it, just do it, I'm right behind you, no matter where you go, as long as you turn around, you can see me" 。So don't be afraid of anything, even if a catastrophe comes our way one day, I will protect...Maybe it was the five-colored stone that sensed the endless sea, but as soon as Ye Wen entered Hai Xian Town, he felt an urgent sense of feeling.

It was as if some force were driving her to stand at the edge of the boundless sea, even to throw herself into its depths.

She knew this was the effect of the five-colored stones, because she only had four stones left, and the last one was herself.

She had become one with the other four stones, a feeling so indescribable. All she could say was that in this moment, she felt like a fish in the sea, believing the ocean to be her true home, the shore nothing but an alien place.

Feng Zhaolian was a little nervous. She asked Ye Wenyan, "What should we do next Is the apocalyptic tribulation about to begin A-Yan, can you feel what kind of tribulation it is right now"

Ye Wen didn't know the night temperature, but her intuition told her that this catastrophe was probably more violent than she had originally imagined.

She turned away, forcing herself to face the land instead of the endless sea.

Then he said to the people around him, “Help me find branches to start a fire.”

People don't understand what it means to make a fire.

Third Prince, however, thought of something and immediately asked, "Dancing"

"Yes, dance." Yè Wēn Yán said. "Huo Fenng asks the heavens, before I unleash the catastrophe, I must peer into the secrets of fate."

People immediately went to find firewood.

Feng Zhaolian stayed behind to accompany her, the two of them facing opposite directions: one facing the endless sea and the other with their back to it.

"Only facing the boundless sea, Feng Zhaolian said to Ayan, 'Ayan, do you think I can survive this catastrophe I'm not afraid of death, I just want to live, to see those people from before again.'"

I haven't seen Aheng, nor Xuan Tianhua. No, no, no, I don't like Xuan Tianhua anymore, but I miss him. I haven't forgotten a single thing about those people and those events from before. I always feel that this place isn't my home, I want to go back to D Shun.

Ye Wen tightly grasped her hand, "I understand, I miss them too. I want to live."

"Aren't you even sure if you can live"

"Unsure."

"But if even you can't live, then aren't we even more hopeless"

"I don't know," she shook her head. "But no matter what, we have to keep living. It's so hard to be together again, and I wouldn't want to lose any of you."

She cried.

She rarely cried, but at this moment, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Finally, all the wood was back. Ye Fei Zhou gently wiped away her tears, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, no matter what the outcome is, it's fate. We won't blame you, and the world won't blame you either."

Quan Qinghua said: “On the way here, we also asked many people. If after this catastrophe, humanity's lifespan would break through the confinement of one generation, but a lot of people would die in the catastrophe, would they still be willing to welcome it”

Most people say they're willing!

For over four hundred years, people have grown tired of dying at the age of sixty without a single illness. Knowing exactly when you're going to die is truly unbearable. So, Your Majesty…師妹, rest assured and do as you please. No matter the outcome, we will accept it.”

"Yes! Go ahead and do it, whatever the result, we accept it!"

I don't know when, but somehow Haixian Town ended up crowded with people.

People walked to the beach step by step, watching Ye Wen at night, listening to them talk, and then following Quan Qing painting them together saying: “No matter what the result is, we accept it!”

The sound grew louder and louder, until it was deafening.

Ye Wen saw some familiar faces in the crowd. It seemed like there was the magistrate of Chiyun City, Quan Qingfan, and some people she had met when she was in Chiyun City.

Although she couldn't recall her name, her face seemed familiar.

Those people gave her unwavering looks.

As flames ignited, Ye Wen gazed upon the flickering fire before him. The spiritual energy sealed within his body finally broke free from its confinement, surging outwards with a roar.

She rose into the air, standing upon the flames, a mysterious and ancient dance unfolding beneath the blood-red sky.

When the Phoenix soul was awakened, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison, "Emperor and Empress, Heavenly Years!"

Ye Wen remembered that New Year's Eve, when she had danced with Miss Li.

