## Chapter 116: The Most Beautiful Fated Meeting - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real

## Chapter 116: The Most Beautiful Fated Meeting When Su Mo saw Chang'e carrying his body and rushing towards the moon, he was surprised. He hadn't expected this would be the outcome. It aligned with the earthly legend of Chang'e flying to the moon. … [After arriving on the moon, Chang'e discovered that it was a place of solitude and cold, so different from what she had imagined.] [However, she was now an immortal deity and was content with your companionship.] [Carrying your coffin, Chang'e wandered the moon for an unknown period, eventually finding an unusually splendid and empty palace on a plateau.] [The palace was like a celestial abode, whose builder was unknown.] [Chang'e settled you into this palace and was satisfied with everything around because it allowed her to remain by your side day and night.] [Your fate was sealed. Would you like to end the simulation now?] Seeing the option to end the simulation, Su Mo hesitated and zoomed in to closely observe the lone beauty residing in the lunar palace, Chang'e. He knew. If he chose to end it now, he might never see her again. But all stories must come to an end. Suppressing his reluctance, Su Mo decided to close it. Consider this as nothing more than a dream. Memories are best kept in the heart. He sighed softly. Su Mo ended the simulation. [You have ended the current simulation. Though not dead, you are akin to death.] [However, you have also earned the lifelong favor of Chang'e, the immortal deity…] … As the scene paused, the image of Chang'e and Su Mo vanished like fragments, replaced by cold system logs. … [You were born in the containment habitat of Yidu's Chiqiu remnants, destined from birth to be an eternal slave, a fate set in stone.] [But your golden-red hair at birth provoked fear among the Chiqiu people, for it signified the awakening of royal bloodlines.] [They urgently summoned the most respected grand shaman of the tribe, who, upon seeing you, understood immediately.] [She brought out her most treasured herbs, crafting ointments to temporarily suppress your lineage's power.] [With hair color matching others, you enjoyed a happy childhood.] [Unbeknownst to you, the Chiqiu grand shaman made great efforts behind the scenes to ensure your safe upbringing.] [On your sixteenth birthday, the truth of your royal lineage was discovered by Yiguo's shamans. Despite preparations, the Chiqiu grand shaman, feeling uneasy, gave you her life’s golden crow feather.] [Three days after your departure, the Chiqiu grand shaman passed away.] [You survived as the hope of Chiqiu, defying fate and escaping an inevitable death, significantly enhancing your evaluation.] Hearing of the Chiqiu grand shaman's death three days after his departure, Su Mo felt a pang of sorrow. The grand shaman had always looked after him in his early years. It was akin to hearing the unexpected passing of a beloved elder, making it impossible not to feel heartache. Alas! Su Mo sighed deeply. This is the downside of virtual reality; everything in the simulation feels real. Even if rewarded with virtual reality opportunities in the future, they shouldn't be used lightly. … [You were sent by Dayi to Yuefeng to ignite fire, losing your innate true sunfire, leading to despair and a constant urge to end your life (Escapism, minor evaluation reduction).] Noting the evaluation decrease due to escapism, Su Mo made a mental note. Any action reducing the evaluation might prevent acquiring talent rewards. [At the moment you were about to end your life, the character Chang'e, to whom you were bound, sensed your thoughts and intervened.] [Upon meeting Chang'e, you were awestruck by her beauty, deeply infatuated, abandoning suicide plans to pursue her instead (Defying fate, evaluation increase).] [Chang'e, with a cool and aloof demeanor, did not understand many of your actions. Yet, due to your solar power's allure, she formed a dependency, not driving you away.] [Throughout interactions, you and Chang'e developed connections.] [Her previously dull life was brightened by your presence.] [Having seen light, she could no longer bear the darkness, and your fate became closely intertwined and resolute.] [While traveling, your culinary skills captivated her, winning over both her stomach and heart. Despite not knowing how to express her affection, you mistakenly assumed she hadn't fallen in love.] [Upon returning from travels, the last barrier between you both was broken. Your solar energy was infused into Chang'e, transforming the once aloof fairy into your exclusive consort.] [Out of envy, Dayi shot you, leading to a state of suspended animation. To save you, Chang'e accepted Dayi's proposal.] [Twice refusing the immortal elixir offered by Chang’e resulted in the earth rejecting her. In desperation, she took your coffin to the moon.] [You enabled the birth of an immortal moon deity, defying fate, greatly enhancing your evaluation.] [You lived for a total of 20 years.] [Born into the Chiqiu royalty, yet instead of rescuing your clansmen, you were lost in youthful romance.] [Your disposition cost you many things you deserved, yet you serendipitously created beautiful moments.] [In your apparent death, Chang'e believed yours was the most beautiful fateful meeting.] [Evaluation: Reckless and Unrestrained.] [System rewards are now being settled…] [You have obtained the "True Sunfire" talent.] [Conflict detected between True Sunfire and Vast Righteousness. Would you like to integrate them?] Discovering the conflict