Chapter 36 Legend

Three days later, it was completely quiet outside.

The barrier had disappeared, which meant that Shadow and the others had already left.

An Er turned into a white crane and hovered above Tongcheng. Bai Yihe had been sitting in the small courtyard the whole time. He closed his eyes to listen, but he could not hear anything except the sound of water.

There was not even a single bird in Tongcheng

The sky was still dark, and the red light had disappeared, leaving only a suffocating dark cloud. The sun seemed to have fallen, and it refused to show its light for a long time.

The white crane hissed in the sky, its mournful cry making one feel cold.

An Er’s face was pale as he landed on the ground. The moment he transformed into his human form, he could not stop vomiting.

The streets were filled with corpses. He saw a real river of blood, and the air was filled with the stench of blood, which was suffocating.

Although it was not as earth-shattering as the Great War between gods and demons ten thousand years ago, it was already a form of destruction for a city.

Bai Yihe opened his eyes and slowly looked up at the sky.

The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the gentle and warm sunlight gently fell from the sky, like a memorial to a god.

“Let’s go.”

Bai Yihe said to the white crane beside him, “It’s time to go back.”

…..

In the depths of the sky, in the hall of the God of Light — the Hall of Light.

More than a thousand gods knelt at the door of the Hall of Light. From afar, it looked like a vast expanse of white. Their voices were neat and sonorous, and they piously bowed at the door of the hall.

“I request the God of Light to lead troops to attack the Demon World!”

“If the demoness is not eliminated, the world will not be at peace!”

All the gods were here to allow the God of Light to appear and besiege the demon world.

In the past, the demon world was sealed, so no one cared. But now that the gate of the demon world was opened, more and more demons would escape from the demon world and wreak havoc. They all believed that they couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

“The gods should go back first. The God of Light has already understood everything.”

A youth dressed in white came out from the main hall. Soft feathers floated on his shoulders, and a scarlet crown hung on his head.

“Immortal An He, the God of Light has been in seclusion for a thousand years. Now that the demon world is in chaos, he cannot continue like this.”

An He chuckled, “The God of Light is the ruler of all things. The heaven has its own will, and the exalted God naturally has his own thoughts. The gods should all disperse.”

He did not say anything else. He lifted his feet and returned to the main hall. The golden doors slowly closed.

“An Er, go buy me a candied haw.” Bai Yihe leaned back on his chair and revealed a confused smile.

An He did not understand why a god who had left the secular world and did not need to eat or drink would always like things from the human world.

After An He left, he took out a red rope. This red rope was not something he had requested from the temple of marriage, but something he had asked for from the exalted God of Destiny.

The God of Destiny had been curious at that time. Wasn’t he supposed to kill Qu Yao and cut off her bad karma? Why did he ask for the red rope that was bound to their marriage?

Their fate was predestined, and they could not be killed or cut off.

In the beginning, Bai He did not believe in fate, so he had the God of Destiny kill the locust tree that symbolized Qu Yao’s life when she was born. He had deliberately given Qu Fang a way to curse so that Qu Yao would be thrown into the demon world.

Nonetheless, he still could not defeat fate.

Fate gave the God and Demon Sword to Qu Yao and turned his greed into Shadow to stay by her side to protect her.

The God of Destiny told him that Qu Yao was very likely to become the root of Bai Yihe’s eternal damnation. But she was obviously a locust tree that Bai Yihe had casually transplanted and saved a thousand years ago. How could she become the ill-fated relationship which he could not escape?

He put away the red rope, turned into a beam of light, and lazily dispersed.

After Qu Yao returned to the demon world, she fell into a coma for three days and three nights. Shadow was originally a demon. The evil spirits that surrounded him were of the same origin as him, so fighting was not a problem at all. However, Qu Yao was different. She was originally a human, and only became half-human and half-beast because of the curse. The one fighting against her was also the God of War, Atlas. If she did not have the God and Demon Sword in her hand, there was no way to seriously injure Atlas.

Despite her injuries, Qu Yao became a legend of the three worlds as a result of this battle.
