Chapter 556 The Incarnation"s Mission (II)
w.a.n.g Wei looked at the unkempt version of him who reeked of alcohol, and he could only remain speechless.
"How could she do this to me? To us?" said the Luck Incarnation
"It"s been a couple of thousand years, and you got your memories back. Shouldn"t you let it go?" said w.a.n.g Wei.
"You weren"t there; you haven"t experienced the terrible pain. Once you do, you will understand," replied the Luck Incarnation as he took a big sip from his gourd.
w.a.n.g Wei"s lisps twitched: something changed the Luck Incarnation"s mission.
Ever since he was young, he had everything he wanted. He could be walking home from a night of drinking from the Pleasure District and finding a bag full of money or herbs that could maintain health. As such, he never lacked anything in life–even power.
He once wanted to become a scholar. And the next day, he found a crystal that increased spiritual power. He then accidentally saved the life of the most famous teacher in the city, and the latter offered to teach him everything he knew for free.
His luck was so powerful that it could fulfill all his desire. One time, he met this beautiful woman and wanted her. However, she had a husband. His parents appropriately raised the Luck Incarnation before their untimely pa.s.sing. So, he left things alone and did not contact or try anything against her.
However, a week later, the woman"s husband died in an accident, and he met her when some cultivators chased her. The incarnation wanted to help her, but he knew he was powerless against cultivators. So, he did the cowardly thing and hid in a desolate house nearby.
And to his "surprise," he discovered a talisman powerful enough to kill all the cultivators chasing the woman he desired. And after saving the damsel in distress, he took her home to protect and help her in her time of need.
Unfortunately, at this time, the incarnation began to suspect he was a man with maximum luck and began testing it out. He went to a cultivator gathering and bought some random book and treasure that turned out to be of the Saint Tier.
After figuring this out, the incarnation knew the reason this woman came to "like" him was most likely the result of his luck, making him conflicted if he should reciprocate.
So, he delayed deciding by focusing on his cultivation. And as expected, everything went smoothly for him. Whatever he wanted, he would get it. Wherever he went, he encountered a beautiful woman who would fall in love with him and acquire some form of fortunate encounter.
As time pa.s.sed, the encounter became tired of life since everything came so easy to him; he never had to try for anything in his life. Once, he decided to become a king and headed to a place to establish his dynasty.
On his way, he met a group of people who mistaken them for their runaway prince and rushed him to take the throne since most of his family had died recently.
The incarnation almost died of anger when these people showed him the picture of their prince, who looked exactly like him. This world was vast with a population of the septillion. So, What were the odds of someone having the same face, build, height, and demeanor as him?
Furthermore, when he tried to argue, these people pointed to a scar on his left wrist, which their prince also had. The incarnation had this scar since he was young and never healed it despite his cultivation since he acquired it in the accident that killed his parents; he kept it to remember his past.
In the end, the incarnation flew away in anger after realizing his goal of being a ruler was again handed to him. He began to resent his luck; he saw it as a curse.
As such, he decided to study misfortune to balance his overwhelming luck. However, before he could succeed, he met the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
The moment he laid eyes on her, his entire being screamed that he wanted her. So, he quickly investigated her to find out she did not have a Dao Companion. Knowing it was his opportunity, he waited.
The incarnation knew that his luck would soon activate, allowing him to have a magical encounter with her and have a chance. So, he waited. Unfortunately, the waiting lasted a week, then a month, and eventually a year, but nothing occurred.
So, he became more proactive. He used a technique to give her misfortune. His plan was when she was in danger, he would swoop in like a handsome and chivalrous immortal to save her.
His plan failed since nothing occurred. The incarnation soon discovered his luck did not work on her, which somehow made her even more desirable to him.
Therefore, he approached her to court her directly. Regrettably, the first sentence she said to him was: "You"re the b.a.s.t.a.r.d cursing me with misfortune? Get out of my sight."
Despite the rejection, the Luck Incarnation did not give up. For a man who could acquire everything he desired, there was nothing he wanted more than something unattainable.
Consequently, he pursued her religiously. No matter how many rejections he received or what terrible thing she said to keep him away, he never gave up on her.
And eventually, his persistence paid off. She began to warm up to him; they became friends before starting to explore a romantic relations.h.i.+p. Unfortunately, the incarnation"s luck had repercussions.
The Luck Bachlash arrived in the form of a rumor: "w.a.n.g Wei, the blessed one, whoever acquire can rule the world and achieve immortality."
Once the rumor spread worldwide, all the cultivator sects, families, factions, and dynasties suddenly knew of the incarnations and wanted to capture him. He was hunted for thousands of years.
Luckily, he had the loved of his life with him. She accompanied him throughout everything; she was with him when he fell from the peak of the world to the gutter.
The incarnation felt that his pain and suffering were worth it as long as she was with him.
Sadly, fate had another plan for him. On one occasion, hundreds of sects encircled him, and even with all the treasures and fortunate encounters he had, he could not escape. In the end, she sacrificed her life to give him a chance.
Grief, pain, despair, guilt, and absolute anger overwhelmed him. So, he went on a rampage. He used guerilla tactics to destroy countless sects or factions. And when he felt this was too slow, he finally took cultivation seriously.
With his talent and resources, he quickly reached the strength to be invincible in the world. So, he killed 99% of all cultivators in this world. Sadly, revenge could not fill the hole in his heart, so he focused on cultivation to reach a realm where he could revive her.
The idea of seeing her beautiful and confident smile motivated him. He had to work hard to accomplish something for the first time since he met her. However, after entering the Supreme Realm and unlocking his memories, the Luck Incarnation received another shock he did not know how to process.
The woman he loved, lost, grieved, and pined after for tens of thousands of years was just another clone of Wu Hong. He also realized she might have changed the setting of his mission. After all, he should have never had affection for another woman.
In the end, he was happy he did not technically lose her, but he could not forget the pain of watching her die in front of him. So, he began to drink his frustration and completed feeling.
w.a.n.g Wei"s lips twitched as he did not know what to say. He did not expect Wu Hong to tweak the incarnation"s life and make him more miserable. However, he had to admit that her action made his Dao Heart tempering even better.
So, he looked at the incarnation and said: "Don"t be sad; she"s fine and healthy."
"You don"t understand," replied the incarnation. "However, when we fuse, you will experience how I felt and know how much it truly hurt."
w.a.n.g Wei knew he was correct. In the final fusion, he will experience the life of these incarnations as if it was his own experience. So, all their emotions, thoughts, and actions will be extremely vivid to him.
"You"re right," w.a.n.g Wei replied, but he appeared a little distracted. He was thinking about the incarnation"s way of courting Wu Hong"s clone. Although his persistence seemed romantic, he felt that the incarnation appeared too much like a stalker. If Wu Hong did not have feelings for him, his actions would not seem as romantic but creepy.
As a person with memories from Earth, he should know better.
"Does that mean I have some secret stalker tendencies? Or is the result of his environment?"
He quickly denied the first option and blamed everything on the incarnation. He also ignored that they would fuse and become one sometime in the future.
So, after giving the incarnation an odd look, he went to check on the Karma Incarnation.
