“If you are a demon, I will become one. If you are a devil, I will sink into darkness with you. If you are reborn as a beast, I will wait for you on the road to reincarnation...”
On the Heavenly Gate Divine Mountain, two figures stayed close together like shadows. The woman tenderly cared for the man leaning against her shoulder, her gaze fixed on him with deep affection, as though she could see another world through him.
“Your name is Di Mingye! What’s mine?”
“Yu Jiuyi. Yu, as in the fish in the northern sea; Jiu, the nine that soars ninety thousand miles; and Yi, the sash that grows looser for you, yet I never regret it. Remember?” The man fondly stroked her head.
The woman’s white clothes were already soaked through with blood. The Godslaying Spear stood beside her, its tip trembling as it let out a low growl.
The woman picked up the Godslaying Spear and pointed it at the countless beings of the Three Realms kneeling at her feet. “In my previous life, I became a benevolent savior to deliver you all and every living thing in the world. In this life, I live only to save him...”
The Godslaying Spear then pointed at the red-robed man seated high above. “You said you loved me. Is this what your love means? Making me reincarnate nine times: once as a demon, once as a devil, once as a ghost, once as a monster, once as grass and trees, once in the animal realm, and twice to suffer the agony of having my tendons torn out and bones stripped away. I have endured your love. In this life, please, don’t love me again.”
The woman gazed tenderly at the man in her arms, whose eyes were closed, her gaze full of longing. “In this life, let me be the one to protect you.” She turned and leaped. The two figures disappeared into the Heavenly Gate Divine Abyss.
