Soon, forty-nine days passed. It was finally time for Gu Jin and Long Yifan to present the Mage God to the world, just as they had sworn.
But during those forty-nine days, something strange had taken place.
The Gods of the Celestial Realm had reached out to them again and again. For months now, divine envoys had tried to summon Gu Jin and Long Yifan back to the Celestial Realm, sending spiritual messages and divine symbols hidden within the wind and stars. Yet every time, Gu Jin refused.
Long Yifan, of course, supported her completely. "We owe them nothing," he had said coldly.
But in these forty-nine days, their approach changed slightly. For the first time, they showed a trace of hesitation, a reluctant expression, carefully acted.
So when the envoy from the Celestial Realm appeared this time, Gu Jin and Long Yifan greeted him with a polite nod.
