Chapter 640: Fool, You’re Old

Charge! Charge! Charge!

Five supreme beams of light pierced through the River of Time.

These were the five most powerful Celestial Lords recorded by the River of Time, each capable of going toe-to-toe with a Saint.

They could even push a Saint to the brink at one point.

Following closely were the second tier of Celestial Lords, and Lu Ye was among them, his speed impressive.

At a specific point in time…

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord didn’t lift his gaze; he was simply holding the gentle woman in his arms.

The woman trembled at the sound of a loud noise.

“Husband, what’s happening?” she asked, a hint of panic in her voice.

“No worries, don’t be concerned; it’s probably a strong person battling, and others will handle it,” the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord said soothingly.

“Is that so…”

Her expression suggested she had more to say but held back.

“Husband.”

“Wanwan, it’s fine, don’t be scared.”

“No, Husband, you’re a strong person too, right?” the woman asked.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord paused for a moment. “No, I’m not a strong person; I’m just a coward.”

His mouth was covered by Ding Wanwan.

“Husband is not a coward!”

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord’s eyes sparkled with laughter.

He actually wanted to say, how could I not be? Just because Ding Wanwan kept him alive, he didn’t dare to follow his Dao Companion and instead chose to survive by forgetting his feelings, barely scraping by in this world. What else could that be but cowardice?

“Husband, you came from the future, didn’t you?” Ding Wanwan’s question had a tone of certainty despite being phrased as a question.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord was taken aback.

“No, I’m just me right now!”

“Husband, you forget, you can’t lie in front of me; I can see through every lie, you’re so silly!”

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord…

Ding Wanwan gently held the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord’s face, looking quietly at him, her eyes reddening.

“Fool, you’re old.”

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord…

He looked exactly like his younger self, that smile on his face as sunny as before.

But the moment Ding Wanwan laid eyes on him, she knew—the person in front of her was from the future.

Because why would a perfectly fine person look this aged?

How much suffering must he have gone through?

So, putting on an act of not noticing, she gently comforted the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord’s heart.

“Can you tell me what will happen in the future? I want to know.” Ding Wanwan wiped her tears and smiled through her sadness.

She really didn’t want to cry; he would surely feel heartbroken if she did.

But she felt heartbroken for him too!

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord shook his head.

“No need to explore the future; just stay in the present, stay in this moment.”

Deep down, the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord hoped that the Crimson Dust Saint would succeed because then he could be with his Wanwan eternally.

Even without any consciousness.

Before losing consciousness, as long as he knew Wanwan was by his side, that was enough.

“Let me guess, I will gain your Master’s approval?” Ding Wanwan chuckled.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord remained silent.

“We will hold another Dao Companion ceremony with everyone’s blessings?”

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord stayed quiet.

“We will have a child!”

“Do you want a boy or a girl?”

“I think you definitely want a daughter because if we have a daughter, she’ll surely look like me, a mini me. If it’s a daughter, will you love her more than you love me?”

“I want a son because if we have a son, he’ll definitely look like you. You’re so cute even now! If I give you a son, he’ll be a little you, and that would melt my heart!”

“But don’t worry, I won’t love my son more than I love you because I love you the most!”

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord couldn’t help but lift his head and gaze at the sky.

“Looks like I’m dead!”

Ding Wanwan couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret and sadness.

After all, no one wants to die, especially when they’re happy.

But even if dead, she should be dying happily, right?

Look at that; her Dao Companion came from the future to see her. Could she not be happy?

“You’ll be very sad if I die; no wonder you’ve aged this much. Did I not tell you to take good care of yourself? And yet, you age like this? Why don’t you listen?” Ding Wanwan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, her tone turning fierce.

“I… I’ve been living well…” the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord finally spoke, his voice carrying a hint of grievance.

“Then tell me, how have you been living well?” Ding Wanwan wasn’t swayed by his grievance and asked with a raised brow.

“After you died, I wanted to revive you, but I wasn’t strong enough, so I trained like crazy. When I finally had the power to bring you back, I found that though that person possessed your soul, she was no longer you.”

“Even if I implanted your memories into that person’s soul, she wasn’t you. I didn’t know what to do! I thought about you all the time; it was so painful. I wanted to follow you, but you made me promise to live well. Every day was unbearable for me.”

“I had no choice; I could only transform the Ultimate Emotion Dao into the Forgetful Emotion Dao, thinking that if I forgot you, everything would get better. In that case, I could honor your wish and live well.”

“I really forgot you, and I even became the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord, the top existence in the world.”

“Until I heard about time reversal, everything I forgot came rushing back. As long as there’s a glimmer of hope, you’d perfectly appear in my heart. I couldn’t forget, I just couldn’t!”

“Now I’m searching for every possible way to go back to the past, to save you. Even if I can’t become an Emperor, who cares? I don’t want to be some ridiculous Great Emperor or Celestial Lord; none of those could hold a candle to even a single hair of yours.”

“Wanwan, I miss you so much; I’ve always been thinking of you…”

A terrifying roar echoed within the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord’s body.

The Forgetful Emotion Dao rapidly collapsed at that moment; blood flowed from his seven orifices as his strength plummeted from Celestial Lord realm back to Emperor Realm, and kept sliding down.

He didn’t care at all; what mattered to him was never his cultivation level.

What mattered to him was, from beginning to end, his Dao Companion.

He truly wanted this moment to last forever!
