The truth behind Conferred Gods
"So do you want to watch it now? Or do you want to deal with your almost crazy emperor first?"
"I want to deal with the Emperor first. Sorry, Chi Huang, I have to delay you from teaching me next time."
"I'm always here. Teaching you is my mission. No need to be polite."
Chi Huang thought about it carefully and said, "Ali, even if you are a god, there will be a day when your life will end. Don't leave any regrets in your heart that cannot be erased."
After saying this, she disappeared.
Coming out of the divine realm, he looked up and met Heng Jin's gaze. The resentment in his eyes was heavier, with more terrifying resentment, and some other complex emotions.
This look is very similar to those concubines in the cold palace on earth who long for the emperor's favor and freedom and power.
"You tied me up, didn't talk to me, left me here in the cold, ignored my eyes, ignored my emotions, ignored me. I'm really fed up with your cold violence of ignoring me and neglecting me. I hate you! I hate that you made a promise to me to grow old together but abandoned me alone in the building! I hate that you said you loved me and then ruthlessly abandoned me!"
"I think we've made that clear enough."
Her tone was too calm, which made Heng Jin's emotions collapse even more. He complained heartbreakingly, "I don't know! Where did I make it clear?! It's you! It's you who doesn't want me anymore! It's you who unilaterally wants to end our love!"
Tears gathered in his eyes, but he tried hard to hold them back, not daring to blink, for fear that if they fell, his grievances would burst out and he would be choked and unable to speak.
After this opportunity, perhaps he would never be able to say these words to her.
The momentum was there, but when he spoke, his tone was inevitably tinged with grievance, and his voice trembled, "I am despicable, I went back on my word, didn't you go back on your word too?"
"What did I go back on?"
Emperor Hengjin lowered his eyes and looked down at her, choking with sobs as he slowly said, "You said..." His voice trembled unnaturally, and a tear as big as a bean fell, "You only like me..."
He turned his head and the tears he couldn't hold back fell like raindrops, hitting the floor with a faint "pat pat" sound.
Yuanli suddenly found her vision blurry, as if everything in the hall was covered in a gray mist. She rubbed her eyes, but her vision didn't clear up, so it was clear that it wasn't an illusion.
"Just stay here and wait for me to come back. He has the power of purification, and he will definitely be able to dispel the effects of Xie Yuan's evil magic on you."
Emperor Hengjin cast a spell to shatter the petal chains, and then forcibly held her in his arms like a madman, holding her tightly in his arms. His tears rubbed against her neck, making it wet.
He was so strong that she couldn't break free.
"Heng Jin! Let me go! If you continue like this, I will leave you alone!"
"You've already stopped caring about me! You didn't care about my heartbreak, my sorrow, my jealousy, or how much I couldn't accept being abandoned by you! You've already... stopped caring about me..."
"I won't let go. If I do, you'll leave me again..."
Heng Jin buried his face in the crook of her neck, breaking down and crying heartbreakingly: "What's the point of purifying this resentment! Can I just stop hating you? I want so much not to hate you, but I can't! Yuanli, what do you want me to do to get back to me? I've convinced myself to accept your love. I'm even willing to be your mistress. As long as you're with me, it doesn't matter if you marry Cha Suxun! As long as you don't separate from me...but you still heartlessly want to abandon me!"
He cried loudly, as if he wanted to vent all the anger and grievances... all the emotions.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to be forced to be a concubine. A-Cha and I will never have a concubine. Love and marriage can't be forced. Our situation is already destined. Your Majesty, let's let each other go."
She spoke more tactfully for fear of angering him.
She hugged him back, rubbing his back gently, intending to ease his emotions.
If he hadn't been crying uncontrollably and choking with sobs and unable to speak, seeing how excited he was after hearing what she said, I'm afraid he would have said something furious in rebuttal.
"Emperor, you were merely under the influence of Xie Yuan's evil magic. Now you must not continue to be controlled by its effects and emotions. Calm down, calm down. Let's talk peacefully, okay? I promise not to ignore your emotions anymore. I promise to listen to everything you have to say."
