Inside the dark and deep Angel Temple.

Ye Guyi's eyelashes trembled, and her golden eyes slowly opened. She subconsciously looked at the young man lying beside her. Although the latter's complexion was rosy and his body was not dead, his soul was broken and appeared empty and stiff.

The beauty's face remained calm, without disappointment. She slowly lowered her head, nestled in the young man's arms, and softly murmured something to herself.

Countless years ago, urged by the Divine Realm, she had no choice but to return to the Divine Realm, taking Lu Cheng's physical body with her.

With the help of the God of Life, she preserved Lu Cheng's physical body and granted him eternal Life, but his soul had already been shattered and devoured by her. Therefore, strictly speaking, this "corpse" was well-preserved by her, and there were basically no traces of it.

Ye Guyi gently pressed her lips to Lu Cheng's cheek, giving him a light, fleeting peck. A strange blush rose to her pretty face. Her other hand gripped Lu Cheng's tightly as she murmured to herself, "Master, you're awake, right...? Actually, you didn't die at all. You just fabricated such a huge lie to deceive me, didn't you? You're so powerful, everything is under your control, how could you possibly die..."

As she spoke, she pressed her delicate body even closer to Lu Cheng, her face showing no sadness, but rather a peculiar expectation.

At this moment, Lu Cheng, "..."

Mingdu dead. He was happily starting the Simulation Device to claim his rewards when Ye Guyi pulled back a wisp of his Divine Consciousness. As he and Ye Guyi merged into one, the Fallen Angel Martial Soul that Seraphim also merged into Ye Guyi's body. After being blessed by the Goddess of Life, it attached itself to Lu Cheng's "corpse".

As a scene flashed by, a century passed in the blink of an eye. When he reappeared, instead of a results screen, what awaited him was...

At this moment, Lu Cheng's soul lay quietly inside the corpse, not daring to move. Of course, he couldn't control the body either, since he was just a remnant soul.

He's dead, but not completely dead.

What's it like to torture an Angel God to the point of near death, to the point that he even has some minor mental issues, yet he doesn't die?

I need to wait online urgently.

He kept clicking on the Simulation Device panel, trying to skip ahead, but he couldn't.

"God of Angels..."

Fortunately, a voice rang out from outside the main hall.

"..."

Ye Guyi frowned slightly, then gently pinched Lu Cheng's cheek, and whispered reluctantly in his ear, "Master, someone is coming. It might be the God of Destruction. He helped me before, so I can't refuse. Please wait for me a moment."

Having said that, she covered her originally thin, even slightly aloof, inner garment with a dignified and elegant light gold robe, which enveloped her graceful figure, before taking light steps and walking out of the main hall.

Just as Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, within seconds...

Two figures arrived one after the other.

The leader was tall and burly, and he looked at Lu Cheng's "corpse" with great interest. He waved his palm, seemingly probing the condition inside Lu Cheng's body. Lu Cheng felt his scalp tingle. For a moment, he even felt that he had been noticed by the God of Destruction.

If they were directly exposed... I'm afraid...

Lu Cheng's face turned pale. He had been having too much fun earlier and hadn't left himself any way out. He thought that after returning to the other world, Ye Guyi would only be a Soul King and wouldn't be able to do anything to him. He hadn't even considered...

Whether he can go back or not.

This world is so real, and the realm of gods even seems to have sensed the presence of a "Simulation Device," which is somewhat alarming.

According to his speculation, this Simulation Device world might be the real world, that is, another Douluo Continent in a parallel universe, and the Simulation Device might be a product left behind by the God of Love.

"... He is indeed dead." Destruction shook his head, but his next sentence nearly scared Lu Cheng to death.

"But there is still a trace of residual Divine Consciousness within me, which is my fault. Perhaps I was careless the first time and didn't notice it."

"You mean... Master is still alive?!" Ye Guyi's pupils suddenly turned to the Destruction, her red lips parted slightly, and the terrifying divine power around her surged uncontrollably, the entire Angel Temple was instantly shattered, and beams of light pierced through the Divine Realm.

"Uh... no, he's beyond saving." Destruction shook his head. "What I mean is, he only has a wisp of his soul left in his body, and all Life has done is preserve that wisp of soul, but with his soul so incomplete... at best, he's no different from a vegetable."

