The palace knew Gu Zhi was feeling aggrieved and, fearing she and the Gu family might really cause trouble, they were somewhat indulgent towards her. For example, Gu Zhi hit the Crown Prince and made a scene here…
“She hates the Crown Prince, I hate the Crown Prince too, and I even hate His Majesty…”
"Aren't you afraid I'll expose you if you talk to me like this?" Su Deng narrowed her eyes.
The Sixth Princess simply smiled faintly, "If you want to sue, just say so. Guess whether His Majesty will believe you, a stranger of unknown origin, and kill his own daughter, or believe me?"
"Moreover, if you go to report this, His Majesty will investigate your background thoroughly. The Gu family protects the entire Liu family; not even a dog will survive."
“Of course, you can choose not to care about those people,” the Sixth Princess said. “Even if His Majesty believes you, he won’t kill me, the princess, but you will definitely die without a burial place.”
Su Deng: "..."
Sure enough, there were no easy characters in the palace.
To be more precise, this emperor was ruthless!
The sixth princess sighed, "His Majesty has already arranged a marriage alliance with another country. I am the eldest princess in the palace, and I will be sent away for a political marriage no later than next year..."
People in the palace have no freedom or choice.
Except for the Crown Prince.
They weren't the only ones complaining in private.
Su Deng: "..."
However, she's just a stranger, so there's no need to tell her everything, right?
Is this the role of NPCs for game players? You don't even need to ask anything; the NPCs themselves start grumbling and complaining, and then a quest pops up.
Never mind, all she needs to do now is discuss the next steps with Liu Sangua and stop the game from starting, and then everything will be over.
The sixth princess brought someone into the palace, saying she was a newly purchased palace maid. She lashed out at the palace servants who said that people entering the palace needed to be registered, and then went inside.
The Sixth Princess hid Su Deng in her residence, and no one discovered it.
The following night, he pointed out a path in the palace to the Celestial Master's Platform.
"I won't go," the Sixth Princess said, "to avoid any accidents."
Su Deng thanked her, bypassed the patrolling soldiers in the palace, entered the Celestial Master's Platform, and successfully met Liu Sangua.
At this time, Liu Sangua looked very young.
He stood in the courtyard, looking up at the moon, and said, "Su Deng, after we entered this instance, I discovered that there's no storyline control here; everything can be changed..."
Su Deng paused slightly, "What...do you mean?"
Liu Sangua said, "If I hadn't let the old Celestial Master utter that ominous divination, he might not have died, I wouldn't have become the Celestial Master, and none of the subsequent events would have happened."
"Or, I could ask him to do a divination and tell His Majesty that my good fortune has come to an end and I am an unlucky person. His Majesty will strip me of all my honors, banish me from the palace, and even the capital city. Then my family and I can be saved..."
Su Deng said in a deep voice, "Everything will be restored after the Divine Court disappears, including your dynasty and parents."
"No, it won't happen." Liu Sangua, dressed in a loose white robe, stood under the moon, surrounded by a halo of light.
He shook his head. "Su Deng, even if you are a god, you can only save the world in the present moment. The present moment in Da Jinli is more than a thousand years in the past..."
"This instance is from the A-rank otherworld game pool. After I entered the A-rank world, I found this instance and entered it more than once, even becoming addicted to it, because my family is still alive..."
"But no matter how many times I entered, I couldn't change the plot. In the end, it always led to destruction and only caused me pain. So, after I discovered the conspiracy of the Divine Court, I returned to the D-rank otherworld."
"But Su Deng, this time, I can change the story, which means I can change everything and save my family!"
Su Deng's fingers tightened slightly.
Liu Sangua turned to face Su Deng, touched his eyes, and said, "Su Deng, my eyes were really beautiful before, weren't they?"
But soon, those eyes will be gouged out, and his head will be chopped off...
"Su Deng, Divine Court Technology appeared almost three hundred years after my death. In other words, this time, I must repeat what has already happened, experiencing the annihilation of my entire family, the pain of having my eyes gouged out and my head cut off, and my soul being trapped for another three hundred years without being able to be reborn..."
"But this time, I could have changed things, I could have saved things. If I had just covered up the ominous divination and told His Majesty it was an auspicious omen, everything could have been changed..."
"Su Deng, I really miss my parents so much..."
"Su Deng, do you know that Gu Zhi died back then, and the Sixth Princess Roujia died too. Many people died, and half of them did it to help my Liu family..."
"I can change things now, I can finally change things, yet I still have to go through that heart-wrenching, hellish pain..."
"Su Deng, it's not that I'm without desires, it's just that I haven't encountered anything that makes me have desires..."
Su Deng remained silent for a long time before walking up to him, gently stroking his eyes, and speaking softly.
"Your eyes are very beautiful, and you are still young and good-looking, but you say you want to change. Can you really change?"
"Can you change what's happening now? Can you change things so you won't die again, so the game won't happen again, so you won't have to enter the game again?"
"Of course, the storyline of this game's dungeons seems to focus on the Celestial Master, and you can make your own choices. But you said I was the Chosen One back then, and now that I've finally done it, is that all you did?"
"You have your choices, and I won't stop you."
After saying her last words, Su Deng removed her hand from his eyes, turned around, and left the Celestial Master's Platform.
When they arrived at the front yard, they found an old man dressed in white with a white beard in the corridor.
Just as Su Deng was about to climb over the wall to leave, she heard the old man speak, "Outer man, now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Su Deng paused, but did not go out.
The old man continued, “The divination is false, heaven and earth are turned upside down, gods descend to earth, the Celestial Master… Nirvana…”
“Girl, come out.” He looked at the place where Su Deng was hiding. “I happen to have someone here who you would like to meet.”
He waved to the other side, and a person emerged from the darkness.
This person had black hair and wore a dark robe.
But that face was exactly the same as Yan Sizhan's...
