There once was a small continent floating in the Dark Void. It was largely unremarkable except for it being the birthplace of the legendary figure known as the King of Everlore, a blip that could easily be forgotten. But the destinies of these three women, Wu Baozhai, Lin Ziyan, and Na Xinyi, began there.
They were born, raised, and formed an unbreakable bond there. By fate, they met a young man blessed by exceptional fortune and possessing a charismatic will and charm. They had different circumstances in life, varied and eventful, yet they were brought together by their relationship with him.
A princess of a country, a genius of a sect, a vagabond with a vendetta, a woman seeking salvation from a curse, the sheltered princess of an entire race, and an adopted wild child; they were all beauties in their own right, capable of toppling entire nations, and they were gathered by the hands of heavenly will.
These six women traveled from an insignificant continent to a larger planet and a much greater stage, struggling along the way for a decade, spending almost every moment together, enjoying each other's company, arguing sometimes, and even competing at other times. Their struggles forged that bond, that union of sisterhood that couldn't be formed anywhere else. While they may have been influenced on that path, their actions still led to them developing that relationship.
These six women had segregated with time, finding their own paths away from their united ones. While some had statuses that were unknown to this day, the three present had all followed their own goals, and they attained their very own happiness and purpose for existence.
Na Xinyi sought to establish her name, a feat that she had achieved during these decades. When others spoke of her name, she was often mentioned in the same breath as Tian Yinwu and Wei Wuyin, especially regarding their combative feats and outstanding talents.
Wu Baozhai took charge of her own force, leading the Eternal Monarch Sect to greater heights with each passing day. The fulfillment of seeing something grow from something little to something breathtakingly was indescribably precious. The will of others, their hopes, dreams, aspirations, and futures were things she took pride in realizing in the greatest possible way, leading them each to a brighter day.
A true Monarch!
Lin Ziyan didn't like the fighting, chaos, and hectic lifestyle that she had before. The tension and fear of once again being treated like a tool for another's wrongs left her scarred, and she was comfortable with being with her fated partner and her lineage clan-she was happy. While she was technically in hiding, there were no complaints.
Wei Wuyin was everything she imagined and more. And while they had yet to engage in true intimacy, they had done pretty much everything else under the sun over the decades. Me protected her from the one who sealed her bloodline, actively working on how to break her curse, and she could enjoy life to the fullest under the guise of his lover.
Unlike Na Xinyi and Wu Baozhai, Lin Ziyan was deeply satisfied with her life. In the future, she wanted to have many children, handsome boys and beautiful girls, and watch them grow with their curse lifted. They could pursue any path they wanted, and she knew that as long as Wei Wuyin was their father, they would not only be protected, they would want for nothing in their lives.
That was enough.
However, she still entered the Chosen King Competition. It was a strange feeling of hers as if guided by an invisible hand, but she asked Wei Wuyin to find a way for her to enter. Wei Wuyin sent her in as a Dark Chosen, unaffiliated with any particular force, and equipped her with an ungodly number of life-saving tools and items.
The event was hyped throughout the entire world, and she didn't mind joining in on the fun as a cultivator! While her reasoning felt slightly childish, she could afford that luxury because her lover was the best man in this world.
The three finally reunited together after decades apart.
Here, of all places!
However, the atmosphere grew somber. The trio instantly became the center of attention, yet their focus was on a single man. He had spoken earlier, remarking the pitiful fate of the pathetic creature wailing from being crushed by the vines.
The atmosphere was not only growing increasingly somber, but a stifling, suppressive air began to diffuse into the surroundings. After the three felt their respective emotions, from nostalgia, to love, to joy at the memory of Lian Yu, their gazes hardened.
"Huh?" The man in question jolted. A spine-tingling sensation crawled throughout his body, making him feel thoroughly uncomfortable.
"He Yanglei," Wu Baozhai said these two words with a glacial tone. If Hell could freeze over from emotions, these two words would've swept it with a blizzard several times over. Even the bystanders took a few steps back, their hearts pounding with an indescribable, heart-palpitating fear.
Na Xinyi's eyes didn't hold the same degree of coldness as Wu Baozhai, but a degree of indifference that was soul-shaking. The way she gazed at He Yanglei was as if she was looking at nothingness. It was terrifying to see.
Lin Ziyan was the most open; her eyes radiated stinging rays of unrestrained killing intent. Those ocean-blue eyes reflected the murderous will of a calamitous storm threatening to drown the world and all life in it! It was outright vicious, violent, and vengeful.
"You!"
"The Extreme Yin Saintess?" He Yanglei instantly recognized Na Xinyi. He admired and desired her, like countless others. As for Wu Baozhai, it took him a while to recall her from the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit. "The Eternal Monarch Sect's Sect Master?" As he thought of those two, he recalled their astonishing performances in the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit. They were true top-notch Chosen!
Moreover, they were heaven-rivaling beauties!
"..." They were all cultivators of excellent knowledge and experience now, and when they saw He Yanglei, Na Xinyi, and Wu Baozhai instantly knew that Lian Yu's heart was in his chest, beating fiercely and lively.
In the War Dsinister Realm, they had lost Lian Yu. For a long while, they didn't know who or why, simply that she met her end there. Wei Wuyin carried her preserved body with him, speaking to them individually, suggesting that, when all five women were gathered together, in remembrance of her life and its impact on theirs, they would all bury her properly on the Myriad Yore Continent-her birthplace. With this, she could be laid to rest with those who loved her.
Beyond that, besides explaining that her heart had been taken, Wei Wuyin didn't feel the need to involve himself any further. And as if fate willed it, they're here.
"Do you remember Lian Yu?" Na Xinyi slowly walked toward He Yanglei. The scene caught countless by surprise.
"Who?" He Yanglei was sent into a daze by Na Xinyi's eyes. They contained a soul-stirring, alluring charm that was hard to look away from. He gulped, almost forgetting about the killing intent Lin Ziyan emitted.
"She was my-our Sister," Wu Baozhai answered.
"Sister?" He Yanglei looked confused. He began to explain, "I don't know any-" Before he finished his sentence, his aura exploded, and he executed his movement art! He moved like flowing water intermixed with the tyrannical force of a dragon. With a single step, he launched himself tens of miles away!Confused? Bullshit!
He knew full well who Lian Yu was! Her heart was beating in his chest!
"Get him!" Lin Ziyan shouted as she shot after him. Wu Baozhai and Na Xinyi did not immediately react, giving each other a glance, a rare moment of silence, and the resolve to act swelled within their hearts, minds, and souls.
"KILL!" They chased!
