Chapter 289: Extra: A Sadistic Love, a Different Path
"There's nothing major happening in the Heaven Realm right now. The most important thing right now is to ensure the War God successfully overcomes the tribulation."
The Emperor of Heaven answered in a serious and righteous manner.
Rong Zhen didn't believe it in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She rolled her eyes and tried to negotiate with him: "With you here, you don't need me. How about this..."
He stayed here and watched while she went back to gather resources?
In fact, what she wanted to say more was that since he had the time to come down to earth and watch Si Wuyan overcome the tribulation, why did he still need her to be his protector?
If it is for her merits, could it be that the merits of the great Emperor of Heaven are less than hers?
Rongzhen didn't understand the reason behind this and just wanted to take the opportunity to be lazy and do her own thing.
"Let me go back with you." The Emperor left without hesitation and took Rong Zhen with him.
Rongzhen: "...Aren't you supposed to watch?"
The Emperor of Heaven said that it can be seen the same way from heaven.
Rong Zhen then looked at the Haotian Mirror in the Emperor's bedroom, which could see anyone and everything in the mortal world, and silently filled his head with question marks.
With such a treasure, why would she need to come down to earth in person?
The Emperor of Heaven cast aside the majestic and domineering aura he had displayed in the High Heaven Palace, lazily reclining on his couch and explaining, "It was placed in my bedroom to suppress the aura of the heavens, and it's generally not accessible to outsiders."
"What about now?" How could it be convenient for her to come in and check? Rong Zhen had more questions.
The Emperor of Heaven stared at her for a moment, then suddenly took off his crown, revealing a divine face with eyebrows flying into her temples and eyes like stars. He smiled gently, captivating her soul.
Then he asked her, "Does this place feel familiar to you?"
Rong Zhen did look familiar. Thinking carefully, her eyes suddenly widened. "The scene that the red hydrangea triggered..."
The layout of the hall in that picture is almost the same as the bedroom in front of him, with only some differences in specific items.
What does this mean?
Rongzhen guessed the answer, but couldn't believe it, and subconsciously wanted to step back.
The person on the couch appeared behind her, chuckled, and leaned closer: "I never thought that you and I would be so intimate."
Rong Zhen quickly dodged, "Have you realized that the man in the picture is you?"
"It's my own image, how could I have mistaken it?" The Emperor of Heaven stood up and sat back on the couch, waving at her: "Come and look at the Haotian Mirror together."
Rongzhen walked over slowly, staying as far away from the couch as possible.
The Emperor of Heaven did not force it any more. He threw a glittering jade ring in his hand and watched the changes in the Haotian Mirror.
Rong Zhen's eyes were immediately caught by the jade ring, and she couldn't help but take a few steps forward. While watching the progress of the plot on the Haotian Mirror, she drooled at the jade ring in the Emperor's hand.
Si Wuyan and Hong Ling's second life is already halfway through. It is a typical tragic love story where the bickering couple turns into enemies, and their childhood sweethearts cannot resist the curse of fate. They only resolve many misunderstandings before they die, and finally they are separated forever. The man misses the woman's lifelong love while he is in wealth and prosperity with many children.
When the original owner was the heroine, she was abused terribly in this life. Hongling, as her true love from heaven, caused her a lot of troubles and added to her suffering. Until the truth was revealed, not only did she not get the end she deserved, but she was also married into the family by the male protagonist in the name of revenge, and gave her a name, heirs and status. He just didn't love her and punished her like this for the rest of her life.
In this regard, Rongzhen just wanted to call the male lead an idiot.
What kind of good person would seek revenge like this? Is this revenge? Is this repaying a favor?
Now Hongling is the heroine, and someone else plays the role of true love from heaven. Si Wuyan has not abused her any less. I wonder if Lord God of War will still find such a relationship between husband and wife precious.
"useless."
The Emperor of Heaven commented on the result of the second life, and immediately started the third and final life.
In this life, Si Wuyan is a young general, and Hongling is his princess fiancée. Without the ugly merchant's daughter who has an inexplicable attraction to the young general, the two of them should have been able to go smoothly to the end, but they still did not have a good ending.
