Chapter 36 - True End
[The future not long after Kris was sealed]
After Kris was sealed under the ice lake, the family of the third supporting female character, who had always been kind to Dishang Huai, took control of the Olay Empire, just as the plot had intended.
Dishang Huai gifted the entire control of the Bifa Continent to the Olay Empire.
The old emperor was moved to tears as he thought to himself: My son has such good judgement! It’s just a pity that he’s been poisoned, and now his fate is still uncertain… Sniff sniff sniff[1]
He truly felt that having a male empress was no big deal; he'd even be willing to marry Kris off to Dishang Huai if it came to that.
And it wasn't entirely out of self-interest.
Every parent wants the best for their child, and Dishang Huai was no ordinary man—he was incredibly powerful and truly devoted to Kris, something the old emperor could see clearly. Dishang Huai had, after all, once been branded by the entire Olay Empire as the only one Kris "would marry or die trying to love". As such, the royal couple all felt that Kris would live a happy life with Dishang Huai.
[Further into the future after Kris was sealed]
Dishang Huai who had truly become the Demon God and completed the entire plot—avenging the old ancestor and becoming an existence beyond others as stated in the original story—finally pulled Ding Sheng from the depths of the icy lake.
He was still wearing the elegant attire from the day he made his speech at the Saint Luding Flower Conference. His hands hung naturally at his sides, his eyes remained shut, and a faint smile graced his lips as if he were still lost in a peaceful dream.
Dishang Huai struggled to control his trembling hands as he leaned down and kissed Ding Sheng’s forehead. His gaze soft as he whispered, "Wake up, Your Highness. You’ve been asleep for far too long."
However, a princess being woken by a prince's kiss was something which only existed in fairy tales.
Kris still didn't wake.
Nearly a thousand years of hope had been dashed, and the immense disappointment almost drove the Demon God mad. He tried everything, every possible method, but was still unable to rouse his beloved.
Three thousand years later, he finally gave up trying.
Instead, he began travelling the world with Ding Sheng, visiting every corner, with his original appearance.

On the Eternal Snow Peak, a plain-looking young man carried his beautiful lover, struggling against the fierce wind and snow as he climbed step by step to the summit.
Once at the top, he stood still and turned around to brush the snow off his beloved’s nose, smiling quietly.
He said, "Your Highness, back then, I came here to get the Gem of Eternity, but I never had the chance to give it to you."
Then, he pulled out a breathtakingly beautiful, icy blue gemstone necklace from his coat and, with infinite tenderness, placed it around the neck of the unconscious figure before him.
"At that time, I noticed how beautiful the sunrise was over here. And I thought to myself that I had to bring you here to see it once you forgave me."

The Lich King, Sherry, and the others who had followed Dishang Huai into divinity could all see it: Kris’ soul was no longer there.
But none of them dared to say it, nor did they need to.
If they could see it, how could their Demon God master not?
Yet even gods had things they couldn't do anything about.
And the very thing that rendered even Lord Dishang helpless was the most hopeless and despairing thing in the world.

The ancient Jingde Academy welcomed a new, young, and ordinary-looking librarian.
The students didn’t know much about his background, only that even the vice principal, who was always looking down on people with his nostrils, treated him with the utmost respect.
And the librarian had a beautiful lover who was always in a coma.
Whenever the librarian was organising books, he would wheel his lover, seated in a wooden wheelchair, over to the window to let him bask in the sunlight.
The more romantic and arty young women at the academy would often say that, when they saw the way the librarian looked at his lover, they suddenly understood what true love really meant.
Love that had transcended time and space, unchanging and everlasting.
