Looking at Ye Yu's extremely surprised expression,

Gan Zhi Zui’s eyes turn slightly red.

She trembles as she speaks: “Actually, at the beginning, I disguised myself as Gan Duoduo.

I just wanted to understand what exactly is the death of ascenders.

But I never expected it would lead to today’s situation.

Originally, I could have continued pretending.

But I’m a bit tired; I don’t want to be someone else’s shadow anymore!

Ye Yu, I like you, and I am very happy being with you.

You don’t need to feel any psychological burden. From today onwards, I will self-imprison in the sea of consciousness. I wish you and Duoduo a lifelong bond!”

After saying this,

Gan Zhi Zui slightly bows, paying her respects to Ye Yu.

Immediately afterward, the color of her black robe changes at a visible speed.

Gan Zhi Zui truly keeps her word.

She releases Gan Duoduo.

Then she directly enters the sea of consciousness.

Gan Duoduo, regaining control of her body, is quite astonished.

“So quickly back to the sea of consciousness?”

“Wasn’t the answer supposed to come later?”

In response to Gan Duoduo's inquiry, Gan Zhi Zui remains silent.

She hugs her knees, slightly lowers her head, and curls her body into a ball.

At this moment, Ye Yu sees Gan Duoduo’s current appearance.

He instantly recalls the words Yin Feijing had said earlier.

While their appearances may be identical, their gazes are absolutely different!

At any time, Gan Duoduo's gaze is always gentle.

Whereas Gan Zhi Zui’s is as cold as ever.

This is a fundamental difference.

If that’s the case,

then Gan Zhi Zui wasn’t joking earlier.

For more than a hundred years, she has truly been by his side.

So many days and nights...

Previously, Gan Duoduo had said that even if one’s soul is trapped in the sea of consciousness, they can still see everything outside.

Doesn’t that mean that Gan Duoduo has watched for over a hundred years?

How should he deal with that!

For a moment, Ye Yu feels quite a headache.

But Gan Duoduo’s next words leave him completely stunned.

“Why are you silent? My sister is talking to you.”

“She said she likes you, so what about you? Don’t you like her?”

Seeing Gan Duoduo’s encouraging gaze,

Ye Yu even suspects he is hallucinating.

Why is it encouragement instead of anger?

When Ye Yu still doesn’t speak,

Gan Duoduo furrows her brows.

“Xiao Yuyu, is it so hard to say you like her?”

“I’ve been watching everything you two have been doing for over a hundred years.”

“Don’t lie; liking someone is just liking!”

“I also support my sister liking you along with me.”

“At worst, we can take turns accompanying you every day, how about that?”

After confirming that Gan Duoduo is not joking,

Ye Yu’s heart fills with joy.

Logically speaking, who could really refuse something as beautiful as a lotus flower blooming from the same stem?

Now that Gan Duoduo is so encouraging,

how could he possibly refuse?

Thus, Ye Yu steadies his mind and seriously says: “Yes, I do like Gan Zhi Zui.”

“After a hundred years of love, who wouldn’t be moved?”

“Moreover, in my heart, you are not anyone’s shadow; you are simply you.”

“There’s no need to pretend in the future!”

Upon hearing these words, the sea of consciousness becomes tumultuous!

Gan Zhi Zui lifts her head slightly, tears welling in her eyes, and trembles as she asks: “Really?”

Gan Duoduo also cooperatively says: “Husband, is what you said true?”

Ye Yu takes Gan Duoduo’s hand and places it on his heart.

He speaks clearly: “Every word is true; my heart can be trusted.”

In the next moment,

the white robe on Gan Duoduo changes again.

It turns from white to black!

This time, it is Gan Duoduo who actively relinquishes control of her body.

Gan Zhi Zui moves forward directly, leaping into Ye Yu's embrace.

Overcome with joy, she weeps!

From this day forward,

Gan Duoduo and Gan Zhi Zui reach an agreement: one day each, alternating in the sea of consciousness.

This way, they can both be by Ye Yu’s side.

Regarding this,

Ye Yu has no objections.

At 550 years old, Ye Yu finally reaches the moment of ascension.

Above Forget Worry Mountain, the heavenly gates open wide, the celestial sounds resound, and the immortal cranes call out.

A familiar pulling force comes.

Ye Yu’s body involuntarily begins to ascend.

Gan Duoduo, suppressing her reluctance, waves goodbye to him.

“Husband, wait for me and my sister in the celestial realm.”

“We will ascend to the celestial realm as soon as possible to join you.”

Ye Yu nods in agreement: “Okay, I will wait for you in the celestial realm!”

The speed of ascent grows faster and faster.

In just a few breaths, Gan Duoduo on Forget Worry Mountain has vanished from view.

But Ye Yu doesn’t remain idle either.

To prevent a repeat of the disastrous experience from his previous ascension,

he immediately activates his innate talent to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune!

Soon, two bamboo slip phantoms appear, flipping open simultaneously!

The upper middle sign indicates that standing still will keep one safe.

The lower lower sign indicates that dodging to the left will result in no bones remaining!

After reading today’s signs,

Ye Yu frowns slightly.

One upper middle and one lower lower.

That can only be considered very average.

Not knowing how much time has passed,

Ye Yu arrives in the celestial realm again.

Before he can stabilize himself, just like last time,

a streak of sword light rushes directly at him.

Ye Yu instinctively wants to dodge to the right.

But recalling the advice from the divination, he hesitates.

Although it didn’t say that dodging right would lead to death,

he decides to stay still, trusting in his talent for good fortune and misfortune.

But this sword light seems to be charging straight at him, and not dodging will really lead to death!

Ye Yu grits his teeth and decides to tough it out.

“It might just be an illusion!”

In the next second,

the sword light splits into four, passing by Ye Yu from all four directions, with the center left unharmed.

This scene

makes Ye Yu involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, the golden talent is indeed remarkable, able to turn misfortune into good fortune every time!

However, Ye Yu still feels puzzled.

Why is there always a streak of sword light during each ascension?

What on earth is going on?

Ye Yu ponders this question endlessly.

But he doesn’t dwell too much on it.

Instead, he starts to seriously observe this celestial realm.

He sees clouds flowing around, celestial mountains floating in the void, the scenery is incredibly magnificent.

Yet, he does not see any immortals.

What’s going on here?

Could it be that the immortals in the celestial realm also need to enter seclusion?

With this question in mind,

Ye Yu flies forward while observing his surroundings.
