Chapter 288: Extra: The Immortal Heroine's Three Lives and Three Worlds
This time, Rong Zhen came to a world of three lives and three worlds of tragic love with the background of fairy tales.
The story begins when Si Wuyan, the god of war in heaven, has to descend to the mortal world to experience trials and tribulations due to his excessive killing spree, which puts him at risk.
The Emperor of Heaven did not want to lose such a powerful force, so he tried to turn the calamity of killing into a calamity of love, and used the red hydrangea in the Palace of Marriage to select a helper for him to overcome the calamity - the fairy Lingzhu who ascended to heaven through her merits.
The original plan was to have Fairy Lingzhu accompany the God of War Si Wuyan to the mortal world, and after experiencing a lifetime of love tribulations, they could return to heaven, and everyone would be happy.
Unexpectedly, Hongling, a fairy from the Marriage Palace, took advantage of the situation during the execution. She used her position to change the red string tied to Fairy Lingzhu to herself, causing the God of War Si Wuyan to be dismissive of Fairy Lingzhu's reincarnation after he came down to earth. Instead, he fell in love with Hongling who had secretly come down to earth to spy on her, and ultimately failed to overcome the calamity.
This is the first life of the plot.
After the God of War Si Wuyan failed in his tribulation and returned, his cultivation level did not improve but declined. The Emperor of Heaven investigated the reason, Hong Ling was exposed and punished, and began her second life.
But before the start of her second life, Hong Ling begged her colleagues for help and secretly replaced the mortal body of Fairy Ling Zhu, and once again became entangled with the reincarnation of the God of War Si Wuyan. The two of them achieved a happy ending by stepping on the reincarnation of Fairy Ling Zhu, but their attempt to transcend the tribulation still ended in failure.
After the return of the God of War Si Wuyan, his combat power dropped again. The Emperor of Heaven was furious and found out what Hong Ling had done. He wanted to throw her into the endless abyss, but was dissuaded by the God of War Si Wuyan, who only punished her with confinement.
In the third life, which is also the last chance to overcome the calamity of killing with the calamity of love, the Emperor of Heaven personally arranged for the God of War Si Wuyan and the Fairy Ling Zhu to come down to earth.
Hong Ling couldn't find any loophole this time, so she simply jumped off the Falling Immortal Platform holding Si Wuyan's personal jade pendant stolen from the Temple of the God of War, and transformed herself into a mortal. The jade pendant hit her face and turned into a birthmark. She was born into the mortal world as an ugly daughter of a merchant, which was very different from the God of War Si Wuyan who was reincarnated as the son of a general. Unless something unexpected happened, it was impossible for her to have any intersection with him this time and disrupt his tribulation.
But it just so happened that the birthmark on Hongling's face this time was caused by the jade pendant that the god of war Si Wuyan wore, which had an inexplicable attraction to the latter, causing him to gradually neglect his princess fiancée and would rather give up everything to be with Hongling.
In the end, the third life's attempt to transcend the tribulation still failed.
The cultivation level of the God of War Si Wuyan has been reduced to the lowest level due to the backlash, and he has to withstand the wrath of the Emperor of Heaven to protect Hong Ling, his wife for three lifetimes. Coincidentally, the demon world is attacking, and he is unable to cope with it.
At the critical moment, Fairy Lingzhu sacrificed herself to save the world, used all her merits to end the war between the two worlds, and fell into the mortal world.
The God of War Si Wuyan then realized that the one he truly loved was Fairy Lingzhu, and he was just moved by Hongling, so he volunteered to go down to earth to find Fairy Lingzhu and help her return to the immortal path and renew their previous relationship.
Hongling follows him and accompanies him in his search for Fairy Lingzhu to atone for his sins. The story ends here.
After reading it, Rong Zhen put on an expression like an old man on the subway checking his phone and asked the small system, "So the male and female protagonists this time are the God of War Si Wuyan and Hong Ling?"
"No, no, no." The system shook its head like an old scholar. "The male protagonist is the God of War Si Wuyan, yes, but the female protagonist is the Fairy Ling Zhu. Hong Ling is just the touchstone on their road to love, an important female supporting role in this three-life love story."
The plot was explained at the beginning that the Emperor of Heaven used the Red Hydrangea Ball in the Marriage Hall to find Fairy Lingzhu to help the God of War Si Wuyan overcome the tribulation. In addition to the fact that Fairy Lingzhu ascended to heaven due to her merits, the main reason was that she was the destined person for the God of War Si Wuyan as determined by the Red Hydrangea Ball.
