The Ancient Era of Immortal Cultivation

First meeting

Before I had taken human form, someone put me in a sack and locked me in a tiny cage where not a ray of light could reach. The cramped space pressed in on my fragile nerves, and I teetered on the verge of breaking down. Just before I closed my eyes, I saw you. Like a heavenly deity, you rescued me and took me back to the demon realm, then left.

I thought you were the salvation I had found in the dark, my only light.

Meeting again

Father had to leave on business, and my elder brother went into seclusion, so they took me to the demon realm. Your cold gaze made me a little afraid, but I still wanted to get close to you. Afraid of the dark, I felt my way along the wall to your room that night and climbed into your bed. When you kicked me off, I froze. Luckily, you tossed me back onto the bed.

Much later

Father died, and my elder brother disappeared. The demon realm was left in my hands. I cultivated day and night and brought the realm under control. Later, you and the divine realm started a war. I used a forbidden technique, absorbing the power of every demon in the realm into myself. The demon realm was overturned.

You came. I stood atop a mountain of bones. "I told you I would follow you for all my life." I looked at you with fervent devotion and said it with absolute conviction.

"I'm not worth this." Your voice was still so cold, devoid of life.

At the end

"I would give up everything and follow you for all my life, my love. I don't care if it's all six realms. If you want it, I'll give it to you." I used the last of my strength to say those words, gazing at you. At last, you didn't refuse. But I never heard what you said. Still, that faint smile remained in my heart. I watched helplessly as you transferred the damage to yourself. The forbidden technique's backlash had come. I whispered, "All right," my voice trembling. "No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you, my love."

The six realms collapsed, leaving only four. The Demon Lord fell, and the Demon Lord was sealed.

Ten thousand years later

"So you're the destined one this Highness was told about?" The man in red smiled brightly at the silver-haired youth in white before him.

"I suppose," the youth replied coldly, though his eyes and brows held an involuntary tenderness.

"My name is Yin Shang. And yours, my destined one?" The man shone like the sun as he asked with a smile.

"Zhi Jun."

Ten thousand years have passed, and you've returned...

Even after ten thousand years, I can recognize you at a glance.

Even without all my memories, I can find you in the vast sea of people.

Because we are each other's beloved.

That year, the sun shone everywhere, and I found you.

Take your hand, and grow old together.
