No wonder they felt an instant connection upon meeting. Their past lives had forged an invisible bond.

Another revelation struck Zhou Ying. She had always believed the inters.p.a.ce’s water held some nouris.h.i.+ng properties. It turned out that the fertility of the inters.p.a.ce stemmed from the divine array set up by the Divine Doctor Yaoshan within the Mother G.o.d Divine Hall. This array transformed animal waste, dead branches, and other organic matter into potent fertilizer, sustaining the inters.p.a.ce’s remarkable growth.

Reaching the final fragment of memory, Zhou Ying sensed a barrier—a sign it wasn’t meant to be accessed yet. She retreated, opening her eyes to find Gu Chengrui sipping chrysanthemum tea on the bed.

“Did you see everything?” he asked gently.

Zhou Ying nodded, a mix of emotions swirling within her. This wasn’t the same Gu Chengrui she knew. A sense of estrangement gnawed at her.

Gu Chengrui, sensing her turmoil, offered her a warm smile. “Don’t worry. Our bond transcends lifetimes. We’ll find our way back to each other.” He held out a cup of tea. “Here, you must be parched after those tense days.”

Zhou Ying accepted the tea without hesitation, the warmth spreading through her chilled core.

“You seem more… vibrant now,” Gu Chengrui observed, his gaze lingering on her face.

“Is Mother G.o.d old-fas.h.i.+oned, then?” Zhou Ying teased.

“Not at all,” he chuckled. “She’s kind, gentle, and, above all, responsible. I suppose I’ve simply grown accustomed to calmness in my advanced age.”

Zhou Ying looked up, understanding dawning. “So, you’ve successfully pa.s.sed your tribulation?”

“Yes,” he confirmed, a hint of sadness in his eyes. “But my time in this body is limited. Three years at most.”

“Three years…” Zhou Ying echoed, the weight of the limited time settling in. “So, you can remain in this form during these three years?”

“Exactly. The Mother G.o.d Temple here is nearly complete. We need to establish them on the smaller continents as well. Once all the temples are operational, it will be time for you to reclaim your ident.i.ty as the Mother G.o.d.”

A pang of concern shot through Zhou Ying. “What about the children? Can they cultivate?”

“They won’t be able to become deities, but I can guide them on the path of cultivation. They can catch up over time.”

Zhou Ying’s voice dropped to a whisper. “If I had known this, I would’ve waited to have children until after your ident.i.ty was restored.”

Gu Chengrui’s eyes softened. “Qing’er,” he murmured, using her true name for the first time. “You wish to bear my child?”

“Qing’er…?”

“Yes. That is Mother G.o.d’s true name.

“We’ve been together for ten thousand years, yet with our restored divinity, children will no longer be an option.”

“Did you have any children in your previous lives?” she asked.

Gu Chengrui shook his head. “Because I had feelings for you before I transcended my tribulation, it was a merciless tribulation. I could only get married when I met you.”

Relief washed over Zhou Ying. The thought of him having children with others had been a nagging worry.

Sensing her relief, Gu Chengrui gently tucked a stray hair behind her ear. “The dawn is approaching. Let’s return.”

“Alright,” Zhou Ying agreed, leading him out of the inters.p.a.ce.

Sunlight streamed through the window. Zhou Ying turned to him, a curious question forming on her lips. “Can you sense the dawn from within the inters.p.a.ce?”
