After I Died, I Became the Evil Buddha's Dark Moonlight

[Coming next: Not a Substitute, but the Rebirth of the Cultivation World's White Moonlight. The blurb is below. Please take a look!]

Before Bu Yan ascended, her final mission was to enter a book and kill the Evil Buddha before his birth.

But she got the timing wrong and arrived seven years too early.

At that time, the future Evil Buddha was still a Holy Buddha.

She leaned over the edge of an immortal mountain and saw the youth on the sacred altar, revered by thousands. His stunning, exquisite features and white robes fluttering in the wind made him seem utterly unworldly.

Bright and noble, handsome and beyond compare.

Bu Yan: ...This is really hard to do.

But the will of Heaven was not to be defied. Once he fell into evil, she would still have to kill him with her own hands.

*

To eliminate the Evil Buddha as soon as possible, Bu Yan had no choice but to cause trouble in every way she could, trying to make him turn evil early.

When bandits staged a robbery, she secretly sabotaged things so Jian Zhou would be captured.

But the bandit chief was a sucker for handsome faces. One look at Jian Zhou, and he abandoned evil for good, surrendering to the authorities on the spot.

When Jian Zhou was tricked into wandering into a brothel, she summoned the entire court, hoping to ruin his reputation.

But the most famous courtesan turned out to be the kidnapped daughter of a prince. The people who rushed over witnessed the Holy Buddha rescuing an innocent woman.

She even went to great lengths to expose his beloved junior disciple as a spy sent by the emperor to watch him.

All that did was resolve the two men's misunderstandings. The junior disciple then became a lovesick puppy, gazing at Jian Zhou every day with sparkling eyes.

Bu Yan was utterly despairing. At her wit's end, she decided to sneak into Jian Zhou's bedroom at night and poison him, ruining his path to immortality.

But he happened to be struggling to advance. The poison worked against the poison, helping him break through his bottleneck instead.

“Yanyan, you've saved me from danger time and again... No one in this world has ever treated me as well as you do. I, Jian Zhou, swear I will never let you down!”

The youth clasped her little hand tightly. Cold sweat dampened his black hair, and his youthful voice rang out with conviction.

Meeting his brilliant, starry eyes, Bu Yan felt her heart go strangely still. Suddenly, she no longer wanted to see him fall into evil.

*

On the day all the sects surrounded Jian Zhou, Bu Yan sacrificed herself to the Dao, asking only that his path to immortality remain smooth and righteous.

When she opened her eyes again, a thousand years had passed. The Evil Buddha had plunged the world into chaos, living beings were suffering, and the immortals of the heavens were wailing.

She heard that, during the great battle a thousand years ago, someone had seen the Evil Buddha collapse to his knees and plead desperately, bowing so low that blood streamed from his forehead.

They said the girl he loved had died the day before he was to ask for her hand in marriage.

And in all these years, he had searched the six realms and eighty-two sects, but had found no one who could bring her back.

[Laid-back, blunt Goddess reborn x obsessive, devoted fallen immortal and demon lord]

“That day, the entire cultivation world celebrated the same happy news.

The corrupted Goddess of the Ninth Heaven had finally died. The sects joined forces to drive her from the God-Slaying Platform, destroying her soul and leaving no trace of her body.”

So said the storyteller, sighing in a little teahouse beneath Mount Taixu.

He tapped his folding fan against his palm, carefully sizing up the pale, frail young woman before him, and marveled:

“Come to think of it, you really do look like that Goddess. You could be her twin.”

The girl smiled vaguely, her eyes empty. “Not at all. You must be mistaken.”

“I’m just a dead person lucky enough to get a new body. How could I compare myself to a goddess?”

.

After the Goddess was corrupted and killed, factions across the realms fought and schemed, all hoping to take her place as the former guardian of the Heavenly Dao.

Mei Qianning only understood after she died that she had made two mistakes.

First, she thought her boundless powers meant she could trust people without question.

So the disciple she took in plotted against her, the Demon Emperor she befriended poisoned her, and the Sword Venerable she considered a confidant joined forces with everyone to drive her from the God-Slaying Platform.

Second, she was an immortal who let herself fall in love with her eldest disciple, who cultivated the heartless Dao.

Only at the end did she learn that he had long been conspiring with others to eliminate her, the obstacle who wielded the Heavenly Seal.

The ancient goddess who protected the six realms met her end with her cultivation destroyed and divine seal shattered, while everyone cursed her and said she deserved it.

Reborn, she had no intention of making the same mistakes again.

But she wanted to take it easy, and everyone else had a problem with that.

In the old divine palace, the aloof emperor sitting above her looked down from afar and ordered her to raise her head.

The moment he saw her face, he froze in shock, tears streaming down his face. “Master...”

At the Demon Realm's grand ceremony, the bewitching Demon Emperor glanced languidly her way, and the wineglass in his hand tipped over.

He seized the hem of her skirt, almost frantic. “Qianning, I've suffered so much waiting for you!”

At the peak of Sword Venerable Mountain, the arrogant cultivator in blue gripped his sword so tightly that blood welled in the web of his hand.

“Another dream.” He looked at her, covered his eyes with his palm, and murmured bitterly.

Mei Qianning: ?

Mei Qianning: You all killed me, so why are you each more heartbroken than the last?

To find out what was going on, she decided to play along, agreeing to let someone impersonate her past self and provoke a conflict among several of the greatest powers.

.

The new lord of the Demon Realm was a fallen immortal, fickle and cruel.

Mei Qianning heard that he had once served under the Goddess and had personally searched the world for her bones after her death.

At first, she had no memory of him. Then the demon cultivator who found her introduced her to the Demon Lord, saying she was an indispensable part of his revenge plan.

She looked up at the elegant young man sitting quietly by the pool. He did not turn around, but his profile somehow seemed familiar.

Only then did she remember that there had once been an immortal attendant in the divine palace who had guarded her window night after night for countless millennia. He had been there from her birth until her fall, missing only once.

That one time was the day she fell from the God-Slaying Platform, and the day he fell from immortality and became a demon.
