2020
The COVID-19 pandemic that occurred in my previous life has not happened in this life, but Yanxi Pharmaceuticals has already developed related treatment drugs.
2025
With the global economy in a slump, China has also been affected, and the real estate industry has suffered a severe downturn. Huayan has partnered with the government to demolish old residential areas and rebuild them on the original sites, thereby improving people's living conditions.
The dispute between Country R and its neighboring countries has lasted for nearly four years. There have also been frictions between some countries over territorial and border issues. Hu Zhi'ang exported a large number of combat weapons from the military factory in Country A.
Although there was money to be made, seeing the innocent people who were displaced, Hua Yan told Hu Zhiang to use all the money to help those who had lost their homes due to the conflict.
In reality, international disputes are political games, not situations that one person can reverse. Hua Yan also attempted to leverage the influence of Jonathan, the former President of the Senate and current President of Country A, and Powell, the former Secretary of Defense, to mitigate the negative impact of the disputes. While this had some effect, it was limited.
The Romanov family, Golitsyn family, Putrakov family, Vononov family, Yusupov family, Alekperov family, and Mikhelson family in R country, who have formal cooperation with Huayan, have all used their cooperative relationships to influence disputes in order to achieve the goal of ending the disputes.
Even the R country's criminal organization, Cons, had its interests ceded by Hua Yan at one point, allowing Cons to influence the course of the dispute.
The Romanov family played an important role in the politics, economy, culture, and society of R country.
The Golitzen family is a prominent family in R country and holds an important position in politics.
The Putrakov family is one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the history of R country, and some of their buildings are considered masterpieces of urban architecture in R country.
The Vononov family is one of the wealthiest families in R country, primarily engaged in oil and natural gas extraction.
The Yusupov family is one of the wealthiest families in R country, with wealth exceeding that of the Tsarist Russian royal family. Their aesthetic sense is as noble as their social status, and they enjoy a high level of social standing and influence.
The Alekperov family owns a private oil company in R country and wields significant influence in the energy sector and the economic world.
The Mikhelson family is the largest independent natural gas producer in R country and holds a 57.5% stake in a petrochemical company.
Hua Yan has been cooperating with these families for nearly thirty years, so when she made a request, they all responded to it to varying degrees.
Hua Yan also used the political forces she supported in other countries around the world to stop the dispute from continuing, and the dispute was finally declared over on February 26, 2026.
No one knows how much Hua Yan sacrificed to end this conflict; all they know is that the whole world is working hard to stop it.
Hua Yan didn't care; her goal was never fame. What drove her to dedicate herself to the world was always the suffering masses. She disliked politics, but she had no choice but to deal with it—a helpless situation born of necessity.
2027
With Hua Yan's support, Yanxi Real Estate vigorously demolished old buildings and constructed new ones in Huaxia, finally turning around the real estate market.
2033 January 12
The remnant soul of the ancestor Guiguzi, who had been asleep for fifty years, finally awoke. Upon seeing Huayan, who possessed a second indestructible body, he was filled with emotion.
Back then, it was because of his attempt to forge an indestructible body that Guiguzi tragically perished, leaving only a wisp of his soul in the ring.
Seeing that Hua Yan had already mastered the Indestructible Body to the second stage, he felt he should step aside. Although it was only the second stage, a far cry from the tenth stage of perfection, she was already the first person in history to achieve this.
It is said that those who possess an indestructible body eventually ascend to the ranks of immortals, where they hold a lofty position. Nuwa possessed a ten-segment indestructible body, Fuxi a nine-segment, Shennong an eight-segment, Huangdi and Zhuanxu a seven-segment, Diku a six-segment, and Yao and Shun a five-segment.
Guiguzi also dreamed of becoming a celestial being, but he failed to cultivate an indestructible body and could only be a low-level deity, unable to become a high-level immortal.
Looking at Hua Yan's current achievements, she is definitely superior to him and has the potential to become a high-level immortal. She can be considered to have surpassed her master. Guiguzi felt relieved.
Hua Yan had no idea that the ancestor had thought so much after seeing her. Her ability to cultivate the indestructible body was entirely by chance, but it was indeed through her persistent efforts that she had advanced to the second stage.
She never imagined that this indestructible body was related to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Haha! If Hua Yan knew, she would definitely think it was nonsense. Although she was reborn, she never thought there were any real gods. So-called gods are just a kind of yearning for superpowers that people conjure up when they are powerless.
She had no delusions about becoming a deity, so when Qiu Bao forbade her from killing evil people, saying it would affect her future path to immortality, she was very resistant.
Hua Yan is a person who is quick to repay kindness and avenge wrongs, but she endured it so as not to violate the ancestor's instructions.
Qiu Bao has grown from a child into a handsome, venerable man, diligently protecting Hua Yan and helping her fulfill the mission entrusted to her by the ancestor.
"Little guy, you've grown up too. You've been guarding this remnant soul of mine for over two thousand years. You must be tired of it by now!"
Seeing Jiu'er now, I can safely take back this remnant soul, but your mission must continue.
If Jiu'er's achievements reach the level of Emperor Shun, you too can ascend to the ranks of immortals. At that time, you must carefully cultivate a successor.
"Ancestor, will I ever see you again?"
Qiu Bao sensed that Guiguzi's remnant soul was about to return to its place. If Hua Yan's achievements did not reach the level of Emperor Shun, he would never see his ancestor again.
"Yes, I believe in Jiu'er, she will definitely do it."
