Gently, Ren Yuan laid Chun Yue's body down.
With a wave of his hand, a golden coffin materialized—crafted from the purest divine power of the God of Heaven. He placed Chun Yue inside, his fingers lingering on her face for a final moment before sealing it shut.
The coffin pulsed with radiant light, protecting her body for eternity.
Yue Yun watched in stunned silence. Even Yao Xi's contempt faltered briefly at the raw emotion in Ren Yuan's actions.
Only Yun Lintian remained unmoved.
Ren Yuan slowly raised his head, his golden eyes meeting Yun Lintian's. "You've won," he said hoarsely. "But I have one last request."
He placed a trembling hand on Chun Yue's coffin. "Bury us in our homeland... the Heavenly Desolate Realm."
Yao Xi's aura erupted in fury. "Dream on!" she spat, her divine light surging as she prepared to attack.
Yun Lintian didn't even glance at her. He simply raised a finger—
BANG!
An invisible force clamped down on Yao Xi, freezing her in place.
