"My wife..."
Ning Yechen gazed at Luo Ruying, his voice soft.
Before he could explain, Luo Ruying raised her hand to silence him.
"We'll talk about everything after we get home..."
Her expression was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger, and her thoughts remained hidden. This only made Ning Yechen more anxious.
*Could she be truly angry...?*
While Ning Yechen and the surrounding Night Heaven Gods were tense, Yue Qingyou wore a faint smile.
After the Great Immortal-Demonic War, Southern Departure City lay in ruins, its walls shattered and its structures reduced to rubble. The once-prosperous city was now a wasteland, pockmarked with craters and crisscrossed by bottomless fissures.
Even the sky above Southern Departure City was fractured like shattered glass, with gaping spatial rifts torn across the heavens—a rare and awe-inspiring spectacle in the mortal realm.
In the once-vast Southern Departure City, only the Southern Li Academy, miraculously spared by the Sect-Protecting Heavenly Array, remained relatively intact.
The citizens and cultivators of Southern Departure City gathered at and around the academy, gazing at the ruins of their once-bustling city. A collective sense of sorrow settled over them.
For many, this was the culmination of a lifetime's effort, their homes and livelihoods reduced to rubble in an instant.
Luo Ruying, witnessing the devastation, felt both regret and guilt. The Dao Immortal Clan had come specifically for her; her presence here had brought this calamity upon Southern Departure City.
Where her former residence once stood, now only a deep crater remained.
Returning home was no longer an option—home itself had vanished.
Ning Yechen watched Luo Ruying staring blankly in the direction of her former home. He turned to Yue Qingyou.
Before he could speak, Yue Qingyou nodded slightly. Under the gaze of the crowd, she slowly floated into the air.
"Restore!"
Yue Qingyou gazed down from her lofty position at Southern Departure City below, her crimson lips parting slightly as she spoke.
As her words fell, it was as if some fundamental law of heaven and earth had been shaken. An indescribable surge of spiritual energy rippled through the entire city like waves.
Most of the cultivators present merely sensed a faint anomaly, unaware of what was happening until they heard the astonished cries of those around them.
"Look... look!"
"The buildings are being restored!"
"How... how is this possible?!"
"Could this be a miracle?!"
Everyone looked up, and a chaotic dance of flying rocks and vegetation filled the sky.
The destroyed houses rapidly rebuilt themselves, uprooted trees and plants regrew...
Cracked earth rejoined, shattered void healed, and deep pits were filled in...
In mere moments, Southern Departure City, which had been a ruin, was completely restored to its former glory.
There was no trace of the devastating Great Immortal-Demonic War it had endured.
The scene was utterly breathtaking, a true miracle.
The crowd gaped, utterly stunned.
*What kind of immortal art is this...?*
Having completed her task, Yue Qingyou slowly descended from mid-air and quietly resumed her position beside Luo Ruying.
The crowd's gaze toward Yue Qingyou now carried a deep sense of reverence.
Qi Yuan's heart was still in turmoil, unable to calm down.
*So this maid sister, who has always been so cold to me, is this powerful...?*
*Thank goodness she didn't actually want to kill me...*
Luo Ruying was also astonished.
She had vaguely guessed that Yue Qingyou's cultivation was extraordinary, but she never imagined it would be this terrifying.
To achieve such a feat while completely disregarding the constraints of the Heavenly Dao of the mortal realm, her realm must be that of the legendary Absolute Immortal!
"Wife, let's go..."
"Let's go home."
Just as Luo Ruying was lost in her shock, Ning Yechen smiled and extended his hand toward her.
Looking at the palm before her, she hesitated only briefly before slowly reaching out and placing her hand in his.
Ning Yechen casually gripped Luo Ruying's slender, soft hand, holding their child while leading her away.
Xia Guo, seeing this, mustered his courage and called out from behind, "That... that Mr. Ning... no, Your Excellency the Demon Sovereign, what about us...?"
All eyes turned to Ning Yechen, their hearts pounding with tension.
Their very lives hung on his whim...
Tens of thousands of Demon Clan members stood nearby, their predatory gazes bearing down with suffocating pressure...
Ning Yechen turned around and only then remembered Xia Guo and the others still kneeling on the ground.
His attention had been entirely focused on his wife and child, and he had completely forgotten them...
"My apologies, everyone. I've caused a slight disturbance due to a personal matter."
"Rest assured, everything is fine now~"
"If everyone is safe, please return to your homes. You are dismissed~"
The crowd stood in stunned silence...
Ning Yechen offered them a benevolent smile and waved dismissively.
If they hadn't known his true identity, they might have mistaken him for an ordinary, amiable mortal...
Although Ning Yechen had declared that the crisis was over and everyone could return home, the crowd didn't feel that way at all.
The Demon Sovereign Ning Yechen was still present, and tens of thousands of demons were watching him closely. This hardly looked like the situation was resolved!
They were terrified!
Noticing that no one dared to move, Ning Yechen waved toward the demons in the sky.
"You may all withdraw now."
"Yes, my Lord!"
The demons slowly stepped into the distorted void and vanished.
Ning Yechen, holding Luo Ruying's hand, slowly walked away in front of the crowd.
Only after Ning Yechen, Yue Qingyou, and the others had completely disappeared from sight did the crowd realize they could move again. Trembling, they staggered to their feet, their faces filled with disbelief.
They were still alive...
They had survived!
The Demon Clan had actually refrained from attacking!
Overcome with relief at their narrow escape, they embraced each other, tears of joy streaming down their faces.
As Xia Guo stood up, his legs suddenly buckled, and he nearly collapsed again.
Fortunately, Lin Ya, standing beside him, steadied him.
Xia Guo had nearly exhausted all his strength to speak just moments ago.
Suddenly, specks of white, radiant light began to fall from the sky.
"Is it snowing again?"
Xia Guo couldn't help but look up at the sky, now tinged with the colors of the sunset. He reached out and caught these falling light particles.
Only then did he realize with astonishment that it wasn't snow falling, but shimmering spiritual energy!
Tiny, luminous specks of spiritual energy drifted down like fine snow.
Thousands of powerful immortals had perished in the human realm, their essence returning to the heavens and earth as these points of light, creating a shower of spiritual snow...
At that moment, the spiritual energy concentration in Southern Departure City reached an unprecedented level!
The people within the city all extended their palms to welcome the falling light particles.
They had never witnessed such a visible and dense concentration of spiritual energy before...
It was likely that Southern Departure City's name would soon echo throughout the world...
To have survived the Great Immortal-Demonic War unscathed was a truly legendary feat, unmatched in the world.
Though Southern Departure City had nearly been destroyed, it now seemed like a divine opportunity...