Her Phoenix Soul awakened Shi Li's Dragon Roar, and at that time, everyone knelt down and shouted: "Emperor Zun Tian Sui."

Phoenix dances in the fire, one cry to ask the heaven.

She opened her mouth and sang, her voice questioning the phoenix—

One question—what is the tribulation of heaven and earth

Phoenix's answer - The sky is falling.

And again—how low the sky has fallen, how deep the earth has sunk.

Phoenix's Answer — Heaven collapses, pressing down on its peak; Earth sinks a hundred zhang.

Three Questions—Solvable

Phoenix Answer — No Solution.

Ye Wen's voice was sharp with defiance, "Can it be undone"

Phoenix—covering the earth, supporting the heavens, or using living souls as offerings.

The flames gradually died out, and Ye Wen once again questioned Huofeng, but received no response.

She floated down from mid-air, her face grave.

The sky is falling, how do we save it

People surrounded her. Ye Fei Zhou placed both his hands on her shoulders, leaning down and saying to her, "Xiao Si, do it! There has to be a beginning. We're all ready, whether it's life or death, it's our own choice. We're doing this for ourselves, not for you, so don't feel any burden."

Quan Qingyun also said, "Feizhou is right, Fourth Miss, let's begin!"

Shall we begin

Ye Wen looked around, "Are we starting" she asked one by one, "Are we starting"

Everyone nodded at her, firmly saying, "Start!"

Okay, let's begin!

She turned, facing the boundless sea. Four multicolored stones materialized from her storage bracelet.

Along with the four stones, a large amount of fresh flowers came out.

After those flowers bloomed, they automatically formed a chain-like shape, encircling Ye Wenyan circle by circle.

The five-colored stone bloomed with four colors of light in Ye Wen's palm, and Ye Wen himself began to emit a faint, soft glow.

Quan Qinghua and Yun Xiao protected Feng Zhaolian, Quan Qingyun pulled Ye Fei Zhou, the group retreated step by step.

Even the full-bellied man no longer concealed himself, speaking directly and causing all the onlookers to retreat.

People retreated far away, but they could still clearly see Ye Wen's gentle figure.

Five beams of light and the sea of flowers below lifted Ye Wenyan into the air. The stone Ye Wenyan held in his hand suddenly flew up.

From her palm it flew to the boundless sea surface, gradually forming a whirlpool.

That whirlpool led straight to the seabed, Ye Wenyan's heart beating rapidly.

She staggered forward, rising into the air with her magic, and plunged towards the vortex.

Just as she was about to plunge into the vortex, a powerful force suddenly surged from the depths of the ocean.

At the same time, a red glow accompanied by immense spiritual power surged upwards.

Ye Wen's eyes widened, staring intently at the swirling vortex below.

The red glow was getting closer and closer, and finally, a figure surged out of the sea along with the red light.

Her tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Shi Li Yuan, I finally see you again."

……

Ye Wen had so many things he wanted to say to Shi Liyuan, and so many grievances he wanted to tell him.

She wanted to tell him everything that had happened these past few days. She also wanted to ask if, after turning into a stone pillar under the sea, his cultivation level had been affected. And she wanted to know if the spirit gathering formation she had set up for him was useless.

But before they could even speak, a cataclysmic upheaval swept across the heavens and earth, leaving them no time to spare.

When the sky falls, it falls. It means what it says on the surface.

The blood-red sky was as if it had been struck hard by something, suddenly pressing down, reaching the top of human heads in the blink of an eye.

Shi Liyuan was dressed in a crimson robe, his face slightly pale. He reached for Ye Wenyan's hand but had to let go immediately.

She heard Shi Lifen's long-lost voice say, "Live on!"

She nodded vigorously and replied, "Survive!"

The Emperor held up the heavens, transforming his spiritual energy into five stone pillars adorned with talismans. With a sweep of his wide sleeves, he immediately propped up the continent's four corners, east, west, south, and north, and another pillar stood in the middle of the boundless sea.

The oppressive weight of the sky finally lifted, but it remained low enough for humans to almost touch.

