Zhonghua, who wasn’t afraid, laughed out loud, “Me? Be careful? They should be the ones to watch out for!”

After saying that, the silver longsword emanated a golden glow, slashing several Evil Spirits one after another. Qi Ci hurried to recite an incantation, sending the ice blades to follow the glowing sword up close, firmly nailing the Evil Spirits against the crimson stone wall.

It was an incredibly long and bloody battle. But in the end, only a few Evil Spirits remained. As wounded as they were, the eyes of these Evil Spirits were stained with blood, so their vision and senses were blurred. Therefore, they chose to protect each other.

The only thing Qi Ci remembered at this point was holding the ice blade in his hand as he mercilessly stabbed the chest of the last Evil Spirit, which was biting Bian Zhonghua’s arm. In an instant, the Evil Spirit turned to dust, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.

The sea of blood continued to churn beneath their feet, and the crimson stone wall remained upright, hideous and terrifying. However, no matter what, none of them saw an Evil Spirit appear again.

Bian Zhonghua reached out and hugged Qi Ci tightly from the waist. Although his arm had clearly been bitten by the Evil Spirit and was bleeding nonstop, Bian Zhonghua refused to relax the force with which he hugged Qi Ci.

Then, the air around them began to distort, and a large crack opened up again. On the other side of the crack, they could see the tranquil lands of Mount Dushuo.

Bian Zhonghua put away his long sword of light and jumped with Qi Ci into the crack.

The next second, both fell to the ground and rolled several times in the grass. The black crack gradually closed, erasing all traces of its existence. Whether it had been a cruel fraud, or a sacrifice for the sake of the Human World, it had already disappeared without a trace.

‘Is it over?’ Qi Ci’s consciousness was still somewhat fuzzy, and as he breathed in the fresh air of Mount Dushuo, he thought to himself in a complete daze: ‘Is this how it all ends?’

‘Each of my older siblings were tormented for 900 years, locked in desolation in a place where they ended up meeting tragic deaths. And just like that, they all vanished and ceased to exist from this world, without leaving a single trace behind.’

Qi Ci’s eyes had suddenly turned red. Even when he had been attacked relentlessly by Evil Spirits moments ago, ending up with excruciating pain permeating his entire body, Qi Ci didn’t even frown. But now, when everything had calmed down, Qi Ci’s eyes filled with tears. Whether it was from happiness or sadness, even he couldn’t tell.

‘They selflessly sacrificed their entire lives, only for it to end so meaninglessly?’

“Little Gongzi.” Suddenly, a voice tinged with joy called out to him.

When Qi Ci looked up, he met Bian Zhonghua’s bright gaze.

Bian Zhonghua’s face was stained with blood, though it was impossible for Qi Ci to tell whether it was his or the Evil Spirits’. Bian Zhonghua smiled softly at Qi Ci, and in a somewhat faint but warm voice, as he had always been known to have, said: “To the West, where the Phoenixes reside on Pingding Mountain; to the East, where sea serpents abound in the depths of the blue sea; to the North, where the great desert where Yinglong awakened lies; or to the South, where Magpie Mountain stands proudly displaying its majestic beauty. Would you be willing to accompany me to discover them?”

Qi Ci suddenly choked, and his eyes turned red with tears one more time.

He thought: ‘What would have become of me after enduring 900 years in the Ghost Domain without Bian Zhonghua’s presence by my side?’

‘I probably would have become a demon upon discovering the truth about the death of my elder siblings. I would have succumbed to despair, burying myself in darkness along with the rest of the Evil Spirits in the Ghost Domain.’

‘But now, I can leave behind all the worries in my heart and swallow the pains of the past entirely.’

‘I am able to accomplish all of that, just by Bian Zhonghua’s simple question: would you be willing to go with me?’

‘To witness the vicissitudes of the Mortal World, the splendid night sky, and embrace the clouds at the peak of the mountains illuminated by the moonlight.’

‘How could I not want to?’

Qi Ci’s eyes curved into a smile, and as tears of joy fell from his eyes, he smiled at Bian Zhonghua and said: “Yes, let’s go together.”

After two peoples’ lives were wasted, one drowning in grief, while the other enduring hardship by the Naihe Bridge…..Finally, the two were able to meet again. 

From now on, the two of them will be able to walk together, side by side.

A love carved in their bones, two souls entwined together as one.
