I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 509 Another Timeline
Returning to the normal timeline, on the moon that is infinitely close to the earth.

Chang'e felt as if she had a dream, a long dream spanning tens of thousands of years.

Outside of the mainstream of history, there are occasionally some branching rivers that differ slightly from the mainstream.

In Chang'e's timeline, it wasn't Heng'e, the eldest daughter, who was initially rescued by Chang Xi, but rather Chang'e, the youngest daughter.

Unfortunately, although Chang'e was innocent and kind, she did not have the courage and wisdom of Heng'e.

After Changxi sacrificed himself to save his other daughters, transforming into the laurel tree.

In order to destroy the tyrannical Golden Crow, the gods forged the Sun-Shooting Arrow and took the opportunity to shoot up the moon, tearing the Taiyin Star apart.

—The moon star is split to draw upon the Qi of the Guanghan Palace.

—A branch of laurel was broken off and used to forge a divine arrow that could shoot down the sun.

This is the history that took place on the timeline of Chang'e.

To be honest, if Heng'e hadn't pulled Chang'e into the main timeline at the last moment, she probably would have become a victim of those mad gods.

What happened afterward was pretty much as Da Yi had described.

Due to the interference of some unknown force, Chang'e unexpectedly returned to the time before the ten suns appeared together, after Da Yi was demoted.

However, unlike Yi, Chang'e recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

After all, in her original timeline, the gods broke the laurel tree and tore apart the moon star in order to forge the sun-shooting arrow for Yi.

So the truth is not that Yi was blind and didn't recognize the other person, but that Chang'e simply didn't want to talk to Yi.

However, Chang'e finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted from hunger, which is why she was rescued by Yi.

Over the next ten years, Chang'e gradually accepted the fact that she had become a mortal and witnessed the suffering of humankind, but she still did not know the meaning of her coming into this world.

Even when the world was destroyed by the ten suns, Yi, knowing he was no longer at his peak, still stepped forward for the sake of all living beings.

Unable to understand their Father God, nor willing to repeat the ending of their own timeline.

Chang'e called out the names of her mother and sister for the first time in this world, and then Heng'e naturally took her back to the Moon Star.

With Heng'e's help, Chang'e successfully replicated the sun-shooting arrow from her own timeline.

However, this time the Moon was not torn apart.

Because Chang'e sacrificed her life and soul to reforge the arrowhead of the sun-shooting arrow.

So, what's my current situation?

Slowly pushing open the coffin lid, Chang'e sat up from inside, looking astonished.

Immediately afterwards, Chang'e found herself transformed back into a celestial being, with surging divine power coursing through her body.

This familiar scene made Chang'e instinctively look around, and then she saw the eleven crystal coffins near her.

However, unlike his own timeline, it is different.

Of the eleven crystal coffins, only the one belonging to Heng'e is still covered.

"Miss?"

A sense of foreboding had already formed in my heart.

Chang'e quickly climbed out of the coffin and staggered to the only covered coffin.

As expected, Chang'e saw her eldest sister lying quietly in the coffin, her expression serene as if she were simply asleep.

"Miss!"

Tears streamed down her face instantly, and Chang'e's voice sounded exceptionally sorrowful.

Unlike her own eternal sleep, Chang'e could no longer sense any life force from Heng'e. When her twelve daughters were annihilated, Changxi used all his strength to forge these twelve crystal coffins, thus preserving their last vestige of life.

It is precisely because of this thread of hope that we are able to survive.

Changxi and Heng'e were able to "revive" Chang'e and the others time and time again by using the method of rewinding time.

But Heng'e's situation is clearly different now; she is truly dead.

Heng'e may have even foreseen her own death, and she died with a faint smile on her face.

Without much verbal communication, Chang'e knew from the smile on Heng'e's face that Heng'e had not been murdered.

Considering the other ten empty coffins, how could Chang'e not know what had happened?

Although she didn't know where her other ten sisters were, Chang'e knew they must be "resurrecting" in various ways.

"Big sister, I will find all my sisters!"

At this moment, Chang'e finally shed her naivety and experienced that belated sense of responsibility.

"But before that, I have to deal with some legacy issues."

Standing upright again, Chang'e's face revealed a sense of majesty and solemnity somewhat similar to that of Heng'e.

In the blink of an eye, Chang'e disappeared into the Moon Palace.

When she reappeared, she was already near the laurel tree.

Unlike the sacred laurel tree from the "Battle of Shooting the Sun" ten thousand years ago, the sacred laurel tree of today has long since withered.

Only the charred, ugly tree trunks remained, standing bare on the ground, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding rift valleys.

"Are you so afraid of Mother? My great Father God!"

Gently stroking the remaining trunk of the laurel tree, Chang'e's face showed both sorrow and helplessness.

Chang'e may be innocent and kind, but she is not the kind of brainless, naive girl.

Especially after experiencing two timelines, once Chang'e adjusted her mindset, she could see many things at a glance.

The Sun-Shooting Arrow, capable of destroying the Golden Crow, must be forged using laurel branches and the Qi of the Moon Palace.

Extending this further, could the Heavenly Emperor, who is also a Golden Crow, be killed in the same way?

Although his mother was a great goddess, she was easily influenced by others.

After so many years of living together and the bond between husband and wife, the Heavenly Emperor Haojun naturally wouldn't care that Changxi possessed the ability to kill him.

But once the moon goddess is replaced by Heng'e, everything changes.

Putting aside the fact that Heng'e's personality was inherited from the Heavenly Emperor, she was naturally aloof and domineering, and her wisdom far surpassed that of Changxi.

From the perspective of the Heavenly Emperor alone, He would never allow a daughter with a similar personality to His own, who is qualified to become the next Heavenly Emperor, to wield such power.

—Once you possess the power to "kill the king," it doesn't matter whether you have the will to do so.

Chang'e even suspected that the conspiracy that led to the deaths of her twelve sisters might have been an omen.

The gods learned of the Heavenly Emperor's weakness and orchestrated the break between him and the Heavenly Empress.

Then the Heavenly Emperor decided to destroy the world and start anew, so that his ten sons would expose the earth to the elements and recreate the gods in the human world.

Thus, the "Battle of Shooting Down the Suns" by Yi and the event of the gods joining forces to overthrow the rule of the Heavenly Emperor came about.

"It's a pity that although you destroyed this sacred laurel tree, you still couldn't escape your fate of death."
