That's Just His Wishful Thinking

Bai Yunyi was stunned. "How can that be? She loved him so much."

He denied it almost instantly, because he had clearly seen for himself how deeply she loved the Heavenly Emperor.

But he had to admit that that had been the most lively and cheerful time at Heavenly Palace Cliff.

The deities were no longer as aloof or tried to one-up each other. Everybody got along peacefully.

Many deities missed life in the human world. However carefree they were as deities, they felt that something was missing.

After she appeared, she showed everyone the energy and enthusiasm they lacked.

In her they found the thing they were missing.

Later, when she pleaded on behalf of mankind, they also saw her grief and unwavering love for all things.

The deities didn't have that either.

After she killed the Heavenly Emperor and was demoted to the human world, many deities at Heavenly Palace Cliff still missed her.
