Lü Shu etched the one hundred and first mark on the calendar.
This marked the number of times he had seen Su Ming'an over the long twenty years. Most of the time, they would meet every few months, but there were also years when they hadn't met.
The most vivid memory he had was from 2035 to 2040 when Su Ming'an did not appear for a full five years.
Those years were peaceful, calmer compared to the turbulent times, but everyone knew this peace was established by Su Ming'an. He must have adjusted countless times to lead the world onto the most peaceful path.
The day he returned, Su Ming'an landed on a neon sign shrouded in misty shadows, overlooking the bustling city that resembled a forest park. As he gazed down at the city lights, he truly sensed the changes of the world. He hadn't intended to take so long to return, but he had increasingly adapted to his identity as a deity, causing his perception of time and space to blur.
