The gods had finally departed.
Yaya, Bo Luo, and their daughter Hua Qimeng had all left — to grow stronger. They departed via teleportation light bands, and Guoguo sighed silently in her heart as she watched their figures dissolve into the divine light.
She turned around, tearful eyes gazing at Ye Laoxie with a forlorn look.
"Master... I'm sorry. I'm leaving too." Her voice was soft. "The gods are right — I cannot interfere with your growth too much. This would be wrong. So please forgive me."
Ye Laoxie shook his head when he heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about? In truth, I already knew. At the beginning, you were always trying to tease me, then reminding me what to do.
Later, after I taught you how to practice the divine arts, you began to space out — sometimes you seemed troubled.
At that point, your strength had already surpassed mine by a great deal."
Guoguo said nothing.
She could not deny it.
This was the truth.
At that time, her power had already surpassed that of the so-called Goddess Xiyao and the Goddess Brahma.
After all, she was a Daughter of Yuan Chu.
Her potential was second to none in this world.
It was only that her power was sealed, and so it had gone undiscovered. But after practicing the mystical technique, she automatically broke through many of those seals, and her strength soared straight upward.
This was the consequence of that suppression.
Because unlimited absorption of power would have destroyed the game world.
At this moment, the divine light was beginning to fade, and Guoguo smiled.
The smile was extraordinarily bright.
"Thank you for understanding. This is the last time I shall call you master. Perhaps this is fate. The catastrophe in two years' time is the Elemental Tribulation.
Countless worlds have been destroyed by the Elemental Tribulation. Work hard, master.
The Lord of Eternity can restore peace to this world — as long as you strive!"
The words had barely fallen.
Guoguo hurled herself into the divine light, and her body was refined by the sacred glow, gradually fading from Ye Laoxie's sight.
Relying on Ye Laoxie's power alone, it would be absolutely impossible to deal with the Elemental Tribulation.
The gap was far too great.
Even if the hostess woke up, it would be impossible.
She had done everything she could. Although she had sacrificed much now, when the master recovered his memories, surely he would understand her intentions.
The dazzling divine light rose into the realm of the gods.
The world slowly closed.
Everything returned to what it had been.
In the aftermath, people were shocked, all discussing the world of the gods.
As for the Emperor of Heaven — although he had found Ye Laoxie's reincarnation, he did not dare to approach, because the great god had cast one glance at him.
The meaning was obvious.
Ye Laoxie is under my protection. If you dare touch him, you will die.
Did he dare?
Naturally, he did not!
On the contrary, Li Xian'er was overjoyed — her beloved had been valued by the gods. What could be more wonderful than this?
It was just a shame that he had given up the past...
Ah well... whether her sister served the gods or not, everyone has their own fate. What could she do?
Even the Brahma goddess, whom all had to look up to, had been forced to kneel at their feet.
Ye Laoxie straightened himself and spoke to his believers: "Everyone, rise! Let us work together in the days ahead. We must spread the faith of the gods and extend it to the starry sky as soon as possible!"
"Yes! Master Priest!"
"Yes!!"
"Master Priest, please look forward to our performance!"
On this day, believers across the earth celebrated.
And those who had refused to believe wept.
In particular, those who had believed in false gods felt utterly heartbroken.
This dog-egg world was simply a lie.
A complete and utter deception.
Look at others' Eternal Religion — that was the true faith of god.
"God, I love the God of Eternity!"
"God is a dog-egg... I don't believe it anymore..."
"Brother, you don't know — you should join the Eternal Religion now. I'm heading to the Chinese region, there's an Eternal God temple over there!"
"F*ck, there's an operation like that? I want in too!"
...
Ye Laoxie already knew who his brother was.
That sense of familiarity did not deceive him.
And what was this "mysterious gift" the gods had spoken of?
He silently returned to this world.
The house was empty — but the kitchen was alive with the sounds of cooking.
His heart stirred, and he walked toward the sound slowly.
When he saw the figure from behind —
Tears burst from his eyes instantly.
"Big brother..."
Ye Ya!
His older brother, who had already been dead.
This was the greatest gift.
"You... why did you come back so early? The meal isn't ready yet..."
Ye Ya looked at his younger brother with a fond expression, speaking softly.
He had once died simply to protect his brother.
He had become nameless in the game.
Tormented every day.
············Ask for flowers······
Until today, when his body had been restored.
The power of the gods had surpassed all imagination — not only had he gained formidable strength, he had also broken free from the original limitations of power.
In the conversation between the two brothers —
Ye Laoxie understood just how much the other had suffered.
He felt a tightness in his heart.
"Brother, why didn't you find me sooner!"
"You think too one-sidedly. If not for the God of Eternity, you would be a nameless nobody right now. Even if you had some power, it would be extremely limited."
Ye Ya sipped his coffee and smiled. "Right now, I am more than satisfied. The gods gave me a second life, and I can live with you. So what is there to be dissatisfied with?
If not for your original determination, I would not have been able to persist until blooming."
"Eat well. I will be your sparring partner later."
"Mm!"
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled — as if they had returned to the past.
Ye Laoxie sighed with deep emotion. The gods had been so kind to him. He had to work hard in return.
He wanted to become stronger — stronger than in any previous life!
----------------
At this same moment, on a certain planet.
"Master Heavenly Sovereign, how should we deal with that terrifying god?"
"Should we join the other party's faith?"
"And the great catastrophe mentioned by that god — is it real, or just a trick to deceive us?"
These three questions haunted the Emperor of Heaven.
He said furiously: "How would I know? If you want to join the god's faith, go ahead — I certainly won't.
As for the great tribulation, only a fool would believe such things..."
"But... the Brahma goddess and the others..."
When it came to the goddess, everyone could not help falling silent.
Because that goddess was ten thousand times more powerful than the Emperor of Heaven.
