Chapter 273: Chapter 271: Secrets of the Three Realms, Sensational Revelations

Dongfang Wuya laughed bitterly out of rage, "Very well, it seems you remember now. Are you certain that I owe you? It was you who wanted to leverage the power of the Three Realms to deal with me, thinking that by doing so, you could take Shen Qinghe from my hands. You were the one who provoked me first, and so I did as you wished and destroyed the Three Realms—"

"But initially, Qinghe was my fiancée, you stole my love, taking Qinghe away!" Yan Changsheng, unable to contain his fury, interrupted Dongfang Wuya’s lengthy exposition.

The onlookers immediately pricked up their ears, feeling as if they had stumbled upon a juicy piece of dramatic gossip.

That Dongfang Wuya was an Ancient Deity was no secret, he had fallen before, and upon his resurrection, Dongfang Wuya’s Divine Body awoke.

But Yan Changsheng’s remarks were loaded with implications, could it mean that Yan Changsheng, Shen Qinghe, and Dongfang Wuya had a complicated emotional history from hundreds of thousands of years ago?

And that it was also related to the destruction of the Three Realms?

Many people were unaware that the Three Realms had once been remodeled, but Zuo An, as the leader of a sect, knew some secrets of it.

He had heard that the Three Realms had been destroyed hundreds of thousands of years ago, yet he did not know the specifics. When he heard this secret, he wondered if it was just a rumor, after all, how could the Three Realms be remodeled if they had been destroyed?

Yet here was one of the principals of that secret, standing right in front of him, and he, as the sect leader, was only now finding out?

"That’s absurd. Wasn’t it your own indecisiveness that gave me the opportunity? Right, that woman who once had you so distracted—wouldn’t happen to be the one called Nan Sheng, would she?" Dongfang Wuya countered and suddenly grasped the crux of the matter.

Five hundred thousand years ago, when he met Shen Qinghe, Yan Changsheng was infatuated with others and seemed to have neglected Shen Qinghe because of a woman.

As it happened, the more he saw of Shen Qinghe, the more he liked her, and he easily "abducted" her to Snow Bone City. Later, he breached her heart, making her fall for him, too.

Shen Qinghe’s feelings for him grew over time until they decided to get married, whereupon Yan Changsheng suddenly emerged, intending to take Shen Qinghe away.

How could he possibly let his Daoist companion, who was within his grasp, slip away?

Despite Yan Changsheng being the legitimate son of the Moon Emperor, there was no way he would give up the woman he liked to Yan Changsheng.

Afterward, Yan Changsheng even colluded with the Three Realms and seized her away in a moment of his inattention; when he pursued, he saw Shen Qinghe on Yan Changsheng’s bed.

It was not just that, Yan Changsheng had also set up a trap to kill him.

Later, in a fit of rage, he destroyed the Three Realms.

The world returned to chaos, and he thought that he and Shen Qinghe could live happily ever after. Who knew that she would sacrifice herself to rebuild the Three Realms with her own flesh, infuriating him so much that he wanted to exhume her corpse for a whipping.

Annoyingly, she died, leaving him alone...

Whenever he thought about it, he wanted to dig out Shen Qinghe’s heart to see if it was black, how she could abandon him for those unrelated people of the Three Realms.

This woman had returned to his side but didn’t remember their past, and he didn’t know whether to feel relieved or frustrated.

Yan Changsheng’s expression darkened, and he suddenly lost the strength to be angry.

The detestable Dongfang Wuya was right, hundreds of thousands of years ago he had missed Shen Qinghe because of Nan Sheng. Times had changed, and he made the same mistake again, which was not of his own volition; someone had set a trap for him early on.

Whom could he blame?

"Although I don’t remember what happened in the past, I am certain of one thing—I can no longer have any entanglements with Second Senior Brother," Shen Qinghe broke the oppressive silence.

Especially after hearing from Dongfang Wuya that tens of thousands of years ago, Yan Changsheng and Nan Sheng were already entangled with each other, the mere thought made her feel disgusted and nauseous.

Yan Changsheng rushed over to Shen Qinghe in a disarray to explain, "Qinghe, you must hear me out, all of this is my mother’s doing. Originally, I could have won your heart this time, but she forcibly altered the trajectory of our fates..."

"What are you talking about? I cannot understand, and I do not wish to understand." Shen Qinghe was not interested in what Yan Changsheng was saying; she only cared about the outcome.

Initially, nobody forced Yan Changsheng to become involved with Nan Sheng. It was Yan Changsheng himself who fell for her at first sight, passionately and desperately in love.

Who he loved was not within her right to interfere, but the fact that he hurt Shen Zhuo for Nan Sheng was something she could never get over.

"Let’s go, don’t waste words on someone unimportant." Dongfang Wuya was discontent with Shen Qinghe speaking to Yan Changsheng and decisively pulled her away to return to the Simple Residence Courtyard.

Now, he felt that it was rather good that Shen Qinghe didn’t remember the past; at the very least, Yan Changsheng, an old affinity, would forever live only in the past. The disdain that the current Shen Qinghe had for Yan Changsheng was clearly visible.

After chasing them to the Simple Residence Courtyard, Yan Changsheng could no longer approach Shen Qinghe.

He held his head in defeat, unable to understand why things had turned out this way.

After Dongfang Wuya obliterated the Three Realms, Yan Changsheng was the first to be reborn. At that time, Dongfang Wuya also awoke but had no recollection of Shen Qinghe whatsoever, his Divine Body not even awakened yet.

He knew that if he destroyed the Snow Bone Mother Grass and Snow Bone City, Dongfang Wuya would forever lose the chance to awaken his Divine Body.

He transformed into the face of the Moon Emperor and, under the name Shangxuan Yue, approached Dongfang Wuya.

Dongfang Wuya was totally unsuspecting of him, and in the end, without much effort, he took the Snow Bone Mother Grass and also destroyed Snow Bone City.

Afterward, he found out from the Star Lord that Shen Qinghe would be reborn in the Cultivator World, and so he descended from the Heaven Realm.

Who would have known that just then, an accident occurred, and he forgot his identity, forgot about Qinghe, until he was picked up by Shen Zhuo and brought back to the Sky Pole Sect.

Even at that moment, he still had the chance to continue his past relationship with Qinghe. However, fatefully, he encountered Nan Sheng again...

Just at that moment, a person stood in front of Yan Changsheng, it was Xiao Chen, who discreetly conversed with Yan Changsheng using a secret transmission, "As you have seen, the current Mr. Wuya is unrivaled by anyone. Since you are the legitimate son of the Moon Emperor, why not take this opportunity to seize the throne of the Heaven Emperor and unite the Three Realms against Dongfang Wuya?"

Dongfang Wuya had intended to confront Shen Qinghe about whether she was still unable to forget Yan Changsheng, but upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words, he suddenly realized that having good hearing wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

It seemed that the final outcome was still the same as it had been hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Yan Changsheng, unable to defeat him, now wanted to ally with the Three Realms against him. Only this time, Xiao Chen was also involved.

He had immediately recognized Xiao Chen’s true form; nonetheless, he did not understand why Xiao Chen was so eager to remove him.

"Why does Xiao Chen harbor such deep animosity towards me?" Dongfang Wuya asked Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, "How does Big Senior Brother bear any animosity towards you?"

"Seeing how guilty you look, there’s clearly a problem." Dongfang Wuya caught Shen Zhiyao as she tried to slip away, "Shen Zhiyao, you answer my question."

Shen Zhiyao looked towards Meng Yun, seeking help. Meng Yun then said to Dongfang Wuya, "Release Zhiyao, and I will tell you the reason."
