Chapter 288 The Tragedy of the World [1] Past and Present Lives
[Fairyland, Pure Water Lake, Water Crystal Palace]
When Shui Qingli rushed back to Shui Linglong Palace, Yu Qingyan had already been waiting for a long time. Although he didn't know how Yu Qingyan had entered his territory without his noticing, now was not the time to dwell on that.
He still remembered what Yu Qingyan had said when they parted last time: to let him see everything that had happened in his past life.
During this time, although Shui Qingli was constantly on the move, he was also thinking about what was still unknown but very important in his past life, in that world that was heading towards destruction.
"You're back." Yu Qingyan still used an honorific title for no apparent reason, just like Qianqian, which made Shui Qingli feel a little uncomfortable.
"Fairy Yan, what is there about your past life that you mentioned before that I don't know?" Shui Qingli thought for a moment before asking impatiently.
"As the person involved, how far can your perspective go?" Yu Qingyan remained expressionless, yet somehow she commanded respect.
Shui Qingli certainly knew the saying "the one involved is confused, while the bystander sees clearly," so he never doubted that Yu Qingyan could see things he didn't know, after all, he was originally a reborn person who transcended the laws of time.
"Further words are pointless. I'll let you see your past life." Yu Qingyan said indifferently, "However, looking back on the past is not a good thing for you. It may even make you relive your past joys and sorrows. Even so, do you still want to see it?"
“Yes, no matter what happened in the past, I have the right to know.” As Shui Qingli spoke, she had already unknowingly entered the illusion…
……Dividing line……
Shui Qingli remembered everything that happened after she left the forbidden place very clearly.
The first thing Shui Qingli did after leaving the forbidden land was to rush to Bingjingchuan. After all, a big reason why he risked his life to escape the forbidden land was for Bing Lixue, who was in a bad situation, so he went to check on her as soon as possible.
Bing Lixue's condition wasn't too serious, but her weakness was irreversible—of course, with the rise and development of the human world, the condition of all the nature fairies was getting worse and worse, and Bing Lixue was just one of the most severely affected.
That's why Shui Qingli became the head of the Lingxi Pavilion in another selection process. His goal was to seize the power of the Lingxi Pavilion in order to stabilize Bing Lixue's dire situation.
However, none of these attempts succeeded, but that's another story.
Shui Qingli then found Xin Ling, the gatekeeper of the Fairy Bank, and stored her secret in the Floating Cloud Tower, wanting to completely sever ties with the past.
So from then on, he was no longer the second-level deputy prime minister of Mutian Pavilion, but the Water Prince, who was known throughout the entire fairy realm for his gentle personality but formidable strength. In fact, because Yueyin never left Yinque Xiaozhu and all the other ancient fairies perished in that sealing war, his identity gradually became unknown and became a secret.
He should have remained quietly by the Pure Water Lake, lived a life of peace and tranquility, and stayed by his sister Bing Lixue's side... But when exactly did all of this begin to change?
He remained indifferent as Bing Lixue was tricked and imprisoned in the Mirror Space by Mandora. Even when Bing Lixue asked him for help, he only advised her to stay in the Mirror Space with an attitude of "it's for your own good".
After the great battle between Mandora and Xinling, Xinling selected several humans as Ye Luoli warriors and formed contracts with several little fairies who followed her, attempting to rely on their power to protect the human world and fight against Mandora.
But these unremarkable elementary school students seem to have cheat codes, escaping Mandora's pursuit time and time again. They even moved many holy fairies to help them, and he himself gradually fell in love with her because of her special blood-red skin.
However, putting aside the fact that all humans are the same and have similar blood-red skin, just consider that he was the second-level deputy prime minister of the Mutian Pavilion before, and he had seen countless humans and killed countless humans. So what was so special about an ordinary human girl who was everywhere?
Is such an ordinary human being truly worthy of his love at first sight, a love that had remained unmoved for thousands of years since returning to the fairy realm? Is he worthy of receiving holy water as a gift? Is he worthy of supporting and protecting his sister despite her safety?
In terms of bloodline, she can't compare to Bing Lixue, who shares the same origin as ice and water; in terms of depth, she can't compare to Yue Yuanming, who remains faithful to one person. So where does she win? Could it be because of the female lead's halo?
Even now, Shui Qingli is still baffled. Indeed, it's difficult for people to empathize with their past selves.

The rest of this chapter revolves around the past life; the latter half of this chapter is the original plot, so it'll be a bit of a chronological account.
