I Only Marry Widows

"Is Cyan Nether Celestial Venerate referring to my Gifted Talent?"

Lu Chengfeng’s heart tightened. His greatest secret and trump card was not the Power of Time, nor the Great Sun Divine Techniques, but the Gifted Talent.

"Could the Gifted Talent be related to this Celestial Venerate?"

"Does she want me to use the Gifted Talent to acquire the power of the Celestial Emperor?"

"But how is that possible? Even if Chu Tiange becomes the Empress’s husband in the future memory, as long as Chu Tiange is alive, the Empress is not a widow. How could I possibly receive a gift?"

"Moreover, Chu Tiange becoming the Empress’s husband is just a potential future, not yet reality."

"This is simply impossible."

Thoughts whirled rapidly in Lu Chengfeng’s mind, but he couldn’t find any answer, so he directly spoke, "What you mentioned, Celestial Venerate, I truly do not understand. Please, Celestial Venerate, enlighten me."

Cyan Nether Celestial Venerate displayed a hint of a smile, "Past, present, and future are how ordinary beings understand time, but for those who truly control time, future and past are inherently one."

"Time is nothing more than the reincarnation of heaven and earth. The future will eventually become the past, and everything that happened in the past will become the cycle’s beginning, the future’s new start."

"So, past and future are distinctions of the mundane."

"For the sun and moon, their understanding of past and future vastly differs from that of ordinary people..."

Lu Chengfeng blinked several times, indicating that although he understood each word, he couldn’t comprehend their meaning when combined.

Cyan Nether Celestial Venerate couldn’t help but be amused by his expression, letting out a clear laugh, so lively and vivid like a young girl, despite being an ancient existence.

"Let me put it this way, you can consider the 100,000 years of memories you saw as things that have already happened, except the battle between the sun and the moon caused those 100,000 years to vanish from the world, as if everything were starting anew."

"Therefore, although what you saw are future memories, they actually occurred in the past."

"The inversion of past and future—that is the Supreme Power of time. You may not understand now, but as your understanding of time deepens in the future, there will come a day when you’ll understand what I’m saying."

Lu Chengfeng slightly nodded as if he understood but wasn’t fully convinced.

Cyan Nether Celestial Venerate shook her head and continued, "The Empress, who is Shenxiao, was the Celestial Emperor’s wife in those 100,000 years, not Chu Tiange’s."

"The real Celestial Emperor doesn’t exist in this world today; he’s in a future that might happen."

"Shenxiao was the Celestial Emperor’s wife in the past, and since the Celestial Emperor doesn’t exist now, her current state is quite peculiar. You could call her a widow."

Lu Chengfeng’s pupils suddenly contracted; Cyan Nether Celestial Venerate’s words couldn’t be clearer: "She indeed knows about my Gifted Talent."

Cyan Nether Celestial Venerate’s words stirred surging waves in his heart.

"I know what I’m saying may be difficult for you to comprehend now, but that’s not important."

"What’s important is that before Chu Tiange becomes Shenxiao’s husband, you must stop this marriage and become her man." When Cyan Nether Celestial Venerate said this, her tone was very solemn.

"Once Chu Tiange becomes Shenxiao’s husband, he will no longer be Chu Tiange but the true Celestial Emperor. Future and past will reverse again, and everything will be irreversible."

"And the time when Chu Tiange becomes Shenxiao’s husband is right after the conquest over the Netherworld..."

Cyan Nether Celestial Venerate’s gaze fixed firmly on Lu Chengfeng, "So, this will be the last opportunity."

"Only if Shenxiao becomes your woman before the conquest of the Netherworld is over, can there be hope for change."

Lu Chengfeng suppressed his various speculations and doubts about his Gifted Talent, frowning as he said, "Celestial Venerate, with the Empress’s cultivation, couldn’t she deduce the future? Moreover, with her strength, how could she willingly marry Chu Tiange just like that? It seems too unreasonable!"

Cyan Nether Celestial Venerate shook her head and sighed, "Everything you don’t understand now naturally has its reasoning."

"The entire 100,000 years vanished from the Three Realms, a result of the sun and moon’s struggle, which hasn’t ended yet, and might even be at its fiercest now."

"Since those 100,000 years disappeared, no one in heaven and earth can control time, not even Shenxiao."

"Still, her power is terrifying. Even if she can’t control time, she can use the Great Tao she comprehends to deduce the future, but the future she deduces might just be what certain existences want her to see."

"However, Shenxiao is too confident; she only believes in herself..."

Lu Chengfeng felt his head swell from absorbing this information, more complex than all the divine techniques and combat techniques he had ever studied in his life.

Feeling slightly overwhelmed, he said, resignedly, "So, senior, you mean to say that the whole Three Realms is on the brink of doom, even the Empress is trapped in some enemy’s scheme, and only by sleeping with her can I save her and the Three Realms."

Lu Chengfeng was internally ranting, "What kind of melodramatic romance fantasy script is this? The fate of endless beings in the Three Realms ultimately depends on who the Empress marries."