Heng Jin slowly raised his head and left her neck, but the strength with which he held her tightly did not decrease at all, for fear that she would find a chance and immediately cast a spell to escape from him.
He lowered his head and looked at her in his arms, saying, "I can't force it, but I've been trying for several lifetimes! There will always be a lifetime where I can force the marriage I desire!"
"How do you expect me to accept this? You're clearly still in love with me, but you're going to marry another man out of gratitude? In short, I can't accept this. Even if you marry him, I won't give up seducing you. Even if I have to face public condemnation, it doesn't matter. I'm determined to be your mistress!"
His pupils had turned gray-black, the whites of his eyes were cloudy, and there were extremely tiny black spots so fine that they were imperceptible. Black and red particles also began to appear on his body.
Yuanli didn't know what to do, and she didn't dare to ask for help easily to avoid spreading Hengjin's situation, which would inevitably cause trouble. She only knew that she couldn't anger him again no matter what.
She had to get his emotions down to at least normal.
Acting in front of Heng Jin was like running naked. She could not outperform this old fox with many tricks. She was too easy to be seen through.
In order to make it work, he has to express his true feelings. That way, even if his words sound like lies, he will be able to convince himself.
"Ajin, please stop being like this, okay? You look so scary when you're angry. You scared me. I'm scared."
She slowly softened her tone, took the initiative to hug his waist, and pressed her face against his chest. "I know Ah Jin loves me very much. I know Ah Jin has been wronged. I admit all the accusations. I love you and I like you. Let's not separate, okay?"
"You lied to me... You lied to me!"
"I didn't lie to you, Ah Jin."
Heng Jin gently caressed her warm face, his gaze filled with love and possession sweeping over every angle of this familiar face. He took a deep breath and said helplessly and powerlessly, "Even if you're lying to me, I still love hearing these coaxing words you say. Just like knowing I'll never be your only choice, I'm still willing to believe you when you say you only love me. I'm willing to pray quietly in those endless cold nights when you've abandoned me, hoping to regain your love."
His thumb brushed across her lips, his fingertips pausing at the bead of her lip. He tried to kiss her tentatively, but she still pulled back, her eyes evasive and guilty...
Really... so dazzling...
"You say you love me, but your body is more honest than you. You are resisting my kiss."
Heng Jin's emotions, which had calmed down a little, were once again filled with resentment. He sneered at himself a few times, and a round tear fell.
"You were destined to be married to him, so you remained chaste for him and resisted my kiss because you knew Cha Suxun would be sad, jealous, and heartbroken. But what about me? What about when we were destined to be married? You even made love with him in front of me. Do you know how cruel that was to me? At that time, did you consider my feelings? I guess you didn't care. After all, in your heart, I was not even worth a hair of Cha Suxun, right?"
"When did I have sex with Cha Suxun in front of you?"
My brain can't keep up with my mouth.
As soon as Yuanli finished saying this, she immediately remembered when he was talking about it.
"It turns out that the thing that hurt me the most is something you can't even remember."
Heng Jin cast a spell to create an illusion, bringing her into a palace deep in the palace filled with the sounds of decadent pleasure, and relived that day from the perspective of an observer.
She looked in shock at Heng Jin, who was suppressing her anger and resentment. She knelt painfully on the cold floor tiles, her hands hanging by her legs clenched into fists until her fingers turned white.
The sounds of her and Cha Suxun's passionate love filled the entire bedroom, and her heavy breathing and soft moans never stopped. Cha Suxun kept seducing her to say those blushing private words, which made him very happy.
On the couch, the hazy curtains seemed to be there and not there, and the figures of the two people entangled together were clearly visible. Her graceful figure and skin could be vaguely seen, not to mention her face and her expression.
Yuanli only took a glance and immediately turned around and lowered her head.
In fact, what Heng Jin saw of her and Cha Suxun making love that day was all an illusion cast by Cha Suxun. It was just that Heng Jin, as a mortal, could not see through it.
"You've never treated me like this before. Even when I was your beloved Wen Yici, you never said anything about wanting me like this, not even once!"
