"The people who attacked the Immortal Realm Realm and the Heaven Realm have been wiped out by our Immortal Realm Realm Lord BiCang." The envoy from the Immortal Realm Realm, dressed in a plain robe, bowed his head to the ground, and quietly reported to the Heavenly Lord, "The Immortal Realm King specially sent me to report this, hoping that the Heavenly King would be at ease."

The Heavenly Heavenly Lord nodded: "Very good, very good, I didn't expect that Lord BiCang was so capable. May I ask where Lord BiCang is? She has made great contributions in suppressing the bandits this time, and I want to reward her well."

"Thank you for your kindness, but... no need." The envoy of the Immortal Realm Realm placed his hands on the ground and clenched them into fists. He was silent for a long time, and finally controlled his emotions. He said in a businesslike manner, "The prince has died in the battle."

The Heavenly Heavenly Lord was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he suddenly heard a "creak".

Someone pushed open the door of the Heavenly Realm Council Hall without reporting. In the backlight, a man in a white robe stood at the door.

The people in the room couldn't see the expression on his face.

He only saw that he stood there for a long time, as if he was distracted or in a daze. But when he stepped into the house, his expression was no different from usual.

"Why are you here, Lord God?" The Heavenly Lord stood up to greet him, but Xingzhi seemed not to hear him.

He just stared at the messenger from the Immortal Realm Realm and asked, "Who were you talking about just now?" The messenger saw him, saluted properly, and said, "Lord God, the Immortal Realm Realm's Lord Bicang Shen Li was killed in the East China Sea yesterday."

Xingzhi was silent for a long time, then shook his head, "Ridiculous, how can such news be reported without verification." When these words came out, not only the messenger was stunned, but even the Heavenly Lord was also stunned.

The communication between the two worlds must not be reported without verification. How could Xingzhi not know about this...

The messenger kowtowed to the ground: "If it is not true, I am willing to be struck by lightning..." Xingzhi's expression turned cold: "Don't swear in front of the gods, it will come true."

The messenger clenched his fists tightly, his joints turned white, and his voice could not be concealed.

Hoarseness, "Lord God doesn't know, I hope to be struck by lightning."

The room was silent for a while. One could almost hear the faintest breathing, but there was no sound coming from Xingzhi's side, as if his heart had stopped beating. "Where's the body?" He asked, believing the news after all.

"The prince perished with the enemy in the East China Sea. The body disappeared in the East China Sea and could not be found.

The general who rushed there at that time only found two broken guns." Xingzhi was silent: "In the East China Sea... where?" "The sea is vast. After the general who found the broken gun came back, he could no longer find the location at that time..."

The messenger seemed to be touched, "No one knows where the prince is now." I don't know what feeling passed through my heart, and it hurt so much that it seemed like blood was about to overflow, but an invisible force grabbed the wound fiercely and stopped the bleeding roughly.

Xingzhi looked normal, as if he had no emotions at all, and said to the Heavenly Lord: "Yesterday I sensed a slight change in the air flow in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, and it seemed that something happened in the Mortal Realm.

Today I heard that Lord BiCang died in the human world. I must have had a fierce battle in his life. Lord BiCang is very powerful, and his remaining power may harm the human world. I want to go down to the world to take a look. What do you think, Lord of Heaven?"

Xingzhi said so, there was no room for refusal. The Heavenly Lord nodded: "That's good, Lord of Heaven, can you use me to find a few more helpers for you?"

"No, they will get in the way." Although Xingzhi would say things that embarrassed the Heavenly Lord in the past, he would never be so blunt.

The Heavenly Lord coughed twice: "In this case, God, your life depends on the world, please take care of yourself." Xingzhi was about to turn around and go out, but the messenger from the Immortal Realm world called him: "Wait a minute, God. The general who was present at the time said that he had heard the enemy calling out, and he was using the Water Stopping Technique.

And as far as I know, in this world, only God Xingzhi knows this technique. I don't doubt God, but..." "Water Stopping Technique?" Xingzhi glanced at the messenger from the Immortal Realm world, "What they used must not be the Water Stopping Technique."

After that, he turned and left without any further explanation.

On the way to the underworld, Xingzhi thought that even not long ago, he was still thinking that Shen Li might become a troublesome existence, so it would be better for her to disappear, but he never thought that she would really disappear so easily, and he never thought that when he really disappeared, it would be so heartbreaking for him. Auspicious clouds were under his feet, and he arrived at the human world in a flash.

The Heavenly Lord was right. He was a god, connected to the world. This life no longer belonged to him.

He should protect the people of the three realms and put the overall situation first. He had so many "no's", "can'ts", and "may nots"... The clouds were low over the sea, the wind was blowing and the waves were surging. It was the time when a rainstorm was about to come.

Xingzhi stood on the East China Sea, watching the huge waves below and listening to the thunder above his head. But the world was so quiet to him. "Shen Li."