between True Sunfire and Vast Righteousness took Su Mo by surprise. He hadn't anticipated talent conflicts. Whether to integrate them required careful consideration. What if merging the two led to lesser potential? While Su Mo pondered this, another prompt appeared. … [If not merged, you must abandon one talent. Please select the talent to discard.] [True Sunfire], [Vast Righteousness] … Faced with abandoning a talent, Su Mo chose integration immediately. What a joke. Asking him to abandon one is like cutting a piece of him. If integration results in lesser qualities, so be it. After all, with limitless simulations, superior talents will come in time. … [You have chosen talent integration.] [Integrating True Sunfire and Vast Righteousness…] [Congratulations, you have acquired the blended talent "Blazing Sun Righteousness."] [Blazing Sun Righteousness: An unknown-level talent resulting from integrating "Vast Righteousness" and "True Sunfire."] [This talent grants you the unique Blazing Sun Righteousness, enabling the harnessing of ultimate yang, ultimate strength, and the utmost virtue via the power of the universe and the sun. It possesses formidable destructive and purifying capabilities, intimidating all lifeforms.] [This righteousness can enhance its power by absorbing a ray of sunlight daily.] [The stronger your sense of justice, the more formidable Blazing Sun Righteousness becomes, with no upper limit to its power!] … In the next moment, Su Mo felt the majestic change in his heart's Vast Righteousness, transforming from a cold, authoritative presence to a warm, all-encompassing force that permeated through his being. Due to frequent practice of those three witchcrafts, Su Mo could sense this Blazing Sun Righteousness bore similarities to his prior solar power, albeit stronger. As for the description stating that the righteous intent in his heart amplifies its power without limits, Su Mo chose to ignore it. From the description, it seemed Blazing Sun Righteousness had indeed found the wrong person to pair with. He possessed a sense of justice, albeit not fervently. "Perhaps 'if any' would be more fitting," he mused. Stretching lazily, Su Mo felt invigorated, sleepiness nowhere in sight. He then initiated another simulation, appearing in the Tang Dynasty as a military household, gifted with the most common white talent of "Strong and Robust." Leaving the simulation running, Su Mo wandered into the courtyard with the awarded black iron cooking knife in hand. It was the dead of night, the moon hung majestically. Gazing at the luminous moon, Su Mo indulged in daydreams. Chang'e should be on the moon palace now, right? he wondered. Could she see him from there… But Su Mo knew. All this was but a fantasy. Yet, regardless, he had experienced it. A person should not be too greedy. … Moon. This beautiful, immense celestial body, transformed from the right eye of Zhulong, comparable in size to the sun, lay barren and desolate, devoid of inhabitants. As the view zooms in, a palace of cold jade, radiating a soft glow, comes into sight on a high plateau of the moon—the Guanghan Palace. Inside, on a jade bed, a stunning and ethereal fairy slowly awakens from her slumber. Her extremely beautiful face carries an expression of slight puzzlement. With eyes as serene as a frosty night, she gazes at the vast, lonely expanse of the dark starry sky. "How long have I slept this time?" Experiencing a sense of disorientation, the ethereal fairy closes her eyes again, deeply sensing the changes within herself. As time progresses, the memories begin to return to her. She starts to murmur softly. "My name is Chang'e. I came here with Mo to this once empty Guanghan Palace, whose creator is unknown." "…" "Because of overwhelming loneliness, I chose to sink into an aimless slumber." "Waking up now, I have lost track of how many years have passed." "Mo." "That's right, where is my Mo?" Chang'e vividly remembers placing the coffin beside her bed before slipping into her deep sleep. "Mo!" An endless wave of sorrow washes over Chang'e's eyes as she struggles with Mo's absence, unsure of where he could have gone. During those sleepless years, Mo was her only spiritual solace. But suddenly, Chang'e notices something amiss. Why has her body returned to its virginal state? She recalls clearly the countless nights and days spent with Mo. At once, a boundless sense of confusion envelops her heart. After sweeping her gaze across the moon and finding no trace of Mo, Chang'e extends her divine consciousness towards the boundless Poso World. The once formidable kingdoms have long ceased to exist. To her surprise, Chang'e discovers that today's world is several hundred times larger than before! It is now teeming with numerous nations, with vast regions ruled by practitioners between national borders. These practitioners wield a different kind of strength, not witchcraft, but another power unfamiliar to her—less potent than witchcraft, yet refined. By contrast, witchcraft seems rather crude. These astonishing changes leave Chang'e baffled. However, her immediate priority is finding Mo. But with her body fortified by two doses of immortal elixir, the mortal world consistently rejects her presence. She must find a way to descend to the mortal realm! … In the Shang Dynasty. City of Zhaoge. A chilling voice echoes through the dimly lit underground chamber. "Through divination, I've received an oracle. A deity is about to descend. If we can capture them and feed their heart to the Xuanniao, it will ensure eternal immortality for our great Shang..." (End of Chapter)
