In the aftermath, as expected, the Divine City initiated the Samsara Divine Judgment.
Coupled with a portion of Samsara's power from a Chaos Supreme Treasure, it successfully plunged the entire Heavenly Domain and all the myriad realms into a new cycle of reincarnation.
Countless individuals with divine bloodlines perished within the power of reincarnation, and everything related to divinity scattered like sand.
Only a select few, along with the people within the Divine City, survived.
With events reaching this point, Ye Yun finally understood everything that had transpired in the past, yet his heart remained immensely heavy.
The truth of the matter had delivered a significant shock to him as well.
As the projection ended, the surroundings reverted to a white glow. The white figure looked at Ye Yun and asked,
"Now you should understand what I did, shouldn't you?"
"Yes, I do..."
Ye Yun nodded, unsure of what else to say.
To call the figure cruel and heartless, yet he had secured a chance at life for the entire Heavenly Domain.
But to deem him righteous and benevolent, no one could vindicate the billions of divine bloodline bearers who had died innocently.
Finally, the white figure asked again,
"Have you obtained a Star God-level divine spark?"
"A Star God-level divine spark?"
Ye Yun snapped back to reality, a brief moment of shock giving way to a sudden recollection.
He nodded and replied,
"It seems so. I did indeed merge with an extremely powerful divine spark, named the Divine Spark of Stars."
"Then it's as I suspected."
The white figure finally relaxed, feeling that all his past sacrifices had been worthwhile.
He then said with a smile,
"With this divine spark, once you break through to the God Spirit level, you will soar to unprecedented heights and have the opportunity to contend for the supreme divine position in the Heavenly Domain."
"The future of the Heavenly Domain is in your hands."
Meeting his fervent gaze, Ye Yun silently nodded.
"I will. I won't let anyone destroy the Heavenly Domain."
The white figure smiled, "Then I can rest assured. Rely on that Chaos Supreme Treasure, no, rely on the system you possess, and reach the pinnacle of the Heavenly Domain and the Great Thousand Worlds."
"I will."
Ye Yun nodded again.
This was not driven by the will of his past self, but simply because he had his own reasons to protect the Heavenly Domain.
At this moment, the white figure pondered for a bit and then said,
"By the way, there's something I hope you can help me with."
"Just say it."
"It's nothing major, just that I'd like you to deliver a few messages for me."
"To Xiao Lingluo and the others?"
"Precisely."
"No problem. What messages?"
This seemed to be the figure's final wish, and Ye Yun didn't mind helping, especially since it wouldn't take much effort.
Moreover, after witnessing everything that had happened, he felt a pang of sadness for those women.
Then, the white figure mused for a moment and slowly spoke,
"For Lingluo, I hope you tell her..."
He then thoughtfully conveyed a message for each person beside him, a final farewell after tens of thousands of years.
After listening, Ye Yun nodded.
"I will deliver your words to them."
"Thank you."
The white figure smiled faintly, then shifted his tone,
"Besides that, there's also you."
"Huh? Me?"
Ye Yun was taken aback.
The white figure looked at him and said,
"Although I don't know what your experiences have been like in this life, I hope you understand one thing."
"I am not you, and you are not me. We are merely individuals who share the common identity of transmigrators, but our origins and experiences are vastly different."
"The current you and I are essentially two separate beings, so you need not feel guilty for the sins I have committed."
He seemed to have discerned Ye Yun's inner struggle.
These words were meant to soothe his feelings.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun fell into a long silence.
While his reasoning was sound, such matters were ultimately defined by individual perception.
Finally, the white figure sighed,
"Alright, I have said all I can. Since you know everything now, we shall bid farewell forever."
"..."
Ye Yun looked at him and asked, "Your current state... there's no hope, is there?"
The white figure paused for a moment, then chuckled,
"What are you thinking? I've been dead for tens of thousands of years. What you're seeing now is merely a remnant of consciousness."
"I see..."
With events having reached this stage, he could only nod and say,
"Then, farewell forever..."
This experience of conversing with his past self was likely something few people had ever had, and it was certainly a peculiar one.
Afterward, under the white figure's smile, the white light gradually faded. The soul, which had been drawn out, instantly returned to his body.
It felt as if he had just woken from a dream.
Ye Yun, who had been standing before the golden stone tablet, suddenly jolted, his eyes snapping open. He found himself back.
"Are you alright?"
Luo Jiutian, who had been guarding by his side, quickly stepped forward to support him.
Having witnessed the past, Ye Yun looked at the cute and playful Luo Jiutian beside him, and a sense of unease washed over him.
Over these tens of thousands of years, the once majestic and dignified Goddess Luo Jiutian had transformed into this playful and endearing form.
And Yuan Yi, who was like a girl next door, had become the original Luo Jiutian.
Because of a single sentence from his past self, they had lived each other's lives...
"Don't worry, I'm fine..."
Ye Yun steadied himself and smiled at her.
Seeing this, Luo Jiutian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you're alright. So, what did you see just now? Did you see what happened in the past?"
"Yes, I saw a projection of a thousand years, and another me."
Ye Yun recounted truthfully, then added,
"In the end, he asked me to deliver a message to each of you."
While the preceding information was not particularly surprising, the latter statement immediately captured Luo Jiutian's attention, as well as Xiao Lingluo's.
Luo Jiutian grasped his hand and eagerly asked,
"What? What did he say?"
It was evident that she still deeply cared for the past Ye Yun.
Ye Yun paused, looked at her, and slowly said,
"For you, this is what he said."
"'Jiutian, so much time has passed, have you become a bit cuter? I apologize for not realizing your feelings until the end. I hope that in my next life, I can make up for the regrets I have towards you.'"
Then, he turned his head to look at Xiao Lingluo.
"And for you, this is what he said."
"'Lingluo, I'm truly sorry that we couldn't reach the end together this time. I'll have to trouble you to take good care of me in the new timeline.'"
After finishing, he took a deep breath.
"That's roughly it, word for word what he said."
From these few sentences, one could discern that although he told Ye Yun that they were two completely different individuals, his words to these women still betrayed the notion that he and Ye Yun were the same person. Perhaps it was to give them something to hold onto.
Luo Jiutian and Xiao Lingluo fell silent for a long time after hearing this. After a considerable pause, they both managed a smile, perhaps having found some peace for their hearts.
