The Wish Of The Dragon 135 Chapter 134

When Chi Wuyao about to leave the abyss, Issei called out lightly: "Wait."

"Yes, young master?" She asked in a soft tone. She doesn't have the time to play around anymore since she needs to formulate a plan that could allow her to take control of the whole Northern region in a span of three days...

"Take this with you." Issei took out a red charm and tossed it to her: "With your current strength, taking control of the Northern Divine region in three days is impossible. That charm contains a little bit of my strength that I just created... It contains darkness energy and you should be able to utilize its effect to a certain extent."

Issei transformed the dark energy that he just absorbed from this place.

"Thank you, young master." Chi Wuyao's eyes glimmered brightly when she heard Issei's words.

"Don't thank me just yet." But Issei cut her off when she's about to bow deeply: "Although that charm mostly contains darkness energy. There's also a drop of my 'unique' power. Be warned... There's a chance that when you use that charm, you might lose your mind and become insane."

Issei warned in a stern voice.

"Whether you dare to use that power or not is completely up to you," Issei said.

"...I understand, young master." Chi Wuyao said after a little bit of thinking.

Right after she left, Nyarlathotep emerged from Issei's shadow.

She immediately wrapped her arms around Issei's neck and said with a chuckle: "Ufufufu, you sure are evil dear husband~"

"...What do you mean?" Issei asked feigning ignorance.

"You are clearly using her as a test subject. That charm contains a teensy weensy bit of your u003cChaosu003e energy. You of all people should know just how 'harmful' the u003cChaosu003e energy is." Nyarlathotep smirked.

"...I'm only giving her a chance."

"A chance for what? To obtain her so-called freedom? Hehehe, you're clearly not giving her an option. It's all but an illusion... an illusion as if she has a choice in the first place even though you know that she will undoubtedly use your charm to achieve her dreams."

"..." Issei doesn't say anything else after that since what she said is basically true... to a certain extent that is. If Chi Wuyao were to use his charm then he will be notified and he could save her when the time comes... in return, he could observe the change that's happening within her body.

But the fact that he's using her as a test subject is true. He wanted to see just how far can someone be affected by his u003cChaosu003e energy. How long can they use it and just how far can they go...

Until now, Issei never thought of doing such a thing since he doesn't really need to. He usually experiments with his own body and n.o.body else... but now, it's a different story.

If he were to experiment with his own body as usual then Nyarlathotep might notice something and it will be all for naught.

By using Chi Wuyao as a test subject, he could measure the limit of this world's inhabitant since they're created by Nyarlathotep herself.

They're basically her descendant after all... Even if the chance is small, he still needs to take it.

For him, this is quite a fair trade. In exchange for his help, Chi Wuyao shall become his test subject...

"You know, Dragon king... I don't really mind whether you could truly defeat me or not since I'm already satisfied with our current arrangement... I won't harm your loved ones just as I promised as long as you don't stop giving me what I want~" Nyarlathotep planted a kiss on Issei's cheek.

Chi Wuyao is extremely alluring and seductive but Nyarlathotep is still above the former.

Issei sighed to himself after hearing what Nyarlathotep said.

He wishes that he could just accept her words just like that but he couldn't take the chance... What if someday she change her mind? What will happen to his loved ones then?

And that is why he must find a way to truly defeat her. He has no intention of killing Nyarlathotep at the moment.

Saying that Issei has no attachment towards her would be a lie but that doesn't mean that he will hesitate to kill her if the situation calls for it...

...

It took Chi Wuyao two and a half-day before she finally used the charm Issei gave her.

Issei who sensed this immediately opened a spatial rift towards her location and he started to observe Chi Wuyao changes from the other side.

She was in a sorry state being besieged by multiple enemies at once and most of her witches are in a dire state...

Two days ago, Chi Wuyao the rumored Devil Queen suddenly sent a letter to each and every realm king within the Northern region. The letter stated that she wanted them to surrender their realm to her...

Obviously the other realm king scoffed at this and thought that she was just messing around but once she invaded and successfully take control over the Yama realm, the other realm started to take her words more seriously. Then she took another realm on the very same day... three, four... on the second day, she manages to take control over half of the Northern Divine region.

Seeing that they can't let things just go on this way, the other remaining realm king decided to work together and was about to subdue the exhausted Chi Wuyao.

She and her army has been attacking one realm after another without resting hence the current outcome is as expected.

Seeing that she finally has no other choice, Chi Wuyao ultimately chooses to use Issei's charm.

Her injuries and even strength rose at an alarming rate that the other realm king went into a shock.

The previous Chi Wuyao could already contend against three Divine Master Realm but after using the charm, she could easily defeat thirty of them at the same time.

Chi Wuyao felt like her whole body is being filled with boundless power! It felt like she could take on the whole G.o.d Realm with her current state!

But alas... when she finally struck down her last compet.i.tor... she felt like her whole body is burning from the inside out.

Her bewitching face becomes flushed and her breathing started to become ragged, her eyes turned blurry and her entire body and soul wishes that it could melt into Issei's embrace. She wanted to latch onto his body and never let go... she felt like if she didn't get what she wanted she would go insane!

Her eyes turned bloodshot after a while and her whole being is emanating an enticing aura that manages to smitten her male and female followers alike.

Issei who saw this frowned deeply... Why is her state is a bit different than what he expected? Wasn't she supposed to go insane and started to go on a b.l.o.o.d.y rampage? Issei was prepared to stop her if she were to suddenly attack one of her own followers but it never happened.

She only started shuddering on the spot while fidgetting a lot.

If his eyes were not wrong then she clearly looks more like a woman in heat rather than someone who's about to go on a b.l.o.o.d.y rampage...

"M-Master? Are you alright?" One of the nine witches who can still stand asked worriedly.

"...eave..."

"Ah? Wh-what did you say just now, master?"

"I said leave!"

Chi Wuyao said through gritted teeth while facing the witch.

Her followers become stunned after hearing their master's words.

Issei finally decided to interfere or things would go south soon. It would be too troublesome if the u003cChaosu003e started to infect those around her.

