Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 318

They had only retreated a kilometer when the stone statue exploded with a loud "boom," sending stone fragments flying and shattering the surrounding kilometer area into a mess.

"How terrifying! If we hadn't evacuated, there would have been casualties! Fellow Daoist Gu, thank you for the reminder!"

"Yes! Such an explosion is no less than a Nascent Soul self-destruction; the destructive power is too great." Everyone clutched their chests, still shaken.

"Sister, will Xie Ziming be alright?" Shi Qinghan looked towards the billowing smoke and dust.

"Probably not, after all, that stone statue is himself!" Gu Shihan frowned.

"Shi Han, look!" Wen Xin stared at the smoke and dust and saw a person dressed in a silver robe slowly rising from the smoke and dust, with a calm expression and eyes that swept over the crowd without joy or sorrow.

"Junior sister! What does he mean by this? Why do I feel like he doesn't recognize us anymore?" Mo Yu asked curiously.

Gu Shihan's heart tightened as she carefully observed the silver-robed man. She noticed that he exuded a mysterious and powerful aura, completely different from Xie Zimo she had seen before.

The man in silver robes looked at Gu Shihan and calmly said, "You have completed your mission. Evil has been eliminated, and the Immortal Realm will return to peace."

The voice was ethereal and detached, as if it came from the distant heavens. The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what he meant.

"Are you... really Xie Zimo?" Gu Shihan asked tentatively.

The man in silver robes nodded slightly and then shook his head, his clear, cold voice ringing in everyone's ears: "I am Emperor Moro. Xie Zimo was merely a memory from my tribulation. Now that the tribulation is over, I have returned. There is no more Xie Zimo in this world, only I, Moro."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, and a beam of light enveloped everyone. Everyone felt refreshed and the fatigue from the previous battle was swept away.

"From now on, I will protect the Immortal Realm. You should all return to your respective places, cultivate diligently, and perhaps we will meet again in the future." After saying this, the man in silver robes transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

"Hey! No, sister, he just left like that?" Shi Qinghan asked, puzzled.

Xingbai walked over and said, "Brother Shi, he is the Moro Ancestor, not Xie Zimo. It's good enough that he can remember the names of those who descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations. The others are not within his memory."

"Is this how it is? Shi Han is his savior! And he doesn't even show any appreciation?" Situ Tinglang looked up at the sky and said with dissatisfaction.

"Alright! His return is the reward. See, the Immortal Realm can be preserved now, right? We can cultivate in peace again, can't we? Ancestor Moluo is a god-like being. Gods should not have emotions or desires, only what they should and should not do, only their duties!" Gu Nansheng said with a smile.

“Hmm, what you said makes sense, Junior Sister. We little shrimps should just focus on the present. Junior Sister, what are we going to do next?” Mo Yu asked thoughtfully.

"What's next? I..." Gu Shihan hadn't finished speaking when she heard a few crisp clicks inside her body, and the task panel appeared in front of her.

A voice echoed in my mind: "Host, your mission is basically complete. However, the Moonlit Space has grown into a small realm. It needs to be separated and become its own valley, a paradise in the immortal realm. Remember, remember, you must separate it within a hundred years, otherwise you will become the spirit of the Moonlit Space and disappear forever."

"Junior sister, what's wrong?" Mo Yu asked with concern.

Shi Qinghan and the others also sensed Gu Shihan's unusual behavior and gathered around, their concern clearly written on their faces.

Gu Shihan steadied herself and said with a smile, "I have completed most of my mission. Senior brother, elder brother, Siqi, let's say goodbye now!" "Alright!" Mo Yu looked at everyone and said, "Fellow Daoists, I have gotten along very well with you all during this time."

Now that the immortal realm has settled down, my brothers and I want to find a place to rest and recuperate for a while. We won't be able to accompany you on your adventures any longer. Until we meet again!

"Chief Gu, and a few others, we'll meet again someday!"

After everyone said their goodbyes and left, Gu Shihan and the other nine gathered together. Shi Qinghan asked, "Little sister, has something happened?"

"Big brother, nothing can be hidden from you. My mission is complete, but the Moonlight Space is about to be lost!" Gu Shihan said calmly.

"What? Such a treasure is going to be lost, Shi Han, is there any way to protect it?" Duan Siqi asked in surprise.

“No, I must find a place to separate it and leave it within a hundred years, otherwise I will disappear and merge into the Moonlight Space, becoming its artifact spirit,” Gu Shihan said with a frown.

"Such a thing has happened? What should we do?" Wenxin asked anxiously.

"Junior sister, do you mean that Moonflower Space is going to become part of the Immortal Realm?" Mo Yu asked, frowning.

"You could say that, senior brother, elder brother. We still have a hundred years left. Let's find a good place for the Moonflower Space, and perhaps we can even move some species into it."

“That’s the only way. But what about Xingbai if the Moonlight Space has to be separated? I think I heard you say that he is the spirit of the Moonlight Space…” Shi Qinghan frowned.

Gu Shihan looked at Xingbai, who remained calm. "Master, I can leave the Moonlight Space. I can also help find a suitable place during these hundred years."

Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat relieved. Along the way, they pondered where to place the Moonlight Space.

That day, the group arrived at a sea area. Duan Siqi looked at the vast sea and said, "Shi Han, if we must give the Moonlight Space a place, I feel that it can be placed on an island."

I've heard that countless hidden immortal islands lie in this sea area, rich in resources, and far removed from the strife-ridden immortal realms. The Moonlit Space would have time to grow there. What do you think?

"Yes, that's a good idea. We can have some peace and quiet and reflect on things," Shi Qinghan nodded.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense, Senior Brother. What do you think? Should we go and bring Master and the others over? Moonflower Space will definitely be an excellent place for cultivation in the future."

“Alright, let’s go pick them up. But I don’t know how much time this will take. Will it affect your ability to separate the Moon Essence Space, Junior Sister?” Mo Yu asked.

Gu Shihan pondered for a moment and said, "Senior brother, how about we split into two groups? I'll take Siqi and Wenxin to find a suitable place in the sea, while you go find Master and the others, okay?"

“Okay, but this sea doesn’t look very peaceful, so you have to be careful!” Mo Yu nodded.

Shi Qinghan looked at Gu Shihan and said, "A hundred years is still plenty of time. Sister, don't rush into action. Without hesitation, let's leave now to pick up Master and the others."

Everyone agreed, and the two groups parted ways, one searching for islands in the sea, and the other going down to the lower realm to find people.

When Mo Yu and his companions returned to the lower realm, they found that many places had been destroyed due to the war. Although powerful figures had intervened to restore them, many landscapes and areas had been altered.
