Chapter 281 A Smile Across a Thousand Years
Morning vanished.
Night fell all at once.
The sword beneath the boy at the front disappeared in a flash, and he dropped into the sea of clouds like a butterfly slipping from a branch.
Gasps rose from every corner of the arena.
StarNet comments tore across the livestream like a storm.
Then one clear “awoo” rang through the entire venue.
The sky burst into stars.
Thousands of silver lights fell for the boy alone.
It was as if the wolf was saying, Go on. Run. Leap. Fall as far as you want. I will always catch you.
The boy raised a hand and rubbed the wolf cub’s fluffy head.
Then, wrapped in endless starlight, he turned in midair, stepped onto a silver star-point, drifted back onto his sword, and looked back beneath countless stunned gazes.
In that instant, amid immortal peaks and misty cloud seas, rogue cultivator Julian Shaw crossed a thousand years and all the lonely nights he had walked alone.
He saw the one watching him from the main platform.
That foolish, hopeless Alpha.
Sect Leader Orion.
Orion Ashford.
No preparation.
No thought.
The boy simply smiled.
Beautiful enough to outshine the immortal mountains.
Brighter than all the stars above him.
Whose heart had moved?
Orion laughed softly.
Oh.
13:13 Tue, Jul
sa Years
It was mine.
One startled glance.
One smile across a thousand years.
The moment Julian looked back and smiled, the entire Abyssal Dome Arena fell silent.
The livestream comments froze for three seconds.
Then the celebration reached its loudest peak since it began.
Countless StarNet users became screaming octopuses and shrieking chickens in the comments.
[Who recorded that? Hand it over!]
[Aaaaah, gif! My loyal subjects, bring me the gif right now!]
[Useless hands! You are mature hands now. Why didn’t you screenshot that?]
[I hereby declare Little Master Julian my wife. Draw your swords, everyone!]
[Wuwuwuwu, Little Master Julian is too beautiful. Are you really not an Omega? What else are you hiding from us?]

Under the desperate cries of countless viewers, the gif of Little Master Julian looking back with that smile shot straight to the top of the trending list.
People across endless distance were licking their screens.
But the cadets, famous alumni, and leaders at the scene had seen it more clearly.
They had also felt the impact far more directly.
“Oh my God. Even immortals could not look better than that…”
Leon Rowe’s mouth hung wide open. At that moment, he looked almost identical to his husky spirit form.
He had always known Little Master Julian was pretty.
Old Duke Nolan’s eyes lit.
How could he not understand his own grandson?
Since childhood, Louis had never stayed interested in anything for long. His interest in people lasted even less.
Outsiders called him promiscuous.
His family knew he simply had not played enough and never wanted to settle down.
Now it was different.
Since Louis could make that promise to him, then for Julian, Louis would truly settle.
If he said ten years, he would behave for at least ten years.
With those ten years, perhaps there would be fifteen.
Twenty.

In any case, Old Duke Nolan was satisfied.
The more he looked at Julian descending from the immortal sword, the more he liked him.
This had to be his grandson-in-law.
So the old duke did not hesitate. He opened his wrist terminal and sent his intention to Gideon Whitmore.
The instant Gideon saw the message, complicated feelings filled him.
“Silent for years, then startling the world in one strike…
Gideon turned off the terminal.
Old Duke Nolan was not the only one.
Several old family friends had already sent messages, openly or subtly asking about this wonderful grandson of his.
