Chapter 164 - The final day

At night, after taking a bath, I strolled into the courtyard and sat by the pool to ponder. Over the past two years, working tirelessly with the other girls, we had finally righted this fallen world. Now, the social atmosphere was flourishing, morality had risen, and I figured my mission was more or less complete. Even if I returned to the divine realm now, only a short time would have passed there—a brief separation for them, but two whole years for me. The longing in my heart grew stronger by the day. I really wanted to hurry back and see my two lovely wives."You really are here," Kui Yi said, changing into casual clothes as she walked over. "Mm, now that this world is in a state of prosperity, my mission is nearly over. It's time to say goodbye to you all," I said softly, gazing at the night sky. Kui Yi's heart clenched, her expression gradually turning sad. "Can't you stay a few more days? This world still has so many places that need you," she pleaded, though she had long known white would leave one day, she still tried her best to keep me."Parting is only for the next reunion. Don't be too sad. Before I go, I'll push you to the pinnacle of power, and you and the other girls will govern this world together. I trust your abilities," I said with a smile, patting her head. "Let me take your place? I'm absolutely no match for you. How could I shoulder such a heavy responsibility" Kui Yi panicked a little upon hearing this. "It's fine. I'll arrange everything properly so you won't be burdened. I'll also impart some divine arts to you, so you can protect yourself in the days I'm gone. I'll order the four great families to obey you, making it much easier for you to take over," I said, then took her hand and, through soul contact, forcibly opened her energy channels, transmitting various practical divine arts to her. In an instant, Kui Yi reached an energy level of 100 The power of the universe. "This is…? What happened to my body?" Kui Yi stared in astonishment at her glowing body. "Haha, now you're half a god yourself. Come, try activating a divine art with the mental technique I taught you," I said. Her memory system had been infused with techniques for using various divine arts. She lightly lifted her feet, and her body rose into the air. "So amazing" She was incredulous at her own transformation. "I've also taught you the time-stopping technique. If an enemy ever threatens you, you can break free with ease," I said with a smile. "Over these two years, I've grown used to the miracles you keep showing, but I still want to ask—who exactly are you~?" Kui Yi asked eagerly. Since I was leaving, I decided to hide nothing and revealed everything, including the fact that I already had two wives.After hearing all my secrets, Kui Yi fell into thought. Her expression shifted from sorrow to acceptance. With a light sigh, she finally spoke. "I really envy your wives. I understand now. I'll accept the mission and govern this world in your place. In exchange, you have to promise to come back and visit me and everyone when you have time." "Thank you. If the chance arises, I'll definitely come see everyone. It's getting late—let's head inside," I said. Gazing at the night sky, Kui Yi and I returned to the house together.In the week before my departure, I busily handled various handover matters, including announcing my abdication to the world and naming Kui Yi as my successor. The new world queen was born. To maintain Kui Yi's image, I used a mass memory-modification divine art to erase her past—no one would remember it, allowing her to rule as queen with peace of mind. The handover ceremony took place in a grand live broadcast, with Kui Yi receiving blessings and expectations from the entire world while I quietly stepped back, paving the way for her.Time waits for no one, and the day of parting finally arrived. We finished our affairs early that morning and returned to the familiar manor. The girls personally prepared a massive feast for me. "Tonight is our last dinner with white. Let's raise our glasses to thank white for saving us and for the tremendous efforts made for the world over these two years~" Enis gave the opening speech. The girls stood one by one, raising their glasses to toast me. "You're all too polite. We're family—no need to be formal. Life has gatherings and partings. I hope that in the days I'm gone, everyone wakes up on time, eats on time, plays on time, works on time, rests on time, and lives a vibrant, fulfilling life," I said, raising my glass in return. "Waa~~" But upon hearing my words, the girls suddenly grew tearful, covering their faces and sobbing."What's wrong, everyone? Smile a little—crying during a meal isn't fun," I comforted them. Though it had only been a brief two years, we had grown as close as family. I was reluctant too, but more important matters awaited me. "Come on, turning into crybabies would waste this rare feast. Let's pull ourselves together and enjoy the meal. On this final day, we should send white off with our brightest smiles," Kui Yi stood and said. The girls then wiped away their tears and regained their composure. The banquet proceeded joyfully.After the long banquet ended, we gathered in the living room to take holographic photos. Photos in this world were stored as 3D projections in projectors or personal communication devices, which could be displayed in 3D when needed—far more advanced than Earth's flat photos. We sat in a circle, chatting about everything under the sun for a long time. Seeing it was getting late, I said, "Thank you all for your care over these two years. It's about time for me to go. I look forward to reuniting again in the near future." Though reluctant, the girls knew they couldn't keep me. "Your room will always be kept for you—don't forget our promise." "Sister Kui Yi can fly now—teach me next time" "We won't let you down; we'll make this world even better—just rest easy." "Everyone, I propose we each give white a farewell kiss," the girls said one after another. "Great idea" And so, the girls lined up, one by one pressing kisses to my cheeks. Too embarrassed to refuse this final request, I stood there like a wooden post. After the ritual, everyone walked me outside. "Remember to come back and see us" they shouted in unison. Then Kui Yi stepped forward—she hadn't kissed me yet. Suddenly, she leaned in and gave me a deep kiss on the lips. "Uh" The move caught me off guard. If my wives saw this from afar, it would be awkward.After the long kiss, she looked at me affectionately. "Go. Don't you dare lose," she said, pushing me away. With mixed emotions, I stepped back, gave everyone one last look, and said, "Goodbye, everyone." Then I vanished from their sight…As white disappeared, anguished cries erupted from the manor. All the girls became tearful messes. Even Kui Yi, who had been holding back, collapsed in tears. More than just Kui Yi admired white, but everyone knew their own origins and yielded the chance to her. Yet now, even she couldn't keep the one she loved. Companionship is the most enduring confession—why need love be spoken aloud?In the divine realm, "Sorry to keep you waiting," I said with a smile to my two long-absent wives.
