"No!!!"

Zhu Xincheng raised her hand, trying to grasp the scattered starlight, but it was completely useless.

Beside her, Elder Ge seemed as if all his strength had been drained in an instant. He lowered his head helplessly.

Ye Yu’s expression became somewhat grave.

He did not know whether Li Mu’s appearance had been right or wrong.

Being able to meet a deceased loved one again would surely make anyone excited.

But this meeting had been destined to be extremely brief, and it would only end with another farewell.

Such an outcome was undoubtedly painful.

To be honest, seeing Elder Ge and Zhu Xincheng like this made Ye Yu feel somewhat unable to bear it.

Wait... something isn’t right.

This wasn’t something he had initiated.

Li Mu’s appearance had been completely accidental.

What was there to struggle over?

After figuring that out, Ye Yu gathered himself and placed one hand on Elder Ge’s shoulder, intending to offer some comfort.

But suddenly the touch felt strange.

Why was it so soft?

It didn’t feel like a man’s shoulder at all.

When he looked down, he saw Hua Junshuang’s face appearing once again on Elder Ge’s shoulder.

Ye Yu’s heart tightened.

Hadn’t it been said that it could be temporarily suppressed?

Why had it come out again now?

Elder Ge slowly raised his head. The expression on his face had already begun to blur.

Just like before, this was a sign that his divine soul was about to be taken over.

At that moment, Zhu Xincheng also noticed the change in him and immediately turned to help.

But Elder Ge shook his head and refused.

He raised both hands into the air, and a blazing flame appeared out of nowhere.

Moments later, it transformed into the same golden spear from before.

Elder Ge placed the weapon in front of Zhu Xincheng, his eyes filled with affection.

"When you were six years old, I forged this divine flame for you. I wanted to make you happy and keep you safe. Unfortunately, all these years, I never had the chance to give it to you. Since the moment has come, take it."

While he spoke, his body was being covered with gray at a visible speed.

His entire figure looked as though it were filled with decay.

On his shoulder, Hua Junshuang’s face was filled with terror.

"The Yinsha Bone Poison has already penetrated deep into your marrow. How did you manage to live until now? Madman... you’re truly a madman. Let me go! I don’t want to die together with you!"

Hua Junshuang struggled desperately to escape.

But the compass at Elder Ge’s chest burst with brilliant light and forcibly suppressed her.

Seeing the gray color on his body continuing to deepen, Zhu Xincheng tried to step forward again.

Yet once more, Elder Ge raised his hand and stopped her.

"Don’t trouble yourself anymore. It’s meaningless. I know my own body best. At the final moment, just let me look at you properly, alright?"

Zhu Xincheng clenched her teeth, but tears continued streaming down her face.

A relieved smile appeared on Elder Ge’s face.

Then he grabbed Ye Yu’s sleeve.

"In the future, if you have the chance, help me take care of Cheng’er. But you are not allowed to get any ideas about her. I saw through you long ago. You’re not a good person."

When Ye Yu heard the first half of that sentence, he had been ready to agree immediately.

After all, when someone was about to die and entrusting another with their child, it was not something he could refuse.

But the second half of the sentence stabbed him right in the heart.

What do you mean I’m not a good person?

Say that clearly!

Noticing Ye Yu’s darkened expression, a trace of teasing flashed through Elder Ge’s eyes.

The next moment, the color of his body changed from gray to black, and all signs of life vanished.

Thus, this master of divine artifacts fell.

Seeing this scene, Ye Yu could not help letting out a sigh.

[boom]

A dull thud suddenly sounded behind him.

Ye Yu turned his head and saw that Zhu Xincheng had also collapsed onto the ground, unconscious.

At that moment, the robe she wore was already soaked with blood.

What a pitiful woman.

Just as Ye Yu was sighing inwardly, the system’s voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Detected that Zhu Xincheng has forgiven Elder Ge, fulfilling Elder Ge’s dream. Dream duration: twenty million seven hundred thousand years. Difficulty: Hard+. Reward: peak Heavenly God Realm cultivation."

In an instant, divine power between heaven and earth surged toward Ye Yu like a tidal wave.

It forcibly pushed him forward nearly two major realms.

He was now only a step away from the Golden God Realm.

Ye Yu even had a strong feeling that if he exerted just a little effort, even cultivating for half a year would allow him to break through into the Golden God Realm.

It had to be said that Elder Ge’s dream had truly been powerful.

If he could encounter a few more like this, even the God Sovereign Realm might not be impossible.

Wait.

Did Elder Ge’s last words before dying count as a dream?

Take good care of Zhu Xincheng.

Ye Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Without daring to delay even a moment, he rushed forward, picked Zhu Xincheng up, and sped away into the distance.

Two days later.

Inside the Blazing Sun Sect.

Zhu Xincheng slowly woke up.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, her eyes were empty.

"Sect Master, how are you feeling now?"

Xiao Cui’s voice sounded beside her.

Zhu Xincheng turned to look at her, then glanced at Ye Yu, who was sitting not far away gnawing on a divine fruit, and softly said,

"Xiao Cui, leave first. I have something to say to him alone."

Xiao Cui could not help slightly frowning.

The look she gave Ye Yu was filled with hostility.

But she still obediently walked outside.

Before leaving, however, she transmitted a message with her divine sense to Ye Yu.

"Do not touch our Sect Master again."

Ye Yu immediately felt black lines forming across his forehead and clicked his tongue in irritation.

These days, were even divine maidens this possessive?

The reason Xiao Cui acted like this was because two days earlier, when Ye Yu had brought the severely injured Zhu Xincheng back, he had carried her in his arms.

When Xiao Cui saw that scene, she exploded on the spot.

She immediately ordered the divine race members of the Divine Alliance to surround Ye Yu.

At first, Ye Yu thought Xiao Cui had misunderstood and believed he had been the one who injured Zhu Xincheng.

So he patiently explained the situation.

But later he realized that Xiao Cui simply did not allow Ye Yu to have any physical contact with Zhu Xincheng.

What the hell was that supposed to mean?

Your Sect Master was practically dying. I carried her back to save her. That’s completely reasonable.

And yet you care about whether there was physical contact?

You’re just a maid. Where did such strong possessiveness come from?

I’m starting to suspect you have other feelings toward your Sect Master.

Feeling extremely displeased, Ye Yu spoke those thoughts out loud.

Yet to his complete surprise, Xiao Cui did not refute him.

Damn.

So it was actually true.

Although he could not understand it, he respected it.

After all, it had nothing to do with him.

What Ye Yu wanted to know now was whether Elder Ge’s dying wish counted as his final dream.

If it did, he would definitely harvest another reward from Zhu Xincheng before leaving.

Therefore, while Zhu Xincheng had been unconscious, Ye Yu had stayed nearby the entire time to guard her.

That should count as taking good care of her, right?
