Immortal in The Apocalypse

Wei Jie stared at the broken hairpin for a long time before putting it back to his spiritual palace. Closing his eyes, he fell into deep meditation as he guarded the flow of time in the Six Realms while watching the past, present, and future intertwined in the river of time.

While Ling Zhen was busy looking for clues and investigating the person who caused the crack in the Reincarnation Stone, Lu Qiu was currently talking to his younger cousin. Sitting on his large bed, Lu Qiu looked at his younger cousin through the water mirror and asked, "Have you found out about what I asked you before?"

On the other side of the water mirror, a handsome young man who looked somewhat similar to Lu Qiu said in a low voice: "Elder Brother, I didn’t find out who was behind the matter of the Reincarnation Stone, but I discovered that the Four Demon Kings actually colluded with the Ghosts Emperor and the Devil King."

Hearing what he said, Lu Qiu’s eyes flickered as he said, "Have you found out why they colluded with the Ghost Emperor and the Devil King?"

The young man nodded and said, "Yes. Elder Brother, you won’t believe what I’ve found. They actually want to occupy the Six Realms! Now, the war between the Devil Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Ghost Realm against the Celestial Realm has begun. Just two days ago, the God of War, Ming Ye, personally led his army and defeated the coalition forces of the three dark races. When I arrived at the battlefield, the armies of the three dark races had been wiped out by the God of War. High God Ming Ye is really awesome!"

Lu Qiu saw the excitement on his face and said, "Yun Shen, don’t interfere in this matter. Just find the person who used the reincarnation stone to send True God Zhu Lin’s contracted beasts to this world. As for the rest, I will deal with it when I get back to the Demon Realm."

Yun Shen’s eyes lit up when he heard that Lu Qiu was going back to the Demon Realm. He grabbed the water mirror, stared at his elder cousin, and asked excitedly: "Elder Brother, will you really come back?"

Lu Qiu nodded and said, "Yes. As long as I find out who sent the Fire Qilin and Ice Qilin to this small world, the Devil God will release my seal. At that time, I can return to the Six Realms after recovering my cultivation."

When Yun Shen wanted to ask if the Devil God was still alive or not, he heard footsteps approaching from outside. He quickly looked at Lu Qiu through the water mirror and said, "Someone is here. I will contact you later when I find more information."

Lu Qiu glanced at the door behind him and said, "Be careful."

"Mhm, I know." After saying that, Yun Shen waved his hand and his figure disappeared from the water mirror.

Sitting on the bed, Lu Qiu waved his hand, and the next second, the water mirror disappeared. He folded his arms and sat there, lost in thought. After a long time, he frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice: "There must be something missing in our investigation result. Could it be that the current war is related to the Resurrection Stone?"

After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said, "It’s really annoying that I can’t investigate this matter myself. I don’t know how long it will take Yun Shen to finish the investigation. I hope it’s not too late by the time we find out who is behind all of this."

After a few seconds, he shook his head to clear his mind and then started cultivating. While the cultivators were busy cultivating to increase their strength, the survivors were already on their way to the Wu Lin base. As time passes slowly, the temperature drops day by day.

Four days later, Xiu Wu woke up before dawn. After washing up, he went to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous breakfast and baked a cake. Today is December 22nd, and today is Zhu Lin’s birthday.

As her boyfriend, he wanted to give her a birthday present, but with their current situation, he had nothing to give her except cooking her a delicious meal to celebrate her birthday.

Three hours later, he looked with satisfaction at the table filled with Zhu Lin’s favorite dishes and a big birthday cake. Seeing that Zhu Lin, Tan Wei, and Ji Yang were still sleeping, he went to wake them up. After waking up Tan Wei and Ji Yang, he went to knock on Zhu Lin’s bedroom door.

Knock, knock, knock.

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhu Lin stopped cultivating and opened her eyes. A few seconds later, she stood up from the bed and went to open the door. When she saw Xiu Wu standing outside, she smiled at him and said, "Good morning, Xiu Wu. Why did you get up so early today?"

Xiu Wu looked at her with a smile and said, "Happy birthday, Lin’er."

After saying that, he hugged her and kissed her cheek, while Zhu Lin looked at him in surprise. This was the first time she remembered her birthday since the last time the Devil God celebrated her birthday with her one thousand years ago.

Xiu Wu looked at her surprised expression and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you like what you see? Or... do you want me as your birthday present?"

Being teased by him, Zhu Lin blushed slightly and said, "Thank you, Xiu Wu, for remembering my birthday."

Suddenly hearing her thank you, Xiu Wu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I will always remember everything about you, and it’s my honor as your boyfriend to celebrate your birthday with you. You don’t need to thank me. If you can spend today with me, I will be very happy."
