The world of the positive plane gradually solidified, and a figure, with closed eyes, was slowly dissipating.
Finally, in the positive plane, all universes, continents, and starry skies had completely condensed.
Then, figures appeared in various worlds.
In the Hall of Five Elements, countless disciples had all reappeared.
Xiao Jin was back, Qi Heng was back, Xi Sha, Li Yan, He Xu, Wan Qingyi, Wan Jianyi, Zi Yan, Qi Tian Da Sheng... many Saints had returned.
Wan Qianxin, Xia Yubing, Han Xiaoyun, Bao Bao, Wan Liuchuan, Liu Yuxin, Tian Suanzi, Huo Feng, Yuan Jun, Qing Wu, Da Da, Ka Ka...
The Thunder Rain team, all members returned.
Xia Dayu, Wan Yi, Han Xiaofeng, Han Xiaoyu, She Yu...
The Five Great Immortal Venerables had also returned.
Qi Manyao, the Sect Master of Kui Lian, and Lin'er...
had also returned.
Finally...
The figure of Feng Zhi Xian Zun, Fang Xiaoyu, appeared in the Hall of Five Elements.
Everyone saw the figure in the sky, almost dissipated to nothing.
They also heard the words he left behind.
"With my life, I exchange for your return."
Countless people cheered for their resurrection and return, shouting Wan Lei's name.
However, those who cared about him, those who knew him, all stared blankly at the figure in the sky, sorrow spreading.
They knew that a great power had sacrificed himself, using his life to bring about the resurrection of the entire positive plane.
Fang Xiaoyu looked up and saw the figure in the sky, and in an instant, her eyes reddened.
"Wan Lei!!!"
Fang Xiaoyu screamed tragically and rushed to Wan Lei's side.
"Come back! Where are you going! Why did you leave me alone?! Why!
You promised to resurrect us, but you didn't say you were going to die yourself. Come back, I want you to come back!"
"I don't want to be resurrected, take me with you! You promised me, no matter what we do, we will always be together. You broke your promise, I hate you for life!"
"Wan Lei..."
Fang Xiaoyu's mournful cry infected the entire Hall of Five Elements. All the cheers disappeared, and many people couldn't help but cry.
At this moment, Wan Lei didn't even have the energy to say a word.
He had used all his energy, all his authority, all his matter, and his transcendence body to exchange for the entire positive plane.
He looked at Fang Xiaoyu with deep affection and worry, smiled weakly, and then looked at Lin'er below.
His intention was simple: to ask Fang Xiaoyu to take good care of Lin'er and not do anything foolish.
"Wan Lei..."
Fang Xiaoyu's tears streamed down her face. She reached out to hug Wan Lei, but the figure in her arms turned into starlight and dissipated in the air.
Qi Manyao, holding Lin'er, had already been in tears.
When she had dissipated into starlight in Wan Lei's arms back then, Wan Lei's feelings should have been the same as hers now.
In the Hall of Five Elements, countless people knelt down, grateful to Wan Lei for saving them.
The members of the Thunder Rain team were already weeping uncontrollably.
Liu Yuxin sobbed and trembled in Wan Liuchuan's arms.
Wan Liuchuan held her, his tears falling onto her head.
Tian Suanzi looked at the dissipating figure, his eyes wet, and murmured,
"Brother, old friend, travel well."
The four little ones lowered their heads. They were no longer children; they were seasoned warriors, but now, they could no longer be strong.
"Master..."
Yuan Jun looked at the sky, tightly gripping Qing Wu's arm.
"Young Master Lei... Young Master, you'll come back, right? You're invincible! You almost died before, but you came back, didn't you?"
Above the Dan Hall, Sui Xiaohang cried and laughed, appearing to be疯癫.
"Lei'er... Lei'er..."
Wan Hongxin bit his lip until it bled. He only had this one son; he was his pride.
Xia Dayu clenched his fists, while Wan Yi looked thoughtful.
Xi Sha was sobbing, crying that if he could come back, she would even be his concubine.
Qi Heng held a jar of wine and took a large gulp,
"Brother, you've probably already forgotten me, but I still remember that I owe you a drink."
At Yan Tower Academy, Liu Tao kowtowed nine times, bidding farewell to his benefactor.
