For most of the people in the world, their relationships with other people happened after their births.
But for some people, they had known each other in their distant previous lives.
For example, after meeting her creator, Xi Yao, on the immortal tree in the Immortal World, Xuan Jian (The female lead) realized that Xi Yao, with her longing for Immortal General Fei Peng, had created her with a fruit from the immortal tree and tossed her into the mortal world. Jing Tian was a reincarnation of the Immortal General Fei Peng.
It was fate that these two people would come together and experience another cycle of life from meeting to knowing each other.
As time went on, some people would drift further apart in the human world while others would still drift toward each other even after 1,000 years.
From Long Kui’s few words, the players learned that Jing Tian had been the Crown Prince of the Jiang Country in his past life hundreds of years ago, but no one had seen this previous life of his.
There was a spiritual spell called Reliving Dreams Like Roaming Immortals, which had also appeared in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 1. Besides the sporadic comments from the other characters, this spell could give the players some personal experience of the stories that happened in the characters’ previous lives.
“Is this Jing Tian’s previous life? He was Prince Long Yang of the Jiang Country in his previous life?”
“Look! Is that Little Kui?”
“This pair of brother and sister are very close…”
“How come you’re all watching this…?” Tang Yu felt low, even though he had expected that he would lose to Wang Xie in the academy exam.
He bought a cup of milk tea. Now that he wasn’t in the mood to study machines, he sat on a couch and watched the livestream.
“Xiaoyue,” Mu Qing asked in bafflement. “What’s this…? Is it the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 that you mentioned?”
Castellan Zong Wu and Elder Yu sat on a couch with solemn expressions, each holding a bottle of Coke. “I’m surprised that the shop owner has played to this part.”
“Let’s watch it!” Zong Wu stroked his beard and said, “Well, at my old age, I’m surprised that I’m still envious of this young man for being a reincarnation of an immortal and having such a good sister.”
“No! There are two sisters!” Elder Yu said with a serious expression, “Red Kuo is a bit unruly, but her spiritual spells and sword techniques are very powerful. How can you forget her!”
“But Blue Hui is considerate and smart, which is what a lady from a big family supposed to be. Red Kuo is just derived from the demonic spirit in the demon sword.”
“You know nothing! Blue Kui is too gentle and weak, which is why she’s always in danger!”
“I just like Blue Kui! What can you do about it?”
“Hey! You old man!” Elder Yu put his bottle of Coke on the desk heavily!
“…”
The people nearby looked at them with dark expressions. “…”
“Ahem! I won’t argue with you. Let’s… watch the livestream.” Instantly, they put on their serious faces in embarrassment. “What a shame!”
This part of the story was told by an animation which showed the memories in their previous lives.
The brother and sister relied on each other, but the king of the Country of Jiang was severely ill, and the neighboring country invaded them.
Long Yang, who was Jing Tian in his previous life, shouldered the burden. He helped his father manage the country during the day and practiced sword techniques during the night.
However, he couldn’t change the fate of the country alone. When the Capital of Jiang was under siege, Long Yang broke the rule set by his ancestors and opened the scripture of the demon sword. He recruited alchemists and Daoists to make the demon sword, hoping that he could break the siege with the power of the demon sword. In the end, the demon sword wasn’t finished due to the lack of a virgin girl’s blood since the king of Jiang didn’t want to sacrifice other people’s lives for it. Before the sword was made, the Capital City was broken and conquered.
Watching Long Yang fighting to the death in the battle to protect his country, his sister, Long Kui, jumped into the sword furnace, leaving her soul in the demon sword. Many people had their hearts in their throats even though some of them had never played the game before.
Then, they watched the previous lives of Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan who had planned three reincarnations in order to live happily-ever-after, but at the end of the reincarnations, they were still defeated by fate.
In fact, compared with the tragedy in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 1, the story of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 was happier and not as irreparable tragic.
For the cultivators who had lived over 100 years in the real world, they put rationality over sensibilities, but it didn’t stop them from having desires and wishing for things they couldn’t get.
It didn’t matter if these things were real or not, as long as people had faith in them and believed in them, they were real in the people’s minds.
Compared with the story, the powerful techniques such as Sword God, Demonic Flame Space-Flashing Strike, Nation-Destroying Silver Bullet Wave, and Jing Tian’s horrifying close-range sword techniques became secondary.
The story felt like a top-quality tea where the taste lingered with people long after they drank it.
Tang Yu had planned to come into the shop and lift his low spirits with something new, but the result was that he got even more depressed.
Each reincarnation would end. First was the story of Zi Xuan and Xu Changqing, and then the story of Long Kui, Xuan Jian, and Jing Tian.
More people entered Yuanyang City Shop on the next day, let alone the other two shops.
“Brother Xu? How come you’re here?”
“Brother Lei?”
“Don’t call me Brother Xu. I’ve joined the Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild, and Vice President Xiaoyue ordered me to come here to greet the Guild President!”
“Ugh…” Lei Ge’s face twitched. “Me too…”
“Ugh… Aren’t they the weak cultivators defeated by Xiaoyue…?” Li Xin’er who had watched the video in the group chat in QQ looked at them curiously.
“How come they are here?”
Jiang Xiaoyue looked proud of herself.
At this moment, the audience almost cried when they saw that Long Kui jumped into the sword furnace once again before the battle with the Evil Sword Immortal.
[Scummy shop owner!]
[Do you know how to play it or not?!]
[Return my Long Kui!]
[He couldn’t even defeat the Evil Sword Immortal. The scummy shop owner is useless!]
Bullet comments flooded the screen.
Then…
With red eyes, Mu Qing said, “This shop owner sucks at the game! I’m furious! I’ll show him how to play it properly!”
She had been hesitant, but now she walked to the counter with clenched teeth. “Activate the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 for me.”
She slammed hundreds of crystals on the table.
“Activate it for me as well!”
“Me too!”
The grand cultivators who had cultivated hundreds of years could still hold themselves in check, but the young people couldn’t bear it anymore and swarmed to the counter.
“With my excellent talent, I promise that no one has to jump into the sword furnace as a sacrifice if I play the game!”
“Activate it for me too.” With a dark expression, Yue Bai also tossed a bag of crystals on the counter.
Without a word, she went to play the game.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fang went to practice sword techniques after achieving the results he wanted.
Different from the Legend of Sword and Fairy 1, the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 had the possibility of a perfect ending, and the condition for this perfect ending was defeating Demon Lord Chong Lou in the New Immortal World. After that, Demon Lord Chong Lou would resurrect one person.
However, it was nearly impossible to defeat Chong Lou even if the players used Jing Tian’s body in the game.
