Two years had passed since that earth-shattering battle. The Central Plains gradually regained its prosperity, with nurous sects and factions sprouting up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
As the primary culprit of the war, the Soul Clan naturally received severe punishnt. After that great battle, almost all the Soul Clan's powerful experts had perished, leaving only so younger clan mbers. Xiao Han unceremoniously stripped away the Soul Clan's Dou God bloodline and then exiled them from the Central Plains, forbidding their return for a thousand years. The reason for not completely eradicating the Soul Clan was that, regardless of everything, Hun Jin had co from the Soul Clan.
The Xiao Family, due to their Dou God bloodline, returned to the Central Plains. Although they were newcors settling in the Central Plains, thanks to their connection with Xiao Han, they surprisingly rejoined the ranks of the Ancient Clans. However, after experiencing such a massive change in the family's fortunes, the Xiao Family mbers were no longer impetuous. Each was careful and prudent in their conduct, and they didn't beco arrogant or conceited due to their change in status. As long as future generations didn't cause trouble, the Xiao Family should be able to maintain their glory perpetually.
After the war ended, Xiao Han dissolved the Alliance, and everyone returned to their own lives, doing what they were ant to do.
Xiao Han proposed to Gu Xun'er, and they held a grand wedding in the Ancient Clan. Experts, both acquainted and unacquainted, ca to attend this unprecedented grand wedding, witnessing the union of these two perfect matches. This wedding was passed down by word of mouth, becoming an eternal legend.

As seasons changed, years passed in the blink of an eye.
Flower Sect.
A young woman dressed in a light pink robe sat nervously in the great hall, looking at the woman in plain robes not far away, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.
"From now on, the Flower Sect will be entrusted to you," Yun Yun, seated at the head, said with a faint smile, looking at the extrely nervous young woman.
The young woman's face showed a tearful expression: "Sect Master, I don't think I'm ready. Can't you... can't you wait another two years?"
Yun Yun's smile was gentle but carried an indisputable tone: "Yue Yan, your strength and leadership abilities are among the best of your peer disciples. Moreover, I believe you already possess the capability to beco the Sect Master."
Hua Yue Yan felt like crying but had no tears.
In recent years, Yun Yun hadn't taken on any new disciples. She had only chosen a disciple with excellent aptitude from among the Flower Sect disciples, appointing her as the Young Sect Master, seemingly intending for this disciple to inherit her mantle.
When initially chosen by Yun Yun, Hua Yue Yan had been very excited and extrely happy, thinking that the Sect Master had chosen a Young Sect Master so early because she was truly exceptional.
It wasn't until later that she discovered the real reason the Sect Master wanted to choose and cultivate a Young Sect Master so early was that she wanted to step down and travel the world with the person she liked.
Hua Yue Yan: Suddenly lost all motivation.
Yun Yun very kindly stated that if Hua Yue Yan encountered any significant problems, she could use the Flower Sect's special thods to contact her. However, it would be best not to casually call her back unless it was sothing really important.
After encouraging Hua Yue Yan a few more tis, Yun Yun smiled and took her leave, leaving Hua Yue Yan alone in the great hall, trembling, feeling like an abandoned little pitiful creature.
Yun Yun walked straight out of the Flower Sect without alerting anyone. As soon as she left, she saw dusa leaning against a tree, looking as boneless as ever, lazy and scattered.
dusa gave her a lazy glance, sneering as if mocking: "What? Finally willing to let go of official duties? This King thought you'd spend your whole life buried in work."
Though these words were ant to be sarcastic, dusa had managed to deliver them with a tone of complaint and coquettishness, although the Queen herself hadn't noticed.
Yun Yun smiled gently, reaching out to hold dusa's hand, saying softly: "From now on, I'll listen to you."
dusa laughed proudly: "It should have been like this long ago. What's so good about these sects and factions that could make you bury yourself in work every day?"
Looking at the ever-proud and radiant dusa, Yun Yun's gaze grew increasingly tender.
"Yes, it should have been like this long ago."

Jia Ma Empire, Qingshan Town.
Today's Qingshan Town was undoubtedly much more prosperous than in the past, not only because it was easier to enter the Magic Beast Forest from here but also because of a dical clinic in town.
