The Divine Bow Recognized Its Master

"Chang'e, we have finally met again," said the remnant soul of the Great God Hou Yi, ignoring the formalities of the Four Emperors and other powerful figures. His eyes, filled with complex emotions—love, heartache, and even hatred—were fixed on the Chang'e.

"Why are you still haunting me? Didn't you die long ago?" However, upon seeing her husband again after millions of years, Chang'e showed no joy whatsoever. Instead, she looked as if she had seen a ghost, retreating frantically with fear and panic in her eyes.

"As expected..." Everyone present nodded in approval as they watched Chang'e's reaction; Zhuge Xiang's guess was indeed correct.

Indeed, something happened between the Chang'e and the Great God Hou Yi that no one else knew about. The Four Emperors looked at Zhuge Xiang with an unusual light in their eyes. Putting aside his strength for the time being, his wisdom alone made them eager to hunt him down.

"I never expected you to be so heartless and ruthless," Great God Hou Yi said, his face darkening as he saw Chang'e looking at him like a monstrous beast. His tone was filled with hostility, and his face showed deep hatred and heartache.

"How could I be heartless? Is it wrong for a woman to desire eternal beauty? Is it wrong for a person to desire eternal life? Since you, as a man, cannot satisfy me, then naturally I will pursue it myself!" Hearing Great God Hou Yi's words, Chang'e erupted, as if filled with countless humiliations. "Your pursuit is not wrong. However, your Changsheng, your eternal youth, is built upon the foundation of my life..." Hou Yi's expression was also cold as he stared at Chang'e. His words caused everyone present to change their expressions. Chang'e's youth and life had actually cost Great God Hou Yi his life? No wonder the couple had become enemies.

"Back then, ten suns scorched the earth, threatening all living beings. I vowed to save them from this calamity. But my divine bow, to shoot down the suns, required my own life. Heavenly Dao, moved by my sacrifice, bestowed upon me an elixir to restore me in my final moments. Fearing it might be lost in the battle, I entrusted it to you for safekeeping. But what about you?" A hiss...

Great God Hou Yi, spoke words filled with grief and indignation that caused the wind and clouds to change color. The howling wind seemed to refrain from roaring in his presence. Everyone present, from the Four Emperors to several celestial beings, stared at the fairy Chang'e in utter shock. Her beauty, which was beyond compare and had captivated everyone, now appeared as terrifying as a ghost.

The world only knows that the fairy Chang'e stole the elixir of immortality, ascended to heaven, and enjoyed eternal youth and beauty. But no one expected that the elixir was actually used by the Great God Hou Yi to save his life. Even more unexpectedly, not only did she steal Great God Hou Yi's life-saving elixir, but she also personally shot and killed her own husband to silence him. Such a vicious heart is truly the most shocking thing since the beginning of time.

This matter is indeed unbelievable. If it weren't for the remnant soul of the Great God Hou Yi saying it himself, I believe that no one in the Three Realms and Six Paths would believe such an absurd thing, let alone imagine that the beautiful fairy Chang'e, who could fascinate everyone, was actually the most vicious and venomous woman in history.

The Great God Hou Yi, who, since the creation of the world by Great God Pangu, had bestowed the greatest blessings upon countless beings in the Three Realms and Six Paths, ultimately died at the hands of his own wife, Chang'e. This sense of injustice made everyone present feel sorry for Great God Hou Yi. Looking at Chang'e, her breathtaking beauty now seemed utterly detestable in their eyes.

"So that's how it is..." At this moment, Zhuge Xiang suddenly realized that although the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow's equipment Skill were powerful, each strike only permanently consumed 1% of his own HP.

Zhuge Xiang was also puzzled. Back then Great God Hou Yi shot down nine suns, which should have only consumed 9% of his HP, not enough to be fatal. Why did he perish? But he never expected that the Truth would be like this.

Although Great God Hou Yi was incredibly powerful, he had lost 9% of his HP, leaving him severely injured and almost completely unable to fight. Chang'e, while not particularly strong, possessed the formidable Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, which had no level requirements. Therefore, it was not impossible for her to kill the dying Great God Hou Yi.

"You wicked woman, how dare you treat the Great God Hou Yi like this! Everyone in the Three Realms and Six Paths has the right to kill you! I will kill you now to appease the spirit of the great god!" The Jade Emperor shouted angrily, his face filled with indignation. He showed no mercy as he attacked.

With a powerful expert at the Great Sage level making a move, how could the Chang'e possibly withstand it? She didn't even have time to scream before she was instantly reduced to ashes.

