Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Just as they were about to reach the Weak Water River where the Heavenly Palace was fighting with the Winged Clan, Jiang Ruan, who was on the cloud of Simingjia, swooped down and grabbed Cen Sheng's soul in his hands!

Cen Sheng's soul is not attracted by the Donghuang Bell.

Jiang Ruan, who grabbed Cen Sheng's soul, fell down!

In the short moment of falling, the scene in front of her was divided into countless pieces by the messy flying hair. In the world divided by the hair, she saw Mo Yuan, who was wearing silver armor and turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the Donghuang Bell.

Mo Yuan's figure was fast and resolute, with the determination to die.

Then, the Donghuang Bell, which seemed to be able to swallow the sky and destroy the earth, continued to expand and shrank again and again, and finally turned into a bell as big as a hill and fell into the Ruoshui River, stirring up huge waves.

After the Donghuang Bell calmed down, Mo Yuan's body floated out of the Donghuang Bell.

Jiang Ruan, who was holding Cen Sheng's soul tightly in her hand, was stunned. She landed steadily under the protection of Sima Ming's magic. She was too far away to see what happened to Mo Yuan, but she could sense the result from the sad and lonely atmosphere in the silver armor.

Si Ming, who was standing next to her, had red eyes and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Jiang Ruan came back to her senses from Siming's sigh. She stood up and looked at the mountains of corpses and sea of blood around her, and the endless Ruoshui River that was dyed red.

Countless corpses lay on the ground, black and white, stacked one on top of another, like the tragic scene after a huge chessboard battle.

But the chessboard is fake after all, and everything in front of you is real.

Jiang Ruan could see the expressions on their faces frozen in the final moment of death: horrified, ferocious, full of murderous intent, ready to die...

The sound of the ripples on the weak water is vast and strikes directly into people's hearts, as if the souls of these dead soldiers are expressing their reluctance to leave the world.

The blood-red river water was reflected in his eyes. The endless red shocked Jiang Ruan so much that his mind went blank.

She was in a blind spot, facing the bloody battlefield with corpses everywhere, she didn't know what to do, or what she should do, what she could do...

She had never felt so insignificant as she did now. Standing among the piles of corpses, she was like a grain of sand, an ant, a mayfly shaking a tree...

Suddenly, she saw a hand move in the pile of corpses. She seemed to have finally found the meaning of her presence there. She ran over and dragged away the corpses buried in the hand one by one. When she pulled the owner of the hand out of the pile of corpses, panting, she saw a face that was already dead.

Siming, who was standing by, couldn't help but persuade her: "Miss Jiang, let's go back."

"...Go back?" Jiang Ruan looked at Siming and asked in confusion, "Some people might still be able to survive. Shouldn't we just ignore them?"

"There are no survivors here." Siming explained, "These people have Su Jin's clan totems on their armor. The Su Jin clan, following the Supreme God Yaoguang, risked their lives to charge into the enemy camp and lure Qing Cang's army here. I just used my magic to investigate, and no one is alive."

"What happened just now was probably a fleeting moment. We alone are powerless to reverse the situation."

Jiang Ruan looked around and saw that there was no end to the corpses.

After an unknown amount of time, she saw a small figure staggering among the corpses.

Jiang Ruan walked towards her. She was a little girl about five or six years old. She had two round buns on her hair and was wearing white clothes. Her chubby face still showed childishness.

She looked up at Jiang Ruan, her eyes full of confusion: "This is a battlefield, how did a mere mortal like you end up here?"

Jiang Ruan squatted down and looked the little girl in the eye. "I came here chasing after a human soul. What about you? You're so young, and why are you on the battlefield?"

"I'm older than you." The little girl, whose baby teeth hadn't yet fallen out, said seriously, "I'm over four thousand years old!"

Without waiting for Jiang Ruan to speak, she looked around and said, "I miss my parents. My parents and uncles are all here. I came here to find them."

Siming asked, "Excuse me, are you the daughter of the Sujin clan leader?"

"It's me." The little girl looked at Si Ming curiously: "Do you know me?"

Sima Ming's eyes were immediately filled with pity and sympathy when he looked at the girl in front of him.

He said, "Wait a moment, the Emperor will send someone to pick you up, and you can follow him then."

The little girl looked around, suddenly pointed in one direction, and shouted: "I saw my daddy!"

She stumbled towards the man who was the only one standing among the corpses, holding up the battle flag. When she saw his bloodstained face, she froze for a moment and reached out her hand to him: "Dad, didn't you say you would take me home? Let's go home."

"Daddy? Why are you ignoring me with your eyes closed?"

"Where's Mom? Why isn't Daddy with Mom?"

"Daddy?" Seeing that her father had his eyes closed, the little girl grabbed his hanging hand and shook it.

Sima Ming looked in another direction.

Jiang Ruan followed the direction of his gaze and saw a woman wearing armor with blood all over her face lying in a pile of corpses with her eyes closed.

Siming said, "That is the wife of the Sujin clan leader."

A buzzing sound passed through Jiang Ruan's mind, and she froze in place. All that rang in her mind were the words that Cen Sheng had said to her.

And what Mo Yuan said to her when he said goodbye to her that night.

A person's life cannot be filled with petty emotions. When faced with the greater interests of family, country and the people of the world, one must put petty emotions aside and focus on the greater interests.

Like Mo Yuan, although he was attracted to her, he was determined to die for the world and never regretted it.

Ru Cen Sheng, although unable to be with her, did not regret all his experiences over the years, nor did he hate Donghua for changing their fate. Instead, he was grateful to Donghua for saving his and her lives, allowing him to contribute to the world while he was alive.

The soul of Cen Sheng in his hand became hotter and hotter.

Jiang Ruan let go of his hand, and in a world of darkness and blood, he watched the faint blue light in front of him fly towards the distant sky.

It's like understanding in an instant.

At that moment, Mo Yuan's remaining soul felt endless compassion, which shook his remaining consciousness and attracted him unconsciously.

Many white spots of light gathered on Jiang Ruan and then spread out in an instant!

Under Sima Ming's surprised gaze, the woman in the center of the white light was surrounded by immortal energy, and she had already ascended to heaven after cutting off all worldly ties!

The thunder and lightning that would allow her to ascend to immortality had already gathered above her head.

First ascend to heaven, then survive the thunder tribulation. If you can't survive it, your soul will be scattered.

……

Heavenly Palace, Purple Palace.

Donghua, Haode Tianjun and all the immortal officials in the heaven gathered in the Purple Palace waiting for the outcome of the war.

Donghua, who was leaning on the soft couch, had his eyelashes twitching slightly. He opened his eyes with a sense of something, and a trace of divinity that was indifferent to all other people flashed in his eyes.

Haode Tianjun, who was sitting on the upper throne, looked surprised: "Who is it that can ascend to become an immortal at the critical moment of the war?"

One stone caused a thousand waves!

When the immortal officials below heard this, they all looked at each other in shock and couldn't help whispering to each other.

Anyone who ascends to become an immortal, whether they are spirits from the lower realms or mortals among the billions of ordinary people in the mortal world, needs to pay a visit to Emperor Donghua, who will arrange an official position for them.

Haode Tianjun looked at Donghua, wanting to ask him if he knew who the mortal who had ascended to heaven was, but he found that Donghua was no longer on the couch.

He had a vague suspicion in his mind, and then he heard the immortal official in charge of guarding the Three Lives Stone come to report: "Heavenly Lord! There's a new name on the Three Lives Stone! And... thunderclouds are surging and moving rapidly above the Three Lives Stone. They have already gathered on the banks of the Weak Water River where our army is fighting the Winged Clan!"
