Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 514 - 507: This Affection, Can It Await the Fading of Memory?
The Great Immortal Governor has left.
He left after completely exterminating the God race. No one knows where the Great Immortal Governor went.
Everyone only knows one thing: the God race's Heavenly Emperor Feng Huan had touched the Great Immortal Governor's reverse scale.
In a fit of rage, the Great Immortal Governor not only annihilated the God race but also nailed the God race's Heavenly Emperor Feng Huan stark naked in the sky above Heavenly God City, using Law Flame to burn his Divine Soul.
Just hearing about the Law Flame is enough to feel its terror.
Even an Immortal Emperor may not necessarily be able to summon Law Flame.
Yet the Great Immortal Governor of the Immortal Court, Ding Huan, not only summoned Law Flame but also deployed a Great Array to incinerate Divine Souls.
The incineration array set up by the Great Immortal Governor Ding Huan was particularly meticulous, neither burning Feng Huan to death nor allowing Feng Huan to leave the burning flame even for a breath.
This kind of torture is beyond what anyone can endure.
Anyone who came near Heavenly God City could hear Feng Huan's miserable wails.
Although the Immortal Court reclaimed the territory of the God race, due to the situation with Feng Huan, Heavenly God City became a ghost town; nobody wanted to live there.
The Dragon Clan, already in a precarious state, was completely terrified upon hearing about the fate of the God race.
The Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan personally went to the Immortal Court to seek reconciliation, abolishing the Dragon Clan's Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan's territory.
The Dragon Clan, just like before, became a race within the Pangu Great World, entirely under the management of the Human Tribe Immortal Court.
Because of this, the Dragon Clan became the only race to survive the great war. Moreover, due to the Immortal Court's resources aligned with the Great Dao, the Dragon Clan has instead prospered.
...
Chaos Zone.
There are all kinds of races here, including some who have committed crimes or fled from persecution.
When the five Heavenly Realms began their chaotic battle, more cultivators poured into the Chaos Zone.
Initially, most of those coming here were Human Tribe Cultivators.
The reason, of course, was the continual defeats of the Human Tribe, losing even the Great Immortal Domain.
Of the billion cultivators in the Great Immortal Domain, only a very few could go to the Immortal Court. Some died on the battlefield defending the Great Immortal Domain.
Others followed the Cultivator Army of the Immortal Court, hiding outside the Immortal Court.
More people came to the Chaos Zone, causing the number of Human Tribe Cultivators in the Chaos Zone to skyrocket.
After the Great Immortal Governor emerged, the Human Tribe army of the Immortal Court gained the upper hand and began reclaiming lost territory.
Human Tribe cultivators in the Great Immortal Domain gradually flourished as the Demon Clan and the Demon Race began frantically fleeing to the Chaos Zone.
This is how Myriad Races City slowly developed.
The predecessor of Myriad Races City was just a small workshop of scattered cultivators from various races banding together.
As more cultivators crowded into the Chaos Zone, survival in the Chaos Zone became increasingly difficult, drawing more people to gather in this little workshop.
The small workshop couldn't accommodate the growing number of cultivators pouring in.
Finally, with the joint effort of five Luo Tian Immortals, Myriad Races City was built.
Two of the five Luo Tian Immortals are Human Tribe, one Witch Clan cultivator, one Demon Clan cultivator, and one Black Abyss Clan cultivator.
The Witch Clan's old nest is somewhere within the Chaos Zone, but not every Witch Clan cultivator wants to live with their clan.
Cao Ying, of Myriad Races City, is one of those who didn't stay with his clan. He is at the late Luo Tian Immortal stage, and his body has reached seventy percent of the Immortal Body. In Myriad Races City, he is considered one of the strongest.
However, he had different ideals from the Witch Clan. Insisting on following his heart, he angered the Clan Leader and was expelled from the Witch Clan.
Cao Ying then organized a new city with like-minded individuals—Myriad Races City.
Though cultivators from various races continue to flee to the Chaos Zone, Myriad Races City has remained relatively peaceful.
After all, finding such a stable haven in the Chaos Zone is rare, and the five City Lords of Myriad Races City get along reasonably well.
Great Rest Building.
One of the notable rest buildings in Myriad Races City, known for its reasonable prices and strong background, discouraging anyone from causing trouble.
Most cultivators coming to Myriad Races City prefer to rest or stay at the Great Rest Building.
As numerous cultivators gather here, it has also become a place to gather information.
Like usual, the first floor of the Great Rest Building is packed with people.
Drinking tea or wine here are cultivators from various races.
The first city rule of Myriad Races City is that there is no racial distinction upon arrival, so no one will be attacked regardless of their race.
A group of cultivators from different races bragging about their vast experiences while drinking inferior Immortal Spirit Wine.
Compared to Immortal Sect disciples, the greatest advantage of loose cultivators is their freedom; they can say whatever they want.
Even if there are Human Tribe, Demon Race, Demon Clan, God race, and other races here.
In this place, anyone can freely comment and criticize without angering others over disparaging remarks about their race.
The conversations here span various topics freely and without reservations.
"The Demon Race and Demon Clan were so arrogant, almost wiped out the Immortal Court. Now what? They directly got exterminated."
"That's normal. I always said, even if the Human Tribe declines temporarily, it will quickly thrive again. Since the inception of Pangu Great World, hasn't it always been like this?"
