Chapter 33 [ Heavenly Jade Emperor Daughter: Zhinü]
"See you later, Master, and take care of yourself." After speaking, Ming Cangyue entered into a grey cloud portal that led to 'Alpha Ruler Planet'
At the same time...
....
Heavenly Jade Emperor Palace!
The Heavenly Jade Emperor Palace, one of the strongest empires in the Divine Dimension, was ruled by the Heavenly Jade Emperor. The White Jade Palace served as the imperial residence of the Jade Emperor and his family, situated in a floating palace shrouded in celestial clouds. It also housed the throne hall of the Jade Emperor, where major decisions were made by the Jade Emperor and many elders of the Heavenly Jade Emperor Palace.
Currently, inside the hall, on a high pedestal, a handsome and domineering middle-aged man around 36 years old sat on a beautiful throne carved from jade. The man had a very calm, elegant, and serene aura, but no one would underestimate him, for he was one of the strongest men alive - the current Heavenly Jade Emperor.
Beside the Heavenly Jade Emperor sat an ethereal beauty, the Jade Empress, and wife of the Heavenly Jade Emperor. She was also one of the twelve heavenly beauties of the divine dimensions. Currently, in front of both, stood their daughter, Zhinü. The Jade Emperor had a total of four daughters and three sons, and Zhinü was the youngest and most talented among her siblings.
Zhinü had long blue hair and eyes, and her skin was very delicate and exquisite. Although she couldn't compare her beauty to her mother's, her true beauty was yet to bloom. She was just a girl, around 16 years old.
"My daughter, are you ready to go to the Mortal Dimension?" asked the Jade Emperor. "Grandpa Wang told me that a great fortune awaits you."
Hearing this, Zhinü showed no emotions, as she had stopped expressing them after the event that had occurred. That event had transformed the once-happiest princess into a hollow and lifeless one.
Seeing her daughter's dull expression, the Jade Emperor and Empress felt a pang of guilt, knowing that their carelessness had led to this. Even though he was one of the strongest people, he couldn't do anything about it.
On Zhinü's ninth birthday, among the group of gifts, she found three attractive bracelets. When Zhinü wore all three bracelets on her left hand, they began to merge and create a snake-like structure. Each bracelet had different colors - red, purple, and black. As they merged, Zhinü felt tormenting pain, which no child could bear. After the merge, the bracelets engulfed all the colors from her life, leaving her to see the world only in black and white.
The Jade Emperor and Empress tried every possible way to remove the bracelets but found it impossible, as it would cost their daughter's life. After searching, they discovered that the bracelets were a cursed treasure, absorbing their daughter's blood. If not removed, their daughter would only live for 25 years and see the world only in black and white.
In the hope of finding a cure, they searched everywhere and asked for help from knowledgeable mortals and gods. The Heavenly Jade Emperor remembered what the Pavilion Master of Heaven's secret pavilion had told him when he sought help.
[In the Past]
The Pavilion Master had said, "Jade Emperor, those bracelets are not just a simple cursed treasure, but they also contain chaos energy. If we forcefully try to remove them, it will kill or cripple your daughter for the rest of her life. It is nearly impossible to destroy those bracelets without affecting your daughter."
"Each bracelet represents one curse. The red bracelet curse sucks your daughter's blood, the purple bracelet curse absorbs all the color from her eyes, and the black bracelet curse allows her to absorb anyone's nightmare she touches, tormenting her with those nightmares."
"As for the cure, there is only one way, and only one person can do that. From my divination, I found out that the person who can remove your daughter's curse will be someone who holds the power of chaos energy. Only that destined person can remove the curse from your daughter, and one more thing - that bracelet can only be removed by that person when he is in love with your daughter."
The Jade Emperor had asked, "Can you find that person who gave that gift to my daughter?"
The Pavilion Master replied, "No, I cannot divide that person's existence, as if they never existed. But the more bizarre thing is that I could not divide the origin of the bracelet; it's as if it directly appeared on your daughter's hand. I think there is a play of higher power involved."
The Pavilion Master continued, "As your friend, I will advise you. It is not my talent speaking, but my experience. That person will be born or already has been born in the Mortal Dimension. It is also not without proof; all the luck of the three dimensions is somehow starting to concentrate in the Mortal Dimension."
"Any person born with the power of chaos must be chosen or blessed by chaos. A person chosen by chaos cannot be an ordinary person. There are only six holders of chaos energy since the birth of this universe, and that person will be the seventh holder of chaos energy. Every holder of chaos is more powerful in the same realm; they can even fight five realms above themselves. They are unbeatable in the same rank, and their powers are unfathomable. If they did not die in their adventure life, they could even rule the sky of all three dimensions."
The Jade Emperor had said, "Friend, I do not care about those chaos holders. What should I do to save my daughter?"
The Pavilion Master replied, "My friend, I think you should send your daughter to the Mortal Dimension when she becomes sixteen and possesses the ability to protect herself. I was able to deduce her future to a certain extent when your daughter was not affected by those three bracelets. I had already told you that your daughter would face one tragedy and three fortunes in her life. At that time, I could not divide what tragedy she would face; I had told you about her tragedy, but you did not take it seriously. I do not know what your daughter's future holds, but I think you should start by sending her to the Mortal Dimension because, at that time, one of her fortunes was seen in the Mortal Dimension. If your daughter is lucky, she can meet her destined man."
Furious at the Pavilion Master's words, how can Jade Emperor leave his daughter's life to something as intangible as luck, fate, or destiny? Jade Emperor can't accept that his daughter life depends on mere chance!
The Pavilion Master had cautioned, "You can feel it, right? There is a vast web of conspiracy, and your daughter is at its core. A black hand controls the threads of fate around her, from the cursed bracelets to the plan to send her to the Mortal Dimension. Be cautious, for we do not know who these people are or what their true motives are."
After some discussion, the Jade Emperor had agreed to send Zhinü to the Mortal Dimension when she turned sixteen, knowing he was playing into the hands of the unknown conspirators. Yet, he vowed to become stronger to protect his family, declaring, "No one will survive if they dare to harm my family!"
Now, as Zhinü stood before her parents, ready to embark on her journey, the Jade Emperor's voice trembled with emotion. "This opportunity can change your life, my daughter. It might also remove your curse."
A glimmer of hope flickered in Zhinü's eyes, a spark that had been absent for years. "Bye, see you later, Emperor Father and Mother," she said in her monotone voice before stepping into the blue cloud portal and disappearing into the unknown world of the Mortal Dimension.
The Jade Emperor and Empress watched their daughter vanish, their hearts heavy with worry and uncertainty. They knew that Zhinü's journey would be fraught with danger, but they also hoped that she would find her destined partner and break the curse that had haunted her for so long.
