Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 400 All Departure
The woman's appearance felt familiar to Ning Bei. He was certain that she was someone very important to him, but he couldn't remember who she was no matter what.

"Abbe, I've finally found you."

"Abe? Is that calling me? Who am I?"

Ning Bei's eyes were filled with confusion. She didn't know her own origins, nor was she sure if the woman in front of her was calling her.

But this did not prevent the woman from feeling genuinely happy upon seeing him. She then rushed towards him with all her might, opening her arms as if she were a fledgling returning to its nest.

Ning Bei subconsciously opened his arms to welcome the woman, as if it were all perfectly natural, something that had become muscle memory for him.

But the next moment, an accident occurred. As the woman ran towards him, her eyes suddenly became unfocused, wrinkles appeared on her cheeks, her hair gradually turned gray, and her slender legs lost their strength, causing her to slowly fall to the ground.

"A century has passed, and I have finally found you, Abe. It is so good to see you one last time!"

Ning Bei stared wide-eyed, as if she couldn't believe what was happening in front of her. How could the beautiful young woman have aged so much in such a short time?

At this moment, Ning Bei finally remembered his past with Dugu Yan, and what he was doing.
"Have I been on the path to godhood for so long already?"

Ning Bei rushed to Dugu Yan's side and gently embraced the aging Dugu Yan, her arms trembling with excitement.

"Yanzi, I'm sorry, I couldn't keep my promise to you."

"It's alright, I never blamed you. I just wanted to see you one last time before I died."

The wrinkled hand gently brushed across his face, then suddenly fell heavily to the ground, and the Dugu Yan in his arms was no longer alive.

Crystalline tears slowly dripped onto the aged face with closed eyes and a smile. Ning Bei felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, impossible to move.

He held the body in his arms tightly, unwilling to let go, until the aged woman slowly turned into starlight and disappeared into the world. Ning Bei was still in a daze.

Just as Ning Bei stood there in a daze, a hand touched his shoulder, and words of affection mixed with a hint of reproach slowly entered his ears.

"You silly child, why don't you ever come back to the sect to see me? How have you been these past years?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ning Bei's unfocused pupils instantly focused, and he mechanically turned around to see Huo Linglong's smiling face.

"mother?"

"Hmph, I don't need a son like you who's never home."

The haughty look slowly overlapped with Huo Linglong's pretty face in her memory, and Ning Bei was overjoyed and immediately got up to give her a hug.

But the next second, under Ning Bei's horrified gaze, Huo Linglong slowly aged and passed away until she could no longer stand and collapsed to the ground.

"It's been over a hundred years, how could your mother possibly have the strength to catch you? You must take good care of yourself, understand?"

After saying that, the aged and inhuman Huo Linglong, like Dugu Yan, slowly turned into starlight and disappeared into the world.

Ningbei immediately stepped forward to hug her mother, but got nothing in return.

Behind them, familiar voices rang out again: Chen Xin's, Gu Rong's, Ning Fan's, and Ning Fengzhi's, who had said nothing but sighed in the distance. Without exception, they had all aged after bidding farewell to Ning Bei, eventually turning into starlight and dissipating into the world.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I thought the exam would be over quickly, so that everyone wouldn't have to worry."

Ning Bei was filled with self-blame. He hadn’t expected the divine test to last for nearly a hundred years, so long that the people he cared about couldn’t wait any longer and turned into dust.

Just as he was feeling extremely sad, a series of playful voices interrupted his thoughts.

"elder brother!"

"Brother Ningbei!"

Looking back, Ning Bei saw her younger sister standing with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, smiling and waving at her.

Upon seeing the three of them, Ning Bei was overjoyed and strode forward to embrace them all. "That's wonderful! You've all become gods, right? You won't leave me anymore."

The joy was short-lived, interrupted by several aged voices. Ning Bei stiffened and mechanically looked down at her chest.

The three sisters, who were just moments ago young and beautiful, have instantly turned into old and frail trees.

“Brother, what are you saying? We’re all waiting for you to find us a divine position. We don’t have that kind of ability ourselves.”

"Don't be afraid, I'll go find it for you right now. You have to hold on."

Seeing that the terrible scene was about to happen again, Ning Bei panicked and, without caring where she was, immediately turned around to find a divine position for the three of them.

"No need, brother, it's too late. We just wanted to see you."

"No!"

Ning Bei turned back to look at the three of them with a pained expression, and the three of them, just like the others before them, smiled, closed their eyes, and turned into starlight and disappeared into his world.

"what!!"

From despair to anger, Ning Bei only took a second. Feeling that everything was his fault, he began to pound the ground to vent his anger.

If I hadn't spent so much time on this damn divine test, none of us would have had to go through birth, aging, sickness, and death. What would be the point of me becoming a god now?
The angry pounding caused ripples on the pristine white ground, which eventually returned to calm. But how could the resentment of losing all those he cared about be quelled?

"Hehe, it's really ugly."

"Ok?"

Another familiar voice entered her ears, instantly pulling Ning Bei back from her rage. Turning her head, she saw the little angel returning home to undergo divine testing at the time of their separation.

"Xue'er!"

Ning Bei's eyes lit up with unprecedented joy. She immediately stepped forward and embraced the delicate body, kissing the other's golden hair repeatedly.

"Xue'er, you won't disappear, right?"

The little angel in his arms seemed to be in a bad mood, nodded and pushed him away.

"Of course I won't die of old age like those mortals, I am an angel god!"

"Great, finally!"

"Great? I am an angel god, but you are still just a mortal. And it was all because of your grandfather that he left me. You don't still naively think that I would stay here with you, do you?"

"Xuexue'er"

Ning Bei's joy froze instantly, and a bitter feeling rose in her heart.

"Yes, I have no face to see you since I failed to fulfill my promise to the old man."

"Good to know. I'm only here to say goodbye. I'm going to the realm of gods."

"Really?"

Ning Bei wanted to persuade her to stay, to tell her not to leave him alone, but the words just wouldn't come out. The little angel seemed to have noticed his thoughts and a cold smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

A faint light emanated from her hand as she peeled a Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red flower from Ning Bei's soul tool.

Guided by the divine power of the angels, the immortal herb slowly floated into Qian Renxue's hands.
