Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 147 Trials and Tribulations - I Am the Protagonist

"Don't worry, baby, I'll be quick!"

With his sword in hand, Gu Liangzong's aura surged, becoming unstoppable.

"Hmph!" Ju An's heart pounded wildly. He forced down this strange feeling, stopped the water dragon's attack, and turned to face Gu Liangzong: "Don't think that just because I have the Gu Liang Sword I will be afraid of you. I am no longer the same as before. Gu Liangzong, you can't stop me!"

He took a few deep breaths, his eyes already slightly red: "If it weren't for... if it weren't for the kindness you've shown me, I wouldn't be wasting my breath here with you. You'd better get out of here right now, or I'll beat you up too!"

"Enough with the nonsense!" Gu Liangzong frowned slightly at Ju An's seemingly provocative words and said calmly, "If you want to fight, then fight. I'm in a hurry."

"You! You don't know what's good for you!"

In a fit of rage, Ju An waved his hand, and the water dragon behind him abandoned Jiang Huaigu and turned to attack Gu Liangzong.

Jiang Huaigu, with his head bowed, had eyes that turned a blood-red color when no one was watching. Strange black gas seemed to emanate from his body. Yun Leshi was momentarily confused, thinking he was hallucinating. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Huaigu disappeared. Just as he was about to call Jiang Huaigu away, the water dragon that Jiang Huaigu controlled, which only knew how to run away, turned around and pounced on Gu Liangzong.

"Hey? Big brother, what are you doing?"

Yun Le was a little confused and asked the question blankly.

Jiang Huaigu kept his head down and did not answer.

Seeing the two water dragons rushing towards him, Gu Liangzong sneered, inwardly furious at these three stupid dragons. He bent his knees and pushed off the ground, leaping into the air. A powerful current suddenly appeared beneath his feet, steadily supporting his entire body.

For some reason, time seemed to slow down suddenly. The onlookers, the injured martial artists and civilians, and Ju An and Jiang Huaigu, who were already in the middle of the battle, could all clearly feel that the two water dragons that were moving rapidly in their field of vision were as if they were stuck in glue, and every movement looked slow and difficult.

Gu Liangzong also slowed down. Under everyone's gaze, Gu Liangzong slowly raised the Gu Liang sword in his hand, his expression calm and indifferent. After raising it above his head, the Gu Liang sword slowly fell down, and the red light emanating from the tip of the sword could be faintly seen.

"boom--"

"Chong-"

The crisp sound of a sword ringing out was mixed with the sound of an explosion. Suddenly, everyone's vision returned to normal. The last thing they saw was the sword light shooting out from the tip of the Gu Liang Sword, which, with unparalleled force, crashed into the two water dragons.

Then came the explosion, a massive explosion. There was no fire, only countless water droplets carrying immense force, scattering in all directions. The energy from the explosion even emptied the air from the surrounding area, making it difficult for everyone to breathe, and the pressure on their bodies increased.

"Wow!" Junran stared blankly at the scene, as if his worldview had been severely shaken: "This is too amazing!"

With just one move, he controlled time, cleaved space, and finally split two water dragons apart. That's incredible!

“Only now can one truly deserve the title of god!” Junran sighed helplessly. “Suddenly, I feel so insignificant…”

"You... How is this possible? How is this possible!!!" Ju An felt the pain emanating from his body, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You're not that strong, you absolutely couldn't be that strong, the Gu Liang Sword doesn't have such power either, my Water Dragon is so powerful, how could I possibly lose, you must not be from the Gu Liang Sect, yes! That's it, that's it! You're not from the Gu Liang Sect, are you like me? Did you transmigrate? Did you?"

"Did you also have a miraculous encounter? Why are you all so lucky? Why can't I... I don't have such luck! God, if you let me travel through time, why are you being so unfair to me!"

By the end, Ju An was breathing heavily, his eyes completely red.

"Unfair? Heaven has never been fair. After living for so long, don't you understand yet?" Gu Liangzong carefully stroked the Gu Liang sword in his hand, his gaze not falling on Ju An. But Ju An knew that he was talking to him: "Survival of the fittest. Whether you transmigrate or not, the so-called way of survival is nothing more than competition. If you can't compete with others, you will complain about heaven and others and give up on yourself. You will only fall into this vicious cycle and never be able to compete with others. Whether heaven is fair or unfair does not depend on heaven's choice, but on—yourself."

"Hahahaha—hahahaha—"

Upon hearing these words, Ju An suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"It depends on oneself? That sounds noble, but there are always some people in this world who are born to be the protagonist! All of life's misfortunes become stepping stones for them, all the great opportunities are theirs, and all the women are theirs. Others would have to risk their lives to obtain even one of those opportunities, but they can easily obtain them without paying any price. They rise straight up without any struggle; everything is placed before them by fate, and they can take whatever they want. Isn't that unfair?!"

"Are you talking about... Jiang Huaigu?"

“Yes, it’s him.” Since he had already lost, he wasn’t afraid of death anymore, so Ju’an simply said everything: “He is—the protagonist destined by fate.”

"I don't know why I time-traveled, but I'm so glad I was able to. I was bullied by a lot of people when I was little. That time, I felt like I was going to die, but I didn't. I time-traveled and came here from a distant world."

"Lian Tong saved me; she's my savior. I fell in love with her, and she loved me too, but... I'm not the main character!!!"

"I should have known. She's the owner of the Fairy Jade Pavilion, and a stunningly beautiful woman. Someone like that can only be the protagonist's woman." Ju An paused for a long time, his voice choked with sobs, tears streaming down his face. "But I'm not the protagonist. She fell in love with a cannon fodder character like me, destined for a bad ending. The protagonist discovered the woman he loved had another man, so he killed her, even though she hadn't done anything!!!"

"She was so kind, so young, and she died with her eyes wide open in disbelief..."

"I died with her, and the moment I opened and closed my eyes, I was back to when I first came into this world... I think God is looking out for me, but why is it still like this?! I should have realized long ago that he is the protagonist, the whole world revolves around him, how could I possibly compete with him..."

His voice gradually lowered, and he seemed to be in utter despair.

"But... I'm not convinced... Hahahaha—"
