Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

"I will live on, with my wife!" Hua Gengchen said with great certainty, brushing the stray hairs from Su Bai's forehead to the side and lowering his head to leave a kiss on Su Bai's brow.

Bai Ze really didn't know how to advise him when he saw this.

Li Chengtian felt this was a good opportunity to seize the earth's veins, so he decisively made his move while Hua Gengchen's attention was on Su Bai.

He couldn't take all of the repaired ley lines, but he could take a small section, just like a thousand years ago!

To save Su Yangxia, he didn't care if he was plagued by backlash for the rest of his life, or if he could never become a god, as long as Su Yangxia could stay by their side!

Just as Li Chengtian's hand was about to touch the earth's veins, before the earth's veins could even begin to resist, Hua Gengchen made the first move, "These are my wife's things!" No one but his wife can take them away!

Li Chengtian did not expect Hua Gengchen to make a sudden move. Once an attack has been launched, it is not easy to change. He could only meet Hua Gengchen's attack head-on.

Hua Gengchen showed no mercy in his attack, and Li Chengtian was forced to retreat a great distance, which terrified Su Yangxia, whose life was already hanging by a thread.

"It's all your fault!" You've ruined his wife's life.

Hua Gengchen gently put Su Bai down and added another layer of protection around her. "Wife, wait for me, I'll take you home right away!"

The moment Hua Gengchen looked up, his eyes changed, becoming cold, crazed, and filled with an undisguised murderous intent that sent chills down one's spine.

Hua Gengchen approached Li Chengtian step by step. He was the culprit behind all of this. If it weren't for him, how could his wife have become like this?

Su Yangxia was extremely anxious upon seeing this. Li Chengtian was injured, and Hua Gengchen was now like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins. No one knew what he would do.

Hua Gengchen hasn't shown his true strength for many years because the Heavenly Dao has been monitoring him. He has been cultivating his character for many years. This time, no matter what the Heavenly Dao does to him, he will make Li Chengtian and Su Yangxia pay with their lives!

Li Chengtian hadn't expected that he hadn't tested Hua Gengchen's true strength beforehand. In just over ten moves, Hua Gengchen would be injured by every single one of them, even if he managed to block the attacks.

"How can your strength be so high?" This doesn't make any sense at all. Hua Gengchen's strength is enough to easily defeat him; it's practically the strength of a god.

"Go ask the King of Hell!" Hua Gengchen was ruthless. If he hadn't concealed his true strength to deal with Li Chengtian beforehand, things wouldn't have developed to this point. He already regretted it!

What is the way of heaven, what is responsibility, none of them are as important as his wife!

Hua Gengchen's attacks were all deadly, forcing Li Chengtian to defend passively and prevent them from killing him. But all of this was unbearable to the critically injured Su Yangxia. Li Chengtian was such a proud and confident person; when had he ever been so thoroughly dominated like this?

As Hua Gengchen attacked Li Chengtian's vital point again, Su Yangxia, not knowing where she got the strength, flew in front of Li Chengtian and blocked the attack for him.

"Ah Xia!" Li Chengtian's expression immediately turned panicked, and he hurriedly reached out to catch Su Yangxia. "Ah Xia, why are you so foolish?"

This move might injure him, but it wouldn't kill him. Why would Su Yangxia block it for him?

Su Yangxia coughed up a lot of blood as soon as she opened her mouth, and was unable to speak. With all her might, she raised her arm, gently stroked Li Chengtian's face, and whispered, "Live well!" After saying that, Su Yangxia's arm fell straight to the ground like an autumn leaf.

Seeing this, Li Chengtian quickly grabbed Su Yangxia's hand and brought it close to his face. "No, no, Xia, open your eyes and look at me! Look at me!"

No matter how Li Chengtian called Su Yangxia's name, Su Yangxia did not respond. After Li Chengtian hugged Su Yangxia and shouted, his originally black hair turned snow-white, and his black and white eyes turned blood red. He exuded the same madness as Hua Gengchen from the inside out, "Hua Gengchen, you deserve to die!"

Li Chengtian once again borrowed the power of the Black Forest, and Hua Gengchen displayed a power completely different from the past. He also needed to use some special methods to avenge Su Yangxia!

As for the consequences, that was no longer within Li Chengtian's consideration.

Bai Ze watched from the sidelines as the two most powerful individuals went mad for the sake of their beloved, and felt a deep sense of sympathy for them.

The word "love" is truly unfathomable!

It can make you feel as sweet as honey, or as painful as having your wrist bone cut. What's most uncontrollable is that it can make you become someone you don't recognize, and yet you still enjoy it.

The fight between Hua Gengchen and Li Chengtian was so loud that the aftershocks alone were enough to cause a lot of trouble. Bai Ze, being weak, could only hide next to Su Bai.

Upon approaching Su Bai, Bai Ze discovered a startling fact: Su Bai's heart meridian was actually protected by dragon scales and an unknown power, preventing Su Bai's life force from being completely severed.

Bai Ze was both surprised and frightened. He rubbed his eyes hard, afraid that he was seeing a hallucination. But when he looked again, what had just happened seemed like a hallucination, as if it had never occurred.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Ze wanted to go forward to check on Su Bai's condition, but before he could get close, he was blocked by the restriction set up by Hua Gengchen, and had no way to get close to check on Su Bai's specific condition.