In other words, the God of War Si Wuyan and Fairy Ling Zhu were destined to be together. After a lifetime of love tribulations, they were destined to fall in love with each other, get to know each other, and finally join forces to save the world.
Hongling's insertion was just an accident, and also a test caused by the attempt to take a shortcut to overcome the calamity. If you can overcome it, you can hide the truth and eliminate the aura of calamity, otherwise you will suffer backlash.
As a result, the God of War Si Wuyan failed to seize three consecutive opportunities. Not only did his own combat power decline due to the backlash, but he also caused the fairy Ling Zhu who came to help to experience a miserable life in the mortal world where she was trampled and abused by him and Hong Ling three times.
Fortunately, Fairy Lingzhu has a kind heart and doesn't bother with them.
But now it’s Rongzhen.
She has no masochistic tendencies and has no interest in following the plot. She is very willing to fulfill the three-life love story between the God of War Si Wuyan and Hong Ling, and help them to be together forever.
The original owner sacrificed himself without regrets, so he had no wish missions, only the few points for the plot missions. Rong Zhen planned to give up directly this time and concentrate on cultivating himself with the background of the world of immortal heroes.
After all, she had spent a lot of luck and soul power to fight for this world. The points she earned from completing the story missions were not enough to offset the cost, so she simply gave up.
Her main purpose was to take advantage of the situation and accumulate resources to lay the foundation for her future cultivation.
When she regained consciousness after entering the mission world, she was tending to herbs in a fairy medicine garden surrounded by bamboo forests when the fairy servants of Lingxiao Palace came to inform her.
"Fairy Lingzhu, the Emperor of Heaven invites you."
When Rong Zhen heard this, she knew that this was the beginning of the plot. The Emperor of Heaven summoned her to help Si Wuyan overcome the calamity.
"Wait a moment, I'll put this batch of elixirs away."
Otherwise, he would have to give Hongling, who came to steal the medicine, some advantage in the future to help her heal the trauma of coming to the mortal world without permission and interfering in other people's disasters.
According to the rules of heaven, those who come to the mortal world without following the formal procedures and those who privately disturb others' tribulation will have to pay the price, otherwise there will be chaos in heaven and on earth.
After collecting the mature immortal medicines and replenishing the next batch, Rong Zhen also set up many restrictions on the bamboo forest medicine garden. Only after doing all this did he go to the Lingxiao Palace with the immortal servant who had been waiting for a long time.
The heavenly palace here is even more magnificent than the immortal world Rong Zhen had visited before. It belongs to another level of shocking beauty. Looking around, the fairy palace is located above the sea of clouds, immortals shuttle among them, cranes and auspicious beasts appear and disappear from time to time, and there is a fairy air and fairy music everywhere, which is not like the mortal world.
Rong Zhen admired the fairyland scenery along the way, and in a blink of an eye, he stepped on the clouds and arrived at the Lingxiao Palace.
There was no one in the hall yet, only the Emperor of Heaven whose face was covered by a crown and a red hydrangea floating and rolling in front of him.
"Your Majesty, why did you ask Ling Zhu to come here?" Rong Zhen bowed and asked the question even though he knew the answer.
The Emperor of Heaven looked at her and said thoughtfully, "This matter needs to wait for the arrival of the God of War."
Si Wuyan arrived late, and he was just as described in the plot, tall and strong, with extraordinary aura, and he also had a very handsome face, otherwise how could he have provoked the fairy from the Marriage Palace to insist on following him even at the cost of violating the heavenly rules.
Rong Zhen was not too fond of this. He glanced at her and then looked away, waiting for the Emperor to speak.
The Emperor of Heaven first talked about the need for the God of War to descend to the mortal world to overcome the tribulation. In order to prevent the heaven from losing this fighting power and giving the demon world an opportunity to take advantage, he found a destined marriage for Si Wuyan through the red hydrangea, and accompanied him to descend to the mortal world to overcome the tribulation.
Si Wuyan accepted this well. There was a shortcut, so who would want to choose a path that would involve a high risk of death?
In the plot, the original owner had no objection for the sake of justice.
The one who had objections was Rong Zhen. After hearing this, she said, "Your Majesty, could you please let Xiaoxian use the red hydrangea?"
Judging from the plot of the three lives, she strongly suspected that Si Wuyan's true destiny was actually Hong Ling, not Fairy Ling Zhu.
There was a high probability that Red Hydrangea had made a mistake, and she had to help correct it.