The emperor wanted to take back the military power of the general's mansion through the princess. The young general was naturally prejudiced against the princess and regarded the princess's love and flattery as a conspiracy. He deliberately found a true love of low status to annoy her in order to resist the royal calculations. The ending can be imagined.
The princess died of miscarriage due to a misunderstanding after being beaten with a stick. The young general hugged his true love who had gotten rid of his anger and lived happily. Three months later, he remembered to ask his subordinates whether the princess admitted her mistake.
The subordinate told him that the princess had been beaten to death more than three months ago. A jade pendant fell from her body before her death. It seemed to be the style that the master liked to wear when he was young.
The young general then realized that the princess was sincere to him and was filled with regret. The emperor, who wanted to settle the score with him, confiscated his property and exterminated his clan. He rushed to the underworld to apologize to the princess.
Rongzhen nodded as she watched.
Although the plot of this life is still heartbreaking, at least the ending is good. The young general paid the price for his actions, and it is not as weird as the second life.
"Your Majesty, is the flow of time in your bedroom faster than in heaven?" Rong Zhen finally discovered the blind spot after reading it.
She felt that she had not been in the palace for long before the Haotian Mirror finished playing the three-life love story of Si Wuyan and Hong Ling. It was agreed that one day in heaven would be one year on earth.
The Emperor of Heaven waved his hand to shut down the Haotian Mirror's detection, then stood up and said, "Well, now that three months have passed outside, Si Wuyan and the others will be back soon, let's go out."
Rong Zhen thought to herself, "As expected," and followed him out of the bedroom as she agreed.
The Palace Guards stood there silently, indifferent to Hongling's sobbing apology.
Seeing Tiandi and Rongzhen walk out of the back hall one after another, his expression changed. He broke the silence and asked in disbelief: "You, you guys?"
Rong Zhen immediately stated, "Let me make it clear first, I'm not slacking off. Although I didn't come down to the mortal world with you, I'm keeping a close eye on your every move through Your Majesty's Haotian Mirror to ensure that no accidents occur."
So it is impossible to get a refund.
Si Wuyan didn't mean that, but when he saw the indifferent look of the Emperor of Heaven, he instinctively suppressed the doubts and suspicions that arose in his heart and didn't dare to speak rashly.
"Si Wuyan." The change in the Emperor's address startled him. He immediately collected his thoughts and bowed his head, waiting for his instructions.
Even Hongling consciously shrank her head and dared not make any more mournful cries.
In the silence, the words of the Emperor of Heaven reached the eardrums of everyone present.
"Si Wuyan, your three lifetimes of tribulations have all ended in failure. Your cultivation and combat power have both dropped to the lowest point. You are no longer qualified to be the God of War. You must resign and move out of the God of War Temple immediately."
"Your Majesty..." Si Wuyan still wanted to fight for himself, but after thinking about it, he found that he had no bargaining chips.
The failure of the three lives of love backfired, exhausting his cultivation and causing him to suffer complete defeat.
He did not dare to admit his own incompetence and could only direct his hatred towards Hong Ling, who caused his failure in the tribulation.
He also took his anger out on Rong Zhen, but because Si Wuyan saw her coming out of the Emperor's bedroom and the two of them were suspected of having some kind of relationship, he did not dare to touch the tiger's beard and make his situation worse.
"You should go back and meditate to gain enlightenment. Someone else will take on the responsibility of the God of War." The Emperor of Heaven waved his hand to interrupt Si Wuyan's hesitation.
Si Wuyan could only bow and take his leave: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hongling followed in panic.
There was no place for her in the Marriage Palace anymore. Apart from following Si Wuyan, she didn't know where else to go in heaven.
From then on, Rong Zhen no longer paid any attention to the two of them. He was busy using his merits to exchange for the world's natural treasures, rare treasures and stones, filling up his small world bit by bit.
The Emperor of Heaven would occasionally come and give her some things, which she could not get from other gods.
Rongzhen found it hard to refuse, but she didn't sell herself out for these things.
The Emperor of Heaven simply didn't force her and just wanted to get along with her like a frog in boiling water.
Such peaceful days continued until the demon world attacked and the war between heaven and demon broke out. The position of God of War was still empty. No one could pass the test of the Temple of War to become the new God of War in heaven, not even Si Wuyan who resigned from the position of God of War.
