"It's too late!"
Seeing Luo Chuan's expression, Tian Yunzi revealed a crazed smile and said, "All life on Blood Star will be wiped out. I will use my own lifespan and resentment to trigger my self-destruction. Even if we perish together, I will drag you down with me, and that girl you mentioned, to be buried with me!"
A cold light flashed in Luo Chuan's eyes, and he thrust out the Luo God Sword without hesitation.
"Puff!"
The sword light pierced through Tian Yunzi's throat, and Tian Yunzi's laughter stopped abruptly. The madness and despair in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a sense of relief.
His body slowly collapsed, his breath completely dissipated, and his soul was utterly obliterated by the divine sense of the Nine-Colored Ultimate Realm, resulting in his death and the dissipation of his Dao.
After dealing with Tian Yunzi, Luo Chuan did not linger at all. He immediately deactivated the self-destruction restriction of the formation and simultaneously circulated his Immortal Essence to protect the creatures of Blood Star.
Luo Chuan flashed and appeared directly in the courtyard where Lin Qingxue's family lived. Seeing the family safe and sound, and Lin Qingxue curiously watching the commotion outside, the tension in his heart finally eased slightly.
"Big brother, that was so scary! Why was it so bright outside?" Lin Qingxue ran to Luo Chuan's side, tugged at his clothes, and asked with her little face upturned.
Luo Chuan crouched down, gently patted her head, and a tender smile appeared on his face, completely concealing the danger outside:
"It's alright, it was just a little storm, it's over now. Xue'er, stay home and don't go out, okay?"
Lin Qingxue nodded obediently and replied, "Yes, I'll listen to my big brother."
Looking at her innocent appearance, Luo Chuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He then turned to Lin's parents and said softly, "Something is about to happen here. I will escort you away from here to a safe place."
"... Are you an immortal?"
Although Lin's parents didn't know what had happened, seeing Luo Chuan's appearance, they knew that the scholar in front of them must be an immortal.
Luo Chuan said no more. With a flash, he carried his family of three and broke through the void, flying towards the outside of Blood Star.
He wanted to take Xue'er away from this place of trouble as soon as possible, protect her for the rest of her life, and make up for all the regrets of his past life.
Meanwhile, outside the Blood Star, a dark figure quietly concealed itself in the clouds, observing the energy fluctuations on the Blood Star with a sinister glint in its eyes.
" Luo Chuan, I didn't expect you to be able to break the Heavenly Fate Absolute Killing Array, but it's alright, the game has only just begun..."
The man in black robes waved his right hand forward, and the star field that was about to shatter returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye. The small village on Blood Star still has smoke rising from its chimneys and the sounds of chickens and dogs, completely unaware of the catastrophe that nearly destroyed the entire planet.
Luo Chuan shed his sharp edge, concealed his supreme divine sense from the Nine-Colored Ultimate Realm, and transformed into the most ordinary scholar in the village.
He lived in the old house next to Lin Qingxue's house, spending his days farming and studying. Occasionally, he would help villagers repair houses and walls, treat illnesses and injuries. He was gentle and humble, without a trace of the arrogance of an immortal.
The villagers all regarded him as a refined scholar who had wandered here, and affectionately called him Mr. Luo.
The timid little girl Lin Qingxue who used to tug at his clothes has grown into a graceful young woman. She has fair skin, delicate features, and a slender figure. Every smile and frown of hers carries the unique Lingdong and gentleness of a young girl.
Under Luo Chuan's secret guidance, she unintentionally embarked on the path of immortality. With her exceptional talent, she broke through all obstacles in just over ten years.
Lin Qingxue progressed through the Qi Condensation Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, and Golden Core Realm stages, eventually reaching the Nascent Soul Realm stage, becoming a rare cultivation prodigy on Blood Star, a talent unseen for a millennium.
But Lin Qingxue always harbored a question in her heart. The deeper her cultivation became, the more she could perceive Luo Chuan's uniqueness.
Luo Chuan may seem powerless, but he manages to calmly resolve crises when natural disasters strike.
There was no sign of her cultivating, yet the aura surrounding her was so profound that even she, Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, found it unfathomable.
What's even more amazing is that, as more than ten years have passed, she has grown from a child into a young woman, her parents have grown gray hair, and her neighbors have developed wrinkles, but Luo Chuan's appearance remains as handsome and gentle as ever, unchanged in the slightest.
That day, after finishing her cultivation, Lin Qingxue slowly walked to Luo Chuan's side and watched him sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard reading a book. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his shoulders, and time seemed to stand still on him.
Lin Qingxue hesitated for a long time before finally speaking softly, her eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry. " Luo Chuan, who exactly are you? I am now a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, but I can't see through you. There is no ordinary cultivator like you in this world."
Luo Chuan slowly closed the book, looked up at her, his gaze still gentle and tender, revealing nothing of the past, but simply smiling faintly:
"I am just an ordinary cultivator. I was tired of wandering, so I decided to settle down here."
A simple sentence, spoken lightly, yet it stirred something within Lin Qingxue's heart.
Lin Qingxue gazed into Luo Chuan's clear eyes, at his still handsome face, and a blush crept onto her cheeks, her heart suddenly racing.
A young girl's feelings quietly blossomed, like wildly growing vines in spring, entwining her heart.
She admired Luo Chuan's gentleness, relied on his protection, and respected his mystery. She was filled with joy and love, but she was shy by nature and didn't know how to express it.
She could only keep these feelings hidden in her heart and silently stay by his side.
Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Luo Chuan and Lin Qingxue's appearances remain unchanged from back then; immortals live forever, untouched by the passage of time.
But Lin's parents were only human, and could not escape birth, aging, sickness, and death. They were already very old and their time was coming to an end.
On their deathbeds, the two elderly people held Luo Chuan's hands tightly, their eyes filled with reluctance and entrustment. Looking at the man who had protected their daughter for half her life, their voices were weak but incredibly earnest:
" Mr. Luo, after we leave, we entrust Xue'er to you... She's innocent and naive; please protect her for life and ensure she suffers no injustice..."
Luo Chuan nodded solemnly, his voice steady and powerful, carrying an unquestionable promise, "With me here, I will protect Xue'er and ensure she suffers no harm whatsoever."
Having received Luo Chuan's promise, Lin's parents closed their eyes in peace and passed away peacefully.
Lin Qingxue knelt before her parents' graves, tears silently streaming down her face. She carefully covered the coffins with handfuls of earth, her heart filled with grief, yet also with unwavering resolve.
She wiped away her tears, turned to look at Luo Chuan standing beside her, the sorrow in her eyes gradually turning into determination, her tone earnest and resolute. " Luo Chuan, our parents are gone, you are all I have left in this world."
"I want to embark on the true path of immortality with you, traversing all the star fields. No matter how difficult the road ahead, I want to stay by your side."
Looking at the determined girl in front of him, Luo Chuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
The regrets of the past life can finally be made up for in this life. He watched her grow up and become successful. Now that she is willing to walk with him, how could he refuse?