But people could no longer feel what it was like to touch the sky with their hands. Many were frightened and lay flat on the ground, some crying, some trembling, some standing still, and some unable to adapt to the low air pressure, dying directly.

On the vast continent, cries of sorrow echo everywhere.

Ye Wen turned his head to look at Ye Fei Zhou and the others. Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Shi Li Yuan moved his entire spiritual energy, channeling it continuously to the five stone pillars.

A massive wave, dozens of meters high, surged up on the boundless sea. It was clearly a tsunami, but because of the pillar thrown into the middle of the sea by Shi Liyuan, it had to retreat back on its own.

The sea monsters beneath the waves also surged to the surface, joining forces with Shi Lifen's stone pillar to counteract the booming sound and suppress this vast expanse of sea.

Ye Wen was worried that Shi Liyuan's spiritual power wouldn't last, so he prepared to make a gathering spirit array for him with fresh flowers.

But just at that moment, there was a sudden earthquake. The ground beneath our feet seemed to vanish, and everyone fell downward.

This time, even Ye Fei Zhou and his crew were not spared. They all suffered injuries during the descent.

Ye Wen knew, falling wasn't scary, what was scary was when that fall suddenly stopped.

Just like a person falling from a high altitude, the process besides being frightening, wouldn't cause any harm. The real damage happens in the moment they hit the ground, that is when they shatter into pieces, and there is no way to survive.

She had no idea how long this sinkhole would last, and she had to figure out a way to deal with it before it ended.

At that moment, Shi Liyuan's voice rose above her head: "Ayan, earth-spreading technique!"

She suddenly realized, stretching her hands forward. A large amount of fresh flowers surrounded her, and quickly dispersed, covering the mountains and fields in a blink of an eye.

The subsidence finally gradually subsided after the application of earth-covering techniques.

Even though it was gentle, there was still some impact when it stopped.

This is unavoidable.

She saw Fong Zhaolian spit out a mouthful of blood, and she also saw many people fall to their deaths.

She wanted to use her magic to help those people, but then she saw the ground that had just been calm start shaking and cracking again.

She heard someone shouting "Dragon Turn!", so she transformed her earth-binding technique into a flattening one, turning the flowers into a net that tightly pressed down on the Dragon Turn.

Her spiritual energy was leaking out of control, this was almost the most thorough time she had ever used her spiritual energy in both her past and present life.

She and Shi Liyuan, each holding up the heavens above and pressing down upon the earth below, exerted their full mastery of spirit cultivation. Yet even then, they could not save everyone.

This continent is too vast. Even if the Emperor and Empress used up all their spiritual energy, it would be impossible for their magic to reach every corner of this world.

Gradually, the sky began to press down again, and the earth began to sink.

Shi Lifen began to sacrifice vitality.

Ye Wen raised his head to look at him, tears in his eyes already tinged with blood.

She shook her head at Shili Yuan. "No."

He had no other choice.

"A-Yan, I told you a long time ago, the greater the power Heaven bestows upon me, the greater the responsibility I must bear.

"

Today, even if I let go, will you

To protect this land, it is our destiny.

If this stage can be overcome, the shackles of heaven and earth will inevitably be broken, and the human lifespan will be extended by a century from now on, returning to its original state.

If we can't make it through this level, then we will perish on this land together. We will wait until the next reincarnation and fight against heaven and earth once more.

Ayan, do you dare

Ye Wen smiled, "What do I have to be afraid of When I was born, I never planned to go back alive. Besides, I've already died once, death is nothing terrifying to me."

Shi Li Yuan, then let us support each other, until you and I return to the primordial chaos, we shall wait for the next life to fight again.

"I refuse to believe I can't overcome this Heavenly Mandate!"

The offering of life, from this moment forward, officially begins!

Some saw the Great Emperor suddenly turn white-haired, while others saw the Empress's eyes bleed.

It seems both of them were severely injured, but the pressure from above didn't increase any further.

The earth stopped falling again, and everything seemed to return to peace.

But no one dared to relax their vigilance. They all knew that the current situation was impossible to truly calm down.

