Tang Yu and Zhe Yan clearly understood the veiled sarcasm in Bai Qian's words.
The two exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat puzzled.
Having not seen each other for many years, the two noticed that Bai Qian had taken her eyes back, and her overall demeanor was even more carefree and unrestrained.
But it seems like she's gotten herself into a grudge with Emperor Donghua.
Zheyan then asked, "How did you come to be here? Also, did Emperor Donghua offend you?"
Bai Qian's face showed a complicated expression, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes as she said helplessly.
"Of course, Emperor Donghua did not offend me, but Xiao Jiu, in order to repay the debt of gratitude, went directly to the harem of the human emperors during Emperor Donghua's tribulation."
I was scolded by my second brother, so I had no choice but to come to the mortal realm to see how Feng Jiu was doing. I just arrived in the capital and happened to detect your presence.
Tang Yu suddenly realized, a look of understanding flashing in her eyes.
It turns out that Bai Qian appeared here for Bai Fengjiu's sake.
Tang Yu's lips curled into a mocking smile, and she laughed mercilessly.
"The tribulation that Emperor Donghua is talking about is being an emperor in the human world, possessing all the power and wealth of the human world, and experiencing the suffering of the human world in this identity."
Then you, Bai Fengjiu of Qingqiu, went to repay your debt of gratitude, allowing Emperor Donghua to gain wealth and power, plus a beautiful woman. I really don't understand what kind of tribulation this is going through?
Having said that, Tang Yu thought about it more and more and felt that it didn't make sense, so she couldn't help but continue.
"It's fine for a deity to descend to earth and undergo tribulations as a mortal, but having a predetermined fate means treating everyone around you like supporting characters in a puppet show, just going through the motions. Isn't that incredibly boring?"
"That's right. At least it should be like when I went through my love tribulation, without any outside interference."
Bai Qian nodded in deep agreement and then continued.
"I'm going to catch Feng Jiu now. You two remember to let me know when you get back to the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest. I haven't visited in a long time, and the wine is almost gone."
Tang Yu and Zhe Yan nodded in agreement, and then bid farewell to Bai Qian.
Looking at Tang Yu, who was frowning and still looked somewhat displeased, Zheyan asked softly.
Why be unhappy because of other people's problems? You know I've long since retired from the world and no longer concern myself with worldly affairs.
As for the affairs of the Heavenly Palace, and the affairs of other gods, demons, and monsters, I will not interfere. We can just live our own lives.
Tang Yu shook her head slightly, her eyes filled with confusion. She couldn't explain why she was unhappy.
I just feel that gods should be able to bring rain and clouds, slay demons, and protect the peace of the world.
It's one thing to fight for territory with demons and monsters, but it's utterly pointless for them to go to the human world to undergo tribulations and have a bunch of mortals act as puppets.
After having this thought, Tang Yu felt that perhaps deep down she preferred being human, which was why she was dissatisfied with the behavior of these immortals and felt that they were making trouble for no reason.
So Tang Yu told Zhe Yan what he was thinking.
"Zheyan, I think it's wrong to predetermine a person's fate."
There are infinite possibilities for what kind of life one can experience.
If we live a predetermined life, then there's something wrong with the world!
Chapter 15 Three Lives Three Worlds 15
As soon as Tang Yu finished speaking, a strange thought suddenly popped into her mind.
She seems capable of changing this situation.
Thinking this, Tang Yu ran to her space and took out a large pile of books.
Zheyan curiously flipped through a few books, then asked with a smile.
“The other worlds that Yu’er went to seem to be much more exciting, and these books are quite interesting.”
It's very interesting; they are books that introduce future technologies.
However, with so many gods and demons in this world, and monsters often attacking the human realm, and gods still need to control the clouds and rain, it is probably not the time for the human race to rise.
After this conclusion naturally came to her mind, Tang Yu chuckled.
"I cannot interfere with the fate of mortals, but I can place a bunch of books in various bookstores in the human world."
If Heaven doesn't allow this to happen, then the destined person won't appear; if Heaven doesn't care, then what I'm doing is right.
After hearing Tang Yu's decision, Zheyan's eyes flashed with approval.
He thought for a moment, then smiled and offered a suggestion.
"Yu'er, why don't we travel around the human world?"
Upon arriving in each town, he carefully placed these books in the local library, awaiting their destined owner.
Tang Yu listened to Zhe Yan's indulgent words and a playful smile appeared on her face.
She tilted her head and asked with a smile, "Don't you think I'm being ridiculous? This kind of behavior might disrupt some kind of balance in the world."
Zheyan gently shook his head, his face full of tenderness.
He smiled and reached out to embrace the person in front of him.
