Chapter 1747: The Anomaly Descends
After a long while, Jialan slowly loosened her grip, her cheeks flushed crimson.
"I... I just... not... ah!"
She looked at Lin Qiye in front of her, only then realizing what she had just done. She stammered for half a day, unable to form a single coherent sentence. Finally, she simply lowered her head and avoided Lin Qiye's gaze.
Just then, Lin Qiye gently took Jialan's hands in his. She startled, looking up.
Lin Qiye was gazing at her, his eyes holding an unprecedented seriousness:
"Jialan, marry me."
These words echoed in Jialan's mind, and her body trembled slightly.
During the two thousand years sealed in the coffin, all around her was only the cold coffin walls. Had it not been for the promise they made back then, she would have long since been unable to hold on.
She had countless times reminisced about that year of wandering with Lin Qiye, countless times imagined what kind of future they would face after the coffin was opened... But what she had dreamed of most was the scene of Lin Qiye proposing to her.
And now, this moment appeared before her... in a place she never anticipated, in a way she never expected.
Jialan was about to say yes, but it occurred to her that doing so might make her seem too easy. She pretended to deliberate, her elegant brows slightly furrowing as she recalled all the saddest moments of her life to barely suppress the smile tugging at her lips.
Seeing Jialan actually hesitating, Lin Qiye felt somewhat at a loss... And looking at her expression, it seemed she wasn't thinking about whether to accept, but rather how to save the universe.
A moment later, Jialan's brow smoothed.
"Fine! Then I'll accept!"
Seeing the smug, triumphant smile on Jialan's face, Lin Qiye couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.
"When can we get married?" Jialan asked eagerly.
"Once this turmoil is settled. The moment we land, I'll prepare the wedding."
"Will it be lively?"
"Of course." Lin Qiye pointed into the distance. "Let the Sword Saint Elder serve as matchmaker, the Gods of Great Xia as witnesses, invite all the Night Watch to the banquet, and ask the Queen Mother of the West for hundreds of Heavenly Peaches... How's that for lively?"
"Hundreds of Heavenly Peaches? Would Her Majesty actually give them?"
"Times have changed. If she won't give them, I'll go with Monkey Brother to take them... I mean, to respectfully request them."
Pfft—
Jialan couldn't help but laugh.
"Then it's a promise. No backing out."
Lin Qiye thought for a moment, then hooked his finger in the void. A piece of stellar core fell into his palm, visibly melting and reforming until it became a deep crimson ring.
At the same time, a thread of causality connecting him and Jialan, manipulated by the power of 【Causeless Cause】, wound around the ring, transforming into rings of white patterns—elegant and mysterious.
"A proposal requires a ring, naturally." Lin Qiye slowly slipped this deep crimson ring onto Jialan's finger, saying softly,
"You always worry that I won't keep my word, don't you? This ring bears the causality between you and me. Once you put it on, it becomes part of the 【Eternal】... and represents the unchanging oath between us."
Jialan gently raised her hand. Gazing at the ring gleaming with mysterious luster in the deep void, she was momentarily entranced.
"Alright! I'll keep it!" Jialan收起她的手，眼中满是欣喜。
"Jialan's eyes sparkled with joy as she tucked her hand away.
"Does Wu "Old Dog" need help? Gongyang Wan and the Fate Monk are about to finish off the enemy..." Lin Qiye's gaze swept across the battlefield.
"Let's go help the Great Xia deity." Jialan's expression shifted to determination.
"Win early, go home early for the wedding, have kids early!"
Jialan pumped her fist, battle spirit blazing, and shot toward the distant battlefield!
...
In the chaotic divine battlefield, a massive demonic ape gripped the Ruyi Jingu Bang and slammed it down into empty space!
Under those burning Fire-Eye Golden Vision, an invisible giant wolf materialized, its ferocious fangs tearing a crack in space as it bit down死死地咬住那根巨大的金箍棒，一道道裂纹自金箍棒表面蔓延！
"Yang Jian！"
Sun Wukong roared. Instantly, a three-pronged double-edged blade crackling with lightning hacked into the wolf's body, leaving a shallow wound.
Sun Wukong seized the chance to retract his Ruyi Jingu Bang. Glancing at the several cracks on its surface, he winced心疼。
"This guy is strong. Be careful." Yang Jian, clad in silver armor, landed beside Sun Wukong and spoke solemnly.
Whoosh—!!
A golden streak of light swept across the sky, closing in on the invisible giant wolf from above. The radiance of the 【Mortal Divine Realm】 enveloped the battlefield as a six-winged seraph clutched a massive sword and swept down in a roaring slash!
Lin Qiye and Jialan arrived at the battlefield in close pursuit, flanking the giant wolf from left and right, cutting off its retreat. Sun Wukong caught sight of them, his eyes brightening.
"I told you that kid wouldn't die so easily."
"A seraph?" Yang Jian gazed at the six-winged avatar, seeming somewhat surprised.
"Michael is dead, so naturally he inherited the seraph's divine law. Besides, haven't you noticed? His aura is different from before." Sun Wukong's Fire-Eye Golden Vision fixed on Lin Qiye, a slight smile curling his lips. "It seems he's already walked further than us."
Yang Jian's gaze landed on the ring on Jialan's finger. He paused.
"Brother, you're getting married?" He transmitted to Lin Qiye privately.
"Yeah." Lin Qiye smiled. "When it's over, remember to come to the wedding."
Upon hearing this, a gleam of joy appeared in Yang Jian's eyes. As he worked with the others to corner the invisible giant wolf, he thought to himself:
Mom... Did you see that? Seventh Night Brother is starting a family.
With the five-way encirclement, the invisible giant wolf's maneuvering space shrunk smaller and smaller. Its fierce eyes scanned the crowd, and it retreated cautiously... Even so, the golden sword light that pierced through the deep void continued leaving wound after wound upon it.
It let out a roar at the seraph Lin Qiye in the sky, and the surrounding space-time twisted violently.
It was Mth aquischa, the being that had once challenged the 【Key to the Gate】. Among the十余位Cthulhu Faction deities who had descended, its combat power absolutely ranked near the top, and its pride was the greatest. To be forced into such a predicament by a swarm of insignificant beings—its fury had been thoroughly ignited.
Just as it was about to fight desperately, it suddenly seemed to sense something and猛地抬头看向上空，凶悍的眼眸中竟然流露出一丝惧意。
It abruptly looked up, and a hint of fear actually appeared in its fierce eyes!
At that moment, a mysterious and grand aura descended without warning!
The灵胎Lin Qiye, who had been专心操控分身, looked up to see a rotating temporal vortex rapidly forming above this deep-space battlefield. A familiar aura surged forth from within...
The moment he perceived this aura, Lin Qiye's expression shifted dramatically.
"【Key to the Gate】?!"
