Chapter 737
Lin Fan is truly too mysterious; it's just that I don't know if he is also aware of his own fate.
"Saying I'm meddling in someone else's relationship, liking some Li Xiaoyao, and in the end, I, this third party, even died to save the original wife—what is this? Is my life just a farce?"
In a room filled with precious swords inside the Lin Fu, a woman in red is gnashing her teeth as she looks at the diary copy in her hands.
【I'll go to Xianlingdao tomorrow to check out the situation. These three Moon-Worshipping Cultists were likely sent by the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's subordinates acting on their own initiative, but since the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader has already returned from his global travels, he should also be wanting to take Linger back to the Nanzhao Kingdom to start stirring up trouble.
Sometimes I'm also curious: as a scientist, why does the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader spend every day wanting to know if there is love in the world instead of researching celestial bodies, the universe, and the laws of all things? Isn't that a mental illness?
Philosophers can't even figure that out, so why is a scientist joining in the fun? Getting beaten to death in the end is just asking for it.
Furthermore, I suspect that Nuwa might have something wrong with her. All of her descendants end up in tragedy because of the mission of being a Nuwa descendant, yet in the Primordial World, even though Nuwa created humans, she never cared for them. She didn't even care when the Demon Clan refined the Human-Slaughtering Sword using humans. Yet, the Nuwa descendants in this world act as if they've been brainwashed, sacrificing their lives for humanity.
Back then, Qing Er revealed her true form to fight the floods in order to save the Nanzhao Kingdom, which was being submerged. But those ignorant and ungrateful citizens, after being brainwashed by the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, actually wanted to burn her to death. In the end, Qing Er still sacrificed herself to seal the Water Demon Beast. It really wasn't worth it for her.
It wasn't worth it for her to die protecting that bunch of ungrateful Nanzhao citizens, nor was it worth it for that husband of hers who lacked any sense of responsibility.
Speaking of which, Qing Er is unlucky enough. First, she was sealed for many years by her love-struck mother, Zi Xuan. When she first blossomed in love, she met that scumbag, the Sword Saint. After marrying the Witch King of Nanzhao, she was treated as a demon by his ignorant self, and finally, she sacrificed herself for a group of people who wanted to kill her. Her whole life was a tragedy.
It seems I need to find a way to extract the Nuwa bloodline from Linger's body so she can get rid of this pathetic and ridiculous mission.
Later, I'll find a way to bring Qing Er back to life. I just don't know if there is a Zi Xuan in this world. Probably not, right? Otherwise, why would she completely ignore her own descendants?
The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 is about destiny, but I am someone who simply doesn't believe in fate. History will be changed by me.
It's getting late, so I'll write this much for today. Tomorrow, I'll be able to see Linger!】
Lin Fan finished writing his diary and began to check today's diary rewards, discovering that there were still three rewards today.
The first reward is the Five Thunders Correct Heaven Art. Isn't this the supreme thunder art that was lost by the Yi Garden and later obtained by the protagonist, Lu Yun? Not bad.
The second is the Purple and Blue Twin Swords, which are the Ziying and Qingsuo swords.
The third reward is one time-travel opportunity, which can be used to travel back to the Nanzhao Kingdom ten years ago.
System, you understand me too well. I can actually travel back ten years! It's a pity that my current strength is still insufficient to kill the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader. Otherwise, if I traveled back and killed him and the Water Demon Beast, wouldn't everything that followed never happen?
"Detected that diary owner Lin Fan has completed the diary check-in. Now beginning to draw diary rewards... Congratulations to Qing Er for obtaining the reward: Soul Indestructible Art. As time passes and the world changes, only my soul remains indestructible and eternal."
"There is such a miraculous art? If so, Qing Er shouldn't sacrifice herself to seal the Water Demon Beast anymore, right? At the very least, she can preserve the remnants of her soul. But she was actually able to receive a reward—could it be that she obtained a diary copy ten years ago?"
The women were somewhat envious upon seeing Qing Er receive the Soul Indestructible Art, while simultaneously falling into deep thought.
After all, according to Lin Fan's meaning, this Nuwa descendant sacrificed herself ten years ago to seal the Water Demon Beast, yet she was able to receive a reward. This indicates that the Qing Er of ten years ago obtained a diary. It seems this diary copy can not only ignore spatial distance but also traverse the long river of time.
Who exactly is Lin Fan, why is he so mysterious, and what kind of divine artifact is this diary copy? Why has there never been any record of it?
Lin Fan, meanwhile, had a good sleep, and then in the early hours of the next day, he used the time-travel opportunity to return to the Nanzhao Kingdom ten years ago.
"Li Xiaoyao, why are you here, kid!"
Lin Fan had just wanted to go to the execution ground to find Qing Er, but he saw a bewildered Li Xiaoyao. The Li Xiaoyao before him was carrying an iron sword and a wooden sword, indicating that he had already left Yu Hang Town and was not the Li Xiaoyao from the shopkeeper period he first knew.
"Great Hero, it's you? Long time no see. I don't even know how I got here. Where is this?"
Li Xiaoyao was somewhat helpless; he also wanted to know how he had arrived here.
"Forget it, I'm going to save Qing Er, no time to reminisce with you!"
Lin Fan had just wanted to ask more, but he suddenly heard a commotion ahead. His expression changed, and he immediately rushed forward.
"Hey, Great Hero, wait for me!"
Li Xiaoyao hurriedly followed behind Lin Fan, running forward.
"Kill the Empress, execute the demon!"
"Kill the Empress, execute the demon!"
"Kill the Empress, execute the demon!"
……
On the execution ground, amidst the synchronized shouting of the commoners, Qing Er, bound by chains, slowly walked onto the execution platform.
"Qing Er, I have failed you!"
The King of Witchcraft looked at Qing'er with a helpless expression. Qing'er was his wife, yet she now faced a public trial by the commoners; it was his own incompetence as a husband.
"Your Majesty, I have never blamed you. For you, sentencing me is harder than making any other decision."
Qing Er looked deeply at the Witch King; she could understand his helplessness.
"She is a demon who destroyed the country, she must be killed!"
The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader in the crowd watched Qing Er silently for a while, then began to incite the people.
"Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!"
Under the incitement of the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, the commoners let out even louder shouts. The pressure from the people left the cowardly and incompetent Witch King at a loss, but Qing Er, facing judgment, remained composed, without a trace of fear on her face.
"Cult Leader, why are you so certain the Empress is a demon?"
"Your Majesty, do not be deceived by the demon again, you must investigate clearly!"
The Witch King was still attempting to reason with the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, but unfortunately, the latter couldn't even be bothered to explain.
"Kill her, kill her!"
Hearing the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's intent, the cultists and commoners began to shout again, and even when the Witch King yelled for silence, no one paid him any mind.
From this, it is evident that the Witch King was merely a puppet, and the Nanzhao Kingdom had completely fallen under the control of the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader.