The clinic wasn't large, but even if you had only one breath left, as long as you entered this clinic, you could co out alive and kicking. This place was also the most revered spot in all of Qingshan Town.
The open space in front of the clinic was always crowded with people from various places year-round. So were injured rcenaries, so were wounded who had rushed here from other places, and so were doctors who had co to exchange dical knowledge.
However, there was an iron-clad rule here: regardless of how noble your status or how powerful your strength, here, you could only take a number and wait in line.
Of course, this sowhat arrogant rule naturally drew quite a few cold smirks and disdain at first. However, when a Dou Emperor expert who violated the rules began to inexplicably lt in front of everyone, people finally understood what terrifying thods this girl in a white dress, who looked kind and pure, possessed.
Since then, no one dared to treat the rules here as nothing.
In the center of the clinic was a simple and clean wooden table. Behind that wooden table sat a girl in a white dress, quietly.
"Go ho and decoct the dicine into a liquid, then apply it to the wound, and it will heal," the white-robed woman said with a gentle smile, lightly placing the dicine package on the table. Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making her look pure and enchanting.
The injured person took the dicine package and left in a daze, their mind filled with that gentle smile.
Seeing the previous patient leave, the people queuing behind imdiately rejoiced. However, just as one was about to step forward, a figure suddenly flashed from behind, taking a seat in the chair first.
"Are you seeking death!"
Seeing soone cut in line, everyone was stunned for a mont, then beca furious. They looked at the figure with killing intent. Did this person have a death wish, daring to cause trouble here?
Just as everyone thought this woman who suddenly cut in line was going to be in trouble, Xiao Yi Xian, who always stressed the importance of rules, unexpectedly showed a helpless smile and asked, "What's wrong?"
The woman who had cut in line sat with her legs crossed like a rascal and said, "Doctor, my chest hurts. Can you take a look?"
Xiao Yi Xian looked at her, smiling indulgently, allowing her to act up: "Why does your chest suddenly hurt?"
The woman sighed, putting on an act: "My wife is always busy with her own things, not coming ho every day. Of course my chest hurts."
Hearing the conversation between the two, the people waiting behind to see her in trouble were all dumbfounded, unable to react.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian laughed and shook her head: "Alright, Yanran, it's my fault. I'll go back with you after I finish my work today."
"No need to trouble yourself," Nalan Yanran propped her face, the corner of her lips curling into a mischievous smile, and said, "I see all sorts of people here, it's probably not very safe. So, I wonder if Sister Xiao Yi Xian needs a bodyguard? If you do, consider ? I don't need money, just food, lodging, and... sleeping arrangents."
"Oh?" A glint of interest flashed in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes as she said, "The esteed Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect is willing to lower herself to be a bodyguard for a small doctor like ?"
Nalan Yanran suddenly reached out and pressed her hand on Xiao Yi Xian's hand resting on the table. Her expression beca much more serious as she said, "Of course, for you, anything is possible."
Struck by this sudden direct approach, even though they had been together for many years, Xiao Yi Xian still suddenly blushed.
Then, ignoring all the shocked gazes, Xiao Yi Xian raised her hand to gently tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and then softly responded.
"Mm."

Imperial Capital, Miteer Auction House.
Under the crystal do hundreds of feet high, the seats were filled with guests. The high enthusiasm maintained the auction's atmosphere at its peak. Of course, the reason for such a lively atmosphere wasn't solely due to the auctioned items; it also had a lot to do with a certain person.
It was a voluptuous woman dressed in a red cheongsam. The form-fitting dress accentuated her full, mature curves perfectly. Every smile and frown exuded endless mature charm.
Of course, although many of those present had so thoughts about the alluring beauty on stage, they also understood that this woman was by no ans just a pretty face. The reason Miteer could be so powerful in the Northwest region was largely due to her economic skills. Her businesses spread across the entire Dou Qi Continent, and her intelligence network was not to be underestimated. Nothing could escape her eyes.
Although this woman's cultivation talent wasn't very strong, only reaching the Dou Emperor level relying on dicinal pills, under her command were many Dou Ancestor and Dou Venerate level experts who would follow her orders without question.
