The Formation Goddess Strikes Back Against the Divine Realm (Reborn Twice)

[Sharp, eccentric formation cultivator with a white-lotus facade and a dark heart x pure-hearted, demon-corrupted senior brother who says one thing but means another]

Sheng Mingyuan died.

Her master pierced her heart. Her fellow disciples used the formation she had taught them to drain her blood and refine it into pills. Even her soul was torn apart by her close friend with a Soul-Eating Banner, to build a ladder to godhood.

All because she refused to obey the order to kill Shang Huaijin, who had fallen to the demonic path and nearly razed Jingyun Sect to the ground.

But Sheng Mingyuan never knew that as soon as news of her death spread, Shang Huaijin sacrificed himself to fight his way back to Jingyun Sect. This time, he slaughtered everyone there, from the oldest to the youngest, then took his own life beside the ladder to godhood.

Enemies? Perhaps she had mistaken who her true enemy was all along.

In this life, Sheng Mingyuan returns to the time before she was captured and taken to Wangshen Sect. She will tear away the hypocrites' mask of virtue and uncover the conspiracy behind them. More importantly, Shang Huaijin must not fall to the demonic path. She has to save him.

Sheng Mingyuan excitedly takes the broken bowl from the hands of the little disciple who killed her in her previous life. That's right, just like this. Hurry up and teleport me! Sheng Mingyuan remembers clearly that in her previous life, an accidental teleport had sent her straight onto Shang Huaijin's desk.

She had cleared every painting tool off Shang Huaijin's desk in one fell swoop, and he had grabbed her by the collar and tossed her out in disgust. When they met again at Jingyun Sect, that incident left them at odds.

"It's fine. As long as I don't knock over his paints this time, we can still become friends and stop him from falling to the demonic path!"

When Sheng Mingyuan opens her eyes again, she thinks, "Why is it dark? And why is the surface under me so soft? Wait, whose bed am I in?!"

She throws off the covers. Before her are a medicine chest and Shang Huaijin, drenched in sweat after finishing his training. He had been sitting beside the empty desk, waiting for someone.

Now he is staring at her coldly.

Sheng Mingyuan: "Don't do anything rash! Hear me out! How about we start by becoming friends? Hey!"

In the end, he still throws her out...

--

Everyone at Wangshen Sect says Shang Huaijin has a clingy shadow who has been stuck to him ever since they first met at Dengshen Peak. Yet this cold and unfeeling man has never truly pushed her away.

Only Sheng Mingyuan knows she isn't pestering him. She's here to save his life.

On the day they take the oath with the Gu, the two meet again in the main hall at Dengshen Peak. The Gu marks over their hearts faintly resonate, but they both tacitly dismiss it as their imagination.

Sheng Mingyuan: "You're someone I know! From now on, stick with me. Big Sis will protect you!"

Shang Huaijin coldly looks away from the hand trying to hook around his shoulder. "Has the drug still not worn off?"

Then, on the day of the battle between immortals and demons, the moment Sheng Mingyuan's long whip coils around Shang Huaijin's neck, he says, "Sheng Mingyuan, kill me first this time. Use my blood to refine a pill. Once you become a god, you'll be free."

The whip tightens abruptly, and memories from three lifetimes shatter in a roar. It turns out their bond goes beyond the previous life. The truth she never knew in her past life, even in death, was this.

"Who wants your life?!" she screams through reddened eyes, tears falling onto his bloodstained clothes. "The ones who deserve to die aren't you. It's them!"

Shang Huaijin trembles all over. His pent-up emotions surge forth, his eyes filled with madness and elation. He grabs the whip and pulls her closer until their foreheads touch. "All right."

This time, the two of them stand side by side on the steps to godhood.

Also known as Fallen God.
