"I have some great news to share! Our alliance has completed its initial construction and is poised to enter an even better era..."

Standing on the high platform in Yongding City's square, Qingwan announced some good news to the world.

Now the new nation has formed an alliance, extending from the East China Sea in the east to the snowy regions in the west, from the wilderness in the south to the tundra in the north. The entire world is within the alliance, and there are no more corrupt and backward dynasties.

Through special interconnected array devices, countless people in major urban areas witnessed Qingwan delivering the message in real time.

Afterwards, Qingwan gave another speech, stating that she would step back from the limelight for some time and would no longer participate in the main affairs of the alliance.

Many people expressed even greater respect and gratitude for this.

They all knew that this girl, the only one after Lu Zheng to attain sainthood, had sacrificed a great deal over the years.

Since Lu Zhengzhu suppressed the world, cultivation has become more difficult for cultivators, and the path to sainthood has become extremely arduous.

Even though Lu Zheng remained hidden from the world, Qing Wan's attainment of sainthood was still enough to awe the powerful figures of the world.

As a result, the overall quality of cultivators of all kinds has been improved.

After finishing her speech, Qingwan bid farewell to her colleagues of the past years and left Yongding City alone.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Qingwan's movements became lighter and more agile.

"Finally, I can get some rest..."

With a thought, Qing Wan vanished from the spot.

The next moment, she was suspended in the night sky.

Not far away, a small moon shone with a bright, clear light.

The entire bright moon was shrouded in a mysterious Taoist aura, which was difficult for those who were not drawn to it to set foot within.

Qingwan floated gracefully through the hazy Daoist aura and landed on the bright moon.

Her eyes sparkled, reflecting a charming little courtyard where a young man stood quietly gazing at the distant starry sky.

Lu Zheng turned to look at Qing Wan, a slight smile on his face, and said, "You're back?"

Qingwan smiled and said, "I'm stepping down! I can finally relax a bit now."

Lu Zheng said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Qingwan chuckled and said, "You too."

Lu Zheng has remained out of the public eye for years, and no one knows whether he is still alive, but Qing Wan knows that he is doing well. Moreover, after recovering in recent years, Lu Zheng has quietly eliminated some restless conservatives.

Otherwise, the establishment and development of the alliance would not have been so smooth.

Qingwan said excitedly, "The world has changed a lot. Let's go and see more places."

"it is good."

Lu Zheng smiled and nodded.

Suddenly, Lu Zheng sensed something and looked in one direction.

Soon, Yun Fuyao's figure appeared.

Upon seeing the two, Yun Fuyao smiled and said, "You're both here. I'm about to leave, so I've come to say goodbye."

Both of them glanced at him. Coming and going in this world is much more convenient than before. What is this Sect Master Yun here to say goodbye to?
Yun Fuyao slowly explained, "Not long ago, in order to comprehend the Dao and cultivate, I went to the depths of the starry sky... I sensed the aura of another world in a certain place, but it seems to be very far away, and the location is still uncertain..."

"I want to go and see another world. I don't know what the road ahead will be like, whether I can find that world, or whether I can return. So I've come to say goodbye to you."

Qingwan looked surprised upon hearing this. "Is that so? In which direction?"

Yun Fuyao raised her finger and tapped lightly, using magic to convey her experiences in detail to the two of them.

Upon receiving the message, Qingwan blinked, feeling a sense of wonder.

Lu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I will stay here to guard for at least another hundred years. If I have the chance in the future, I will go and see it for myself."

He was still worried about this place and couldn't possibly go with Yun Fuyao to search for a world whose exact location was unknown.

Yun Fuyao smiled and said, "Alright, I will leave some traces for you along the way, hoping that we can meet again in the future."

Having said that, Yun Fuyao turned around gracefully and transformed into a beam of light, disappearing into the distance.

Qingwan watched Yun Fuyao leave, her gaze burning as she said, "Tsk, our goal has become the stars and the sea!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng smiled slightly, and his originally relaxed gaze became resolute.