Issei appeared beside Chi Wuyao which made her followers who have never seen Issei before become alarmed. Thankfully they didn't see his face and only saw his back...

"Hang on," Issei said lightly towards Chi Wuyao who already started looking at him with an eye of a predator while holding her arm.

In the next moment, the two of them disappeared from the spot leaving behind the stupefied lackeys. The nine witches who have seen Issei before don't feel as surprised and they started giving out instructions to the rest of them...

...

Issei reappeared in Chi Wuyao's palace with her in tow.

The moment they arrived, Chi Wuyao practically pounced herself onto Issei's body and if Issei didn't hold her back then she would've given Issei a pa.s.sionate kiss along with other stuff...

"Hold still..." Issei said to the woman who's trying her best to get what she wanted.

Issei then stabilized her condition by absorbing the lingering u003cChaosu003e energy within her body.

Chi Wuyao regained her clarity after Issei finishes absorbing the u003cChaosu003e energy but she's overcome with exhaustion from using the charm Issei gave her.

Issei caught her fall and asked lightly: "How are you feeling?"

Issei has to admit that Chi Wuyao is an extremely alluring woman... probably because she's a master in the art of seduction even though she herself is still a virgin. If other men were to saw her current condition then they would've fallen to her hand.

But... if she's compared to Nyarlathotep then she still falls short...

Every inch of her body… even her snowy skin, her neck, and her dainty hand that's currently holding onto his shoulder seemed to glow with a fantastically mesmerizing light.

"...Young master..." Chi Wuyao softly whispered, her misty and limpid eyes staring straight into Issei's "...Am I not attractive enough for you?"

Issei frowned at her words... Is there still some lingering u003cChaosu003e within her body? Why did she suddenly ask this kind of question?

She dazedly extended her hand trying to touch Issei's face.

"Answer my question. How are you feeling." Issei caught her hand preventing her to touch his face.

Chi Wuyao pouted a little seeing how cold Issei is. There's also a slight disappointment welled up inside her heart.

"...I am fine. But I do feel a bit tired, no... very exhausted." She replied with a sigh.

"Is that so. Then you better get some rest." Issei pushed her body towards the bed that is located nearby.

After he does that, he started to think to himself...

Seeing how Chi Wuyao doesn't become insane but rather went into... heat instead... it could be seen that his u003cChaosu003e is a little different from Nyarlathotep's u003cChaosu003e.

And Chi Wuyao herself seems to be able to control herself to a certain extent... this means that his u003cChaosu003e is a bit weaker than Nyarlathotep's even though it's not as potent. Or was it perhaps because Chi Wuyao is Nyarlathotep 'descendant'?

Is it perhaps because the amount of u003cChaosu003e Chi Wuyao's absorbed is too little? Or should he increase his u003cChaosu003e strength? Maybe he could add some of her u003cChaosu003e into his? There are too many 'what if'...

While Issei is thinking to himself, Chi Wuyao who's on her bed becomes entranced at his serious face... How charming, she thought to herself.

'How dangerous... this kind of man... is there any woman that could stop themselves from falling into his palm?' Chi Wuyao thought dazedly.

She reckons that any woman would be willing to throw themselves at him with just a snap of his finger...

After a while, the witches returned to the palace... they immediately scrambled to Chi Wuyao's side when they sensed her presence.

They stopped in their track when they saw Issei who's currently taking note to himself.

"Hm? Take care of her. And Chi Wuyao, use this transmission stone in case anything happens." Issei stopped his thoughts after he sensed the witches' arrival. Then he placed the transmission stone on the nearby table.

"As for your offer... I don't need your army or anything but I will help you gain your freedom when the time comes. Don't worry about the payment for my help, I already received it to a certain extent... by making you into my test subject that is. Then, I will tell you when the time is right." Issei said before he disappeared from her palace.

After Issei disappeared, the witches started to complain to the stupefied Chi Wuyao but before long she burst out laughing to herself.

"Ahahahaha! Truly... What a gentleman... To think that he admits that he just used me as his test subject just like that."

"M-Master? Are you not angry that he used you?"

"Used me? He can even go further and beyond if he wanted to and I won't be able to resist nor will I resist." Chi Wuyao chuckled: "He clearly willing to help us and the fact that he told me that he just used me just make him seems gentle and kind more than anything... And seeing how he appeared right by my side when I'm about to go... 'insane' back then, it's obvious that he's watching me the whole time... Hehehe, what a splendid young master he is..."

Issei could just not say anything and she still won't complain since she already guessed that Issei is hiding something from her when he gave her that charm but she doesn't care...

If the cost to obtain his help is to use her own body as payment then it's fine. The cost of one life for billion others are completely worth it...

After she obtained the Nirvana Devil Soul when she was young, she started to disregard all life and held contempt for everything whether conscious or unconscious. But that doesn't mean she doesn't knows what's good or bad...

Other people may not know this, but her view of men was pretty similar to Qianye Ying'er.

While Qianye Ying'er found men to be absolutely loathsome creatures, and there were probably only two categories of men to her: 'useful tools' and 'useless trash'. There was just a special exception to that rule, now.

Chi Wuyao was 'taught' to look down on the entire world from the very beginning.

Besides that, her soul especially disliked men. Just like Qianye Ying'er, she views them as useful tools or useless trash only. After all, how could a mortal man ever have the privilege to touch her body? Their only use was to become her faithful puppets and surrender all their power and wealth to her.

"How fascinating... If he really were to become my husband... Perhaps my life will be filled with infinite joy? Hehehe!"Chi Wuyao's b.r.e.a.s.t.s bounced slightly as she let out a giggle and the witches can only look at each other in askance...

They don't know how to react to this... This is the first time for their master to look so jubilant like this. And the cause of it is the mysterious otherworldly man that recently showed up out of nowhere...

They also don't have any objection if their master would marry that man though since his strength is obvious to them all... and also his otherworldly visage...

Issei doesn't know that he manages to 'ensnared' two outstanding women in the whole G.o.d Realm... oh no, should we say three instead? But the last one already bears him a child at that leaving the previous two in the dust...

Although... whether Issei could accept it or not is another thing...

