Shen Li stared at the movement blankly, thinking that this place where the ancient gods were enshrined should be a very quiet place, and no one should be allowed to enter easily. But... is it really okay to put such an important place in such a room? Are the people in the heavens too comfortable to even know how to guard against it! They don't even know to set up a barrier at the door...

"Is it too late for me to go out now?"

Although Shen Li is a member of the Immortal Realm clan and has never liked the style of the immortals in the current heaven, he still has some respect for the ancient gods.

Xingzhi lowered his head and smiled: "It's too late." He looked up at the flickering spirit tablets in the sky and said, "It's not a big deal. Since you are here, just worship. No one has come to see them for a long time."

Since Xingzhi said so, Shen Li was not in a hurry to go out. She looked up at the stars in the sky. Those spirit tablets seemed to have spirituality. They gradually formed a circle, surrounding Shen Li and Xingzhi in the middle, as if a group of people were surrounding them to explore. Xingzhi had a faint smile on his lips: "This place is the same as the scenery outside the sky. They are usually arranged in the shape of stars and will not move around. Today, seeing you coming, they all came to watch the excitement. They are very happy."

Shen Li glanced at him and saw that although the smile on his lips was light, it dyed the joyful mood on his eyebrows, which was very different from his usual light smile. Shen Li knew that Xingzhi was really happy at this time. She turned her eyes to look at the floating cold spirit tablets, and felt a little sad and desolate in her heart.

For Shen Li, all she saw were the words engraved on the spirit tablets, but Xingzhi saw his former friends, some friends who would never come back. Xingzhi has lived until now, and no one knows how many years he has lived. He is called a respected god by the three realms, enjoying the highest courtesy, living alone in the sky, lying on the vast stars, watching the world's major events, but no one can accompany him anymore.'

He stands too high, and no one can touch him.

"Do you feel... lonely?" Shen Li asked this question inexplicably. Xingzhi turned to look at her, was silent for a while, and smiled: "Why do you ask?" "

I don't know what you think, but if one day the Immortal Realm Lord, Rouya, and my generals and subordinates all become speechless tablets, and I have to live alone in the empty Immortal Realm Realm..." Shen Li paused, "I will definitely not survive."

Xingzhi smiled lightly: "You will get used to it, and I have a heavy responsibility. Whether it is loneliness or life and death, it is not under my control."

Shen Li looked at him: "Shouldn't God hold everything in the world in his palm?"

"I guess so." Xingzhi said, "But I am the only exception. God cannot have private feelings because his power is too strong, you probably know it, and life and death are not something I can control. Unless I turn into the energy of heaven and earth and stay in the mountains and rivers forever when my life ends, otherwise, I can't die."

Shen Li was stunned: "God also has... a day of death?"

"Naturally, all things have life and cannot die. Even gods cannot escape this. Although my life is long, it will eventually end. When that day comes, I will follow the power of Heaven and turn into a ray of vitality between heaven and earth, and merge into the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. Although my divine form will be destroyed, my divine power will remain forever and continue to guard all things and stars."

Shen Li was stunned when he heard this: "In that case, then these gods have all died of old age and turned into a ray of vitality between heaven and earth?"

Xingzhi shook his head: "Thirty percent of them have reached the end of their lifespans, but the remaining seventy percent all had accidents before their lifespans ended. They did things that violated Heaven's will, were stripped of their divinity, and fell into reincarnation forever, experiencing all the sufferings of the world. Their divine forms are destroyed, all their divine powers are gone, and the magic they left between heaven and earth during their lifetime will also disappear." He looked up, "These spirit tablets can be regarded as the kindness of Heaven, leaving a little thought for the remaining people."

He watched with his own eyes the people around him leave one by one, and the number of tablets here gradually increased.

"That is to say, the gods who follow the way of heaven and die at the end of their life span will still have their divine power remain in the world, while the gods whose divinity is taken away by the way of heaven will leave nothing behind..." Shen Li was stunned, and suddenly a terrible thing flashed through his mind, "If something happens to you now and your divinity is taken away, then all your spells will disappear. As for Xu Tianyuan..."

Xingzhi nodded: "Xu Tianyuan is another space torn out by me. If my divinity is taken away, there will be no divine power to maintain the spells, and it will naturally disappear."

Shen Li's face sank: "Thousands of scorpion-tailed fox-like monsters will run out?"

"No." Xingzhi's lips curved slightly, "They will disappear with the disappearance of Xu Tianyuan, but at the same time, the Immortal Realm world will also be implicated by Xu Tianyuan and fall together."

Shen Li was shocked: "Why!"

