Damn it, something's wrong with the gacha I got.

"At that moment, the demon bow developed a twisted and intense infatuation with the compassionate Medicine King, an emotion that grew stronger as the Medicine King healed his wounds and bestowed upon him the grace of immortality. At that time, Lan was still just a mortal who had received this blessing."

A suppressed gasp rang out in the courtyard.

Chen Bai took a deep breath and continued his narration:

"I ask you all a question: what is the essence of the [Fun] destiny? The answer is unconditional giving and selfless compassion. When Arashi expressed his boundless admiration to Yakushi, the rules of destiny made it impossible for Yakushi to decisively reject this feeling, because to reject it would itself violate the principle of [Fun]."

"And so, an unbalanced chase began." Chen Bai's tone became low.

"The Pharmacist continues to spread the blessings of life throughout the universe, and Arashi follows in his footsteps, from one world to another, from one galaxy to another. His infatuation gradually changes, from gratitude to admiration, and from admiration to possessiveness."

An elderly monk frowned and said, "How could a star god have human emotions? That doesn't make sense."

"Good question!" A hint of approval flashed in Chen Bai's eyes. "That's the key point. Lan was not a Star God at that time. He was just a mortal who had gained immortality and had considerable power. It was this ever-increasing power, coupled with his increasingly twisted obsession with the apothecary, that sowed the seeds for his future path of becoming a [Hunter].

He paused, letting the audience have a chance to process his point.

"Imagine this! You deeply love someone, but that person gives the same care to everyone they meet. At first, you might comfort yourself by thinking that this is what makes her great. But what will happen after thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, when this pain of not being able to have someone all to yourself ferment?"

Chen Bai's voice suddenly rose:

"It will turn into jealousy! It will turn into resentment! As Lan watches the Pharmacist spread his compassion across the universe, and countless civilizations prosper because of the Pharmacist's grace, the black hole in her heart grows ever larger."

"'Why can't you just look at me? Why can't you belong only to me?'—These thoughts, day after day, year after year, gnawed at Arashi's reason!"

He seemed to be immersed in the past events recounted by Chen Bai.

"Thus, this feeling could no longer be suppressed." Chen Bai's narration reached its climax.

"Arashi finally couldn't hold back any longer and made an impossible request to the pharmacist: please stop bestowing blessings upon other beings and reserve all your compassion and attention for him alone."

The courtyard was silent, and the expression on his face was one of utter dismay.

"What was the Pharmacist's answer?" Chen Bai asked himself and answered, "Of course it was a gentle rejection. It wasn't that He was unwilling, but that He couldn't, because the nature of the [Abundant] destiny dictates that the Pharmacist must respond to every call for life. This rejection became the last straw that broke Lan's rationality."

His speech quickened, tinged with the excitement of declaring the truth:

"In extreme pain and resentment, Arashi made a crazy decision: since she could not possess the Yakushi's compassion, she would make that compassion disappear from the universe! If the Yakushi could no longer receive the Yakushi's grace, then at least the Yakushi would not belong to anyone!"

"Just then," Chen Bai lowered his voice, creating an air of secrecy, "the well-known leader of the Suiyang clan, who was also resisting the Pharmacist's favor, found himself in a perfect alliance. With the help of the Suihuang's power, Lan sublimated and transformed her twisted love and hate for the Pharmacist, ultimately embarking on a completely new destiny—"

He paused for three seconds, then clearly uttered two words:

"Hunting."

These two words exploded in the courtyard like a thunderclap.

The gasps of the mourners rose and fell, almost sucking away all the warmth from the courtyard.

“That’s right!” Chen Bai’s eyes gleamed with an all-knowing light as he stood on the steps, spreading his arms like a roc spreading its wings, and solemnly revealed the unforgettable truth:

"The initial driving force behind the birth of the [Hunter] destiny was not some 'justice in the name of revenge'... It was just a paranoid soul driven by love turned to hatred, trying to end the pain of not being able to have the one he loved by destroying the one he loved!"

Silence, deathly silence.

The "truth" of the bribery incident shocked me, and my mood was like a rollercoaster, going up and down, before finally exploding like a mushroom egg in some low-lying spot.

He was completely blown away!

Bai Lu Mi: "......"

Is this the kind of secret I can hear?

No way! What kind of secret news is this?!

This is practically fabricating history!

However, the reactions of the two star cores were completely different.

Xing asked Qiong, "Brother, is this really the truth?"

Qiong also looked bewildered: "I...I didn't know, I didn't expect it to be so shocking!"

