Chapter 49: The Day of God's Daughter

  The beauty flew snow all over her face, looking very despondent. She took hold of Fei Xue's hand and said: "Because I'm so lonely, no one talks to me, I don't know what parental love is like?" Looking at Fei Xue, she continued: "So I sealed myself away, until in the 21st century - I reincarnated as a human, I just wanted to know what parental love was like." Her words were filled with sorrow, making it hard for anyone to be angry with her. But her words left Fei Xue perplexed.

  "Your meaning is?" This sentence isn't saying that Fei Xue and now's Fei Xue are the same person, are they?

  The beauty, Fei Xue, stood face to face with Flying Snow, their postures mirroring each other as if they were looking into a mirror. "You are me," Flying Snow said seriously: "To be precise, you originally were me. The me you see now is the illusion I cast on myself thousands of years ago, just so that I could explain everything to you today and make you remember your true self."

  "What are you talking about, my beauty?" said Fei Xue, "You're saying I'm a hallucination? I don't understand." "I am now an illusion," said Mei Ren Fei Xue, "I appeared today just to take you to see the you from ten thousand years ago." After finishing speaking, Mei Ren Fei Xue turned around and pointed her slender finger at the air behind her. Slowly, a shadowy image emerged in the air, about the size of a movie screen. "Come," she said, "it will let you see the you from ten thousand years ago. Let you see your true self." Hand in hand, two identical hands held each other as they stood quietly in front of the screen.

  The originally black screen began to display images when they turned around and looked at it:

  The scene begins with a pervasive red hue, an eerie and enchanting red that sends shivers down one's spine. Gradually, a man comes into view, his entire being a deep crimson - his hair, clothes, skin tone, and even his eyes are all red. Despite his stunning appearance, he exudes a sense of sorrow. However, what's peculiar is that this beautiful man is cradling an infant in his arms. As the child stirs, the man hastily looks down, as if holding onto something incredibly precious. The sorrow that once filled his gaze gives way to unbridled tenderness. His other hand grasps a fiery red iron staff, accompanied by a qilin spewing flames beside him.

  "Fire God, this is your own fault," originally there were people beside him, and not just one. The screen slowly enlarged, and Fei Xue saw that the original beautiful man was surrounded by many people wearing white clothes, men and women, each looking like they came to take his life. "No wonder the Queen of the West would abandon you," said a thin old man with a full beard, wearing white clothes, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was struck by a fiery red light, "Ah" and immediately turned into ashes.

  "Huo Shen——" The man's actions were like provocation, and everyone present was annoyed. The people around him were furious, as if they were about to rush over and tear him apart.

  "Fire God, let go." Two people walked out of the crowd, one wearing a light green robe and the other in deep blue. The old man with a long beard in the deep blue robe said: "Fire God, Xi Wangmu didn't leave you because she wanted to give you another chance, why don't you understand that it's time to let go?" The speaker was Longwang, one of the four great heavenly gods. Beside him was Shuigong, who also spoke up after Longwang finished: "You're not thinking about yourself, but you should think about your child with Xi Wangmu."

  After listening to their words, the man called Huǒ Shén (Fire God) lowered his head and looked at the baby in his arms, with a face full of unspeakable tenderness. "Daughter, you are the child of Huǒ Shén, destined to be a legendary figure, but you will also be destined to be lonely and helpless for a lifetime." He paused and continued, "I love your mother, no matter how she abandoned me, even if I don't get her love, I still love her. Your father loves you too." As he spoke, the Fire God actually shed tears. "No matter what time it is, Father will always love you and never abandon you. So in the future, you must not hate your father, nor your mother. She has suffered greatly to give birth to you, don't hate her." When he finished speaking, a white pearl flew out of his body, only to see the pearl circling around the child: "This is what your mother left for you, she loves you."

  The Fire God finished speaking, and a burst of bird calls came from above the crowd. As people looked up, they saw a fiery red bird circling and chirping above, as if it wanted to say something.
