Dong Hua slowly climbed the stairs and arrived at the site. The Rock of Three Incarnations proudly stood tall as to challenge him to look for Feng Jiu's name again. He contemplated the rock for a while before deciding to act. With a wave of his hand Dong Hua summoned her name and to his surprise it read: .

His eyes widen. "How can this be possible?" He loudly thought. Someone behind him called him out.

"Dong Hua Dijun..."

He slowly turned around "You?"

"We meet again Dijun." Golden Immortal Da Lou surprised him.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to show you why your name appeared on The Rock of Incarnations."

"This can't be real."

"Oh, but it is."

"How?"

"To answer your question, let me show you instead." A portal was opened in front of them with past scenes of Feng Jiu's judgement trial.

"She acted against our protocol when she decided to marry Dong Hua Dijun!!! She needs to face the consequences for her actions. Look at all the havoc this marriage has caused. A simple defiant act rippled chaos and destruction to innocent lives. Are we going to turn a blind eye and ignore the facts now?" Fate objected.

"Why are you so eager to punish her? Do you hate her that much?" Justice asked Fate.

"I don't hate her, is just her perseverance and defiance that I find unacceptable." Fate responded.

"Golden Immortal Da Lou, welcome, please come in." High Supreme Deity told her.

"As you all are aware I usually don't meddle on others affairs unless a grave injustice has been committed. I've followed Xiao Feng Huang steps closely and I believe that my words will help you guide your decision." Golden Immortal Da Lou said.

"Please enlighten us as to what 'grave injustice' against Feng Jiu you are referring to." High Supreme Deity proceeded.

"As ancient immortals were are bound to take ownership of our actions, otherwise we will feel detached from them and never be fully invested. Perseverance, active optimism, decisiveness, all require the sense that your actions emanate from oneself and no one else. It is natural to displace responsibility, especially when things get tough. In these cases, we should stave off our inclinations and opt for self-reflection. Failure and adversity are fertile conditions for self-reflection. This is impossible if you do not feel personally responsible for your own actions. You won't be prompted to self-reflect and grow. It takes great courage, but it should be done, especially when acting presumptuously as an executioner in the name of so-called justice."

"Are you implying that one of us took matters in their own hands?" High Supreme Deity asked Da Lou.

"Precisely. Success is contingent upon personal attributes, but it is also contingent upon others. Without the trust of others, we are less likely to build the interpersonal support vital to success. Trust is engendered by honesty, integrity, fidelity, and ethical behavior. These are parts that make up one's moral compass. The moral compass tends to remove risk from business and personal relationships and confer predictability, which grants safety and fosters trustworthiness. If the situation is right, the trust and support of others can be crucial to success because life will present opportunities that are not able to tackled alone. This is especially true because so many outcomes and opportunities are dependent on the decisions of others, who, most of the time, have no stake in our achievements. The amazing thing about having a clear moral compass is that it aids decision-making and concurrently gains greater degrees of responsibility and confidence from the people around you. These two factors perpetuate further success. Success begets success. When I speak of persistence, therefore, I see it as not only a state of mind but a mental, emotional, and moral attitude in the face of a challenge. This is key because we sometimes need to remind ourselves of our motivations. The closer they align with our values, the easier it will be to draw courage from them. Steady persistence and relentless tenacity can look much like defiance. It is the conviction to say, "I will not give in," when opposed by people or circumstances. There is a caveat, however. Persistence and tenacity can verge on rashness and stubbornness. We must sometimes desist from our chosen ill course, despite sunken costs or effort."

"Who has chosen to do this?" The High Supreme Deity asked again.

"Someone with ill intentions that saw Feng Jiu more as a liability than an asset and took our resources dedicated to one goal and allocated them for another course. This immortal failed to recognize that success can take the form of holding back or stopping could result in self-defeat. By rejecting to hold back it forced a great injustice on an unborn child, trying to putting it to death with malicious intentions."

"Who committed such a grave thing?" Justice asked Golden Immortal Da Lou.

"The one who continues to spread doubts about Feng Jiu's character and motives in your respected minds today. This individual took the authority that it was not given to pass a sentence that it was not lawful to give. Calling herself the Hand of Heaven." Da Lou responded.

"It was you, wasn't it?" Destiny scolded Fate.