Bai Ze was so anxious that he stomped his feet. He had no idea whether what he had just seen was a hallucination, and given the current situation, he couldn't just say the news directly. But if he didn't say anything, how could he remind Hua Gengchen to lift the restriction so that he could carefully check on Su Bai's condition?

Bai Ze turned his gaze back to Hua Gengchen, silently praying, "Hua Gengchen, you must defeat Li Chengtian!"

Once Hua Gengchen returns victorious, he will be able to thoroughly examine Su Bai's condition. If what he discovers is true, then Heaven's will is not so ruthless after all.

Bai Ze's plan was thorough, but unfortunately, things didn't go as he expected.

As expected, the backlash from Li Chengtian occurred halfway through his decisive battle with Hua Gengchen. Normally, Li Chengtian would need to use most of his strength to suppress the backlash, but now that he had used power that wasn't his own, the backlash was even more ferocious.

Li Chengtian secretly resented that the backlash came too quickly, leaving him no time to deal with Hua Gengchen, let alone avenge Su Yangxia. "Hua Gengchen, what good will it do you to kill me? Su Bai still paid the price for our deaths!"

"My wife isn't dead!" Hua Gengchen's eyes were bloodshot as he gripped Li Chengtian's neck, his fingertips turning white, but he refused to loosen his grip. "My wife is just asleep, she's not dead!"

"Hahaha!" Li Chengtian laughed silently, because he couldn't laugh out loud at all. "Hua Gengchen, you've finally met your match!"

"Since we're both doing this for the sake of what we love, how about I tell you a secret?"

Li Chengtian suddenly wanted to see which one Hua Gengchen would choose when faced with the love in his heart and the responsibility that Hua Gengchen had borne for tens of thousands of years.

"What password?" Hua Gengchen asked sternly.

Li Chengtian raised an eyebrow. "Of course, it's the secret of saving Su Bai..."

"Speak!" Hua Gengchen gripped Li Chengtian's neck even tighter; he would never let go of any opportunity to save Su Bai!

Li Cheng patted Hua Gengchen's hand several times, wanting him to say whether he should be given a chance to speak first.

Hua Gengchen glanced at Li Chengtian warily. This man was very cunning, and it was hard to say whether he was deceiving him. However, Li Chengtian was currently suffering from the backlash and had no chance of escaping from his grasp.

However, just to be on the safe side, Hua Gengchen still kept Su Yangxia's body in his own hands. "If you dare to deceive me, I will grind Su Yangxia to dust right in front of you."

Li Chengtian dared not speak out in anger, "Fine, you win!" It has to be said that Hua Gengchen really had his lifeline in his grasp, "There is only one way to save Su Bai, integrate the earth veins into his body."

Hua Gengchen frowned upon hearing this. "Why should I believe you?" The power of the earth veins is immense. Even with his help, Su Bai's body is not strong enough to contain the power of the earth veins. Moreover, who would do something as crazy as integrating the earth veins into their body? Aren't they afraid that the earth veins will burst their body?

Li Chengtian said nothing. He ripped open his clothes, revealing a three-inch bulge on his chest. "The facts are right in front of you. What else do you not believe?"

Hua Gengchen's gaze lingered on that protrusion for a long time before he finally said, "You just wanted to seize the earth vein, not only to use it to become a god, but also to save Su Yangxia!"

Li Chengtian nodded, "But even if I seize the earth vein now, it's useless, A-Xia is already dead!" As he said this, Li Chengtian's eyes were filled with hatred. He clearly had a chance to save Su Yangxia, but because of Hua Gengchen, he missed the last chance to save Su Yangxia.

"But my wife..." is already dead.

Hua Gengchen was unwilling to admit that Su Bai was dead, and naturally he couldn't bring himself to say the word. He tried to deceive himself, thinking that as long as he didn't say it, Su Bai could stay by his side forever, for all eternity, never to be separated.

"Of course I know!" But Li Chengtian still wanted to see if Hua Gengchen would really risk everything to gamble on that sliver of a chance between the human and demon realms.

The hand gripping his neck tightened suddenly, and Hua Gengchen said fiercely, "You lied to me?"

"I haven't finished speaking yet!" Li Chengtian didn't expect Hua Gengchen to lack even this much patience. "A-Xia's situation is different from Su Bai's. If you do it now, there might still be a glimmer of hope!"

This is something Li Chengtian is unwilling to admit, because it's all his fault that Su Yangxia is implicated. If Su Yangxia hadn't been with him, she wouldn't have been entangled in so much karma, to the point that Heaven wouldn't have given her any chance. Once she seized an opportunity, Su Yangxia would only face certain death.

"Hua Gengchen, I have to remind you, even if we use the earth's veins to save Su Bai, it's not guaranteed that we can save him!" Li Chengtian wanted to know whether Hua Gengchen would firmly choose the one he loved when faced with an obvious choice.

Hua Gengchen remained silent for a while. Before Li Chengtian could react, he plunged a sword into Li Chengtian's chest, severing his heart meridian, and then returned Su Yangxia to him.

It wasn't that he didn't believe Li Chengtian, but he really didn't dare to gamble anymore; it was time for Li Chengtian to meet his maker.
