"I... Perhaps the time that I do end up moving on from my mourning will be soon. I'm grateful for your highness's clarification."

"Something like this can easily be resolved if you had just spent some time thinking about it."

"The eyes of a bystander are always clearer than those who are trapped in the center."

"I suppose. Experiencing solitude in moderation is a good means for one to mature but experiencing it excessively will inevitably drive one towards insanity. Surely you must have something here to prevent that."

Throwing Long Feng Zi a piercing gaze Duo Tian smiles in an all-knowing manner.

"That's...-"

Leaping off the chair Duo Tian turns to look off into the distance and without giving Long Feng Zi the time to reply-

"Hmm. I think I need some well-aged drink for that celebratory event that will occur in due time."

"...?"

Towards the suddenness in which Duo Tian had brought this matter up Long Feng Zi put on a puzzled look until-

[A good host tends to gift their guests with something to remember the meeting by. Let's see...]

Tearing open a rift Yi reaches his right hand into it to fish for a suitable farewell gift.

Understanding what Duo Tian had meant through Yi's gesture Long Feng Zi ends up doing the same.

Without waiting for very long the two brought out their respective gifts for the occasion.

"This wine is known to have a strong flavor and should be considered a rarity even in the past."

[A fine set of glassware should be present for a celebratory occasion.]

From Long Feng Zi comes a head sized gourd and from Yi a set of intricate glassware decorated with scale like patterns.

Receiving the gifts and giving the liquor contained in the gourd a quick sniff Duo Tian stores the items away with a smile of satisfaction.

Waving to the two without looking back he vanishes from sight in the next instance.

[*Sigh*]

Upon Duo Tian's strange manner of departure Yi turns to Long Feng Zi with a sigh.

[I would only be insulting you if I said that I felt pity towards your many years of solitude on this barren landmass so I won't.]

"All these centuries of solitude is worth it now knowing that the end for me is near. All that's left is to just wait a bit longer and I've been waiting for so long that a little more can't possibly hurt."

[...]

Towards the expectation that Long Feng Zi has for his own death a series of complex emotions rose in Yi's heart.

As someone whose entire household had been wiped away before his very eyes and is then cursed by the target of his revenge to live for an ill purpose, death is perhaps the sole form of relief available to Long Feng Zi as a means for him to finally rest.

[Do you not have any regrets?]

"If there is a regret then... Ah it is only right that you should meet him."

[Hm?]

"Consider it a surprise. The one over there is welcome to come as well."

[Judging by your expression it seems to be something to look forward to. Does this have something to do with what his highness said about you possessing an object to prevent insanity from solitude?]

"Indeed."

Following after the two Bai Yuechu uses this time to sort through the information that he had just come across.

(Cursed and had his entire household slaughtered and this entire landmass's exterior appearance being but an illusion...)

.........

"Now then..."

Appearing in the center of the Primordial Continent's skies Duo Tian looks to the remaining territories of this world.

Other than the territories of the remaining Exalted Celestials and Ye Can who dwells in the bottom depths of the Starry Seas Duo Tian's highest point of interest at this time would have to be-

(The landmass created by Bai Yecha, the land of the Yaksha Dynasty.)

Pondering about this landmass in silence Duo Tian eventually decides to create eight clones of himself as a means to get everything done in the shortest amount of time.

Due to their master and disciple relationship Su Dao Zhong and Luo Xue are the only two Exalted Celestials to share a single territory that is divided amongst themselves.

The first to seventh clone will be visiting the remaining Exalted Celestials' domains whereas the eighth clone will be making a trip down to the bottom of the Starry Seas to collect what Ye Can owes him.

As for the original body it will be making a trip to the Yaksha Dynasty.

With these arrangements in mind Duo Tian sends his clones away for their respectively tasks before proceeding towards the Yaksha Dynasty's direction.
