However, the expected crash to the ground never happened; Xu Sheng remained steadily suspended in midair before he stood up…
His dark eyes swept over Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo, detecting their worried expressions he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Duanmu Lian patted her chest, speaking in a resentful tone, "You scared me to death! I thought you were seriously injured when I saw that posture just now!"
The Cloud Devouring Beast also nodded in agreement, saying, "Exactly, exactly, you had me ready to collect your corpse!"
Yet Zhou Qingruo said nothing, her expression relaxing somewhat…
Xu Sheng chuckled and said, "I've worried you. The demon cultivators in Central State have all been slain, and my purpose for coming to this world has been achieved, I will be leaving here soon!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingruo's expression grew troubled once again, her amber-colored beautiful eyes staring fixedly at Xu Sheng, she bit back, "Xu Sheng, can't you… not go?"
Even though she already knew the answer to her question, she still wanted to voice it out…
At least, she had tried to persuade him to stay!
Xu Sheng reached out his hand, gently caressing her cheek, and said tenderly, "Qingruo, I'm sorry, I must leave here, of course, there might come a day when I return here."
Finally, Zhou Qingruo's beautiful eyes dimmed somewhat, Xu Sheng hadn't made any promises…
He had not even considered taking her along…
She understood…
Duanmu Lian said urgently, "Xu Sheng, if you are leaving, then why don't you take us to your world? Now that the Duanmu Family no longer exists, Qingruo and I have no home to return to."
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng was somewhat taken aback and said, "Go to my world?"
If he were to take them back to the Divine Realm, his own situation would become very awkward…
After all… he already had a child with Qian Ren Xue, and Qian Yu, he had even become one of the five great Divine Kings of the Divine Realm…
Who knows what might happen then…
Thinking of this, he still shook his head and refused…
He said apologetically, "Lian, I would also like to take you to my world, but I can't do that!"
Hearing this straightforward refusal, Duanmu Lian slowly bowed her head, "I see. I understand!"
Indeed, for a man as outstanding as Xu Sheng, his world likely already has a partner with deep feelings…
If she and Zhou Qingruo went there, they would only add to his troubles…
Xu Sheng silently watched the two women for a dozen or so seconds, then finally said, "Then, Qingruo, Lian, goodbye!"
After speaking, he turned around, ready to leave…
However, Zhou Qingruo's voice rang out again, "Wait, Xu Sheng!"
Xu Sheng stopped in his tracks and turned his head back to look at Zhou Qingruo…
All he saw was her quickly approaching him, stretching out her arms to embrace him tightly, and then her soft, thin lips came to kiss him…
A sweet taste swept over them…
Xu Sheng didn't resist because he knew this might be his last bit of compensation to Zhou Qingruo…
The kiss lasted an unknown duration before the teary-eyed Zhou Qingruo finally let go of Xu Sheng, pursed her lips, and said, "Xu Sheng, take care!"
Xu Sheng looked at her cheeks, softly uttered an "Mmh!"…
Watching this heart-wrenching scene, Duanmu Lian felt bittersweet and chose to turn her head away…
They clearly had feelings for each other, yet they had to part. If it were her, she would probably be struck by a deep blow, right?
Xu Sheng took a deep breath, knowing it was about time, glanced at everyone, then silently sighed…

The next moment, under everyone's gaze, Xu Sheng's figure gradually faded and turned into particles that slowly dissipated...
In the entire Cultivation Plane, Xu Sheng's presence was no more...
......
When Xu Sheng reappeared, he had already reached a place not far from the Douluo plane...
At this moment, his entire appearance and clothing had returned to their original form, and he was exuding a strong oppressive aura...
Immediately afterwards, he casually waved his hand, and the vortex of Divine Realm space slowly opened...
As he stepped in, the figures of Tang San and others appeared before his eyes...
Feeling Xu Sheng's presence, they all turned their gazes forward and could clearly see the all-too-familiar man!
After Xu Sheng emerged, he smiled and said, "Long time no see, Tang San, Kindness, Evil, and Qian Yu!"
Tang San teased, "Welcome back, Brother Sheng, I didn't expect you to have stayed over there for so many years!"
He originally thought Xu Sheng would be able to deal with the space crack quickly, but it turned out that they had been waiting for a long time...
As a result, the Divine Realm was restless, with people needing to monitor the extent of the crack's spread every day!
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"
If he remembered correctly, he hadn't stayed long in the Cultivation Plane, had he?
Could it be due to the time difference between the two planes?
With this in mind, he calmly said, "When I first arrived at that plane, my Divine Power was sealed during the transformation, and it was only recently that I recovered."
Otherwise, he would have destroyed that space crack the moment he reached the Cultivation Plane!
Hearing this, the Evil God, still shaken, said, "So that's what happened! Even the fearsome power of a Creator God like you was sealed. If it had been any one of us, it's likely... we could have perished in a foreign plane!"
The Kindness God nodded in full agreement...
Without their Divine Power, it meant they had no ability to resist!
In an unknown other plane, this was undoubtedly a devastating blow!
Just then, the always silent Qian Yu suddenly asked, "Father, have you settled everything in the other plane?"
Xu Sheng glanced at him, noncommittally saying, "Yes! It's all been taken care of."
"That's good. But Father, you should go see Mother first, she's been very worried about you every day!"
No sooner had the words fallen, than Xu Sheng's spirit moved, and he vanished into thin air...
Tang San wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "This... really is just like Brother Sheng's character!"
The Kindness God shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I was actually looking forward to discussing the Dragon God issue, but it seems we'll have to postpone it until another day."
The Evil God mocked, "Sea God, this is all your fault! You let the Dragon God, who had turned into the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King, get away!"
During the time when Creator God Xu Sheng went to the Cultivation Plane, the Dragon God, who had always harbored ulterior motives, took the opportunity to rebel...
But with the united efforts of the Divine Kings and Qian Yu wielding the Blade of Judgment, they split the Dragon God in half; however, due to Tang San's oversight, they both managed to escape from the Divine Realm to the Lower Realm...
And since the Higher Realm Gods were not supposed to interfere with the Lower Realm, they had been waiting for Xu Sheng's return to decide what to do next!
Tang San did not argue but sighed, "This... was indeed my oversight. I never imagined that the Dragon God, even when split in half, would still be a formidable force!"