What will his reaction be when he finds out that he has been taken 'advantage' of... only the future can tell...

...

The next day, the news of Chi Wuyao taking ahold of all Nothern Divine Region spread across the whole realms.

An intimidating-looking invitation card was delivered throughout the still-shaking Northern Divine Region, stirring up even bigger waves in the region.

These invitation cards were personally delivered by people from one of three king realms and they were sent to all the realm kings and core sects of the upper and middle star realms. There were even a few invitation cards sent to the most important lower star realms.

Moreover, an invitation card from a king realm had never merely been just an invitation. It was, in reality, an imperial decree that could not be defied!

If they refused an invitation from another star realm, it would, at worst, mean that they were not showing them any face. But none of them would dare to reject an "invitation" sent to them by one of the king realms unless they were tired of living of course.

It was quite common for a king realm of the Northern Divine Region to send out so many invitations. They would do so every time a new emperor was being crowned.

However, this invitation card had been sent out in the name of all three king realms!

The words "We invite all kings to come and greet our new ruler" contained a transcendent might that shook them to the core.

The meaning contained behind those words was even more shocking than the might that emanated from them. They caused huge waves to crash about in the hearts of all the realm kings of the Northern Divine Region.

The three king realms were jointly declaring that they had a "new ruler"?

The three king realms were jointly appointing a new ruler?

A new ruler who stood above the three king realms!?

This was something unprecedented in the Northern Divine Region, a notion that had never crossed any of their minds.

Ise. This name had swiftly spread through the upper echelons of the Northern Divine Region ever since he was mentioned by Chi Wuyao.

The Burning Moon Realm, one of the top realm in the Norther Divine region had fallen within the span of a single day. The news that this 'Ise' being Chi Wuyao's new master had inherited the legacy of a Devil Emperor and could release the power of a True G.o.d shot through the Northern Divine Region like a bolt of heavenly lightning… and Chi Wuyao was naturally also the one who was orchestrating everything behind the scenes.

Chi Wuyao had already started campaigning for Ise's name from the very beginning, causing his "name", which was unknown until this very day to the Northern Divine Region, to crash into the minds of all the powerhouses of the Northern Divine Region. But this "invitation" and "grand ceremony" were still far too sudden, far too shocking. So much so that all of these wise and experienced overlords were left dumbfounded by the news.

Amidst their shock, all of these rulers began to sense that something incredible was afoot.

The event was to be held a week from now. The location? The Soul Stealing Realm Sacred Region.

Issei himself never instructed Chi Wuyao to do any of this but seeing how he's going to give them a hand anyway, he decided to let it be. Not like he cares either way...

Chi Wuyao's reason for doing this also because she thought that Issei won't be happy if she didn't mention his name during the whole charade. Hence she decided to mention to the whole region that he's her new master... but that's just her overthinking things...

Of course, n.o.body but the nine witches had seen Issei's might so the other realm kings only thought that this 'Ise' is just another 'facade' that Chi Wuyao uses to hide the real reason for her sudden rise in power.

The day when Issei appears briefly to take Chi Wuyao with him is only seen by Chi Wuyao's close followers so no outsider has seen him.

"Will you be attending the coronation ceremony, young master?" Chi Wuyao asked in a seductive voice while she's enjoying the view of his focused face who's taking a mental note to himself.

Even the nine witches also look dazedly at him but Issei pays their gaze no mind. There's a little bit of worship contained within their eyes when they look at Issei now.

Issei 'helped' them by transforming the u003cBone Sea of Eternal Darknessu003e into their special cultivation area.

It's not like Issei is intentionally helping them but the remaining Darkness energy left within that place is of no use to him. It's the u003cDeathu003e energy that he finds useful although it's only a tiny bit...

The u003cBone Sea of Eternal Darknessu003e was undoubtedly the best place for them who cultivate the darkness art.

The level of the primordial yin energy in that place was extremely high and the energy itself was extremely dense. No other place in this universe could compare to it.

He returned once in a while to see if there are any changes with Chi Wuyao's body.

"No." Issei simply said not taking his eyes off from the purple orb in front of him...

This...o...b..contains a bit of Nyarlathotep's u003cChaosu003e but it is being encased by his own u003cChaosu003e.

Even from the distance away, the nine witches shuddered fiercely after sensing the immense power within that orb.

Oddly enough, Chi Wuyao seems quite calm despite being in close proximity to the orb. Another thing he has taken note of...

"I see..." Chi Wuyao said with a sigh. She couldn't say that she hasn't antic.i.p.ated his answer but... it would be better if Issei himself showcased a bit of his power to the rest of the realm king so they can see just what his true might like.

Other good news for her is that her strength has been increased as well. She could sense that she almost achieve breakthroughs to the realm in legends but somehow she just couldn't pierce that paper-thin barrier for whatever reason... it's quite close but not there yet.

Ise, well, Chi Wuyao's grand coronation ceremony was already being prepared with much fanfare within the Soul Stealing Sacred Region. The Yama Realm and the Burning Moon Realm were also involved. When Chi Wuyao had selected the Soul Stealing Sacred Region as the venue, it had sent a loud and clear signal to the other two realms.

During these turbulent times for the Northern Divine Region, ironically, the woman responsible for it all was currently unoccupied and relaxed.

The Yama Realm had originally been the biggest and hardest obstacle for Chi Wuyao to overcome. How could their reputation as the king realm who had risen to the peak of the Northern Divine Region for the last eight hundred thousand years be a lie? Even if she managed to easily conquer the Burning Moon Realm first, conquering the Yama Realm would have been a long and bitter struggle.

However, with Issei taking the three Yama ancestors out of the picture, their might has been reduced by more than half.

"Aiyah, why don't you just take all of the Northern Divine Region for yourself, young master? With your strength, you could easily take control of all of the devil race in a span of a single day... no, perhaps even less..."

A cottony and devilish voice that could melt bone rang out in the air. Chi Wuyao's voice is laced with pity and regret... She took a step forward trying to observe the orb within Issei's palm more closely.

A bewitching and delicate fragrance a.s.saulted Issei's nostrils as Chi Wuyao appeared at his side.

