Transmigrated into the love rival of a powerful and arrogant protagonist, forced into a daily love t

Inside that dark and gloomy palace.

Yu Ge finally understood why the Four Directions Domain hated those who reached the limit.

Why did Her Majesty the Supreme Empress of the Four Directions City fall into a deep sleep five years ago?

As expected, it was a conspiracy.

Li Changdu revealed the truth from five years ago.

"Who could have imagined that five years ago, when His Majesty was about to quell the turmoil of the four regions fighting each other, the other three regions joined forces with Lin Ziqi to cast such a bizarre curse on His Majesty."

"Lin Ziqi pretended to support His Majesty, stood up for him, and joined His Majesty's army to quell the rebellion. However, at the crucial moment, he joined forces with the powerful figures of the Three Realms to betray His Majesty, not only betraying him but even..."

Li Changdu's voice was choked with sobs and boundless sorrow, "and that sinister curse was planted in His Majesty's heart..."

"That damned curse contains corrosive power that destroys a cultivator's life force. His Majesty fought desperately to offset the curse's inevitable death, but ultimately fell into a deep sleep..."

long silence.

Li Changdu sighed again, his gaze gentle yet worried as he looked toward the direction of the ice coffin, in which the Prime Minister, who was devoted to the country, was still visible.

This girl is only in her early twenties, yet she made a decision...

Li Changdu sighed deeply, "Prime Minister, is there really no other way to break this curse?"

"Only..."

"A life-swapping technique?"

Yu Ge, hiding in the thick fog, felt a tremor in her heart.

A life-swapping technique?

Life-swapping technique.

As the name suggests, it's about exchanging one life for another.

Yin and Yang exist in the world. As agreed upon by the primordial universe, Yin and Yang should be in balance. The death of a person is irreversible.

Thus, the Six Realms came into being, and all living beings in each realm lived in peace.

However, there also exists a bizarre and heaven-defying technique in the world: the life-swapping technique.

Reverse your fate and be reborn!

The explanation of the life-swapping technique is even simpler.

Place two cultivators with similar fortunes into the Five Elements Yin Yang Grand Array.

Using the five elements and their associated energies to shield the secrets of heaven and disrupt the entanglements of energies under the heavenly order.

The lifespan of the living is transferred to the body of the dead.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious.

The person who surrenders their life will bear all the curses, karma, toxins, and sins within the deceased.

And it has to be done willingly.

In other words.

The Five Elements Yin-Yang Array is set up in Zhou Tian to swap the lives of the two people.

The dying, who are in a deep sleep, will be replaced by a vibrant new life.

The only price is that the person who loses their life bears the consequences of the other's death.

This is the only way Shangguan Yi could find in the past five years to awaken His Majesty and remove the strange curse from his body.

The Five Elements Fate-Changing Technique also has limitations.

The two people who need to exchange their lives have the same fate, and the person exchanging lives is willing to do so.

In order to become the person who saved his life, Shangguan Yi pacified the four regions within five years, did countless good deeds that benefited the country and the people, and increased his own luck, barely making him a suitable match.

As for being willing?

From the very beginning, Shangguan Yi belonged to Sheng Huang.

Even if the ruler does not wish for his subject to die, the subject will do so willingly.

Shangguan Yi sat beside the ice coffin, gazing at the surrounding array. "The Five Elements Yin Yang Array has been set up. The five carefully selected individuals were left behind to protect the array. I hope they can hold the array, and I also hope they can survive..."

"After all, the emperors of the other three realms will not agree to my resurrection of His Majesty..."

The Prime Minister's tone was stubborn; he clearly had concerns, but it also revealed a desperate gamble.

The Four Directions City of today is no longer the leading city in the four regions, where the supreme phoenix once descended...

She made many plans, but they were all insignificant in the face of absolute power.

Unfortunately, the fact that she obtained the life-changing technique was discovered by spies from the other three realms who were hiding in this place.

