Listening to Jiang Wenji's words, Jiang Wen had never imagined that the Old Earth had such a history. The Ancestral Emperor Xiao of the Tai Cang, unable to bear the burden of the Mandate of Heaven, eventually transformed into the head of evil. If this is the case, then what is the Human Dao Mandate of Heaven? Could it be the source of all evil?
He thought to himself, looking at Jiang Wenji's indifferent expression. This woman had always been so calm. Apart from the initial panic when she first became a feudal lord, now only composure remained. Having experienced so much hardship, perhaps she was no longer the Jiang Wenji of those days. Standing before him now was a woman who could be called a Monarch.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wen felt a strange emotion in his heart. He looked at Jiang Wenji and asked, "Then why do you still want to accept this Mandate of Heaven?"
"Why accept the Mandate of Heaven?" Jiang Wenji smiled lightly upon hearing this. She looked at Jiang Wen and reached out to pick a fallen flower in the courtyard.
"In this world, if not me, then who?" Jiang Wenji said calmly, placing the fallen flower in her palm. "I promised someone that I would protect everything we created together. This is my promise. Just like he once said, a king's word is as heavy as nine tripods. Even if the mountains wither and the rocks crumble, I will not break my word."
Jiang Wen stared at her blankly for a moment, then turned his head away.
He looked down at the fallen flowers at his feet and asked slowly, "If you are also corrupted by this Mandate of Heaven, what will you do?"
"If that moment truly arrives, I will naturally dissolve my cultivation," Jiang Wenji said without hesitation.
Hearing this, Jiang Wen simply pursed his lips and remained silent.
At this moment, he finally understood the feelings of the Pure Yang Zhenren when he asked his question. It was a complex and elusive emotion.
"Are you worried about me? Tai Xu." Jiang Wenji glanced at Jiang Wen and suddenly asked with a light smile.
"Perhaps."
Jiang Wenji walked over and gently patted Jiang Wen's shoulder. Her eyes gleamed with a hint of brightness, and then she raised her pretty face: "Don't worry, even after another ten thousand years, this Mandate of Heaven will not be able to do anything to me."
Jiang Wen didn't reply, and the two sat in the hall, watching the flowers. The hall breeze gently blew, disturbing their cheeks.
At this moment, Jiang Wen thought about many things. Like Emperor Gan, like Jiang Wenji.
Only at this moment did he understand that Emperor Gan's madness and cannibalism were not just because of the desire for longevity, but perhaps also because of the Mandate of Heaven. It turned out that the reason why each Emperor of Great Gan had a short lifespan was also to prevent the Emperor from being corrupted by the Mandate of Heaven. It turned out that Jiang Wenji's death was not only because the inner demons arose and summoned the Rewarding and Punishing Heavenly Emperor. Perhaps the reason was also inseparable from this Mandate of Heaven.
"Mandate of Heaven, why is it like this?" Jiang Wen asked.
"I don't know either. Perhaps it has been like this since ancient times. Why does the Mandate of Heaven exist in this world? All the emperors of the Tai Cang dynasty wanted to know," Jiang Wenji replied with a smile, then looked at Jiang Wen. "If you understand all of this one day, come and tell me."
"… Okay." Jiang Wen nodded, giving Jiang Wenji a promise.
When the flowers fell and bore fruit, Luo Ji was finally about to give birth.
Jiang Wen invited a famous female pharmacist from Tianyuan City to help Luo Ji.
The sounds in the courtyard never stopped, and finally, a maid reported the good news, saying that Luo Ji had given birth to a milky white egg.
Hearing this, Jiang Wen specially went with Jiang Wenji to visit Luo Ji. After all, it was rare for a person to lay an egg. He was very curious about what kind of egg the Holy Maiden of the Luo people would give birth to.
After seeing the egg, Jiang Wen was shocked by the differences between the myriad races. The egg was like a pearl, pure white and flawless, and looked beautiful.
Luo Ji also walked out of the room weakly, feeling happy when she saw the egg she had laid.
"It's a Holy Pearl," Luo Ji said softly.
"Holy Pearl?" Jiang Wen asked curiously.
"Yes, a Holy Pearl." Luo Ji stroked the egg and replied gently. "She will inherit the position of Holy Maiden of the Luo people in the future and become the new Holy Maiden of the Luo people. The Holy Pearl refers to the Holy Maiden of the Luo people, who is destined from birth."
"I see, I really don't understand why you Luo people are oviparous," Jiang Wen shook his head helplessly.
"Because the ancestors of the Luo people were once fish in the water. Later, for some unknown reason, they walked on the ground and transformed into the Luo people." Luo Ji told Jiang Wen the story of the Luo people, which was an ancient myth.
"What are you going to name her?" Jiang Wen asked curiously.
"Name?" Luo Ji stopped stroking the Holy Pearl, looked at Jiang Wen, and thought for a long time before answering. "I want to call her Yuan."
"Yuan?"
"Yes, it is because of the connection with my benefactor that this child was born."
Luo Ji smiled, like the spring snow.
Hearing this name, Jiang Wen was momentarily dazed. Many scenes appeared before his eyes, about the Yu Yun race, about the Sumeru Realm, about the Pure Yang Zhenren, about the Pure Yang Cave. Heaven and earth were like entangled threads, and Yin and Yang ultimately returned to one. Time turned into fragments and merged into his consciousness, and all kinds of karma were connected.
"I see." Jiang Wen came back to his senses, and when he looked at the Holy Pearl again, he understood a lot of things.
It turned out that the girl Yuan who was born from this Holy Pearl was the ancestor of the Pure Yang Zhenren. Or rather, the current Luo Ji was the ancestor of the Pure Yang Zhenren. His encounter with the Pure Yang Zhenren was not an accident, but a connection created by the Pure Yang Zhenren to repay his gratitude.
It was not an accident that he came out of the secret realm of the Yu Yun race and then ran to the Sumeru Realm. It was the Pure Yang Zhenren's actions. After the Pure Yang Zhenren entered the Holy realm, he saw the karma between him and Jiang Wen. That was why he gave everything in the Pure Yang Cave to Jiang Wen.
"Yuan, wonderful." Jiang Wen sighed.
Luo Ji didn't understand, she could only tilt her head and glance at Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen smiled at her, as if settling a past debt. All things in the world are predestined. Perhaps from the moment he saved Luo Ji, his encounter with the Pure Yang Zhenren was destined.
"Since she is called Yuan, why not give her a surname? How about taking the Luo character and calling her Luo Yuan?"
"Luo Yuan? That's a good name." Luo Ji nodded with satisfaction.
That night, Jiang Wen specially prepared a grand banquet. He invited Xue and some acquaintances from Tianyuan City, and they had a very happy time drinking.
Cultivators don't get drunk unless they want to.
That night, Jiang Wen felt that he was drunk.
When he woke up the next day, he saw Jiang Wenji standing in the courtyard, as flawless as a white lotus.
She quietly looked at everything in the courtyard, and then sighed softly: "I should go."
"Are you going back?" Jiang Wen asked.
"Yes, she can't withstand the Mandate of Heaven. Now that the disloyal elements in Tianyuan City have been removed, I can't continue to delay. These days with you have been quite pleasant."
As Jiang Wenji spoke, she turned to face Jiang Wen with a smile. That smile was not particularly breathtaking, just a faint smile, but it blew into his heart.
