Prologue

Ten thousand years ago, in the Nine Heavens, the love between the Heavenly Emperor and General Xuan Long was the envy of the gods.

The day of the war between the gods and the devils, the sky was dyed red with blood as the two tribes bordered on the South Ridge of the Gods, and General Xuan Long led the heavenly soldiers and generals to chase away the devils. However, he was seriously injured and fell into the arms of the Heavenly Emperor who came to him, smiling as he was dying, "Don't cry, I'm not going to disappear. After I fall into reincarnation, you can come and find me."

The Heavenly Emperor cried like a child who could not find his mother and wiped away the blood that was pouring out of his mouth, "The four seas and eight wildernesses are so big, how can I find… You must not die, how can I bear it if you die and leave me alone?"

"A'Yuan is good, be obedient." Xuan Long strained to lift his blood-stained hand, his fingertips probing the Heavenly Emperor's stunning face, wanting to wipe his tears, but afraid of dirtying his face, he withdrew his hand. "See the wound on my face? The marks left by the karmic fire will be engraved on my soul and carried with me in reincarnation… The next time you see me, you will recognize me at a glance." Xuan Long's handsome face was so obscured by blood that he could barely see his original face. The right side of his face was burned by fire and the flesh was turned out, and even his long, originally shiny hair had lost its luster like dead grass. A hole was pierced in the front of his silver battle suit, and blood poured out of his heart.

"I don't want it, I don't want the next life, I want you to stay with me forever…" The Heavenly Emperor broke down and picked the man up in his arms, stood up and flew back to the Nine Heavens. "I'll take you to the Healing Fairy now, there must be a way…"

"There must be a way…" Xuan Long's consciousness was already blurred, his turquoise eyes half-darkened. He thought it was raining in the sky, and it took him a moment to realize that it was his lover who was crying, "It's no use…"

“A'Yuan… it's useless…" The Heavenly Emperor flew fast, and Xuan Long was held so steadily in his arms, so steadily that he wanted to sleep.

“A'Yuan, talk to me, okay?..." Xuan Long smiled softly with narrowed eyes. "If you keep ignoring me… I'm going to fall asleep…"

The Heavenly Emperor sobbed and choked, "Okay, when you're better, I'll talk to you every day, I won't let you go anywhere, I don't want you to be a general, I want you to be my Heavenly Queen."

"Silly A'Yuan, I am willing to be your general." Xuan Long's voice grew fainter and fainter, but a smile remained at the corners of his lips, "I am willing to be your general… to protect you for all eternity."

The man in his arms was lifeless before they could reach the Nine Heavens.

"I should be the one to protect you… I should be the one to protect you…" The Heavenly Emperor's beautiful peach blossom eyes gradually lost their sparkle as he looked at the man in his arms with fondness and murmured. “A'Po… A'Po, look at me."

"Don't you sleep… I beg you, don't sleep, look at me… okay…"

“A'Po…"

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the eight wildernesses to see the sea? Open your eyes now and I'll take you there, okay?…"

Naturally no one answered him.

The Heavenly Emperor felt that this man was joking with him, how could he die, how could he die… It must be fake.

"Han Po, if you don't wake up, I'll marry someone else to be the Heavenly Queen and not want you anymore." The Heavenly Emperor deliberately coldened his face to scare him.

The man in his arms remained silent.

However, the Heavenly Emperor panicked. Fearing that he might misunderstand, he leaned over to his ear and kissed him intimately, "I just lied to you… I won't marry anyone else, I just want you…"

“A'Po, wait for me… I won't keep you waiting for long."

"When I find you, I'll take you to see the sea in the eight wildernesses and do everything you want to do."

“Okay?…"

Three days later, the 95th Heavenly Emperor abdicated from his divine status, fell into reincarnation, and voluntarily suffered the hardships of the world.

It took the Heavenly Emperor ten thousand years to finally get the chance to reunite with Xuan Long in the mortal world, but he fell in love with the wrong person and personally pushed his A'Po into the abyss…
