The Divine Register records that two envoys once served beneath the Divine King: Jiayin and Jiaye. One held the power of life, the other the power of death; one spread virtue, the other punished evil.
Born as opposites, they were as irreconcilable as fire and water.
A thousand years ago, Jiayin sneered at Jiaye. "You see only the evil in the myriad ways of the world and its countless people, and do not know their true goodness and beauty."
Jiaye only smiled without a word, shook his head, and walked away.
The world turned and the ages changed. The Six Realms descended into chaos, the traces of the gods vanished, the immortals rose above and ruled humans and ghosts, the demonic path ran rampant, and the demon tribe teetered on the brink.
Bai Jiuli had lived in the Jade Lake of the Immortal Palace for as long as she could remember. Later, she fell into the mortal world for love and, through a twist of fate, became a powerful imperial preceptor. Her beloved was so close she could almost reach him, yet the clouds shifted and time passed in the blink of an eye.
When Bai Jiuli thought she had touched the truth, even more doubts arose.
Feng Qingnuo was no more than a village doctor, but an imperial decree that fell from the sky threw her life off course.
The imperial palace was as deep as a cold pool, full of intrigue and hidden currents. Schemes, both open and covert, came one after another. Fortunately, the imperial preceptor was always there to protect her; otherwise, she would have sunk into the mire long ago. But why did she keep feeling that something was wrong with the preceptor?
Layer by layer, the fog lifted, and the truth caught everyone off guard.
Their meeting in youth came about because you were simply too dazzling. Bai Jiuli was entangled with Qingyi for a lifetime, only to realize at the end that what the Immortal had given her back then was not candy, but a deadly poison...
And so, when all their grudges had vanished and every attachment had returned to the earth, the gods came back a thousand years later. Beneath the Ninth Heaven, Bai Jiuli stood before the Divine King, her battle robes stained with blood and her sword broken. She cried out hoarsely, "Where did I go wrong?"
The Divine King replied, "Your mistake... was going too far!"
"Hahaha, too far?" Bai Jiuli cast aside her sword and laughed, tears in her eyes, her voice shrill and pained, as if she had gone mad. "The Great Dao has reached its end, and the seas have run dry. My king, after serving you for so many years, I have finally grown weary..."
