Extra Chapter Five
I was ford from a wisp of spirit essence an Ancient Great Power infused into this space upon its creation, and I was tasked with governing it. To escape the Three Realms and achieve ascension, one must depend on the rit Points accumulated by the host bound to the space.
There are actually quite a few spiritual intelligences like . So achieve ascension by having their hosts continuously complete assigned tasks to accumulate points; others do so by acquiring human faith.
Because each of us can only bind to a single host in our entire existence, instances of failed ascensions due to choosing the wrong host are not uncommon.
Having witnessed many such cases, I was exceedingly cautious in selecting a host. Consequently, this caution led to wander through myriad worlds for a thousand years. Just as I was growing numb, I finally perceived a soul radiating a pure, sacred light.
Although rely a child, this child possessed such a sacred soul that she was destined for an extraordinary life.
Sure enough, after I bound myself to this child, she embarked on a wondrous journey.
Throughout this wondrous journey, I witnessed the vicissitudes of her life. I saw her grow from a four-year-old child into a person of responsibility and courage. I also witnessed her marriage and the birth of her children.
Her path in love was not like those depicted in storybooks—full of dramatic twists, turns, and life-or-death passions. On the contrary, it was remarkably serene. Transitioning from childhood sweethearts to lovers, everything unfolded naturally.
Yet, they were deeply devoted to each other. That young man, for his entire life, truly took only her as his wife. It's worth noting that in their worldview, it was exceedingly common for n to have three wives and four concubines.
For this, the young lady endured no small amount of slander regarding her "jealousy."
However, neither of them seed to mind very much.
So years later, after the young lady had saved countless lives during several major calamities, no one dared to associate the word "jealous" with her na anymore.
People affectionately called her Divine Doctor and Saint, believing her worthy of the Pri Minister's devoted love.
I departed the space and completed my ascension on the day of her fortieth birthday.
By that ti, she was already the mother of four children: three sons and one daughter, each of whom she had educated excellently.
The eldest son, as the firstborn brother, was the most rigorous. From a young age, he served as a study companion to the Crown Prince and later assisted the New Emperor in ascending the throne, eventually becoming a Powerful Minister of his generation.
The second son possessed a much more free-spirited and unrestrained personality. He had no love for power struggles or courtly sches, preferring instead to roam the mountains and rivers. He was famously known in the Capital City as a dissolute Young Master.
If this second son had been born into any other prominent family, he would undoubtedly have been a source of constant headaches for his parents. Everyone said it was due to the Pri Minister and his wife's lax discipline that he turned out this way, especially considering how outstanding his elder brother and parents were.
However, they were all mistaken. Every individual has their own personality and unique talents. Not excelling in studies or disliking officialdom does not make one a bad child.
The young lady often spoke of "providing education tailored to aptitude," and she applied this principle to its fullest extent. The world knew that the second young master of the Pri Minister's Mansion was free-spirited and unrestrained, seemingly only knowing how to eat, drink, and make rry. What they did not know was that he painted with exceptional skill.
Upon reaching adulthood, he bid farewell to his mother and set off alone to travel through mountains and rivers.
Then, five years later, a detailed map of the Great Zhou Dynasty and its four surrounding nations ca into being. This map proved to be of imasurable importance in the Great Zhou Dynasty's unification of the realm.
He subsequently set his next goal: to traverse the entire world and create a map of it.
The third son's temperant greatly resembled his Younger Uncle. From childhood, he trained in martial arts with his Younger Uncle and aunt, fully inheriting their skills. He is currently stationed at the frontier, serving under General Feng.
After several campaigns, he established a reputation for being valiant and a masterful strategist. At that ti, hostile nations at the border would not dare to advance a single step upon rely hearing his na.
Her youngest daughter most resembled the young lady. From a tender age, she loved dicine, and her constant refrain was her desire to surpass her mother and beco the finest physician in the land. She was exactly like the young lady in her youth.
And so, after their children had all matured and found success, the young lady and her Pri Minister husband resigned from their duties in the imperial court early on. They began to travel the mountains and rivers, enjoying a sweet world of their own.
Looking at the fully accumulated rit Points, although I felt a sense of reluctance, the ti for farewell had arrived.
The mont I was extracted from the space, I saw the young lady's eyes redden. Yet, with a smile on her face, she said softly, "Grandpa Bai, eting you has been my greatest fortune."
I nodded gently, also wanting to say, Young girl, being able to bind to you as my host—that is truly my greatest fortune.