Chi Wuyao had only taken a single graceful step forward, but her ample bosom already started to jiggle in an alluring and provocative fashion

She gave him a flirtatious smile as she said, "Is playing with that... thing is more fun rather than 'playing' with me, young master? If I'm not enough then my nine children could join us~"

The nine children are referring to the nine witches and not her actual children of course.

"..." Issei completely ignores her words. At some point, he frowned seeing that he still needs more clues... should he go back to the u003cG.o.d Realm of Absolute Beginningu003e and catch some beasts to experiment on?

"Pffft... Must you be so cold, young master~" Chi Wuyao giggled seductively. A mult.i.tude of enchanting ripples danced in her eyes but more than anything, the disappointment in her gaze is the most obvious.

"...Can you tell me what you meant by what you said before in the u003cBone Sea of Eternal Darknessu003e, young master? You being the ruler of darkness?" Chi Wuyao's voice loses its seductiveness and she asked Issei with a curious voice instead.

The amount of mystery that's misting over Issei is too enormous... she can't even begin to imagine just what his real ident.i.ty is... No amount of guessing and researching could help her to deduce his true ident.i.ty...

But the more she tries to uncover his secrets, the further she's fallen... The same goes for Qianye Ying'er who basically trying her best to find out about his true ident.i.ty.

Qianye Fantian, the father of Qianye Ying'er herself becomes anxious after he heard of what her daughter said. He also tries to help her daughter to uncover his ident.i.ty but to no avail...

Their only clue is the u003cG.o.d Realm of Absolute Beginningu003e which is not helpful in the slightest.

That place is the most known but also the most unknown place in the u003cG.o.d Realmu003e... Even though his daughter presumably has entered the deepest part, the knowledge she obtains was close to none since she doesn't dare venture too far from Issei's side.

They start focusing their information gathering on the upper star realm and also because of this that their range of information gathering becomes thinner... making them forget about the lower star realm.

Someone who's presumably above the u003cDivine Master Realmu003e is far too important to disregard...

Qianye Fantian started to formulate a plan to rope Issei into their side... Presenting Qianye Ying'er as a 'gift' seems plausible at first but when she told her father that Issei doesn't feel attracted by her beauty, he becomes amazed...

They didn't know what they're doing is nothing but a fool errand at this point since Issei already views the Brahma Monarch G.o.d Realm as a dead man walking.

"It's exactly as Master said, woman. Master is the ruler of darkness and also other elements in existence. He's even above this 'heaven' your world inhabitants worship!" Esdeath said with a prideful face after she emerged from the u003cGoBu003e along with Altair and Sirius.

Chi Wuyao and the nine witches are not that surprised seeing them appearing out of nowhere since this is not the first time they met. Chi Wuyao has to admit that these three women's beauty is on par with her.

"Oh?" 'Your world?' Chi Wuyao caught on Esdeath's words.

"And why would Master need you and your weak realm when he's the ruler of his original world? His true army is far more powerful than you could possibly imagine and that includes his real strength." Altair added with a smirk.

"...Stop bothering Master." Sirius simply said.

The three of them stand between Chi Wuyao and Issei.

"...Is that so?" Chi Wuyao said with a smile. To say that she's not surprised would be a lie but she has grown accustomed to a certain extent... and she also expected this as well seeing how powerful he is. It would be weirder if his ident.i.ty is not a ruler...

But what did she say? His 'original' world... So that means that he is not from this world...

Not really surprising either since he basically appeared out of nowhere. With that kind of strength, he ought to become the center of attention in no time if he were to show his face to the public.

...

The coronation ceremony then went on without a cinch. Since Issei won't be attending the coronation, Chi Wuyao relayed the order that she will take his place for safekeeping.

"Devil Queen!"

On the Soul Sky Warship, the Witches, the Soul Spirits, and the Soul Attendants kneeled down and cried out Chi Wuyao's t.i.tle respectfully.

When she took another step, the Moon Eaters and the profound pract.i.tioners of the Burning Moon Realm also kneeled on their flagship in deference and respect.

When she reached the center of the road of darkness, it was the Yama Devils and Yama Ghosts' turn to kneel on their flagship.

"Devil Queen!"

Three flagships had escorted Chi Wuyao. Three king realms had kneeled on the day of their master's coronation.

To the profound pract.i.tioners of the Northern Divine Region, it was an honor to be able to meet either one of the Witches, the Moon Eaters, or the Yama Devils to say the least. But here they are gathered together to pay their respect towards the legendary Devil Queen.

To say that it was stunning would be the understatement of the century. Even the proud realm kings felt like they were dreaming right now.

Be it the denizens of the three king realms or the people of the Northern Divine Region, everyone was looking at Chi Wuyao when she came to a stop as she arrived at the top of the Temple of Heaven. It was nine hundred and ninety-nine levels tall, the tallest Temple of Heaven to ever be created in the history of the Northern Divine Region. No G.o.d emperor's coronation had even come close to surpa.s.sing this.

Above the Temple of Heaven, Chi Wuyao slowly turned around and observed the beings beneath her feet.

Was she a G.o.d empress? To others, perhaps... She was the first true Devil Master to enter the history of the Northern Divine Region after all.

But all this is only possible because of Issei's help... without him, she might never see this scene in her entire life...

There was no emotion behind her eyes, however. She looked so calm that staring at her felt like staring into a dark lake with bottomless depth.

She hadn't wanted to become the master of anything... she only wanted to lead her people to freedom, but fate has given her a blessing... a blessing of a lifetime...

From this day onward, all lives in the Northern Divine Region will be dedicated to him and him only...

Only under his leadership that they could prosper for all eternity.

All of this would just be an illusion without him. Chi Wuyao said to herself...

"We, the Yama Devil Realm, Soul Stealing Realm, and Burning Moon Realm, bow before her power, virtue, and ambition. May the supreme Devil Queen lead the three realms and the Northern Divine Region to greater heights!"

One of the realm kings said in place of the others.

"I told you that I'm not your true master... But no matter. In time, you will see what I really meant." Chi Wuyao said blandly.

They of course still don't believe about the existence of a person called "Ise". But just like Chi Wuyao said... they will see his full glory later in the future.

