Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

How fast is three days?

It passed in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Xiao set up more than a dozen magic arrays on the immortal ship and left more than thirty backup plans, handing them all over to Jing Yuan at once.

At the final dinner, even though the sorrow of parting was almost overwhelming, everyone managed a smile.

Yunhua didn't care about any of that; he was someone who couldn't handle pressure, and immediately gave Chengxiao a bear hug.

"Waaaaah, my good brother! Why did you leave like that? Don't worry, in all the years you were gone, I made sure you enjoyed all the good food and fun things."

Cheng Xiao's face darkened. "As expected, Yun Hua, you should go back to the furnace for retraining."

The atmosphere eased considerably as Yunhua, a grown man, began to cry and sob.

Until the very last moment, Yun Wu confided his innermost thoughts to Cheng Xiao.

Bai Heng couldn't help but shed tears as well:

"I just said Yunwu would never be separated, but I forgot to include you. It must be my bad luck. Next time I'll say, we'll never be separated!"

Danfeng took out half of the jade pendant:

"You gave me the power to live forever, so I don't need to shed my scales. But remember, I will always wait for you. Even if I am reincarnated, you will be the first person I think of."

Jing Liu rolled her eyes at Dan Feng:

"Don't say such unlucky things, we'll all be fine, Ah Xiao... could you do your hair one more time?"

Ying Xing went even further, taking out a ring.

"Wear it. It's my hope. If you wear it, I won't think about anything else."

Jing Yuan held the box given to him by Cheng Xiao, which contained the essence of the protective immortal ship.

"Uncle-Master...please rest assured, with me here, Luofu will be absolutely safe and sound."

Cheng Xiao nodded and stroked Jing Yuan's white fur.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Finally, Cheng Xiao said to his two daughters:

"Little White Dew, study medicine well, don't cause trouble every day, play in moderation, eat well, drink well, and sleep well."

Bai Lu, hands on her hips, declared, "Hmph! Studying medicine won't save Father, we'll become the Insect Queen! We don't want Father to leave us!"

"Listen to me, stop making trouble, my dear girl, don't cause me any more trouble."

Cheng Xiao looked at Dan Heng:

"You're most like me, Danheng. Walk your own path, go see more, experience more. Don't be as extreme as your mother. If you make any good friends when you go out, be sure to bring them back for me to meet."

"Hmm...I understand. Take care, Father."

Danfeng wanted to laugh and scold, but Jingliu was still thinking about the child Chengxiao had promised... but the next moment, Chengxiao disappeared.

It was abrupt, yet not lingering, without a trace of the stickiness of parting.

Jingliu could no longer hold back, and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Really... they didn't even give me a chance to say goodbye properly."

......

Within the narrow confines of fate.

Cheng Xiao can arrive here with just a thought.

I'm sorry, but if the farewell is delayed too long, he might end up looking disheveled.

"If you cry too hard, it will be embarrassing when we meet next time."

Cheng Xiao chuckled self-deprecatingly and looked at the place where stars gathered before him.

The center extends infinitely, like the Milky Way, with stars converging and gathering within it, carrying countless memories.

With each step Cheng Xiao took, faint phantom images of memories of the others would appear, and echoes of the past would resound in his mind.

Cheng Xiao slowly walked to the extreme point of the stars and reached out to touch the line of destiny that belonged to balance.

boom--!

Countless sounds exploded here, golden blood flowed down, and the white-haired, black-skinned giant looked down at him.

Destruction is being invited.

Cheng Xiao ignored him. Nanuk's golden eyes flashed, and golden blood surged toward Cheng Xiao, but he refused.

Then Nanook closed his eyes, and his figure gradually disappeared.

The next moment, an aura of destruction surged up, and even the road beneath Cheng Xiao's feet trembled incessantly.

Since you refuse to face destruction, then destroy all your other paths.

