Chapter 773: Fairy of God (I)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

“No matter how nice this place is, it’s not my home. I don’t belong in this realm. Long Haochen, I want to become your spiritual stove.”

Ye Xiaolei’s words really did make Long Haochen leap in fright.

When he faced against the Demon God Emperor, Long Haochen used the power of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon without any hesitation. However, when he saved Ye Xiaolei, he could clearly sense there was something off about Ye Xiaolei’s emotions.

As his cultivation progressed, his senses grew stronger and stronger, especially for some minute aspects. A pact existed between him and Ye Xiaolei, so Long Haochen could clearly sense her despairing sorrow.

After a moment of consideration, Long Haochen decided to send Ye Xiaolei to the world of Easton. He understood that Ye Xiaolei’s sadness came from the destruction of her home, while Easton was clearly the most suitable place for her to live.

“Xiaolei, you…”

Ye Xiaolei raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She looked at Long Haochen stubbornly, “I’m serious. I don’t want to stay here.”

The king of Easton could not help but say, “What’s so bad about this place? It’s perfectly compatible with your aura. Easton welcomes existences like you very much.” Ye Xiaolei’s aura of anture was even more pure than his own. Although it was not powerful, the vitality that was as pure as the Tree of Eternity gave the world of Easton a highly favourable impression of her.

Ye Xiaolei shook her head, “Thank you, but I can’t agree to it, because I don’t want to live here. I belong to the Shengmo Dalu. From a certain perspective, I am part of the Shengmo Dalu. If I leave there, my life will gradually wither. In less than a month, I will become air. I will disappear a dust.”

Long Haochen said in surprise, “Why’s that? You…”

Ye Xiaolei smiled miserably, “You don’t know what kind of existence I am, do you? I can tell you now. Actually, I’m rather similar to your elemental fairy. I’m not a true existence. I’m a fairy of god. I’m a body of energy.”

A fairy of god? Long Haochen was confused by those words, while the king of Easton’s expression changed drastically and stopped trying to persuade her.

“A so-called fairy of god from a certain perspective is basically a clone of a god. I am a clone that the Goddess of Nature had left behind on the Shengmo Dalu. My existence must be maintained by absorbing the essence of the world, sun and moon. Whether it’s the Illusory Shrine or the Illusory Paradise, they were all created by the Goddess of Nature for me before she became a god, or should I say, for herself.”

“Any existence, whether it be a human or another creature, will reach the level of god upon breaking through a million spiritual energy. In order words, they will begin the trial of god. This is an unchangeable fact. Passing the trial would make them a true god, while failure will reduce them to air. They will reincarnate and restart from the body of a child. Once they become god, their bodies will disperse and their consciousness will expand without limit, until it fills the entire world. They will be able to sense everything that goes on in any corner of the world and they will become a part of the realm, making it even more stable and prosperous. For example, when my original body, the Goddess of Nature, became a god, all of the plants in the entire realm would be able to flourish easier for a very long time into the future, while powerhouses that are close with nature will experience an increase in cultivation rate. However, the person who becomes god won’t be able to control anything. Gradually, they will merge with the world, with only a sliver of consciousness left to wander the world. As a result, many powerhouses are unwilling to become a god and would much rather enter reincarnation, so they don’t have to live such an abstruse life.”

“However, some matters cannot be defied most of the time. They cannot be decided personally. I can warn you right now that you shouldn’t break through the bottleneck of the ninth rank of the ninth step so easily. Once you do break through and your spiritual energy has exceeded nine hundred thousand, your spiritual energy will continue to grow. One day, when you reach the bottleneck of a million spiritual energy, there will be a moment when you automatically breakthrough by yourself.”

Long Haochen listened quietly. If he was just as weak as before, Ye Xiaolei’s words would have been useless to him, but it was different now. His cultivation had already reached the fifth rank of the ninth step. He was not that far away from the ninth rank of the ninth step.

Ye Xiaolei continued, “In the past, the Goddess of Nature knew that her life was coming to an end and she was unable to deny her fate of becoming a god. As a result, she used her own, great powers to create the Illusory Shrine and Illusory Paradise, and used her most pure spiritual energy to create something. She planted a sliver of her own soul into this pure power of nature, leaving behind a seed in the Illusory Paradise. This seed nurtures her status as a god.”