They waved a hand and raised the Heaven Offering Altar. An inscription appeared in front of Chi Wuyao as well.

"Please enter the Heaven Offering Altar, Devil Queen. Only the heavens and earth are worthy to bear witness to your unprecedented glory."

But Chi Wuyao didn't step forward as they said. She simply let out an indifferent chuckle and said, "Heaven?" Then she thought of what Altair said before, "Unnecessary. My Master is above the heaven themselves."

It's only a few words, but the plain disrespect that wouldn't tolerate even the heavens and earth was unmistakable.

She waved her hand, and the heaven offering inscription vanished immediately.

No one… not even the supremely arrogant G.o.d emperors had ever dared to offend the heavenly law. Until now.

The realm kings were stunned. The Soul Stealing Sacred Region was so silent that the sound of a pin hitting the ground could be heard.

To an outsider, Chi Wuyao's arrogance was entirely too much.

But n.o.body there but the nine witches knows that what she said is true. They knew… that the heavenly law truly was unworthy of Issei...

Her words were engraved into the memories of everyone who witnessed the first-ever devil master in the history of the Northern Divine Region.

Right now, the only emotion Chi Wuyao's disrespect and arrogance toward the heavenly law induced in these people was worry.

But even after waiting for a while... They didn't see a single cloud in the sky nor a single sign that the 'heaven' has been angered.

This made them become further dumbfounded... The sky is still as before... Wait... No... If anything it looks brighter than before? What's happening?

Chi Wuyao who saw this smirked to herself. It looks like it's really true... Not even the 'heaven' themselves dares to let out a single farting sound of discontent when she mentioned his 'name'... They even seem to give them a blessing!

Her eyes glimmered brightly and her conviction becomes even stronger after she realizes this.

The coronation then proceeded without the heaven offering ritual. When Yan Tianxiao, one of the realm kings finished a long speech, First Witch Jie Xin and Jie Ling flew up to Chi Wuyao to drape a cloak with the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor's symbol on it across her shoulders, and slip a jade belt with black crystals around her waist.

Three devil orbs of varying intensity were sewn into the jade belt. They contained the origin devil aura of Soul Stealing, Yama Devil, and Burning Moon. It represented Chi Wuyao's absolute control over the three king realms of the Northern Divine Region.

Then they took out the G.o.d Emperor's crown.

The crowns of all the G.o.d emperors in the Northern Divine Region had nine ta.s.sels and nine jewels on them, but her crown had twelve ta.s.sels and jewels in total. It was unprecedented in the history of the Northern Divine Region.

It was one of the many designs in this coronation ceremony Chi Wuyao had attended to personally.

The witch raised her arms and stared at the man who was the center of attention of billions of people. Feeling her even but warm breath, she gently... very gently put the crown that represented a turning point in her and the Northern Divine Region's fate on her head.

The crown was applied, and the devil master came to be. Yan Tianxiao dropped to his knees and declared loudly, "Your Magnificence!"

Everyone from the three king realms, be it on the profound ships or the Sacred Region dropped to their knees and bowed their heads deeply.

"Your Magnificence!"

"Your Magnificence!"

"Your Magnificence!"

Nearly all of the king's realms' core forces were here. They represented the absolute core of the Northern Divine Region, and their loud, soul-shattering declaration of deference caused all the realm kings and the rulers inside and outside the Sacred Region to drop to their knees as well.

After all, how could they stand when even the three king realms were on their knees?

Yan Tianxiao still didn't stand when the declaration of deference was over. He continued, "The Devil Queen is the incarnation of the Devil Emperor. The Northern Divine Region's fate is sure to change for the better with his presence."

"I, Yan Tianxiao, the Yama Devil G.o.d Emperor, and the Yama Devil Realm, are willing to bear the Devil Emperor's blessing, obey my ancestors' will, and serve the Devil Queen for eternity. The Devil Queen's order is the one absolute order. The Devil Queen's will is the will of a lifetime. If we ever defy our oath, may the heavens smite us where we stand!"

On the Burning Moon Warship, the group of Moon Eaters and Burning Moon Divine Envoys led by Fen Daoqi also swore their oath of loyalty to Chi Wuyao:

"The people of the Northern Divine Region as our witness, we, the Burning Moon Realm, swear by our souls to serve the Devil Queen for eternity. If we ever defy our oaths, may we suffer eternal tribulations and eternal death!"

"I will remember your words. My master's will is the Mandate of Heaven, and his enemy… is our sworn enemy! If you dare to go against me or my master's order... then not even the 'heaven' themselves could save you!"

*RUMBLE!!!*

Her words were a lot softer than the previous two G.o.d emperors, but her last few words still made some people feel like they had dropped suddenly into a frigid h.e.l.l.

Hundreds of flash bolt of lightning from above strike the ground in their surroundings and a bright light from the sky shone themselves upon Chi Wuyao's figure making her look more ethereal as if the Heaven themselves are backing her words!

This phenomenon made all of them become further terrified!

"Hee, she's not half bad." Esdeath who's observing from the shadow smirked at Chi Wuyao's figure.

"Heh, it doesn't matter what we think. What matters is Master's will... but I agree, this woman is not half bad." Altair said plainly.

"...Master's will is our top priority." Sirius chimed in.

""Agreed."" Esdeath and Altair nodded with a smile.

Then the three of them disappeared from where they stand... Chi Wuyao glanced at their direction slightly and let out a thin smile of her own.

Their cultivation might be lower than hers but their combat capabilities are nothing scoff at... If it was her before receiving Issei's 'blessing' then she might lose against them.

What's more, in but one week, their cultivation has risen by quite a lot. While the other profound cultivators took hundreds and even thousands of years to increase their strength, they only need a few days.

It can be seen just how terrifying her young master capability is...

...

The vast Eastern Divine Region, Star G.o.d Realm.

Jasmine was silently looking at her reflection in the mirror while Xun'er is gently combing her hair.

After inheriting the power of the Heavenly Slaughter Star G.o.d, Jasmine's age seemed to have been set. Even after so many years had pa.s.sed, she still looked the same as when she first met Issei and this made her feel vexed.

