Chapter 1650: I Have Someone I Miss
Editor: Atlas Studios
Love often stirred hearts and enchanted souls.
Countless men and women dreamed of meeting the right person, walking together through every phase of life.
As ancient marriage vows once said: Like the phoenix and the dragon in harmony, may our hearts be forever united, growing old together, and sharing life and death.
Yet, in this world, some fates left the vows unbroken, but the messages undelivered.
Some people spent their entire lives lamenting the regrets of missed opportunities.
And so, one ferried across the God Blood River, with wedding robe growing old over millennia.
Another, lost in solitude, fell into madness, hiding their inner bitterness with laughter and curses, becoming a sword-wielding little person.
Immortal couples were ultimately a minority.
The vast majority of love was struggling bitterly in the vortex.
Those regrets of love that could not be obtained were like stars that could not be reached; they may have shone beautifully, but in the end, they faded into darkness.
He could only stay in the Immortal Palace in time and see that the curtains were still there. He mumbled that he owed someone in front of the hall.
Recalling last years day at that door, where human faces and peach blossoms reflected each others red...
With a light sigh, I thought of the one I missed, separated in a distant land.
Bitterly, I felt the matters of the heart, tangled deep within.
These people and matters were self-evident.
It was indeed the harshness of the east wind, and the fleeting joy of affection, a heart full of sorrow, and years of separation.
Mistake, mistake, mistake.
As the peach blossoms fell, in the idle pavilion, though the vows remained, the messages were undelivered.
Do not, do not, do not.
But... the river of time had two ends, and the path of reincarnation had its cycles.
What one could not forget ultimately echoed back.
That sentence on the God Blood River caused waves.
Youre back.
The face of the person had disappeared, yet the peach blossoms still smiled in the spring breeze.
While things had remained the same, the people had changed; yet, coming with the spring wind was the figure that had lived in memory.
After millennia of waiting, the long-awaited reunion had finally occurred outside of time.
The bond that had been severed on one side of time had been restored today by Xu Qing, who had walked on the other side of time.
These past years, I often thought... meeting someone who stirs your heart is a kind of fate, and even more, a kind of fortune.
Fairy Spirit Phoenix looked at the Young Lord, whispering softly.
The winds of space-time outside had formed a storm, turning into a vortex, while inside, they lifted strands of Fairy Spirit Phoenixs hair, each thread telling a tale of longing.
Brilliant grains of times sand fell, swirling around the Young Lord and Spirit Phoenix.
From a distance, this moment within the vast waves looked like a dream, unreal yet vivid.
Back then, we didnt finish our wedding ceremony... In the midst of the catastrophe, my father came to take us away.
You, using the fact that we had not completed the wedding vows, that we werent yet officially husband and wife, refused to leave with my father. You said that because I hadnt written my name in the marriage contract, you didnt want to burden me.
So, you chose to stay behind, to repay the debt in your fathers place.
I chose to punish myself at the River of Blood, to atone for you.
So, today... does this count? Have we completed our vows? And my name... has it finally left its mark on our marriage contract?
Fairy Spirit Phoenix muttered softly.
The debt has been repaid. The sin has been atoned for...
Can we... go home now?
Young Lord fell silent.
At that moment, the fluctuations in space-time became increasingly intense, forming a vortex that rumbled deafeningly in the Immortal Palace, bringing with it more and more space-time sand.
The sand swirled around the two of them, gradually gathering together. Once again, these sands coalesced into an hourglass that existed outside of time.
It wasnt just fifteen minutes.
The amount of sand could last... for two hours.
This was the limit of what could be achieved in this mirror space-time.
The Young Lord didnt answer Spirit Phoenixs question.
He lifted his head and looked... at the location of his father, the Aurora Immortal Lord.
The instant his gaze landed, the fifteen minutes of time Xu Qing had extended for him ended.
The world rumbled and the surroundings trembled. At this moment, everything that had frozen... returned to normal.
