"Husband, you projected yourself into Southern Heaven, and we could still accept that. After all, although dangers lurked everywhere, you could still advance or retreat as the situation demanded. But going out on campaign like a general, personally handling everything and putting yourself in danger—by disregarding your own safety like that, you placed all the living beings of the Nine Heavens in peril. We three palaces of Sky City have been so weighed down that we can barely breathe. If something happened to you, what would we do? What would we do without you?" Snow Qingcheng said with heartfelt emotion.
I nodded. I naturally knew I had been too reckless, but even if the events of that time happened again, I truly would not have had a better choice.
"After you left, that child Ru Jin cried like a tearful wreck. No one could comfort her. Everyone was terribly worried, and with danger reports constantly coming from Southern Heaven—even Heavenly Sword Mountain was destroyed—the anxiety in our hearts... You were in the middle of it all, so naturally you had no idea..." Zhao Qian nearly burst into tears again as she spoke of it.
I could not help sighing. "This battle may well be the final one. If possible, I still want to resolve matters with Old Sky City through dialogue. Creating a false world is not advisable. I have some idea of how to resolve this, but it will take time."
"If it can truly be done that way, peace will surely return to the world," Big Sister Wife said.
I also knew I could not influence the Black-Robed One's decision. This Child of Destiny could never be judged by ordinary standards. Even my own actions were difficult for others to predict, and the same was true of him.
