I Reborn on the Night I Divorced the Sword Deity, My Childhood Friend

Shen Junyu was reborn, returning to a time one hundred years in the past.

A century ago, Shen Junyu blocked a fatal sword strike from a demonic cultivator to save his younger brother, Shen Siyuan. As a result, his Golden Core was shattered and his cultivation was completely lost. His fiancé, Yuan Muzhou, ignored all opposition to form a Life-Binding Pact with him, sharing their lifespans. This act was celebrated as a beautiful legend at the time.

However, Yuan Muzhou eventually ascended to the position of Sword Deity, and Shen Siyuan became a Sect Master. The two were often seen together, appearing to everyone as a perfect, immortal couple. Meanwhile, the crippled Shen Junyu became an eyesore to everyone.

Even though he had silently endured endless pain and suffered countless cold glances for a hundred years, he was eventually branded an ungrateful “white-eyed wolf.” People claimed he was hindering the Sword Deity’s ascension and preventing true lovers from being together. No one remembered that he was the partner Yuan Muzhou had originally insisted on marrying. Shen Siyuan also mocked him constantly, hinting that a useless person was unworthy of the position of the Sword Deity’s spouse.

Later, their biological parents pressured Shen Junyu to agree to a divorce so that he could give his position to Shen Siyuan. From beginning to end, Yuan Muzhou never said a word. He simply used an increasingly cold attitude to tell Shen Junyu that they would not have a happy ending.

Finally, one day, Shen Junyu personally asked Yuan Muzhou, “Muzhou, do you want a divorce?”

Yuan Muzhou replied, “I promised to take care of you for a lifetime. Do not overthink things.”

Shen Junyu asked, “Then, are you willing to swear that you will never marry anyone else but me in this life?”

His only answer was a long silence. Shen Junyu smiled faintly and said, “I understand.”

It turned out that Yuan Muzhou’s “lifetime” only referred to Shen Junyu’s natural lifespan, not his own devotion. That night, Shen Junyu left behind a letter of divorce. Carrying the sword he had loved most a hundred years ago, he leapt off the Bottomless Cliff.

This time, the reborn Shen Junyu did not block the sword for Shen Siyuan. When he saw Yuan Muzhou holding Shen Siyuan, staring at him with eyes full of pain and reproach, he knew that Yuan Muzhou had also been reborn.

However, Shen Junyu merely gave them an indifferent glance and turned to leave. At the bottom of the cliff, he rescued a demonic cultivator who was being hunted by a crowd. He wiped the blood from the man’s face and asked, “How does one become a demonic cultivator? Can you teach me?”

Wen Shuo, one of the eight Demon Lords of the Arctic Demonic Realm, encountered something very interesting. A small avatar he had sent into a secret realm was rescued by a beautiful human cultivator. The two began living a pleasant life together.

One day, the human brought the small avatar to the Arctic Demonic Realm and analyzed the situation seriously. He said, “If we want to gain a foothold among the demons, we should join the Nine Abyss Demon Lord, Wen Shuo. Although he is suspicious and treacherous, his talent and potential are immense. He might even become the Demon Sovereign in the future.”

Wen Shuo thought to himself: Is that so? Why did I not know that?
