Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Editor: Henyee Translations

Sitting on a bench in the attic of the garden mansion, looking out of the window at the lotus pond, Shen Ping looked a little confused.

What is fate?

In his mind, it was the trajectory of a person’s life from growth to the end. This trajectory was both predictable and varied. Otherwise, if the outcome was destined from the beginning, what was the point of cultivation?

No one wanted to struggle meaninglessly under the arrangement of fate.

But now, in this world, even the talent of a Luminarist had already been arranged. Ordinary people were destined to be ordinary people for generations to come. There was no chance of turning things around. It was the same for Luminarists. They kept repeating their fixed fate.

Even if one or two lifetimes were different, it was just a characteristic of changing fate. If this is what fate really is, whether it was resistance or compliance, there was no difference.

Shen Ping thought of the Immortal Dao territory. Was he destined to walk the path of the Realm Sea Peak from the beginning? The golden finger had only sped up this path.

“Husband! It’s late. Why aren’t you asleep?” Yang Yimo walked over and looked at Shen Ping’s expression. “You seem to have something on your mind.”

Yang Yimo smiled. “Husband, why are you suddenly saying such things?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just a passing feeling.”

“If everything is predestined, then I should thank the heavens for allowing me to meet you and be together.” She leaned on Shen Ping’s shoulder and said gently, “So what’s destined isn’t always bad.”

Shen Ping put his arm around her slender waist and shook his head. “You’re right.”

In this world, Luminarists were noble and could enjoy all kinds of glory, women, wealth, status, lifespan, and so on. Even if the cycle of reincarnation repeated for generations, all the Luminarists would probably be willing. And someone like him with the longevity lamp talent could even become the legendary nine-star Luminarist and dominate all living beings.

Even though fate had arranged for them to fight against those Luminarists who plundered the longevity lamp, this was only a few tribulations.

Compared to what he enjoyed, it was not worth mentioning. With such a fate, it seemed too pretentious to talk about meaning. Including the immortal dao territory. With a beautiful wife and concubines, as well as a great opportunity and the increase in his strength, what was there to be dissatisfied about?

Shen Ping knew this, of course. It was just that at this moment, he felt that it was not worth it for those living beings. They had worked hard for generations, but in the end, they could not change anything at all. It was really a tragedy. Therefore, if this was the true meaning of fate, to be honest, he was very disappointed.

“Husband, don’t think too much. What we know of the world may be a façade,” Yang Yimo comforted him.

Shen Ping lowered his head and covered her red lips. “Yes, it’s just a facade.” He had only studied fate for a short time. It was too shallow to make a conclusion now.

They cuddled for a while before Yang Yimo said, “You should marry Luo Lin next year. You’re the director of the government office. You can’t just have me as your wife. There should be more people in the house, or it will seem deserted.”

“Sure.”

Luo Lin had the body of a Flame Beast, so he naturally wouldn’t let her go.

…

Spring passed and autumn came. The cold comes and the heat goes. In the blink of an eye, another five years passed quietly.

After Shen Ping ruled Lingzhou, he quickly realized that as long as it was something that benefited the people of Lingzhou or could change the fate of ordinary people on a large scale, the candlelight of the longevity lamp would be brighter. When absorbing the Life Qi of vengeful spirits, it would increase even faster.

This made him understand that it was very likely that the longevity lamp concerned the fate of all living beings. Therefore, he became more and more concerned about the governance of Lingzhou.

Under such circumstances, the seven longevity lamps in his body burned brighter and brighter. He was not far from seven-star high-grade.

After nearly four years of sex with Luo Lin, the Pupil of Flame Beast was indeed growing. Now, he could see the fate of ordinary people for a year. This was extremely helpful for his observation.

Most importantly, through the Pupil of Flame Beast, he could interfere and change the fate of ordinary people and even Luminarists. It was more subtle and silent, and he could change it from various aspects without a trace, instead of directly interfering.

“By using one’s own momentum to push forward, to interfere, the foundation of fate and the thread of fate, the rebound force produced will be the least! Or rather, it follows fate itself.”

After understanding this, Shen Ping was very excited. He knew that he could finally participate in the arrangement of the power of fate and understand and study fate more clearly.

“Son-in-law, over the years, the weather in our Yun Country has been good. The country is prosperous and the people are safe. Under your rule, Lingzhou has become more and more prosperous. The Monarch has already issued a commendation decree, which will come to the capital city in a few days.”

Speaking of this, Patriarch Yang said in a low voice, “But the Yan Kingdom has been plagued with calamities over the years. The strength of the country has decreased, and the people are suffering. According to the intelligence gathered by the Yang family in the Yan Kingdom, in less than three months, the Yan Kingdom will attack our Lingzhou again. This commendation is also to remind you to be prepared and secretly send reinforcements.”

Shen Ping was enlightened. He frowned and said, “If the Yan Kingdom goes to war this time, they probably won’t withdraw their troops in a hurry like last time. In the war between the two countries, the people are still suffering.”

Patriarch Yang stroked his beard and smiled. “It’s rare for one like you to care about the common people, but you must not have the heart of a woman. Otherwise, you will not only harm yourself, but also the people.”
