Qinglian’S Heart Is Covered, Fate Meets Chapter 11
byChapter 11
Baifei Protects His Kin, Redefining the Cosmos
The grand spectacle of the Three Realms paying homage had not yet faded when Gu Baifei (Baifei of the Heavenly Dao), standing on the Qingya Lotus Platform, suddenly raised his gaze. His pure white divine mantle flapped fiercely, and his voice, like a great bell, shook the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths: “If not for the thousand years of loyalty and ten thousand years of companionship between the Purple Lotus Goddess and myself, where would the hundreds of millions of living beings in the mortal realm come from? These myriad beings are all descendants of our bloodline. Who dares to bully my wife and insult my kin!”
His gaze swept over the beings of the Three Realms, a chilling light flashing in his eyes: “The Purple Lotus is your Mother. She bestows blessings and protects all life, yet she also endures the suffering of reincarnation to nurture our children. In the end, she is burdened, reviled, and left in a thankless position! If the Heavenly Dao cannot protect her completely, I will overturn this mortal realm, recreate the cosmos, and restore a bright, clear, and peaceful golden age!”
As his voice fell, the purple lotus immortal light around Qinglian (the Purple Lotus Goddess) surged. She suddenly raised her hand, and the lotus seal on her fingertip connected with the power of the Mother Goddess throughout the heavens and earth, drawing the sacred radiance of creation from Venerable Nüwa and the profound virtue of sustaining all things from Houtu, gathering them all into herself. At this moment, she was both the Purple Lotus Goddess who saves the world and the Mother Goddess who gave birth to all life. Below the Lotus Platform, all beings could feel that majestic power, which embraced all spirits yet tolerated no blasphemy.
An ancient god trembled and offered a word of caution: “Baifei High God, Purple Lotus Goddess, the heavens are eternal, and time is endless. Such anger, will it not exhaust yourselves?”
Gu Baifei wrapped his arm around Qinglian’s shoulder, and his divine voice descended again, carrying the resolute determination of a protector: “Protecting my wife, protecting my kin, protecting the descendants of my bloodline—even if the world crumbles and I undergo a hundred cycles of reincarnation, what exhaustion is there? If these Three Realms cannot tolerate my wife’s kindness, cannot tolerate the affection between us, then let them perish along with the old world!”
Qinglian lowered her gaze, and the lotus light in her palm sprinkled down upon the mortal realm. Those mortals and minor gods who had previously spoken ill of her felt a gentle power cleanse their souls, instantly clarifying their own origins. She spoke softly, yet her voice carried the majesty of the Mother Goddess: “I nurture my children and save all life, never seeking to be flattered, only seeking fairness. If anyone dares to insult or bully me again, do not blame the Mother Goddess for being merciless and withdrawing the blessings of this mortal realm!”
The heavens and earth fell silent instantly. The beings of the Three Realms dared not show the slightest disrespect, bowing down one after another, shouting, “Purple Lotus Goddess is benevolent, Baifei High God is mighty and wise.” On the Lotus Platform, the two stood facing each other, their children gathered around their knees behind them, and the Three Realms bowed before them. The power of the Mother Goddess and the divine might of the Heavenly Dao intertwined, protecting the completeness of their family and establishing the order of the cosmos. From then on, no one in the Three Realms dared to speak ill of the Purple Lotus Goddess; only the vast fragrance of the lotus and the continuous flow of blessings remained.
