After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

"Are you sure you don't want the temple to issue you citizenship cards?"

Number 14 was somewhat gloating, saying that even if their crimes were pardoned, they probably wouldn't be able to go back.

The planet has been released; how can mortals break through the void and return to their small world?

Sheng Yunchao took Lu Sijian's hand and led her toward the forbidden area.

Countless stars followed and escorted them into the depths of the forbidden area.

The priests couldn't help but follow.

The scene deep within the forbidden area was completely different, with starlight crowding together, creating a winding path.

At the end of the road was a majestic gate, which Sheng Yunchao pushed open every night to enter the forbidden area.

The gate burst open with a roar, revealing a river below—which turned out to be a spatial rift.

Goodbye.

"Be happy."

The starlight has reached this point; it cannot go any further.

The black-haired priest's pupils constricted, and he instinctively cried out to stop them, "No, it's too dangerous! The gales in the spacetime rift will tear a human body apart..."

Sheng Yunchao glanced at him and stepped into the river.

Not only was the black-haired priest stunned, but the other priests were also shocked. How could a mortal body directly step into a spacetime rift?

Does it not require setting up an array for guidance? Does it not require magical protection?

"Who exactly are you?" The black-haired priest frowned.

Sheng Yunchao didn't answer, but turned around and stretched out his hand to Lu Sijian, "A-Jian, come here."

The black-haired priest instinctively reached out to grab Lu Sijian, but grasped only air.

Lu Sijian quickly stepped forward and threw herself into Sheng Yunchao's arms, as light as a butterfly.

Sheng Yunchao hugged her tightly, his coat covering her body and blocking her view.

“Let’s go home,” he said, glancing one last time at the black-haired priest in the distance.

That look in his eyes was one of clear understanding. If he didn't have the ability to take Lu Sijian away, the other party would definitely force Lu Sijian to stay.

Unfortunately, he had endured so many years to finally achieve his goal, so how could he possibly give it up so easily?

He turned around and walked towards the spacetime rift.

The black-haired priest stared at the empty spacetime rift and remained silent for a long time.

After a longer period of time, he waved his robe, and a contract appeared before him.

That was the soul contract that Lu Sijian initially made, stipulating that Lu Sijian would offer up her luck, and he would have to reward her with 300 billion.

Fortunately, the rewards haven't been distributed yet, so there's still time.

Since she wanted freedom, he should give her freedom; this was the last thing he could do for her.

He waved his hand, and the contract exploded with a bang. At the same time, the backlash made his chest feel tight.

"Lord Number 3!" Several priests stared at him in shock. How could he unilaterally break the contract?

The black-haired priest raised his eyes coldly, unleashing the oppressive aura of a superior. "The temple rules need to be revised. Colleagues, let's have a meeting!"

Lu Sijian had a thousand and one roundabout ways to kill the No. 1 priest, but she insisted on doing it in front of all the priests in order to intimidate them.

Even ants can cause trouble. If the gods still dare to toy with other people's lives, then they should be prepared to be killed.

In recent years, the priests have acted recklessly, and the probability of planetary destruction has gradually increased, which has long violated the original intention of the temple.

It's time to make a change.

-

When Lu Sijian woke up, it was already daylight outside.

The window was slightly ajar, and a breeze blew in, causing the wind chimes under the eaves to tinkle.

She smelled the fragrance of flowers and suddenly realized that the long winter was over and it was springtime outside.

"Young Miss, you're awake?" A familiar voice rang out. She turned her head and realized that it was Wang Ma, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Wang Ma, where is this?" She sat up, looking at the unfamiliar furnishings in the room.

Wang Ma stepped forward excitedly, wiping away her tears, "May the Bodhisattva protect us!"

He paused for a moment, then added, "This is the house you bought!"

After she explained, Lu Sijian finally understood that this was a detached villa that she had bought for Wang Ma when she went to Wang Ma's hometown.

She was worried that Wang Ma would be implicated in the plot, so she specially bought this house for Wang Ma to live in her old age.

To avoid being noticed by anyone with ulterior motives, she entrusted a lawyer and a property management company to manage the house, and then notified Wang Ma to take possession of the house at a designated time.

"How did I get here? Where is Sheng Yunchao?" Lu Sijian's heart tightened involuntarily.

Before Wang Ma could answer, the door was suddenly pushed open, and she looked over anxiously.

"Ah Jian! You're finally awake!" Lou Xiao walked forward happily, holding a bouquet of flowers in his arms.

"Why are you here again!" Wang Ma's face changed drastically, and she said rudely, "This is my home, please leave!"

Lou Xiao looked at Lu Sijian. He couldn't be mistaken. The eagerness and expectation in Lu Sijian's eyes when she saw him just now meant that she still loved him, right?

That's right. They were so in love before, and after all the hardships, they deserve to get married.

“Wang Ma, I did make mistakes before, but I am willing to atone for them. Please give me a chance.” He was confident that he could win Lu Sijian back.

Lu Sijian threw off the covers and got out of bed, not even having time to put on her shoes, and walked straight toward him.

Lou Xiao felt a surge of joy and opened his arms, "Ah Jian..."

Lu Sijian grabbed his collar directly. "How could it be you? Where is Sheng Yunchao?"

Her heart sank. "Something happened to Sheng Yunchao?"

Lou Xiao came to her senses, her face turning pale. So the person she wanted to see was Sheng Yunchao.

“Sheng Yunchao? He’s already had his funeral…” he stated coldly.

Lu Sijian's eyes widened suddenly, and she absentmindedly loosened her grip on his collar. "He's dead?"

Lou Xiao pursed his lips, watching her suffer and feel sad for another man, and his heart ached as if it were being pricked by needles.

"Jian, will you come back with me? I will treat you well for the rest of my life and never let you down..." He was unwilling to give up like this.

Lu Sijian shook off his hand, "Get away!"

“Ah Jian…”

"She told you to get out of here, didn't you hear her?" a voice rang out from the doorway.

Lu Sijian looked up in disbelief. The young man's face was slightly pale. The door was wide open, and he stood there in the wind, his clothes fluttering in the breeze, looking ethereal like a fairy.

The tears she had been holding back instantly rolled down her cheeks. She glanced at him, then ran towards him.

Sheng Yunchao also walked quickly towards her, opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

“Jane, he lied to you, I’m fine.” He gently reassured her, “The funeral was a misunderstanding, I came back with you…”

Lu Sijian looked at his pale face, "But you're injured..."

Sheng Yunchao's soul can travel upstream through the space-time rift to the divine realm, but this time he is using a physical body and has to protect someone, so he is inevitably struck by the gale.

I almost lost my soul.

Lu Sijian was terrified just thinking about it. He wasn't some chosen one with good fortune; without the protection of luck, he would be finished if something unexpected happened.

Is there anything else that's bothering you?

Sheng Yunchao coughed lightly, clenching his fist. "I'm really fine... I just need to rest."

He lowered his eyes. He was certainly not a chosen one, and was not protected by the laws of heaven and earth here.

But he discovered at a very young age that he seemed to be able to control dreams and connect to different times and spaces.

He was once terrified of this ability, worried that he would be lost in the desolate depths of the universe. This sense of emptiness only dissipated after he fell in love with Lu Sijian.

She is the anchor that holds her in place, ensuring she never gets lost in the desolation.
