Chapter 820: Don’t Make Me Wait For Too Long!
When Yue Yang woke up, he found himself lying on the ground.
Hundreds of bones in his body were aching.
That kind of pain was the same as the soreness that he experienced when his body couldn’t fully adapt to the fast pace of a breakthrough in certain periods. However, this was even more serious.
How long have I been lying down?
Yue Yang thought as he was about to sit up, but he suddenly felt that Zhi Zun was lying on his chest and an indescribable virgin fragrance filled his lungs. Her soft body was close to him and she was sleeping on her side, seeming to still be in a deep dream. He was so used to seeing Zhi Zun’s sternness, her smiles and also her anger, but he had never seen Zhi Zun in such close proximity, much less seeing her sleeping sweetly… The ‘her’ at this moment, was indeed very different from how she usually was.
For a moment, Yue Yang forgot her identity.
He suddenly wanted to reach out his hand and lightly touch her face.
Yue Yang couldn’t explain what he was thinking as his action was entirely from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps, it was the attraction of his soul!
Only when Yue Yang moved slightly, did he realize that his right hand was being held down by Zhi Zun’s arm, causing him to be completely immobile. If he pulled away a little vigorously, he guessed that Zhi Zun would wake up. Forget it, didn’t he still have a left hand? Yue Yang tried to control his left hand, but he was surprised once again. Unknowingly at some point, his left hand had been holding onto Zhi Zun’s slender waist.
Have I been sleeping with my arms around her?
This shocked Yue Yang immensely.
If Zhi Zun finds out about this, killing myself would be considered a light sentence.
Yue Yang knew that the difficulty of winning Zhi Zun’s heart was more difficult than defeating the Big Three of the Heaven Realm or even attacking the Divine Central Hall. If he made a move recklessly, it would be easy to offend her, in turn increasing the difficulty of winning her over. Although Yue Yang had long been determined in taking down Zhi Zun as she was the strongest, but it was still too early to know the outcome. Without enough strength to obtain her approval, he doesn’t have to think about overthrowing the current first place holder of the Tong Tian Tower!
She was asleep, she wouldn’t know.
If you just touch it…
An evil demon in Yue Yang’s heart constantly tempted him:
Just touch it, she definitely wouldn’t know; this is the best opportunity.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva nervously, Yue Yang encouraged himself repeatedly. Finally, he mustered up the courage. If anything, he’ll just die— even if she reacted and broke his finger, he would admit his fate; it was now or never.
His left hand slowly moved downwards.
His nervosity, paired with an indescribable excitement in his heart, Yue Yang’s left hand trembled slightly.
It’s there, it’s there, it’s almost there... When Yue Yang’s trembling left hand touched her wonderfully round arc, Zhi Zun’s eyes suddenly snapped wide open and glared at Yue Yang, he was frightened to the point where his heart was about to jump out of his body.
“What have you been thinking about all day?” Zhi Zun did not speak, but her stern will had penetrated Yue Yang’s mind.
“I wasn’t thinking about anything.” Yue Yang hurriedly pretended to be a good boy. Fortunately for him, there was no obscenity in his mind, otherwise, she would definitely have broken through. No, Yue Yang realised that he hadn’t spoken, and neither did Zhi Zun, so how did she use her will to enter his mind? And this was not an invasion but a kind of spiritual resonance, as if two people have been born with the ability to have a spiritual dialogue…what on Earth happened?
“Empty the thoughts in your heart and prohibit your delusions.” The posture of Zhi Zun lying on Yue Yang’s chest remained unchanged. Perhaps she had only just awoken her spirit, and it would take a while before she could truly recover the control of her body.
Yue Yang was slightly regretful. If he wasn’t so nervous just now, and reached out his hand a little faster, he would have touched it.
Hence, he missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
And he doesn’t know when he will have this chance again.
These thoughts flashed across his mind like lightning, and under Zhi Zun’s compelling eyes, Yue Yang quickly retracted those thoughts, restoring the Ethereal Realm in his mind.
He didn’t know whether Zhi Zun said so to take the opportunity to prevent him from seeing her embarrassment from her disheveled clothes, or whether she wanted him to punish himself. Forget it, he hadn’t really touched it, but then he might have touched it a little, and it felt really good. It would have been worth it even if he received a small punishment.
A few more thoughts flashed before Yue Yang gradually fell into the Ethereal Realm, completely calming down his mind.
Zhi Zun’s body bursted with energy.
Bursting out of the vast star-like energy field around Yue Yang’s body, the beam of energy reached the sky, reaching a massive height of several hundred meters vertically.
The extreme height was then instantaneously reversed.
Projected above the head of Zhi Zun’s lookalike image, the ‘sacred image’, it had become more glorious. Behind her head flashed out a rainbow-like circle. In the palms of the sacred image, a flurry of golden energies emerged, transforming into mysterious and unparalleled Divine Swords with different shapes and sizes. They automatically rotated in the light wheel to form a new circle of swords. The sacred image guardian who appeared similarly to Zhi Zun suddenly opened both eyes… The world was filled with light in an instant, and even the girls who were climbing and cultivating on the Heaven Stairway were shocked to find that the entire world of the stairway had become a ‘world of light’.
