Chapter 478: 478

The three Imperial Lords watched this scene through the World Entrance angrily .

How could they not be angry when they lost a key general, Patriarch Poison Dragon, and a Tribulation treasure—the Water Essence Pearl?

“There’s nothing that can be done when facing the Undying Divine Fire,” said Imperial Lord Starquix .

Lady Blackmoon sneered . “That Liu Qiyue is also stupid . She consumed so much of her lifespan just to save the mortals . ”

“World Entrances are increasing in number . The day when the humans can’t defend all of them is the day we win,” said Emperor Roc calmly . “Let’s go . ”

The three Imperial Lords transformed into streaks of light and left .

The human world .

Meng Chuan flew to his wife and looked at her concernedly .

“Ah Chuan . ” Liu Qiyue smiled at Meng Chuan . The flames converged, revealing her current appearance . Her long hair was snow-white, and there were some wrinkles on her face . Meng Chuan looked at his wife, his heart aching .

“There’s nothing else I could’ve done,” said Liu Qiyue helplessly . “Maintaining Phoenix’s Nirvana for nine seconds should have only consumed about 60 years of my lifespan . However, Patriarch Poison Dragon’s Blackwater Body can reach over hundreds of kilometers . I had to protect Snow Wind Pass . After all, over ten million people live here . Therefore, I utilized a large amount of phoenix flames to protect a 100-kilometer-wide area . Due to this, I burned my lifespan several times faster than normal . ”

Liu Qiyue looked at her husband and smiled . “However, I don’t regret it because I saved over ten million people . I only had to consume a portion of my lifespan to protect them . ”

Meng Chuan nodded . “I understand . ” They had been together for many years, so he naturally understood his wife .

When faced with such a situation, he knew that his wife wouldn’t hesitate to consume a portion of her lifespan to save over ten million people . It was the same for the many Godfiends that had died in battle . They, too, had not hesitated to sacrifice themselves .

“I managed to protect Snow Wind Pass and even killed Patriarch Poison Dragon,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile . “A living Patriarch Poison Dragon is a scourge to humanity . Furthermore, I obtained a Tribulation treasure . ” With a flip of her palm, a mysterious dark-cyan bead-the Water Essence Pearl-appeared in her hand .

“Apart from you, Qiyue, nobody in the human world can kill Patriarch Poison Dragon head-on,” said Meng Chuan as he looked at his wife .

Liu Qiyue smiled as she glanced at her husband worriedly . “Will you think less of me now that I’ve grown old?”

In the past, Liu Qiyue maintained a very youthful appearance . She looked like she was 20 years old . Meng Chuan had maintained his youthful appearance as well . However, Liu Qiyue’s long hair was now snow-white, and her face had some wrinkles . She looked like she was in her thirties or forties .

“I can still live for 53 years . I can barely control my appearance . As I near the end of my lifespan, I’ll look older and older,” said Liu Qiyue softly . She looked up at Meng Chuan . “You—”

Liu Qiyue stared at her husband dazedly .

Her husband’s long hair was also white, and a few wrinkles appeared on his face . He looked like he was in his thirties or forties . Liu Qiyue only had such an appearance because of her waning lifespan, but Meng Chuan had taken the initiative to look this way by controlling his body .

Meng Chuan smiled at his wife . “I’ll grow old together with you . ”

Liu Qiyue hugged Meng Chuan tightly .

Above the inner city pass, invisible ripples spread out . The surrounding guards and Godfiends couldn’t see them .

Inside Meng Chuan and his wife’s residence .

The couple sat on a bench in the corridor . Liu Qiyue leaned on her husband and smiled . “Ah Chuan, do you think we’ll grow old together?”

“Yes, of course . ” Meng Chuan nodded . “We grew up together . It’s been almost 100 years, and our hair has turned white together . We have definitely grown old together . ”

“The heavens have really treated me well . ” Liu Qiyue hugged her husband’s arm and watched the fluttering snowflakes in the sky . “I have a pair of outstanding children, a good husband, and we’ve been together for nearly a century . Many mortals don’t even live 100 years… This year, you’re 98 years old . I’m 97 years old . ”

Meng Chuan smiled and nodded . “Yes, we’re nearly 100 years old . ”

“It’s really nice to live a long life and grow old together,” said Liu Qiyue . “During this war, so many people have died . So many Godfiends died in battle . Our situation is already really

good . ”

Meng Chuan listened to his wife, staying silent .

“Ah Chuan, do you still remember what we promised each other?” Liu Qiyue smiled and said, “Back when we were at Archean Mountain, we agreed to walk to the ends of our lives together . It was either we kill all the demons in the world, returning peace to our world, or we die in battle .