At that moment, both of them felt that Chen Bai wasn't acting at all.

On the contrary, it is truly revealing a truth that cannot be brought to light!

At this moment, a young cultivator asked in a trembling voice, "But... but why is the history we've heard completely different? The records of the Immortal Ship state that the [Hunting Rangers] were born out of the disaster brought by the Fengrao people..."

"Good question!" Chen Bai turned around abruptly, his eyes blazing. "This is precisely the most cunning and vicious aspect of Lan, or rather, the Demon Bow Ancestor!"

His voice was filled with indignation:

"After becoming a god, Lan possessed the ability to reshape the narrative. He colluded with the mystique of the [mystery], an entity skilled at concealing the truth and weaving lies, and systematically altered history. All records of his twisted love for the Pharmacist were erased, replaced by a righteous and awe-inspiring narrative: the [Hunter] was born to protect the 'Gorilla' from calamity."

Chen Bai scanned the room, making eye contact with each of the victims for a few seconds, before facing the swarm of people again.

"Think about it! If the truth is exposed, the legitimacy of the [Hunter] will be completely destroyed! How can a being who becomes a god out of hatred because of personal feelings and cannot be together raise the banner of justice?"

Therefore, the hunters' henchmen must cover all this up, must portray the Pharmacist as the source of disaster, and glorify their actions as necessary evil.

The older monk seemed to be deep in thought: "So, the persecution we, the Medicine King's lineage, have suffered all this time is not because we have done anything wrong in spreading the blessings of abundance, but because... we have unintentionally become living evidence of that buried history?"

“Exactly!” Chen Bai nodded vigorously. “Every time we spread the compassion of the Medicine King of Compassion, every time we mention the true meaning of the Jianmu, we are unintentionally threatening the carefully constructed empire of lies by the [Hunter]. That’s why they are trying to exterminate us, and that’s why they are so afraid of the world knowing the true power of the Jianmu!”

Just as the participants were still reeling from the shock, Chen Bai dropped another bombshell:

"However, things don't end there. Recently, I glimpsed an even more terrifying sinister force from the future: the 'Ancestor of Destruction,' Nanook, has also set his sights on our Compassionate Medicine King!"

"What?!" Xing Suo exclaimed.

Chen Bai's expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"The Hunting Grounds have always been at odds. Nanuk despises Lan's hypocritical attitude, but after learning about Lan's secret past with the Pharmacist from Joy Aha, a vicious plan was born."

Mr. Chen took a deep breath and continued constructing the history:

"Nanook's decision to interfere was not out of admiration for the pharmacist, but out of contempt for Arashi and a destructive desire."

"So [Ancestor of Destruction] thought to himself, since the Hunter wanted to monopolize the Pharmacist, then he would take the Pharmacist away. This mad face became uncontrollable, driving [Destruction] to take action."

"And their target is Jianmu! By corrupting Jianmu, Nanuk attempts to twist the fate of Fengrao and incorporate it into the system of Destruction. If successful, the Medicine Master will no longer be the compassionate Medicine King we know, but will become part of the power of Destruction; at that time, not only will the Medicine Master be completely defiled, but the entire life stream of the universe will also suffer irreversible pollution!"

One of the monks asked in alarm, "So those forces that have recently tried to take advantage of the Jianmu are actually..."

"They are the henchmen of [Destruction]!" Chen Bai's tone was resolute. "They pretend to cooperate with us, claiming to stand with us, but in reality, they are secretly implanting a star core, attempting to transform the Jianmu tree into a breeding ground for destruction. Once they succeed, the Jianmu tree will no longer be a symbol of life, but will become a source of spreading destruction!"

The atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely heavy.

The pilgrims never imagined that their unwavering faith would be entangled in such a complex web of karmic entanglements with the star gods.

Even some of those who knew a little about the inside story seemed to understand something, muttering to themselves:

"No wonder...no wonder, the leader..."

Chen Bai looked at Xing Si Chu's annoyance and confusion, and knew that the time was ripe.

His voice suddenly became loud and powerful:

"Do you understand now? Our Medicine King's Secret Tradition has always stood on the side of truth, yet it has been stigmatized due to the distortion of history! Our Compassionate Medicine King has always been a symbol of compassion and life, yet he has been persecuted for thousands of years because of a twisted unrequited love!"

His words ignited the tension in the hearing aid like a flame.

"What's even more tragic is that now [Destruction] also wants to lay its hands on our benefactor, attempting to drag the last piece of pure land into the abyss of destruction! Can we sit idly by? Can we allow the lies of history to continue, and let Lord Yakushi suffer this injustice?"

