286: Chapter 286 Sooner or Later
In this world, besides the Human Realm, there are other realms.
The gods love all mortals, but he also loves Ye Qingqing alone.
He couldn't let go of the world he loved, nor could he let go of Ye Qingqing.
Yun Chi slowly walked towards Ye Qingqing, step by step.
As his hand reached out to touch the halo, the halo disappeared.
Ye Qingqing was suddenly pulled into his embrace.
Although Ye Qingqing didn't know what happened between him and the Heavenly Dao.
But Ye Qingqing could feel it; in that short period of time, the feeling from Yun Chi had changed.
Ye Qingqing couldn't describe the feeling, but she could sense sorrow from Yun Chi.
"You... what happened to you?" Ye Qingqing, embraced by Yun Chi, couldn't help but ask.
But Yun Chi said nothing.
He didn't know what to say, nor how to explain it to Ye Qingqing.
It was laughable, really; he, a mighty Golden Dragon, had now fallen to a point where he didn't know how to explain things to Ye Qingqing.
After a long while, a hoarse voice finally sounded from above Ye Qingqing's head: "It's nothing, Qingqing, do you trust me?"
Ye Qingqing looked up in confusion, her wet eyes full of worry as she looked at Yun Chi: "Of course I trust you."
"No matter what you do or say, I will trust you and support you."
Yun Chi couldn't help but smile upon hearing Ye Qingqing's words.
"Good, with your words, I am relieved."
Although Ye Qingqing had countless doubts in her heart, when she looked at Yun Chi, she felt all those doubts in her mind disappear.
She only needed to know that she had Yun Chi, that she was with Yun Chi now, and that was enough.
As for anything else, Ye Qingqing couldn't think too much about it.
Yun Chi looked deeply at Ye Qingqing, finally leaving her with one sentence: "Wait for me."
Ye Qingqing watched Yun Chi transform into a Golden Dragon and instantly disappear into the sky.
At this moment, Ye Qingqing was in the sky.
She couldn't go down, nor could she go up.
She was floating in the clouds.
Fortunately, Yun Chi had considered this.
He left Ye Qingqing a portable space.
"Qingqing, stay here for this period. There's everything in this space. I'll have Xiao Guang and Xiao Hu come up to keep you company. Don't worry, I've got everything covered, and also, wait for me."
So, Ye Qingqing waited on the clouds every day.
When she was tired, she would enter the space to rest.
However, Ye Qingqing always had a bad premonition.
She didn't know how long she had waited.
It could have been eons, or merely a fleeting moment.
One day, Ye Qingqing suddenly felt that her body wasn't as nimble as it had been yesterday.
At this point, Ye Qingqing suddenly realized that she seemed to have aged.
And Ah Huang, like Ye Qingqing, lay on the clouds every day, motionless, sleeping all day long.
As if it could never get enough sleep.
But even so, Yun Chi still hadn't returned.
But Ye Qingqing believed that she would definitely, definitely be able to wait for Yun Chi to return.
So she continued to wait.
Until one day, as Ye Qingqing was sleeping on the clouds, she suddenly felt a shadow fall across her face.
A familiar scent immediately wafted into Ye Qingqing's nostrils.
Ye Qingqing immediately opened her eyes.
Looking at the person she had longed for for so long, Ye Qingqing's lips curved into a knowing smile.
Yun Chi didn't hesitate; the moment Ye Qingqing opened her eyes, he immediately pulled the person in his arms into a tight embrace.
The force was so great it was as if he wanted to knead Ye Qingqing into his very bones and blood.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Qingqing could no longer control herself and burst into tears in Huo Sixian's arms.
Ye Qingqing didn't know that during this time, Yun Chi, in order to mend the mistakes he had made, went to the stone connecting the will of heaven and earth to confess.
Every day, he pleaded with the will of heaven and earth to let him atone for the mistakes made in the Human Realm.
The will of heaven and earth initially ignored Yun Chi.
But later, it was gradually moved by Yun Chi's sincerity.
So, it gave Yun Chi a method for time reversal.
However, this method was extremely cruel.
After saving the Human Realm, completing the time reversal, and returning to the time before his great battle with the Heavenly Dao.
Yun Chi had very little divine power left.
But Ye Qingqing didn't know any of this.
Staying on the clouds, she did not participate in this work of time reversal for the Human Realm.
Her only task every day was to wait for Yun Chi.
But when she saw Yun Chi after he returned.
For some reason, her heart felt heavy, and she could also feel that Yun Chi was injured.
Although there was no visible external injury, Ye Qingqing knew that Yun Chi was definitely injured, and it was not a minor injury.
"Yun Chi, tell me, what happened to you?"
"Yun Chi..."
At this moment, Yun Chi had already exhausted all his strength just to return to Ye Qingqing's side.
The disappearance of a god's divine power is equivalent to their demise.
At this moment, Yun Chi was actually not far from death.
But he was greedy; he wanted to know if the remainder of his lifespan could still be spent with Ye Qingqing.
Although Ye Qingqing's lifespan was hundreds of thousands of years apart from his own.
But the moment Yun Chi met Ye Qingqing, he felt his life had just begun.
They couldn't be born on the same day, but to walk towards death together in the remaining time, how could that not be considered growing old together?
"Yun Chi... speak... don't scare me..."
But Yun Chi was, after all, greedy.
When he expended his last divine power to come to Ye Qingqing from a place hundreds of trillions of light-years away from the Human Realm.
It was already destined that he would fall.
At this moment, Yun Chi no longer even had the strength to speak to Ye Qingqing.
He aged instantly.
Finally, he couldn't even maintain his human form.
He could only transform back into his original form.
A massive Golden Dragon directly pressed down on the clouds.
The entire sky suddenly turned dark.
The people of the Human Realm didn't know what was happening.
But when they looked up at the sky, they found a creature that looked like a dragon on the clouds.
It was now majestically coiled in the sky.
Due to their limited knowledge, the people of the Human Realm did not know that there were also the Heavenly Dao and other realms in this world.
Therefore, when they saw the giant creature in the sky, a sense of awe immediately arose in their hearts.
They believed it was a god!
It was a dragon!
So for a long time in the river of human history afterward, the dragon spoken of by people was the very image of Yun Chi at that time.
Ye Qingqing, on the clouds, saw Yun Chi, who was about to fall.
Her heart was filled with unbearable grief.
Ah Huang had already left Ye Qingqing before Yun Chi returned.
But Ye Qingqing did not give up; she knew Yun Chi would come for her someday.
So she, along with Xiao Guang and Xiao Hu, continued to wait on the clouds.
