"Xiuying? Wen Xiuying! Please wake up!"

Two figures emerged in the distance of Holy Land Domain, both on the ground. One was sitting while holding the other who was lying down. Lai Daiyu sobbed harshly as she shook the shoulders of Wen Xiuying on her arms whose not conscious. Cold and hardly breathing, with blood spilling out from her side. Lai Daiyu held her tightly and cried out with all her heart in grief. 

If Wen Xiuying dies in this lifetime, Lai Daiyu will follow her til the depths of hell or even in different lifetimes and reincarnations. This is their fifth lifetime and yet, everytime she gets closer to Wen Xiuying and change her fate, Lai Daiyu always fail.

The Holy Land Domain was not like this before. Stars were aligned in proper order, air was not polluted by dusts and ashes. The energy that emitted was pure and divine, blessed by gods and goddesses. But now, it was the end of the world. It's just an empty spacious void, full of nothingness and evil.

"Lai Daiyu! Enough of this! Have you not realized? You can't do anything to save her. Now come and join me in restarting this world! We'll be powerful if we join forces."

Qian Meng appeared in her peripherals. Just like a ferocious tiger, he wasn't going to let go of his prey. Now that Lai Daiyu was within his reach, he will do anything in his power to use Lai Daiyu as a catalyst in rebuilding his own world as he see fits. Furthermore, Qian Meng was also the reason why the world is now in ruins.

"You monster! I will not let you get ahead of me!"

Lai Daiyu glared at him.

With the mana left from her system, she used it all to create a dark matter. She and Wen Xiuying was now slowly devoured by darkness. Lai Daiyu's beautiful stoic face was just peaking right through from the blinds of darkness of dome. She held her lover close and murmured something in Wen Xiuying's ear.

"Don't worry, I'll see you again in our next life. Just wait for me, my love."

"No, you won't dare!"

Qian Meng tried to stop Lai Daiyu from disappearing with his Vanquisher Sword, but he was too late as they were dissolved into red sparks.

Wen Xiuying and Lai Daiyu had met again, but Wen Xiuying didn't remember her past life. On the other hand, Lai Daiyu's past memories remained. It must be the gods and goddesses work that she was able to meet Wen Xiuying again. She thanked them sincerely that this might be the one where they will be together again.

Although, Wen Xiuying goes by a new name called, Ren Lijuan. Just as what her name tells, she was truly beautiful and soft, at the same time selfless.

Lai Daiyu retained her name as no one would give her new ones when in this lifetime, she's an orphan. Most kids call her insulting names, but it didn't matter as long as she can see her lover again.

It seems to be the world was in the Medieval Era where aristocracy existed, and significantly, people were spiritual and believed in Catholicism. Furthermore, the fashion was different. Women wore fine dresses, feathered hats, beads and jewelries while men wore long jackets, leather belts and boots, brooches. That is if you are rich enough to aquire such luxurious materials to be able to have it tailored in the way you want to. As for the commoners, they wore simple and plain garments without any luxurious materials embedded. Tunics were widely worn by commoners and rarely by nobles.

Wen Xiuying was born in the House of Ren. And in this lifetime, she was destined to be with someone else. Ever since she was a child, Wen Xiuying was already engaged to another ducal family.

Lai Daiyu understood that, but that didn't stop her from pursuing Wen Xiuying. They both fell in love, meeting up secretly in their secret place...until time is up. The relationship remained secret to everyone. Just them who knew. Unfortunately, Wen Xiuying will be married in three days. That left Lai Daiyu heartbroken to the point she asked Wen Xiuying to elope with her.

"Let's run away from here and live far from our duties, miss."

"I-I can't...I'm sorry. I love you, Lai Daiyu, but my family comes first."

A tear left from Lai Daiyu's eyes. She failed again. She was so close in being with her, yet Wen Xiuying was slipping again.

The wedding happened and Lai Daiyu was not there to witness it because she didn't want to experience more heartache.

Until in the last moment, Wen Xiuying was killed by the assassins together with those who were present in the wedding.