Si Wuyan frowned and opened his mouth to say something.
The Emperor of Heaven waved his hand and the red ball flew in front of Rong Zhen, allowing her to operate it.
Rong Zhen possesses the original owner's memories. She takes the red hydrangea and uses her magic power to personally confirm the original owner's destiny.
The red hydrangeas immediately shone brightly and gathered in the air to form a blushing and heart-pounding scene.
Inside the ancient and restrained palace, a female fairy in green was pinned down on a couch by a tall man. Their postures were intimate and their movements were affectionate, which stunned the three people present.
It was the man who was one of the parties involved who reacted first. He seemed to have noticed something, turned his head halfway and waved his hand, and the picture suddenly stopped and disappeared in mid-air.
Rong Zhen quickly regained consciousness. "Your Majesty, according to the hint given by Hong Xiuqiu, although I couldn't clearly see who Xiaoxian's destiny was, it's clearly not His Highness the God of War."
Although I didn't see the man's face, his figure and back were there, which was obviously inconsistent with Si Wuyan.
She hoped that the Emperor of Heaven would confirm who Si Wuyan's destined marriage was.
The original owner might be, but she definitely wouldn’t be after she came.
Si Wuyan looked at Rong Zhen fiercely: "Who was the man in the picture just now?" He felt like he was betrayed.
Rongzhen almost rolled her eyes at him, "How would Xiaoxian know? That's something that will happen in the future."
"The situation has changed." The Emperor of Heaven interrupted their bickering and recalled Red Hydrangea to command Si Wuyan to release a wisp of immortal energy and blood essence in order to achieve the most accurate judgment.
Si Wuyan did as he was told and witnessed with his own eyes how the red hydrangea kept flickering after absorbing his immortal energy and blood, and finally revealed with difficulty a charming face that was completely different from that of Fairy Ling Zhu.
"Who is this?" Si Wuyan had never seen this person before.
Rongzhen recognized that it was Hongling. Having achieved her goal, she stopped talking and stood aside, staying out of the matter.
The Emperor of Heaven took out the Record of Immortals and confirmed the identity of the God of War's new destiny - Hong Ling, a fairy from the Marriage Palace.
"Then let her accompany you to the mortal world to experience the tribulations." The Emperor of Heaven made the final decision and did not object to the on-the-spot replacement.
But Si Wuyan objected.
Hongling has no merits, so even if she accompanies him to the mortal world, she will only become the object of his love tribulation, but cannot guarantee that he can successfully overcome the tribulation.
Therefore, he not only needs someone to help him transcend the tribulation, but also a protector who is full of merits.
If he chooses Hong Ling for the former, he hopes Ling Zhu will take on the latter role, and both of them will accompany him to the mortal world to overcome the tribulation.
Rongzhen: ...
I have never seen such a shameless person!
Using the calamity of love to overcome the calamity of killing is a shortcut, but he still needs to take many precautions. No wonder it didn't play any role later and it was a waste of the Emperor of Heaven's cultivation.
However, Si Wuyan did not have such awareness and his request was justified.
The Emperor looked at Rong Zhen and let her make the decision herself.
Rong Zhen originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing Si Wuyan's attitude that was as if it was a matter of course and would not be negotiated, she changed her mind.
You can ask her to help, but in exchange, you can get a hundred years of resources from the Temple of War!
Si Wuyan just wanted to get something for free, so he tried to persuade her with righteousness: "This is all for the heaven, how can you be so petty?"
Rong Zhen refused to budge: "If I were really fussy, I wouldn't have agreed to help you take a shortcut. It should have been a killing calamity, but you turned it into a love calamity. How can you not pay a price?"
A hundred years is but a blink of an eye for the gods, and a hundred years of resources is just a drop in the bucket for the Temple of War God. There is nothing to be reluctant about.
At least Rongzhen didn't ask him for a thousand years.
Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven also agreed to this matter and signed a contract with them at Rong Zhen's request.
The century-old resources were passed on the spot, and Rong Zhen happily accepted them, rarely giving Si Wuyan a good face.
Si Wuyan turned his face away and called Hongling over.
Hongling has long been deeply in love with him. Not to mention just accompanying him to the mortal world to experience tribulations, she would be willing to sacrifice her life for him. Moreover, asking her to be the object of the male god's tribulation is a great thing sent from heaven, how could she refuse?
Hongling agreed with surprise and excitement, without asking for any benefit at all, and volunteered to pay for it.
