"This truly is a great karmic consequence..."
Old Heavenly Master Ge Chuan slowly descended to the ground after sealing off the area and blocking all prying eyes. He gazed at the place where the Ghost Bride had dissipated, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes as if reminiscing and mourning sothing.
"Heavenly Master Ge Chuan..." Blind Zhang spoke up, a glimr of hope rising in his heart.
"If he could be saved, how would this humble Taoist not act—" Old Taoist Ge Chuan gently shook his head.
No one knew exactly how that Ghost Bride had managed to keep this child alive—
Now, there was nowhere to find out.
Looking at the male infant before him who kept crying incessantly, gasping for breath, Ge Chuan lightly recited a sleep spell and touched the baby's forehead, causing Zhang Daotian to stop crying and fall into deep slumber.
If he continued crying like this, he would cry himself into oxygen deprivation.
"The myriad things of this world remain unfathomable. It seems this humble Taoist's cultivation is still insufficient..."
Ge Chuan sighed with his hands behind his back, then his sharp eyes noticed a red thread tightly clutched in the male infant's hand.
"Poor my good disciple, born with spiritual awareness—he must have known. Probably in the future he'll only have this one nto to look upon..."
He reached out to take the red thread, then with a flip of his fingers, wove it into a red cord that he gently tied around the male infant's wrist.
"However, who can predict what will happen in the future?" The Old Heavenly Master looked up at the endless sky, his eyes shimring as the vast, boundless heavens seed to conceal countless secrets.
A sharp, blade-like aura flashed across Ge Chuan's body for a mont before he returned to his usual unserious deanor.
Rolling up his Taoist robe sleeves and adjusting his headpiece, he struck a martial arts pose as he looked toward where the Deathly Secret Realm had previously appeared.
"That thing is difficult to deal with, so better not deal with it at all. Just seal it forever—effective and ti-saving!..."
As if trying to lighten the heavy atmosphere, Ge Chuan patted Blind Zhang's shoulder, attempting to brush everything off lightly.
Blind Zhang held the sleeping male infant, standing quietly in place without speaking.
His gaze eventually fell on the red cord around the male infant's wrist. That faint, shimring red stung Blind Zhang's half-blind eyes, and would accompany Zhang Daotian throughout his entire life.

Figures shrouded in blue robes appeared outside the Yin Soldiers' Paradise, their faces unclear.
This paradise filled with overwhelming resentnt was suppressed once again.
"Finally dealt with it. The sins committed before always end up with us cleaning up the ss. The dead should just stay put properly..."
"A bunch of foolish foxes, can't even handle such a small matter properly..."
"Let's go, return to report—"

"Everyone, this is my hotown..."
"I believe promoting the elimination of superstition is very important. In this new era, each of us must stride toward new developnt..."
The doll-faced girl pushed up her glasses and spoke earnestly. Cara flashes flickered before her, with no one knowing that she was gripping the remnant page of the Yin Ghost Seal Book in her pocket even tighter.

【I need to rest, imdiately, right now!!!——】
【Don't worry! Host, you rest assured! Headquarters has our back!! We saved the world this ti! We're definitely getting big rewards!——】
【Okay...】 Xiao Gui'an stopped speaking, his soul utterly exhausted as he directly fell into dormancy. The Zero System enveloped his spirit body and the little 'Scavenger' as they traveled through the world channel opened by headquarters.
The already shattered Jade Soul Ice Essence was placed back into the light sphere's body by Zero. In the world channel, the little light sphere's aura beca calm as it sent out ssage after ssage.
【I will submit all relevant reports, headquarters doesn't need to investigate my host anymore.
I hope headquarters will consider my suggestion. If you don't want to lose interrogation-type systems, feel free to co—I don't mind formatting a few more. My host is very tired, he needs rest——】
【No. 0 acting as the main System applies here to unlock more advanced permissions...】
【Ghost Bride body completely recovered——】
【World trajectory evolution being asured, will upload in five hours, forty-two minutes and fifty seconds...】
【Jade Soul Ice Essence shattered——】
【Request to interrogate relevant 'world thieves', select punishnt creed number 017...】
During the last ten days in the Yellow Sand Secret Realm, Xiao Gui'an sacrificed his own flesh and blood to obtain edible 'grains' for the Little Heavenly Master.
At first, because of the Jade Soul Ice Essence's presence, the flesh and blood Xiao Gui'an lost could slowly regenerate. But the further it went, the stronger this secret realm's suppression of the Jade Soul Ice Essence beca, slowing down the flesh regeneration speed.
Plus, Xiao Gui'an had to swallow yellow sand to suppress the 'Hunger Sensation', which further impacted the Jade Soul Ice Essence.
It was like a vicious cycle, yet he had no choice but to continue.
Until finally, the Jade Soul Ice Essence was on the verge of shattering, and the Ghost Bride's shell had no more flesh and blood to sacrifice.
The mont the Old Heavenly Master broke open the secret realm, Xiao Gui'an mustered his last bit of energy to rush outward. The mont he stepped out of the secret realm, the Jade Soul Ice Essence he held in his mouth shattered with a crisp sound.
And the System finally contacted headquarters.
His consciousness continuously blurred, Xiao Gui'an's mind could hardly think of anything else. He could only follow instinct and hand the Chosen One of Fate to Blind Zhang.
When the other approached, he subconsciously recoiled. He didn't have the energy to respond further—why create additional attachnts.
"Answering...the call...to return..."
Faintly, he seed to hear the Little Heavenly Master's crying. Xiao Gui'an felt sowhat apologetic.
Such thoughts erged from his chaotic mind—fortunately, the Chosen One of Fate was still an infant who wouldn't rember anything. Probably just hungry again...
The Old Heavenly Master and Blind Zhang would surely take good care of the Little Heavenly Master. His mission was finally over—
Goodbye, Little Heavenly Master—
———————————————
【Host! Host? Wake up, wake up! Corpses don't need sleep! You've been lying down long enough!! This isn't how you skip work!!】
The little light sphere had regained its usual energy, chattering incessantly.
The handso, jade-like man on the bed seed to be awakened by the noise. He gently turned over, then slowly sat up.
Fine black hair fell softly over his shoulders as 【Writer】 slowly opened his eyes, a chilling light in his gaze that greatly differed from his usual gentle, casual deanor. "Shut up, System—"
The voice imdiately disappeared.
The little light sphere seed sowhat intimidated by Xiao Gui'an when he played the 【Writer】 role.
【Writer】 lay back down on the bed, pulling the covers over his head.
Watching him quiet down, the little light sphere floated closer hesitantly, then whispered like a demon's murmur, 【The Cursed Child is only two hours' drive away from 『Gui Yi』——】
!!!
Xiao Gui'an imdiately threw off the covers and jumped up——
