She became a god

“Zhouzhou, call Xuanyuan Yi and Nuxi to the Underworld right now.”

"Jing, go and convey Yao Dan's spirit."

Ye Qingzhou exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Yao Dan hasn't reincarnated yet?"

"She harbors resentment, which is why she is reluctant to reincarnate. It is also my fault for not being able to help her. She should have reunited with her childhood sweetheart after Xuanyuan Yi broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, and had a filial son, a talented daughter, and a virtuous husband."

Anqi sighed, "If the woman hadn't changed her mind, I could have given her the best possible process and ending within her predetermined destiny."

"But the resentful woman changed her mind. Yao Dan died young, without benefiting from the child's life or hearing the love of her former lover. Naturally, she felt wronged and resentful."

Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh, "Master meant well, but it's all that vengeful woman's fault for breaking her promise, which has caused so much trouble for Senior Yao Dan and made Master suffer too."

"However, I don't understand why Master said that Senior Yao Dan and the Wraith have some connection?"

Angie sighed softly, "That's another old story."

Tens of thousands of years ago, a tree spirit was born in the Nine Netherworld.

At the same time, a spirit was born on the land of the Western Continent.

The earth spirit and the tree spirit were living peacefully on their own until they met.

Wood overcomes Earth Spirit, and the Earth Spirit fell deeply in love with the Tree Spirit the moment she saw her.

Even knowing that the tree spirit was his tribulation, the earth spirit was willing to die.

After the earth spirit dies, its soul is reincarnated continuously until the earth veins of the Western Continent are peaceful and stable.

The tree spirit plucked a Nine Nether Fruit, watered it with its own heart's blood, and nurtured its intelligence, allowing it to continuously reincarnate with the earth spirits.

As the spiritual energy dwindled, the tree spirit dissipated, and the earth spirit was completely annihilated in the cycle of reincarnation. Only the Nine Nether Fruit continued to reincarnate.

Yao Dan is the reincarnation of this Nine Nether Fruit.

If they weren't both beings from the Nine Netherworld, Yao Dan would have exploded and died the moment the vengeful goddess's soul entered her womb, and wouldn't have survived until after childbirth.

It was precisely because of Yao Dan's unique background that An Qi allowed her to linger in the underworld for hundreds of years without being reincarnated.

Beneath her feet lay the land of Xizhou. The moment Yao Dan entered the underworld, the earth's veins rejoiced because of her.

It seemed to be the only remaining consciousness of the earth spirit wanting to give her the best protection.

But Yao Dan was not moved by this special protection; she felt resentful, and that feeling remains unchanged to this day.

"Why should my fate be decided by Your Majesty?"

"Although Yao Dan is in the human realm, she has heard the demon realm's 'Women are inherently demigods.' Since creating life is my right, why can Your Majesty insert a life into my womb without my consent?"

"Does His Majesty's power supersede a mother's right to give birth?"

None of the cultivators expected Yao Dan to be so bold; once she spoke, she shocked the entire audience.

Faced with Yao Dan's questioning, An Qi did not deny it. Although the resentful woman who broke the contract chose Yao Dan as her mother to be born, if An Qi had not obscured the laws of reincarnation, the part of the resentful woman's clear consciousness would not have had the chance to be reborn. Instead, as an alien species from the old era, she would have all her consciousness devoured in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm and gradually dissipate into this world.

Anqi is the ruler of the underworld, and Yao Dan came under her jurisdiction after her death.

For Yao Dan, Anqi is like imperial power.

Clearly, this woman, enraged, no longer cared about the oppressive power of the emperor; she only wanted to know why her maternal rights could be so easily trampled upon.

“I am a woman, just like you. But my marriage is arranged by my parents and the matchmaker. My feelings are not important. My parents treat me as a sacrifice, my husband treats me as a trophy, and my childhood sweetheart sees me as a unique treasure he has never had.”

"I want to rebel, but fate won't give me the chance. Is it because I'm too weak? So weak that I can't even decide my own life?"

Yao Dan burst into tears of grief and indignation, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Even if I am weak and have no power to decide my own life, do I not even have the power to decide what happens to my own body?"

"Why? Why should I be forced to give birth to a child I don't love and then develop maternal instincts to raise him?"

"Why, after I've already accepted a tragic fate, do you have to give me a life I never expected!"

"Moreover, the price of this life was built upon my life!"

Ye Qingzhou originally wanted to ask Yao Dan if she would feel maternal for a child she never expected to be born, but now she didn't need to ask; she already knew Yao Dan's answer.

"Your Majesty, Lord of the Underworld who controls reincarnation, why was my birth to perpetuate the regret between the Nine Nether Tree Spirit and the Western Continent Earth Spirit, and my death to fulfill the wish of the wronged woman?"

"Why is the power of life and death not in my hands? Why can't I even fully control my most basic maternal rights as a woman?"

Why can't my life and death be determined by my likes and dislikes?

……

Yao Dan's series of questions struck the hearts of every living being like a thunderclap.

This is no longer just a battle between imperial power and matriarchal power; it also involves an eternal question that lingers in the minds of all people: all things have spirits, and those with spirits seek advantage and avoid harm, and embrace change and innovation. Can they change their own destiny?

Finally, Anqi spoke, saying, "In Heaven, your destiny is predetermined. On Earth, the fate of the land is governed by its own laws. Within the Six Realms, you are bound by their teachings and cannot transcend them. If you can break free from the shackles of these laws, your life and death will be unaffected, and your destiny will be entirely your own."

Upon hearing this, Yao Dan burst into uncontrollable laughter, "I'm still too weak!"

"Because of my weakness, Your Majesty does not need to compensate me for my suffering. You only need to tell me lightly that fate is fixed, and I can no longer resist. Your Majesty, my heart is not at peace!"

Yao Dan let her tears fall, letting sorrow fill her eyes. She looked at An Qi as if accusing her, as if cursing her, or as if she saw something. "Your Majesty, I, the supreme Lord of the Underworld, will endure the devouring of ten thousand ghosts, you will suffer the pain of reincarnation, you will be at the mercy of fate, until you transcend the six realms."

Ye Qingzhou's face turned pale, and he silently began to calculate, but then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"It is both a great misfortune and a great fortune. The wheel of fate turns once more; going downstream is to face death with equanimity, while going upstream is to be reborn from the ashes."

Meeting Ye Qingzhou and Meng Jing's worried gazes, An Qi smiled gently.

“I do not need your curses, nor am I afraid of fate’s arrangements. I am different from you; I have the right to change my destiny, while you do not.”

Anqi's indifference ultimately broke down Yao Dan's last psychological defense.

So, after Xuanyuan Yi and Nuxi arrived, Yao Dan looked at them coldly and said, "I never thought of giving birth to you. You are my shame and a symbol of my weakness and incompetence."

She looked at Xuanyuan Yi, at this outstanding young man, and said cruelly, "Although I inevitably developed a maternal feeling because of you, your birth was not my wish."