He called out softly, spitting out this name. The wound in his heart that was clenched tightly seemed to be torn open suddenly, and the biting cold wind filled in.

He looked around, wanting to find a figure, but there was no way to find it in the vast sky and the vast sea.

Thunderbolts flashed, and torrential rain poured down in an instant. Between the sky and the sea, only Xingzhi stood in white clothes. Lightning and thunder passed through Xingzhi's body. How could a god fear a mere lightning strike?

However, in this instant of light and shadow transformation, after the deafening thunder, he suddenly saw a figure struggling in the huge waves. She stretched out her hand and asked him for help in pain: "Xing... um... Xingzhi..."

The huge wave buried her head. Xingzhi's pupils shrank, and he didn't think about anything. He rushed down almost instinctively. He stretched out his hand and grabbed only a handful of seawater flowing through his fingers...

It was an illusion... The huge wave rushed over from behind him, and he just stared blankly at his empty palm, stunned by being buried by the big wave. In the waves, he couldn't hear the thunder, but every lightning flash was like a sharp blade that cut through time and space, dissecting the bloody memories of Shen Li from his mind.

Those happy or angry scenes became knives that tortured him, over and over again, tearing countless holes in his heart and bleeding.

No matter how he panicked and wanted to clench them all and smother them, blood still flowed out from the corners, and then like the broken teacup yesterday, it made his heart a mess, making people at a loss and unable to clean up. Shen Li, Shen Li...you are really capable.

He suddenly remembered that not long ago, Shen Li was still teasing him, saying that since she met him, she had been seriously injured, and sooner or later, she would be killed by him.

How did he answer? He seemed to say... to compensate her with a life. Shen Li was asking him to fulfill his promise. Xingzhi's lips suddenly hooked a light smile.

After the waves, Xingzhi was soaked. He raised his arm and touched the waves that had just hit him with his fingertips.

A white light flashed, and the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly became much lower, and the temperature was even lower. Xingzhi opened his lips slightly, and as he whispered the word "expand", the sea and the sky seemed to be swept by an extremely cold light.

In just a moment, the sea thousands of miles away had frozen into ice. Xingzhi stood on the undulating sea surface, but at this time he was stepping on the ice surface as hard as bluestone.

The waves were still in the shape of waves, but they were no longer flowing. The thunderclouds in the sky scattered, and the raindrops turned into ice particles, rustling and falling, rolling everywhere.

There was no sound between the sea and the sky, as if everything had returned to silence. Xingzhi stepped quietly on the ice, and with every step, a golden light flashed, and the waves spread out several feet away. He seemed to be looking for something, focusing only on his feet. Xingzhi thought, even if Shen Li turned into ashes, he would find all her ashes in this sea.

He walked forward step by step, not knowing the time, not knowing the day or night, and took every step with concentration. The East China Sea seemed to have no end. No matter how long he walked, there was only the frozen sea in front of him, nothing else.

"God."

A person in front blocked his way. Xingzhi looked up at her: "What's the matter?"

Youlan knelt quietly on the ice: "I hope God will understand the suffering of the people. The East China Sea has been frozen for ten days and ten nights. The people in the East China Sea are suffering. God..."

Youlan saw that Xingzhi's eyes were red because he had not rested for a long time, and his lips were pale. Youlan lowered her eyelids and whispered, "God, please accept my condolences."

This should not be said to the gods. Gods cannot be moved. They are people without sorrow. Since they have no sorrow, how can they talk about condolences.

Xingzhi looked at the endless sea in the distance and smiled suddenly: "Is it obvious?"

Youlan lowered her head and dared not answer.

Xingzhi took two more steps forward: "In the past, I never felt how big the Three Realms were. As a god, it would only take a moment to go anywhere. However, I just realized today that the Three Realms are so big that I can't even find the entire East China Sea." He smiled, "If I can't find it... it's God's will."

After that, he waved his hand, and the water-stopping technique was withdrawn. The atmosphere between heaven and earth changed drastically, and the ice on the sea surface slowly melted.

As the technique was withdrawn, Xingzhi felt a pain in his chest. The frozen East China Sea was against the will of heaven. He was being backfired by the power of heaven...

A mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat. Youlan was shocked when she saw it, and hurried forward to support Xingzhi: "Is the God Lord okay?"

Xingzhi shook his head and wanted to say "It's okay", but as soon as he opened his mouth, another mouthful of hot blood rolled out and fell on the ice that had not yet melted.

Xingzhi grinned and reached out to wipe the blood from his mouth. How could he have thought that he would be so embarrassed in this life, so embarrassed!

It turns out that being attacked by the power of heaven is like this. He tried to hide and hide before, but he couldn't hide. If he had known this would happen, he should have treated Shen Li better, better, at least, to protect her from being seriously injured...

He should have... loved her.

It's a pity that he can no longer say it, and Shen Li can no longer hear it.
