Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 525 Unbearable
The words of the Lord of Heaven seemed to contradict themselves.

In order to avoid the backlash of heaven, he spent hundreds of years making preparations for reproduction, but in the end, he failed because of a moment of impatience.

He couldn't bear to hurt Yang Shijun, and was willing to risk his own life for her, but he also said that people who inherited the immortal law were simply incapable of loving others.

So to sum up, he died for someone he didn't love at all.

Ridiculous.

But Wang Luo couldn't laugh, because he had already understood the meaning behind the smile of the Lord of Heaven.

"Yes, you guessed it right."

The Lord of Heaven still smiled frankly and naturally saw through Wang Luo's thoughts.

"If I cannot let go of my life and property, and even the remaining immortals in the Jingzhou Heavenly Court, just because of my love, and hesitate, then I will be the most foolish and absurd person in the history of the Nine Provinces and Three Realms. Therefore, the ruthlessness left by the Immortal Ancestor in the Immortal Law is just right in my opinion. Because I can confidently say that my reluctance is not due to my own selfish desires."

As he spoke, the Lord of Heaven brought Wang Luo to the imperial palace, a rather deserted hall. The hall was located where the imperial city's spiritual veins converged, and it was obviously the bedroom of the Queen Mother Yang Shijun, with a high status. However, the guards and palace maids were quite sparse, and the bricks and tiles of the bedroom seemed too old, so that the overall temperament was a bit decadent.

The Lord of Heaven stepped inside and couldn't help but sigh.

"Every brick and tile has been preserved in its original appearance...even the toys I played with when I was a kid are still there."

As he spoke, he had already walked to the bedside of the inner room, looked at the exquisite toys crafted by immortal craftsmen beside the pillow, which were old and out of order, and shook his head slightly.

"I came to the mortal world as Gan Yinghua in order to find a suitable mother body to reproduce in the Xinheng test field. I soon fell in love with the youngest daughter of Duke Weiguo who was specially placed in Fancheng, that is, Yang Shijun. She is extremely talented, which is even more precious in this small Mingzhou. She was born in a famous family and had no shortage of natural talents and famous teachers to guide her since she was a child... When she was ten years old, Chen Lin concluded that she had the potential to achieve Mahayana. In my opinion, if she had not been born in Xinheng and her path was restricted by the glass net above her head, she would actually have the potential to be a true immortal."

Wang Luo followed silently behind him without interrupting.

The Lord of Heaven smiled and said, "It's okay. You can ask any questions you have. I'm not a dying old man who has to tell all his stories in one breath. I'm not afraid of being interrupted. I just hope that as my successor, you can record some precious stories completely."

Wang Luo then said without hesitation: "So what happened to her that caused her to be in such a miserable state that she can't even control herself in the fusion realm?"

The Lord of Heaven shrugged, "What else could it be? It was me. When she was ten years old and drew Qi into her body, causing the Glazed Light to deviate, the Duke of Wei, at the suggestion of Yang Zhao, tried to exchange his youngest daughter and sent his second son to replace her. From a political perspective, the Duke of Wei's move of exchanging his second son for a young girl was obviously a step up, and the royal family had no reason to object. However, in the end, the matter was left unresolved. Because there was a key person who firmly opposed it - Yang Shijun himself."

Hearing this, Wang Luo couldn't help but ask, "Are you trying to say that she fell in love with you at first sight and was completely devoted to you, so she refused to go home even when her own father called her, and insisted on staying in Fancheng?"

"Yes, that's what happened."

Wang Luo asked again: "She was only ten years old that year, how could you have the heart to do that to her?"

"I just picked someone, but I didn't take any actual action. It was her who had a keen eye for talent and took action first... To be honest, there was really some destiny in this, because I have the Immortal Law to cover my flawlessness, and no one in the world can see through my true self. Apart from my true self, my incarnation Gan Yinghua in the mortal world is just an above-average talent. Apart from being handsome and having a slightly natural Taoist body, there is nothing special about him. Objectively speaking, except for being a prince, my conditions are actually not as good as Yang Shijun's. But she was certain that I was her true partner, and then... to show her determination, she pierced her Dantian."

"!?"

At this moment, even Wang Luo opened his mouth in shock: "What the hell?!"

