After Xu Yao and Chen Xiang left, Chen Changsheng smiled and said,
“It’s the first time being a father to someone, and then watching my son get married. This feeling is quite strange.”
“Yes!”
“Watching my daughter marry someone else, this feeling is indeed strange.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng stared fixedly at Xu Hu, and the smile on his face faded.
Seeing this, Xu Hu said helplessly, “Sir, please don’t pressure me. We made a pact regarding this matter long ago, and I can’t tell you.”
“Even if you k*ll me, I still won’t tell you.”
Looking into Xu Hu’s serious eyes, Chen Changsheng sighed and said, “I really don’t understand why you don’t want to tell me.”
“Do you really doubt my strength this much?”
“I’ve already taken over the Four Directions Continent, so even if future enemies are a hundred times stronger than the Four Directions Continent, what’s the difference?”
“I, Chen Changsheng, am confident that I can defeat them. You can’t possibly not believe in my abilities.”
“I certainly believe in you, sir, but how long would it take for you to defeat future enemies?”
“Ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or a million years?”
“You, sir, are the most carefree person in the world, yet you have been bogged down by mundane matters for tens of thousands of years.”
“We don’t want you to be trapped any longer.”
Upon hearing Xu Hu’s words, Chen Changsheng fell silent.
Seeing this, Xu Hu continued, “Master Huaiyu has returned not only to gather reinforcements, but also to convey a few messages from Emperor Huangtian and the others.”
“They didn’t have the face to tell you these words directly, so I have to convey them.”
“They say that meeting you in this life is their greatest fortune.”
“The path they are walking is their own choice, and they have no regrets even in d*ath.”
“But you, sir, need not clean up after their choices, nor do you have to pay the price for them.”
“In life, regardless of how bitter or difficult it is, there will eventually be an end. However, some matters placed upon you will be endless.”
“Thus, even if you resent them, they must sever the path leading to that place.”
After listening, the corners of Chen Changsheng’s mouth quivered, and he said, “A bunch of bastards, how do they know I don’t want to walk this path?”
“Xu Hu, tell me, do I want to walk this path? If I didn’t want to walk this path, why would I bother building the foundation I have today?”
In response to Chen Changsheng’s words, Xu Hu calmly replied, “Sir, your ambitions have never been for the world, but only for the people around you.”
“In the War of Gods, you fought to protect your home. In the Ascension Road War, you sought revenge for Emperor Huangtian and the others.”
“In the New Era War and the Reincarnation War, you fought to protect the world left by the Demon Emperor.”
“In the current war over the Four Directions Continent, you are laying a strong foundation for us.”
“From start to finish, sir, you have never sought anything for yourself; you have always been supporting others.”
“Zhang Zhen bearing the Heavenly Mandate was destined to happen, and the development of the Heavenly Court has reached new heights.”
“Sir, it’s time for you to rest and become that carefree person in the world once again.”
“Ha~”
Gently exhaling, Chen Changsheng smiled faintly and said, “I also want to be that carefree person, but once certain experiences are undergone, one cannot return.”
“Xu Hu understands that letting you set these aside is tantamount to killing you.”
“Therefore, we made a selfish decision: this time, we will take everyone with us when we leave.”
“After we depart, we will sever all connections and paths that can lead to us.”
“Only in this way can you become that world’s number one carefree person again.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng clenched his fists.
“You’ve really grown wings, daring to speak to me like this.”

Hearing this, Xu Hu stood and deeply bowed to Chen Changsheng, saying,
“Sir, please take care of yourself going forward.”
Watching Xu Hu bow, Chen Changsheng’s eyes turned a bit red.
“Let it go, let it go.”
“You all have your own paths to walk.”
“Ma Ling’er, Su You, the ghostly brothers and sisters, and Jian Fei will stay behind to guard the home.”
“As the Heavenly Court’s systems gradually stabilize, there won’t be any major changes for the next hundred thousand years.”
“After a hundred thousand years, those who should d*e will d*e, those who should leave will leave, and I myself will have no attachments.”
“Thank you, sir!”
Xu Hu bowed once more, and Chen Changsheng stood up and departed.
…
One thousand one hundred fifty years after the great war.
The Blade Emperor reached the Ninth Rank of the Immortal King, with only a step left to bear the Heavenly Mandate.
The Book Sage Su You, the Sword Immortal Xu Yao, and the Swordsman Chen Xiang…
All the young talents personally visited, but those who went through the process had no way of knowing,
All they knew was that when these young talents returned, they all spoke highly of the Blade Emperor’s unmatched skill.
But according to historical records, one night, a mysterious person quietly visited Zhang Zhen.
The person bore a three-tenths resemblance to Nalan Ziping, and Zhang Zhen’s residence definitely showed remnants of battle.
It is said that the person was originally capable of defeating Zhang Zhen, but for some unknown reason, they gave up at a crucial moment.
At the same time, a duel began between the swordsman A Fei and the Swordsman Chen Xiang.
The two exchanged techniques, and in the end, Chen Xiang relinquished her sword and left laughing, acknowledging that Jian Fei was indeed the rightful leader of swordsmanship.
…
In the 1500th year.
The Blade Emperor bore the Heavenly Mandate, and moreover, he bore the mandates of two realms.
Once the Blade Emperor simultaneously bore the mandates of two realms, the Four Directions Continent and Eight Desolates Nine Domains began to slowly draw closer, appearing to be on the verge of merging into a single realm.
This miraculous situation had never been recorded in history.
However, this significant event was overshadowed by another event occurring at that time.
The Undertaker sought to k*ll, targeting the Reincarnation Lord who had desperately saved him.
When this news spread, the world was in an uproar.
Everyone knew that when the Undertaker was trapped, the Reincarnation Lord had risked his life to save him.
In the attack on the Four Directions Continent, the Reincarnation Lord was also indispensable.
Yet, it was precisely this indispensable minister whom the Undertaker killed.
Without any explanation or reasoning, the Undertaker and the Blade Emperor teamed up to slay the Reincarnation Lord.
That battle shook the heavens and the earth, blinding the sun and moon, and in the end, the Undertaker borrowed an ancient and unadorned long sword to k*ll the Reincarnation Lord.
Despite the occurrence of this event, people did not dare to speak openly, yet secretly they all referred to the Undertaker as a butcher.
…
Void.
“Ow, that hurt like hell.”
“You’re about to d*e anyway, why not just let me k*ll you properly?”
“Why put me through this hassle? You almost broke my bones.”
While healing his wounds, Chen Changsheng complained, as Fu Yao lay quietly in the void.
