Chapter 487: The World Without Her

Not long after, light exploded from Mu Yucheng’s body and turned into golden particles, which were sucked into the formation. When everything came to a standstill, the giant clock slowed down and then began to move forward slowly.

Wung~ Tick... Tick... Tick... Bang!

After another loud explosion, the giant clock disappeared, and the cracks in the air vanished, leaving the imperial capital city in complete ruins. When Hu Wenfeng and Huan Yun returned to the imperial palace location, there was no trace of Mu Yucheng and Xu Xiang, and the space was no longer broken.

Looking at the ruins, Huan Yun fell to her knees and cried sadly. With the death of Mu Yucheng and Xu Xiang, Huan Yun not only lost her friends but also lost the opportunity to return to her world. Hu Wenfeng, who was kneeling beside her, could only hug her, pat her back gently, and accompany her silently.

Three months after the incident, the Shang Empire ushered in a new emperor. After defeating the barbarians, the Night Army, the Shen Gu Army, and Xiao Shao attacked the western border of the Shang Empire.

Before they could launch an attack, Yao Zhen knelt in front of the border city gate, holding a box with both hands. At that time, Xiao Shao opened the box and saw Cao Qinbo’s head inside, and immediately knew that Yao Zhen had surrendered to him.

After the news of Emperor Ming’s death spread, the common people couldn’t wait to welcome their new emperor with new hope in their hearts.

With Yao Zhen leading the way, they successfully arrived at the imperial capital city of the Shang Empire in just two months. When Huan Yun and Hu Wenfeng heard the news, they waited in front of the city gate of the imperial capital city.

Huan Yun’s eyes turned red when she saw Xiao Shao coming with his troops. She walked up to Xiao Shao, looked at him, and said, "Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng are dead. The people from Moon Pavilion and Hong Yue Sect also died with them."

After speaking, she took out three spatial rings and said, "Inside these spatial rings are the things she has prepared for you. Make good use of them."

Before Xiao Shao had time to react, Huan Yun stuffed the spatial rings into his hand. She then turned to look at Hu Wenfeng and said tiredly: "Hu Wenfeng, you said you wanted to take me to Qingqiu Valley."

Hu Wenfeng nodded, "Mhm."

"Then let’s go. I don’t want to stay in this place any longer." Huan Yun said as tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Hu Wenfeng knew that staying here would remind her of that day. He wiped her tears gently with his fingers and said, "Don’t cry. Miss Xu will be unhappy if you cry. When we return to Qingqiu Valley, I will fulfill my promise and marry you. I will make you happy."

Hearing his words, Huan Yun nodded. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Mhm. Let’s go home."

Hu Wenfeng carried her in his arms, looked at the stunned Xiao Shao, and said, "Young Master Xiao, Miss Xu’s only wish is for you to become the emperor to save the common people and restore this world. She and all of us believe you can do it. If you need my help, just come to Qingqiu Valley to find me at any time."

Then he took off the red jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Xiao Shao, saying, "This jade pendant will show you the way to Qingqiu Valley. Goodbye, my friend."

After saying that, he turned into a red light and flew back to Qingqiu Valley. Looking at the three spatial rings in his palm, Xiao Shao was silent for a long time. When he finally raised his eyes, he held the spatial rings tightly and said, "Open the city gate."

At the same time in the Tian Jian Sect, the ancestor who had never shown up suddenly came out of his seclusion. He stood outside the cave, looked at his disciples calmly, and said, "Zhihe, I have fulfilled my promise and it is time for me to leave."

As soon as these words came out, the dark clouds suddenly dispersed, and the sky shone brightly. When the golden light fell from the sky and landed on the ancestor’s body, Mu Zhihe suddenly asked, "Shifu, do you know what happened to my disciple?"

The ancestor looked at him and said calmly: "He has returned to where he belongs. The fate between you two is over. But since you are his Shifu in this lifetime, he will treat you well. All you have to do is protect this world and live your life peacefully."

After speaking, the ancestor looked up at the sky and said, "From now on, this world will be protected by all of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ancestor floated into the void, turned into golden light, and disappeared. Seeing that the ancestor has ascended to the Celestial Realm, Mu Zhihe, the elders, and the disciples all clasped their fists and said, "We respectfully send off the ancestor."

When the heavenly gate opens to welcome the new immortal, golden light shines on the Human Realm for three days and three nights. Under the blessing of Heaven, the withered world slowly glowed with vitality due to its rich spiritual energy.

On the fourth day after the ancestor ascended to the Celestial Realm, the spiritual energy was so thick that it formed a mist in the Immortal Realm, restoring the world to its former glory.

Ten years later, after fierce battles between the Bei Wei Empire and the Shang Empire, the world was finally unified under one ruler, Emperor Xiao. Led by the Qin Kingdom, other kingdoms and empires surrendered to the Shang Empire and disappeared from history.

Standing on the city wall, Xiao Han looked at his elder brother and asked, "Elder Brother, are you sure you want to abdicate the throne to me?"

Xiao Shao nodded and said, "Yes. I have prepared everything for you. This year, you are already twenty-four years old and are strong enough to shoulder this heavy responsibility. With the help of A Lu Zhi and Fan Zhengyin as your prime ministers, I don’t have to worry about you and this world anymore. I believe you will become a good emperor."

Looking at his elder brother’s longing eyes, Xiao Han could only sigh. He knew that after Xu Xiang died, his elder brother’s only purpose in living was to unify the world because that was her last wish. Now that he had achieved this goal and created a prosperous empire, he finally made up his mind to leave.

Knowing that he could not change his elder brother’s decision, Xiao Han knelt on the ground, clasped his fists, and said, "I will not let down my elder brother’s expectations. I will protect the world and create a prosperous place where everyone can live happily."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Shao nodded, patted his younger brother’s shoulder, and said, "Good. With this promise, I can finally accompany her with peace of mind."

On the day the new emperor ascended the throne, Xiao Shao left the Shang Empire. No one knows where he is going, but he writes a letter to his younger brother and family every year on the anniversary of Xu Xiang’s death.

Since then, the legend of the First Emperor has become a beacon that illuminates the world, guiding future generations to protect the world and to do better and better.
