He raised her for a hundred thousand years, turning her from a beggar into the supreme Empress.
But on their wedding day, she threw a divorce letter at him in front of all the races.
“Lu Chen, immortals and mortals are worlds apart. A mortal like you will only hold me back from attaining eternal enlightenment.”
“Take this Longevity Pill and get out.”
Lu Chen looked at the handout at his feet and laughed until tears came to his eyes.
At that moment, he severed their karma and reclaimed everything he had given her.
He watched Lin Qingxue grow old and ugly in an instant, her cultivation gone, then turned and walked away.
Later, he drove a prison cart across the heavens. Everyone who had betrayed him was harnessed to it.
Lin Qingxue knelt among the ruins, crying her heart out. “Husband, I was wrong. Please, turn back...”
Lu Chen looked down at her indifferently. “Turn back? Look at the emperors pulling this cart. Which one of them regrets it less than you do?”
(Every character is a villain, and every one of them gets their comeuppance. No forgiveness!)
