Transmigrating Through Dungeons: The Immortal Venerable Saves Himself

[Cool and aloof Heavenly Emperor Shou Ling Zhao × Steady-natured Immortal Emperor Gong Mo Yuan]

Everyone in the Three Realms knew that Heavenly Emperor Ling Zhao was cool and aloof, yet he treated only Mo Yuan, the Immortal Venerable guarding the boundary between the immortal and mortal realms, differently. He had hidden that fondness for ten thousand years, until Mo Yuan was ambushed by the Demon Realm while descending to the mortal world to restore order. His soul shattered into twelve fragments, scattered across “obsession instances,” and Ling Zhao's feelings were finally laid bare.

To save the man he loved, Ling Zhao sealed away his own Heavenly Emperor powers, took a “Dust-Seeking Mirror” that could collect soul fragments, and plunged into the rifts between instances. The instances were bizarre, and the “Mo Yuan” he met took all kinds of forms. What he hadn't expected was that every “Mo Yuan” in each instance would carry the stubbornness and tenderness buried deep in that man's soul: holding an umbrella for him in a rainy Jiangnan alley, protecting him from traps in a late-night campus, telling him “Trust me” in an old Republican-era mansion...

“I found you.” Every time Ling Zhao took those hands in one of the worlds, he wanted to say those words.

When the final soul fragment returned, Mo Yuan opened his eyes and looked at him, a familiar look in his gaze that had crossed every world.

Each instance was an obsession Mo Yuan had kept in his heart. Every version of “him” had forgotten the past, yet instinctively felt close to Ling Zhao: protecting him without thinking, remembering his habits, and at some moment, eyes turning red as he said, “I've been walking all this way, waiting for you.”