"Even for gods, it is extremely difficult to open up another space as huge as that." Xingzhi waved his hand casually, and a ray of light passed through his palm. "Even if it is opened up, it will be like this light, fleeting. Only by relying on the power of mountains and rivers and borrowing the natural way can the Ruins of Heaven be achieved. So I borrowed the power of the five elements of the Immortal Realm Realm and poured in divine power to cast the Ruins of Heaven. From then on, the Immortal Realm Realm and the Ruins of Heaven were connected together. Live and die together."

Shen Li stared at Xingzhi in disbelief, and said angrily: "You actually did such a thing that disregarded the descendants of the Immortal Realm Realm!" Connecting the Ruins of Heaven and the Immortal Realm Realm, if there is any turmoil in the Ruins of Heaven one day, wouldn't the Immortal Realm Realm be the first to suffer! "At that time, opening up another space was the fastest way to solve the chaos of monsters."

Xingzhi's voice was slightly cold. Even now, he did not hesitate at all when talking about the decision of that year. "If I didn't do that, the Immortal Realm Realm would be gone now." Shen Li gritted her teeth. She knew that in a battle, sometimes sacrifices must be made for certain interests. But such a sacrifice... "You can't let anything happen to you." Shen Li gritted her teeth and said, "Not even a little bit. You must live to the end of your life."

Xingzhi lowered his head and smiled, "It's natural. What's more, I'm the only god in Tianwai Tian today. The entire Tianwai Tian is maintained by my divine power alone. If something happens to me, Tianwai Tian will overturn, and all the stars, rocks and tiles will fall on the Nine Heavens, which will surely cause the Nine Heavens to collapse and endanger all the people in the world."

Xingzhi said it lightly, but it weighed down Shen Li's heart with a heavier stone. Thinking about what Youlan said to her, Shen Li lowered her eyebrows. She was right. Xingzhi must not get into trouble. No one can afford to lose him, because he is no longer just himself. Such a heavy responsibility is really hard to bear... "So." Xingzhi spoke softly, his voice was very light, but his emotions were surging.

Even Shen Li, who was as slow as he was, could sense it. His eyes reflected the bright stars, and he said word by word, "Shen Li, I can't like you." The warning in his words was so obvious that no one knew who he was warning. Shen Li's heart twitched inexplicably, and she turned her head away: "God, you are joking. At this point, how can Shen Li dare to have any illusions about the God? As long as the God doesn't tease Shen Li from time to time..."

"I can't control it." Xingzhi suddenly interrupted Shen Li. He said such irresponsible words with a smile, "I can't control it, I want to tease you."

This guy...

Shen Li clenched her fists, suppressed the anger that surged up, turned her head, stared at Xingzhi, and said coldly, not even bothering to use the honorific title to save face: "What do you mean?" He said that he had a heavy responsibility and couldn't be emotional, but he was also the one who said this to hold her back. He was the one who pushed away, and he was also the one who held tightly. Shen Li couldn't help it at this time, "Are you sick?"

Xingzhi nodded: "I guess, I have some problem."

Is this considered admitting something...

Shen Li stared at him, and suddenly felt that there was such a moment, all kinds of emotions surged in her heart, but she couldn't find any words to say. The room was silent for a long time, and even the spirit tablets flew back to their own positions. Shen Li slowly reacted to Xingzhi's meaning in her heart, and then she felt that this person was really despicable. His words were so ambiguous, but the meaning behind them was so clear - all emotions should be restrained. But he said he couldn't do it, so... Shen Li suddenly nodded: "In that case." She took a deep breath, holding back the stuffiness in her chest, staring at Xingzhi, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "This king will help the God to control this problem." This is not something she can control alone, but what can she do? A person who shoulders the heavy responsibility of the world is playing tricks in front of her... Then let her do it, there is nothing that Lord BiCang can't cut off.

Xingzhi chuckled, "Thank you, Your Highness." Xingzhi glanced sideways into Shen Li's dark pupils, which reflected the sky full of stars, making Xingzhi absent-minded for a moment. He turned his head and blinked, "I hope Your Highness... don't treat the symptoms and not the root cause." Shen Li sneered, "I will definitely live up to your trust." She turned around and was about to leave, but Xingzhi suddenly called out again, "Your Highness..."

Shen Li paused and waited for a while before Xingzhi said, "Xingzhi has something else to ask of you." Without waiting for Shen Li to agree, he said, "I don't know how long I have lived or when my life will end, but if one day, my spirit and body disappear and turn into the vitality of heaven and earth, leaving a spirit tablet here, I hope Your Highness will come to visit and clean it up when you are free."

Even though she had made up her mind not to pay attention to Xingzhi, Shen Li couldn't help but look back slightly at this time: "Why me?" Xingzhi smiled, "Because, you are so nice to look at."

Because, if there comes that day, after that, he still wants Shen Li to come and see him. She knows her behavior better than anyone else. Memories won't last long, but if you look at her often, you'll remember her for a longer time. If she forgets him early... then he... will be so lonely.
