Chapter 1000: River of Time and Space

At the Immortal Star Empire...

Star Emperor’s throne. The rumors about the return of the former Moon Empress to the Everlasting Moon Palace had reached the ears of the Immortal Star Emperor, Xing Xieju. He tried to use divination to peek at the secrets of the Moon Goddess before and he was blocked by the Heavenly Laws and suffered a backlash. This time he tried to divine something about the person, Yue Xuehua, instead of Yue Xuexia. Unexpectedly, this divination wasn’t blocked by the Heavenly Laws and the Immortal Star Emperor had found himself at the river of stars somewhere within the boundary of each timeline at some kind of separate space and time. He had fallen into the river of time and space.

In there the Immortal Star Emperor had seen everything about the woman called Yue Xuehua. Though some things about the current Moon Goddess, Yue Xuexia are blocked, the Star Emperor didn’t mind at all. After all, this woman who uses the name of the former Moon Empress was the one he wanted to see through and not that dangerous one who is closely protected by his nemesis, the Immortal Sun Emperor. With his soul falling into the river of stars, he had watched the life of Yue Xuehua after she had self-detonated in front of him that day. The scene is something he didn’t know about.

After capturing the Moon Empress, Yue Xuehua, the Immortal Star Emperor, he had locked her in a mansion within his territory and left the Fairy Queen to accompany her. Well he left another woman to take good care of the woman he loves. But what he didn’t expect is that this Fairy Queen, who he had known as someone who knows how to take care of him so well, would treat the Moon Empress like a shrew. He had placed an array that sealed the cultivation of the Moon Empress. She is free to move around the mansion which is not small yet she is unable to leave the area where the mansion is located. With her cultivation sealed, the Moon Empress, Yue Xuehua is no different from a mortal.

All this time he thought that with the Fairy Queen there to serve and accompany her, Yue Xuehua would not suffer at all. But what are these scenes? Why is the Fairy Queen grabbing the hair of the Moon Empress and kicking her in her stomach? She intentionally avoided the areas where bruises can be seen and beat her up at places he would never see unless he had undressed her.

"Slut~ why the hell didn’t you die!?"

"Xing is mine. He can only be mine!"

"How dare you seduce him!?"

"Die~! Die! Just fucking die already!?"

These are the words of the Fairy Queen while beating up the Moon Empress. With her cultivation sealed, Yue Xuehua was powerless but she was too proud to cry out or ask him for help. She was barely hanging on until the news of him successfully killing the Immortal Sun Emperor reached her ears the next day.

The Fairy Queen gave her a bowl of poison and said, "This is from Xing. He said that since the Sun Emperor is dead, you are no longer useful~"

"How about drinking this and dying!?"

"You are no longer useful. Or do you want us to kill your Yue family next?"

"You know that the Star Emperor is powerful enough to kill some of them."

"If you die now, I will ask Xing to spare them~"

The Star Emperor who was watching the scene of the past in the river of stars was mortified. Everything the river of time and space is showing right now was something he never knew. How come he never remembers any of this scene? Is this the past that even he didn’t know about!?

Xing Xieju mumbles, "Hua’er, don’t believe her! She is lying! I never sent you any poison! I never will!!!"

However, these are events in the past that had already happened, something he cannot change at all. Even if he does nothing will happen after all, the current Moon Goddess already exists and she is protected by the Heavenly Laws, something he cannot go against. He can only watch as Yue Xuehua glares at the Fairy Queen while being forced to drink that was given to her in his name. While Yue Xuehua was dying, the Fairy Queen was laughing like a madman. She was laughing so evilly that even he almost couldn’t recognize this bitch before him. The Immortal Star Emperor had only seen these eyes of madness from the Fairy Queen when she had used her own race to self destruction and escaped from him. The very same determination, mirth and craziness.

"Hahaha~ Yue Xuehua! You are still as stupid as before!"

"You took away my man and you thought I would let you go!"

"Just go die. After you die, I will ask the Star Emperor to bury the Yue Family with you. Wouldn’t that make you happy?"

Glaring at the laughing Fairy Queen with bloodshot eyes and murderous intent, Yue Xuehua glares at her as if she wanted to eat her alive. Black blood was strolling down her lips due to poison. Seeing this reaction, the fairy queen couldn’t help but gloat at her even more and grabbed her hair.

"Watch your eyes. Do you want me to dig them for you?~" The Fairy Queen said.

Before the fairy queen could react, using the last strand of strength of her body, Yue Xuehua jumped on her back and wrapped her legs and arms around her body while initiating self detonation.

With a hoarse voice, "If I am dying... I am going to drag you down to hell with me!" said Yue Xuehua as she bit the neck of the Fairy Queen like a savage.

For the very first time in the eyes of the Immortal Star Emperor, he watches the woman whom he thought was weak and innocent in his eyes to act like this at the last moment of her life, especially when her eyes were filled with hatred and murderous intent. Completely different from those beautiful, sorrowful eyes he remembers when they had first met.

Then he continued to watch him in that timeline, arrived on time and separated the two women. At that time, he thought that Yue Xuehua was going crazy again and chose to save the Fairy Queen first. Seeing that pair of cold and disappointed eyes, the Immortal Star Emperor trembles. The him in that timeline had trembled at the same time as him as if it had synchronized.

He read that voiceless lips say something, it was something he had never noticed at that time.

{You killed me, I owe you nothing.}

Then he can only watch as the Yue Xuehua in that timeline self detonated not even leaving a piece of her soul to leave behind as her self destruction had created a space rip and everything had been pulled into there. He didn’t know how to react at this moment, who would have thought that by watching the whole thing from a third party’s perspective he would learn everything he never did in the past. The Fairy Queen’s hatred, her abuse towards the Moon Empress and her schemes that made his relationship colder than he had anticipated. No wonder every time he comes to meet Yue Xuehua, he will be given a cold shoulder. At that time, he thought that he was being hated for locking her into that mansion.

Who would have thought!? It was because the Fairy Queen was torturing and using her name to pressure her! There is that poison, he never even knew had existed that time. No wonder Yue Xuehua didn’t hesitate to kill herself. Because she knew that she would not survive, she didn’t hesitate to use the last of her life to take down the Fairy Queen with her. Who would have thought that this last desperate action of hers was stopped by him? No wonder she hated him so much. Because he is blind and allowed people to hurt her.

These are things that had happened in the past, something he cannot change at all. So he can only watch the rest of Yue Xuehua’s life. From when her soul fragment fell out of a space rift that had sucked her remains. To a distant mortal star, where she met the other half of her soul, someone who was reincarnated in that world as a mortal and had gained connection to the cultivation world because of the Immortal Sun Emperor wounded soul.

How she tried to give up her existence for the other her and how that other self tried everything just to bring her back. Seeing this, the Immortal Star Emperor despite learning that Yue Xuexia and Yue Xuehua are two different people with the same origin, he chose not to look at the current moon goddess as an enemy. After all, Yue Xuehua sees her as her family and sister. He would never harm her family ever again.

Then he finally learned why Yue Xuehua was reborn and it was all thanks to the cloning technique Yue Xuexia had taught her. This allowed her to be reborn and gain her own body like Shen Taiyang’s existence.

"Same Origin, Different Lives," the Immortal Star Emperor mumbles as he comes back to reality after spending some time in the river of time and space.
