Luck is an intangible, mysterious thing, yet it undeniably exists. Those blessed with great luck are favored by the Heavenly Dao, endowed with supreme blessings and opportunities, leading a smooth and fortunate life free of excessive hardships.
For someone like Chu Yang, favored by the Heavenly Dao and possessing immense fortune, losing his emperor-level cultivation could still allow him to make a swift comeback, thanks to his defiant luck. Reaching the emperor realm again would just be a matter of time.
Boom!
A terrifying aura of the Heavenly Dao emanated from Chu Yang. The profound luck continuously flowed from his body towards Xiao Qi.
The immense fortune gathered in the air, forming a dragon of luck that roared loudly.
The luck dragon was resistant, unwilling to leave Chu Yang's body. After all, this luck had been with him since birth, like a part of his body.
Sensing Chu Yang's determination, the luck dragon resisted even more, reluctant to part from him.
However, Chu Yang was resolute. He forcibly extracted the luck dragon from his body and infused it entirely into Xiao Qi's body.
With the continuous influx of Heavenly Dao's fortune, the supreme will of the Heavenly Dao gradually calmed down. The resistance and rejection towards Xiao Qi also diminished.
Chu Yang could clearly feel that as he lost the luck dragon, the laws of the world, which he could once easily perceive, became increasingly foreign until he could no longer sense them at all.
Even the Heavenly Eye at his forehead slowly disappeared along with the luck dragon.
Everything related to the Heavenly Dao was severed. He was no longer the chosen one favored by the Heavenly Dao.
But Chu Yang didn't mind.
Seeing Xiao Qi's soul gradually merging, a smile appeared on his lips. He was genuinely happy for her.
"Your life has been too tragic, filled with hardships you shouldn't have endured. Now, with the Heavenly Dao's fortune upon you, your future should be smooth and fortunate."
"I only hope that the rest of your life will be peaceful."
Chu Yang's expression was a mix of sadness and relief, but above all, happiness.
At least Xiao Qi's life would change completely, free from further suffering.
With the Heavenly Dao's fortune and the powerful Nine-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox bloodline, her future was bright.
Looking at Xiao Qi's beautiful face, Chu Yang's expression was full of tenderness.
Because Xiao Qi's soul was incomplete, he didn't worry that she would remember everything when she woke up.
She would have a brand-new life.
Life by his side was filled with hardship, and he didn't want Xiao Qi to go through that again.
Xiao Qi's mother looked at Chu Yang with a complex expression, full of regret.
She sighed softly at Chu Yang, "You have done enough for Xiao Qi and our Heavenly Demon Fox clan. Without you, our curse would never have been broken."
"Now, you've given up everything to save Xiao Qi. I don't know how to thank you."
"This child has been pitiful since she was young, with no support, enduring unimaginable hardships. But meeting you was her greatest fortune."
Chu Yang smiled faintly and shook his head. "Actually, I owe her. Without Xiao Qi, I wouldn't be who I am today."
"Now, I only wish for her to have a peaceful life."
With that, Chu Yang's lonely figure gradually disappeared from the scene.
He walked a long distance.
Suddenly, a tremendous change occurred in the sky. Brilliant golden light of the Heavenly Dao illuminated the entire world.
This golden light pillar, containing the will of the Heavenly Dao and endless laws, finally descended upon a place in Tianyao Mountain.
Seeing this, Chu Yang smiled.
Xiao Qi should be awake now...
He didn't want Xiao Qi to stay with him, but this was a necessary decision.
After all, the terrible karmic forces would entangle him, and losing the favor of the Heavenly Dao and his emperor-level cultivation would allow the dreadful curse placed on him by the Empress when she fell to take hold.
Chu Yang's future was destined to be filled with suffering and hardships.
But he wasn't afraid. He was only worried that Xiao Qi, if she stayed with him, would also suffer.
That little fox had suffered too much, to the point that it was heart-wrenching. He couldn't bear to let her endure any more pain.
Chu Yang, pale and exhausted, walked through the ruins, his strength completely drained. He collapsed among the debris.
Outside the Heavenly Emperor's Realm.
The cultivators who witnessed this felt a deep sense of unease.
The little fox lived a life of misery, but wasn't the Emperor equally so?
In fact, compared to the little fox's suffering, the Emperor's experiences were even more extreme.
Yet he still chose to save this little fox, unwilling to let her suffer the same fate again.
For this, he gave up everything he had.
At the same time, they all finally realized.
The little fox that followed the Emperor, braving the ancient forbidden lands and surviving countless near-death experiences, was none other than the future Empress of the demon clan, Bai Xiaoqi.
"Who would have thought that the Emperor actually managed to save the little fox in the end, and that the little fox turned out to be the current Empress of the demon clan."
The cultivators had mixed reactions—some were relieved, some found it hard to accept, some were shocked, and some were suddenly enlightened.
The Emperor bestowed his supreme heavenly fortune, the great Dao fruit of the Emperor, and all his blessings upon the little fox.
Because of this, Bai Xiaoqi had said that her birth was accompanied by celestial phenomena.
She was favored by the heavenly Dao, blessed with supreme fortune, and was a cherished daughter of the heavens.
With all this, Bai Xiaoqi's future was destined to be smooth and untroubled.
And indeed, that was the case.
With such great fortune, Bai Xiaoqi's power grew rapidly. In a mere thousand years, she attained the cultivation of an Emperor, becoming the new Empress of the demon clan.
Not only did she revive the prestige of the Heavenly Demon Fox lineage, but she also commanded the entire demon clan's army.
Under her leadership, the demon clan, which had been in decline, gradually began to rise again.
They once more became one of the most powerful races on the Continent of Ten Thousand Spirits.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoqi was already in tears.
All her memories surged back, and everything fell into place.
She finally understood everything.
The little fox in the mirror wasn't a coincidence, nor was it a coincidence that they shared the same name.
Everything she possessed—the immense fortune, the boundless blessings—all of it was given by him!