However, the art of changing one's fate requires the right timing, location, and people.

Tonight is the best time in ten years to change my life.

This is also a crucial moment for the True Phoenix to awaken once again...

Therefore, Shangguan Yi did a great deal of work for this.

I'd trade my life for His Majesty's...

A high wall was built with the blood of countless cultivators and warriors, just to block those powerful figures from the Three Realms...

Li Changdu gripped his sword. "Rest assured, today, they will only be able to enter this place by stepping over my corpse..."

With that, Li Changdu prepared to leave the main hall.

Because the Five Elements Yin Yang Grand Array is about to begin.

now.

Yu Ge, hidden in the blue mist, finally understood Shangguan Yi's plan.

The opponent had calculated the opportune moment, the favorable location, and the harmonious relationships, and was prepared to use the Five Elements Yin Yang Array to shield the secrets of heaven, exchanging their own life for Sheng Huang's.

The reason Yu Ge and the others were asked to guard the Five Elements Formation was actually to protect the Five Elements Yin-Yang Formation located deeper within it.

Furthermore, the matter of the life-swapping technique was also learned by spies from the other three realms.

This was the only thing Shangguan Yi overlooked.

Who would have thought that the city garrison captain, who was once highly regarded by the Emperor, would betray the country and collude with the enemy?

The reason is quite simple.

The other party felt that Sheng Huang was no longer the lofty phoenix; he only followed emperors and overlords, not those who had fallen into obscurity…

That person was at the highest level in the Four Directions Domain, yet for the sake of profit, he abandoned his family and relatives and betrayed his benefactor.

Shangguan Yi only regretted that she wasn't ruthless enough; she should have killed that person...

Shangguan Yi sighed, her red-rimmed eyes gazing at the emperor inside the ice coffin before her.

Her figure was clearly tall and ethereal, wasn't it?

How could she look so thin and frail now...

She should be high above...

What's up with this?

Why did it have to come to this!

Shangguan Yi sighed deeply, pointed to the sky and swore, "Your Majesty, this broken world needs you. Fortunately, I have protected the Four Directions Domain for you for five years. Now, please protect the future of all living beings for me..."

"However, you're too kind. I left some people's weaknesses for you, so when you wake up you'll be able to hold those people in your hands..."

"Elder Li, I don't know if you'll survive today, but I probably won't see you again. Please don't forget me..."

"Forget about me..."

"To be honest, I'm not a good person. In the past five years, I've killed many people, but there was nothing I could do. Those people were determined to harm you, to take everything from you, and to destroy the lives you swore to protect..."

"My hands are stained with the blood of evil people, but I admit, I'm not a good person either."

"Haha, people outside say that working with me when you wake up would be legendary, but it seems I can't do that..."

"Those with great fortune who conform to the Five Elements Yin-Yang Formation are unwilling to give up their lives, and I don't trust them either, but you can always trust me, just as I trust you..."

The prime minister, dressed in a black and red official robe, approached the ice coffin and knelt down respectfully.

"Your Majesty, in the afterlife, I will offer you countless offerings. You must be happy..."

The last sentence was spoken by Shangguan Yi to Sheng Huang, not by the Prime Minister to His Majesty.

She so desperately hoped that the person who protected all living beings would be happy forever...

The world is bad, but she is good...

Outside the imperial palace.

Li Changdu has already led his secret guards, assassins, and countless summoned cultivators to guard outside the palace, preventing the appearance of cultivators from the Three Realms who would interfere with Shenghuang's revival.

Inside the imperial palace.

The life-swapping ritual is about to begin...

talking.

In the center of the green candles and black flags, Shangguan Yi held a sharp knife in his hand.

The life-swapping technique requires transferring the blood of the living to the unconscious person...

but.

Amidst the flickering of candles and incense.

A golden figure descended upon the place, accompanied by a voice.

"Her Majesty the Queen is a good person, and good people will be rewarded..."
