Hua recalled those graves and couldn't help but ask Chu Yu curiously, "Chu Yu, why are there so many fox clan graves in Yin Ji Tomb?"

"And why did Gin-hime give up becoming a god in the first place?"

Especially the second one, Hua really wanted to know. She just couldn't understand it. She was so close to becoming a god, yet she gave it up so willingly, throwing away so many years of hard work just like that...

After pondering for a moment, Chu Yu said, "According to the records in the Six Realms Record, everything is because of the word 'love'."

"Affection?"

"It is said that Yin Ji once had a partner with whom she was very loving. The two spent many years together. In order to stay together for a long time, they cultivated very hard, just to achieve divine bodies together."

However, at the final moment of becoming a god, something went wrong...

The Heart-Questioning is the final step to becoming a god. After passing it, one only needs to wait quietly for the divine passage to open, and one will have an endless lifespan. At that time, Yin Ji went through a lot of trouble to pass the Heart-Questioning.

However, her partner, Feng Yi, did not survive.

The test of self-examination amplifies the desires deep within the cultivator's heart, including power and love, and each person's desires are different.

Feng Yi's problem was love. He and Yin Ji had been together since childhood, and both of them thought he could overcome it easily. However, from the day he opened the door to love, everything changed...

During one of his trials in the mortal realm, Feng Yi saved a mortal princess. From the very first meeting, the princess was completely captivated by the handsome and highly skilled Feng Yi.

Later, after learning that Feng Yi was not human, her affection for him became even more apparent. After all, she was a sheltered princess who had grown up in the deep palace and had never seen the outside world, and suddenly she encountered a great hero who had fallen from the sky.

This great hero was young, handsome, and elegant. In addition, he was highly skilled in martial arts and had a mysterious background. The princess quickly fell in love with Feng Yi.

Feng Yi has been with Yin Ji since he was young. Yin Ji is even more competitive than him, and their skills are comparable. Therefore, it is impossible for Yin Ji to admire him as a great hero like a human princess does.

But when a woman appeared who was completely devoted to him and who was entirely different from Yin Ji, his Dao heart was quickly thrown into turmoil.

By the time Yin Ji realized it, it was too late. Feng Yi had already fallen completely in love with the human princess, so much so that he was willing to give up becoming a god for her.

Feng Yi, who was only half a step away from becoming a god, knew from the first time he met the human princess that his final hurdle to becoming a god was the tribulation of love, and the person in front of him was his tribulation.

However, if emotions could be controlled, they wouldn't be called a calamity; what can be controlled is not emotion.

Feng Yi has fallen hopelessly in love with the human princess.

Gin-hee was heartbroken and went through a very difficult time with her conscience, but she eventually got through it.

After all, while Feng Yi was important in her life, the path to godhood that she had been pursuing for so many years was even more important. She was not a naive young woman and would not be foolish enough to give up her path for a man.

However, sometimes things just don't go as planned.

Feng Yi and the human princess were together for only three years before she passed away. Unwilling to accept this, Feng Yi plotted to resurrect her using evil magic.

Resurrection is an act against the heavens, it's not something that can be done easily. Feng Yi searched through ancient books before finally finding a way.

He takes the heart of a nine-tailed fox, uses it as a catalyst, and then uses spiritual power to nurture it. After ten years, his lover will be able to be reborn.

At that time, the only remaining nine-tailed fox in the entire demon realm was Yin Ji, and her clan also possessed the purest nine-tailed fox bloodline.

Feng Yi was as if he were bewitched at that time.

In order to save the human princess, he devised a plan to entangle Yin Ji. One night, when the fox clan was completely unprepared for him, he massacred more than a thousand fox clan members and cruelly ripped out their fox hearts.

By the time Yin Ji realized something was wrong and rushed back, it was too late; their nine-tailed fox clan had been almost completely wiped out.

Through the reenactment of the magical scene, Yin Ji saw the person she had never doubted. Filled with grief and hatred, Yin Ji searched for Feng Yi for ten whole years, and finally met the murderer who had slaughtered her clan on a bright and sunny day.

He gently embraced a woman, and the two walked towards her chatting and laughing. Seeing the woman's protruding belly, Yin Ji felt that the sunlight today was so bright it hurt her eyes.

Upon noticing Yin Ji, Feng Yi quickly shielded the human princess behind him.

"Gin-hime, if you have a problem, come at me!"

Yin Ji looked at the person in front of her, feeling as if she had never met him before, and gave a bitter laugh, "Coming for you?"

"Is your worthless life enough to compensate?"

Feng Yi had foreseen this day when he made his move. He firmly protected the human princess and looked at Yin Ji, saying, "She is pregnant. The child in her womb is innocent. If you kill her, you will commit a heinous crime!"

Feng Yi looked at the silent Yin Ji and continued, "You finally passed the test of your heart. Soon the God Realm will open the passage to guide you, and then you will be the high and mighty Goddess Yin Ji!"

“But if you kill her, you should be well aware of the consequences.”

Yin Ji remained silent throughout, and Feng Yi believed he had her weakness firmly in his grasp.

"Gin-hime, you don't want all your years of hard work on becoming a god to go to waste at the last moment, do you?"

However, he underestimated Eun-hee's hatred for him, and he also underestimated Eun-hee's love for her people.

Before Feng Yi could finish speaking, the woman next to her was instantly killed by a sword to the throat, so fast that Feng Yi had no time to stop it.

While Feng Yi was speaking, Yin Ji was already looking for an opportunity. When the time came, she made her move without hesitation.

Seeing his lover, who had just been tenderly facing him, fall straight down, Feng Yi broke down completely.

"Mu Qing!!!"

Feng Yi's eyes were bloodshot, his pupils filled with red veins, his eyeballs looking as if they were about to burst. He put Mu Qing's body down, slowly stood up, looked at Yin Ji, and said, word by word, "Yin Ji! I never expected you to be so ruthless!"

"She's pregnant!"

Why can't you just let her go?

"Mu Qing is dead, so you can forget about becoming a god in this lifetime!"

Silver Princess smiled bitterly.

"Me, cruel?"

"Ha, you should have known this day would come when you slaughtered my entire clan!"

"As for becoming a god?"

"I stopped caring a long time ago."

After Yin Ji finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Feng Yi, her long sword pointing directly at him.

"You're next!"

The two fought for three days and three nights. In the end, Yin Ji finally killed Feng Yi, but she was also seriously injured. When she managed to return to the cemetery she had built for her people, she could no longer hold on.

The nine-tailed celestial fox, Gin-hime, has perished...