Lai Daiyu was reborn again. As the first light came, her peripherals blurred, yet few seconds later, it became clear. Her view was not what she expected. Chaos streamed all of the place. Echoes of cries and fear from the civilians fleeing from their homes, yet was unable to be as they were burned mercilessly.

"What is that...?"

She looked up to the dark sky enveloped by smoke and ashes. She squinted her eyes and saw a figure. Lai Daiyu was yet to discern what creature it was until she finally see it.

"What in the...?"

A dragon?!

"Xiao Rong! Stop daydreaming and get out of there! We need your assistance in the Southern Gate!"

Someone called out, a soldier in heavy armor appeared before her. Lai Daiyu had no idea what was going on, but apparently she is now Xiao Rong and base from her outfit, she's a soldier.

Lai Daiyu equipped her sword and helmet properly and followed the soldier. Houses turned into nothing. People were injured or dead. Bodies all over the place. It didn't matter if you're a commoner or a noble. Death is just right next to you.

"Shit! This way!"

A big debris just fell over from the two-storey building. It crashed almost to them, fortunately, the soldier noticed it right away.

"Xiao Rong, my dear gullible friend. If I ever die here, can you take my body and cremate them then spread my ashes right on top of Mt. Hak-"

From that instant, the soldier, who might be her friend in this time, died as a big rock fell over him, hitting his head.

"?!"

Lai Daiyu's fingers trembled. She looked up and it was the same dragon as before.

"Somebody help me. It hurts!"

A voice echoed from her ears.

"Please, I can't take it anymore!"

Again.

Lai Daiyu focused on the voice and realized it was Wen Xiuying.

Where is she, thought Lai Daiyu.

The voice trembled as she sobbed harshly. It grew louder as Lai Daiyu walked straight toward the dragon that's on the ground. It's in 43 feet high and 54 feet wider. A big dragon wrecking havoc in the kingdom, of course people would be scared while soldiers would be hostile toward it.

Lai Daiyu was closer than anyone, not even the kingdom's hero.

She stepped cautiously towards the dragon.

"I...am not an enemy. I am...a friend. I can help you. Please just listen to me."

Just as the dragon or Wen Xiuying lowered her guard, a divine arrow just pierced right through her neck.

The dragon roared and struggled then its tail just wiped the area while stumbling down.

"No!!"

Lai Daiyu protected her face with her arms as the strong gush of wind thrustee on her way. Objects flew in her direction and a small pointed glass shard just glazed over her cheeks.

"Arghh!"

The dragon roared again as the Hero's party appeared.

"Xiao Rong, good job lowering its guard!", said the Elven golden-haired girl who shot the arrow earlier.

No, that is not what I intended to do!

Unfortunately, the dragon or Wen Xiuying died again.

Lai Daiyu staggered as she tried to stand up, walking towards Wen Xiuying.

"Damn Hero's Party, you think you've won? I thought you guys are protector of people in need, but I was mistaken."

"What are you talking about?!" A tall buff looking man stopped her from getting near them but Lai Daiyu harshly shoved him away easily.

How is she so strong?!, thought the buff man.

Lai Daiyu kneeled before the dragon and held her head closely to her chest.

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you. You're in pain, you just want it to go away, yet..."

"...aiyu.."

"Xiu...ying? Xiuying!"

"Thank...you"

"N-no, please!"

Just as Wen Xiuying drew her last breath, the dragon's body faded and turned into the most beautiful looking woman in the whole world. She glowed until her body dissolves into small ball of lights.

Everyone gasped from what they saw.

"You! You'll pay for this!"

Lai Daiyu's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Revenge.

Just one word, enough to trigger Lai Daiyu.

Knots of dark energy appeared before her, it got bigger and bigger then devoured everyone into pieces. It destroyed what it sees. Sucking the life force out of you and just bones were left.

Lai Daiyu laughed and cried hysterically. All she wanted was to be with her. Yet fate had another plans, only to destroy their relationship.

The world had ended. Wen Xiuying died, Lai Daiyu suicide and everyone who lived died as the darkness engulfed them.
