Chapter 366 - Goodbye, Friend
Chapter 366: Goodbye, Friend
The three fell silent, what a time they didn’t know what to say. As the God of Creation of this world, he had indeed done his job to the best. Shen Jing once said that they were leftover turbid consciousnesses who were meant to disappear one day. Now was the time for him to disappear.
“Shen Ying, is there no way for him to reload?” Lonemoon couldn’t help but ask.
Shen Ying didn’t speak, but Godfiend shook his head. “That won’t be necessary. I’m just tired, having reached the time for me to rest.”
“…”
“What other wishes do you have?” Shen Ying asked.
He smiled. After a long while he said, “Big Boss… If it’s possible, can you forgive Little Shortie? Unlike me, she’s the spirit of the River of Forgetfulness. So long as the River is here, she won’t disappear. The matter last time, I forced her to do it. She’s the only one left among the three of us now, if you won’t speak to her… she’d be too lonely.”
“Alright.”
He smiled even more happily, and that hint of smile beside his lips didn’t go away. “Thank you, Big Boss…”
After he finished saying that, his body disappeared completely in front of the three, and changed into thousands of glittering, starry lights, like the light dots from the Three Realms around them.
Shen Ying’s look deepened, and she couldn’t help but reaching out with her hands. Immediately, the light dots all around gathered in her palm and in a short while they concentrated into a light ball, falling upon her palm.
In the next moment, the air distorted and Meng Po suddenly appeared in the Divine Realm. She came in a rush and was breathing heavily. As though she had already sensed something, she looked at the three blankly.
“Sect master, he…”
Only then did Shen Ying hand over the light ball in her palm. “Send him on his last journey!”
Meng Po was stunned, looking at the soul in her hand, she only took it trembling after a long while. She held it very carefully with both hands, and after a long moment she said, “… Okay.” Although she knew that there would be such a day, she didn’t expect it to be so soon. Among the three, he was apparently the one who wished the most for a Manager to be found.
Just as she was turning to return to the Underworld, Shen Ying suddenly spoke out, “Oh yeah, after sending him off, maybe return to Invincible Sect. Roasted Chicken Gal misses you!”
She stiffened for a moment, and some wetness appeared faintly in her eyes. After a long moment she nodded. “Yes.” And she disappeared from the Divine Realm.
The three looked at the direction in which Little Shortie disappeared for a long while.
“Shen Ying,” Lonemoon asked, “That soul is…” The three ancient Gods were leftover turbid consciousnesses, who by right couldn’t enter into Samsara. Disappearing meant disappearing forever.
“The soul I made from his final aura.” Shen Ying explained.
Lonemoon nodded and sighed. Godfiend had been working hard for this plane since his birth, and now he could finally rest. The chance to be reborn as an ordinary person was probably what he hoped for.
He looked again at the direction in which Meng Po disappeared. It’s just that… even after rebirth, Godfiend would no longer be that Godfiend.

Perhaps being motivated by the prospect of returning to his own plane, Hong Meng worked fast. Within less than an hour, he had returned from the small world with a face full of excitement. In his hands he held that purple spring very carefully.
“Ma-Manger, we’re done.” His look towards Shen Ying had long been without that bone-deep hatred, which was replaced instead with reverence and lots of excitement.
“Oh.” Shen Ying nodded.
“May I know… what we should do next?”
Shen Ying thought about it and didn’t answer yet.
Before Lonemoon answered, “Wake the people on the ground first.” With that said, he pointed to the 11 on the ground who still lay unconscious and gave Yi Qing a look.
Yi Qing nodded, and they walked together towards those people. Hong Meng was stunned, and as though he had just remembered that those on the ground were his peers, he hurried over to help. “Yes, yes.”
Those people were injured by Shen Ying and naturally were injured rather severely. But Lonemoon and Yi Qing were assistants in any case, and they were in their own plane. So with their help in breath adjustment, the people finally wakened. It’s only that they would probably be unable to use spells within a year or so.
Seeing that most had woken up and Hong Meng had explained everything to them, Lonemoon pushed a certain person who started nibbling on a fruit once more. “You may start.”
“Oh.” Only then did Shen Ying stand up lazily. Really so troublesome.
She drew out a light screen directly and did some operations. An array-like figure immediately appeared on the ground. Shen Ying gestured for Hong Meng to stand on top of it. In the next moment, a data frame filled with his data emerged beside his body. Shen Ying looked through everything carefully before nodding and saying, “That’s it.”
She set the position to that of their original plane, before raising her hand to draw a line in the air. Immediately, a plane passage appeared in front of them. But unlike the white passage previously, this plane passage was black, and some unknown aura emerged front within.
“Go!” Shen Ying waved a hand and stepped inside first.
The group was delighted, and without thinking, they hurried to follow.
Yet Lonemoon’s heart actually tightened with an unknown sense of foreboding. He instinctively set up a few protective arrays around himself, before walking inside.
The group saw a darkness in front of them, and in the next moment they had reached a dark void with nothing around them, including the ground. Without preparation, the sudden loss of gravity made them all bump into one another. The injuries which were just starting to heal opened up once more with the impact. Many calls of pain rose at the same time. More importantly, there were many turbulences in the void which went straight towards them. Just as the group was about to start defense, they were tripped by their peers beside them and became even more unable to stand up.
The scene fell into chaos. It was extremely embarrassing.
Except for Shen Ying and her disciple in the front, and Lonemoon at the back.
“Oops, I forgot that your plane had already turned into void.” Shen Ying who was not at all affected by the turbulence scratched her head, her expression completely innocent.
Lonemoon who had set up a protective array earlier twitched his mouth. Indeed, getting tricked many times gave one experience. He turned to look at the crowd falling all over and his look darkened, but he didn’t speak.
Shen Ying obviously did this on purpose. That guy Godfiend was unwilling to speak the truth until his death. He probably didn’t intend to tell them after all, and they had to respect his intention. But… he was probably still angry!
“No, it’s we who didn’t think consider carefully.” Hong Meng actually didn’t think much of it. After working hard to separate the few who fell into a pile, they took out their protective Dharma artifacts and blocked out the turbulent flow which kept coming all around them.
“Oh, I’m off then.” Shen Ying turned to hand the box containing the small world to Father Niu, took two steps forward and breathed in deeply, before hitting downward with a fist.
They heard a crack, and the original completely dark void suddenly showed a white crack, as if the void was directly smashed broken. The crack was very small, only around one meter long, but it was very obvious.
Shen Ying clapped her hands and stood up. She stepped on that crack directly. Others heard a series of crisp cracking sounds. With every step that she took, the crack grew even wider, and it extended underneath her feet to the distance like a long snake. The sides of the crack also extended in all directions like a spider web.
The space which was originally a void changed drastically like a stage curtain was lifted. In the world that was originally turbid, clear substances started rising, and turbid substances started sinking. Material form started to appear underneath everyone’s feet. Heaven and earth started forming…