Zhi Zun grabbed Yue Yang’s left hand, and lightly swiped her finger over it.
Yue Yang’s palm cracked.
And a fesh trail of blood splashed out.
Zhi Zun’s slender and white hand rotates in a semi-circle. Her action was delicate like the moon, gently citing.
The splashed blood then formed a strange bloodied six-pointed star which imprinted on Zhi Zun’s forehead.
At the same time that Zhi Zun’s forehead was inscribed with the six-pointed blood star, her fragrant body was half leaning, face touched with Yue Yang’s,and their foreheads were pressed tightly together.
Yue Yang maintained his ethereal consciousness, and in an instant, he let Zhi Zun’s unsurpassed will pull him, flying into a wonderful and undescribable spiritual space. There, Zhi Zun’s soul body and Yue Yang’s soul merged into one, completing the previous soul contract between Empress Fei Wen Li and Yue Yang. Of course, the soul contract had another name in the heavens, and that is ‘Divine Agreement’.
In the process of completing the Divine Agreement, Yue Yang sensed Zhi Zun’s realms and the many secrets of hers that he didn’t know.
Similarly, Zhi Zun had also discovered many secrets in Yue Yang’s heart.
Except for the Heavenly Sword Goddess and his transverse, which even Empress Fei Wen Li could not uncover, many of Yue Yang’s habits and secrets in life were already in the heart of the current Zhi Zun.
As there was no need to worry that Yue Yang’s realm would not be high enough to bear, paired with the fact Zhi Zun had no reservations when forming the Soul Contract, therefore both Yue Yang and Zhi Zun have obtained more personal secrets than the soul contract between Fei Wen Li and Yue Yang. Even the knowledge inheritance that Si-niang gave to Yue Yang was shared with Zhi Zun, because that kind of knowledge inheritance was too large. Some of the extremely in-depth knowledge remained imprinted in Yue Yang’s mind, and Zhi Zun had only truly acquired one third of it.
Yue Yang had gained even more from Zhi Zun, including all kinds of questions and perceptions during her cultivation.
There were also her fighting skills and her life habits.
Even Yue Yang was shocked by Zhi Zun’s insights in the three aspects of ‘Divine Authority’, ’Divine Power’ and ‘Divine Godhead’… Zhi Zun did not possess the strength of the Divine Supreme, but because she had assisted Yue Yang to break through the limitless realm, she had been comprehending the sacred and supreme ‘Divine Realm’.
In time, she will be the one and only “Goddess of Radiance”.
In the three aspects of the Divine Godhead, the execution of the Divine Authority and unsurpassed Divine Power that she embraced for the first time was ‘light’, the absolute and superior ‘light’.
Why?
Yue Yang didn’t really understand.
Why would Zhi Zun do this? She, who had realized the Godhead, was already destined to be born as a God. Yet why should she have a Soul Contract with him? Her actions were of almost no benefit to her because she did not gain much from him, but instead she shared all the insights of her years of cultivation and the awakening of the supreme sacrality selflessly with him…In the case where he died in battle, she who has contracted her soul with his, will also die together. She was destined to be the Goddess of Radiance in the future, forever to be in the Divine Realm where she will always be young and immortal. Why should she go through the test of life and death with him?
With this question, Yue Yang was still puzzled after his soul returned and awakened again.
“Return.”
Zhi Zun flew into the sky.
The huge sacred image immediately merged into her body.
Suddenly, hundreds of millions of brilliant lights shone on the earth, and the entire stairway turned into day, having nothing to hide.
The blood six-pointed star on his forehead gradually disappeared, but Zhi Zun’s soul could already be connected with Yue Yang at any time. Under the Soul Contract, the two of them didn’t need to speak, and their hearts were together as one. Zhi Zun lightly bit her finger, dripping her blood on the head of the little six-winged blood angel. With another flick of her finger, she forced out a drop of blood from the wound on Yue Yang’s palm that was about to close, and dripped it on the head of the same blood angel.
The bright,clean forehead of the six-winged blood angel also flashed a blood six-pointed star, but it was not a Soul Contract. It was another mysterious array diagram.
It turned out that the little six-winged blood angel screamed under the urging of the two’s ‘divine blood’, and it’s body returned to its original form. The six wings stretched, and the energy exploded… When raised till the limit, on her back, a fourth pair of even more beautiful blood wings was formed… Zhi Zun raised her hand slightly, and the eight-winged blood angel immediately transformed into a Sword of Life, which she lifted into the air.
With a light stroke, Zhi Zun had drawn a wonderful crevice in the sky.
It couldn’t be closed even for a long time.
Yue Yang looked stunned on the ground, this was a genuine space division!
If any hapless person ever took on such a sword, no matter how good they were, they would die.
