As Matchmaker God and Meng Po perished, their bodies and souls scattering into ashes between heaven and earth.
This bond of love, spanning a thousand years and stirring the Three Realms,
thus came to an end.
Upon the Heaven-Connecting Other Shore,
the hundred lords withdrew their divine senses one after another and lingered no longer.
Before leaving, Plague Lord turned back to glance at the figure frozen beside the Bridge of Helplessness. He sighed softly before finally departing.
Yet Yin Marshal and Marshal Yang exchanged a look, and a nameless fury suddenly surged within their hearts.
They had thought that for such a grave crime against the heavenly laws, even if they offered some obstruction, Matchmaker God would ultimately be unable to escape being seized by the Northern Pole Exorcism Office and taken back to Heaven.
But who could have expected it?
The Great Heavenly Venerable had personally sent down heavenly punishment and slain Matchmaker God and Meng Po with his own hand.
Though this battle had indeed displayed the might of the Earth Division Evil-Quelling Court,
the descent of that heavenly punishment also shattered the last shred of hope in their hearts.
From beginning to end, they had believed that Lu Chen's path had gone so smoothly and caused such earth-shaking upheaval that it was highly possible... this boy was an incarnation of the Great Heavenly Venerable.
If that guess were true, then even if he had violated the heavenly laws today, it would merely have been a trial of fate.
Perhaps Matchmaker God and Meng Po had been the trial the Great Heavenly Venerable laid out for this boy.
He merely had to wade through it.
Even if Lu Chen truly was an incarnation of tribulation, at least for a short time, no harm would come to him.
