Luna POV
I frowned as I waved my hand as she attacked barrier yet again. This was already the 8th time Ling Yue in her unaware state attacked me. Much to my surprise she actually had her claws tip go through my barrier. Making me sigh since I should finish this as early as possible I don’t want to see her dying a 2nd time in this timeline. Actually I never mentioned it to the time fairy since her job is just to manage space in that closed space and the dungeon space times. For each dead dungeons the doors close and are unlit. Since this process might hurt if Ling Yue was fully aware, I didn’t want her to so I sent her mind straight to Leira. My hand glowed as I held her other half of her soul. This part of her died due to my mistake, the current her is living on borrowed time her mother use to extend her life in exchange with her own.
Of course Ling Yue wouldn’t remember the incident of a fire dragon eating her half alive. It glowed brightly like a blue fire being lit in my hand joyfully. Returning what was supposed to be along with her level, class and titles that were soul bound to this part is but my duty. I was at fault for not being careful enough to let his dogs (men) reach her at age 180. Seeing the soul above her slowly go in as I pushed my hand through her body due to a forbidden technique long lost Arte. Only 5 people in each era can use Forbidden Artes without having consequences on their bodies. I for one am not of them but it’s due to my race changing so much that I myself am unaffected by such Forbidden Artes even if I use them.
I stopped my hand from going through her head completely but I could hear the of bells as if someone was hitting a temple bell. So I released my hand immediately when I see two figures overlapping as if they were in transparent water. Yet the silver hair on both of them told her it was no other than both Ling Yue’s coming together. But now that I can remember bits and pieces from the past this room was a important memory of mine too.
“Say Luna, what does it mean to resonate a soul of a living person and the other half that died in her place. Would she feel that she’s missing a chunk of her or would she be able to live knowing that a loved one revive her at a cost of their life span.”
“If I were in that situation I’d be angered knowing that they risked themselves for me. I wouldn’t allow them to do so then sister.” (Luna)
The scene faded away but that bright smile of the young teenager never faded. Because that was when she was forced to use her life for many in their current home. She was a siscon who loved me dearly. Yet the cost was higher than anything, especially her choice of using the destruction Phoenix 2nd generation when she was still alive. The rest were carried out by will making the current me overpowered. Sister altered my race completely to something similar to a destruction Phoenix but more powerful and a newly made race. The destruction Phoenix had eidetic memory, access to the soul system. They can use the soul system to check who is alive (white name on the screen), who’s forgotten or lost (crossed out), those who died (grey names) and they can check a summary of the person’s information. That’s all they can do as a destruction Phoenix but their power is massive as well they can actually use creation magic as well. Yes these racial traits all added together is overpowering.
“I who found out through my sister’s letter, yet I don’t know what I’m fully capable of. It was I who brought this to you, I who existed since far before these and the lower worlds were made. This place may now be my home that I fight for. It’s the place that I had her make a verbal promise without realizing the consequences of us two making promises. If broken the consequences can be more dire than this world needs. Ling Yue wake up fully and realize that the current you has no time for games nor this disaster waiting for you from the other side of the board. He’s sent his wild card out.” (Luna)
I have no time for this little wolf demon, I’ve been at this game with him since as long as I can remember since that gods era. But from what sister said this game has extended farther than that since we were little. He too existed then but wasn’t at odds at us yet. He only felt threaten a little later before the Realms (worlds) were mesh together by Yu Mei. She was the one who established the upper world here where we lived. Yu Mei in grief created the Realms but she herself was a creator. Her race is created from life energy, their counter parts is the opposite that is made from negative emotions of other races and negative energy created that’s about to burst. The opposing race staying in one place too long can cause natural disasters, epidemic, plagues and unnatural phenomenon that humans can considered stranger than weather storms.