On the auction stage, Yafei looked with a slightly lazy smile at those who had spent several tis the value to acquire the auctioned items. She couldn't help but shake her head with a light laugh. Then, she took out an ancient-looking scroll from her storage ring. Her sultry voice, filled with endless charm, announced:
"Heaven-rank low-grade technique, Lightning Movent Technique, starting bid thirty billion..."
Her words imdiately caused a stir in the auction hall, with many gazes suddenly focusing on her.
"Thirty-one billion!"
"I bid forty billion!"
"How embarrassing, I bid sixty billion!"
Yafei coldly watched the people below scrambling to outbid each other, but her thoughts had long since flown elsewhere.
I wonder if little Qing Lin has been obedient and eaten well.
The Hundred Delicacies Tower has co out with a new pastry, said to taste very good. After the auction ends, I'll go buy so to bring back for that child.

Central Plains, Ancient Clan.
"Are you leaving?" Gu Yuan looked at the perfect couple before him, asking with considerable reluctance.
Xiao Han glanced at the spatial transmission gate behind her and said flatly, "After reaching Dou God, one must leave this place and travel to other worlds to continue growing."
Gu Yuan sighed and looked at his daughter, asking again, "Will you co back in the future?"
Gu Xun'er's expression also showed so reluctance. She nodded heavily and said, "We will, Father. Senior Sister and I will definitely co back."
Gu Yuan suddenly smiled with acceptance and said, "Children grow up, and naturally need to go out and make their own way. However, you must be careful and not act recklessly."
After talking for a while longer, Xiao Han and Gu Xun'er left. Gu Yuan watched their figures disappear into the spatial vortex, then stood there for a long ti before finally sighing and turning to leave.
Plane Traversing.
A beam of light flashed by, and within that rainbow light, two figures flickered in and out of view. Xiao Han held Gu Xun'er's hand as they continuously moved forward in one direction.
"Is this the world outside the planes?" Gu Xun'er looked around with interest at the points of light surrounding them. From Xiao Han's introduction, she knew that each of these light points represented an independent world.
Xiao Han nodded. Just then, she suddenly sensed a faint, familiar aura coming from a certain place not far away. She imdiately stopped, looking with so surprise towards where the aura was coming from.
Gu Xun'er stopped along with Xiao Han's movent. She blinked and followed Xiao Han's gaze, only to see five people who had appeared not far away at so point.
These five consisted of one man and four won, including a little girl who appeared to be only two or three years old. She was being held by a cold-looking woman in white robes. Another woman followed behind the woman in white; she had white hair and silver eyes, looking as pure and transparent as an elf.
That familiar aura was emanating from the woman in white and the child she was holding.
The people on that side also saw Xiao Han and her group. The man in the lead gave a slight bow to Xiao Han, but his face showed no expression. Xiao Han nodded in response, but her gaze remained fixed on the pair that seed to be mother and daughter.
She saw the child seemingly say sothing to the woman, who imdiately paused and gave her an appraising look.
They didn't linger long. After silently exchanging greetings, the group disappeared.
"Senior Sister?" Seeing that Xiao Han seed to still be in a daze, Gu Xun'er couldn't help but call out.
When Xiao Han ca back to her senses, Gu Xun'er continued to ask, "Was there sothing wrong with that group just now?"
Xiao Han pressed her lips together slightly, her gaze softening only when she looked at Gu Xun'er. She said, "The woman in white and the child just now had my sister's aura."
"Sister?" Gu Xun'er was stunned. After they got married, Xiao Han had told her everything. "You an... was your sister among that group?"
"No." This was also the reason for Xiao Han's sudden bad mood. "That child... should be my sister's child. The woman holding her hand should be the child's other blood relative. It's just unknown..."
It was just unknown what had happened to Heaven's Mandate, why she hadn't left with her family to go to another world.
"Never mind," Xiao Han said after a while. "Let's go. When we reach that world, we'll know."
Gu Xun'er nodded, affectionately using her finger to gently stroke Xiao Han's palm, wanting to cheer her up.
Feeling Gu Xun'er's small gesture, Xiao Han smiled slightly and said softly, "I'm sorry for worrying you. Let's go."
Gu Xun'er smiled gently and said, "Alright."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then flew off towards their predetermined destination.