As expected, before incense had even burned out, the third round of collapsing heavens and earth began.

Ye Wen used all his might, releasing his spirit energy and vitality, trying his best to care for all the land on the continent.

Shi Li's white hair flew behind him, his hands surged with red light, like a desperate man. The collapsing sky hesitated for a moment under the impact of these two crimson beams.

Just that hesitation, Shi Li Yuan's hands came together, spiritual energy surged and pierced through the entire sky, directly creating a black hole.

Ye Wen saw the situation and was overjoyed, shouting loudly: "The one on top is Shou Yuan who has been imprisoned! Bring Shou Yuan down!"

At the same time, she abandoned her earth magic and directly cast an offensive spell into the black hole 0 in the sky.

The ground collapsed, losing the magical suppression and becoming unsteady.

But Ye Wen knew, this was a rare opportunity. The so-called celestial tribulation would cost many their lives, and it was happening right now.

She and Shi Liyuan attacked the black hole with all their might, unleashing countless spells for an untold amount of time.

Finally, people heard a loud "boom," and then the sky cleared!

The sky cleared up, the blood red was gone, and a bright blue stretched before him as soon as he looked up.

I don't know when the sky went back up, or when the earth settled down.

In the end, when people finally survived this nightmare of a cataclysm, the sun shone again on the earth, and everything was as it had always been, beautiful.

Some people cheered loudly out of excitement, while others wailed in grief over the loss of loved ones.

But whether it was tears or laughter, the survivors all knew that the cosmic catastrophe had passed and that the shackles of heaven and earth had been broken.

From now on, their lifespans were no longer confined by a cycle of twelve years.

They can live past sixty, they can live even longer!!

……

Ye Fei Zhou spat out a mouthful of blood, struggling to stand up.

He went to help the Third Highness up, but he couldn't get him up on one try, and two tries were no good either.

The Third Prince had his eyes tightly shut, completely still. His head and face were covered in blood.

Ye Fei Zhou suddenly panicked!

He knelt down, both hands reaching forward as if to test the Third Prince's breath.

But halfway through reaching out, I lost my courage.

So he changed to lifting her up and rocking her gently, while constantly muttering: "Third Highness, wake up, the celestial catastrophe is over. Wake up, we can go home now."

Qu Qingyun, please don't scare me. I barely made it to today, and I managed to survive this catastrophe. I was going to tell you that we even survived the disaster, so I'm not afraid of anything anymore. I need you to keep your promises from before. I need you to leave Lin'an City, leave the imperial court, and come with me to a beautiful place with mountains and rivers.

These are all the promises you made to me, how can you go back on your word

Quan Qingyun, wake up. You were always the one who got hurt before, why is it your turn this time

Quan Qingyun, listen to me, don't die. If you die, I won't live either.

Perhaps it was because he heard Ye Fei Zhou say he didn't want to live anymore, but the usually silent Quan Qing Yun suddenly coughed.

One cough cleared the chest of some internal injuries, and he regained consciousness.

As soon as I woke up, I saw Ye Fei Zhou weeping with tears streaming down his face.

He suddenly burst into laughter, then with difficulty raised his hand to wipe Ye Fei Zhou's tears, just like when they were little. He wiped the tears away while saying, "Fei Zhou, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will protect you. With me here, no one will dare to hit you again."

Quan Qingfan struggled to climb out of the soil. The moment he emerged, he saw this scene and immediately thought about crawling back into the dirt.

Not far away, Feng Zhaolian and Quan Qinghua worked together to dig Yun Xiao out from the rubble. Unfortunately, he was already dead.

Feng Zhaolian stared blankly at the person in front of her. Because her clothes were torn in the disaster, she saw a scar on Yun Xiao's back.

Remember being uncontrollably pulled back to a time long, long ago, to a time before she was even born into this world, before she was known as Lady Zhaolian.

At that time, she was the Lotus King of Qian Zhou. She had a loyal subordinate who followed her through life and death, named Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao once shielded her from countless calamities, and on one occasion, when he was gravely injured, it was she who personally applied medicine to his wounds.

