Under One Person: Starting from the Inheritance of Gods

Chapter 466 The Birth of the Red Chamber
Through the spacetime properties of the bronze portal, Huang Tian saw various scenes on the timeline of that world through this star.

Its gaze pierced through the barrier of stars, reflecting the flow of fortune and the entanglement of cause and effect in that world.

Amidst the bustling world, pavilions and towers, poems and songs intertwined, presenting an image of grandeur and elegance, yet within it lay a sense of decay after the "prosperity of splendor and the burning of oil."

A hazy, ethereal veil shrouds it, preventing any deeper exploration.

"This is the realm?"

Huang Tian's tone carried a hint of surprise and amusement, "The Twelve Beauties of Jinling, a deep dream of the Red Chamber."

"I thought it was just a glimpse of life in the writings of literati, but I never imagined that it actually had its own boundaries and was captured by this bronze gate. Its depth... seems to be more than just what it appears to be."

He gazed intently, his eyes sweeping over the joys and sorrows within the Grand View Garden, the power struggles and changes within the Jia family, finally settling on a place shrouded in mist and clouds, neither real nor unreal—the Land of Illusion.

There, amidst the myriad exotic flowers and auspicious clouds, sat a fairy maiden in shimmering robes, her jade-like hand gently caressing the enormous "Mirror of Love and Lust" before her.

The mirror reflected a bizarre and fantastical scene, mirroring the fate and destiny of the Jia family and even the entire dynasty in the mortal realm. It was none other than the Fairy Disenchantment.

Beside her, one could vaguely see figures such as "the Fairy of Dreams," "the Bodhisattva of Love," "the Golden Maiden of Sorrow," and "the Bodhi of Resentment" standing by.

Their auras were ethereal, and they were not ordinary cultivators, but rather spirit fairies born from a certain unique set of rules concerning love, karma, sorrow, and hatred in this world.

What caught Huang Tian's attention even more was that deep within this illusory realm, there seemed to be a connection to some more fundamental power, a power that was not purely Daoist magic or immortal essence.

Instead, it is closer to "literary spirit," "fate," and even "the desires and thoughts of all living beings," which is extremely mysterious.

"interesting."

Huang Tian's lips curled slightly. "The rules of this world are unique. It is based on 'emotion' as its framework, 'karma' as its net, and 'fate' as its foundation, thus evolving into rise and fall."

"That Fairy Jinghuan may seem to be in charge of romance, but in reality she is very likely a primordial being born from the Heavenly Dao of this world, and naturally she governs a part of the rules."

"His cultivation level is not weak. Although his perspective seems to be limited by the calamity of the 'Dream of the Red Chamber' and he has not been able to truly transcend it, he is still quite remarkable."

He withdrew his gaze and said to Meng Fan and You Tian, ​​"My lord, the core of this 'Dream of the Red Chamber' world lies in destiny and the tribulations of love, but it is mainly about destiny."

"The Fairy Disenchantment, who is in charge of the Realm of Illusion, seems to be in charge of human affairs and romantic entanglements, but in reality, she is one of the key figures in maintaining the balance of this world. She also has many fairy maidens and spirits under her command, each with unique rules."

"However, Fairy Jinghuan only governs the rules of the love tribulations. As for the rules of destiny, it seems that the one who governs them has already perished!"

"For details, please ask the Venerable One to take action and use the bronze gate to reflect time and space."

Upon hearing this, Meng Fan immediately activated the bronze portal to investigate the specific information about this world.

The world of Dream of the Red Chamber was originally a large-scale world of level one, but due to the fall of the Heavenly Emperor of the Crimson Palace and the dissipation of its rules, it was downgraded to a medium-scale world of level four.

The relationship between Fairy Disenchantment and the Heavenly Emperor is somewhat similar to that between the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother. Both are beings who embody the Dao and are born from the rules of the Heavenly Dao, except that Fairy Disenchantment is much weaker.

In order to usurp the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, the Fairy Disenchantment first tricked the Divine Attendant Shenying of the Crimson Palace into descending to the mortal realm, attempting to steal the Heavenly Emperor's remaining Dharma body from the Crimson Palace. Then, in order to restore this realm to a first-level large world after seizing power, she used lust as a net to taint the Heaven-Mending Stone with worldly dust, thus appropriating it for her own use.

If she truly succeeds, Fairy Jinghuan might actually become the ruler of this realm.

After receiving this information, Meng Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Although this realm is also at the fourth level, its rules and nature are very different from those of You Tian Realm and the Snow World where Jun Tian is located."

"The Emperor Heaven itself is the fruit of the Dao of hegemony and kingship, and naturally holds the power of 'order' and 'rule'. The rules of 'fate' and 'love' in this world may be able to complement you. It just so happens that the Heavenly Emperor of the Dream of the Red Chamber world has died, and his power is vacant. You can take his place and make it your Emperor Heaven world."

You Tian also said, "That's right. Moreover, the mortal dynasty in this world is at a critical juncture in its calamity, and this is the perfect time to intervene."

"You can gather the fortune of mortal dynasties, ascend to the throne of the human emperor, and then plot to become the Heavenly Emperor."

Huang Tian nodded: "That suits me perfectly. Then I will go to this realm, meet the Fairy Disenchantment, and see how many mysteries are hidden in this Dream of the Red Chamber."

Having said that, Huang Tian had a thought and opened the bronze portal.

A shimmering light appeared on the portal, and the star representing the world of the Red Chamber lit up slightly. A golden light containing the power of the majestic Heavenly Dao order traversed the endless chaos and silently descended upon that world.

This time, Huangtian did not choose to descend directly and forcefully, but instead transformed a trace of the Heavenly Dao's will into an imperceptible "cause outside the order".

Like a speck of dust thrown into a calm lake, it quietly merged into the fiercely evolving river of fate, its final destination being near the Jia family mansion, which was the source of the entire calamity.

Huang Tian himself remained independent of the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, observing the rise and fall of dynasties.

He wanted to see what kind of ripples his wisp of Heavenly Dao will, which held the power of "tyranny" and "kingly way," would stir up when it entered this world with "love and karma" and "fate" as its warp and weft.
How much could the Fairy Disenchantment, who was in charge of romance and knew the workings of fate, possibly perceive?

In the Land of Illusion, Fairy Disenchantment, who was gazing at the Mirror of Love and Lust, suddenly frowned slightly, as if she had sensed something.

She looked up into the void, a hint of doubt and confusion flashing in her beautiful eyes. The once clear trajectory of fate in the mirror seemed to have gained an elusive variable at this moment.

October later, in the back street of the Jia family mansion, a baby named Jia Yu was born.

When he was born, there were no rays of light or fragrance filling the room; only the stray cats and dogs in the surrounding streets and alleys bowed down to him and stood guard over him.

His mother was a distant relative from a collateral branch of the Jia family who had long since fallen into decline and was almost forgotten. She died of postpartum hemorrhage due to weakness after giving birth, leaving behind this orphaned child.

His father also passed away after failing the imperial examinations several times, exhausting all his efforts.

This child was extraordinary from birth; he never cried or made a fuss, and his eyes were clear and bright. As he grew up over the years, his lips became red and his teeth white, and he became more and more handsome.

Because he often played with cats and dogs in his childhood, he was often jokingly called the "Cat and Dog General" by other members of the Jia family.

Little did they know that these cats and dogs were Jia Yu's spies throughout the capital city, and it was these cats and dogs that allowed Jia Yu, an orphan, to live such a comfortable life.

In order not to attract the attention of Fairy Disenchantment, this wisp of Heavenly Dao will did not display too many divine abilities.
