I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

Lin Hezhen complained: "How could I have such a thing? Aren't you afraid of being accused of 'objectifying women'? I just happened to be there."

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded: "That's true. If there weren't all kinds of inexplicable forces trying to stir up trouble in Dongdu, our lives would be much calmer."

Eriri is the one who understands this sentence the most.

If the "Church of All Things" had not suddenly shown up, she should have continued to live in the spacious and comfortable Spencer mansion, have a happy family, draw in 18X books in her spare time, and be a carefree stay-at-home girl.

Instead of being here, carrying a blood feud, breaking off ties with my childhood sweetheart, and living as a golden retriever puppy.

Things in the world are unpredictable and fate plays tricks on us. That's how it is.

"It's late, you should go to bed early. We'll talk about the details tomorrow."

"Yeah, you too." Kaguya Shinomiya said softly, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Somehow, when she saw Lin Kazuma holding Eriri and gently stroking her head, she felt a sense of melancholy.

Once upon a time, she was the person closest to Lin Hezhen. The two shared their bodies, were honest with each other, and were very close.

But now...she could only watch him hug other girls from afar.

"Ahaha, I'm crazy for being jealous of a dog!" Shinomiya Kaguya laughed at herself and turned to walk towards her room.

If it were Hayasaka, what would she do?

This thought suddenly appeared in Kaguya Shinomiya's mind, and then she shook her head and threw the idea away.

Hayasaka, the girl who betrayed me twice, the fake sister who stole my lover, the love rival who trampled on my dignity, what is there worth missing about her?

Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head, drove all the messy things out of her mind, then quickly returned to her room, washed up, and prepared to go to bed.

The moon is at its zenith and the night is dark.

Shinomiya Kaguya, Yukinoshita Yukino, Sakurajima Mai and others have fallen asleep, and the sound of Eriri's steady and long breathing can be heard from the living room.

Lin Hezhen was meditating in the middle of his room, with the three sacred artifacts obtained from the royal family of the island country - the sword of Ama-no-Kuromo, the Yasakani no Magatama, and the Shinkeijyou Mirror - lined up and floating in the air.

His eyes were closed and his face was calm, as if he was in a meditative state, fully immersed in a state of mental connection with the three sacred artifacts.

The three sacred artifacts of the island country originated from the magic weapons treasured by the Qin Emperor in the Afang Palace more than 2,000 years ago.

At that time, Blue Star was rich in spiritual energy, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought brought about a flourishing world of immortal cultivation. In addition, Emperor Qin unified the world and collected all the treasures in the Afang Palace, which led to various schools of thought vying to study them, eventually forming a prosperous era with many magic weapons.

Later, in order to obtain the elixir of immortality, the Qin Emperor gave the three sacred artifacts to the alchemist Xu Fu, and sent him to lead three thousand boys and girls to cross the sea to the island country in the east to seek the elixir.

As a result, Xu Fu did not find the elixir of immortality. He was afraid of being punished by the Qin Emperor, so he did not dare to return to the Celestial Empire. Instead, he stayed in the island country and called himself "Emperor Shenwu", becoming the ancestor of the island country's royal family.

The three magic weapons, the Sword of Ama-no-Kushu, the Yasakani no Magatama, and the Shinjingjin Mirror, have since become treasures passed down from generation to generation in the island nation's royal family.

Now, the magic weapons of the Celestial Empire's immortal cultivation world have returned to the hands of the Celestial Empire's cultivators, which can be regarded as returning them to their original owners.

These three magic weapons have been worshipped for generations in the island nation and have accumulated countless powers of humanitarian faith.

This tremendous power of humanitarian faith has a fatal attraction to cultivators, just like a treasure from heaven and earth. As long as they can absorb it and transform it into their own power, their strength will immediately increase by leaps and bounds.

Of course, the power of faith is mixed with a large number of believers' distracting thoughts. Not only can monks who are not at a high enough level not transform it, but if they absorb it indiscriminately, they will end up with their souls collapsing.

Therefore, the royal family of the island nation only dared to use the power of the formation to convert and absorb the power of humanitarian faith from the three sacred artifacts bit by bit.