Her exterior appearance looked like any fifteen to a sixteen-year-old girl. However, her blood-red eyes seemed to exude coldness and aloofness unbefitting of her apparent age... but once in a while, her eyes will become soft and blurry.

The blood red in her eyes, and her long hair that seemed as though it had been dyed in fresh blood, seemed to have become even more vivid.

Anyone that met her gaze would feel their body turn ice cold, as though a sharp blade dyed in blood was pressing against their throat.

The face in the mirror was so perfectly exquisite that it seemed near dreamlike. The fifteen and sixteen-year-old face however did not give off any feeling of immaturity but instead seemed extremely dangerous and even exuded a soul-stirring demonic sense.

Whereas for her mother, there's an indescribable domineering aura surrounding her. Even her once gentle face and eyes turned sharper than before, making her look more beautiful than ever. Only in front of her own daughters that her face will turn gentle as it used to be.

n.o.body realizes that her rabbit ears are not mere decoration. They only thought that it's a decoration and nothing more.

"Knock knock!"

Suddenly, sounds of knocking resounded in the silent star G.o.d hall. The knocking only sounded twice and it had been very soft. It was obvious that the person knocking was being wary. Following that, the voice of an elegant male could be heard, "Royal Sister, aunty, may I come…"

"Scram!"

One ice-cold word, without any feeling or any other sort of compromise.

"...Royal sister. I am still, after all, your big brother. I have some important matters…"

"This princess only has one elder brother and he's already dead." Her voice grew gravely cold and filled with killing intent, "Do you want to die!?"

With a "bang", the person outside the hall seems to stagger in shock. When his voice sounded again, it was now shivering slightly, "Royal Sister… you really… like to joke around…"

Even before he had finished speaking, the speaker had already escaped far away in fear.

Xun'er never says anything nor does she tries to stop Jasmine. She only observes her with a smile.

Their so-called family member often tries to interact with them but the desire within their eyes are too obvious. And they find it extremely revolting...

The peace in the star G.o.d hall returned, but soon, it was disrupted by the anxious voice of a young girl.

"B-Big Sis... Aunty... I-I'm back..."

The doors to the hall were slowly being opened and a young girl with starry eyes, dressed in a seven-colored dress, slowly walk forward until she was in front of Jasmine.

It was none other than Princess Caizhi.

"Do you know your mistake!?" Jasmine growled at her.

"I-I... But I only wanted to see what's brother-in-law looks like..." Caizhi retorted in a weak voice.

"You're still trying to deny it?!"

"But... But big sis, I have to agree that big brother is very suitable for you! The two of you together is like a match made in heaven!"

"...Really?" Jasmine went silent for a moment before she asked in a shy voice.

"O-Of course, of course!" Caizhi who saw that her plan is working, immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice. But she was briefly taken aback seeing the shy Jasmine just now.

"...Wait! Don't try to distract me!" Just when Jasmine's tone turned a lot softer with her cheeks reddening, she somehow snapped out of her daze and shouted at Caizhi.

Caizhi who saw that her plan has been seen through, immediately hid behind Xun'er.

"Aunty save me!"

"Get back here! Haven't I continuously told you that no matter what happens in the future, you're not allowed to decide on matters yourself!"

Caizhi was so scared that her heart pounded repeatedly and her voice instantly became meek, "I… I did promise that I would listen to Big Sis, but… But, I was feeling really curious..."

"Alright, dear... just forgive your little sister already."

"But mother!"

"So what do you think of Ise, Zhi'er?" Xun'er asked Caizhi while still smiling ignoring the fuming Jasmine in the background.

"Him? Well... I admit that he's strong but..." Caizhi replied while feeling unsure.

"But?" Xun'er repeated.

"I don't really see anything special other than his strength?" Caizhi said while tilting her head.

"Hehehe, that's because you still haven't properly got to know him." Xun'er said with a giggle: "And seeing your reaction, you clearly haven't seen his face yet. I'm sure that with his looks alone, he could cause the downfall of realms. Those female Divine Masters would do anything to get their hands on him..."

Xun'er started enticing Caizhi with her words.

But they won't be able to do so since he's far stronger than anyone else that has ever existed in this world. Xun'er added inside her mind...

"Really? He's that good looking?" Caizhi said half doubtful half curious. She has been told before that Issei is extremely good looking before but she doesn't really believe it unless she sees it with her own eyes.

"Hmph! It's better if you see him with your own eyes later on." Jasmine scoffed: "But for now... you still need to be punished for going against my words! Now come here!" Jasmine seized the chance when Caizhi let her guard down.

"Ahh! Aunty!" Caizhi's face turned pale seeing that she has been caught. She screamed in terror asking for Xun'er help.

Plak! Plak! Plak!

Soon, a sound of light slapping could be heard in the hall...

"Awww! Forgive me big sis!"

Xun'er giggled lightly seeing their interaction.

...

A golden figure slowly descended from the sky to land in the u003cG.o.d Realm of Absolute Beginningu003e once again...

This figure is none other than Qianye Ying'er, the very same woman that Issei 'saved' in the past.

She aimlessly wanders around the land trying to catch the figure she has been searching for.

Whether by fate or luck... she managed to catch a glimpse of him once again.

Issei can be seen standing above the body of a profound beast.

Countless other dead bodies scattered around him. It almost took everything from a u003cDivine Masteru003e to kill any of these beasts but here he is killing hundreds of them while unharmed...

Issei has his eyes closed while a red and purple aura is oozing out from his body.

As for Qianye Ying'er, she had her eyes locked onto his figure not making any sound fearing of disturbing him... he was right in front of her, only a few steps away from her at that.

Just like Issei doesn't wear his mask right now, Qianye Ying'er also doesn't wear her mask.

Qianye Ying'er's charming and dewy lips unintentionally curved up when she found Issei.

Her intuition is telling her that he should be here and it's proven to be right...

Even though he's already this powerful but he still doesn't stop his training. Truly a splendid man... She thought to herself.

After a while, Qianye Ying'er's golden eyes faintly narrowed while possessive light flashed within her eyes: 'He must be mine! Only he's worthy enough to be my, Qianye Ying'er, man!'