"Now you only have two choices: one, continue the relationship, but that will be torture for both of you; two, let him go. He doesn't belong to you, nor does he belong to this world."

Destruction shook his head.

"You mean... he doesn't belong to this world?" Ye Guyi's expression was calm, her brain automatically skipping over other questions about Destruction and going straight to the core issue.

"His aura is unfamiliar; he shouldn't belong to this continent. Perhaps he's from another continent, or perhaps another time and space. After all, you and I are gods; perhaps we can vaguely sense that situation," Destruction explained leisurely.

In fact, he hoped that Ye Guyi would move on from this period. He was currently fighting Tang San to the bitter end, and the stance of a First-Level God carried considerable weight.

Ye Guyi, enraged by Lu Cheng's death, also wiped out Shrek Academy, which had been plotting against the Allied Forces and hindering them. This enraged Tang San, who was also responsible for killing the Angel God Qian Renxue ten thousand years ago. With both new and old grudges, Ye Guyi would definitely side with him.

But unfortunately, this girl was consumed by love, locking herself away emotionally and physically.

Therefore, he has come today to offer guidance and understanding.

"If you're willing, I might be able to awaken him, and you can send him on his final journey," Destruction said softly.

"..."

Ye Guyi red lips tightly, her expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. Her previous gentle smile was all a facade, a self-protective mechanism developed after being driven to the brink of madness, but now...

"Good!"

A long silence fell over the main hall. After an unknown amount of time, Ye Guyi finally spoke softly.

My heart feels like it's shattered.

After all, she still had a sliver of hope while holding onto Lu Cheng's "corpse," but now that the fantasy has come true, she is about to lose that last bit of expectation.

This scene even made Lu Cheng feel a little reluctant to leave.

In the end... she's still just a girl in her early twenties, in the prime of her youth, and the apprentice he once raised himself. Why should she cower in this corpse?

Therefore, when the Destruction "called" him, Lu Cheng did not choose to play dead again.

A spirit slowly emerged from his body, but the moment it appeared, it also meant that this last remnant soul began to dissipate uncontrollably. Lu Cheng looked at Ye Guyi: "Girl..."

Ye Guyi instantly threw herself into Lu Cheng's arms, wailing and crying her heart out. Even though she was just a remnant soul, she still felt the long-lost warmth once again.

The God of Destruction glanced at Lu Cheng and nodded slightly as a greeting. This guy was quite a strongman. Even though the Divine Realm hadn't "expanded its recruitment" below and was almost at full capacity, he managed to elevate Ye Guyi to the Divine Realm. He could see that this man's talent was even more monstrous than Ye Guyi's.

Therefore, he still deserves his respect.

"I come from another world and have been searching for a way to leave. I originally planned to cultivate you into Fallen Angel, devour you, and then leave on my own, but..." Lu Cheng said leisurely, gently stroking Ye Guyi's golden hair, with some emotion.

He needs to find a reason for his actions.

Even if he is portrayed as a villain.

Otherwise, if he were to die for the sake of dying, Ye Guyi would inevitably notice something amiss.

No wonder...

Destruction nodded, the last trace of confusion in his eyes disappearing. He was now waiting for Lu Cheng's last remaining soul to dissipate so that Ye Guyi could regain her strength and become a banner for him to resist Tang San.

"Teacher, even if you devour me, Guyi will not blame you... It's all the same who falls into the Evil Soul Master." Ye Guyi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fair hand, but smiled. The entire Angel Temple seemed to be lit up, the darkness gradually faded, and it became as holy as before.

But Lu Cheng's eyelids twitched; something was wrong...

Something's really wrong.

This girl isn't so easy to talk to, and the tears she shed at this moment didn't seem like the pain of parting, but rather the joy of a long-awaited reunion. As her teacher, having spent so many years together, I naturally know the character of the student I've nurtured.

Etc!!

Lu Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

Ye Guyi's lips curled into a smile, her golden eyes holding a sickly, even manic, grin as she stared at Lu Cheng, mesmerized. "Teacher, as expected of you... it seems you've noticed too."

"Since that's the case, then there's no need for me to continue pretending."