Only a madman like Daitengu would directly use the power of faith to "create a god", but end up creating a monster.

However, this difficult problem is nothing to Lin Hezhen.

With his Nascent Soul, he can already purify the power of faith. His memory also contains the techniques for transforming and absorbing the power of faith. As long as he follows the steps and removes the dross and retains the essence, he will be able to use the power of faith to break through the realm.

So, Lin Hezhen waved his hand and the Zhenjing Jinjing fell into his hand. Let's start with this most familiar magic weapon.

He closed his eyes slightly and put all his mind into the Zhenjing Jinjing.

After a moment, numerous complex and mysterious runes appeared on the originally simple and plain mirror. The mirror surface, which was originally as transparent as crystal, began to ripple. The golden light gradually covered the entire mirror, reflecting the various aspects of human life and the changes in the world.

Lin Hezhen's soul was immersed in it, watching the future scenes deduced by the Zhenjing Jinjing, and experiencing different lives.

In a certain world line, he agreed to Sakurajima Mai's confession on the school rooftop, and the two held hands and openly admitted their relationship in front of the camera.

Afterwards, Mai returned to the entertainment industry with his encouragement. He also wrote down some novels and scripts he had read in his previous life, becoming a glorious plagiarist.

He writes and she acts, and the two show their love through words and movies.

They are recognized by the industry as talented and model couples. They have reached the pinnacle of the entertainment industry together and have become the golden boy and girl in the hearts of many fans.

Their wedding was also unprecedented and was held under the attention of the national media. They exchanged rings and pledged their lifelong love.

Unfortunately, after many years of marriage, the couple had no children.

Sakurajima Mai went everywhere to seek medical treatment, but Lin Hezhen always advised her to give up, saying that their love was too shallow and could not be forced.

One day, Lin Hezhen finally achieved the state of enlightenment and was able to travel through time and space on his own.

In April when the cherry blossoms fell, he left resolutely in the desperate eyes of Sakurajima Mai.

Sakurajima Mai was left alone, crying.

Spring is coming soon; the spring that will let me meet you is coming soon; the spring without you is coming soon...

……

In another world line, Hayashi Kazuma accepted the confession of Yukinoshita Yukino in the garden of Yukinoshita's house.

He held Yukino in his arms, and with a sword, he killed his way through the Kamo family, announcing to the whole world that Yukinoshita Yukino was his woman.

He put a white wedding gown on her. She was Lin Xueno, Lin Hezhen's beloved wife.

"Will you always protect Yukino?"

"Of course." Lin He nodded.

"Do you know what 'forever' means?"

"Ok?"

“I hope… Kazuma, I want to be with you forever!”

"Is that so?" Lin Hezhen smiled faintly, "I understand."

Afterwards, Hayashi Kazuma retired behind the scenes, while Yukino realized her high school dream and became active in politics.

Little by little, they transformed the island nation into an ideal society, where talented people would not be excluded, hard-working people would be rewarded, and people with nothing would have a place to stay...

The only regret is that this perfect couple, like the flowers on the mountain top, did not have any children.

One day, Lin Hezhen finally achieved the state of enlightenment and was able to travel through time and space on his own.

"Sorry, Yukino, I have to go now."

"You big liar!"

Looking at Lin Hezhen's departing back, Yukino burst into tears.

That day, she cried all night, but she held back her sadness and continued to complete her work meticulously.

However, from that day on, there was no smile on her face anymore.

th.

……

It's another world line. In the secret room at the headquarters of the Sigong Group, Sigong Yan'an is preparing to carry out the possession of another's body.

Shinomiya Kaguya became Hayashi Kazuma's only Queen.

"Don't look at others, don't leave me, you are mine, and only mine."

The proud girl hugged her beloved man tightly, her eyes filled with unmelted tenderness.

"I'm yours……"

Lin Hezhen lowered his head and kissed her delicate lips, pouring all his passion into them.

"You're mine too."

"Um……"

Shinomiya Kaguya whispered softly, hooked her hands around his neck, and responded to his kiss.