Our race rankings goes like this: Humans > Demihumans > vampires > spirits (I already explained this race earlier how they’re often sensitive to being mistaken as vampires due to their pale skins) > demons > angels (6 pairs of wing or more are considered worlds disaster so they are often hunted down by others if seen) > spellcastors (a race created due to someone’s greed for unlimited mana reserves) > dragons > race changer (they’re a minor race evolved from shapeshifters) > Phoenixes > death and life masters (humans with these powers at birth) > leviathans> soul reapers > gods and goddesses > Fates > holy beasts > creators & destroyers > Dimensions (always female born, later generations is 99% chance being born as female. They’re walking living existences that empowered by the race and different worlds inside them. They love exploring our current world. This also counts as the one of the upper three world and there are lower worlds below this one) > God > chaos beast
The races were created after she mixed the worlds all into one mixing different era into our current world as a result. Which also caused the worlds to coexist through the skies. Yet that man only interfered after she made this place which my sister now call home. My eyes went to the floating glowing silver light orb that absorbed Ling Yue inside. Actually I only met Yu Mei once and her words stuck to me. But it’s probably due to me being older than most things she made and let nature run its course for the races to be created.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
“Indeed I didn’t expect to see so much traces of sister’s will in the current Ling Yue’s other half of her soul with me.”
It glowed so brightly like a light being lit inside a dark cavern. It makes me uneasy because I’ve never seen someone so brightly like this. Well except those three angel sisters but theirs was at three different point. Hima’s was when she was a demon, it was a beautiful purple light like a star shining ever so brightly. Hina was when she was a princess before she became an angel. And Setsuna’s was both her princess until the part of her falling from grace to a fallen angel when her sister’s died and she killed both instigators of the war. After that was Leive who looked like a firecracker ready to burst.
“People who changed our historical values and lives even if they don’t know it. When things go wrong and it can’t be changed it means it’s supposed to happen. But Ling Yue nearly dying early due to my mistake is my fault. The bastard isn’t stupid either he’s been trying to search for her half of the soul I had with me.”
My hand went to my necklace that I had on my neck, it’s a blue moonlight crystal that absorbs mana. A final gift before sister died but hid here in her own temple. As for her will she implanted into historical figures allows her to leave treasures through them as well as mini clues and message. But her soul itself was never found in this era or the last few ones. It angered me how he chased her out like that. I clenched my fists when I remembered he had dragged Ling Yue into our cold war in the valley. He had literally used a ice demon race as his medium to play with me and sent a fake message to Ling Yue that I was in trouble. When I came to my senses I smiled since I knew I should leave the place before she wakes up, it’s been 6 hours and 49 mins already she’ll wake soon. Knowing Ling Yue, she’d want to explore the place for me. But even I don’t wish to involve her in my almost infinite war with that jerk.
“Life will always run its course even if it’s in the wrong path. What will happen will happen needless of your worries.” (Yu Mei)
“I didn’t expect to see you again once I walked into this forest.” (Luna)
“I see that you’re worrying again.” (Yu Mei)
“Then I apologize for having such an overpowered overlord like you who can easily kill other races with a flick of a finger.” (Luna)
“But Luna you don’t see me doing so right, besides the only two who I couldn’t read their mind was your sister and you. Actually I’ve been searching for centuries too for my two younger sisters but I can’t seem to find them.” (Yu Mei)
“Even me with my wide range of information there is no news on these two souls. I apologize if I cannot help you.” (Luna)
I stared at her silver sash around her waist as her black armor glowed like the burning flames in the moon light. It had somehow become night by the time I was done with what I had to do to help Ling Yue.
“You did ask me to teach you those two Forbidden Artes after all, were they of use to you Luna.” (Yu Mei)
If anything her hair color had darkened due to her grieve of losing both her sisters. Sure she’s a high class noble like lady but she had this deep sadness within her.