The display after Zhi Zun’s awakening in the Divine Realm hasn’t finished yet. According to the Wheel of Eternity that Yue Yang has realised, she had transformed the original Broken Void Six-pointed Star into an Eternal Six-pointed Star, a six-pointed star that could exist for eternity and be able to continue breaking into the void… Her eternal six-pointed star does not have the growth potential nor the ancient power of the Wheel of Eternity. Without the extra help from the Wheel of Eternity from Yue Yang, the star would’ve barely been able to be regarded as the embodiment of Zhi Zun’s personal divine power. When Zhi Zun’s strength had not reached the genuine Divine state, and without possessing real divine power, the eternal six-pointed star still would not have the ability to exert its true ‘Divine Power’.
“Blackie.”
It turned out that Zhi Zun didn’t call the tiny condensed black hole after the shattered void Blackie, but after contracting with Yue Yang’s soul, she followed the way he called it.
Renaming this devastatingly destructive means of attack to ‘Blackie’.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, six sunspots were condensed at the same time, three times more than the maximum of two she could condense before.
Yue Yang felt that she hadn’t reached the limit yet. It was just a casual attempt, and she was still honing her control skills…This kind of superior sunspot was more destructive than before. Yue Yang saw it and felt his own scalp was tingling. Speaking of destructive ability, it was estimated that only the fading Wheel of World Destruction could slightly surpass it… With such a move in Yue Yang’s mind, the Wheel of World Destruction was formed. Along with the absolute sunspots in the hands of Zhi Zun, the two destructive powers reflected each other, as if they were going to demolish the entire world.
The Night Empress came by from a distance and she was frightened when she saw this scene, for fear that the two would fight uncontrollably.
Her worries were not needed as the very thing she was worried about did not happen.
Instead they removed the destructive skills respectively, simultaneously realising the enhancement of the power of their skills after reaching the new realm. After the Soul Contract, the two not only felt the differences in their own comprehension, but they could also share them at the same time. They complement each other and provide assistance for each other, which is many times stronger than the previous understanding of only one person.
“Destruction, trio!”
Zhi Zun was preparing to blast the light of destruction happily, but she suddenly discovered that a comet was sent out from afar by the Night Empress, representing her advice not to do so.
She immediately realized that this was not a good place for an experiment. Yue Yu, Yue Bing and the others have all come by hearing the news, and if the energy impact of the Light of Destruction had missed, they would be annihilated directly. In an instant, Zhi Zun put away the thought of casting, floated down from the sky and landed in front of Yue Yang. She looked at Yue Yang and didn’t speak for a long time. Yue Yang made her feel a little fuzzy in her heart. Shouldn’t she have to settle some things now?
Why did you touch it just now?
It seems that the difficulty of winning her over has increased a lot. Yue Yang really felt sad just thinking about it this way.
“I won’t speak nonsense. After the Soul Contract, you know me and I understand you. Besides, who here doesn’t know what kind of person you are!” Zhi Zun approached Yue Yang. They locked eyes, her nose pressed against his nose, her scented lips were only a touch away from Yue Yang’s lips, and the breath of the two met each other. Even if he could kiss her just by moving his lips, Yue Yang still didn’t dare to make a mistake. He didn’t know if Zhi Zun would be angry in the next second, or would she forgive him― both of these results were possible… Zhi Zun stared at Yue Yang for a long time before her plump lips breathed out a sigh gently, and she said something that made Yue Yang almost doubt the ethereal words ringing through his ears: “I’ll give you a chance. I will be waiting for you at the one millionth step, as long as you can climb up to one million!”
“Huh?” Yue Yang filled with a sudden surge of happiness. A huge feeling of surprise had conquered his heart.
“Don’t make me wait for too long!” Zhi Zun turned around and without looking back, she floated away.
She passed by the Night Empress.
No words were exchanged, but the Night Empress seemed to understand Zhi Zun’s mind. Not only did she chuckle, the shadow that bathed in the starry sky also gave a slight bow to say goodbye to Zhi Zun.
Yue Yang hadn’t come back to his senses until the faint fragrance of the Night Empress was blown over to him by the wind.
Looking at his dumbfounded expression, she laughed and said, “How about it? She has set such a goal for you, do you think you have hope for the future?”
Yue Yang woke up from his dream and quickly regained his senses while grasping the back of his head: “One million steps are not easy to achieve. I also know that this promise is her encouragement for me.” The Night Empress’s laughter sounded after the night: “It’s not just an encouragement, she sincerely hopes that you can surpass her… In fact, I understand her very well, little guy. If you want me to give you some encouragement, I won’t need to be as difficult as one million steps, just 500,000 steps will do.”
He started to sweat.
Yue Yang knew that the Night Empress’s words were just teasing him, and yet he couldn’t help but sweat profusely.
“It’s a pity that I can’t be like her. Otherwise, I will also sign a Soul Contract with you.” After the Night Empress laughed, she suddenly said in a straightforward manner: “Why did she take the initiative to sign a Soul Contract with you? In fact, she hoped to share with you the threats of death, to let you understand the responsibility on your shoulders and at the same time give you the greatest support. With every new Soul Contract focused on you, the faster and higher your future growth will be… I don’t think I need to say much about everyone’s expectations of you, so no matter what happens or what difficulties you have, you must always remember that you will never be alone, and you will always have our support!”
