The death of the Heavenly Empress is still a mystery. For many years, the Upper World experienced an unusual calm. The Celestial Emperor suddenly announced the successor of his position that the Asura would inherit. But before that, Asura would experience seclusion again for thousands of years.
That serenity and solitude was deeply felt in the Upper World. Shu Xin did not even have much movement, as her goal for the time being was to draw Asura to his side. Therefore, it should not be rash not to be found.
Years passed without feeling, everything passed so quickly. Asura returned to the Upper World with his new appearance. There was no suffocating demonic aura, there was only such a deep chill and calmness that appeared in his black eyes.
The change made many gods very surprised. They felt they had just seen such a terrifying red iris yesterday, but suddenly the red iris had changed completely. Although his temperament remained the same, but his aura changed a lot. It was no longer the fear they felt like before, but the majesty.
Only Shu Xin and the gods who came from the God World were not surprised. They knew what technique to use, even though it was long gone and no longer used. Separation of blood was a dangerous thing, Asura still alive until now was a miracle.
Because the change was accompanied by the position of the future successor to the throne, many people began to approach him to benefit. Despite the fear, they would rather not offend this vindictive god. Especially the women, they were getting more and more intensely approaching in various ways.
Sadly, they all failed. The sacred animals who always observe from afar make them have to know the limits. The animals themselves were trained by Asura, not to be underestimated. Their strength was too strong and was on par with the top demon monsters locked up in the sky seal.
If they are reckless, not necessarily they can stand firm without limping and getting hurt. The saint beasts were too aggressive and bold because behind them was the dreaded Asura.
Except for the Goddess of Life, no one dared to disturb the army of saint beasts.
After the gods calmed down, Shu Xin went to look for Asura. In this desolate palace, it was not difficult to find where the man was judging from his personality. The palace library was one of the places where Asura settled, Shu Xin knew of it from the beads of light scattered all over the world.
Shu Xin went inside, seeing the Book God enter the other room leaving Asura alone inside. But as soon as the Book God saw Shu Xin, he was silent for a while.
"The Light Goddess wants to find a book?" The man with half his glasses asked.
It took a while for Shu Xin to speak. "Asura's here? I have business with him."
"That's ... God is busy." The Book God did not dare to tease the quiet man. Although quiet, it was terrible.
"Oh yeah? I wonder how you can be so scared." Shu Xin smiled, a terrible smile. His golden iris caused the Book God to tense up against the goddess who was famous for this matter.
"This is the library, please the Goddess of Light not disturb the tranquility and follow the rules that apply."
"Then I came to read." Shu Xin did not have much time to deal with the Book God. He walked into the library just ignoring the man.
The Book God could only sigh. He knew the same motives of the Goddess of Light as the other gods, but since he had said coming to read, he could not stop even knowing the truth. The Book God went to another quieter room back then also avoiding the commotion. Where there was the Goddess of Light, there was a commotion.
The Goddess of Light went in the direction he knew was the place where Asura was. But as soon as he arrived, he saw no one.
He's confused. Has Asura been gone since he came? Why can't he know?
"You've been following me all day, is there anything so important?"
The voice somewhat surprised Shu Xin. He turned around, finding the old man standing like a very cold iceberg. The face was emotionless and hard to guess, even his tone was so flat that Shu Xin could not guess what the man was thinking.
"Yes .. I hope you remember me." Shu Xin put on her best smile. He hoped Asura would still remember his offer.
"My love isn't that good." That means Asura refused.
Shu Xin chuckled, not wanting to look too pitiful to have been rejected. "Simply make jokes."
"There's no time."
Shu Xin stopped her laughter. How do I melt this frozen ice? He did not believe her beauty and identity would not make Asura side with him!
"You know who I am, and it's impossible to ignore me. After all, you are the successor of the Celestial Emperor, having to recognize the gods in detail to determine the right decision. But, to be in a solid position like the Celestial Emperor, you still need the help of someone who has an understanding regarding the arrangements of the Upper World and the God World."
"You want to offer yourself, no need to explain." Asura had known the woman's motives from the very beginning.
Shu Xin felt like she was about to explode, but she had to endure it. "Please take it that way."
Asura flatly said, "Unfortunately, I did not open a slave vacancy."
"...." - ".Shu Xin was silent.
Slave said? How dare the man call him a slave. It tarnishes his good name!
Shu Xin's eyes were already round looking at the perfect figure in front of her that was too sharp-tongued. No, that man has a poisonous tongue!
Asura was too lazy to respond to the overexcited aunt who kept following him like a stalker. Since nothing mattered, he left there without looking back.
