Chapter 386: Chapter 372: (7,800 words) Grand Finale! The True God is Not Eternal!_5
"There are countless Taoist principles in the world, you should cultivate anew."
"Start over?"
"Don't worry, I will assist you, and besides, it was always meant for me to do so." Bamboo Grove said.
"But what about Qing'er Qian Qian and Xiao Xi? What will they do?"
"With me here, their lifespans can be extended." Bamboo Grove added, "If one of them dies and you are heartbroken, then I will divide my lifespan among them, so we can die together."
"Divide your lifespan... Isn't that also damaging to the natural order? Won't you get struck by lightning?"
"Yes." Bamboo Grove nodded.
"Yet you still would do it?"
"I fear your heartache." Bamboo Grove said.
Her face showed no emotion, but her words were profoundly affectionate.
Even at the risk of being struck by lightning, she didn't want to see him heartbroken.
Bamboo Grove moved closer to him, leaning against him and said, "I suddenly... understand my mother now."

Afterward, everyone started on a somewhat busy yet fulfilling and happy path of cultivation under Bamboo Grove's guidance.
However, nobody ever left Earth.
"Not solely." The figure of light shook its head, "But I do not know what more to say."
After speaking, the figure of light tossed a ring to Fang Ren and disappeared from Earth.
The sky still echoed with his voice: "I wish you a brilliant future."
Fang Ren opened the space within the ring only to find it filled with numerous Heavenly Spirit Treasures.
"Why would he still give me these?" Fang Ren asked Bamboo Grove.
"These are but illusions in his eyes now. It seems he was most likely ordered by the previous deity to come and tell you these things." Bamboo Grove said.
"So does that mean deities are not truly eternal? When they merge into the Void, is it actually equivalent to death?" Fang Ren asked.
"Certainly."
Bamboo Grove's expression was reflective: "It's fortunate you didn't participate in the divine selection back then; otherwise, you'd never have a chance at immortality."
"If even deities cannot attain immortality, what immense effort must a mortal exert to catch a glimpse of it?"
"You have unlimited potential." Bamboo Grove smiled at him.
"Why do you have such faith in me?"

"Because you are my husband, it's as simple as that."
