TSFLIP Chapter 714

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord and Taibai Jinxing were the oldest deities in the Celestial Realm; surely, they would know the reason behind all this. But on her way to find the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, Liuli ran into someone familiar—the princess of the heavens, a woman also named Feng Guang.

It’s easy to imagine her shock. Back when she lived in the Celestial Realm, Liuli had often heard people talk about this almost legendary princess. But because of the difference in their status, no one ever addressed her by name—she was always just “the Princess.” Liuli had never actually known what she was called.

She went up and greeted Feng Guang, but Feng Guang didn’t recognize her. Only when she heard Liuli’s name did her reaction turn slightly strange.

Liuli wanted to ask more, but Taibai Jinxing quickly pulled her away and warned, “The Princess has just returned from her tribulation. She retains no memories of her time in the mortal world. You mustn’t say anything that might stir her heart and let emotions interfere with her path.”

“Tribulation?”

“Yes. Though the Princess is young, she has already reached the threshold to ascend from immortal to true godhood. A few days ago, following destiny, she descended to the mortal realm to undergo her trial. But the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord and I both calculated that something about it was unusual. Luckily, the Princess has no memory of what happened during her tribulation, so best not to mention it again.”

“I understand…” Liuli realized that someone like Zhong Ran could never be a good memory in Feng Guang’s heart. But the thought gave Liuli new insight: the reason Feng Guang’s soul had never appeared in the Underworld was because she was a deity undergoing her tribulation. Once her trial ended, she would naturally return to the heavens, not the realm of the dead.

If that were true… then perhaps Jian An was also some deity sent to undergo a tribulation, and that meant he wasn’t dead.

Liuli’s guess wasn’t far off—but Jian An wasn’t a god at all. He was the Lord of the Demon Realm. She only learned this later, when the heavens fractured, demonic energy spilled out, and beings from all three realms gathered in the Celestial Realm—that was when she encountered Jian An.

It was around the same time she had seen Feng Guang again, shortly before a new herbalist instructor joined the Celestial Academy. Soon after, rumors spread that the Princess was to marry him.

On the wedding day, disaster struck: the demonic miasma surged free.

Back then, Jian An no longer remembered Liuli. He was simply one of those who came to help seal the miasma. Though the heavens bore the brunt of the destruction, the Demon Realm, the Monster Realm, and even the Mortal World would soon follow if the miasma spread unchecked. None could escape, which was why—for the first time in history—the three realms stood united.

But this eruption was far stronger than before. As the rift in the heavens widened, waves of miasma poured out. Anyone—demon, monster, or deity—whose cultivation was not strong enough, once tainted by the miasma, would have the darkness in their nature laid bare. The armies of the three realms began turning on each other in madness.

Just then, dressed in wedding robes, Feng Guang appeared with sword in hand. From her stance, it was clear she meant to charge straight into the source of the miasma and annihilate it completely. No one knew what happened in that abyss of blackness, where not even one’s hand could be seen. All they saw was Feng Guang reemerging—cradled in the arms of a refined, elegant man. That man was her groom.

His voice was calm as he declared, “I can agree to a truce. But only on one condition: Feng Guang is mine. Otherwise… by tonight, not a blade of grass will remain in the heavens.”

At his words, the Heavenly Emperor and Empress froze. In the end, though, they yielded.

Later, Liuli learned that the Heavenly Emperor had long known Suva’s true identity. His plan had been to strike while Suva’s guard was down during the wedding and, with the combined power of the three realms, destroy him once and for all. But they had gravely underestimated Suva’s strength.
