Meanwhile, the contents inside the body were becoming increasingly turbulent, almost bursting out of the body.
"ah……"
Just then, his body burst open, and liquid spilled all over the ground.
If it weren't for this bead, Shen Hua's entire body would be covered in it right now.
The thing that rushed out actually broke apart under the light of the bead.
There stood a person inside, someone who was both familiar and unfamiliar to Chen Hua.
She looks exactly like Xie Sichen, but upon closer inspection, she also bears some resemblance to herself, especially when she smiles; they are identical.
"Who are you?" Shen Hua asked.
But at this moment, the person who looked like Xie Sichen shattered, turning into half a heart, which merged into his own heart.
Chen Hua: ...
A sharp pain shot through her, followed by memories that made her want to die, and memories of Xie Sichen.
At that time, he didn't have this name yet; he only had one character, Chen. People who knew him called him Emperor Chen.
One person manages every blade of grass and every tree, but she is neither a blade of grass nor a tree; she is someone he created out of boredom using stones and half of his heart.
That stone was no ordinary stone; it was a flawless stone that he extracted from the summit of a snow-capped mountain, beyond a volcano, in a bottomless abyss.
Legend has it that whoever obtains this stone can acquire everything, including immortality, the world, and so-called invincible divine power.
But who says the rumors are false? It's all true, but it requires half of his heart to be integrated, because he was meant to be a god in this world.
From as far back as she could remember, she became his disciple, his only student. He taught her to recognize objects, cultivate herself, and to be happy and laugh.
He took her all over the world, but never let her see a single drop of blood.
Later, she grew up, made new friends, and came back less and less often.
But he wouldn't allow that to happen, because it was too dangerous outside, and everyone was eyeing his little apprentice covetously, all for the things in those rumors.
She wasn't without her own enemies; if she left him, something bad would happen.
Later, she disliked this kind of life, had a big fight with him, abandoned her body, and entered into a family, experiencing all sorts of things in an instant.
Everyone said she was cold-blooded, but little did they know that she only had half a heart, which she returned when they parted.
She left not because she was tired of that kind of life, but because she loved it so much. She saw everything he secretly endured, and it was because of her that he was hurt time and time again.
Actually, he didn't drink the tea when he became her disciple that day. She saw it, so he wasn't her master, but rather a god in her heart.
God gave her everything, yet she dared to be greedy and ended up harming God.
The heart is only so big; if half of it is missing, how can it beat?
On the city wall, she was dressed in red and said "I'm sorry".
It was my own fault for being so greedy, filling my heart to the brim so that it could hold nothing else.
Only after leaping down did she realize that perhaps she shouldn't have appeared in the first place; attempting to meddle with the gods deserved punishment.
This punishment is more painful than being burned by fire, colder than being swept by the wind, and more despairing than being plunged into an abyss.
Because! She's leaving him.
Before she died, she cast a spell, a spell to remove all the enemies of her god. She would use her remaining sanity to trap them, to be his eyes, his weapons.
Below the city gate, countless people were dissatisfied, and there were unbearable insults; above the city gate, dark clouds gathered and heavy rain poured down.
This wind was colder than the cold wind, and it made it impossible to open one's eyes.
She was heartless, because the half of her heart that had been in love had already returned to her god.
Therefore, she doesn't blame those people, because they just lack a breakthrough point, because this is what the world is all about, this is what chaos is all about.
She closed her eyes and let her body fall. This body of hers was about to be sacrificed, and all this time had been premeditated.
The phrase "all aspects of human life" is merely a formality. How can someone without a heart truly experience the full spectrum of human life?
"I'm sorry, but atop that snow-capped mountain, beyond that volcano, in the depths of that abyss, after my death, there is a spring that can cleanse the soul and allow you to return to your true self."
These words were a curse, and also the only thing she could offer. He would receive them, and it was her last wish.
As she closed her eyes, she saw him, and he caught her, blocking out the noise of the crowd. The dark clouds dispersed, and the sunlight shone in. Was this a final burst of energy before death?
She didn't know how much time had passed when she regained consciousness and learned that her name was Chen Hua and that she possessed many abilities; this moment was her greatest.
Who are you?
For some reason, just from those words, tears started falling from her eyes. She was so startled that she quickly covered them with her hands, worried that he would laugh at her, as she still cared a lot about her reputation.
"You're just a passerby. You've been unconscious here for days. Now that you're awake, leave!"
"Oh! My narcolepsy might be acting up again. Thank you for taking care of me for so long. Here, this is for you."
This was the only thing she found on her that she thought was really good, so she considered it payment.
After giving it to them, they left.
Emperor Chen looked at the bead, placed it in his hand, and squeezed it tightly.
Oh well, it might just be a fleeting connection. I'll keep it as a personal favor.
After Shen Hua's figure disappeared, he spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his body began to go out of control.
He used himself as a catalyst to set up a magic circle, causing him to perish together with it, thus eliminating the danger in the world, and making her the most powerful being.
"Bang."
Shen Hua turned around and saw a firework explode where the person had been. She ran over quickly, but the person had already disappeared.
She clutched her chest, feeling an emptiness, as if there was nothing inside, not even the sound of her heart beating.
Later, she traveled to many places, raised a little white fox, and came to a village where she saw a young boy being bullied. She couldn't resist helping him out.
She then turned to leave, but in the village she saw a very talented young boy and decided to take him as her apprentice, so she stayed.
Her disciple was very likable and diligent in his cultivation, which made her very fond of him. So whenever she saw something suitable, she would bring it to him.
The young boy she had saved was often by her side, and he also wanted to become her disciple, but she refused.
Aside from her apprentice, people always call her Su Ruo when they ask her name, because she had encountered people looking for her before, and she didn't know whether they were friends or foes. She would change her name wherever she went.
Su Ruo is the name she used the longest.
Later, when they both grew up, Shen Hua had taught them enough. She gave them some cultivation books and left. It seemed like something happened in the village that day, but she didn't look back.