Guiguzi had a blind confidence in Hua Yan.
Haha! Even Hua Yan herself doesn't have that confidence, so how did Guiguzi manage it? Besides, how could he be so certain that Hua Yan would be willing to become some kind of damned immortal?
Hua Yan's dream is to be with the person she loves for all eternity; she doesn't care about anything else.
Oh my god! If the old ancestor knew that Hua Yan was love-struck, he'd probably be furious.
Qiu Bao also thought highly of Hua Yan, because in all these years, no valley master had had such opportunities and good fortune as Hua Yan. But he understood Hua Yan better; she was not someone who craved power or status, nor did she care about leaving a name for posterity.
"Jiu'er, my mission is over. You must continue my mission and ensure the peace and stability of the world and all living beings."
Guiguzi began to explain Huayan's affairs after her death.
"Ancestor, you've finally woken up. I don't know what your mission is. I'm only responsible for fulfilling my mission in this life. Don't worry about anything else."
Hua Yan felt she couldn't let the ancestor trick her anymore. In this life, she had been reborn with good intentions, but instead, she was burdened with the heavy responsibility of the world and all living beings. She didn't want to suffer any more.
"Hehe! You have no choice in this matter. You've cultivated an indestructible body, so you have no other option!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light from Guiguzi's remnant soul shot directly into Hua Yan's mind with lightning speed.
This beam of light was none other than a spell: "The soul is immortal, shouldering the world and all living beings."
This incantation was originally implanted into Guiguzi's mind by a soul. It has been carried for two thousand years, and today it has finally found a successor.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Guiguzi laughed heartily, finally free from debt.
In fact, he woke up ten years ago. This was because Hua Yan had the opportunity to cultivate an indestructible body, which allowed him to absorb the enormous energy between heaven and earth.
Seeing Hua Yan's achievements, he began to feel restless and kept accumulating strength, wanting to hand over his heavy responsibility to this first person in history.
If it weren't for his cunning and shrewdness, he might not have been able to ambush Hua Yan. As Hua Yan's strength increased, he would have had no chance to relieve himself of his burden.
He was overjoyed, extremely overjoyed, for he had hit the bullseye on the first try.
"You old man, why did you attack me when I wasn't looking?"
Hua Yan had already sensed the magical spell.
"There's nothing I can do. You're now more powerful than me. If I don't catch you off guard, I have no hope of escaping this sea of suffering."
Guiguzi spoke the truth.
"Old man, you're too cunning. You've endured over two thousand years of suffering, you know the hardships involved, so why would you still try to harm me?"
Hua Yan knew she was powerless to change anything, so she could only vent her frustrations.
"Jiu'er, you've worked hard. The future of the world is in your hands. I'll be waiting for you over there."
Guiguzi's eyes were filled with expectations for Huayan.
"Don't wait for me. I'm not going where you're going. It's pointless. Once I find a successor, I'll escape this annoying world and live in my paradise. I'll read the books I want, listen to the music I like, cook for my lover in my spare time, raise a dog that lives as long as I do, and then live a carefree life until I die."
This is the life Hua Yan longs for; she wonders if it will ever come true.
"Haha! Okay! Well, you'll have to be as lucky as me and find a successor before we talk about anything else."
Guiguzi reached out and affectionately patted Huayan's head before leaving without a trace of regret.
Feeling lost and dejected, these four words perfectly describe Hua Yan's current mood. Guiguzi taught her a wealth of skills, but also bestowed upon her a set of restrictive rules. There was gratitude, disdain, and reluctance.
She didn't know how long she had been in the space until she heard Taiji calling her for dinner. Only then did she realize that she might never have the chance to see her ancestor again.
"Baby, you'll always be by my side, right? You won't be like that old man, just leaving whenever you want, will you?"
Hua Yan suddenly felt afraid of losing it, and lost her previous carefree attitude.
"Yes! Jiu'er, as long as you live well, I will not leave you."
What Qiu Bao didn't say was that even if you die, I might follow you, because there's a precedent for that.
Hearing this, Hua Yan was comforted, nodded, and left Plum Blossom Valley.
"Mom, what's wrong? You seem a little down?"
Hua Jingcheng was observant and noticed that something was wrong with Hua Yan.
Now, Hua Yan's children have taken over Yanxi Group and Yaojiu Group. Miao Xianxing saw that Hua Yan had no interest in managing them, so he started to train her three children.
The children of the Boy Scouts back then also followed in their fathers' and mothers' footsteps, joining the group and taking over the same jobs as their parents.
Hu Zhiang favored Hua Jingcheng and adopted him as his godson from birth. Perhaps it was because the boy had a more composed personality and the demeanor of Hua Yan, or perhaps it was because of his surname Hua. In any case, Hu Zhiang focused on cultivating Hua Jingcheng and gradually handed over the empire that he, An Xin, and Liu Liang had built.
Miao Xianxing gradually handed over his work to Tai Yunhe and Tai Huaqiu. He was getting on in years, and although he had Hua Yan's nourishing pills, his age meant he couldn't match the energy of younger people. His child with Li Juan became Tai Yunhe's capable assistant.
Perhaps due to the effective education provided by their parents, after Hua Jingxing's generation retired from the stage, their descendants devoted themselves to supporting Hua Yan, and their descendants' descendants supported Hua Yan's children. No one overstepped their bounds, because Hua Yan's children were equally outstanding, making them worthy of following.