The two were bound together by a red thread in the Marriage Hall and reincarnated into the mortal world, beginning their love in the first life.
This time, Hongling doesn't have to sneak down to the mortal world to spy on her lover. She will be reincarnated as Lingzhu Fairy's original identity, a young lady from a noble family who, by chance, saves the prince of the current dynasty who is in trouble.
In the original plot, after the eldest daughter of a noble family saved the prince, the prince returned to the court safely but found the wrong savior. He mistook Hongling, who had come to the mortal world to practice magic, as the person who saved him. In order to repay her by marrying her, he madly abused the eldest daughter of a noble family who was betrothed to him since childhood, and wanted to force the latter to cancel the engagement voluntarily.
The ending is naturally that the prince gets what he wants, the eldest daughter of the aristocratic family is reduced to dust, and her family is destroyed. Before she dies, she asks the prince if he remembers that she saved his life.
The prince argued, "I already know the truth, but Hongling is the one I love. If you want to repay me for my kindness, I would rather never have been saved by you."
The eldest daughter of aristocratic family died unwillingly.
Now, Hongling has become the eldest daughter of a noble family, so she naturally saved the injured prince who was lying on the roadside.
Rong Zhen watched from stealth as she ordered people to carry the prince into the carriage and drove away, looking forward to what their ending would be this time.
"I thought you would be reincarnated with me." The Emperor of Heaven appeared beside her at some point and suddenly spoke to attract her attention.
Rong Zhen withdrew his gaze and looked over in surprise. He still couldn't see the face and expression blocked by the crown, but it did not prevent the oppressive force caused by the other person's tall figure.
Even though he had intentionally restrained his momentum, people still dared not treat him lightly.
Fortunately, Rong Zhen had experience. After a brief moment of distraction, he regained his composure and replied, "Who says a guardian must accompany someone in their reincarnation? Wouldn't it be more convenient to provide support this way?"
She promised to help, so no matter how she does it, as long as she helps, it's fine.
She still needs to collect resources, but doesn't want to waste time reincarnating. The identity of a fairy is more convenient for her to move around, so of course she can't just abandon it.
Before coming down, she had privately asked other fairies to help issue a notice, saying that those who wanted merit could prepare natural treasures and wait for her to return to exchange them.
The original owner's merits were so attractive that it was hard to say that what happened to her in the plot was not caused by others' coveting of her merits. Rather than letting Si Wuyan or others get the benefit, it would be better to let Rong Zhen get the benefit.
As for what to do when saving the world.
Since Si Wuyan was chosen as the savior and enjoyed the benefits of being a savior, it is natural for him to contribute in the end.
If you can't contribute, then you have to sacrifice your life. You can't let others enjoy the blessing or do the work, right?
One day in heaven is one year on earth. The time latitudes of the fairyland and the mortal world are different, and the flow rate felt by the fairies is also different.
It took only two sentences for Rong Zhen to exchange with the Emperor of Heaven, and Si Wuyan had already completed the plot of being rescued by the eldest daughter of a noble family and successfully admitting that he was her savior.
Yes, even without Hongling's extra interference, Si Wuyan still mistook the person for someone else.
However, this time, the person he admitted his mistake to was not a fairy with magical powers, but the apple of the eye of the prime minister.
Although the eldest daughter of a noble family has a good family background, she is the unfavored daughter of the original wife. She is not loved by her father and disliked by her mother's family. Apart from a share of her deceased mother's dowry, she can't bring any benefits. She is the least favored candidate for marriage among the upper-class nobles, not to mention the prince.
The eldest daughter of a noble family, incarnated by Hongling, fell in love with the person she rescued at first sight, and magnificently repeated the original owner's path of abuse.
At the end, the truth was revealed, and the prince said the same thing to her cruelly and heartlessly: "If you want to repay me with a favor, then I would rather never have been saved by you!"
From this we can see that it was not the person who saved him who was wrong, but he himself was heartless.
The eldest daughter of aristocratic family had no interests of her own, so even if she saved the prince and loved him sincerely, she would not get any return from him, not even a trace of pity or help.
"Failed."
The Emperor of Heaven shook his head regretfully, and without waiting for Si Wuyan to escape from his dead body, he flicked his finger and sent him to the next life.
This saves Rongzhen the trouble of going back and forth between heaven and earth.
But one guy never left, and she couldn't help but ask him, "Your Majesty, don't you need to go back to the Heavenly Palace to take care of business?"
You're actually wasting time here with her, are you free?