"Yes, that's right, I had the same reaction at that time. She is truly willing to sacrifice herself for a true immortal! Fortunately, the incident happened at the Yang family residence, and soon many great doctors came to the rescue. Children's injuries always heal faster... However, immortal cultivation is most afraid of such acts of self-destruction. In order to stay by my side, she would rather destroy her own dantian. Obviously, the immortal path is no longer that important to her. So naturally, the immortal path will no longer favor her."

Wang Luo frowned, feeling that the problem was more than that.

"Yes, the problem is far more than that... Because at the beginning, I was actually wondering if someone was secretly obstructing my plan to reproduce. After all, the worse Yang Shijun's condition is, the more disadvantageous it is to my plan. And no matter who is on the left or right of heaven, there are many people who want me dead... I initially chose her because she has the potential to become a true immortal, but after breaking her own Dantian, although she still has the opportunity to become a great master, it is extremely difficult for her to condense a unique path of her own, and the value of reproduction is indeed discounted. But after that, she found that I valued cultivation more, and quickly picked up cultivation again. In just a few years, she successfully built an immortal foundation. That momentum, as if the path to ascension that she had discarded with her own hands was about to be repaired by her own hands."

Wang Luo asked: "So, what happened next?"

"Later, I lived with her for decades. She was just like the heroines in my senior sister's storybooks, doing everything perfectly. Even though she had long seen that I had no love for her, she didn't care at all... Later, due to changes in Jingzhou, I had to terminate my incognito journey in advance, causing Gan Yinghua to fall ill and her cultivation to go wrong, and she died early and returned to heaven. When I said goodbye to her, she said she would wait for me to come back."

"Come back? Could it be that she is..."

The Lord of Heaven shook his head: "She doesn't know my identity. After all, the Immortal Law of Zha Wuxia is still there... but she is only one step away from the truth. She determined very early that I was not an ordinary person, but a real immortal in Heaven. She must have an important mission to come to the mortal world, so she didn't believe in the false illusions such as acute illness and fire. When I was "dying", she said she would wait for me. I told her that one day in heaven is one year on earth, and she said she would wait no matter how many years it took. I said that once I return to Heaven, my memories of the mortal world will be lost, so she said that everything should be kept as it was when I left, and then, even if I still have a trace of memory, I will remember her when I see things... But how easy is it to maintain the original state? Although there are many immortal cultivators who have magical techniques to maintain their youth, the real immortal technique must at least be perfected at the fusion realm. When she parted with me, she had just entered the middle stage of the transformation realm. She wanted to break the mirror and advance again in a short period of time. The result is naturally self-evident..." Wang Luo said: "So, she really just made her cultivation so loose for the sake of eternal youth?"

"Yes, and the price of wasting her cultivation like this is self-evident... But she always believed that I would come back, and that all the chaos in Xinheng would be quelled by then. So, no matter how tempting and reasonable the bargaining chips Zhang Jincheng offered her, it was actually meaningless. Even without any evidence, even when she was most isolated and helpless, without any help or even enlightenment, her belief never wavered in the slightest. So, in your opinion, Queen Mother Yang Shijun, who was doing evil and disregarding the lives of hundreds of millions of people, was actually an extremely simple woman in essence."

Wang Luo remained silent.

The Lord of Heaven smiled and said, "Oh, it is indeed a little hard to explain. But after hearing this, you should understand why I can't bear to be with Yang Shijun."

"...Well, I guess I can guess it."

The Lord of Heaven sighed, "The immortal law left by the sincere immortal forbids love and selfish desires, but it does not mean that people are ruthless. On the contrary, he is the most passionate and romantic person I have ever seen in the world. At that time, he was the first to break through and ascend. He was the only one in the entire immortal world, and he was the only one who could use it. If he wanted, he could completely cut off the path of ascension for all people in later generations, gradually expand his own existence, and become the prototype of the origin of all things. But instead of occupying the immortal world, he established the Heavenly Court, reorganized the immortal law, shared the immortal world with the world, and paved the way for ascension for future generations. And this is only because he couldn't bear to see those talented practitioners who couldn't get a good place to go. Later, as the immortal world became increasingly prosperous and crowded, the immortal law began to be unsustainable, and he also foresaw the disaster. At that time, he had a way to survive alone, but instead of abandoning the immortals, he was more open to the immortals. Door, forcing himself to do his best to open up the Star Sea Sky Realm and create a new upper realm for the people in the fairy world. Although he failed in the end, his will was still silently caring about and protecting the Kyushu Continent until he died in the netherworld. That's why my senior sister was able to dig him out, put him in the Taixu Illusionary Realm, and make him the current Tianzun. The sincere fairy law is the fairy law established to protect the beauty of the world. Although it was once damaged in the heavenly calamity and tampered with and distorted by the three panicked true fairy families, when I inherited the fairy law from my master, its most important core had been restored: As the master of the heaven, one should have great love in his heart. And Yang Shijun is a beautiful person who deserves to be protected with great love. I rarely get interested, and I want to try to promote reproduction in the mortal world to prolong my life, and then I met Yang Shijun. It can be seen that this is God's will, and I will no longer insist on prolonging my life. "

