Restoration and Rebirth
The battlefield stilled. The demons and devils that had ravaged the disciples and saints vanished. Those who remained, battered and bloodied, found themselves standing tall once more. The disciples, saints, and even Mi-An were restored to full strength, their injuries healed as if by a miracle.
XiaoYan turned to Mi-An, tears streaming down his face.
"Father… he was here. He helped me," XiaoYan said, voice quivering.
"The Ansha will never leave you," Mi-An whispered, holding his hand.
"I'm… I'm sorry. I let you suffer," XiaoYan murmured, bowed with remorse.
Di'or and the disciples gathered, witnessing the resurrection of hope and strength.
"Welcome back, the god of the universe," Saint LuQi announced, his voice strong. The rest echoed in unison, acknowledging the return of XiaoYan's full power and legacy.
"I'm sorry, I failed you all… for your losses," XiaoYan said humbly, tears still streaming.
Far away, Nem still held Di'or's lifeless body, his eyes cold and calculating. Meanwhile, in a shadowy cave, the evil god nursed his injuries, grinding his teeth in fury.
"The Ansha… lives in him," he growled, a sinister promise of future conflict.
