Of course, Tao Kang volunteered to help Fen Yue get revenge on the people who did this to her family.
They went and killed everyone.
They got revenge!
But so what?
Fen Yue had already lost her entire family, her younger sister committed suicide before she could be rescued.
Revenge did not bring your beloved family back!
Fen Yue was desperate and in pain, she also had the desire to leave Tao Kang and go on alone whatever the path she could take.
Anything could be better than the path she was taking at that moment!
However, Tao Kang promised her that there would be a way to bring her family back to life, not only her family back but also all the friends they had lost along the way.
Tao Kang said that his ultimate goal is to take revenge on a cruel goddess, that this goddess had a tree of life that allowed mortals to come back to life.
This gave Fen Yue hope, so she followed Tao Kang's side. He had better not have given her hope!
Tao Kang didn't change his reckless way of action much, yet his actions attracted men and women to his side. He continued to collect loyal friends for his team and flowers for his harem.
Fen Yue was already numb with all this, of course, she still had to fight to stand firm with Tao Kang as the number one woman, because she wanted to be the first to use this miraculous tree of life!
"Wasn't this where Sister Chao said she was born?" one day someone was talking during the trip.
"I remember she said that she came from the Nan Kang Region, her city was further inside. We are arriving in the port city of Nan Kan "said one of the harem women frowning at the smell of fish.
It was in that year that the lives of Chu Jiayi, Chu Lifen, Tao Kang, and Fen Yue intersected, which led to the further darkening of Fen Yue's soul, the death of Chu Jiayi, and the Chu Family massacre.
Chu Lifen was just an unpleasant side effect on all of this, Tao Kang took her to his harem. For Fen Yue, Chu Lifen was a time bomb that would betray Tao Kang at some point, after all, Tao Kang killed Chu Lifen's most beloved brother and her entire family.
No normal person would willingly live in his killer's harem!
So Fen Yue couldn't allow Chu Lifen to live.
She needs Tao Kang to reach the tree of life to bring her family and friends back to life!
So Fen Yue managed to eliminate Chu Lifen without raising the suspicion of Tao Kang. Or maybe he didn't even care about her in any way.
Of course, Fen Yue already had a broken soul and she could only live for one purpose, which was to bring her loved ones back to life.
Fen Yue didn't know why Tao Kang gathered so many flowers in his harem since he spent a lot of time either cultivating madly or acting recklessly causing chaos and death wherever he went!
So what's the point of picking up women to put in the harem?
Was that the form of protection for these women?
Didn't Tao Kang say no to women?
And did these women have no pride?
Fen Yue at some point during the journey to the top of Tao Kang, she let all her feelings go dull.
She was like a cold and murderous machine, she just moved on, whoever provoked her would only die, even gods and demons would be afraid of Fen Yue.
Everyone noticed Fen Yue's change in character and how things were getting worse. Fen Yue had gone crazy little by little until she became a monster in the shape of a human being.
Only Tao Kang had not noticed what Fen Yue was becoming.
Not only Fen Yue, but the other women in the harem had also had their souls broken and they didn't even know why they were still with Tao Kang. They just moved on, as if they were all caught in a malicious curse that made them useless and unwilling.
So what everyone was waiting for happened.
The journey has finally come to an end!
Tao Kang and his followers have reached the top of the world of martial cultivation!
They finally broke into the "Land of the Gods"!
Fen Yue after many years finally felt euphoria and anticipation. She could almost cry with joy and madness.
"Finally it's over! Now I can bring them all back! " thought Fen Yue with crazy joy.
What would Chao Mei say to her when the two were reunited?
For sure Fen Yue was going to scold Chao Mei for leaving her behind!
What would she do when she met her parents again?
Fen Yue would hug and cry like a child, she would want to be scolded by her mother's soft voice, and then she would want to be comforted by her father's thick voice!
When she reunited with her older brothers and younger sisters?
Fen Yue would hug and laugh happily, she would tell her great adventure and also let her brothers enjoy the riches she had conquered!
When she reunited with all her friends who died on the way?
They would drink wine until they fell and then laugh silly for doing that!
Finally, Fen Yue felt that all those terrible years would be washed away when she could place her order on the tree of life.
What a great illusion!
When they arrived at the palace of the great goddess ... There was no great goddess!
The celestial palace had been deserted for years and its parts were destroyed with traces of a terrible battle.
The tree of life had been uprooted!
Fen Yue was just not more shocked than Tao Kang to realize all of this, while Tao Kang finally realized that the great goddess was not trying to harm him when she sent him to reincarnate as a human being ... Fen Yue was understanding that the people who she loved would never return to her side.
That kind of shock broke any awareness that Fen Yue had, she just had great darkness in her heart.
The red stone that looked like a simple jewel shone brightly, but Fen Yue didn't care.
Nothing else mattered to her now. Everything she did was a joke and nothing could fix the damage and holes in her life.
"So, why don't you kill him?" a soft voice echoed in Fen Yue's mind, like rhythmic music. The voice repeated the same thing over and over, Fen Yue who was no longer psychologically well, now she was getting worse and worse.
"It is his fault ... He is to blame for the deaths of the people you loved ..." the voice continued to ring in Fen Yue's mind.
At first, Fen Yue only felt it was the voice of her own hatred and anger, but she didn't want to do anything against Tao Kang. She hated this man, it is true, but she knew that the death of her family and the death of Chao Mei were not directly linked to Tao Kang. The first was a terrible malicious incident and the second was Chao Mei who needed help, but even she as a best friend couldn't see how badly this young woman was doing.
Besides, Fen Yue felt guilty about Chao Mei's death, as she was irresponsible in taking a soul oath.
However, the voice didn't seem to tire of reminding Fen Yue of the many mistakes Tao Kang made during his journey to the top of the world of cultivation. How reckless Tao Kang ended up putting everyone in danger and then causing death.
If Fen Yue were psychologically well, she would realize the logical flaw in these cruel words, because people followed Tao Kang because they wanted to and no one forced these people to sacrifice themselves for Tao Kang.
Tao Kang himself had his own share of tears along the way and his own physical and psychological scars, not to mention the final blow when his long-awaited revenge against the great goddess didn't happen.
All the friends and loves that Tao Kang lost during his path of revenge ... They all died in vain.
This was a huge burden on a person's soul, so Tao Kang was not unharmed.
Unfortunately, Fen Yue was not well and as the days went by she only got worse. In the end, she tried to kill Tao Kang.
She managed to kill Tao Kang. Of course, Tao Kang killed everyone, causing the real tragedy for this whole group of friends and lovers.