"He was quick," he thought, secretly annoyed as he watched the Jade Emperor Great Sage kill Chang'e and Ziwei the Great Sage.

The Jade Emperor Great Sage's actions were righteous and praised by all in the Three Realms and Six Paths. By eliminating the wicked Chang'e, he vented the hatred in the hearts of Three Realms and Six Paths. Not only did he gain fame, but he also won the favor of the Great God Hou Yi. Perhaps, the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow would truly belong to him?

Rumble...

As the Jade Emperor Great Sage annihilated Chang'e, a series of booming sounds suddenly echoed across the Immortal Realm. Then, a huge, multicolored light appeared in the Void beyond the Nine Heavens.

Part of it entered the body of the Jade Emperor Great Sage, while the other part entered the body of Zhuge Xiang and disappeared, much to the envy of the Ziwei Great Sage and the others.

Merit is not unique to the Cultivation World; it exists in all Three Realms and Six Paths. Just now, the Jade Emperor Great Sage killed the fairy Chang'e, which was clearly Heavenly Dao that the Heavenly Dao was also moved by the humiliation suffered by the Great God Hou Yi. Therefore, it bestowed Merit upon the Jade Emperor Great Sage as a reward for his righteous act. Zhuge Xiang did even more in this matter, so naturally, he also received a share of the heavenly Merit.

Having killed Chang'e, the Jade Emperor Great Sage was secretly delighted to have gained immense Merit. Others might only have a vague understanding of the effects of Merit, but the Jade Emperor Great Sage was very clear about it.

The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. Great God Hou Yi's hatred for Chang'e's betrayal was self-evident. His lingering soul remained within the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, refusing to dissipate, which shows the extent of his hatred for Chang'e.

But at this moment, watching Chang'e perish and vanish before his eyes, Great God Hou Yi, felt no joy at having avenged his great enemy; instead, he felt an emptiness in his heart.

"Alas, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so captivated by your beauty that I didn't even understand your true nature," Great God Hou Yi's remnant soul murmured, looking at the spot where Chang'e had vanished. The dead are gone; there's no point in dwelling on hatred from millions of years ago.

"This divine bow is the temporary abode of my remnant soul. Whoever can help me fulfill my wish will become my master. I hope you will treat this bow well in the future," Great God Hou Yi's remnant soul said to Zhuge Xiang after a moment of reminiscence, looking at the place where the Chang'e had disappeared.

As soon as he finished speaking, the remnant soul of the Great God Hou Yi returned to the divine bow. The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, which was floating in mid-air, also fell into Zhuge Xiang's hands. A feeling of perfect harmony and blood connection welled up in his heart. Zhuge Xiang looked down and saw that the Hou Yi Divine Bow had already recognized him as its master.

The Jade Emperor Great Sage, who was initially overjoyed at receiving a great deal of Merit, froze when he saw the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow recognize Zhuge Xiang as its master. Looking at Zhuge Xiang, his eyes flickered. Although the Merit was good, the treasure of the Great God Hou Yi was even more precious.

The power of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow is self-evident. More importantly, it represents the will of the Great God Hou Yi. Considering Great God Hou Yi's blessings upon the Three Realms and Six Paths, possessing the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow is equivalent to being Great God Hou Yi's representative, making travel through the Three Realms and Six Paths much easier. Therefore, the Jade Emperor Great Sage was naturally determined to obtain the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.

The expressions of the three Great Sages, Ziwei, Changsheng, and Qinghua, also changed. The Four Emperors were vying for Hou Yi 'Hou Yi Divine Bow, but none of them expected that it would end up in the hands of a little guy who hadn't even reached the Immortal-Demon level.

However, while Great God Hou Yi chose Zhuge Xiang, the Ziwei Great Sage and his companions secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although they failed to obtain the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, it was perhaps the best outcome for them compared to the bow falling into the hands of the Jade Emperor Great Sage.

Looking at Zhuge Xiang, the Jade Emperor Great Sage's eyes flickered. He naturally wanted to seize him a thousand times over, but Great God Hou Yi had personally chosen Zhuge Xiang, and Great God Hou Yi's remnant soul resided in the divine bow. The Jade Emperor Great Sage really didn't dare to make a move.

Although Great God Hou Yi was merely a remnant soul, the Jade Emperor Great Sage was confident he could seize him. However, Ziwei and the other two would definitely obstruct him. Moreover, if he intervened, it would be a violation of Great God Hou Yi's will, a far more serious crime. If things escalated, he might face condemnation from all the powerful beings of the Three Realms and Six Paths.