With that, she clenched her fist tightly, and Lu Cheng's dissipating soul instantly solidified again. Her smile was bright yet calm, "Teacher, don't blame Guyi. You taught me this. You said Evil Soul Master have many tricks up their sleeves. If you're not careful, you'll fall into their trap and be fooled..."

"The remnant soul hidden in the Great Holy Spirit's head showed me for the first time the resilience of Evil Soul Master, and I've always believed that you couldn't possibly have died so easily."

Lu Cheng felt a chill run down his spine.

That sentence came to mind.

"Let me teach you another lesson. These guys have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. If you're not careful, you'll fall into their trap and be fooled."

He certainly looked cool in that outfit, but the boomerang he threw really hurt.

But now it seems... Ye Guyi's calm demeanor and her firm belief that she was not dead were not an act, but came from the bottom of her heart... she truly believed that she was not dead.

"I will do everything in my power to find a way to resurrect you. We will become gods together. You will not die..." Ye Guyi said softly, gently pulling Lu Cheng into her arms.

Lu Cheng: "..."

Oh no, I've been tricked into coming out...

Now there's no way to pretend to be dead anymore.

The God of Destruction on one side twitched his eye. This was not what he wanted to see. After all, Ye Guyi would focus on how to resurrect Lu Cheng. However, on second thought, if Lu Cheng were resurrected, he might become a dual god, which would at least stabilize Ye Guyi.

If all else fails, then try to find a way to save Life and offer some advice.

"Simulation over. Do you wish to leave the current world?"

Just as Lu Cheng was about to suffocate from being suffocated, text finally popped up in front of him.

"Leave, leave, leave..."

Lu Cheng clicked furiously.

"..."

The next instant, a beam of light struck Lu Cheng Lu Cheng, its powerful force tearing at his remnant soul and dragging it away into the distance.

"No..." Ye Guyi's expression changed drastically. At this moment, she was truly panicked, but that power was far beyond her ability to resist. Even the Destruction on the side had a solemn expression, but his efforts were in vain.

"Master, Master!!!" Ye Guyi's voice was pleading, tears welling up. This time she was not pretending, because it seemed that she was really going to lose her master, completely and utterly.

Take me away.

"Please, take me with you, Master..."

Ye Guyi held Lu Cheng's hand tightly, her red lips trembling slightly as she said, "This parting may be forever. Even if I become a god, I will never be able to find him again."

Lu Cheng was not angry, and his expression showed some reluctance. He also did not let go of Ye Guyi's hand.

"Since we'll be returning to the original world anyway, let's just leave it at that and let me take her with me," Lu Cheng thought to himself.

"..."

The beam of light seemed less repulsive to Ye Guyi, but the price was that her newly acquired Angel Godhood shattered completely, turning into fragments that fell back to the mortal realm. Ye Guyi, now only a soul, held Lu Cheng's hand as they stepped into "reincarnation."

This moment felt like their first encounter.

Even though Lu Cheng's initial motives were impure, and he even planned to sacrifice her, in the girl's heart, Lu Cheng will always be a young man in his twenties, the gentle master with a warm and sunny face who led her out of her predicament...

Lu Cheng smiled warmly and took the girl's hand in his. The girl smiled back and nestled close to Lu Cheng.

"Teacher... if there's a next life, will you still remember the Guyi?"

Ye Guyi, and as her consciousness gradually faded, she still held Lu Cheng's hand tightly, showing no fear of "death," but instead asked softly.

"Certainly."

Lu Cheng smiled gently.

As the two beams of light vanished, only the God of Destruction beside him remained completely bewildered.

"No... huh?!!"

The God of Angels He desired, this great general, vanished in an instant...

She and her master committed suicide together.

"I knew I shouldn't have come, damn it!!!" Destruction grinned, throwing his scepter hard on the ground, and also getting a mouthful of dog food in the process.

Damn it, they're bullying an elderly person.

But soon, He sighed helplessly, spread his hands, the scepter returned to his hand, and slowly walked out of the Angel Temple. The fact that the Angel Divinity had shattered again attracted the attention of many gods, but no one was "curious" about where the Angel God Ye Guyi had gone.

After all, the price for wanting to go with them was to relinquish one's divine status.