"...What do you want?" Issei finally opened his eyes and asked Qianye Ying'er.

"I just wanted to thank you for saving my life." Qianye Ying'er said softly.

"I accept your grat.i.tude. If there's nothing else, you can leave." Issei said calmly.

"...Is there a chance for me to invite you to my realm? Allow me to thank you properly. Even though the treasures in my realm is not as great if it's compared to this place treasures, they're still one of a kind. Perhaps your excellency could find something he finds fancy over there?" Qianye Ying'er continues to entice him.

"I don't need it." Issei denied her invitation immediately.

"Then... let me stay here instead. To properly repay you." Qianye Ying'er insisted.

"..." Issei frowned a little before he decided to just completely ignores her.

The more Issei denies her advances, the more 'infatuated' Qianye Ying'er becomes... Just like a moth to a flame.

If anyone from the G.o.d Realm were to saw this scene, they would've had their jaws dropped to the ground directly.

The Eternal Heaven G.o.d Realm, the Star G.o.d Realm, the Moon G.o.d Realm, or any other realm would be shocked to their core.

Their reactions would be no less inferior to the ones exhibited during the nine-stage lightning tribulation.

What sort of existence was Qianye Ying'er?

The daughter of the Brahma Heaven G.o.d Emperor, the G.o.d Realm's "G.o.ddess", be her fame in the G.o.d Realm or her power within the Brahma Monarch G.o.d Realm, she wasn't beneath the Brahma Heaven G.o.d Emperor at all.

In fact, the Brahma Heaven G.o.d Emperor had personally said that eventually the Brahma Monarch Realm King position would only be inherited by Qianye Ying'er!

When it came to status, she was currently the daughter of the Brahma Heaven G.o.d Emperor and the future Brahma Monarch Realm King.

When it came to looks, she was mentioned in the same breath as the "Dragon Queen", both being known as the two greatest beauties of the G.o.d Realm. It was rumored that just laying eyes on her once, would cause everything else to lose color… forever.

When it came to profound cultivation, she was definitely invincible among the peers of her generation… Rumor had it that she was actually, already, not far in terms of power from her father.

Qianye Ying'er was perfect in all aspects, whether it be position, cultivation, or looks.

She was the epitome of perfection, literally the embodiment of a "G.o.ddess".

As for the Dragon Queen whose name was usually said in conjunction with hers, she was the Dragon Monarch's wife… and the Dragon Monarch was the current number one expert in the G.o.d Realm!

The current number one expert was a match for the Dragon Queen...

Throughout the years, several profound pract.i.tioners were all guessing and fantasizing about who would get the "G.o.ddess" in the end… or rather, was there any man out there in this world that was a match for the "G.o.ddess"?

Being able to have the foundations to court Qianye Ying'er, what kind of monster of a man would be able to!?

Star G.o.ds… Moon G.o.ds… Guardians… The sons of G.o.d emperors… even the realm kings of the king realms! No one so far had moved Qianye Ying'er.

Yet right now, that very same "G.o.ddess" is trying her best just to get a man's attention!

This would've been the most absurd occurrence they had ever heard of, or experienced in their entire lives.

Those experts would've feel jealousy and hatred towards Issei if they were to know of this.

Qianye Ying'er started to observe the profound beasts that have fallen more closely. It seems that they all died without actual injuries to their exterior bodies... She doesn't know how he did it but it can be seen that they all died without being able to fight back.

An intact body of a profound beast of the absolute beginning... It would be a priceless treasure in its own right.

But Qianye Ying'er doesn't have any intention of taking any of them for herself since she doesn't want to annoy Issei even further.

Issei aura sometimes changes its color... red... purple... black... blue... white... gold...

Oddly enough, it seems very natural... the multi-colored aura compliments each other or co-existing in a peaceful state.

The sight of those auras is quite hypnotic to say nonetheless.

At the same time, on Issei's surrounding, whenever the corresponding color appeared, an element presented themselves... when it's blue that appears, ice started emerging all around him... if it's red, then it's flame... black, its darkness... white, it's light and so on...

There are some elements that she didn't recognize mixed here and there as well.

Qianye Ying'er expression becomes shocked whenever she witness the varying elements that appear in one place and yet they didn't counterbalance each other.

Just who is he?! Qianye Ying'er wondered to herself... Is he the Heretic G.o.d himself? But that's not possible... For one, the Heretic G.o.d can't control the light element, and also, the picture of the Heretic G.o.d doesn't even come close to Issei's.

But there's no use wondering to herself... it's better if she does something else...

When she thought till here, Qianye Ying'er started thinking just what else she could do to garner Issei's attention...

But soon she came to a blank realization... other than her beauty, background, and cultivation... there's nothing else that she could offer Issei with since those things are deemed useless by him...

Flaunting her ident.i.ty is of no use either. Seduce him? It seems more unlikely considering he's not enticed by her beauty.

As for threatening him? That thought never crossed her mind even once unless she's trying to court death itself.

However, giving up was not Qianye Ying'er style. She started to observe Issei more closely than before trying to discover his interest...

...

In the u003cSnow Song Realmu003e

Great Elder Mu Huanzhi was in the front and Mu Bingyun was by his side. Behind them were eight elders and palace masters of the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect. Standing at the back of the elders and palace masters was a big group of young disciples of the sect. Six to seven hundred of them could be seen just at a glance. Looking at their attire, they are obviously the disciples from the Ice Phoenix Divine Hall.

These disciples from the Divine Hall had an extremely heavy frost aura on their bodies. They had all reached the u003cDivine Tribulation Realmu003e.

They were the very best disciples of this generation in the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect, as well as the future of the sect. Until now that is...

"We respectfully greet sect master." The moment Mu Xuanyin stepped out of her palace, all the elders, palace masters and disciples bent the upper half of their bodies and kneeled down. Their heads were in direct contact with the snow on the ground, but they didn't move in the slightest before Mu Xuanyin gave permission.