Later, the wound gradually healed, leaving a long scar on Yun Xiao's back.

It's exactly the same as the one on Yunxiao's back.

She only realized at this moment, that Yun Xiao was Yun Xiao, unchanged from past to present.

……

This catastrophic event claimed the lives of many people.

When Ye Wenyan opened his eyes, he saw Shi Liyuan with white hair.

She suddenly remembered she had sacrificed her vitality to protect this continent, and she raised her arm to look at her hand.

Yet, life still persists, showing not a trace of age.

She was puzzled. Before the catastrophe ended, she had already seen herself covered in wrinkles. Why did it all seem like a fleeting dream now

She asked Shi Liyuan, "Is everything just a dream" After asking, she shook her head. "No, it's not a dream, your hair is still white. Shi Liyuan, tell me what happened"

He reached out and gently stroked her hair, "It's all over. The catastrophe is ended, Heaven has returned a portion of vitality to both of us. So we're both still alive; we just need to recuperate for a while, and our condition will return to its peak."

It's just Ayan. Many people aren't here anymore.

With a wide sweep of his sleeves, a shadow curtain appeared before the two.

Ye Wen struggled to sit up, his gaze fixed on the shadowy curtain.

That was the scene of Lin'an City!

After the earth dragon's upheaval on New Year's Day, the capital of Northern Qi had remained under Shi Lifen's formation.

Even though later Shili Yuchi sank to the bottom of the sea, the formation had weakened somewhat, it was still much stronger than elsewhere.

So-called solidity is only relative.

In the face of a celestial catastrophe, anything solid seems so small and useless. Heaven's Way was meant to oppose Shi Liyuan, and that formation in front of Heaven's Way is like a joke.

The battle formations were shattered, Kyoto lay in ruins. Countless familiar faces, those she knew so well, perished in this catastrophe.

She saw that many people were gone…

Ye Qingmei is gone, Ye Feiyu is gone, Ye Qingtun is gone, Quen Qingyin is gone.

Ye Chu Lian was alive, the Liu family was gone.

The Regent was running away, and someone grabbed him, saying: "The heavenly treasures have already collapsed since the blood rain fell from the sky. Our private soldiers are all gone, as well as the treasures inside. Even the Sixth Prince is finished."

It was only then that Ye Wen learned that the Regent King's private soldiers and the missing Quan Qinglu were hidden in that legendary treasure of heaven and earth.

But she also needs to go into the treasure chest for something, right So that's it then

The painting of death continued, Jiang Wanting was gone, the entire Jiang family perished. Chi Hongfang and his wife worked together to save Chi Feifei, but the couple died together.

At least the palace still stands, though it has collapsed in parts. It's still half intact.

Quan Qingcheng is still alive, Empress Yu is still alive, Zhuai'er is still alive, Wu Fu is still alive, even Shi Yunchen is still alive.

Mu Qianqiu was gone, the mansion of the First Grade General collapsed with a deafening boom, but the Eastern Residence next to it remained intact.

The outer city was nearly destroyed by over half, but the Shi Xuan Medicine Hall was still standing.

Bai Chu Xia and Xiao Jue lived, the Shi family siblings lived.

The Ministry of Time collapsed...

The screen constantly shifts, bringing forth many familiar faces.

She saw Chang Xueqiao and Ye Wushuang, as well as a child Chang Xueqiao was holding.

Unfortunately, none of them survived.

She also saw Tianshui City, the entire city no longer existed after the catastrophe, everyone was dead.

Even the people in the old houses of the Chiang and Ye families, not a single one survived.

She also saw Lou Qinghan's body, dead with such unwillingness.

I also saw the bodies of Lian Wang and the Long Princess. They died with such reluctance.

This catastrophe, the dead seemed to outnumber the living, the casualties were greater than she had imagined.

But the survivors held no resentment towards her or Shi Liyuan. In fact, many of them knelt down in the direction of Wuchang Hai and bowed their heads incessantly.

