In the last days within the Divine Realm, Xu Sheng had almost always stayed by Qian Renxue and Qian Yu's side...
And today was the day of Qian Yu and Tang Wutong's divine ceremony!
Apart from the three Divine Kings, nearly all the gods of the Divine Realm were invited, no matter if they were First-Level Gods, Second-Level Gods, or Third-Rank Gods! They had all gathered at the location of the divine ceremony, creating an exceptionally lively scene!
A smiling Second-Level God could be seen saying, "This is the first time our Divine Realm has put on such a grand scale event!"
The First-Level God beside him nodded in agreement, "Of course, we have to show some respect for the newly promoted Divine King! I heard he wiped out the Fire God and his lot with a single move..."
"Ahem... Be careful with your words, have you not seen the Fire God and the others right behind us?"
"The scale this time is indeed huge. Apart from most of the gods from the Divine Realm, even the Sea God, the Kindness God, and the Evil God, the three great Divine Kings, have come to witness this divine ceremony!"
"If only I were the leading lady of the divine ceremony, that would certainly be a feather in my cap!"
Gazing toward the front, there stood Tang Wutong in a pristine white bridal gown, her beauty radiating so intensely that it made the surrounding scenery pale in comparison...
She gently hooked arms with Qian Yu, whispering, "Qian Yu, so many gods have come to attend our ceremony! Is this perhaps due to your promotion to Divine King?"
Qian Yu chuckled lightly, "I think it should be thanks to my father, but until now, I still haven't seen him."
Tang Wutong blinked her beautiful eyes, pondering, "Maybe Uncle Xu Sheng is planning to give us a surprise!"
Meanwhile, Bi Bidong turned towards Qian Renxue and asked softly, "Ren Xue, Xu Sheng hasn't arrived yet? The divine ceremony is about to start!"
Qian Renxue's gaze drifted in another direction, "Xu Sheng he..."
Bi Bidong read everything in that look and sighed, "Is that so? He wouldn't even attend his own son's divine ceremony, is he afraid he won't have the heart to leave?"
However, she could understand...
On the other side, Xiaowu, seeing that most of the gods below had almost arrived, leaned towards Tang San and whispered, "Xiaosan, we can start the ceremony now!"
Tang San furrowed his brows, "But Brother Sheng hasn't arrived yet, wouldn't it be..."
Xiaowu pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes staring into Tang San's, earnestly saying, "Xiaosan, don't you understand? If Xu Sheng wanted to come, it would only take a second!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San first paused, then suddenly had an epiphany...
Right! With Xu Sheng's strength, coming here would only take a few seconds! And yet, he still hadn't arrived!
It was clear...
He didn't want to come! Or rather, he was afraid he couldn't make the decision to leave...
Tang San gave a wry smile, "Won't he even meet with Qian Yu and the others one last time?"
But the ceremony had reached this point, and it had to go on...
Surely, this was what Xu Sheng would have wanted to see the most!
He took a deep breath, stepped forward to Qian Yu and Tang Wutong, his deep blue eyes looking at the gods below, and announced, "I, Sea God Tang San, am here to thank all of you for attending my daughter Tang Wutong's and Qian Yu's divine ceremony..."
"I hope under everyone's witness..."
While speaking, a warm round of applause erupted from the gods below...
But Tang Wutong's beautiful eyes flickered with confusion, furrowing her brows as she looked at Tang San beside her, "Dad, Uncle Xu Sheng hasn't arrived yet, why are we..."
Before she could finish, Qian Yu, holding her hand, tightened his grip a bit more...
He smiled and said, "Wu Tong, don't worry about anything else, just be happy..."
Father, you must think this way too, right?
Hearing this, Tang Wutong seemed to realize something as well, her look turning back to one of joy, and she tenderly said, "Alright!"
...
Elsewhere, Xu Sheng's gaze rested on the talented man and the stunning beauty, Qian Yu and Tang Wutong, especially when Tang San said "The ceremony is complete," and the two shared a passionate kiss...
A smile slowly formed on his lips....
He whispered softly, "Alright! It's time for me to leave!"
No sooner had he spoken than, with a casual wave of his hand, the phantom images before his eyes shattered into sparkling particles....
Xu Sheng's gaze returned to the exceedingly unstable space before him....
He erupted with endless Power of Creation, frantically pouring it into the expanse of space....
Before long, under the invasion of the Power of Creation, the space began to tear, forming a small vortex that emitted a pulsating aura....
Xu Sheng frowned, finding this space more troublesome than he had imagined; so much Power of Creation had been infused, and yet it resulted in the formation of only a small vortex....
Not to mention an adult, even a head couldn't pass through!
With this thought, Xu Sheng unleashed an even more terrifying Power of Creation, relentlessly invading the vortex....
As the invested power grew, the vortex slowly expanded at a visible rate....
After enduring for several minutes, the vortex was finally enlarged just enough to allow a person to pass through....
Xu Sheng stepped forward to face the vortex and couldn't help but look back in the direction where Tang Wutong and Qian Yu's ritual had taken place....
He murmured, "Goodbye, Ren Xue, Qian Yu...."
After these words fell, Xu Sheng, having steeled his resolve, stepped into the vortex without a change in expression, and was instantly sucked into its depths by a powerful force....
When Xu Sheng's figure disappeared from the Divine Realm, the vortex, no longer supported by the Power of Creation, quickly reverted back to its original state, as if nothing had happened....
...
After the godly ritual concluded, all the gods had departed....
Tang Wutong said with a look of disappointment, "I didn't expect that in the end, Uncle Xu Sheng wouldn't attend our godly ritual...."
Qian Yu too pursed her lips, somewhat puzzled as to why Xu Sheng had not attended....
Seeing this, the Kindness God and the Evil God exchanged glances, then turned and chose to leave....
The matters that followed were beyond their intervention!
Tang San approached the two, his expression complex as he explained, "Wutong, Qian Yu, it's time to tell you. In fact, it was Xu Sheng's idea for you to hold the godly ritual as soon as possible!"
"And the reason he didn't participate is because he had to do something that could affect the safety of the Divine Realm!"
He had wanted to tell them later, but doing so might have led Tang Wutong and Qian Yu to form a biased view of Xu Sheng....
The disappointment on Tang Wutong's face eased quite a bit, "So that's it. No wonder Uncle Xu Sheng didn't come."
There was even a moment before when she thought Xu Sheng might have disapproved of her relationship with Qian Yu!
Qian Yu's snow-white eyes turned towards Bi Bidong and she asked softly, "Mom, you knew in advance too, didn't you?"
Bi Bidong did not deny it, "Mhm!"
Qian Yu took a deep breath and spoke again, "Then, can you tell me where Dad has gone exactly?"
Bi Bidong smiled faintly, softening her tone as much as possible, "Xu Sheng... he has gone to another new world."
Presumably, Xu Sheng must have already arrived at that entirely different world by now....
It really does spark some curiosity....