"Asura, do you know who you're talking to?" The Goddess of Light was furious and lodged a protest. But the man completely ignored her!
Out of annoyance, Shu Xin rashly took out her magic. He had humbled himself as low as he could, but the man dropped him and stepped on him like this. He can't accept!
"I was created from light, it is impossible to lose to a major god," Shu Xin murmured. His sword was ejected before it finally shot towards Asura with a terrifying speed.
But yet to hit a strand of Asura's hair, a blade of light suddenly appeared from the other side and blew Shu Xin's body from the side. Shu Xin held back the blade of light, then moved her sword quickly forming a pattern.
The pressure from the blade was so great, Shu Xin had to hold back with her sword until she subconsciously retreated. Golden wings emerged from his back, flapping until smashing several shelves around. Its outgoing wings flapped into the air and floated, avoiding the blade of light until it exploded on the sturdy part of the wall giving rise to a huge crack.
"I told you, I don't have time." Asura said in a cold tone. He was still standing firmly at his original spot, seeing Shu Xin hovering in the air staring at him sharply.
"Asura, you don't know what's good for you."
Shu Xin was about to attack, but suddenly another golden light came from the side of the ceiling like a huge whip towards her. Shu Xin quickly dodged before being hit by the lash, then darted to one corner.
The attack just now was not from Asura, but a formation located within the library. If the formation detected any magic power being released, or something that violated the rules of the library, then there would be an attack that could kill any god that made a mess.
That huge whip was not only aimed at Shu Xin, but at Asura as well. Since Asura had also just cast magic, the whip was also aimed towards him until Asura had to teleport to the other side to dodge.
The library is not suitable for a fighting place. Therefore, the two of them quickly came out before the formation got stronger and misled them for longer.
Asura looked at Shu Xin who was still chasing, he stopped. Shu Xin's sword was swung quickly and precisely, clashing against the Asura sword. The two golden swords clashed against each other, creating a huge splash of energy and pressure that caused the gods and fairies to be swept away.
They all watched from a distance, and began to pray for their own safety so as not to fall victim to the two creatures' battle. The power of Asura was clearly too great and no one could match him, but on the other hand the opponent was the Goddess of Light who was also famous for being very strong. Despite losing a lot of power due to punishment, she was still very strong as a nature goddess.
The two figures were too conspicuous in the sky, exchanging blows and the clinking of a sword that sounded loud as soon as they paid attention to the ears. It sounded like a heavy sword being snapped, accompanied by thousands of swords hitting each other in groups. Their battle speed was also too fast to be seen with ordinary eyes.
While the saint beasts just watched on top of the tree quietly. They did not worry about their master, could only put a candle in their hearts over the misfortune of Deei Light choosing the wrong opponent.
And sure enough, Shu Xin fell from the height of the sky so hard that it sounded like an explosion. The golden sword was stuck, helping him survive from falling and crashing too far. Shu Xin with the wounds on her body felt her hands so cramped and trembling. The power of the Asura was too strong for him. If Asura did not view her as a nature goddess, Shu Xin was already dead by this time.
"Why ..." murmured Shu Xin. He looked up to see Asura landing without the slightest injury, his white clothes were still very clean without a stain. Shu Xin was getting annoyed. "Why did you choose to be my enemy?"
Asura replied, "Why should I side with the traitor?"
Shu Xin was speechless. A traitor? Did Asura really recognize him from the beginning as the one who had wanted to kill him? Or did Asura already know, that he had killed the Heavenly Empress? If this is known to everyone, his life is in danger. He should not approach the dangerous man for now.
Since there was nothing else to say, Shu Xin left with a fiery fury. The boy dared to reject her and threatened her, he would not forget what happened today!
Asura, or Qu Xuanzi looked at Shu Xin's departure in silence. At that very moment the people watching started to disperse, not wanting to become the next target due to Asura's bad mood.
The next instant when everyone had left, Qu Xuanzi suddenly coughed. His hands that covered his mouth looked to have red patches. In addition, his lips also appear to have red stains even though not much.
"Your Majesty!" The Azure Dragon instantly knelt behind him, trying to hint at something.
"Just a little relapse." Qu Xuanzi remained calm, as if nothing had happened.
"It's weird. It should not be that the Goddess of Light can trigger the blood poison of the Demon God. Other than a power related to direct bloodlines, no one can trigger it back."
"He has nothing to do with me, but not with his strength."
The Azure Dragon seemed to catch something from Qu Xuanzi's remark. "What Goddess of Light—"
"Keep for yourself." Qu Xuanzi did not want to talk about it anymore.
