Two days later, Wang Xuan woke up. He had already returned to his Old Earth and was in his manor on the outskirts of Qing Mu. He was like a patient, receiving an IV drip.

He pulled out the needle, lifted the snow-white blanket, went to the window, and saw that the last few yellow leaves stubbornly clinging to the branches had also fallen in the cold winter wind.

Winter has arrived, and all things wither. Although it is warm and cozy inside, cold snowflakes are falling in the vast outdoor environment, and not even a single bird can be seen.

Wang Xuan felt slightly unwell, as if he wasn't as strong as before, seemingly changing along with the dramatic changes of the times, and his spirit was also somewhat tired.

For the past two days, he has been trapped in a deep dream, engaged in a tug-of-war with the New Primordial Spirit, while the light spot attempts to absorb the Mental Power of the External Primordial Spirit.

He was trying to merge with the light spot, to make it his own, and to become one with it. He would not allow any new consciousness to be born from the light spot.

He stood in front of the mirror and saw that his face was somewhat pale and he looked tired. Although he was still young, there were dozens of white hairs at his temples.

Both his spirit and his blood have been severely depleted recently. After the arrival of the Supernatural Winter, his body and spirit, in addition to passively providing Super Material for the light points, are also resisting the great trend of heaven and earth.

In the past, even the tremors of the treasures and the upheavals of the rules had not affected him. Now, with problems arising within his body, he finally felt the terrifying chill of winter's arrival, and a trace of "decay" appeared on his body.

"My hair has turned white early." He gently stroked his temples. In the past, it would have been hard to imagine that he would be in this situation. When he was still a mortal, he practiced the Golden Body Art, making his body incredibly tough and his blood and energy exceptionally vigorous. But now he is like this.

"I will get better, even after the endless, Supernatural Winter arrives," Wang Xuan whispered, determined to cut away the last vestiges of decay and bring forth new life.

As he looked out the window at the gradually brightening sky and earth, he thought of the dimensional rift deep in the universe, where the last towering wave crashed down and all those people disappeared.

He watched them go. In this Mythological Era, did the most powerful, talented, and courageous person who dared to take that step succeed?

If you calculate the time, whether it's success or failure, the outcome would have been decided long ago, but he didn't know the fate and ending of those people.

He gazed silently at the sky, watching the white snowflakes fall. His gaze seemed to Traversing Space-time, as if trying to see their figures. All the familiar people had gone far away, leaving him with a sense of desolation and emptiness in his heart.

"They must all live." He didn't want them to perish; he hoped they could reunite in another New World and have a day of reunion.

He withdrew his gaze and focused on his internal body again, various scriptures and secret texts coming to mind as he tried to resolve his own problems.

"Thank goodness, you're finally awake." Qing Mu pushed open the door and came in. Soon after, Chen Yongjie and Liu Huaian appeared and personally took his pulse to check his condition.

Wang Xuan said, "I know my own body very well, so you don't need to worry."

Chen Yongjie nodded. With the Mythical Eternal Silence, even though they had accepted reality, they still had mixed feelings. In the Old Earth where cultivation was impossible, he had taken another step forward and become an extraordinary being.

Now the dream has awakened over, the Transcendent Immortals, the powerful have fallen to the mortal world, and they have returned to the Qidian, as if they have always been standing here, like a dream.

"I didn't tell your parents," Qing Mu said, to avoid them worrying about Wang Xuan. Fortunately, Wang Xuan has now woken up.

"It's best not to tell." Wang Xuan nodded; Qing Mu's arrangement was very prudent.

Then he laughed and said, "Don't be so heavy-hearted. Although it's all over, you guys didn't lose out. Now you're all in your twenties, back to your youth."

The three of them laughed too.

Mr. Liu Huaian is at least eighty or ninety years old, but he has a buzz cut and looks very energetic, not even thirty.

Chen Yongjie also had short hair, looked energetic, and appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Qing Mu the other hand, seemed to have transformed from a forty-year-old into a young man, brimming with vitality.

"At the last moment, when they left, nothing changed, right?" Wang Xuan asked, having fainted after seeing the huge waves crash and the figures being swallowed up.

"That's a bit unexpected," Liu Huaian said.

Wang Xuan's body stiffened slightly. He was most afraid of hearing this kind of news: that an event beyond the scope would occur when the Supernatural Light Sea receded.

"The Carefree Boat cut through the giant waves and flew out," Chen Yongjie said in a deep voice.

At the last moment, towering waves surged, submerging all the underground caves. The Planar Crevice rifts trembled violently, and everything was covered by the Supernatural Light Sea.

However, the most powerful treasure ship used to cross the sea abandoned the Transcendent Immortals, escaped from the waves, and went far away alone, disappearing into the present universe.