Just as Cheng Xiao was about to rebel, golden rice ears cast green light, and a Buddha or Bodhisattva with a light veil on his face quietly stood up.

The destructive forces could no longer interfere, the countless cracks in the road were repaired, and Abundance had intervened.

The pharmacist held the red bead in her hand, her beautiful eyes fixed on Cheng Xiao. Green light shone on Cheng Xiao's body, and Cheng Xiao felt as if something was about to grow inside him.

His stomach was churning, and he felt like vomiting, but the Pharmacist not only didn't stop, but also wanted to get closer to him and hug him.

"Are you sick?! Get out of my way!"

A balanced force separated Him, and sorrow reappeared in the Pharmacist's elegant expression.

Why refuse? Why be unwilling? To merge with me, to receive my command, and to ascend together to paradise.

Cheng Xiao only wanted to flee in panic, the heavy sound of the hammer reverberating in his ears.

It was meant to protect, but He ignored Riding Free.

But the abundant entanglement vanished, as if isolated by an unknown wall.

Cheng Xiao nodded and continued walking forward.

Cripper built the walls as if nothing could disturb Him.

However, after taking only a few steps, soaring music began, and beautiful ritual music was displayed. The deity with three faces opened his eyes.

Cheng Xiao watched Him warily, fearing what Tong Xie [Xi Pei] might do.

However, He merely chuckled, and a puzzle piece fell from Him into Cheng Xiao's hand.

How kind, how congenial, how harmonious! I have not given you a gift, this is compensation, may you and I strive together.

Hipper left, coming and going quickly.

As we continued onward, dreamlike bubbles began to appear.

It is a mystery [myth].

"Hey buddy, what are you doing here? We have nothing to do with each other, right?"

Haha... The essence of things cannot be perceived, and finite things cannot imagine the infinite, hence all things remain a mystery.

The world is a vast mystery, which intellect will seek to solve; equilibrium disrupts cognition.

The universe is inexhaustible; truth is an illusion.

Myth is like a jellyfish with a shattered body, releasing a fog of thought and a rain of senses, in which countless fabrications melt away.

The power originally intended to combat intellect began to target Cheng Xiao, blurring his vision and making it impossible for him to discern the path ahead.

"Why are you stopping me?"

[The extremes of Yin and Yang, coupled with today's enhanced intellect, have rendered certain calculations ineffective in determining possible variables. I seek to enhance myself through balance; therefore, Yin and Yang cannot disappear.]

"No, I won't allow it."

He no longer responded, and the mist remained.

Cheng Xiao didn't want to use the power of the talisman, as that would shake the narrow passage of fate, but the current situation...

call out--!

A shooting star streaked across the sky, illuminating the path ahead for the hesitant Cheng Xiao.

It is 【岚】.

O wandering hunter, I will guide you on your way.

"Thanks for the rocket, Brother Lan! You're so generous!"

They encountered so many obstacles along the way; Cheng Xiao was almost exhausted.

If I didn't want to be crowned a god, I would have fought you guys to the death.

[Memory] is watching a play, [Nothingness] is ignoring it.

Misi still wanted to stay and enjoy the ride, and countless joyful laughs erupted.

"Hahaha~ Oh dear~ Someone needs Aha's help~"

"Ah! You bastard, how long have you been watching this show? Come on, help me out!"

"Waaaah, you actually yelled at me! You already have Xiao Ha, but you don't want her help. Instead, you yell at me, the one who offered to help! I'm so sad. Aha won't help you anymore~"

"Oh my Chovy, you're the best! Hurry up!"

"Hahahaha~ Let's go!"

Cheng Xiao felt like he'd been kicked in the butt, and tumbled head over heels into the realm of equilibrium.

Very good!

Cheng Xiao decisively merged with his destiny, using his own strength to mitigate the effects of Yin and Yang.

Ahha could only do so much; He was also feeling somewhat powerless.

But... in the end, it's still me, Aha, who'll be there for you~