"A Jin, this is all Cha Suxun's illusion. I'm trying to force you, as Qi Heng, out of the palace so he can drive your illusion away."
"If you cared about me at all back then, you would have considered how heartbroken this would make me. Ah Li, how can I not feel resentment when you call me that?"
"I didn't know you had any memory of what happened back then... Anyway, I was wrong. I'm not good enough. I broke your heart. Ah Jin, I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?"
"not good."
Yuanli was unable to break his illusion and could only listen to this embarrassing voice and patiently coax him.
"Then, what do you want me to do to forgive me?"
He doesn't speak.
She took a few steps forward, stretched out her hands, and covered his ears. "Ajin, can you please dispel this illusion first?"
He still didn't speak, but he lifted the illusion.
The light was much brighter, his eyes were so cloudy that they were completely filled with gray and black, and his whole body exuded an uncomfortable miasma.
He pushed her away, gritting his teeth in agony and saying, "I'm losing control, A-Li, get out of here! Now! Quick!"
"I'm going to find Qianlian! I will definitely save you! Wait for me!"
Yuanli cast a spell to teleport back to Xingjun Mansion, and then teleported back to Hengjin's bedroom with Chuanlian.
At this moment, inside the palace.
Heng Jin was already standing there in a daze, like an empty shell without a soul, and the black particles were about to form a cocoon that would wrap him up completely.
"Lian Lian, can you purify the miasma from him?"
"I'll try."
Cang Lian immediately began to cast a purification spell, and the particles were gradually devoured by his pure and healing spiritual power, and the "cocoon shell" was disintegrated.
"This miasma envelops the power of the Fallen Angel, causing their soul to enter a dreamland fueled by emotions. Once their soul's emotions completely collapse, the miasma will corrode them, forcing them into an eternal slumber. Star Lord, I can purify the miasma, but I cannot break the evil spell cast by this Fallen Angel's power."
"I underestimated the enemy and the situation. I will go find the Heavenly Monarch. He will definitely find a way to break it!"
Xiang Yao entered the bedroom and, through telepathic communication, stopped her, saying, "Absolutely not! If the immortals knew the Emperor harbored such a deep resentment, allowing the evil spirit to invade his body, it would be a disaster. From what I heard from Chang Lian, I think it's the fallen angel Neng Xi. We know her somewhat. The Emperor once said that Neng Xi's dreamscapes all work on the same principle. As long as we can enter his consciousness, find the emotionally disturbed consciousness, and calm it completely, we can awaken the sleeping Emperor. Xingjun, right now, the only one who can enter the Emperor's consciousness is you..."
Xiang Yao knelt down and kowtowed to her, then spoke to her again through telepathy, "Please, Star Lord, help the Emperor. Considering how hard he worked to help you ascend to godhood, please help him, okay?"
Yuanli telepathically said to Xiangyao Tongling, "You went to great lengths to help me ascend to godhood?"
Xiang Yao explained to her through telepathic communication, "You were able to ascend to heaven because the Emperor fed you with the Nine Heavens Divine Fire and many immortal dews and immortal spirits for three days and three nights, and took you to the Heavenly Pool to hunt the God-devouring Beast, so that he could forcibly create an immortal bone for you. Creating a god is against the will of heaven, and he suffered backlash and heavenly punishment because of it. Inside the body of a god, the heavenly punishment is like thousands of heart-devouring needles wandering in his blood every night, making him live a life worse than death. The God-devouring Beast is a divine beast outside the thirty-three heavens. Because it can create divine bones, it was sealed by the ancient gods in the Bitter Mirror Sea filled with heavenly thunder. Not to mention that the God-devouring Beast has nearly a hundred kinds of toxins in its body. Just entering the Bitter Mirror Sea will cause you to be struck by heavenly thunder. In the years before he found you, he was trying to catch the God-devouring Beast. The most serious time was when his eyes were half poisoned. He said that he didn't want you to suffer the same prejudice, cruel treatment and hardship as in your previous life because of your identity in the demon world. I know that you are now the fiancée of the Lord of the Underworld, and it is wrong to let you enter my Lord's spiritual realm... But you are the only one who can help him, please..."