So when the war came, the Emperor of Heaven had to intervene personally.
His stunning sword move destroyed the main force of the demon world, and also opened the door to his five decays.
The strength of the Emperor of Heaven is obviously much stronger than the former God of War Si Wuyan, but he cannot act easily. He only exists as the stabilizer of the heaven.
Because the combat power ceiling here does not need to be too high. Once he takes action and is exposed, it will inevitably lead to the reckoning of heaven.
Immortals cannot live forever, and their lifespan is limited. They just live longer than mortals.
After countless years, the Emperor of Heaven finally had his day to return.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know about this." After learning the news, Rongzhen took the initiative to come to him to express her apology for the first time.
Although she didn't think it was her fault.
The Emperor of Heaven naturally understood and shook his head, saying, "This has nothing to do with you. You don't need to apologize."
□□Zhen always feels a little guilty.
If she had not been unwilling to sacrifice herself according to the plot, perhaps the Emperor of Heaven would not have had to initiate the Five Degenerations of Heaven.
Now that the calamity in heaven is over, her merits are no longer needed to save the world, so it would be better to give them to him.
"Your Majesty, can you give me the resources you have?"
Rong Zhen changed the subject a little too quickly. The Emperor was stunned when he heard it, and then he took out a small and exquisite brocade bag from his body without thinking.
Inside the brocade bag is a pair of jingle bracelets. There are not many resources in the bracelets, but they are all the best of the best. Any one of them is more useful than all the resources Rong Zhen has collected so far.
He gave it generously, so Rongzhen couldn't be stingy.
"In return, Your Majesty, please close your eyes."
These words made the Emperor of Heaven smile, and his godly smile was quite touching.
Then, he obediently closed his eyes without asking Rongzhen what she wanted to do, perhaps with some expectations in his heart.
After he closed his eyes, Rong Zhen did not do anything bad. Instead, she pointed a finger at his brow. A golden light flashed, and the merits in her body began to flow from her fingertips to him like a tide.
The Emperor of Heaven suddenly opened his eyes, revealing his surprise and emotion. "You don't have to do this. Just one kiss and everything I have will belong to you."
Once the five signs of decay of the celestial beings are triggered, it cannot be stopped by simple merits. Now, no amount of merits will be of any use to him. If he can satisfy the thought in his heart before he leaves, it doesn't matter even if he has to sacrifice his life and property.
"My merits are extraordinary." Rong Zhen suppressed his attempt to resist and transferred all his merits to him.
Her merit is to save the world, how can it be compared with ordinary merits?
How do you know that you can't help the Emperor of Heaven overcome the Five Deteriorations of Heavenly Beings if you don't try?
According to legend, the Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Earth are the end of the immortals, but also the beginning of their journey to a higher level of cultivation. It is a calamity for the immortals, but also an opportunity for them. It all depends on whether one can find a way to successfully overcome it.
In this world, no immortal has ever successfully survived this calamity. They all perished in the struggle and consumption of the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man. Gradually, they all came to regard it as the final destination of immortals.
Now Rongzhen has taken a different approach and opened another door.
"Enough, enough, stop!" The Emperor of Heaven hugged her body which was beginning to become transparent, realizing what would happen if he continued.
But he has not yet completely overcome the five signs of decay. If he stops now, all his efforts will be in vain.
Anyway, she has collected enough resources and is not afraid of death, so she might as well keep trying.
Rong Zhen kept working, feeling the body gradually disappearing, and talked to the Emperor of Heaven to divert his attention.
"In consideration of my help to you, can you please promise me one thing? If anyone wants to borrow this method in the future, please let them accumulate merit on their own, and don't let me harm future generations."
"Also, practice hard. I wonder if you can transcend after reaching the upper limit of this realm. After I leave, please help me try."
"If we can transcend, maybe we'll meet again one day."
As the last sentence fell, Rong Zhen's body, which had become transparent, could no longer hold on and turned into light spots in the sky and dissipated.
"I promise you, I will come to find you!" The Emperor of Heaven tightened his embrace, a tear fell from his eyes, and merged into the soul that suddenly disappeared.
