"Alright, stop teasing Lian Kong. Besides visiting everyone, I have important business to attend to today. I heard the cultivation zones are doing quite well, so I'd like to harvest some fruits and vegetables to take back—and of course, I'll pay for them," Xinya said, changing the subject. "Talking about money hurts our friendship! We've had a great harvest in the first half of the year, so take whatever you want," Sai Ying said with a wave of her hand. "No, these crops didn't appear out of thin air; they were grown through everyone's hard work. I must pay." "Enough, enough! You saved everyone—no amount of money could ever repay that, so stop being so polite. Come on, the weather is great today; I'll take you to the zone to pick them yourself!" Sai Ying refused firmly and pulled Xinya toward the door.
The group drove to the cultivation zone, where the vast fields of fruits and vegetables left Xinya dazzled. She and Lian Kong joyfully selected and picked their bounty. After a long while, a car was filled to the brim with produce. With a wave of his hand, Lian Kong stored it all into a dimensional space. "That trick is so convenient! Oh, right—next, I'll take you to visit the new homes of the former residents," Sai Ying acted as a guide and drove the team toward the city center.
When they arrived at the residential buildings of the new city district, they saw numerous skyscrapers rising from the city center; these tower-style buildings were the residents' new homes. One could easily reach the upper floors via circular elevators. Although Xinya, like Lian Kong, was now capable of flight, she couldn't simply display divine arts in front of mortals, lest they be treated as outcasts. Under the warm hospitality of Sai Ying and Qili, the two spent the day enjoying themselves until evening. Just before they left, Kubo, Jesse, and Ruta happened to return, allowing them to finally meet. After some discussion, it was tentatively decided that the union ceremony for Lian Kong and Xinya would be held on Planet Moyi. At that time, the deities of the Divine Realm would transform into mortals to attend. An eagerly anticipated day was approaching.
In the blink of an eye, sixteen days of Planet Moyi time had passed. Today, in a reserved government hall, everything was decorated festively as guests filed into the venue. The massive main hall was packed with former residents of the slum districts and deities in disguise. At this moment, regardless of status, everyone shared the joy of the wedding. The witness was, of course, Kubo, while Jesse, Ruta, Sai Ying, and Qili served as the groomsmen and bridesmaids.
"The God Master has finally found a place to belong. Although he has broken divine law, we all know Miss Xinya's character well. We old folks won't interfere; we shall simply offer our blessings," the priests chatted gratifiedly below the stage. "It's rare to visit the lower realm. I've had my eye on the buffet delicacies over there for a while now. You keep talking; this old man is heading over," Priest Fāxiūsi turned and left, while the other priests looked at each other and followed suit.
"Please welcome the bride!" Kubo shouted into the microphone. The doors slowly pushed open, and Xinya, dressed in a white gown, walked in slowly led by Sai Ying and Qili. Her elegant posture made even Lian Kong's eyes widen. Although he had always opposed weddings, he had felt an affinity for Xinya since the first moment he saw her, which had prompted his subsequent active support just so he could see this mortal woman a few more times. Now, he had finally realized his wish to be eternally united with her. Even as a deity, he could not hide his inner excitement.
Under the guidance of the bridesmaids, Xinya stepped onto the ceremonial stage. Though Jesse had once harbored secret feelings for her, he could now only offer his blessings. "You are truly lucky. I hope you treat her well in the future," Jesse whispered to Lian Kong. The omniscient Lian Kong naturally knew his heart. "A God never breaks his word." His words allowed Jesse to let go of his regrets. Under Kubo's presidency, the bride gave her speech first. When it was Lian Kong's turn, he remained silent; instead, he manifested a glowing energy pearl in his hand. The small pearl contained a million vortices of The power of the universe, which then transformed into a necklace. "According to divine law, if one obtains a partner, one must give half of their own The power of the universe as a token. Let me put this on for you." "This is too precious... I..." Xinya was somewhat startled. "It is no matter. Simply accept it with joy." Lian Kong then placed the golden, shining necklace around her neck. "Ahem! Since the vow of love has been presented, let us continue the program. I invite the groom to kiss the bride!" Kubo announced loudly.
"Kiss her! Kiss her!" the children began to cheer. Just as the two were feeling embarrassed, it suddenly turned dark outside the window, as if the world had lost its light. "Hmm? Is it going to rain?" people asked in confusion. At that moment, Lian Kong and the priests sensed something was wrong. His serious expression made Xinya feel uneasy as well.