"But—"
"It's none of your business."
The Azure Dragon fell silent and lowered its head. If it was true what he thought, wasn't the Goddess of Light extremely dangerous?
When fighting the Demon God a few years ago, the Demon God used his own blood to control the Demon Emperor and cause a great effect to Qu Xuanzi. Demon Gods are known to have mixed blood between gods and demons.
Thousands of years ago, a god married a female demon and had a child. But the god left, leaving the woman and her son in the Middle World. Desperate, the woman took her son away to the Underworld and worked in the Underworld Palace led by the Demon God. His son was made a bodyguard of the son of the Demon God—Qu Xuanzi. However, his son betrayed and took the position of the now-known Demon God and continued to fight with Qu Xuanzi.
Since that person had excellent control and had lived for a very long time as a mixed demon, he could control his mixed blood strength and make it a parasite for other mixed blood, including Qu Xuanzi.
Qu Xuanzi was still unable to control his mixed blood strength so it sometimes got out of control, that was why he performed the blood separation technique. But the Demon God took that opportunity to utilize another part of Qu Xuanzi—Devil Emperor—to be controlled and kill Qu Xuanzi slowly.
That blood had now become poisonous to Qu Xuanzi, causing him to be unable to use too much power. Anyone who had the same bloodline as him, including the Celestial Emperor and the Heavenly Empress, could trigger a blood poison that could kill him. He even had to keep his distance from the Celestial Emperor.
This time, Shu Xin suddenly triggered a blood poison with the magic she unleashed. It was obvious, the woman had very many secrets, let alone the Celestial Empress having died many years ago mysteriously.
"As long as the Demon God dies, His Majesty can be freed from the blood poison. But if the Goddess of Light was also involved, this would be complicated." The Azure Dragon was extremely agitated. The Goddess of Light had a very powerful and special position, unable to be bothered. Unless the Goddess of Light lost her divinity due to the darkness, they could only act.
"This thing, you don't have to think about it." Qu Xuanzi seemed to think the Goddess of Light was not a problem at all. Even so, he still had to be wary of the woman.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
After recovering, Shu Xin went to Middle-earth to calm the mind. Although the Middle World was not as beautiful as the Upper World, at least its aura was calmer with the aura of a god that made it claustrophobic.
Looking from the height of the mountain, a village was clearly visible. Seemed peaceful and serene, filled with complex and emotion-filled humans.
Shu Xin admitted, he was cruel and inhuman. But he likes a place where there is only peace. Although such a thing is impossible to obtain, at least occasionally he will see a village far from the settlement and live independently. Most of them get along with each other without any conflict of the outside world. Help each other and cooperate wholeheartedly, playing and having a partner freely without the restraints of world rules. Isn't that a good thing?
Sometimes, Shu Xin wished not to be born into a chaotic world. It is better that it remains a light that moves freely without any emotion and desire.
But since the rules of the world were coercive and could not be bothered, Shu Xin could only continue what she thought was right. He's here to survive. Whoever bothered him was doomed to die.
"It looks like my goddess is in a bad mood."
Shu Xin was somewhat surprised by the sound. He turned around, looking at the figure of the man with a handsome smile that he was very familiar with. Although it had been a very long time, Shu Xin clearly remembered who the person who understood her the most besides Wen Xi and Wen Ya was.
"Yue(?)" Shu Xin frowned. It was just that, he felt there were too many changes to the man until he barely recognized.
The style of clothing up to the proportions of his bones were much larger and sturdy, completely far from the Yuwen Yue he used to know. His blood-red eyes, which seemed to be looking at blood all his life, now looked sharp and cold. Even so, his gaze warmly looked at Shu Xin who was standing in front of him.
"It turns out my gods still remember." Yuwen Yue seemed to have a very good mood. He smiled happily seeing Shu Xin present and was fine.
Shu Xin looked at Yueen Yue meticulously full of probing, he identified his extremely dense aura of dark energy. It used to be that the man was weaker than him, but now .. he could not measure his strength.
There are only a few people who can overcome it. Other than Asura and the Celestial Emperor, there should be one person.
"Devil God?"
Shu Xin looked at him full of surprise. He had never seen the good Demon God who had previously been Asura— father nor now. He never thought .. that the one who killed the previous Demon God was Yuwen Yue.
"How can you?" He remembered very clearly, Yuwen Yue's strength was even weaker than that of an ordinary god. How could it kill a notoriously cruel Demon God and compete with a Celestial Emperor!
