Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

At this moment, Guan Xin is comforting the distressed Zhuge Hong. Zhuge Hong is deeply engulfed in self-blame, feeling powerless as a mortal to help her master and mistress.

After listening to Jiang Xuan’s recount, Guan Xin, Zhuge Hong, and Ye Wuyue were profoundly shocked and were speechless for a long time.

Jiang Xuan said with shame,

"Due to my personal desire, I hope to leverage Wenxin Heaven’s publicity capability to announce this matter to the world."

Honestly, thinking rationally, Guan Xin felt that Jiang Xuan’s request was not something an emperor typically does. After all, to spread the word throughout the world within seven days, even Wenxin Heaven must exert its maximum effort.

But after seven days, all efforts will vanish like bubbles.

No one will remember the name Jiang Ran. Even the traces of her in Wenxin’s historical records will be completely erased.

So, this is a meaningless effort.

Yet Guan Xin could understand Jiang Xuan.

Even emperors have their personal obligations.

Seeing Guan Xin remain silent, Jiang Xuan insisted,

"All expenses shall be borne by Shangjing Immortal... Imperial Dynasty, even if it means bearing the name of a foolish ruler."

Guan Xin shook her head, "Immortal Emperor, you don’t need to say that. Jiang Ran’s achievements have benefited Shangjing, and it’s only right to repay her. However, I want to know, even if everything turns to nothing after seven days, do you still not mind?"

Jiang Xuan said despondently, "I have never done anything for her. I cannot accept that she would just bid farewell to this world so lightly."

Ye Wuyue already had tears streaming down her face.

Even Zhuge Hong, who initially had a poor impression of Jiang Sha, couldn’t help but feel sorrow for her now,

"I underestimated her."

Guan Xin sighed,

"I... need to consult the Great Saints."

Then,

she returned to Wenxin Heaven and organized an internal highest-level "Great Saints Council".

At the council, Guan Xin spoke about the Primordial Ancestor.

When the Primordial Ancestor fell, the saints already sensed it, so they weren’t shocked but rather felt sorrow.

Next, with the support of Yu Xuan Great Saint Wang Ding, the head among the seven saints, and Wen Sheng, the council established Guan Xin’s position. From now on, Wenxin Heaven will enter a new era under Guan Xin’s leadership.

At the end of the council, Guan Xin mentioned Jiang Ran.

Everyone was astounded by Jiang Ran’s "path of redemption" spanning thousands of years and her extraordinary strategic abilities.

However, they also expressed that Jiang Ran’s identity as the Demon Cultivator was an insurmountable boundary. Acknowledging Jiang Ran’s status and achievements means acknowledging the Demon Cultivators, which Wenxin Heaven could never accept.

Moreover, if Jiang Ran is destined to vanish by the Destiny Dao, doing all this is completely meaningless, merely wasting publicity resources.

This matter, even the most supportive of Guan Xin, Wang Ding, could not agree,

"For me, I apologize for misjudging Jiang Sha, and fully recognize her efforts and respect her character. But her identity as a Demon Cultivator is something Wenxin Heaven cannot overlook. Furthermore, doing all this for her is meaningless."

Guan Xin said,

"If she is destined to disappear, then what will Wenxin Heaven lose by doing something for her, with Shangjing bearing the cost?"

"There would be no loss, nor would there be any gain."

"If we only talk about gains, what will Wenxin Heaven use to enlighten the world?" Guan Xin furrowed her brow.

The crowd began to discuss intensely.

Except for a few more sentimental Great Saints, no one supported Guan Xin.

Guan Xin felt a bit bitter inside. She knew that just by herself, she couldn’t secure more support. After all, she had just ascended to power and was far from having influence and recognition.

If this continues, the Great Saints Council can only end.

Yet, just as everyone was about to leave, a loud voice exploded,

"I support Guan Xin’s proposal."

Everyone looked up only to see an elderly Taoist in a blue robe stride into the council chamber.

Great Saint Yan Cheng Li Kaide questioned,

"Who are you?"

Beside him, Yu Xuan Great Saint Wang Ding stood rigidly like a wooden figure, and after a moment, he trembled and said,

"Yu... Jade Ancestor."

Jade Ancestor?!

The crowd immediately burst into a clamor.

Yushan Daoist had a gentle smile on his face,

"Ladies and gentlemen, long time no see."

His appearance and physique slowly transformed into the familiar Jade Ancestor to everyone.

Guan Xin stared woodenly at him.

Yushan Daoist smiled and said to her,

"How have you been?"

Guan Xin snapped back to reality and shouted tremulously,

"Jade... Jade Ancestor."

Yushan Daoist gently asked,

"How was the last lesson Changge taught you, are you satisfied?"

Guan Xin couldn’t help but feel tears want to flow, but that would be too inappropriate, too unlike the image of a person in charge. She tried to smile,

"It was the best lesson I’ve ever had!"

"That’s good."

Yushan Daoist looked at the saints,

"A person who died for the world is certainly not a Demon Cultivator. And if she is mistakenly deemed by the world as a Demon Cultivator, then what we must do is rectify her name. This is the significance of Wenxin Heaven’s existence."

He didn’t need to speak excessively, nor did he need the saints to understand his purpose.

As long as he stands here, it is the best persuasion.

After all,

It had long been proven that when Jade Ancestor once wrote the "Seeking Truth Book" confronting Heavenly Dao, it wasn’t defying Heavenly Dao but for the world instead.

So,

He remains the revered advocate of justice by the people.

An advocate molds the starlight in the long night, sending the spring colors to the Mortal World.