Hence, cheers and laughter rang out once again.
It was as though no one noticed that the time had been extended for fifteen minutes.
It was the same for the waves in the sky. The sun and moon were dimming at this moment.
The chaos of the heavenly secrets had also reached its peak, indicating the trend where fortune came after extreme misfortune!
Then, a beam of white light, so brilliant that it illuminated the entire Fifth Star Ring, burst forth in the heavens.
Like the sea, it swept through everything!
The Aurora Era arrived after being delayed for fifteen minutes.
Infinite power converged at this moment, surging into the body of the Aurora Immortal Lord, forming an imperial robe around him.
Countless perceptions and acknowledgments etched the name of Aurora into the cosmos, manifesting as an imperial crown.
Aurora Immortal Lord had ascended the throne!
From this moment forward, he would preside over the new era, becoming the ruler of the Fifth Star Ring.
As the sun and moon, once dim, now blazed in brilliance.
They radiated endlessly.
The Immortal Lords gaze swept over the world, finally resting upon his child. In his eyes, there was warmth, blessing, and... a hint of farewell.
Then, he lifted his foot and, with a single step, ascended into the sky.
Walking across the heavens, standing before the sun and moon, as the power of the star rings throne surged within him, his hand grew immeasurably vast.
It obscured the sky, traversed the nine realms, and appeared above the sun and moon.
He waved it gently.
It was as though it had penetrated a bubble-like barrier and removed the sun and moon inside!!
At that moment, the world plunged into utter darkness. The sun and moon vanished from the sky, and the light of the Aurora Immortal Lord himself turned into darkness.
Hence, the entire Fifth Star Ring was devoid of light!
Only within the palm of the Immortal Lords hand did the sun and moon still shine, and with a single press, they were mysteriously sent into the body of his son!
Everything proceeded flawlessly. The merging of the sun and moon into his son occurred without resistance, as if it were the natural order.
This was because, during the initial chaos of the heavenly secrets, the Immortal Lord had discreetly stripped the names of the sun and moon from existence, causing all living beings to unconsciously forget their names.
He had hidden the names of the sun and moon within the name of his son.
Mi Ming, to seek the light.
In the absence of light, Mi Ming held the meaning of seeking itthe sun and moon embodying brightness.
And thus, his sons name became Mi Ming.
From now on, you are the Sun and Moon of the Fifth Star Ring. Within you lies boundless light, untarnished by anything. And with divine protection before you, divine calamity shall never befall you.
My child, this is the wedding gift your father gives you.
Now, go live the life youve always dreamed of.
Aurora Immortal Lord spoke softly. After that, he lifted his head and looked at the pitch-black world. At this moment, the black gas in his body erupted and spread in all directions.
His voice echoed throughout the entire Fifth Star Ring.
There are seven colors in the world. Ill take the redness!
Merge into my aurora light and turn it red!
With this... I shall forge my divine path and change the Ordinance into a divine aspect!
His voice echoed in the ears of all beings, exploding in countless minds, forming a thunderous sound. Then... an endless sea of red was drawn by him, appearing in the heavens and merging with his light.
It formed... a red aurora!
That aurora was earth-shattering and destructive. It instantly covered the sky and the heads of all living beings...
The sky had changed!
In the future, the red aurora would become the only sunlight that all living beings in the Fifth Star Ring could see!
The strange thing was that such a drastic change that had never happened after the entire Fifth Star Ring became a land of cultivators was enough to affect all living beings.
However, everyone in the Immortal Palace, including the Fourth True Monarch, was actually smiling.
The singing and dancing continued. The blessings were still there and the laughter didnt stop at all.
It was as though no one in the outside world noticed the changes.
This scene created a strong sense of disconnection from the changes in the sky.
All of this fell into Xu Qings perception. Looking at the familiar crimson sky light, his heart trembled.
This is the truth?
But why is the Immortal Lord like this? Why are the people in the surroundings... like this?
