I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

Gu Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he dared not delay for even the slightest moment.

Transforming into a bolt of lightning, it burst out of the Ten Thousand Bones Cave and hurtled towards the Soul-Severing Gorge in the mortal world!

"Wan Yin! Wait for me!"

...

Half a day later, at Broken Soul Gorge.

Gu Yun, like a raging beast, crashed down in the center of the Broken Soul Canyon.

He nervously looked around.

There was no blood-red barrier blocking the sky, no terrifying crater leveled by self-destruction, and no nauseating laughter of the Yin Sha Old Demon.

The entire canyon was quiet, with only a few ordinary low-level demon birds circling on the cliff face.

The butterfly effect has taken effect!

Because the Yin Sha Old Demon died and his Dao disappeared, the deadly situation in the present world that almost caused Gu Yun's death was directly erased from the root!

So... what about Wan Yin?

Gu Yun's heart pounded wildly, and his divine sense surged outward without reservation.

Less than ten miles away, at the foot of a cliff, a familiar fluctuation of early-stage Golden Core spiritual energy, accompanied by several clear and delicate shouts, came from below!

"Set up formation! Don't let this Tier 3 Twin-Tailed Azure Phosphorous Serpent escape!"

Gu Yun flashed and stood on the cliff.

Below, a woman dressed in a plain white gown, with an exquisite and elegant appearance, was holding a golden longsword and directing several disciples of the Golden Sun Sect to besiege a demonic snake at the early stage of the third rank.

She moved with agility, displaying her early-stage Golden Core cultivation with ease, her brows revealing a dashing and heroic spirit.

Who else could it be but Su Wanyin?!

Seeing Su Wanyin, who was alive and well, even energetically directing the battle, Gu Yun's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into his stomach.

"It's good that you're alive...it's good that you're alive."

Gu Yun stood on the cliff top, her silver hair fluttering in the wind.

He didn't make a sound to disturb her, but simply watched quietly as the little girl who had kowtowed to him had grown into a fairy.

Now that the course of fate has been corrected, there's no need to disturb her life anymore.

Gu Yun smiled with relief, took out a formless iron mask from his storage ring, put it on his face, and turned to leave, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.

However, just as Gu Yun turned around...

Su Wanyin below seemed to sense something.

With a swift stroke of her sword, she severed the head of the two-tailed Azure Phosphorous Serpent. Then, she abruptly raised her head, her clear eyes fixed on the masked figure in black robes on the cliff top, who was about to leave!

"Pure physical pressure...no magical fluctuations..."

Su Wanyin's pupils contracted sharply. She remembered the masked man who had kicked her flying boat away a few days ago outside the gate of Hanyue Palace!

"My benefactor!"

Su Wanyin shouted desperately, her eyes instantly turning red. She even abandoned the inner core of the demon snake and transformed into a golden streak of light, rushing towards Gu Yun on the cliff top like a madwoman!

"My benefactor! Please don't go! Wanyin knows you have your reasons for leaving Hanyue Palace!"

On the cliff top, Gu Yun, who was just about to make a cool exit, stumbled and almost fell off the cliff.

His face behind the mask twitched violently; he looked completely distraught.

Holy crap?!

This brat's imagined scenario, it seems, transcends the altered timeline and can seamlessly connect with it?!

"My benefactor! Please don't go! Wanyin knows you have your reasons for leaving Hanyue Palace!"

Su Wanyin's cries echoed between the cliffs of Broken Soul Gorge.

Cliff top.

Gu Yun's legs, which were preparing to sprint, froze in mid-air.

He carried Su Wantian on his back, his face hidden behind the mask, revealing no expression.

"Dilemma"

Gu Yun twitched the corner of his mouth.

This silly girl's ability to conjure up wild ideas is even more outrageous than the deductions of the Tianyan Sect.

According to his plan, history was changed, and the deadlock was broken.

He could have easily just walked away.

He returned to the Cold Moon Palace to live a peaceful life with his wife, letting this karmic entanglement dissipate.

But when his divine sense swept down and he saw the frail figure desperately flying towards him, his heart clenched.

He suddenly closed his eyes.

Images from that non-existent time and space flooded my mind.

Su Wanyin burned her golden core, her whole body covered in blood.

It fell from the sky.

She grew colder and colder in his arms.

"Wanyin's life was already given an extra thirty-one years."

"To die in my senior's arms, Wan Yin has no regrets."

Those words were like needles, piercing his heart with pain.

Gu Yun opened her eyes.

The escapism in their eyes was gone, replaced by a sense of relief.

"Now, don't I even have the courage to face a silly girl who would risk her life for me?"

