Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

"Do you have a name?" Bai Qingqing asked, looking at the little fairy.

"I have no name, please bestow one upon me, Master."

I am just a newly ascended immortal, and worldly affairs are all in the past.

Xiao Xian is not a servant and does not need to refer to herself as a servant.

Bai Qingqing: "Then you can be called Yunshang."

Yunshang: "Thank you, Master."

She's a quiet, fairy-like girl.

The whole city was looking up at the sky, gazing upon the abode of the gods.

As night deepened and no deities appeared, everyone went home to rest.

This is also a great source of amusement for the people at night.

Some are crazy; instead of sleeping, they find a tavern and drink while facing the temple.

Some people kneel and worship in front of the palace every morning and evening, eat vegetarian food every day, and pray for everything to go smoothly in their homes.

Families with sick members pray even more fervently.

Some literary figures even returned home to write poems about what they had seen and heard, their excitement beyond words, which they could only express by writing down their poems.

Poems about immortals can be passed down for thousands of years, but that's a story for later.

People thousands of years from now can learn about the world of gods from current records.

Any topic involving deities has always been a popular one.

Xuanyuan Yuan couldn't sleep either, so he took advantage of the night to write down what he had seen and heard that day and send it to his father, the Emperor.

The letter also stated that he was not going back now, but wanted to see if he could meet the immortals in person.

The appearance of the immortals made Xuanyuan Yu'an realize that the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to change.

After finishing writing, he handed it to An Er and asked him to send it back to the palace overnight.

To keep a low profile, only Dark Guards Two and Three were brought along this time, while Dark Guard One and the rest of the guards remained in the capital.

It's been over a month since I left home, and I imagine my mother must be worried about me.

But we can't go back yet.

The only thing I can do is have my father convey this message to my mother through a letter.

Xuanyuan Yu'an was the third son of Emperor Xuanyuan Zhen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, born to the Empress.

The Empress had three sons. The eldest princess, Xuanyuan Yulan, married the second son of the Prime Minister Li family, who was also the emperor's son-in-law.

The third prince, also known as Xuanyuan Yu'an, has reached the age of twenty.

The fifth prince, Xuanyuan Chengyu, was still in his prime (15 years old) and studying in the Imperial Study.

The Emperor had five sons and three daughters, plus the three born to the Empress.

Because the emperor and empress had a deep affection for each other, the princesses and princes born to the empress were favored.

Everyone knows that Xuanyuan Yu'an, the Empress's legitimate son, is the Emperor's preferred candidate for Crown Prince.

The second princess and the fourth prince were both born to Consort Chen.

Consort Chen's maternal family was the Chen family, which was the Grand Commandant of the current dynasty.

The sixth prince was born to Consort Shu.

Consort Shu is the youngest daughter of General Zhao of the General's Mansion. The people fighting on the border now are General Zhao and Consort Shu's two older brothers.

The seventh prince was born to Consort Jiang. Consort Jiang's family background was not prominent, and she was only made a consort because she gave birth to the seventh prince.

The Eighth Princess was born to Consort Yun.

The Lingxiao Palace of the Imperial Palace.

It was the place where the emperor handled official business.

The middle-aged emperor sitting on the dragon throne behind the imperial desk was Emperor Xuanyuan Zhen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

His face was solemn and dignified, and his whole aura was full of nobility and majesty.

His brows revealed a hint of vicissitude, and his eyes were deep and profound.

Looking at the contents of the memorial in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly.

After reading it, I wasn't sure, so I read it again.

immortal?

Did you see it with your own eyes? You can tell the writer was in high spirits, his tone filled with disbelief and excitement.

Seeing that the pen had been written by the magistrate of Huzhou County, Xuanyuan Zhen frowned in thought.

A cup of tea's time has passed.

"Go to Huzhou County and investigate," he said to the air.

A cold, emotionless voice echoed in the air: "Yes."

A figure disappeared from Lingxiao Palace and headed towards Huzhou.

Xuanyuan Zhen pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to calm himself down.

Do immortals really exist in this world?

Does that mean I will be able to meet the gods?

Could the Great Zhou Dynasty resolve the natural disasters?

Do immortals have an elixir of immortality?

I felt a little excited thinking about this.

The current emperor has been on the throne for twenty years and is now in his fifties. He should be able to live for another ten or so years.

Everyone is afraid of death, especially those with power and influence, let alone the emperor.

But everyone gets sick from eating grains and other foods. Even the most noble person is not immune to illness, no matter how good the food they eat.

Moreover, natural disasters have occurred frequently in recent years, with a severe drought this year and fighting on the border.

The emperor was working tirelessly, handling state affairs every day, and his health was deteriorating.

Immortals are different; they can live without eating human food and are immortal.

If you could offer even the slightest benefit, it would be something that ordinary people could never afford.

Xuanyuan Zhen's inner longing for immortals was genuine.

As time went on, the drought worsened, and there was no water left. Many people were on the verge of collapse.

Bai Qingqing also quickened her pace, traveling throughout the entire north.

"It's raining, it's raining."

"We don't have to die of thirst anymore. Look, aren't those grasses growing?"

"Am I dreaming? I'm really growing up."

One of them said, "I heard that immortals appeared in the Jiangzhou area. Where the immortals passed by, it rained and the grass and trees grew luxuriantly."

He paused, then added, "I thought it was a rumor before, but seeing the trees growing today, it seems to be true."

"Why don't we go to Jiangzhou? Maybe we can meet the immortals and never have to die of thirst again."

"Yes, we also want to see the gods."

They had already given up hope when the rain suddenly started, like a glimmer of hope in the face of adversity, and they all wanted to seize the opportunity.

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately. Carrying the rainwater they had collected, they dug up newly grown wild vegetables to fill their stomachs and set off towards Jiangzhou.

In many places, large groups gather and head in one direction.

*

Inside a cave, a middle-aged man looked at his unconscious wife and child, crying in despair and helplessness.

"God is cruel, He won't let people live."

When the whole village fled famine, one family followed the main group, but they were robbed along the way and got separated.

The man led his wife and children into the mountains and found a cave to stop temporarily.

Unfortunately, the only remaining water source and food supplies were exhausted.

The drought is getting worse and worse; there is nothing left to eat, and not a drop of water can be found.

My wife and children have been traveling for many days and are feeling weak and exhausted. They can't go a few days without water.

I'm about to give up myself.

Just as my consciousness began to fade, I heard the sound of rain pouring down.

The man roused himself, regardless of whether he was dreaming or not, and ran outside. Seeing that it was raining heavily, he laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha, we're saved! Yuan Niang, Xiao Bao, wake up! There's water!"

Take a water jug, fill it with water, and feed it to the person. Once the person wakes up, drink the water yourself.

"Where did the water come from? Am I dead?" Yuan Niang said in a daze.

"Father, Mother, Xiao Bao finally has water to drink."

"Hahaha, it's raining! Heaven has smiled upon us, we don't have to die now."

The three of them ran out into the heavy rain and got soaked, then filled everything they could with water.

Similar scenes are unfolding in different places.

Bai Qingqing: "System, can't we just make it rain all at once? Why do we have to go to every single place?"

Rain God System: "Letting more people see the host is beneficial for collecting faith."

Bai Qingqing: "Then we can find the most powerful person to announce it to the world, right? Then everyone will know and come here because of their reputation."

Rain God System: "That's possible, but for such a large-scale rainfall in one go, a ritual must be performed and the public must pray for blessings."

In that way, faith will be endless.

Bai Qingqing: "That's still more convenient than going to different places one by one."