“I can tell the difference between good and bad. Yu’er, if fate is to grant your wish, then our upcoming journey will successfully help the human race rise.”
If fate is determined to thwart this, after we put our books in, the library may unexpectedly suffer a disaster, burying all the books.
So there's no need to worry, we just need to do what we want to do.
Tang Yu leaned against Zhe Yan's chest, thought about it, and felt that what he said made sense.
The slight hesitation in her heart vanished instantly, and she nodded firmly.
"Then there's no need to worry about it. Just follow your heart and do what you want to do."
So the two continued their leisurely travels.
They traveled through mountains and rivers, and through bustling towns. Wherever they went, they found the local bookstores and placed their books there.
Days passed by, time flowed by quietly, and decades flew by in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the warm sunlight shone on the carved window frames of the teahouse, where Tang Yu and Zhe Yan were enjoying a comfortable rest.
Zheyan picked up a cup of tea, took a small sip, and the aroma spread across his tongue, bringing him a sense of tranquility. Tang Yu closed his eyes slightly, enjoying this moment of peace.
Suddenly, the air seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, and a slight ripple came from it.
Without warning, Emperor Donghua, having completed his tribulation, appeared before the couple.
Emperor Donghua, dressed in a purple robe, stood tall and straight with a stern face. However, at this moment, his expression was particularly heavy, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep worry.
He looked directly at Tang Yu and Zhe Yan, and asked in a low and solemn voice.
"I observed that the way of Heaven has changed, and the fortune of the human race has suddenly increased significantly."
These days, I can no longer see the future; it seems as if a powerful force is quietly changing everything in the universe.
I can't predict what the future will hold, but through deduction, I can determine that this matter is related to you two. What exactly are you doing?
As expected of the former ruler of heaven and earth, Emperor Donghua possessed keen senses and was able to perceive such subtle yet significant changes in the world.
Upon hearing this, Zheyan took the lead in explaining, sitting up slightly and looking calmly at Emperor Donghua.
"I was originally a phoenix, and after countless years, I will eventually cultivate into human form; you were originally a stone, and through your cultivation, you will also eventually become human."
From the very beginning, Heaven has shown special favor to the human race, so the rise of the human race was simply in line with the general trend.
Does this mean that only immortals are allowed to fly through the air, while humans are destined to be confined to the earth?
For hundreds of thousands of years, the gods have mostly lived unchanging lives, while the human race, in a mere hundred years, has been able to work hard generation after generation, constantly changing their world and creating many useful things.
All of this was destined to happen.
Emperor Donghua listened quietly, lost in thought. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze revealing a thoughtful light, and slowly spoke.
"What you said is not wrong, but I always feel that something is missing."
If we allow demonic beasts to run rampant in the human world, the human race, with its current strength, simply cannot withstand them.
If this continues, how can humanity hope to rise again?
During their years of travel, Tang Yu and Zhe Yan had always maintained a natural mindset and didn't care whether things progressed quickly or slowly.
However, upon hearing what Emperor Donghua said, the two couldn't help but feel doubtful, as if something crucial was indeed missing.
Just then, a bold idea flashed through Tang Yu's mind like lightning.
She blurted out instinctively, "Could it be that the Way of Heaven is flawed?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Donghua Dijun's expression changed abruptly.
His eyes widened suddenly, a flash of enlightenment appearing in them, and his aura began to become disordered.
In an instant, the once clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Thick streaks of lightning flashed through the clouds, producing a deafening roar.
A mysterious and powerful force seemed to be pulling at Donghua Dijun from the shadows, causing his body to tremble slightly involuntarily.
Zheyan and Tang Yu were both surprised to see this. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt and worry.
Zheyan instinctively stepped in front of Tang Yu, warily observing everything around him.
Tang Yu stared intently at Donghua Dijun, trying to find a clue from his changes.
Donghua Dijun slowly closed his eyes, his brows furrowed, as if he were communicating with and resisting some powerful force.
A tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the air, as if the whole world was waiting for a major change.
Beneath the sky filled with lightning and thunder, the aura surrounding Emperor Donghua grew increasingly violent, like a surging tsunami or a raging storm.
His hair flew wildly in the wind, his clothes fluttered in the wind, and he seemed to become the only focus of attention in the world.
As the pull of that mysterious force intensified, Donghua Dijun's body slowly floated in mid-air.
He kept his eyes tightly shut, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, his face slightly contorted with pain. Yet, between his brows, there was a resolute and unwavering determination.
"Donghua!" Zheyan couldn't help but shout, his voice full of concern and anxiety.
He tried to move forward, but was violently pushed away by an invisible force, almost losing his balance.