Qing Mu said, "We caught a fleeting glimpse of the two founders of the Supernatural Palace and the Gouchen Imperial Palace, who, with their disciples and followers, stood on the Carefree Boat and hurriedly fled."

Wang Xuan felt heavy-hearted. This unexpected turn of events had caught Fang Yuzhu, Yan Mingcheng, and the others off guard.

"The two Super Peerless masters, Supernatural Palace and Gouchen Imperial Palace, deserted in the face of battle. They were either cowards or extremely wicked. Such a flight is too despicable and is tantamount to betrayal. At the critical moment, they dealt a heavy blow to everyone."

Wang Xuan's face turned somewhat ugly. He really wanted to find those two people, raise his hand, and slap them hard across the face.

In the plan to cross the sea, the Carefree Boat is a crucial component; there is no more suitable treasure for crossing the ocean. If the boat is damaged, there is still the Divine Palace, followed by the Nurturing Life Furnace, which forms a triple-layered structure, making it relatively safe. Along the way, Fang Yuzhu's bracelet will clear the path, and the Immortal Umbrella will provide defense.

As a result, the most powerful means of crossing the sea has been taken away by someone, which has disrupted all plans. At that moment, the group of people crossing the sea were in danger of capsizing.

Even the most extraordinary people, who are willing to risk their lives to forge an extraordinary path, will likely be greatly impacted in an instant.

However, they did not back down. Even if they disappeared with the huge waves or faced terrible dangers, they still resolutely chose to set off.

"They were either truly ruthless and evil, or they were terrified and chose to back down at the last moment, fleeing back," Qing Mu said.

"The bear really wants to shoot them down." The Mechanical Xiao entered the room to express its dissatisfaction; even it couldn't stand it anymore.

But Chen Yongjie stopped it. The other party not only There Are Supreme Treasures — the Carefree Boat, but also two extremely powerful Earth Immortals. Moreover, their warships were also in the distance.

The two founders, along with their disciples, disappeared into the darkness of the universe without lingering, and have not been heard from since.

Some of the Shadow couple, Fang Yuzhu, Zhang Daoling, the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, and others did not cross the sea; instead, they left in the spaceships they left behind.

"Those important disciples chose to go to some planets in the universe with myths and legends, and whose environments are still similar to those in ancient times. They may never be seen again."

Those who remain choose to retire, and most of them do not leave any contact information, because times have changed and technology New Moon. Sooner or later they will become ordinary people and simply leave to live out their remaining years in peace, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

They possess several ancient spaceships and some modern warships, some obtained from ruins, and others accumulated over many years by a lineage that has never been broken in the human world.

However, the cost of maintaining the fleet year-round would be far too high.

This time, it was only to send off the ancestor that these warships gathered from all over the world and came to the vicinity of the Planar Crevice.

"The Supernatural Finale has come to an end, everyone has gone their separate ways, and many will never meet again in this lifetime," Wang Xuan said.

He longed to visit the Planar Crevice again. The Supernatural Light Sea had completely vanished; were those underground caves still there? Had anything been left behind?

But that day, he chose to go home first because he was well aware of his condition and was afraid that he might suddenly fall into a coma again one day and not know how long it would take to wake up.

While he is still healthy, he should hurry back to his parents and tell them that he may be very busy and unable to come home for a while.

"Your face looks a little pale. After the disappearance of the extraordinary, were you also greatly affected?" Wang Xuan's mother looked at him with some concern and said, "Don't exhaust yourself too much and immerse yourself in it. If it's impossible, just treat it as a dream. In this Real World, living each day well is a blessing."

"Taking good care of your health is the most important thing. That's the most real thing. Myths come from illusions, so don't make yourself sick." Wang Xuan's father was also very concerned about his condition.

"Don't tell me you're actually cultivating as well," Wang Xuan said with a smile.

Old Wang slapped his forehead and said, "I'm used to it. Haven't I read a lot of books about the history of cultivation? And after spending so much time with Yan Mingcheng, I couldn't help but want to express my opinion. It's a pity he's gone far away. I'll be more careful in the future and not say anything carelessly."

Wang Xuan nodded. In fact, all things are similar and all industries are interconnected. The words of ordinary people, as well as the words and deeds of Super Peerless, can all serve as a reference.

He began by saying, "In this Human World, every living being, whether ordinary or not, lives a day that is a form of spiritual practice, whether it is a struggle for survival or simply a blessing in itself."

"This bear is so cute." Wang Xuan's mother shifted her attention and immediately took a liking to the Mechanical Xiao. She rubbed and pinched it, and the bear cooperated, making its animated metal face soften.

"I want to travel around. The Supernatural Finale, and I want to see the changes around the world," Wang Xuan said, giving a heads-up that it might take a long time.

Not long after, he was glad he went home early, because he felt physically and mentally exhausted again after only a short time away, and wanted to sleep forever.

