Chapter 645: Finally Over

A scene slowly unfolded before Lu Hongchen and the Crimson Dust Saint.

One was an ordinary disciple of the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace, and the other was a top Tianjiao from the Heartless Sect.

The two sects were major rivals, practically sworn enemies.

The whole mess started because the founder of the Heartless Sect got lured away by someone from the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace, thinking he’d finally found happiness, only for that person to switch from ultimate emotion to forgetful emotion and unceremoniously kick him to the curb.

The Heartless Sect’s founder couldn’t take that blow!

So, he went on a furious training spree and eventually reached the level of a Great Emperor, dubbed the Great Emperor of Heartlessness.

Then, the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace’s Great Emperor came back to tell him that she truly realized her mistake and wanted to revert the Forgetful Emotion Dao back to the Ultimate Emotion Dao.

She explained that when she first met the Great Emperor of Heartlessness, she never imagined she’d fall for such a deeply loving person. But once she started cultivating, it was too late to have regrets.

She’d been searching for a way to swap the Forgetful Emotion Dao back for ages and finally found it.

She transformed her Dao back into the Ultimate Emotion Dao.

From then on, the two wouldn’t be separated again.

After listening to her sincere confession and seeing her tear-streaked face, the Great Emperor of Heartlessness’s heart softened, and he chose to forgive her.

Once they reconciled, they were indeed happy together and became the envy of everyone as a celebrated Great Emperor Dao couple.

But as fate would have it, what happened next was anything but expected.

The Great Emperor of Forgetful Emotion once again charmed the Great Emperor of Heartlessness, only to forget him again.

But that wasn’t the craziest part.

What was even more outrageous was that at this moment, the Great Emperor of Forgetful Emotion tried to ascend to the rank of Celestial Lord and failed, so she came back to the Great Emperor of Heartlessness to apologize again.

Mind-blowingly, he forgave her again.

Until this time, the Great Emperor of Forgetful Emotion switched back from Ultimate Emotion to Forgetful once more, and the Great Emperor of Heartlessness couldn’t take it anymore, swiftly taking the Great Emperor of Forgetful Emotion on the road together…

Hmm…

Such was the cycle of love and rivalry.

After this incident, the reputation of the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace took a nosedive.

And the Heartless Sect founded by the Great Emperor of Heartlessness became bitterly opposed to the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace.

The Heartless Sect called the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace a bunch of seducers and peddlers.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace retaliated by calling the Heartless Sect nothing but clueless fools.

In such a background, when the two sects crossed paths, if there wasn’t an all-out brawl, that was already an act of restraint.

Amidst this chaos, when the Heartless Sect’s senior sister Ding Wanwan first laid eyes on the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord, she felt her heart skip a beat.

They were like magnets, irresistibly drawn to each other.

Their love faced overwhelming opposition, and it seemed like the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace had the upper hand, yet they still disagreed with the match.

The Heartless Sect went completely bonkers over it.

In spite of all this, the two were head over heels for each other.

Love is love!

The hardships they endured were truly grueling.

But neither of them ever complained; they encouraged and comforted one another.

All their struggles were borne individually, and all their scars healed gradually with mutual support.

Is there such a thing as true love in this world?

If anyone doubts it, just look at Ding Wanwan and the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord, and they will know that true love indeed exists.

Against everyone’s wishes, they married.

The two continued to cultivate together in the realm of cultivation.

Until Ding Wanwan passed away.

At that time, the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord had lost all will to live.

But he couldn’t accept it; he wanted to resurrect her. The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord, who had been working tirelessly on his cultivation, pushed himself even harder, yet in the end, the departed would forever be lost, leaving only the living to suffer the endless pain of longing.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord transitioned from Ultimate Emotion to Forgetful Emotion.

Forgetfulness means that the more love there was, the stronger the forgetting became.

And it was indeed powerful—his rival, the Great Emperor who had been entangled with the Great Emperor of Heartlessness all his life, never became a Celestial Lord, yet the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord easily ascended to the rank of Celestial Lord.

He thought he’d forgotten his wife’s love.

Until a glimmer of hope appeared, and that forgotten love burst forth like a blazing fire.

Even at the level of Celestial Lord, the Forgetful Emotion Dao couldn’t make him forget that love, only suppress it.

If the Forgetful Emotion Dao wavered even slightly, that deeply suppressed love would unleash an even greater force.

All alone, the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord valiantly fought with the whole of the Forgetful Emotion Dao.

Everything unfolded before the two.

Lu Hongchen fell silent.

The Crimson Dust Saint also fell silent.

What happened with the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord made both of them realize, each person’s emotions are uniquely splendid.

If you believe your emotions are the most precious, there are still others whose emotions are even more valuable.

Lu Hongchen looked at the Crimson Dust Saint.

He opened his arms.

“Qing’er!”

The Crimson Dust Saint’s eyes turned red.

At that moment, she was filled with grievances.

Lu Hongchen embraced the Crimson Dust Saint.

“Let it go!”

The Crimson Dust Saint… no, perhaps in this moment she should be called Lu Qing, because she was never just the Crimson Dust Saint to Lu Hongchen, but always that little girl he had once protected.

Without saying a word, Lu Hongchen gently stroked her long hair.

Yet, all unspoken words seemed contained within that silence.

“Brother, I understand now,” Lu Qing whispered.

At that moment, a sea of crimson light began to flow back.

At that moment, the River of Time started to flow backward.

The deceased Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord reappeared.

As the crimson light receded, all time returned to its previous state.

Until finally, the crimson light gently brushed over Lu Ye.

One Lu Ye appeared, then two, three, four…

Deceased Lu Yes began to materialize one after another, while Lu Hongchen’s figure rapidly disintegrated into ashes.

The Crimson Dust Saint let out a soft sigh, a sound that seemed to carry a sense of relief.

Her figure vanished.

Eight Lu Yes opened their eyes simultaneously.

They gazed at the scene before them.

He realized.

Ah, he was alive again.

Just like in his previous life, Lu Ye wasn’t entirely sure why he had come back to life, but he was certain that Lu Hongchen played a crucial role in it.

“Finally, it’s over!”

Lu Ye let out a long sigh of relief.

Truth be told, he really wasn’t fond of what had happened in the River of Time because it was the first time he faced a complete Saint.

There was nothing he could do against the Saint’s actions.

The gap was just too wide.

Even the Invincible Sword Lord, a World-Shaking Powerhouse, could end up dead facing the Crimson Dust Saint.

Unless the Invincible Sword Lord after becoming a Saint returned to this world to confront the Crimson Dust Saint head-on.

But that was a storyline he had to face since his reincarnation.

Fortunately, in the end, everything had finally come to a close.
