Chapter 702: Chapter 701: Father-in-law Looks at His Son-in-law
The passage of time for the other seemed excessively slow.

This sculpture could be regarded as a carbon-based life form.

It’s not that carbon-based life forms lack life, but rather the time scale of their life is too vast.

Just as if the sun were viewed as a life form, from birth to expansion and eventual extinction, it has tens of billions of years.

The span of a human life is only several decades.

If one stretched out the events of a human’s life over tens of billions of years, how much time would each event occupy?

You would need many years just to eat breakfast.

Raising your hand would take many years as well.

But in your perception, you simply had a meal and raised a hand.

That is the time scale and temporal domain of carbon-based life forms.

Of course, this is just rambling, the actual integration with the Dao by immortals is much more complex and can’t be explained so simply.

Idle talk aside, the process of merging with the Dao has, in fact, in terms of the temporal domain, entered the perspective of “Heaven.”

From the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, the evolution of the entire world actually involves so little change.

However, from the perspective of humans, even immortals, this small amount of change takes an unbelievably long amount of time.

Thus, without realizing it, Qin Changqing had spent a full ten thousand years in this place.

“Has it already been ten thousand years?”

After Qin Changqing exited the state of Dao Integration, he murmured softly.

Ten thousand years had passed all too quickly.

Just now, within this small world, he felt as if he had become God, and in his sensation, only a short while seemed to have passed.

His gaze turned to the Zi Wei Fairy.

The Zi Wei Fairy was still staring blankly.

“Not awake yet?”

Qin Changqing thought.

However, she had been transformed into a sculpture for who knows how many tens of thousands of years and hadn’t awakened.

Even if Qin Changqing found this last shred of her spiritual light… it didn’t seem to be so easy to awaken her.

Over these ten thousand years, there were hardly any secrets left for Qin Changqing in this world composed of the sun, moon, and stars.

With a slight increase in power, he himself could arrange such a Great Array.

“I’ll wait a little longer.”

Qin Changqing decided to wait some more.

The gains from this journey were not insignificant; since there was nothing urgent, he could wait a bit longer.

With the current population of the Qin family, even if Qin Changqing just lay here sleeping, rewards would keep flowing in continuously.

After waiting for some more years,

one day, changes began to occur in the surrounding chaos.

A vast array of scenery suddenly appeared.

“There’s a change!”

Qin Changqing’s gaze shifted to the Zi Wei Fairy, and he saw light beginning to emerge in her eyes.

She was about to awaken!

Indeed.

In a brief time, the lifeless look in the Zi Wei Fairy’s eyes was replaced with spirit.

She truly woke up.

She lifted her head and looked at Qin Changqing.

Her gaze also settled on him.

In her eyes, there was still a hint of confusion.

But soon, the confusion slowly began to shift, and curiosity gradually emerged.

“Are you my husband?”

Then, she spoke, her voice clear, like that of an innocent young girl.

The words of the Zi Wei Fairy left Qin Changqing at a loss for a response.

He hadn’t expected that upon uttering her first words, the Zi Wei Fairy would come up with such a sentence.

Qin Changqing thought for a moment, looked at her, and asked, “Why do you think I’m your husband?”

The Zi Wei Fairy replied, “Because the only person who could enter here and awaken me is my future husband. Uncle Xuanyuan told me that if I fell in love with you, I would be able to fully awaken.”

Is that so?

Qin Changqing vaguely understood.

The Xuanyuan Dao Master was clearly a Saint as well.

Accidents during Dao Integration are often irreversible.

“`

Fortunately, Zi Wei Fairy, as the daughter of a Saint, was saved by the sheer will of Xuanyuan Dao Master with the Sun, Moon and Stars Great Formation that captured a glimmer of life for her.

At the same time, the other party chose “emotion” as the key to her salvation.

The reason for this choice was probably because it was simply the best way.

Now, she was merely the last bit of spiritual light.

Not her complete Divine Soul.

To restore her to normal, it was necessary to pull her back from the Great Dao of the world, bit by bit.

This was naturally not an easy feat.

Qin Changqing had also achieved Dao Integration more than once, and he knew the terror of becoming one with the Dao.

Merging with the universe meant your Divine Soul would be divided into billions of pieces, becoming a mere screw in the grand workings of the cosmos.

Even for Saints who had mastered their Dao, this was an unsolvable predicament.

After all, with the Three Thousand Great Dao being boundless and endless, even Saints who had mastered the Dao had only mastered the Dao they had proved themselves.

But sometimes, a single word of affection proved to be so miraculous.

“You’re taller than I imagined. Will you help me? If you are willing, then I’m about to start loving you.”

Zi Wei Fairy fluttered her bright, large eyes as she spoke to Qin Changqing.

About to start loving Qin Changqing?

Uh.

The feeling she gave Qin Changqing was indeed quite different from what he had anticipated.

The sense of her being a young girl was too strong.

And she was also so adorable.

“Are you willing?”

Zi Wei Fairy looked at Qin Changqing with sincere eyes and gently formed her hand into a small fist, stretching it out.

This gesture made her seem even more adorable.

Seeing this, Qin Changqing also made a fist with his hand and gently bumped it against hers.

“Okay, I am willing.”

“Then from today on, you are my future husband.”

Zi Wei Fairy, delighted at Qin Changqing’s response, was like a girl who had just scored full marks.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the spirited expression on her face began to fade rapidly.

It seemed that even her last bit of spiritual light was not so stable.

It would occasionally be affected.

“Husband… this jade… for you…”

Zi Wei Fairy quickly stuffed a piece of jade into Qin Changqing’s hand, and then the expression on her face completely vanished, turning back to a stupor.

After waiting for a while, Qin Changqing thought better and retracted his consciousness.

The Sun, Moon and Stars Great Formation was still rotating slowly.

In his hand, he now held a piece of jade that was always warm to the touch.

The jade was engraved with the sun, moon, and stars.

When Qin Changqing’s consciousness entered the jade, he discovered that it could actually connect with the Sun, Moon and Stars Great Formation.

Upon entering with his consciousness, he saw Zi Wei Fairy inside, sitting in a daze.

This was indeed convenient.

Qin Changqing’s consciousness withdrew.

At this moment, Qin Changqing sensed something.

He turned his head and saw an old man had appeared beside him.

The old man had come so suddenly that Qin Changqing had not detected him at all.

However, the old man did not seem substantial to Qin Changqing’s senses.

Being able to appear silently beside him, the old man must be extraordinarily powerful.

“Senior.”

Qin Changqing had a faint idea who the man was, and he slightly bowed in greeting.

The old man’s face was kind and he looked quite ordinary at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there was something extraordinary about him.

In his eyes, one could vaguely see satisfaction and joy.

“My daughter has waited nearly half an eon, and finally, she has met her devoted lover. Qin Changqing, if my daughter can successfully awaken, Ziwei Palace will be her dowry.”

The old man spoke, his voice calm.

His words clarified his identity.

This old man was none other than Zi Wei Fairy’s father, Supreme Clear Dao Master.

No wonder his gaze gave Qin Changqing the feeling of a father-in-law appraising his son-in-law.