"Yes, it was me. All debts need to be paid and Dong Hua Dijun incurred on a greater one and payment has not been submitted. This matter still needs to be addressed."

"To be called the Hand of Heaven without being commissioned to do so is a grave sin. Acting against an innocent life especially when is an unborn child is a greater sin. This is surely an extreme injustice." Justice interjected.

"It might be considered an extreme injustice, but we cannot forget that Dong Hua Dijun broke an oath and by our law he needs to pay with his life. Bai Feng Jiu granted him the true essence of immortality making him untouchable. So that is why I acted against his progeny." Fate defended herself.

"Without our consent!!!" High Supreme Deity shouted in disgust.

"According with our law when an oath is broken, the punishment for the offender is a required restitution. Since Dong Hua Dijun removed his love life from the Rock of Three Incarnations his fated wife which was originally Bai Feng Jiu, was allotted to another husband. In this case Lord Weng Chan, who valiantly sacrificed himself dying in her place, which is the restitution of Dong Hua Dijun's debt full payment. Lord Weng Chan sacrifice granted him great merit in the eyes of this Council, paying a debt on behalf of another. For that I will request that you allow him to speak on his behalf." Golden Immortal Da Lou spoke.

"Call him in." Lord Weng Chan entered the high court and reverently greeted everyone present.

"Lord Weng Chan, according with our codes of morality, you have earned the great merit to go back and live a good and long prosperous life with your fated wife Bai Feng Jiu. We willfully fulfill your wish if this is what you desire." The High Supreme Deity addressed Weng Chan.

"Thank you, your Honor, it is a great privilege for me to hear your kind words. However, I lived a prosperous life and although my fated wife never loved me as I wanted to; my wish is to see her happy with her beloved. To be able to see her get her true happiness is enough for me. His Lordship Dong Hua Dijun has also earned the right to be happy with her for all of his deeds to preserve universal peace. He paid the ultimate sacrifice. He has lived an extensively long life without being able to experience love. I won't wish that upon anyone. That in my opinion weight more than his broken oath. I never wanted her to love me forcefully. Because love should be given freely, selflessly and not imposed. If you see fit to grant me a wish, my only request will be to accompany her, but not as her fated husband, but as her companion. To be next to her for a lifetime and see her finally happy is my only request. I have nothing more to add your Honor." Weng Chan finished addressing the court.

"Lord Weng Chan what an honorable request. May I ask you; how well did you get to know Bai Feng Jiu?" Justice asked him.

"I came to know her late in our lives, but what others thought of her was enough for me to see the exceptional young woman that she really is. From her family and friends, her life achievements, her kind acts towards others, proves that she deserves all the happiness in the universe. She is really one of a kind." Weng Chan smiled upon saying these words.

"And you are willing to give her away just like that?" Love asked Weng Chan this time.

"The greatest act of love is to give away your life on behalf of those that you love. I'm willing to see her happy even if is not with me. She has greatly suffered to attain her happiness. I want to gift her that. I have no regrets."

"Thank you, Lord Weng Chan, for your transparency. You may take your leave; we will reach a decision on your request." High Supreme Deity said.

"Thank you, your Honor." Weng Chan left the courtroom.

Golden Immortal Da Lou closed the portal. "This is what I want you to see Dong Hua Dijun. This is the reason your name reappeared on The Rock of Incarnations. Your debt has been paid in full on behalf of another. You still don't believe that it is real?"

Dong Hua incredibly was staring at the rock. He harshly expressed: "I didn't begged for his charity."

"Charity? Oh please Dijun, don't be so lofty. As incredible as it is for you to process; the fact that an insignificant immortal in your eyesight was willing to pay your debt, that is the reality that I want you to understand Dong Hua Dijun. Weng Chan understood Feng Jiu's feelings for you and he willingly sacrificed the chance to obtain his happiness with her to grant you yours. Love is a pure feeling that you give unselfishly to another living being. It comes with a total feeling of comfort, knowing that you haven't caused pain or suffering to anyone. Instead, you've helped bring them joy. To feel compassion for the other person. This compassion is what would lead all living beings to receive respect. Love if the raw force that inconspicuously connects us to the ones we love with continuous positive energy, so that even tangible separations between people who love each other do not reduce the intangible power of love, the greatest power known in the universe."

