Failed My Tribulation, Now My Ex-Husband and I Are Fighting for First Place in the Interstellar World

Wen Bieyun and her cultivation partner, Shen Yan, were publicly recognized throughout the cultivation world as a match made in heaven. Both were once-in-a-millennium prodigies, and Miss Wen had even managed to break through the shackles of the Heartless Dao and form a Daoist Partner Contract upon the Heavenly Mandate Stone.

At their Daoist Partnership Ceremony, she smiled sweetly. “For a lifetime, until our hair turns white.”

Shen Yan gazed at her tenderly and solemnly promised, “Never part, forever faithful.”

They treated each other with respect and affection, becoming the celebrated golden couple of the cultivation world.

Yet on the day they were to undergo tribulation and ascend, breaking through delusion under the Heartless Dao required severing all emotions and attachments. After Wen Bieyun and Shen Yan finished their farewell wine, she mercilessly plunged her sword through the chest of the man she had always lovingly called “Sweetie.”

“I’m sorry.” Wen Bieyun held Shen Yan as he collapsed, crying her heart out. Although all the tenderness and affection she had shown him in the past had been an act, at that moment her chest still ached terribly. “I hope you have a pleasant reincarnation in your next life. Don’t believe that nonsense about the Heartless Dao developing feelings, Sweetie.”

As she cried, she suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood. She watched helplessly as the Daoist partner in her arms gave a weak smile and sighed. “I’m sorry. I poisoned you. Actually, I’m also cultivating the Heartless Dao, Baby.”

Before Wen Bieyun could even get angry, the tribulation lightning came crashing down and blasted the two deceivers into oblivion.

When Wen Bieyun opened her eyes again, she discovered that she had arrived in an interstellar world. Humanity had begun using increasingly advanced weapons, while she stood completely out of place with nothing but a broken sword in her hand.

After sighing, Wen Bieyun dug a hole and buried the broken sword. Just as she was preparing to apply to an academy and start over, she accidentally heard news about her ex-husband.

That guy had awakened five years before her and had already become the top prodigy of Kaixiu Academy, leading the academy to victory in numerous championships.

After learning the truth, Wen Bieyun suffered for exactly three minutes before choosing, without looking back, Galaxy Academy—the mortal enemy of Shen Yan’s academy. Fueled by sheer determination, she spent two years rising to fame and becoming renowned throughout the entire world.

Interstellar news had recently exploded with excitement. With the Abyss Tournament approaching, everyone was placing their bets and speculating about who would come out on top when Galaxy’s rising star Wen Bieyun faced Kaixiu’s genius Shen Yan.

“I’m betting on Goddess Yun. No joke. This girl has been personally certified by a Federation executive as the future number one of the interstellar world. Shen Yan took five years to become famous, while she only needed two.”

“Tsk. Isn’t that just because she’s gotten used to being arrogant and making too much of a show? Too much steel breaks easily. I think she’s nowhere near as good as God Yan. He was personally certified by the Federation’s strongest general as the number one, too, and he’s modest and low-key.”

“Hey, no matter how you look at it, these two have become absolute archrivals, right? I bet the sparks between two geniuses will be even more intense. Who knows, maybe they’ll start fighting before the competition even begins.”

The two sides continued arguing, but they all agreed on one thing: the day these two faced each other would surely be filled with sparks, lightning, and enough tension to set off an explosion.

What nobody expected was that before they even entered the arena, during the truth serum examination, the two accidentally said something that left the entire interstellar population utterly stunned.

As usual, the referee asked an ordinary question: “What do you usually call your opponent?”

Shen Yan closed his eyes. “Baby.”

Wen Bieyun’s heart turned to ashes, but she couldn’t control her mouth. “Sweetie.”

The entire Interstellar Network exploded.