He returned safely to Qing Mu's manor in the suburbs, but he was already exhausted. He climbed into bed, took one last look at the cold world of heavy snow outside the window, and then fainted again.

"In this era, I can stand shoulder to shoulder with the immortals. Now, am I to decay with the background of this Great Era of the Supernatural? Impossible. I can withstand it."

Before he went into a coma, his subconscious mind shone brightly, reminding him that he had to hold on because there was a problem within his body, and he needed to resolve this trouble.

He felt that the relationship between him and the New Primordial Spirit within the light was no less than a war, and each time he fell into a coma, it was a struggle, a fierce battle for spiritual energy.

In his long sleep, in a hazy state, he heard many people calling softly: the voice of Qing Mu, the voices of Chen Yongjie and Liu Huaian, and the voice of the Mechanical Xiao.

"Old Wang, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" It was Qin Cheng's voice as he returned from outside, muttering to himself.

Before the Great Barrier was extinguished, in order to prevent the evil dragon from harming those around Wang Xuan, Wu Yin, Qin Cheng, and other acquaintances were all sent away.

"Wang Xuan, wake up, don't sleep anymore..." It was Zhao Qinghan's voice. She had also been there, standing in front of the hospital bed, her hazy voice drifting down.

This time, Wang Xuan was in a coma for a week and never woke up. The outside world was shocked when they heard the news. Even he was affected by such a shock.

During this time, Wang Xuan vaguely sensed that Wu Yin had come by, and whispered something. The Little Fox, who could no longer speak and had severely regressed, jumped to his bedside and gently touched his face with its furry paw.

"Wang Xuan, why haven't you woken up yet? You said that no matter where you are, you would come back this winter to attend my wedding. You're back physically, but what about your mind and consciousness? Wake up quickly, you must recover and get better!" Qin Cheng had come many times. His home was in Ancheng, very close to here, and he visited Wang Xuan every day.

"Wang Xuan, pull yourself together. Nothing can happen to you. My two children are about to be born, a boy and a girl. If you dare not wake up, I will really borrow your name 'Xuan' to name one of them." Although Chen Yongjie said this, his tone was somewhat heavy.

On the eighth day, Wang Xuan woke up. It was already midnight, and all was quiet. He looked at the calendar in front of his bed and realized that his coma had lasted so long this time.

The Mechanical Xiao, who had been waiting in the room, noticed immediately and came over, mechanically expressing its joy and asking if the bear was hungry.

Wang Xuan looked at himself in the mirror. He was a bit thin, and there were still dozens of white hairs on his temples, which were quite noticeable.

"I'll go tell Qing Mu that you're awake."

"No, it's too late, don't wake them up," Wang Xuan stopped the Mechanical Xiao.

The next day, Qing Mu, Chen Yongjie, and others appeared in the room immediately.

Qin Cheng rushed over upon hearing the news, overjoyed, and said, "Old Wang, you scared me to death! How could you have become so weak and kept fainting? Now that you're awake, I've decided that the wedding will proceed as planned, in a month."

He was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Take a look and see if there's a girl you like, let's have our wedding together!"

Qing Mu told Wang Xuan that Zhao Qinghan, Wu Yin and others had stayed here for several days and were leaving temporarily, and that news of their families had reached New Star.

"How are you now? How much has your strength dropped?" Chen Yongjie asked worriedly.

"I can barely compete with a terrestrial immortal," Wang Xuan told him.

"This..." Old Chen, Qing Mu, and Liu Huaian were all surprised. Wang Xuan was so weak and looked to be in a bad mental state, yet he still maintained a Dao Fruit comparable to that of an Earth Immortal.

"Old Wang, please don't faint again." Qin Cheng didn't care about his strength; he just hoped that his best friend and classmate would be safe.

"Don't worry, even if I fall into a coma during this time, I will definitely wake up in a month and attend your wedding!" Wang Xuan nodded and said.

"It's settled then. I'm going to go send out the wedding invitations now. You can't miss it!"

On that very day, Qin Cheng began sending out invitations to university classmates, familiar friends, and people from his Old Earth to his New Star, notifying many people in total.

However, he was surprised and eventually told Wang Xuan that some unfamiliar people, whom he had never even met before, had taken the initiative to send their blessings and implied that he should attend.

Chen Yongjie said leisurely, "It seems this will be quite a lively event. They want to see how Wang Xuan is doing and understand his condition. From ordinary people's organizations to the still existing Supernatural Practitioner, there will probably be quite a few people present."

He knew very well that Wang Xuan had killed a Celestial Immortal and was one of the most powerful Supernatural Practitioner in the world, attracting attention from all sides. Recently, many people had come to his door, but Chen Yongjie had politely declined them all. Many people probably wanted to use this wedding to get to know Wang Xuan and understand his true situation.