"So, the white lion is him?" Dong Hua inquired.

"Yes. The Heavens granted Lord Weng Chan's request to serve as Xiao Feng Huang companion for a lifetime. Is a humble approval compared to what he gave away. He forfeited his chance to be romantically involved with her. It was the only way to legally maneuver around the heavenly decree against you Dijun."

"You mean he had a chance to be with my Jiu'er?" Dong Hua annoyingly asked.

"Of course, he did. She was legitimately assigned to be his wife after you practically handed her over to him. But when Xiao Feng Huang saw that her name on the rock was tied up to Weng Chan she stubbornly fought fate just to be with you, her original fated husband. She was born for you Dijun, but you blindly pushed her away when you erased your name from the rock not thinking about the consequences she encountered. If it wasn't for Xiao Feng Huang perseverance to win your heart and Weng Chan high moral values to let her be happy, you would have lost her forever. Fate arranged their mortal trial as a way to give Weng Chan the opportunity to win her affections. However, her love for you Dijun is so pure, true and strong, that it was the bursting force that destroyed Fate ploys to separate you two. Don't be blinded by jealousy and fail to see the goodness of his intentions."

Dong Hua simply shrugged at her words. "Am I being schooled now?"

"The almighty Dong Hua Dijun ruler of the universe, who has attained oneness enlightment, has indeed forgotten some important lessons. So yes, I'm helping you remember what you forgotten. As you may know, jealousy has many faces: competitiveness, envy, resentment, insecurity and fear of exclusion. Leaning into the experience of jealousy and not trying to cover it up is the key to transforming it and creating compassion and connection. If you're not mindful, it becomes a swirling vicious circle. Jealousy is considered one of the "five poisons" together with anger, desire, pride and ignorance. They are considered poisonous because they create pain and suffering, both for ourselves and others. Have you overlooked the basic principles about mudita (sympathetic joy) now?

Let me refresh your memory then. The pleasure that comes from delighting in other people's well-being, is the cultivation of sympathetic joy is indeed a pleasure – It frees us from the suffering of our painful emotions. In addition, rejoicing in others' happiness actually creates happiness and satisfaction in ourselves. When we practice appreciation for others' happiness and success, we come to appreciate ourselves. Consequently, our jealousy can dissolve. Our sense of connection and basic aliveness is restored. You need to overcome your ego-clinging and sorrow, and start living a life of satisfaction and joy that was gifted to you.

Envy and jealousy are considered to be rooted in the belief in an autonomous and permanent self or soul. This is permanent and the separate self is an illusion. The universe is related through the fiction of the self as we become very protective and greedy about our belongings and also for getting more than what is required. Nonattachment is exactly the opposite of separation. You need two things to have attachment: the thing you're attaching to, and the person who's attaching. In nonattachment, on the other hand, there's unity. There's unity because there's nothing to attach to. If you have unified with the whole universe, there's nothing outside of you, so the notion of attachment becomes absurd. Who will attach to what? For all evil things, and all evil destiny, are rooted in greed, hate, and ignorance; and of these three things, ignorance or delusion (moha, avijja) is the chief root and the primary cause of all evil and misery in the universe. If there is no more ignorance, there will be no more greed and hatred, no more rebirth, no more suffering.

Being jealous of your wife and Weng Chang at this point is useless. Both of them have proofed that fate can be re-written if the intentions are pure and based out of love. When your return, may your mindfulness and awareness be clearer than your desire to argue about a friendship that is based in the same principles that you overlooked. If you pursue this path, it will hinder your relationship with Xiao Feng Huang not to mention with your son. It will also affect the universal peace balance. But then again is your choice. I'm only here as a guide and nothing else. Choose wisely Dong Hua Dijun." Golden Immortal Da Lou disappeared.

Dong Hua jolted back to reality. He opened his eyes and to his surprise; he was in his bed chamber at Tai Chen Palace. He smiled understanding the message. "Thank you, Golden Immortal, Da Lou for enlighten this old rock, yet again."

Feng Jiu didn't have a good night sleep; she was sad and gloomy. Her chest pains were now milder than yesterday. She went for an early morning walk to clear her mind from clutter thoughts that were clogging her mood. "Little one, let's go for a walk this morning, maybe our day will brighten up ahead" Feng Jiu padded her baby bump.
