Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

With a single strike, he actually shook the three paths of reincarnation together with Odin.

Waaah—!

How can one describe such a scene? Even the collapse of the heavens and the shattering of the earth seem insufficient, and the destruction of the world is somewhat understated. The five paths of reincarnation are forcibly blocked, yet the destruction of the universe cannot be stopped.

The most powerful force in the endless ages was enough to shatter several universes.

This can't go on.

"cough!"

After a prolonged battle, even the Queen Mother of the West had a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth.

She was anxious and said—

“Ming, the five paths of reincarnation have already exceeded the scale of the past, so perhaps we should…”

She wanted Chen Ming to escape. If there was still no hope this time, at least she wanted her beloved to escape. No matter the cost, she would ensure his safety.

However, Chen Ming suddenly widened his eyes, looked at the Queen Mother of the West, and said—

"What did you say? Five? Isn't it six paths of reincarnation?"

"what?"

With another palm strike, the Queen Mother of the West repelled the shadows that filled the sky. Her gaze pierced through the entangled branches of rules, and despite being invincible in the universe, she could only see five paths to destruction.

She seemed to have thought of something and asked the others—

"A few!"

boom--!

Amidst the holy light of redemption and destruction, the king of gods, leading the angels, surveyed the entire universe and the causal threads deep within the cycle of reincarnation with his omniscient and omnipotent eyes. He swallowed a mouthful of blood and spoke—

"five!"

"Five!"

"Five paths!"

"...Six Paths!"

Lucifer's answer was different. She was covered in sword marks, almost at her last gasp, and the immortal path beneath her feet was also on the verge of collapse.

His red eyes, however, were fixed on a completely still road, and his heart trembled.

……

P.S.: Hope and despair go hand in hand.

Chapter 1551 Wait for me... Don't leave me...

Chen Ming seemed to sense something as well, staring intently at the motionless road stretching outwards from the cycle of reincarnation, as if waiting for something... waiting for someone...

He was about to leave when the Queen Mother of the West gripped his hand tightly, staring at him with wide eyes, and said—

"Ming, no!"

In that moment of distraction, a beam of light tore through the universe and struck her, making her mouth taste sweet. Yet, she still clung tightly to Chen Ming, whom she held dear, and pleaded with him—

"Don't do anything dangerous, okay... Stay in my arms and don't go anywhere..."

His tone was almost pleading.

Seeing this, Chen Ming lowered his eyes slightly and said to her—

"Actually, I still don't quite understand. If you're so good to me because you believe in our future and our relationship, then you should believe now that we can move towards that future."

"me……"

The Queen Mother of the West couldn't argue with him. She was indeed conflicted. If she truly believed in a future with him, why was she trying to stop him now?

You should let go. If you don't let go, that future will never come...

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"You have obtained our future relationship in advance, but I have not, so it doesn't count. Therefore, let me go, Queen Mother of the West. Don't protect me like this, I am not your child."

Such protection is not needed.

Her hand trembled, her expression one of struggle, she bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes brimming with tears, but under his resolute gaze, she slowly released her grip.

"Ming...promise me you'll come back..."

Chen Ming nodded and said—

"Didn't I promise you that I would come back alive?"

I will never break my promise.

He leaped forward, and with a wave of his hand, a black flying sword caught him, propelling him through the shattered universe toward the seemingly waiting path.

The Queen Mother of the West watched his retreating figure, reluctantly reaching out her hand, but ultimately having to withdraw it.

"Ah... Ahhh!"

She roared to the sky, splitting the starry sea in two, and unleashed her pent-up emotions into several paths of destruction. Even Lucifer's path to immortality was affected, and she grabbed it with one hand, ready to forcibly sever it!

Lucifer quickly dodged, and the Queen Mother of the West sent her away, saying to her—

"Leave this place to me too. You can see the same things as Ming. Go to Ming's side quickly!"

"What!?"

Lucifer's eyes widened. Apart from the other two paths being blocked by the King God and Odin, the Queen Mother of the West actually had to handle the remaining three paths all by herself.

The Queen Mother of the West, her eyes bloodshot with rage, roared at Lucifer's hesitation—

"Quick! He needs you!"

Lucifer glanced at the collapsing universe, then at Chen Ming's back as he embarked on that path, and finally gritted his teeth, transforming into a streak of light to follow.

"I will bring him back! I swear I will bring him back!"

She made her promise to everyone and embarked on that unknown path.

Boom boom boom—!

The cycle of reincarnation is nearing its end. The shattered universe is gradually turning into a chaotic vortex, and everything will return to its origin, just like before...

……

"Cough, cough, cough..."

When she came to her senses, she found herself lying on a road, surrounded not by a shattered universe, but by nothingness.

That's right, just like when we met back then, I've come into the realm of reincarnation once again.

She staggered to her feet, clutching one arm, her clothes tattered and stained with blood. Her red eyes had long lost their usual composure, and her white hair was disheveled.

"I'm... Oh right, honey..."

She had rushed in after her husband, and when she looked up, she saw a familiar figure walking forward step by step without turning back.

"husband!"

She shouted excitedly, but Chen Ming seemed not to hear her and continued to walk slowly forward, which made Lucifer look stunned.

Even when she called out to him, he didn't turn around, something that had never happened before.

Watching his retreating figure as he walked away, Lucifer suddenly had a strong feeling that he was about to lose him completely, to lose his lover.

If we don't do anything more, if we just keep watching...

"Wait, wait for me...husband...wait for me..."

Dragging her badly injured body, she staggered as she tried to catch up with him, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't keep up. Even though he wasn't going very fast, the distance between them kept growing...

"Wait, wait..."

She reached out her hand with all her might, but it was as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them. No matter how powerful she was, she could not get close. Yet she refused to give up and finally stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Why...why didn't you wait for me...where are you going..."

Don't go where I can't reach you, don't leave me behind, don't... don't...

She clenched her fists tightly, and finally cried out—

"Chen Ming—! You bastard! Turn around right now!"

drop.

His glistening tears fell onto the road, making a soft sound. His body trembled slightly, and he finally stopped, as if waking from a dream.

"Huh? What's this...?"

He looked at his hands, then turned around and saw a disheveled figure lying not far behind him, tears and snot streaming down his face, with white hair and red eyes.

"Lucifer!? What's wrong with you?"

He quickly knelt down, picked her up, and said—

"Why are you crying..."

Besides, she looks awful crying... cough cough, never mind, I'd probably die if I said that.

Lucifer gritted her teeth, then suddenly pushed him away forcefully, landing on top of him. Her small fists rained down on him as she cried out—

"You blockhead! Blockhead! Blockhead! I've called you so many times and you still won't turn around!"

"Huh? No, stop hitting me! I was wrong, I was wrong, honey..."

Chen Ming winced in pain. Lucifer was truly angry and was really hitting him. This was a fist that could withstand the power of the Immortal Path. Chen Ming felt that he was already very fortunate not to have his soul scattered.

Lucifer was panting heavily, his chest heaving. Finally, he stopped, looked at his face, and gave him a deep kiss on the lips.

huh huh?

Chen Ming's eyes widened. How could Lucifer's wife, who was in such a terrible state, still have such interest?

Is this what they mean by strange physiological phenomena occurring when life is in danger?

Her unease and vulnerability were conveyed through her delicate touch, softening his gaze. He gently reached out and patted her back, and when she released her lips, he comforted her—