Later, with the help of Hayashi Kazuma, Shinomiya Kaguya successfully took control of the Shinomiya Group, and then defeated and annexed the Shijo Group, becoming the world's leading chaebol.

Their every move can influence the changes in the world, and their love story has spread around the world with the publication of Kaguya Shinomiya's autobiography, becoming a fairy tale pursued and envied by countless people.

It’s a pity that such a huge Sigong Group doesn’t even have an heir.

Both Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayashi Kazuma had gone to the hospital for many checkups and there was nothing wrong with them, but they still had trouble conceiving, and even in vitro fertilization and surrogacy failed.

The two could only adopt the children of the separated family as a consolation.

One day, Lin Hezhen finally achieved the state of enlightenment and was able to travel through time and space on his own.

"Lin Hezhen, are you really leaving?" She bit her lips tightly, stubbornly trying not to let the tears fall.

That defiant look was just like how she looked when Lin Hezhen first met her.

"I came to this world in the beginning because I had to; I will leave this world in the end because I have to go. Sorry, I am not from this world after all."

"No, don't leave me!"

Chapter 246: It's outrageous

Looking at the deduction of the Zhenjing Jinjing, Lin Hezhen felt speechless.

In every world line, "Lin Hezhen" will eventually leave this world.

The reason for not having children is probably to avoid unnecessary ties and thus worries.

However, agreeing to the girls' confessions, marrying them, and then abandoning them and going to another world alone is too despicable.

The real Lin Hezhen would either never be with them or stay with them for the rest of his life. He would never be such a heartless person.

He already kept them in his heart, how could he bear to abandon them?

Therefore, the "Lin Hezhen" in the Zhenjingjin Mirror is merely a virtual character deduced by the mirror based on existing information, and is not the real Lin Hezhen.

The Zhenjing Jinjing has been worshipped by the island nation for more than two thousand years. It has been nourished by a large amount of faith power and has begun to develop initial intelligence.

It is well aware of the benefits of the power of faith and is unwilling to let Lin Hezhen transform and absorb it, but it is no match for Lin Hezhen, so it wants to disrupt Lin Hezhen's heart in this way.

"Humph, a mere dead thing thinks you can shake my mind?"

Lin Hezhen remained unmoved and continued to transform and absorb the power of faith step by step.

The Zhenjingjin Mirror trembled slightly, and it continued to deduce.

In a certain world line, Hayashi Kazuma did not choose the glamorous national idol Sakurajima Mai, nor did he choose the cold and aloof high-class flower Yukinoshita Yukino, nor did he choose the noble and elegant Shinomiya Kaguya like the Moon Princess.

He lived every day in an ordinary and low-key manner, and finally got together with the equally ordinary Kato Megumi.

"Why me?" Kato Megumi raised her face, and a barely perceptible nervousness was revealed in the corners of her tense eyes.

"Do you need a reason to love someone?"

"Don't you need it?"

"do you need?"

She looked at his profile, her heart pounding: "Okay, then I'll reluctantly believe you."

Kato Megumi smiled, her eyes curved into crescent shapes, just like the warm winter sun, so gentle that it was breathtaking.

"In fact, I have liked you for a long time. But I don't know if I am worthy of you. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, I am willing to wait for you, waiting for the moment when you accept me."

"Fortunately, I finally waited for it."

Tears welled up in Kato Megumi's eyes, but she was still smiling. Her smile was pure and clean, and filled with happiness.

She heard her heart beating rapidly: "Kazuma, I am not talented enough, please take care of me for the rest of my life!"

"Ah."

With the blessings of their relatives and friends, the two held a simple and warm wedding.

Afterwards, they traveled through mountains and rivers, filled a pot with wine, listened to the singing of the moon, and chose a city to live out their lives.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Kato Megumi fainted at home for no reason one day. Upon examination, she was found to have an incurable disease.

“Kazuma, we agreed to grow old together, but I’m afraid I’m going to break my promise.”

In the pure white ward, Kato Megumi was lying on the hospital bed, her face was frighteningly pale and her voice was as weak as a mosquito's.
