Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

No one could understand the Dragon Princess’s feelings at this moment. She had clearly decided to treat Ye Xuan as her enemy, no matter what had happened in the past. 

However, seeing Ye Xuan lose focus and commit a grave mistake for her, her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Ye Xuan should not bear such a heavy responsibility; the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar was not his fault. 

If blame had to be assigned, wasn’t it the black dragon who kidnapped her and injured the immortal generals that caused all this? The real culprit was the black dragon, not Ye Xuan–!!!

For the Dragon Princess, Ye Xuan should be an enemy right now, but he was also someone she had to defend. She remembered the momentary distraction and shock he experienced when he heard she was in danger. 

Unlike the Dragon Princess’s feelings, everyone else present was astonished. The events of ancient times were legendary even to cultivators. The collapse of the Heavenly Pillar and the repair by the Empress Nuwa were things they never expected to witness with their own eyes through Ye Xuan’s past.

Everyone was curious about the scenes of the gods working together to repair the heavens. They were no longer concerned with Ye Xuan’s actions; his past was not as captivating as the grand and lengthy repair of the heavens. 

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan was the main character of the scenes, so the scenes of repairing the heavens were only visible when he appeared.

————

To repair the Heavenly Pillar, the gods worked tirelessly for a long time. Empress Nuwa gathered the gods to help, refining the celestial stones to repair the sky. 

The Heavenly Emperor cut off the legs of the giant sea turtle to support the tilted sky, and Zhugu forcibly locked the heavens and earth, consuming great energy and falling into a deep sleep. After everything stabilized, it was already hundreds of years later. 

During this time, the sky collapsed, chaotic energy descended, the earth cracked, and evil miasma rose. Many innate beings perished in this disaster, except for the postnatal human race created by Empress Nuwa, who were naturally resistant to the miasma and adapted to survive. 

The postnatal human race, weak as they were, became the true rulers of the earth through this disaster. However, regardless of what happened in the world, someone had to be punished for this great calamity. 

Gonggong and Zhurong were punished to reflect on their actions for ten thousand years, and the black dragon, the true culprit, was punished by having his dragon soul destroyed and being reincarnated as a mortal. 

Zhugu, being the mightiest dragon, was beyond anyone’s punishment. No one mentioned punishing Zhugu. But Ye Xuan, a mere immortal musician, was severely punished for losing focus during his task, causing the world to tilt and nearly collapse. 

“Ye Xuan, you were a immortal musician, meant to uphold my order, but you lost focus at a critical moment, causing this great calamity. I hereby strip you of your immortal status.”

“You will not enter the cycle of reincarnation but will suffer the pain of separation and loneliness for eternity. Your memory will remain, your suffering will persist, and in every lifetime, you will experience love unfulfilled and trust betrayed.”

“The ones you love most will always hate you, and those you trust will always betray you–!” 

————

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators finally came to their senses. They realized they were watching Ye Xuan’s past, not some ancient news. Everyone understood that Ye Xuan should indeed be punished, but his mistake was merely losing focus during a critical task, leading to its failure.  𝙍ΆΝŏᛒÈṨ

The subsequent events were not his fault–!! 

However, at this moment, Ye Xuan was severely punished by the Heavenly Emperor. Eternal life without reincarnation, suffering from love and hate. This punishment was too severe–!!!

“Ye Xuan… you…”

At this moment, Qingxue, Yu Ling’er, and Hu Qianzao finally understood. Ye Xuan was not some primordial spirit; he was not. He was not excluded from reincarnation because Yan Shen rejected him, but because of the Heavenly Emperor’s punishment. 

His memory persisted not because he could reincarnate, but because the Heavenly Emperor wanted him to feel endless pain. No wonder, in every life, Ye Xuan was hated by his loved ones, torn from them, and betrayed by those he trusted. 

In every lifetime, he first experienced the greatest joy, only to have it forcibly taken away, leaving him in endless pain.

So–!!! This was the truth behind Ye Xuan’s immortality. Throughout the endless years, how much pain had Ye Xuan endured? 

How many times had he been hated by his loved ones, and how many times had he been betrayed by those he trusted?!!

“Husband–!!!” Yu Ling’er couldn’t help but throw herself into Ye Xuan’s arms, her face full of tears. She said to Ye Xuan.

“Husband, rest assured, even if the whole world wrongs you, misunderstands you, and hates you, I will always stand by your side.”

Tears streamed down Qingxue’s face as she thought of the suffering Ye Xuan had endured. She looked up at the sky, where the Heavenly Emperor was said to reside. 

In her heart, a question arose. The so-called Emperor of the Gods, the Heavenly Emperor, turned out to be such a bully. It was Zhugu’s arrogance and the battle with the two gods that led to this catastrophic disaster. 

Why should Ye Xuan bear such a punishment?!! Was this so-called heavenly order just a joke?!!

Remembering what she had done to Ye Xuan in the past, Hu Qianzao also shed tears. Could it be that all of this stemmed from the Heavenly Emperor’s punishment? 

Why should Ye Xuan endure such a punishment? Was it just because a responsibility needed to be shouldered by someone? This heavenly order was utterly unfair–!! 

Whether it was the future or the present Dragon Princess, both showed a look of sympathy. Looking at Ye Xuan, they felt a sense of guilt. Regardless of what Ye Xuan did in the future, for now, it was because of them that Ye Xuan was punished undeservedly.

If blame must be assigned, didn’t the Dragon Princess also have a fault? If she hadn’t saved Ye Xuan, learned to play the flute, and attracted the black dragon’s attention, would the subsequent events have occurred?

Some things couldn’t be traced back to their origins. But if they couldn’t trace back, why pin the blame on someone who didn’t deserve it?

At this moment, even the cultivators began to doubt. Was this unfairness by the Heavenly Emperor what they had been cultivating all this time? 

In the end, was this so-called heavenly order just a way to maintain stability by bullying the weak and appeasing the strong?