"No!" came a chorus of voices from the crowd.

Chen Bai nodded in satisfaction and opened his arms:

"Therefore, I propose! We must launch an unprecedented counterattack! Not with force, not with underhanded tactics, but with overwhelming force and decisive action."

"We will use every channel to bring this buried history to light, starting with the South China Sea, gradually spreading it throughout the entire star system covered by the Interstellar Peace Corporation, and then to the desolate frontier worlds."

"We want every civilization to know that beneath the righteous mask of the [Hunter] lies a twisted face born of love turned to hatred! We want all life to understand that [Destruction]'s covetousness of the Jianmu is a dirty act of robbing someone of their love!"

"When the truth spreads throughout the world, the legitimacy of the [Hunter] will crumble, His followers will fall into self-doubt, and the sinister influence of [Destruction] will be revealed, along with the attempts of the Medicine Master to undermine His faith. Our compassionate Medicine King will regain his rightful reputation, and His mercy will once again be understood by all!"

He stepped down the steps and returned to the crowd, his tone becoming both friendly and firm:

"Of course, our plan needs time, patience, and even more courage! We may encounter more brutal repression, and we may face more vicious slander... But for the sake of the Pharmacist, and for the countless Fengrao believers who have suffered from misunderstanding for thousands of years, we must fight this battle for the truth, and we must win it!"

One of the donors asked excitedly, "Sir, what exactly should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Bai revealed a confident smile.

“I have already devised a preliminary plan. First, we need to collect more historical evidence, especially ancient documents that were not completely destroyed, secret folk songs passed down orally, and even fragments of time preserved under the blessing of the stars.”

"Secondly, we need to establish a truth-spreading network spanning across star systems, using stories, poems, dramas, and other forms to make this history vivid and relatable, and to expose the dirty face of [Destruction]!"

"Finally, at the most critical moment, we will make a public announcement to the entire universe to expose this lie that has lasted for thousands of years!"

He looked around, at every pair of eyes ignited by hope:

"Fellow practitioners, from tonight onwards, we will no longer be a secret organization passively enduring persecution. We will become messengers of the truth, correctors of history, and vanguards in restoring the reputation of our Compassionate Medicine King! Let us take Jianmu as our witness and make a vow—we will not rest until the Medicine King's innocence is restored!"

In the courtyard, the monks responded in unison.

As Chen Bai watched this scene, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

This feeling is amazing!

That's so nice!

At this moment, Chen Bai embodied a mental state that was difficult to describe.

No one understands the Medicine King Tzu-huai better than me!

No one understands abundance better than me!

This is the art of constructing history!

However, getting too carried away with acting isn't good either.

You still have to stop in a critical moment.

In order not to expose any flaws, Chen Bai put on a composed expression and then solemnly announced the intercepted action plan.

"Alright, our goal from now on is not this utterly boring test of copying scriptures, but to uphold the dignity of the Medicine King. I hereby declare that, starting immediately, this ridiculous test is hereby officially abolished. Anyone who is eager for abundance and dares to reveal the truth is welcome to join our big family!"

"Unite more people! Make more friends! Make fewer enemies! If we can do this, we will be invincible!"

"No one can take away our unwavering faith in the Medicine King! Do you understand?"

The monks, their voices loud and clear, and full of energy, responded in unison, "Understood!"

Xing (loudly): "Understood!"

Qiong (in a very loud voice): "Understood!!"

Bai Lu Mi: "......"

What are you two doing here?!

"Good. Meeting adjourned. Go back and keep a low profile. To win, we must first pacify the internal situation before dealing with external threats. We must root out villains like Zi Yueji and then rebuild the true [Fengrao]! Meeting adjourned!"

The passionate speech came to an end, and the participants left the courtyard.

As for the Purple Moon Rose, it was dragged away by a certain reaper, who was preparing to continue carrying out the punishment of justice.

Chen Bai looked at the Shizhe, who he had "reformed."

Although it's unclear how far the story of the Medicine King's Secret and the future of the Immortal Ship will go.

but!

A single spark can start a prairie fire!

OK!

The performance is now over.

—Author's Note—

P.S.: I feel like it's actually quite nice to have a bout of madness occasionally.

Chapter 65 I'm just putting on an act.

"Ah Bai, Ah Bai, what you just said was absolutely amazing!"

"Yes, yes, I had no idea that the pharmacist, Nanuk, and Arashi had such a complicated love triangle! I thought you were acting! It's so real!"