“You must be very curious as to why she did that, right? In reality, her objective was very simple. Once she became a god, she would still wander the world as a sliver of consciousness. Although she would not be able to do anything, that’s still a sliver of her consciousness after all. It was omniscient. So, once the seed she left in the Illusory Paradise sprouted and grew, it would gradually release her aura as a god and her consciousness would sense it, giving her a possibility of returning. Bu then, she would be able to return to being the Goddess of Nature in the human world, giving her a possibility of revival. Using her experiences of her past life, she would avoid the same mistake after reviving and avoid taking the path to becoming a god. I am that seed.”

As Ye Xiaolei explained all of that, she was very calm, but for some reason, Long Haochen’s heart ached. As he looked at how her eyes seemed aged despite her appearance of a seven or eight year old girl, he could not help but feel heartache.

“Actually, the Goddess of Nature failed, perhaps because she gave me a sliver of her soul. In the end, although she passed her trial to becoming god, she failed to maintain a clear consciousness. As a result, she hasn’t returned. As the seed, I sprouted and gradually gained by own consciousness.”

“In the Illusory Paradise, I don’t feel lonely. I have many, many companions. I don’t resent the Goddess of Nature for leaving me there either. As her clone, I am a part of her after all. I passed my days peacefully like that. Only when you humans appeared in the Illusory Paradise and used the essence of the world that had gathered there over the years to create spiritual stoves did my life gradually become interesting. Only I know that I have the same appearance as you humans, but I’m just a seed. No matter how much time passes, I won’t grow up. As time passed, I gradually developed my own ideas. I finally felt that the Illusory Paradise was trapping me like a prison. However, I can’t leave, because I need the power. If I lose the power, I’ll be like a flower that has lost its nutrients. I will wither before long. As a result, I began to look for a suitable human that could hold me out of everyone who entered the Illusory Paradise. All these years passed, but you’re the only one I’ve found. However, it was also that time that I felt danger, because the Demon God Emperor could actually force his way into the realm against the laws of the Illusory Paradise. As a result, I formed a pact with you.”

When she reached there, the misery in Ye Xiaolei’s eyes deepened, “I really didn’t know that I actually love my home so much. If I could make the choice again, I would rather stay there forever and never leave. My home’s been destroyed. The Illusory Paradise is gone. All of my friends have died when the space shattered. The tree, the blade of grass, all of my companions have gone forever. I have never hated someone like this before, but I really do hate him right now.”

The light in Long Haochen’s eyes flickered as he said solemnly, “There will be a day when the grievances between the humans and the demons will be settled. I can’t promise you that you can get your revenge, but I can tell you that in the battle between the humans and demons, I will do my best. Unless I die, my battle with the Demon God Emperor won’t end.”

Ye Xiaolei nodded gently, “I understand and I believe you. In just a few short years, you’ve becom so powerful. Even the Goddess of Nature did not grow as quickly as you. Moreover, the undead aura on you has completely vanished. It seems like you’ve completely broken free from the control of the Tower of Eternity. I didn’t say that I want to become your spiritual stove on impulse. I’ve thought over it very much.”

“I have already become a flower that has lost the earth. I need a new home. Here won’t work. I will still wither away here. Only by latching onto the power of a soul can I survive, but there are far, far too few powers of souls I can choose from. Only those who had reached the limit in terms of purity are possible. As a result, if I can’t become your spiritual stove, I will face death. I don’t have the choice.”

Long Haochen hesitated, “But, if you become my spiritual stove, won’t you vanish forever?”

Ye Xiaolei dried her tears before bursting out in laughter, “How could I vanish so easily? I’m not stupid. Why would I commit suicide? Haven’t you heard of an intelligent spiritual stove? Even your light elemental fairy can maintain a certain level of consciousness, so why can’t I as a fairy of god? Even if I do become your spiritual stove, I will retain all of my memories and you will end up with even more power of nature. Don’t worry, as a clone of the Goddess of Nature, I can choose what to strengthen once I fuse with you. I won’t strengthen your internal spiritual energy any further, as that will only push you closer to becoming a god, which will make you commit the same mistakes as the Goddess of Nature. I can choose to strengthen your external spiritual energy.”