Wan Lei was smiling before he dissipated.
He had finally fulfilled his promise and saved everyone.
Everyone had returned, not a single one missing.
But...
In this world,
Only one person was missing.
A month later.
Above the clouds.
Fang Xiaoyu, holding Lin'er, squatted on the ground, her eyes vacant as she looked at the sky. There was nothing in the sky.
Beside her were the five Great Immortal Venerables.
Including her, there were now six Immortal Venerables in the positive plane.
Only Lei Zhi Xian Zun was missing.
She Yu squatted on the ground, took Fang Xiaoyu's hand, and gently comforted her,
"Xiaoyu, don't be too sad. In fact, Wan Lei isn't dead. His body has turned into all things in the universe. Every inch of land here, every leaf, every wisp of air, is him.
He is the entire world.
No matter where you are, he is by your side.
And his will has also merged into this universe. He is watching you now, and no matter where you are, he can always watch you and accompany you."
"But what I want is a husband who can talk and laugh with me and shelter me from the wind and rain. What Lin'er needs is a father who can teach him and support him."
Fang Xiaoyu lowered her head and looked at Lin'er in her arms, murmuring,
"Aren't we Immortal Venerables? Can't Immortal Venerables resurrect others at will? Why can't we even resurrect one person?"
"Alas, a transcendent being, how can we mere Immortal Venerables resurrect them?"
Xia Dayu sighed.
Wan Yi smiled slightly and looked at the sky, saying leisurely,
"Actually... it's not entirely impossible."
"A way? Do we still have a way?"
Fang Xiaoyu immediately stood up, looking at Wan Yi nervously, anticipating the method he spoke of.
She knew that Wan Yi was the foremost wise man of the positive plane, the smartest person in the world. Many of his contingency plans and arrangements came from him.
Without him, Wan Lei would not have become an Immortal Venerable, and they might have been annihilated by Han Fengxue long ago, and the entire positive plane would have been destroyed.
"Senior Wan, speak quickly."
Fang Xiaoyu, holding Lin'er, almost crashed into Wan Yi's arms.
Wan Yi smiled slightly,
"Indeed, we cannot resurrect someone who has become transcendent. However, we can resurrect an Immortal Venerable... right?"
"Resurrect an Immortal Venerable?"
Xia Dayu suddenly realized,
"You mean, we don't resurrect Wan Lei, who has become transcendent, but resurrect Wan Lei at the time when he just became an Immortal Venerable, right?"
"Yes, Xiaoyu, do you still remember where the universe you became Immortal Venerables in is?"
"Of course I remember, let's go now."
Fang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. She handed Lin'er to Qi Manyao, turned around, and led the five Great Immortal Venerables to the universe created by Wan Lei.
Thirty years later.
Seven figures appeared in the sky above the Hall of Five Elements.
The figure in the sky-blue robe took a step forward, looked at everyone below, and smiled slightly,
"Everyone, I am back."

Concluding Remarks:
The book is officially finished. This is truly the end, with no plot twists or surprises, a proper conclusion.
Wan Lei has accompanied you readers for over a year and has also accompanied me through hundreds of days and nights. Honestly, I feel immense reluctance to write the words "End of Book."
It's the same feeling as when I finished the three-million-word "Da Yu Wei Chen" last year and wrote "End of Book."
The ending was originally planned to conclude when Wan Yi said there was a way, but I remembered being severely criticized for leaving a cliffhanger in my last book's finale, so I decided not to do that this time and added the conclusion.
427 days of continuous serialization without a single break, 427 days and nights. I worked my job while staying up late to write, all to fulfill the promise of "never breaking continuity" made at the start of the book.
Now, I have truly achieved it.
"Tian Jie Bai Du Ren," with over 2.6 million words, has concluded, and Wan Lei's time with us has ended.
The next phase will be entrusted to Han Yun.
"Achievement System: I Cultivate Immortality in the Martial World" has already been launched and published, with tens of thousands of words updated.
The protagonists, supporting characters, and villains in the new book all have their IQs online. It is also the most brain-burning book I have ever written. This one is about chivalry, love, and hatred in the martial world.
As always, the promise is: never break continuity!
