Condemning the Heavens-Chapter 579: The Beauty of a Living World
Chapter 579: The Beauty of a Living World
Xue Wei could not help but feel respect for Lan. Lan had been waiting patiently for more than ten thousand years to reunite with the love of his life, but after finding her and realizing that she had forgotten their time together, he did not try to force her to accept him.
When Xue Wei looked into his eyes, he could see that Lan was genuinely just wishing for the well-being of Mo Lian. To him, the most important reason to search for her for so many years was to make sure she was able to live a good life, and if she decided not to include him in it, then he would just accept it.
Many might consider this kind of decision, to step back and let her decide on her own, as weak, but Xue Wei found that he admired such a personality very much.
Lan was able to ignore what others thought and to let the one he loved free. This was true love, as he did not try to force her to stay by his side, but respected her own choices. It was clear that he did not view Mo Lian as a trophy, but as a life partner. Such respect was rare for many male cultivators, but it resonated with Xue Wei's own feelings for Wang Xiaoyun, so he could not help but respect this deity.
Xue Wei glanced at the area, and after enjoying the lush scenery once more, he slowly settled down and began cultivating. Since Lan had told him that his comrades would appear here, he was not in a hurry to rush and find them.
Especially since the branch leader and Mo Lian were already cultivating, focusing deeply on changing from being ghosts into becoming spirits.
The adaptation was not slow, but it would still take time for the two of them to fully adjust to the great changes between this world and the Ghost Realm.
The sun was moving up in the sky, dragging a red trail behind it as it slowly sank into the horizon, dying the clouds in an ethereal luster.
It was this beautiful and serene sight that greeted Mo Lian as she opened her eyes. Her beauty was overwhelming, and the ruthlessness formed through endless years of killing slowly evaporated from her soul.
Although Mo Lian was known as a true powerhouse within the Ghost Realm, and while everyone knew that she would kill without caring, she was not a mindless murderer who executed others for fun.
For the ghosts within the Ghost Realm, murder and cannibalism were the only ways to survive.
Now that they had escaped from their nightmare, they soon found that the world of the living was beautiful. While it was equally dangerous, it brought a lethal danger to these ghosts, and they were seduced the instant they laid eyes on all those vibrant colors.
They could have stayed as kings within the Ghost Realm and reigned supreme for all years to come, but neither the branch leader, nor Mo Lian were willing to do so. For them, even if they would die after a few days of living in this realm, it would be worth it.
The living world contains a beauty unlike any other. Only by living in darkness can you understand how important color is to your life.
They had never witnessed such beauty before, and it had the ability to cleanse their souls and make them yearn for a world like this. They could feel that after their bodies and souls had adapted to this new world, they felt a strange connection to it. To them, this was where they now belonged.
Xue Wei was not witnessing their shining eyes as they woke up, but Lan could see all the emotions swirling deep within the pupils, and he felt grateful for never giving up.
Although he understood that this woman was no longer the one he had met, she was still the woman he loved, and he wished for her to become a powerhouse in her own right. His greatest wish would be for her to become powerful enough to roam the thousands of worlds alongside him, but if she did not wish to do so, then he would let go.
Fortunately, her current amazement was a great start for Lan. The various worlds were all different, and they had their own charming points that would be able to keep dazzling her with their beauty. If she wanted to look at all these stunning sceneries, he would bring her to see them all.
At this moment, when Mo Lian's eyes were shining and full of happiness, Lan had forgotten about the mastermind hidden in the shadows. He had forgotten about the person who was pressing down on both himself and Xue Wei, and even succeeded in scheming against them.
Although this man was dangerous and a great threat, this moment was pure and full of gratitude and joy. It was impossible for Lan to spoil such a wonderful moment by worrying about something he could still not affect in the current situation.
The tranquil atmosphere was not broken before the sun had completely vanished from the horizon, and the moon had started to shine its soft and gentle light on the ground.
The changes in day and night were truly marvelous and Mo Lian began to ask many things that could be considered as trivial knowledge, but to her, it was all new and exciting.
The branch leader was listening in on the many explanations given by Lan, and he had to admire the deity's ability and patience to coax his lover.
No matter what question Mo Lian asked, Lan would explain it in the most detailed manner, and he would not stop before he was sure that she understood everything.
