620: Chapter 620 The Last Fragment of Memories
As expected, Yue Wen's situation was exactly as Chen Yi had imagined.
She had started off claiming she disdained such things, but now she was the one actively clinging to him!
The way she swayed her waist—even with Chen Yi's near-God Emperor physical constitution, he could barely hold out—ahem, stop!
Chen Yi said helplessly, "Hey, hey, hey, the contract is complete, you can move away now, right?"
Yue Wen lay on top of him, her waist still moving incessantly: "Don't talk nonsense. You're satisfied, but I'm not yet. Let's continue!"
Chen Yi was even more speechless: "No, this is an emergency! The Void Realm will face its doomsday in just over twenty days!"
Yue Wen raised her head and looked at him: "We have time to spare!"
Chen Yi rolled his eyes.
Sure enough, when it came to such matters, there was only the difference between zero times and countless times!
Finally, after another two and a half hours, the two of them got up to dress.
Yue Wen put on a clean long dress, layered in blue and white three times over, and tied up her silver-white long hair, restoring her cold and noble demeanor.
Yet, a trace of satisfied languor still remained on her face.
"Let's go, it's time to return!"
She reached out her hand.
Chen Yi took her hand, their fingers intertwining.
The corners of Yue Wen's mouth curled slightly; it was the first time in thirty thousand years that she had smiled so naturally.
Perhaps this was what they called falling in love?
Chen Yi took out the last memory fragment from his bosom.
Unlike the previous two, the light from this one was deeper and more dazzling.
Perhaps the final truth was inside here!
He took a deep breath and put the fragment away.
Yue Wen looked at him without speaking, simply tightening her grip on his hand.
The two exchanged a glance, stepped into the teleportation array, and returned to the central area of the Void Realm.

In Zhao Zhao's residence, the crooked tree in the courtyard was still there, a few leaves swaying in the wind.
When Chen Yi and Yue Wen pushed the door open and entered.
Zhao Zhao was squatting in the courtyard, dazed, holding a twig and drawing circles on the ground;
Fiya was sitting on a stone stool, resting her chin on her hands, eyes gazing at the door, looking a bit dazed;
Emilia was leaning against that crooked tree, eyes closed, her silver-white long hair gently fluttering in the wind.
Three people, three different postures, but the expression on their faces was the same—worry!
The moment the door was pushed open, Zhao Zhao was the first to jump up.
"Chen Yi! You're back! You're finally back! Emilia told us you were teleported to a strange place, we were worried to death!"
Fiya also immediately snapped out of it, flashing in front of Chen Yi.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Emilia breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly up to Chen Yi.
After all, since that pirate attack, Chen Yi hadn't summoned her.
Although the sisters were helping, it was impossible not to be worried!
Chen Yi smiled and reached out to rub Zhao Zhao and Fiya's heads.
"It's fine~~~ I just went to a very distant place to deal with some trouble, and now it's all over!"
He said it nonchalantly, as if he had just gone out for a stroll.
In fact, it really wasn't much different from a stroll!
At this moment, Zhao Zhao raised her head from his arms and only then noticed Yue Wen behind Chen Yi.
Her expression was very calm, but she was standing very close to Chen Yi, so close that their arms were almost touching.
Zhao Zhao blinked: "Sister Yue Wen? You're back too?"
Yue Wen nodded slightly, stepped forward, glanced at Zhao Zhao, Fiya, and Emilia, and after taking a deep breath, said: "From today on, I am also one of you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Zhao was stunned;
Fiya was also stunned;
Emilia's eyebrows raised slightly!
Zhao Zhao was the first to react; her gaze shifted back and forth between Yue Wen and Chen Yi, and then she revealed a meaningful smile.
"Oh~~~~ So that's it!"
"Chen Yi, how did you manage to woo Sister Yue Wen?"
"Emilia only said you were teleported away, she didn't know the specific situation."
Chen Yi looked at the three women's gossiping expressions and couldn't help but laugh and cry: "We'll talk about these things later! The most important thing now is to check the last memory fragment; perhaps the final truth is inside!"
Just as he finished speaking, a familiar aura descended from the sky---
It was Alke again!
As expected, he was indispensable at a time like this!
"Yo, Chen Yi, long time no see, do you need a guide?"
Chen Yi glared at him.
This guy, could he be a perverted stalker?
Actually following him around the whole time---
But he didn't say anything.
If it weren't for Alke, he wouldn't have known when he would have been able to contract Yue Wen.
This assist was indeed decent!
Although the methods were a bit rough, the result wasn't bad.
Yue Wen naturally couldn't guess that a God Emperor would be so idle, so she still held respect for the God Emperor Senior.
She bowed slightly: "Lord Alke."
Alke waved his hand: "No need for formalities, I'm just here to watch the show."
Chen Yi rolled his eyes: "If you want to watch, then come along; after all, I can't stop you anyway."
---
Everyone still came to that secluded open space.
Yue Wen walked beside Zhao Zhao, and Zhao Zhao whispered to her about the contents of the previous two memory fragments—about the Void Emperor Chen Yu, about the three concubines, and about the cause of the doomsday catastrophe---
As Yue Wen listened, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
She hadn't expected that the once glorious kingdom had actually perished because of that angel who looked like a saint?
An angel created to manage life-bearing planets had fallen because she witnessed too much despair, and in turn, destroyed the world that created her---
It was truly too terrifying!
Chen Yi took out the last memory fragment from his bosom.
Golden light surged from the fragment, condensed in the air, and transformed into a huge gate of light.
Chen Yi, Emilia, Zhao Zhao, Fiya, and Yue Wen, the five of them stepped forward simultaneously and entered the gate of light.
When the light dissipated.
Everyone found themselves standing on a ruin.
The sky was gray, the sunlight obscured by thick smoke and dust, leaving only a layer of dark red halo; the earth was cracked, and dark red mist constantly emerged from the fissures;
Those once towering high towers, those once exquisite palaces, those once bustling streets---all gone!
Only broken walls and ruins remained, only scorched earth, only endless dead silence!
The once glorious kingdom was now nothing but a ruin!
The doomsday catastrophe had already ended!
In the once glorious kingdom, only one person was still alive!
Void Emperor Chen Yu stood before a collapsed tower.
His white robes were covered in dust, his black hair disheveled over his shoulders, his whole person exuding a deep sense of exhaustion and despair.
His eyes gazed into the distance, at the gray sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
That once high-spirited Void Emperor, that man who always had a smile on his lips, was now in such a state---
It was truly enough to make one sigh endlessly!
