There is no doubt that this matter dealt Elder Ge an enormous blow.
For nearly a million years, he had been living in regret.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
Things had already reached this point.
A god’s death could not be undone.
Zhuxin Cheng’s hatred toward Elder Ge was entirely understandable.
And Elder Ge wanting to beg for forgiveness was also normal.
But the difficulty of that dream was simply far, far too high, and Ye Yu had already begun to feel the urge to retreat.
This grudge could not be resolved, at least not right now.
So Ye Yu patted Elder Ge on the shoulder and said softly, "The matter between you and your daughter... I may be powerless to help."
Elder Ge was not surprised by this outcome. He merely nodded lightly.
"Some words, once spoken, make the heart feel a little better. From here on, I will still find a way to earn my daughter’s forgiveness. In this lifetime, even if I have to stake everything on this one thing, I will see it through."
"Because I have no other family left."
When he said these words, Elder Ge was clearly smiling, yet his tears never stopped falling.
That suffocating heaviness made Ye Yu feel as though his throat were clogged.
After softly saying, "Stay strong," Ye Yu turned and left.
Two months later, Ye Yu stood atop a divine mountain, gazing into the distance.
During this period, he had not been idle. He had come to know many gods and helped several of them fulfill their dreams.
As a result, he smoothly advanced from the mid New God Realm into the late True God Realm.
It could be said that his cultivation path was going quite smoothly.
However, the image of Elder Ge with tears streaming down his face and lifeless eyes would still frequently surface in his mind.
Every time he thought of it, he felt deeply sorry for him.
What happened back then was indeed Elder Ge’s fault, but he had already repented sincerely.
If possible, Ye Yu truly wanted to help this father and daughter reconcile.
Surely Li Mu in the heavens would hope for the same.
Yet no matter how hard Ye Yu racked his brains, he could not come up with a good way to break the deadlock.
It was truly headache-inducing.
Ye Yu could not help but sigh.
He then withdrew his thoughts and began to look seriously toward the foot of the divine mountain.
Time was precious. Before obtaining absolute strength, Ye Yu would never allow himself to slack off.
For example, the reason he was here now was to fulfill the dream of a fellow Daoist.
At this very moment, that person was hiding behind a massive boulder halfway up the mountain.
His name was Zong Shangbang. His looks were passable, and he was at the early Great God Realm.
He was a friend Ye Yu had met by chance a few days earlier.
After two rounds of heavy drinking, Ye Yu quickly grew close to him and learned of his dream.
Zong Shangbang’s dream was very simple: to make his junior sister, Luo Xue, his Daoist partner.
Both he and his junior sister had come from the Celestial World.
They had once been in the same immortal sect. After entering the God Realm, neither joined any divine alliance, and each developed separately, though they still kept in occasional contact.
Only, the frequency of that contact had been steadily decreasing.
This made the already timid Zong Shangbang feel deeply distressed.
After learning of his dream, Ye Yu directly encouraged him to act boldly.
And then began to PUA him head-on.
"Brother, do you know what happiness really is? It’s when the person you secretly admire just so happens to secretly admire you as well. That’s the greatest happiness, the most perfect thing under heaven."
"What? You think something like that is impossible? She’s cold toward you?"
"No, no, no. When you were still a mortal, could you imagine becoming a god today? So don’t talk about impossibilities. Anything is possible!"
"As for her being cold? That’s even more normal!"
"You’ve known each other for three hundred thousand years."
"And you’ve never taken the initiative even once? She’s being polite by just being cold. If it were me, I’d have slapped you at least twice already!"
"What, are you waiting for her to confess to you? Stop talking nonsense. This kind of thing has to be done by the man!"
Under Ye Yu’s barrage of rhetoric,
Zong Shangbang completely shed his former shy, introverted, and timid demeanor. He immediately raised his head high, his eyes filled with hopeful light.
He decided to invite his junior sister to White Summit Mountain today and confess to her directly.
Ye Yu stepped forward of his own accord and stated that he would act as the chief designer of this confession plan.
"I’ve got faith in you, brother!"
As Ye Yu thumped his fist against his chest and then pointed at Zong Shangbang,
The latter became instantly fired up and hurried to the designated position to hide.
Holding the bright red flowers he had prepared, he was ready to give his junior sister a surprise.
To be honest, Ye Yu did not have that much confidence either.
The hardest thing in this world was the matter of love between men and women.
"I can’t exactly force your junior sister to like you, can I?"
"But that’s not important. Whether there are dates on the tree or not, you still take a swing first."
"If it works out, everyone’s happy. You get the girl, and I get the dream reward."
"A three-hundred-thousand-year-long dream—even at ordinary difficulty, the reward definitely won’t be small."
"And even if it doesn’t work, I’m only out two days of time."
"I can just turn around and look for the next target."
"There won’t be any major losses."
"This is what you call lightning tactics!"
Very soon, a woman clad in a pink divine robe slowly descended upon White Summit Mountain.
From the image stone Zong Shangbang had shown him before, Ye Yu knew that this was his junior sister, Luo Xue.
After confirming her identity, Ye Yu took out the communication stone and spoke in a low voice, "Old Zong, the target has appeared. In ten breaths, she will enter the designated position. Get ready and come on stage at any time!"
"Remember, be confident. You’re the best!"
Even at this moment, Ye Yu did not forget to cheer Zong Shangbang on.
He truly hoped that this would succeed.
Otherwise, all his careful arrangements would really go to waste.
Ten breaths later.
Luo Xue reached the mountainside of White Summit Mountain and suddenly stopped.
This was because she sensed an unusual fluctuation of divine power.
This aura felt so familiar. It seemed like... senior brother?
But why would he be hiding behind a rock?
Seeing the surprise in Luo Xue’s eyes, Ye Yu immediately understood that they had been exposed.
Zong Shangbang must have been too excited and failed to control the circulation of his divine power, causing himself to be detected.
"Brother, I have to say, your mental fortitude is really lacking."
Although Luo Xue was still about five steps away from the designated spot, at this point, there was no time left to wait.
Ye Yu immediately activated the array.
In an instant, flower petals filled the sky, creating a romantic atmosphere.
And Zong Shangbang, from behind the boulder, stepped out holding the flowers.
However, due to being overly excited, he immediately tripped over himself and fell flat in front of Luo Xue. His large face not only crushed all the flowers, but he also completely forgot every line Ye Yu had prepared for him.
Seeing this scene from the mountaintop, Ye Yu could not help but cover his face with one hand.
"Forget it. You really are hopeless."
"It looks like these past two days were truly a complete waste of effort."
