"Once again, you're late to the party, killing her." The demon looked at Yuan with a smirk on its face.

Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath before releasing it slowly.

"You're right. I killed her by being too slow. She died because I was too weak."

He opened his eyes, and the demon was no longer there. Instead, Yuan could see himself standing where the demon stood, almost as though the demon had transformed into his appearance.

"Finally, you're accepting the fact that you're responsible for her death." The demon's voice resounded while wearing his appearance.

"That's not right. I have accepted the fact that I couldn't protect her even before I left the Jaded Garden. I blamed myself for her death, and I still do."

"I just didn't want to deal with the guilt of killing her, and I even tried to forget about it. However, I now know that's not possible. I understand now that I will have to live with this guilt for the rest of my life."

"I need to stop dwelling on the past and start moving forward. Therefore…"

Yuan turned to look at Azure, who was no longer lying on the ground but standing a few meters away with a calm expression on her face.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't save you in time, Azure. I'm sorry that I couldn't defeat the demon fast enough. I broke my last promise to protect you, so let me make another promise to you. I promise that I will never forget you, regardless of how much pain I feel every time I think of you, and I promise you that I will never let something like this happen again."

After taking a deep breath, Yuan turned around and began walking away from the Immortal Caves.

"Yuan… Please… Don't leave me here… Didn't you promise to protect me?" Azure's voice resounded from behind him, but Yuan didn't look back and continued walking away.

"Goodbye, Azure."

Although he couldn't see it with his back turned, the scenery behind him was slowly crumbling away into the darkness.

Eventually, Yuan returned to the Stairway to Heaven.