"Even if that tigress Qianyan finds out and tries to draw her sword to kill me, I'll accept it today!"

call.

A strong wind blew across the cliff top.

Gu Yun did not take that next step.

He turned around.

Su Wanyin flew over in a hurry.

Gu Yun raised his large, dark bronze hand and placed it on the cold, formless iron mask on his face.

Click.

A soft sound.

He casually removed the mask and tossed it into his storage ring.

He removed the disguise of his sinister, demonic aura.

A head of dazzling silver-gray hair danced wildly in the wind.

That face was both handsome and domineering, carrying the aura of an ancient, primordial beast.

A blood-red butterfly mark glowed eerily between his brows.

All of this is exposed to the sunlight.

"Whoosh!"

Su Wanyin's figure suddenly stopped three zhang away from the top of the cliff.

She hung motionless in mid-air.

His eyes were fixed on that face.

That face is etched into my soul; I've drawn it countless times and searched for it for thirty-one years.

Yes, it was him.

The benefactor who pulled her out of the mire of despair in the Sunset Swamp, amidst a sky full of lightning.

"Yes, my benefactor."

Su Wanyin's voice trembled, and the golden longsword in her hand clattered off the cliff.

Even the magic that allowed her to fly collapsed.

His body went limp and he landed on the rocks at the top of the cliff.

He staggered forward two steps, then bent his knees as if about to kneel.

"Wanyin, I've finally found you!"

Her knees hadn't even touched the ground yet.

A gentle yet irresistible force held her firmly in place.

Gu Yun strode forward.

The irritability he displayed outside the gates of Hanyue Palace was gone.

He reached out his large hand, grabbed Su Wanyin's arm, and pulled her up.

"You are now the renowned Sunset Fairy of the Northern Spiritual Realm, a Golden Core stage cultivator, so why do you still kneel down at the drop of a hat like before?"

Looking at the stunningly beautiful female cultivator standing before him, Gu Yun's lips curled into a doting smile, like that of an elder.

He reached out and gently wiped away the tears rolling down Su Wanyin's cheeks with his rough fingertips.

"You've cultivated day and night for the past thirty-one years; you must have suffered a lot, right?"

Gu Yun's voice was very soft, but there was a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

Only he himself knows.

The lively girl in front of him was someone he had snatched back from the clutches of death by sacrificing twenty-two years of his lifespan.

Feeling the burning heat of Gu Yun's fingertips, and hearing that familiar voice that he hadn't heard for thirty-one years.

Su Wanyin could no longer hold back.

"Wow!"

This usually aloof and revered fairy of the Golden Sun Sect was now like a lost child who had finally found her parents.

She threw herself into Gu Yun's arms without hesitation.

She clung tightly to his strong waist and burst into tears.

"My benefactor! Wanyin misses you so much. Wanyin dares not sleep, dares not stop, for I am afraid that if I walk too slowly, I will never be able to catch up with your pace again."

Her tears soaked Gu Yun's chest.

The sobs contained thirty-one years of grievances and longing.

Gu Yun's body stiffened for a moment.

In the past, to avoid getting involved in romantic entanglements and to prevent the Ice and Snow Sword Master on Heartless Peak from getting jealous, he would have pushed this girl away as if he had been electrocuted.

But at this moment, he did not.

He sighed and gently patted Su Wanyin's back with his large hand, like comforting a frightened kitten.

"Alright, alright, you've already reached the Core Formation stage, why are you still crying like a little kitten?"

Gu Yun let her hug him, his gaze fixed on the distant sea of ​​clouds, his voice low and gentle.

"You caught up with me, Wanyin. You didn't let me down."

bottom of the cliff.

Several disciples of the Golden Sun Sect who had just finished dealing with the corpse of the Twin-Tailed Azure Phosphorous Serpent looked up and saw their own pure and aloof Fairy Su, who was indifferent to any genius.

At that moment, she was tightly hugging a silver-haired man and wailing.

"Thud!"

Several disciples nearly dropped their jaws to the ground, their eyeballs shattering into pieces.

"I... I didn't see it wrong, did I?"

"Shut up! Turn around if you don't want to die! Can't you see that's the benefactor the elder has been searching for for thirty-one years?!"

The disciples were so frightened that they quickly turned around, covered their ears, and trembled.

On the cliff top.

Su Wanyin cried for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before she calmed down.

She realized she was still holding her benefactor, and her pretty face instantly turned red.

She quickly stepped out of Gu Yun's arms, lowered her head, and twisted the hem of her clothes like a child who had done something wrong.

"My benefactor, I'm sorry, Wanyin lost her composure."
