It has turned into a dead starry sky.

Lin Chuan, with white hair, was currently sitting cross-legged on a star fragment that had been split in two by the aftermath of a war, regulating his breathing quietly.

In that life-and-death fight, his killing power was ultimately superior. But he didn't win. To be more precise, he almost won.

As Youhuan was determined to kill him at all costs, the starry sky that trapped him was almost broken.

However, just when hope began to well up in his heart, You Huan chose to burn the Emperor's Soul and force a sacrifice, so that the star field that trapped him not only failed to break free, but even imprisoned him more strongly than before.

At this moment, there are two paths before him. Either spend tens of thousands of years to erase her path, or reach a realm above the Emperor Realm.

"call."

Lin Chuan let out a long sigh and slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, the injuries in his body had finally been completely suppressed.

"If only there were still time..."

He slowly stood up and walked slowly in the ruined starry sky, concentrating on thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Above the Immortal Emperor? The World Tree remained in his grasp, still alive, yet he dared not, nor would he, take it into his body. After all, any realm reached through external forces would ultimately be limited by external factors. This was fate, and perhaps the World Tree... was also true.

But he would definitely not choose the method of spending time to slowly erase Youhuan's avenue.

Lin Chuan was comprehending his own path while walking and stopping, and gradually, he felt a sense of "end".

He has reached the pinnacle of the Yin-Yang Dao, where life and death, and the balance of power all depend on a single thought.

But that’s all.

He walked and stopped like this, and before he knew it, he was standing on a piece of star fragment, staring at the absolute emptiness and silence below the fragment.

An unprecedented thought suddenly exploded in his mind:

"Though yin and yang are powerful, they are still within the realm of 'existence'. Controlling the balance of all things is not the ultimate goal."

"All things are born from existence, and existence is born from non-existence. So what is the 'non-existence' that gave rise to 'existence'?"

"What was the state like before the beginning, the beginning, and even the chaos?"

Once this thought came to mind, he could no longer suppress it. He sensed the limits of the Yin-Yang Dao itself, and also saw the path ahead: a perilous path that would annihilate his old self and enter a completely unknown realm.

"Boom!!!"

It was not thunder, but the Yin-Yang Emperor Seal in Lin Chuan's body, which made a wail of unbearable pressure under his extreme mental transformation.

He actually wanted to take the initiative to deny the foundation of his own imperial way!

This is an extremely dangerous step, tantamount to destroying one's own foundation. Once failed, one will completely disappear into nothingness.

But Lin Chuan's eyes were unwavering. He felt the call of a vaster, more fundamental realm ahead.

"Disperse."

He uttered a word lightly, and with a resolute will, he took the initiative to attack the perfect Yin-Yang Emperor Seal!

"Crack!"

The first crack appeared on the Emperor's Seal. Unimaginable pain swept through Lin Chuan's Emperor's soul and body, the backlash of the collapse of the Great Dao's foundation.

The imperial power released from outside instantly became chaotic and violent, stirring up chaos in the void around him.

The perfectly balanced black and white energies began to burn, collide, and annihilate out of control.

This is not the ultimate struggle for rebirth when being promoted to the Immortal Emperor, but a thorough and clear-cut self-annihilation.

He not only wanted to disperse the power, but also to disperse all traces of the concept of "yin and yang" itself in his existence!

The process is far more dangerous and painful than becoming an Immortal Emperor. It is like completely digging out and burning the foundation of one's own existence.

His body as the Immortal Emperor became illusory, and his Emperor Soul quickly dimmed, like a candle in the wind.

Just when everything was about to return to complete nothingness, even the concept of "Linchuan" was about to disappear.

An extreme silence descended.

It is not the disappearance of sound, but the silence of all fluctuations, all changes, and all possibilities themselves.

An indescribable emptiness filled everything, neither black nor white, neither reality nor illusion, without light or darkness, without past or future.

