The clamor of the long streets gradually subsided, and the city's splendor slowly drew to a close.
Shiheng's earlier spree of unrestrained shopping and carefree spending had been like a brief remedy, temporarily soothing the gloom accumulated in his heart over two lifetimes.
In his previous life, he had spent half his years enduring poverty, constrained at every turn. In this life, bloody battles had never ceased, and his dearest friend had sacrificed himself and departed.
A bout of compensatory spending spanning reincarnations, a moment of fulfillment without restraint, had finally allowed his long-taut mind a brief respite. Both Shiheng's Dao Heart, burdened by two lifetimes of obsessions, and Sailiya's cold, still state of mind, forged through hundreds of millions of years of unceasing cultivation, quietly rose to a new level amid this worldly splendor and attained fulfillment.
The two walked side by side along the god city's long bluestone street, with a gentle evening breeze and mild spiritual energy around them.
They had intended to return to the high-tier courtyard they had rented, rest fully, and recover from the exhaustion of years of warfare.
But on their way back, the noise of a bustling crowd reached their ears, while news that shook the entire city quietly spread-

Held once every hundred thousand years, with countless opportunities and treasures everywhere, it was a top-tier gathering rarely seen anywhere in the God Realm.
Shiheng paused briefly, a faint trace of interest flashing through his eyes.
Since I'm already here.
*I'm already in the god city, and my state of mind has just settled into fulfillment. There's no need to hurry back. I might as well take a look at this spectacle
