The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

After the coffins of the queen and several concubines were sent to the imperial mausoleum for burial, Xie Yuzhen finally received news from Jun Yuexin outside the palace.

As usual, they were just casual conversations showing concern for each other. Jun Yuexin used code words to tell her that Wang Linghui and Lu Yinggui had both left Beijing safely. At this point, Xie Yuzhen's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down completely.

The palace was still depressing after the funeral. The emperor had gone crazy with killing in the previous dynasty, and he basically didn't set foot in the harem during this period. Even if he came in occasionally, he would go directly to Shouning Palace. He once ran in in the middle of the night and squatted in Xie Yuzhen's room crying, causing the people in Shouning Palace to suspect that there were too many deaths in the palace recently, and that the ground-bound male ghost from some unknown dynasty had been awakened.

Then the next day they saw the emperor coming out of his empress's room with red and swollen eyes...

It had been quite a while since Xie Yuzhen's outburst in the Lizheng Hall, and her reputation as a fierce tigress had quietly spread. At the same time, the reputation of the emperor being "henpecked" was secretly spreading among officials.

In the inner palace, Xie Yuzhen was a person that no one dared to mess with among the concubines. However, no one expected that she would not only go crazy at those who dared to provoke her, but she would even go crazy in the Government Hall and in front of the ministers... What was even more bizarre was that even when she was so crazy, the emperor did not find her offensive. Instead, he honored her even more. Not long after she was promoted to noble concubine, she was promoted to concubine.

Moreover, as the only two concubines left in the palace, Xie Yuzhen had already completely taken over the power of the Shanggong Bureau from Concubine Li and Concubine Chen, and the two of them did not make a fuss about fighting for power.

Concubine Li, because the death of her old friends in the palace was too much for her, she fell ill as soon as the queen's funeral was over;

The other Concubine Chen took a new string of Buddhist beads and went back to chant, only occasionally taking Concubine Liu out for a walk with the children - she was indeed capable, and since Xie Yuzhen officially took over the Shanggong Bureau, she found that all the things in the palace were really exhausting, so she brought Concubine Chen, who lived a leisurely life, back to help her, and then took advantage of the fact that the emperor had no time to check on the affairs of the inner palace, and quickly stuffed her own people everywhere, and planned to hold an assessment of female officials so that she could select enough people as soon as possible to support the operation of the Shanggong Bureau.

After a busy day of palace affairs, Xie Yuzhen wrote another letter to Jun Yuexin outside the palace. Enclosed in the letter was a list of properties and connections left by Concubine Deng, and asked Xia Zhi to deliver it out of the palace properly.

Until nightfall, the emperor showed no sign of entering the harem.

Xie Yuzhen didn't wait for him. After washing up, he held his daughter in his arms and went to sleep as usual.

But as soon as she fell asleep, she was back in the silent galaxy in her mind.

Amidst the stars, a book with a faint golden glow was floating. Xie Yuzhen was stunned for a second, then his eyes lit up: "Have I modified my magic?"

"Yes." A familiar voice suddenly came from beside me.

Xie Yuzhen raised his eyebrows and looked, only to see that the two balls of light, one big and one small, that were supposed to be in his mind had appeared in the galaxy at some point.

The one who just spoke was the Miraculous Medicine System.

But the tone was not quite like that of the Miracle Medicine System in the past.

Xie Wei was truly confused, only to hear the Wonderful Medicine System speak again: "I am communicating with you through it."

It turns out to be world consciousness.

The world consciousness said calmly: "Your soul has been cut by the cracks of time."

Hearing this, Xie Yuzhen subconsciously looked at herself. There were still several wounds emitting a faint black aura, and her whole body looked like a piece of corpse pieced together - she had been so busy during this period that she almost forgot about her injuries. Xie Yuzhen hurriedly asked the world consciousness what impact her injuries had and whether they could be cured.

The world consciousness did not hesitate: "Your soul is incomplete, and you can no longer practice the immortal method you have always dreamed of."

"Ah?" Xie Yuzhen was stunned for a moment, but he was not discouraged. "Can it be cured?"

"Yes," the world consciousness replied, "but it's difficult."

"What do I need to do?" Xie Yuzhen asked decisively.

The world consciousness also told her very efficiently: "Although you have a destiny, you are still just a mortal. Although I will soon be promoted, the change will not happen overnight, but it will take time. Your injuries can be cured, but not now. You need to wait until you fulfill this destiny and your soul returns to me before you can treat it."

"Then what difference does it make whether it can be cured or not?" Xie Yuzhen said with a frown. She knew that the souls in this world would not be reincarnated after death, but would be recycled by the world consciousness.

The world consciousness had no intention of hiding: "You are all part of me. My planned upgrade direction is the world of cultivation. After I upgrade, I will create the six reincarnations in imitation of other worlds, and then confer the Shinto gods who assist in the operation of the world's rules. But I am this world, and I am only a part of the world's consciousness. I need someone to help me do these things after the world is upgraded."

"Heaven's Way?" Xie Ruizhen immediately made the connection.

The world consciousness controlled the light ball of the miracle medicine system and nodded up and down: "Yes, but unfortunately, after repelling the large-scale invasion of the Lord God, I devoted all my energy to the matter of upgrading, and I no longer have the energy to condense a new Heavenly Dao. You have a destiny, are you willing to become the new Heavenly Dao of this world after completing your destiny?"

"Then the scars on your soul will heal."

"Why don't you let me become the Heavenly Dao now?" Xie Yuzhen asked, coveting the Heavenly Dao's position.

World consciousness: "This destiny of yours is very important to the whole world. You must complete it before you can withdraw."

"Okay." Xie Yuzhen retracted his burning gaze and answered helplessly.

"You can take the technique with you. Although you cannot practice it, it can strengthen your body. Please give it to your daughter. You know she will be the next one to inherit the destiny."

As the voice fell, the book instantly turned into a stream of light and flew into Xie Yuzhen's brow. Xie Yuzhen sensed it and found that although several systems were gone in his mind, there were still several pages with pictures and texts hanging there, emitting a mysterious glow.

Without taking the time to examine it carefully, Xie Yuzhen asked Him a question he had always wanted to ask before the world consciousness slipped away: "Is the Lord God who created the system to change history really from our future generations, and did this because he couldn't stand women in power?"

The ball of light shook, and the world consciousness replied, "No, they are not really from the future. They are just the Lord God's multiple speculations about the future of our world, finding countless possibilities, and then selecting a few that are different from or even completely contrary to the destiny I expect, and created these systems for it to invade."

"The 'history' they perceive is not our real history, but just a possibility."

"It is just one of the tools used by the Lord God to overturn the rules, break fate, and refine this world into its puppet."

"The battle between us and the Lord God is a battle to protect the world. Fortunately, we have won so far."
