Wenren Sheng stood in midair, looking down at an ecological zone in the Ninth District.
This was an experimental site he had applied for from the Patrol Division. Within it, a story set against a mythological backdrop was evolving at high speed.
The New Legend of the White Snake.
A love story for the ages.
Of course, everyone knew that, upon closer examination, the love within it was not particularly sincere.
At first, White Maiden had wanted to become an immortal. Before doing so, she needed to settle her mortal ties.
Guanyin Bodhisattva had said that mortal ties could be forgotten, but debts of gratitude could not.
She had to repay that debt before she could become an immortal.
Yet while repaying that kindness, White Maiden fell in love with Xu Xian and turned gratitude into a pledge of herself... If Xu Xian had been uglier, she would probably have just given him some silver and made him wealthy. That would have been much simpler.
So love still depended on looks first and foremost.
And Xu Xian, being an ordinary man, could not bear a relationship after the truth had been exposed.
That could not be blamed on him. Few people could still find the courage to persist after seeing the truth.
It was only later, when circumstances changed, that he shirked his responsibility as a father and never raised his son for even a single day. That was his fatal shortcoming.
Because that was something other people could do.
Wenren Sheng wondered whether the things contained within this mythological tale could draw certain beings from the Origin Realm here, allowing them to be eliminated.
As Wenren Sheng pondered this, Xie Dong began to act.
He began pulling strings, following the Secret Order to drive the characters of the story