Shi Lifen told her, "The shackles of heaven and earth have been broken, and mankind is no longer bound by the limit of a hundred years. They can live to sixty, or even a hundred years old. Ah-Yan, look, people haven't blamed us for causing the disaster. They all understand the significance of what we did. Heaven has finally returned to its rightful course, our mission, is also complete."

The mission was complete, but the treasures of heaven and earth no longer existed. She could no longer return to where she wanted to be.

Ye Wen covered his face with his hand and wept softly.

One year later.

Haixian Town has been rebuilt, but after this reconstruction, no one could enter easily again.

Because the Emperor and Empress joined forces to set up a barrier here.

Outside the barrier, is worldly life.

Within the barrier, it was their paradise.

The Emperor and Empress personally built wooden houses by the sea, two stories high, ten in a row.

Ye Wen thought, this scene was quite like the feeling of modern-day townhouses.

It's no wonder they have so many houses built. There are just so many people who cling to them and want to live together.

Ye Fei Zhou rowed a small boat, bringing back Feng Zhao Lian to catch fish.

Feng Zhaolian swaggered ashore, fishnet in hand. From afar, she shouted to the shore: "Quan Qingcheng! You're in for a treat today! We caught a huge fish, enough for everyone to share!"

Quan Qinghua and Quan Qingyun quickly rushed forward to help, one helping Feng Zhaolian carry the fish, and the other helping Yefei Zhou dock the boat.

Today, Quan Qingcheng arrived with his Empress Ye Chulian and his adopted younger sister, Quan Zhuier.

Ye Wen also didn't expect the ending to be like this in the end, but after thinking about it, he felt that this ending was the best ending.

Even the little ones said, "Being a princess is much stronger than being a queen. Now some people even call me princess, and I can walk around in Lin'an City with swagger."

Ye Chu Lian then said, “You could have lived well in Lin'an City, couldn't you Besides, being the emperor’s woman isn’t that bad either. Look at Quan Qingcheng, he doesn't have a single concubine now, and he says he won't take any concubines into the palace in the future, having me is enough.”

"That's right," said Zhui'er, "you gave birth to triplets for him in one go. What could those old ministers say"

"Anyway, I don't want to marry anyone. I just want to be a princess and maybe take in a husband later on. Just thinking about it makes me so happy."

Chi Fei Fei, who had been following behind, said: "Aren't you staying with the Empress"

Zhu'er pouted, "There's no way I'd let anyone get close to me! With the Emperor here, nobody else can even think about approaching my lady."

One really shouldn't get close to the young lady of that house because she is already four months pregnant.

The Lord Emperor personally takes care of everything every day, never delegating to others.

In four months, he had successfully plumped up Ye Wen by three rounds.

Ye Wenyan felt he couldn't eat anymore, if he ate any more, he'd be a ball.

But the Divine Emperor had just finished stewing the fish soup, and was coaxing her, “Just have a bowl, I’ve been stewing it for two hours. If you don’t drink it, my effort will be wasted.”

Ye Wen then went further and further down the path of getting fat.

Five months later, a set of twins arrived.

The name was given to him by the astrologer Yun Chen.

The boy's name is Shi Hezao, and the girl's name is Shi Fanghua.

Yè Wēn Yán felt very good.

When the twins celebrated their first full moon, Quán Qīngchéng used this as an excuse to take the Empress and his younger sister to Hǎixiān Town.

Now that he comes and goes with ease, thanks to Ye Wen's teleportation array in the palace. It only takes some materials to travel back and forth instantly.

Therefore, the emperor, who had already taken personal control of the government, became a frequent visitor to Haixian Town.

But this time, the full moon gift brought more than just the usual visitors.

And on the sea, a large ship was sailing in from afar!

Ye Wen stood by the sea, looking out at the ship that was getting closer and closer. He soon saw the man standing on the deck, with the look she had longed for in her past and present lives.

At that moment, tears streamed down my face.

Ah Heng, I finally see you!

(The end)e, one day she would be able to run out of this palace and find the real Quan Qinglu. 。People in the mansion rushed around, grabbing all the tools they could find to put out the fire. 。Ye Hongzhuang...