“Using the Half Soul Healing Forbidden Arte really makes me wonder, how did you keep that half of her alive for so long.” (Yu Mei)
Right that Forbidden Arte you had to nourish the soul with energy or another source. In my case I poured a lot of divine aura and different auras in. Auras if used right can actually bring back a dead person or can cure terminal illnesses. Actually it’s uses are many if the current ones knew how to use them. Those skills were lost along with the Phoenixes ancestors died out. It’s also why they casted that spell that ended up with me as the center of the spell. They casted it so that their future generations would be hidden among the normal citizens in our current world unless they were influenced by a tragedy that made them lose their loved ones. In which case it’s due to that that their descendants have such a cheat ability to reincarnate and be able to use their other incarnations powers and abilities.
“I used aura to keep her alive.” (Luna)
“Really, it’s rare that you a divine know how to use something long lost that only the destruction Phoenix would know. A race long extinct during the gods era due to another unknown race that popped up at that time.”
I gave a stiff smile as she walked off, her hair color was a dark purple blue now. Rather I actually like her with her lighter hair color since she looks kinder and more gentle. Yet that also led to her sisters being killed by her since they kinda did go insane over a man who tricked them. So she in that situation was forced to end both her sisters before it ended with the consequences of other worlds dying. An era before our current home where we are living in too.
“You and I are not much different now that I think about it. Yu Mei, you search for your sisters for centuries even if they no longer remember you. While I my best to fix what my sister tried to protect due my own mistake. It’s also because of that I can’t make any promises verbally or say a such words. Because going back on them would make this world and the current me unstable. I too also search for bits and pieces of memories that I forgot. Through memory crystals (holograms of the past events) I can see that it was true at some point. As to where the next one is even I have no idea where she left it.” (Luna)
I mean like it’s unpredictable if you remember bits slowly or after a few centuries or so and the place has totally changed. Like it was a desert when you last came there, but when you arrive after such a long time all you see is ocean everywhere. It’s kinda annoying to have to go for a swim to look for something that small. Memory crystals are a little bigger than a teenager’s fist. They’re considered small compared to searching a whole ocean for it. It’s like searching for a needle in field. Which reminds me the soul scroll sister sent was different from the usual, it can also send message one sidedly to me. Instead of like the magic scroll. But even if I sent her one she won’t respond back because her situation doesn’t allow her to.
Plus it’s dangerous if she tries reading god language out loud. Imagine trying to load a explosion on a scale of a tall building but in bigger range. If she reads the words it’d set off such a reaction wherever she maybe. It’s actually dangerous to use verbally that’s also why we don’t use it here on a daily basis and use other language. Sure we can use it to write but reading it out loud. It’s like handing a child an huge artillery in the size of huge bomb. I heard a loud thud coming from sister’s temple, which I guess Ling Yue is now up. Also I don’t want her to see me since she’d ask me to involve her in my war.
I don’t need to have someone else fight for me even if I know the other side has more man power than me. Rather I will do things my way and try to keep Ling Yue safe. I’m gone soft since I saw her as a baby when her mother brought her to my palace (sister’s former place) as a 2 year old baby. A sigh escaped me, I will watch her from a far like a mother would since her mother asked me to be her godmother. Her mother (LY’s mother) called me aunt due to her mother’s instance. In my own way I will also take care of you since I owe your mother that much.
“For each their own, in life lessons you still have much to learn. Being soft to your father and harder on yourself isn’t going to help. You’ve been at it for 1000 and more years it’s high time you fought back Ling Yue.”
Even I can see that she’s being forced by a means to the end. It’s like when your pushing a cornered rat hard thinking it won’t bite back no matter what. Tori really knew how to make a mess when it came to family. It makes me frown when I think about it. Ling Yue is not the first after all he did try to kill his own older brother secretly. But the huge difference was that his brother didn’t care because those bugs or people sent could easily be killed.
“As they say a wolf like that can not become a sheep. I can only offer you a place to stay and train as for if you can find sister’s notes and items are up to you Ling Yue.”
A moonlit night indeed, I wonder how Artemis is doing, I haven’t seen her since that hunt that she chased down that fire drake into the ghost valley. It’s been such a long time, maybe I’ll go looking for her.