"Get up," Mu Xuanyin said, as she swept her spirit sense across the bodies of all present: "Huanzhi, our honored guest is currently away. Go to his lodging and make sure that those 'girls' have everything they need. The time for the convention is coming closer as we speak."

"Understood!" Mu Huanzhi replied.

Issei informed Mu Bingyun that he will be away for a while. Mu Bingyun relayed his words to Mu Xuanyin.

"Tanzhi, Yunque, Canfeng…" These names Mu Xuanyin called were the cornerstones of the future of their sect. She started to say some encouraging words towards them...

"There's no need to be too compet.i.tive, you just need to make sure to safely return. Naturally, it'd be best if we could get some positive results. Take note of how those 'special' sisters of yours do things when the time comes... It will surely benefit you a lot if you could somehow gain something from them."

"We understand, sect master!"

"Good. You can leave now."

Mu Xuanyin flicked her snow-white sleeve, immediately causing wind and snow to blow through their location and sweep them away, high in the sky, onto the profound ark that had been stationed there for a long time.

The profound ark activated and pierced through the multiple layers of heavy snow and cold wind as it flew straight to the southern region of the Snow Song Realm.

Looking at the profound ark flying into the distance, the coldness in the eyes of Mu Xuanyin melted away bit by bit…

"This year Profound G.o.d convention... I have a feeling that there will be a great change that will happen..." She muttered to herself: "Given 'his' involvement... I wonder just how many star realm that will start flooding into our realm in the future once they saw those girls prowess... *sigh* it's going to be hard to deny access to all those old farts..."

"Feixue, you should pay close attention as well later on." Mu Xuanyin said to Mu Feixue who's already waiting for her in the ark.

"Yes, Master."

There was no change to the external appearance of Mu Feixue, as she still looked like a G.o.ddess that had come out of a picture scroll made of ice and snow. But she seemed to have become even chillier. Even someone a mere few steps away couldn't detect the slightest sign of emotion from her. Only her chilly intention of keeping people at a good distance could be felt.

She received some 'pointers' from Issei albeit indirectly. Mu Bingyun often observes Issei's teaching method after all.

Of course, that doesn't mean Mu Bingyun didn't ask for Issei's permission first. Only after Issei gives his permission that Mu Bingyun told Mu Xuanyin about it...

Mu Huanzhi looked a bit complicated, "As the sect master said earlier, you don't need to be too compet.i.tive this time… In short, just do your best and pay close attention to the ongoing fight. You'll only get such an opportunity once in your life. At least, don't fail to live up to your talents and the hardships you went through all these years."

"Understood!" All the disciples replied together.

Other elders and palace masters had complicated looks on their faces. Then, their gazes shifted in the direction of Issei's lodging.

Back then, when the voice of Eternal Heaven was transmitted to every corner of the Eastern Divine Region, it was destined for the unusual Profound G.o.d Convention this time to influence the mentality of all the star realms. Given the unprecedented opportunity to enter the Eternal Heaven Pearl, there was no doubt that all the star realms would spare no effort to send as many disciples as possible to the Profound G.o.d Convention.

It was the same for the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect. Not long after the voice of Eternal Heaven, the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake was opened to the young disciples on a large scale for the first time in the history of the sect.

Divine Ice Phoenix Sect had also started preparing for the Profound G.o.d Convention in an extreme hurry. All the elders and palace masters firmly believed that after ordering the opening of the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake to the young generation of the sect, Mu Xuanyin would certainly pay a lot more attention to the Profound G.o.d Convention, and she might even personally instruct the divine hall disciples.

But they were left baffled when Mu Xuanyin didn't bother any further with the matter of Profound G.o.d Convention. Especially during the past few weeks... she had thrown all responsibility on Mu Huanzhi and Mu Bingyun. She didn't say or ask a thing concerning the Profound G.o.d Convention which was regarded with extreme importance by all the star realms.

As for the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake, it was never again opened for any disciples except for Mu Feixue. But even the, Mu Feixue progress seems lacking if they're compared to Xia Qingyue's group...

But this made one thing clear to them for sure, in the eyes of Mu Xuanyin, Xia Qingyue's group performance in the Profound G.o.d Convention was more important than that of all the other people of the sect combined.

It's not that they can't understand her intention but... can they really 'comprehend' their strength when the time comes? If their honored guest were to personally teach their disciples... can they reach the same height as Xia Qingyue's group? Alas...

They can only hope that their glory will be their sect glory as well.

The scenes of Issei commanding those ice spirits and the 'scene' of him defeating three Divine Sovereign in mere seconds even though he's still a Divine King Realm cultivator were still vivid in their minds. They absolutely had no doubts that a person such as him would receive special treatment by Mu Xuanyin, and no one found it odd either.

It was like how the disciples of the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect were divided into four ranks – Divine Hall, Ice Phoenix Palace, Freezing Snow Hall, and Snowfall Palace. The higher the talent of a disciple, the more resources and better treatment they enjoyed. It was a fact that was true everywhere in the Primal Chaos and it could be considered the most basic rule.

"Ah, it's such a pity." Mu Huanzhi let out a heavy sigh. "This Profound G.o.d Convention is being held at a very early date. If it were to happen two or three hundred thousand years later, perhaps my Snow Song Realm would again have someone make their name known to all at the Profound G.o.d Convention, like Sect Master in the past... Even Feixue would've reaches greater heights than she is now..."

All of them nodded in agreement with his words...

...

The three tiny troublemakers were sleeping per usual but both Bai'er and Hong'er suddenly woke up with a startle and they keep gazing at the sky for some reason...

"Mmm, big sis?" Nyaruko who sensed their movement rubbed her eyes and called out.

But both of them ignored Nyaruko and keep gazing at the sky...

Nyaruko is feeling confused seeing their current condition. She repeatedly called their names until she finally gave up and called for Issei instead: "Father!"

Issei who heard Nyaruko's voice had his eyes snapped open and he immediately disappeared from where he stood, leaving behind the stupefied Qianye Ying'er.

Esdeath's group is still at Chi Wuyao's place while Xiaotao and Lieyan are with Caiyi and Xue'er. Only Naru and Zin are still within the u003cGoBu003e but even they didn't know what to do with the current predicament...