Theres also Young Lord... His ultimate goal...
Xu Qings consciousness churned and he vaguely had an answer.
Almost at the instant this answer appeared, the voice of the Aurora Immortal Lord echoed again.
This time, it was even sharper than before!
Venerable Immortal, did you hear that?!
As the sound of heavenly lightning spread, an ancient sigh rang out from the sky, the earth, the void, everything, all living beings, and every corner of the entire Fifth Star Ring...
It spread out.
They gathered together and transformed into an ancient voice.
This sound echoed and the sky distorted. The red light was expelled, revealing the vast starry sky that was filled with stars.
The starry sky was also distorting.
Amidst the distortion, the countless stars turned into bubbles of different sizes.
The color was also different, but it lacked redness.
There were an endless number of these bubbles.
And in each bubble, there was a scene.
If the scenes in all the bubbles were pieced together, it would be... the entirety of the Fifth Star Ring!
At that moment, an aged hand appeared in the starry sky with a sigh. It lifted two fingers and gently squeezed one of the bubbles.
The bubble popped.
In an instant, the entire Immortal Palace was destroyed like the bubble.
All living beings were reduced to ashes.
No matter what cultivation base they had, they seemed to be unable to resist and dissipated into the vastness.
Whether it was the Fourth True Monarch, the Great Elder, or almost everyone, including the cultivators who were inhabited by the outsiders, there was no exception.
Only the Young Lord and Fairy Spirit Phoenix existed in the ruins formed by endless ashes.
It was as though they were originally alive!
In the sky, Aurora Immortal Lords figure was also dissipating. However, it was filled by endless red light that gathered on his body, using this power to break through the sky.
He appeared in the starry sky, above the countless bubbles, fighting against that aged hand.
Below, in the destroyed ruins, the Young Lord fell silent.
He looked at the figure in the starry sky and wanted to take that step.
He originally thought that he could do it.
After all, this was an opportunity he had planned for countless years. It was the closest he had come to what he yearned for.
He originally thought that he could be decisive.
However... his gaze couldnt help but look at Spirit Phoenix beside him. The two of them were holding hands and the other party was holding onto his hand tightly.
He knew that she was waiting for an answer.
An answer that had been awaited for countless years.
In a fleeting moment, he seemed to see the old boat on the God Blood River, the aged figure clad in a raincoat, and beneath that raincoat, the ancient wedding attire.
The wind and rain danced, the years flowed by, year after year...
Compared to this, no matter how many reasons he had, he couldnt say them out loud.
His determined footsteps lacked the strength to move forward.
He knew that he owed her too much, too much, too much...
Hence, after remaining silent until now, he let out a deep breath and suppressed his countless years of obsession with great difficulty.
He lifted his hand and gently tucked the hair on Spirit Phoenixs forehead behind her ear.
He said softly.
Lets go home...
Spirit Phoenix had waited for this sentence for countless years.
And at this moment, it had finally arrived.
She stared blankly at the incomparably familiar figure in front of her, unable to forget it at all.
Tears streamed down her face.
She tightened her grip on his hand.
Finally, she spoke softly.
I know that you arent able to let go. You dont understand and you cant forgive the Venerable Immortal... I know that you want to clarify the true secrets and karma that happened here. I also know that everything you did was to try to save... your father.
Your goal in this arrangement wasnt me originally...
Its this hourglass. Its this two hours of time that is outside of time.
You want to use this to head to true history and not the mirror image here.
You want to go there and try to change it!
Now, youve given it up for me, then...
Spirit Phoenix looked into her lovers eyes and lifted her jade-like hand to grab the hourglass floating at the side. With a pinch, the hourglass shattered.
Countless grains of time sand suddenly surrounded it, forming a... time door that led to true history!
Young Lords heart stirred.
In front of the door, Fairy Spirit Phoenix spoke softly.
Ill accompany you. We... will live and die together.