This is not the source of the law, it exists before the law.

This is not even "nothing", because "nothing" is still a concept relative to "something".

This is Taiyi, the most primitive state before the birth of all things in the universe, an absolute stage where even "qi" has not yet appeared.

In that absolute "silence", a bit of "cognition" quietly emerged.

It is not the soul, nor is it consciousness, but the most original "awareness".

This "awareness" is Lin Chuan, who was reborn in Taiyi after experiencing complete annihilation.

In other words, he is the Lord of Taiyi.

……

Qingluan Continent, the holy land of all living beings.

After dinner, the girls agreed to go to the fairyland together tomorrow, and then went back to rest.

In Xu Hanyi's room, the candlelight swayed gently in the night breeze.

Xu Hanyi leaned against the soft couch, his eyes fixed on the flickering candle wick, as if thinking about his trip to the fairyland tomorrow. There was a hint of worry between his brows, and also a bit of expectation for a reunion.

"Susu!"

At this moment, another gust of night wind blew through the window, the candlelight suddenly jumped, and then went out completely, and the room instantly fell into darkness.

Xu Hanyi was too lazy to pay attention to it. He just slowly closed his eyes. Lin Chuan's voice and appearance gradually appeared in his mind, and the past seemed to flow before his eyes.

"Chuan'er..."

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Disciple is here."

A voice so familiar it was etched deep into his bones suddenly reached his ears. The smile on Xu Hanyi's lips froze instantly, and he suddenly opened his eyes and looked anxiously to his side.

However, there was no one beside her, and the response just now seemed to be just an auditory hallucination caused by her deep longing.

"Am I missing you so much that I'm sick? I guess I'll have to go see Liyue tomorrow..."

Xu Hanyi smiled bitterly helplessly and closed his eyes again.

"Yiyi, I'm back."

The voice was so close to her that Xu Hanyi could even clearly feel the warm breath brushing past her ears.

Hearing the whisper, her whole body stiffened, and her eyes, which had just been closed, suddenly opened. With tears in her eyes, she looked at the face she had been thinking about day and night, which was so close to her.

"Rebel..."

Xu Hanyi's voice trembled. Thousands of words were about to burst out of his mouth, but in the end, he only condensed them into a soft call: "I'm glad you're back."

"good."

Lin Chuan raised his hand and gently pinched Xu Hanyi's face.

Xu Hanyi stared at Lin Chuan with tears in her eyes, as if she was lost in thought, or as if she was just staring at him in a daze.

for a long time.

As if the emotions that had been suppressed for too long suddenly burst out, Xu Hanyi suddenly pulled Lin Chuan into his arms, pressed his head against him, and was unwilling to separate from him for a long time.

Another long time.

Xu Hanyi then loosened his grip on Lin Chuan slightly, his face flushed slightly, and he subconsciously avoided Lin Chuan's scorching gaze.

"Master..." Lin Chuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and called softly.

"Chuan... Chuan'er, wait a minute. Let me ask you, who was the first person you saw when you came back?" Xu Hanyi narrowed her beautiful eyes.

"Of course it's Master."

Lin Chuan did not lie. When he just came back, Li Yue and Xu Hanyi were the only ones who had not rested. Li Yue was busy refining pills at that time, so he just went with the flow and came to Xu Hanyi.

"Chuan'er is sensible."

Xu Hanyi nodded with satisfaction, then lowered his eyelids slightly, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Master will give you... a reward."

"What reward?"

Lin Chuan stared at Xu Hanyi without blinking, his eyes full of anticipation.

Xu Hanyi didn't say anything, but slowly stood up and took out a piece of purple fabric from the storage space.

"I bought...it back then. This is Zuixingsha. Does Chuan'er like it?"

Xu Hanyi lowered his head and spoke softly, but received no response.

She mustered up the courage to raise her head, only to realize that she had asked too many questions. At this moment, Lin Chuan's eyes had already been firmly attracted by the fabric.

