The Divine One Among Mortals

The human realm possesses an elixir of immortality, of course created for some peerless genius of the future. As the saying goes, the wiser one becomes, the more one suffers; the stronger one becomes, the more one is humiliated; and deep love does not last. The Penglai Drunkenness of the human realm makes people forget love, preventing deep love from becoming short-lived. Thus, the Drunkenness of Immortality in the human realm is salvation for those whose wisdom would otherwise harm them. The longer a peerless genius lives, the greater the blessing to the common people and the fortune of the dawn. In other words, this is a gift for the intelligent. Everything He Qiu did, meanwhile, was what an ordinary person would do when striving, learning, and trying to get ahead despite lacking natural advantages. The longer He Qiu remained in the human realm, the greater his desires for the mortal world became, and the bolder he grew. He began eagerly challenging what he once believed impossible. Faced with all this, the clever Zeng Liaoliao chose to compromise once again. She would help He Qiu conquer a country and let him experience what it felt like to be a king. Having become an emperor, surely that would be the ultimate temptation in the mortal world, right? If He Qiu had even experienced being a monarch, what else in this world could make him remain attached to it? Zeng Liaoliao felt that schemes and power struggles could not be much harder to deal with than love or pathology.
