Life as a Wish Granter

"Welcome to our wishing temple, hero Zhen. I am Lianhua. We flower nymphs must follow the rules, so any wish that deals with extending or shortening one's predestined life span are impossible. We cannot resurrect the dead, so there is no way for us to revive you. Lastly, we cannot force people to fall in love," Lianhua explained with a kind and sweet smile.

She has gotten used to working as a wish granter in heaven, but there are moments when she would think of the human man who took care of her.

"I have been at war all my life, and seeing the lives that are taken by human desires and greed makes me believe that gods do not exist. Now that I am here, I realize my mistake. My only wish is to have peace for my country so that my son may not have his life ended as early as mine. As a general of the Zhou country, I must live and die for my country, but my son is innocent. He has a future ahead of him. I want him to live in a peaceful world and enjoy life."

"I understand your feelings, hero Zhen. Please allow me a moment to check your son's predestined life span. I will grant your wish if it does not mess with another person's predestined life span," Lianhua responded gently.

A predestined life span is the number of years a person can live for. However, they can die earlier or later, depending on external forces. For example, a god may extend or shorten another person's life span, but this has never been done before. Another possible factor that may shorten one's predestined life span is their doom flags. Everyone has willpower, and this willpower will help them get past their doom flags. However, if they give up, they may die earlier. People who die from their predestined life span will die peacefully in their sleep. In contrast, those who die due to their doom flags will die painfully while they are conscious.

"As stated here by your son's life thread, he may live to 60 years old if he has the willpower to pass all of the doom flags in his life. Your son will indeed face a major doom flag in his thirties that has a very high chance of killing him. If his willpower is not strong enough, he may die at the age of 34 in war. "

"Please, Miss Lianhua, save my son. He is already 10 years old. I cannot let him die so early. Is there a way for you to increase his willpower?"

"Is your wish for your son to live a full life?" Lianhua asked softly.

"Yes," the man responded through his tears.

"I can increase his luck with god's blessing to help him surpass all of his doom flags. However, peace is something that I cannot do since gods have no control over the human mind and heart."

"Yes, please give him god's blessing. This lowly one thanks you" hero Zhen bowed, but before he could go down all the way, Lianhua stopped him.

"Please do not worry, hero Zhen. This is my job. I will grant your wish, so please move onto your next life at ease."
