Despite Marc Fraley's hoarse and desperate yelling, Ethan Smith no longer paid him any attention.
He returned to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
At this moment, the pavilion had already become a pile of ruins.
Holding Star's corpse, Ethan went to the mountain behind.
He built a grave for Star and carved Star's name onto the tombstone.
The back mountain was somewhat desolate, and Ethan gazed at Star's grave, his heart filled with countless emotions.
*How many people along this journey will pass away? How many will make it to the end?*

Ethan remained silent.
*This world has never judged outcomes based on good or evil. Countless wicked souls roam free beyond the Ninth Cloud, while so many kind-hearted individuals meet untimely deaths.*
*The world of cultivators is even more cruel—perhaps today you toast cups together, and tomorrow you become a mound of dirt.*
"Let's go."