“I have always been prepared to die in battle . We’ve now lived for almost 100 years . ” Liu Qiyue looked at Meng Chuan . “At the time we made that pact, we felt like our goal of vanquishing all demons in the world was too distant . We were prepared to dedicate our entire lives to achieving this goal . Back then, we would’ve never imagined that you, Ah Chuan, would be the one to wipe out one million demon monarchs . The world has been peaceful for decades because of your actions . ”

“Ha . ” Meng Chuan laughed . “That’s right . Back then, I only wanted to kill demons and risk my life for peace . I never expected that this day would come . ”

“The task is not done until it’s done . ” Liu Qiyue looked at her husband . “We’re getting closer and closer to achieving victory in the war, but that’s why we can’t be careless . ”

Meng Chuan looked at his wife beside him .

“But I want to see the world with you, Ah Chuan,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile . “I want to be extravagant for a year . After a carefree year, I’ll do what needs to be done . ”

That night .

Swoosh . Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar left Snow Wind Pass and came to the wilderness outside the city . When he saw Li Guan’s Essence Soul avatar, the illusory figures of Qin Wu and Luo Tang appeared beside him .

“Meng Chuan,” said Qin Wu . “We watched the battle at Snow Wind Pass during the day . Liu Qiyue saved more than ten million people at Snow Wind Pass; she also killed the scourge that is Patriarch Poison Dragon . ” Meng Chuan nodded . “Yea . ”

Li Guan looked at Meng Chuan . “However, we know that Liu Qiyue has consumed a lot of her lifespan to protect all of Snow Wind Pass . ” “Yes, she consumed more than 220 years of her lifespan . ” Meng Chuan nodded . “Qiyue can only live for 53 more years . ” Liu Qiyue didn’t mind . Mortals were considered to have long lives if they lived for 100 years . Thus, she was satisfied that she could live this long . However, Meng Chuan’s heart ached for his wife .

“She can live for 53 more years…,” said Qin Wu . “As you know, according to Archean Mountain’s rules, a Regis Godfiend with about only 50 years left to live will need to enter the Millennium Instant slumber . This is to prepare for when the war enters its most crucial period in the future . They’ll be awakened once they are needed during that crucial period . After casting Phoenix’s Nirvana, Liu Qiyue has even greater strength than Senior Brother Li and me . She will be of great use in future battles . ”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly . “Qiyue was actually prepared for this . I just hope that Qiyue and I will have a year to ourselves . She will enter the Millenium Instant slumber a year later . ”

“This is just a precaution . Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue doesn’t have to die,” said Qin Wu . “We are also saving her by having her enter the Millenium Instant slumber . ”

“Saving her?” Meng Chuan was stunned .

“Yes . ” Qin Wu nodded . “By entering the Millennium Instant slumber, she can live for more than 1,000 years . With your talent and perception, you have a high chance of becoming a Tribulation Eminence within 1,000 years . ”

Li Guan added, “You have the greatest potential in the human world . You rank number one in Heart Sea Palace and Battle God Pagoda’s combined ranking . It’s very likely that you can become a Tribulation Eminence within 1,000 years . When you are strong enough, you will have all sorts of ways to save Liu Qiyue . You might obtain a treasure that can extend her lifespan, and restore her body’s vitality to its peak . Liu Qiyue can then continue to cultivate . She might even become a Creation Supremacy .

“However, longevity extension treasures are very rare . You can also find treasures similar to the Dao Protectors’ bodies . After undergoing a life modification process, she can also live for a long time as a special lifeform . As long as you grow fast enough, Liu Qiyue won’t need to cast Phoenix’s Nirvana in the future,” said Li Guan . “The Millennium Instant mystic technique can save her . ”

“Longevity extension treasures? Restore her body’s vitality to its peak?” Meng Chuan was tempted .

The illusory Qin Wu said, “A long time ago, during Archean Eon Sect’s era, humans had these longevity extension treasures . However, too many Godfiends yearned for them, so they have long been used up . You have to search for them yourself now . There’s hope of finding them if you become a Tribulation Eminence . ”

“Even if you can’t find a longevity extension treasure, you can spend Liu Qiyue’s remaining 50 years with her . Of course, this will only happen if we win the war within 1,000 years,” said Luo Tang .

Meng Chuan nodded slightly .

“Regardless, the people at Snow Wind Pass will have eternal gratitude towards Qiyue,” said Qin Wu . “She saved more than ten million people . She also indirectly saved tens of millions of people by killing Patriarch Poison Dragon . ” Meng Chuan smiled . “Qiyue was willing to do so . ”

She had no regrets .

Snow Wind Pass became a major city pass . Due to Archean Mountain having a shortage of Creation Supremacies, Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s Mi Yu temporarily guarded it . Once Archean Mountain gave birth to a new Creation Supremacy in the future, they would take over Mi Yu’s role . “The world is peaceful . It’s much more prosperous than before . ” Liu Qiyue and Meng Chuan flew high in the sky . She smiled and said, “All these years, I have been guarding cities . I haven’t seen the world properly . For the next year, Ah Chuan, you have to keep me company . ” “Don’t worry . I’ll keep you company,” said Meng Chuan with a smile .

The couple began to admire the vistas the land had to offer, traveling the world that they protected with their lives .