"How come I didn't know that Master still had this... piece of clothing?"

Lin Chuan shifted his gaze from the fabric to Xu Hanyi again.

"Who made you, this traitor... so angry that I never had the chance to wear it for you to see." Xu Hanyi said, giving Lin Chuan a slight look.

"Hehe, Master will look really good in this new outfit." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Um……"

Xu Hanyi lowered his head again, his voice slightly awkward, "This...this kind of clothing is the first time I've seen it, Master. Chuan...Chuan'er, can you help me put it on?"

"How about next time?" Lin Chuan suggested softly.

"Okay... huh?"

Xu Hanyi looked up in surprise, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone: "Chuan'er doesn't like this style?"

"No, it's just..."

Lin Chuan shook his head and was about to explain, but he saw Xu Hanyi stuffing the new clothes into his hands.

"If you like watching, I will let Chuan'er watch as much as he wants."

"Master, are you sure?"

"Master's words are always as good as gold!"

……

Xu Hanyi, whose mind and eyes were completely focused on Lin Chuan, had no idea that a figure had arrived at his door.

"Xu Hanyi, try my new brew..."

Li Yue, who was completely unaware of the situation, pushed the door open and walked in while speaking, but before she could finish her words, she froze in place.

At the same time, Xu Hanyi's eyes suddenly widened, and his whole body froze in place. It was as if the pause button was pressed on his brain, and he completely shut down.

"Sister Li."

Lin Chuan was the first to break the silence in the room. With a smile on his face, he called out softly.

Xu Hanyi suddenly pushed Lin Chuan away and huddled into the quilt using almost all his hands and feet, wishing he could hide himself completely.

Li Yue suppressed the sourness in her nose, turned her eyes away from Lin Chuan, and then walked towards the bed with her hands rubbing.

"Xu Hanyi, where is the oath we made?!"

……

The next day, it snowed heavily.

Inside the hall, the women surrounded Lin Chuan and an interrogation began.

Qing Shu was the first to speak, her tone filled with urgency and tentativeness, as she asked the question on everyone's mind: "Why did Qin Lang take so long to return? Tell me, does he have anyone in the Immortal Realm?"

"It's unjust."

Lin Chuan immediately cried out for justice, then spread out his palms and explained: "A red thread represents a peach blossom, you see."

"Son..."

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Chuan with a complicated expression and said distressedly, "There seem to be 11 red threads on your hand."

"Ok?"

Lin Chuan was slightly startled, then lowered his head and looked at his palm.

In the past, he always considered others but not himself, but this was the first time he took a closer look at his own destiny.

Next to the nine thick red threads, there was a very light red thread, and there was another red thread that was even lighter in color and so thin that it was almost invisible.

"It's so pale, it can't be my problem, right?"

Lin Chuan coughed lightly and flicked his fingertips slightly, and the two light red threads broke and disappeared without a trace.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what happened in the past few years. Ah Chuan, why don't you confess now?"

Jiang Wanying crossed her arms over her chest, her tone full of urging that left no room for avoidance.

"It's a long story..."

Lin Chuan cleared his throat, and before he could continue, he suddenly shuddered and changed the subject:

"It's so cold today, can anyone warm my hands?"

(End of the book)

……

The author's words:

Having written this far, the book has come to an end, and what follows is nothing more than a daily life of drunkenness and dreams.

As for the plot holes, I have almost filled in all of them that I can think of, and there shouldn't be any that will affect the plot.

This was my first time writing a novel, and it was nearly 1.4 million words. It took me nearly a year to write it, which was not easy. Fortunately, I finished it successfully. Thank you for your company along the way.

I haven't decided on a new book yet. I plan to take some time to finish it and will not publish it for the time being, so I don't have an exact time. If you guys come across my new book one day, you can leave a message: "It really is you, oops."

Gentlemen, see you again if the opportunity arises.