"Haha, you're nearly right about that. If the Great Immortal Governor hadn't emerged, the Immortal Court would indeed have been destroyed."
"This Great Immortal Governor, Ding Huan, is he really that powerful?"
The Great Immortal Governor's strength isn't just talked about. Do you know Feng Huan, the God race's Heavenly Emperor?"
This guy thought he was invincible, nailed the Great Immortal Governor's Dao Companion Qi Xinyue outside Heavenly God City. You know what happened after that?"
"What happened?"
The Great Immortal Governor Ding Huan was enraged. He led the Immortal Court army to annihilate the God race, slaughtering them completely. It's said even an ant from the God race didn't survive."
"So ruthless..."
"Ruthless? You know what happened to Feng Huan? He was stripped bare and nailed outside Heavenly God City, burned by Law Flame, wailing day and night. Now that's ruthless."
...
Hearing this, all the cultivators around shivered instinctively, not daring to speak.
Even though conversations are unrestricted here, they still fear offending the Great Immortal Governor accidentally.
At this moment, two women sat in the corner of the Great Rest Building.
Amidst the discussions, one woman remained silent.
"Zhixi, the Great Immortal Governor Ding Huan they talk about, is he the same Ding Huan who crossed the billion Void Swamp with you? The one who saved me?"
The older woman raised her hand to set up a sound-proof barrier, asking softly.
The silent woman nodded, still not speaking.
Evidently, the two women were Wen Zhixi and her mother Wu Wanting who escaped from the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect.
"How does Ding Huan have a Dao Companion? Didn't you know about this?" Wu Wanting asked again, puzzled.
Wen Zhixi shook her head again: "I didn't know. He never mentioned this when we were together."
"Zhixi, we should leave the Chaos Zone and go to the Immortal Domain to find him. You like him, and he must be heartbroken now. You should be by his side."
"Mother, I..."
"You're just shy. If you like Ding Huan, why not go find him? When your father liked me, he stuck to me like glue every day."
"But..."
"No buts. Ding Huan rescued you from the billion Void Swamp, didn't covet your special Dao Body, and even used the Immortal Quan Flower to save me. Where else can you find such a person?"
"Mother, there's nothing personal between him and me, plus he has a Dao Companion."
"His Dao Companion is in trouble now. You should go to him quickly."
Wen Zhixi remained silent and didn't reply this time.
"Do you like him?" Wu Wanting, angered by her daughter's timidness, asked.
"I... like him..." Wen Zhixi struggled to say, knowing she couldn't hide it from her mother.
But liking someone and actually making a move are two different things for a woman.
Wu Wanting snorted: "If you like him, go find him. The universe is vast, and you know how far you've traveled to get here from where you and Ding Huan came.
If Ding Huan leaves one day, where will you look for him? You could excuse it before because of me, but now that I'm fine, why hesitate to find him?"
"Mother, I rescued you with just a residual soul. With Brother Ding's ability, don't you think he can save his Dao Companion? How will he act if I go?"
...
This time, Wu Wanting fell silent.
Having spent so long with her daughter, often hearing her talk about Ding Huan, she felt she understood Ding Huan's character well. Even though she hadn't met him.
If Ding Huan really saved Qi Xinyue, her daughter's presence would indeed put him in a difficult position.
Given Ding Huan's ability to lead her daughter out of the billion Void Swamp and cross the Gray Sea, saving a woman with a physical body is hardly difficult.
Moreover, Ding Huan is practically the number one figure of the Human Tribe. It's said he rescued the Emperor Xing Pan himself and supported him.
Put simply, Ding Huan could even become Heavenly Emperor, let alone save a woman.
After a long silence, Wu Wanting sighed: "Since you don't want to make things difficult for him, let's stay in the Chaos Zone for now. After some time, you should strive to reach the Luo Tian Immortal stage.
In the future, when your cultivation is stronger, perhaps you can help him a bit. Even if you can't be his Dao Companion, you shouldn't forget his kindness."
"Plop, plop..."
Wen Zhixi couldn't say a word, her tears falling uncontrollably.
This sentiment is unforgettable; it's only regret from that moment on.
Watching her daughter, Wu Wanting stroked her hair gently: "I'm sorry, Zhixi. This is my fault."
If it weren't for her, her daughter wouldn't have joined the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect. Had her daughter stayed with Ding Huan, they would inevitably end up together.
Moreover, she was certain her daughter couldn't find another man like Ding Huan. That's why she felt she had wasted her daughter's chance.
...
The Cosmic Pot had already appeared above Ban Ting Sea.
Ding Huan gently stroked the Jade Coffin. The Qi Xinyue inside had already been dressed in her old Earth attire by Ding Huan.
Now, except for her pale face, she looked as if she were alive.
If possible, he would give anything to save Qi Xinyue.
He still had a drop of Qi Xinyue's heart blood. But what use was it?
Qi Xinyue's Divine Soul was utterly annihilated. Not even a Dao ancestor could help, let alone him.
Ding Huan's thoughts seemed to drift back to that boundless starry sky.
Under that starry sky with no future and no direction, it was Qi Xinyue who always stayed by his side.
They cultivated together, gazed at the starry sky together, and melted each other's loneliness...
The promises Qi Xinyue had made were all fulfilled.
The promises he made to Qi Xinyue were also clear, but he failed to fulfill them.