Wang Luo was silent for a long time, and then asked, "So, how do you plan to let me inherit this inheritance?"

"Yang Shijun? Go visit the graves once in a while. You don't need to do anything extra."

Wang Luo was a little surprised: "Grave sweeping? She shouldn't be dying like you, right?"

"Well, she was born with a long life, and in order to keep the beauty of our separation when we meet again, she has actually paid great attention to health preservation over the past few decades. Even though she is inevitably busy as the queen mother, and she forced herself into the fusion state during this period, wasting her cultivation, she still has at least 500 years of life left. It is indeed much longer than me. However, for her, she can even give up the opportunity to become an immortal for me, so what is the point of a mere 500 years of life? She can say goodbye to me once, but she can't bear the pain of saying goodbye to me a second time. After I deal with the current affairs in Xinheng, she will go to Jingzhou with me, and there will be the last stop of her life."

Wang Luo couldn't help but ask: "At this time, you are so cruel?"

The Lord of Heaven smiled and did not answer. He just took another step and took Wang Luo back to the Qianxing Platform in Dongdu.

"Enough of the idle chatter, it's time to get down to business. I have limited time, so I'll try to get it over with as quickly as possible."

The next moment, the time and space that had been frozen for a long time began to flow again, and the noise outside Dongdu poured into the ears like a tide.

But soon, a clear voice sounded, suppressing all the noise.

"Quiet!"

Wang Luo was surprised to find that it was his own voice.

The simple word "quiet" was like an irresistible decree from heaven, which instantly subdued the confused hearts of people.

The elite soldiers and generals inside and outside the Eastern Capital, the important officials of the imperial court gathered around the Yang brothers... and even the people in the bustling city who were looking at the Eastern Capital from afar, all lowered their heads at the same time at this moment.

From the Queen Mother Yang Shijun setting a trap outside the East Capital and trying to imprison the Immortal Alliance's envoy, to the envoy's counter-occupation of the Star-drawing Platform to awaken the National Master, the Immortal Dethronement Record turned the tables in an instant, and finally the Immortal Dethronement Record attracted the magical golden fairy Shi Suying...

After a series of twists and turns, people's hearts were already in a state of confusion. However, as Wang Luo's voice rang out, all the distracting thoughts in people's minds were swept away in just a short moment.

After everyone was quiet, Wang Luo continued, "The chaos in Xinheng was not the intention of the royal family, let alone the Heavenly Court! It was all caused by the internal strife in Heaven. A few immortals took advantage of the chaos and disregarded the overall situation, disobeyed the orders of the Lord, and used evil magic to deceive the hearts of the mortals! Now that the head of the immortal rebellion, Shi Suying, has been executed, the source of the chaos in Xinheng no longer exists. Please be quiet, everyone!"

The second silence had a different meaning from the previous one. At the same time, the voice also contained a terrifying pressure that made people's hearts palpitate. Although there was something far-fetched and even unbelievable in these words, after a moment, people from the Qianxing Terrace bowed down one after another, as if they were meeting the king, to express their submission to Wang Luo.

After that, Wang Luo spoke for the third time: "The dispute between Queen Mother Yang Shijun and National Master Zhang Jincheng was actually a puzzle designed by the Golden Immortal of the Upper Realm to identify rebellion. The two sides seemed to be at odds with each other, but in fact they were allies. During this period, domestic chaos was caused, and they had to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. Now that the chaos is over, the truth should be clarified! However, the unrest in the country was caused by the Yang family after all, and the situation of the Queen Mother ruling the country from behind the curtain is not suitable to continue..."

At this point, someone below the stage involuntarily raised his head with a look of surprise.

But then, Wang Luo continued to speak.

"... and I will make an exception and ascend to heaven for my merit in killing the immortal rebels, and enjoy eternal freedom!"
