The sun and moon are both wrong: Starting with marrying Gongsun Ling

Chapter 38: Farewell to the Wilderness

There wasn't even time to mourn the Three Truths Dharma, and the next one to appear and fight Lü Buyi was...

Okay, this isn't a typical shonen manga, so there aren't any melodramatic plot twists.

The outcome of the eleventh war of cause and effect was already decided at this moment—

Or rather, from the very beginning, Lü Buyi and Huang were destined to win.

Everything they did in this battle was simply to win more, to give Ara a chance to participate in that final day.

On the cleared battlefield, apart from the unclaimed magic items left behind by the Three True Ones...

All that remained were Gongsun Ling and Lü Buyi, who stared at each other in silence.

However, the two were in completely different states.

Gongsun Ling's magical power was reduced to less than 20%—

Lu Buyi not only had two powerful protectors at their peak, but he was also in his prime.

The two people looking at each other could see the extremely complex emotions in each other's eyes.

Now that things have come to this, how should they face each other?

Lü Buyi was unaware of this.

Gongsun Ling didn't know either—

They didn't know what to say, so they remained silent.

The silence was finally broken by the "fake body," who found the scene rather awkward.

"Aren't we, the 'true form,' and I being here for the most sake...?"

The "real body" also deeply agreed with this, and he shared the same attitude as the "false body".

"This battle began with the two of you, and it should also end with the two of you."

"And now that everyone else has failed and left this era, let me and the 'false body' begin to use the 'Remnants of All Things' to alter reality and then project it into the future."

At this point, the 'true form' jokingly said to Lü Buyi:

"It's not like you'd lose to her, who's so vulnerable now, just because you can't bear to face her alone, right?"

Lü Buyi didn't say much to them; he simply took out the real "Remnant of All Businesses" and handed it to the "True Body".

"Get started on it, I'll stop Ah Ling."

"I hope so..."

The "false body" and the "true body" smiled at each other, took the remnants of Wanye, murmured something, and then went together to the place where the Wanye Corpse Immortal had been destroyed by the Three True Bright Child Sword.

There, they will use the techniques of "returning the false to the true" and "cause and effect first, cause and effect later" to massively alter reality, making everyone forget everything that happened today—

After the two figures left, Gongsun Ling, who remained silent due to her inability to stop it all, looked at them.

Lü Buyi hesitated and opened his mouth.

He wanted to say something, but the unexpected visitor returning to the top of the battlefield ultimately prevented him from speaking.

As Lü Buyi's side concluded, Huang also returned, but now he carried two auras of causal punishment.

This means that he has successively dealt with the twenty-nine powerful beings on the battlefield below through the [Selfless Dharma Form].

Perhaps it's to hasten its death, or perhaps to kill and defeat it.

But in any case, there is indeed no one who can threaten them now.

"Did I come back at the wrong time?" Huang raised an eyebrow, noticing the awkward atmosphere:

"Looks like I should come up later."

"It's alright—" Lü Buyi shook his head: "If I had to say something, it would be just a passing interlude."

Huang glanced at the cleared battlefield as the [Three Truths Under One Moon] and the Myriad Industries Mirage dissipated.

The witnesses from the past and present, as well as Jiang Mingzi and Gao Haoguang from the future, have all withdrawn from reality.

"So, it seems that we have won big this time."

"That's true. I'm sure Pan Nanjun and Suiyuan will be quite happy. As for Baili and Zhuo Zhao, I hope they won't be too disappointed."

Huang clearly didn't think those two lazybones would be disappointed about having to keep working.

But he didn't say anything more at that moment.

He simply sighed softly, "Now that we've won completely, it seems this isn't the end for me."

Lü Buyi smiled: "Don't regret not leaving the mess to me alone, Huang—"

"And doesn't this just prove that you deserve a much grander, more magnificent funeral?"

Huang raised his head but did not answer.

Lü Buyi said this not because he thought Huang would die on the final day.

Rather, he knew that regardless of whether Wanye succeeded or failed, Huang would eventually destroy himself.

He loathed the free world of ordinary people, but he also did not like the final day of the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries.

Neither of these two is a world that Huang would allow him to choose to survive.

He would choose the latter only because his malice towards the masses made him lean towards the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Businesses.

But if the Three True Methods ultimately prevail and the Myriad Corpse Immortals perish, Huang will not be disappointed.

On the contrary, Huang was very much looking forward to it and hoped that the Three Truths Dharma would pose a fatal threat to all things on the final day.

Huang hoped that in his lifetime, the Three True Methods, which regarded the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries as their mortal enemy, would find them again for a battle.

Attend one's own grand and magnificent funeral.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Buyi asked softly, noticing the expectation in Huang's eyes.

"The future—" Huang didn't hide anything.

Having received the answer, Lü Buyi then asked him about his thoughts on the future.

"What are your plans after this battle?"

"It's hard to say, you know, helping a foolish god continue to exist always leaves me physically and mentally exhausted..."

Huang pondered for a moment, then continued, "But if I had to choose, I would probably choose to go and sleep forever."

"Get a good night's sleep."

"How long?" Lu Buyi asked briefly, looking at Huang.

"Maybe eight hundred years." Even Huang himself wasn't sure: "Maybe a thousand years, who knows?"

Upon hearing this answer, Lü Buyi couldn't help but chuckle.

"Wild, is it really okay to squander the rest of your life that I fought so hard for you?"

"Is there anything else you need my help with?" Huang asked back.

"no."

"In that case, you have no reason to keep me here anymore—"

Lü Buyi couldn't deny it: "That's right, so this is probably the last time we'll meet in this era."

"Shall we say goodbye?"

Huang wasn't interested in sentimentality, but he was willing to say goodbye properly to the person in front of him.

"Goodbye, Lü Buyi."

"Hopefully this won't be the last time we see each other."

Lu Buyi reached out his hand and lightly bumped it against Huang's outstretched hand.

"Wild, or perhaps you prefer me to call you a bastard—"

Let's meet again in the distant future, and hopefully we'll still be the same as we are now.

This was their final farewell.

Finally, Huang glanced at Lü Buyi and Gongsun Ling in the distance.

He said nothing more and then used the phrase "without end" to travel to a place unknown to anyone.

Perhaps it was the grave he prepared for himself, or perhaps it was his former hometown.

In any case, Ara went to sleep alone and then waited for the final day to arrive.

Finally, everyone involved in this battle withdrew completely.

Now, only Gongsun Ling remains on the Sanzhen side, and only Lü Buyi remains on the Wanye side.
