Chapter 2053: Slaying His Wife to Prove the Dao, Chasing Her Husband for a Thousand Miles

Little Taotie watched as Qing Luan opened the paper crane, which transformed into a talisman paper covered in runes. Qing Luan placed the talisman paper on his forehead and instantly turned into—the War God!

The eyes are windows to the soul.

Even clad in armor and wearing a helmet, those eyes exposed to the world can betray one’s identity.

But due to the talisman paper transformed from the paper crane, every detail of Qing Luan’s eyes, even the pupils, was exactly the same as the War God’s.

It’s like copying and pasting while making a map.

Little Taotie was close enough to see clearly; they looked exactly the same!

If two identical War Gods appeared in front of her, she would have difficulty distinguishing the real one.

Qing Luan walked towards the outside of the Grand Palace, and all the immortals noticed him and respectfully greeted him.

"Greetings, War God."

"War God, you’ve come as well?"

"I knew you would come, on the Mysterious Lady’s birthday, the War God could never be absent."

"Indeed, the War God holds the Mysterious Lady in high regard, leaving behind battles to come and celebrate her birthday."

"I’ve heard that the War God and the Mysterious Lady grew up together."

"Not exactly, seems like in one lifetime they were childhood sweethearts."

"You all got it wrong! To become a god, each person faces different trials, and the War God faced an emotional calamity!"

"There’s a story! Quickly tell us!"

"Keep your voices down, don’t shout their names!"

"The War God is male, the Mysterious Lady is female. I’ll start now! The male descended to the mortal realm to face trials, the female followed to help him overcome them, transforming into someone who harmed him, making him disillusioned with worldly matters, and achieve enlightenment through the act of killing his wife."

"Did I hear correctly? War God? Achieve enlightenment through killing his wife? Does this mean the Mysterious Lady was that wife?"

"Shh! I told you not to shout their names or titles!"

"My mistake, my mistake! What I meant was, the one the male killed for enlightenment was that female?"

"It should be, Master of Fate said so, as the God of Fate himself personally wrote the script for the War God’s trial, so everything was under the God of Fate’s control."

"The God of Fate is also here today, shall we go ask him?"

"Will he really speak?"

"Rest assured, the God of Fate loves talking about his scripts, especially those scripts that help people ascend to godhood, they are his boastful capital!"

"God of Fate, come quickly, over here!"

"Why summon me, there’s fine wine over there, but here you have just some fruits, it’s really uninteresting."

"Want a drink? It’s not difficult, I’ll brew you a cup of fresh fruit wine right away."

"So generous? Must be up to something! What do you want to ask me?"

"Nothing escapes the God of Fate, we want to hear about the script you wrote for the War God’s trial and ascension, heard it’s about achieving enlightenment through killing his wife to overcome an emotional calamity?"

The God of Fate almost choked on a mouthful of fruit wine, coughing, "Are you fools? You believe such rumors? The War God is like an Iron Tree for millennia, how could it blossom! No wait, seems like it recently blossomed, taking a fancy to his mount."

"That’s just a pet beast, the War God should only be interested as a passing whim, a plaything, right? We want to know, when the War God descended to face trials, did the Mysterious Lady follow him? Was she given a role in your script?"

"How could it be possible? At that time I wasn’t a Divine Monarch, just a small immortal in the Hall of Fate, the War God wasn’t yet a god, but the Mysterious Lady was already a Supreme God. I would never have the authority to add the Mysterious Lady to it, much less invite her to help the War God face trials."

"So, the rumors are all false? We’ve listened to emptiness? About achieving enlightenment through killing his wife, about the Mysterious Lady chasing her husband for thousands of miles, all deceit?"
