Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 586 - 198: Why bring such a vulgar thing? Take it off!
The red and black of the Li Dynasty Imperial Robe.
Imperial Princess Xiao Li!
Indeed, this was the real Xiao Li.
A majestic illusion formed from smoke.
Appearance-wise, she was indistinguishable from Xiao Ying. Wang Mu could tell them apart only because he was too familiar. He could discern the slightest difference in her demeanor, even a mere look in her eyes, without needing any special marking.
However, this was just Imperial Princess Xiao Li.
In the game, Xiao Li had several special appearances.
First was Imperial Princess Xiao Li, her appearance in most of the storyline. She was dressed in the official Li Dynasty Imperial Robe, exuding authority with a hint of decisiveness.
Second was as the Lord of Great Wilderness City. In this guise, she wore a long skirt typical of Great Wilderness women, veiled, and clad in the foreign attire of that remote region. The Great Wilderness was secluded, with customs distinct from the Central Plains. To see her as the Lord of Great Wilderness City, one usually had to wait for a grand festival. During such events, Xiao Li, as the city lord, would choose to join the city's folk in celebration and dancing.
Third was Empress Xiao Li, a look specific to after her ascension to the throne, visible only near the grand finale in the later stages of the game.
Naturally, Xiao Li's character and abilities differed across these different stages. This was especially true during her Empress phase, when she fully possessed the capacity and courage to be the Overlord of all under Heaven. In contrast, during her Imperial Princess Xiao Li phase, she still appeared somewhat immature, with tactics leaning towards gentleness. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
The final appearance of Xiao Li was called "Phoenix crown and wedding dress," unique and obtainable only after successfully "conquering" her character in the game...
At this moment, it was Imperial Princess Xiao Li who appeared. It was also the Imperial Robe Xiao Li had worn during her heavenly offering ritual at this very Holy Mountain.
Wang Mu's expression remained unchanged. She's not real; it's not a living person descending, he thought, it's evident from her gaze. This is the Ancient River Battlefield, not the real world. The Primordial Spirits appearing here are all remnants of Living Beings who died long ago. But the Ancient River Battlefield originated from the Moon Palace. Rumors say the Moon Palace came from the Upper Realm, from that elusive Li Dynasty which achieved mass Ascension. In plain terms, the Ancient River Battlefield has an inseparable connection with that Li Dynasty of the past, the one that ascended.
The surrounding Li State cultivators also began to stir, reacting in various ways to the sudden appearance of the mysterious figure. Some thought she looked similar to the Great General they had encountered before. Others noted her different attire and concluded it probably wasn't the Great General. Some even speculated...
"Could it be that we've completed the Ancient River Battlefield, and this is our reward?"
And wouldn't you know it, some of these cultivators actually guessed correctly.
The next moment, the figure in the void glanced around at everyone, then scattered down points of dazzling brilliance. When this brilliance fell upon the Li State cultivators, it was as if a drop of colored ink had been added to a black and white pond; their forms began to show some color.
Hmm... is she really here to give rewards? Wang Mu thought. That wouldn't be too bad.
Of course, he was more concerned about the situation here. Wang Mu sensed it, feeling his soul as if it were about to float away blissfully. What is this scattered brilliance? Some kind of strange energy?
As a Primordial Spirit, he felt his soul strengthen at this moment. In that profound state, he seemed to grasp something.
It seems like a spark of enlightenment, an opportunity for insight... Wang Mu mused.
Meanwhile, in the same instant that the radiant light scattered, the distant world began to transform into points of brilliance and dissipate. Streams of Primordial Spirits, like floating dandelion seeds, soared toward the sky.
This world is beginning to disappear... It seems this means the Ancient River Battlefield trial has also been passed? Wang Mu took a deep breath, watching those streams of Primordial Spirits. Those are very likely the Residual Souls of those who were lost in the Ancient River Battle, left behind on the battlefield from that year.
Many Li State cultivators watched this scene, secretly amazed. An extremely perceptive cultivator exclaimed, "If this Ancient River Battlefield truly existed... then perhaps this is another cycle of reincarnation..."
"Primordial Spirits..."
"The mysteries of reincarnation are not something cultivators of our realm can grasp... It must be the work of powerful entities from the Upper Realm... I've heard rumors in Li State that the Moon Palace descended from the Upper Realm. It seems this Ancient River Battlefield is subtly related to reincarnation... Truly, profoundly mysterious."
"That spark of enlightenment just now, that opportunity for insight, gave me much to ponder..."
As the surrounding scenery gradually faded, Wang Mu quietly watched the distant scenes unfold and then vanish.
The Ancient River Battle had resulted in many casualties. Many died, whether they were Watchers or soldiers from the defending army of Great Wilderness City. Of course, even more died on the Barbarians' side. In the game's storyline, the protagonist led the Watchers to wreak havoc in the Barbarians' rear echelons. They even overthrew the Imperial Court, causing chaos and demoralizing the Barbarian army. The secret burning of countless supplies was a critical factor; otherwise, the Barbarian army wouldn't have retreated.
Perhaps it was precisely because so many had died that the war eventually shocked the entire world. It became the most prominent chapter in Xiao Li's life, elevating her renown to another level.
Those who died back then... never knew the final outcome of the war... Wang Mu sighed softly to himself. Now they should know... Reincarnation... But Xiao Ying died much later. How could she appear here?
Wang Mu shook his head. As the scenery gradually disappeared, the Ancient River Battlefield vanished along with it.
The deadlock is broken. This means the trial has been completely passed.
Alright, time to prepare for the next one... Wang Mu exhaled, sensing the changes.
Until the moment he himself disappeared, Wang Mu did not see Imperial Princess Xiao Li, still in midair, glance towards his location and narrow her eyes.
「Li State, Jade Rabbit Immortal Mountain.」
High above, the Moon Palace in the Second Layer Heaven slowly descended.
