Chapter 302: Goddess of Death Nuyi
Above Youdu, Daoyi’s gestating divine avatar floated quietly. After Tianyi had integrated the Spectral Rising Jewel fragment taken from the Begonia Boddhisattva, the gestation speed increased dramatically.
The five-colored glow illuminating it had receded, making it appear like a regular gray stone. It didn’t even emit an aura of death anymore, and aside from Tianyi, the master of the Nine Heavens Universe, and Daoyi, the main body of the divine avatar, no one, not even Sitian, could detect it was anything but a regular stone—if you ignored it floating above Youdu.
In the next moment, clouds began to gather above Youdu as if in preparation for a heavy storm or hurricane. At the eye of the storm was the stone, still seemingly ordinary, but the next moment, an oppressive aura descended.
If any mortal were present, they would have died directly. Even those with strong will would fall under the illusion that they died, and the illusion would become a reality from pure belief.
Essence qi of death exuded from the gray stone, coloring it pitch black with a hint of white. Under this essence qi that only immortal sovereigns should possess, even immortals would be affected. The essence qi of death would snuff out any vitality contained within their body; their body might begin to rot directly.
The essence qi of death transformed into black beams that radiated off of the gestating avatar. When it struck the land around Youdu, the aura of death increased, and it even shot out into the Vast Void. A few beams even struck the other heavens.
Under Tianyi’s control, the clouds above those heavens condensed and formed a barrier against the beams of death.
Inside Fan City, numerous residents fell onto their knees as they prayed upon feeling the aura of death. Did they anger the Goddess of Death somehow?
Despite it being day, the constellation of a woman with the lower half of a snake appeared in the sky. With each passing second, the stars making it up shone brighter, and the image of the goddess of death became more corporeal.
While the residents of Fan City prostrated themselves, Ziye especially since she saw it as an omen, Dong Chifang frowned as he stared at the constellation of death.
He wasn’t as ignorant as the former denizens of the Demon Cage Realm. As a denizen of the Huang Realm and sworn brother of San Jiuling, he was privy to numerous pieces of information and secrets unknown to loose cultivators and weaker sects.
During the Primordial Era, stars represented powerful positions and experts, especially in the Immortal Court. All of them were under the jurisdiction of the North Great Emperor of Polaris, who ruled all the heavenly stars. However, that was during the era of the Primordial Era when the Immortal Court still existed.
Did he somehow travel back to the Primordial Era, or did someone establish the Immortal Court again?
The giant gray stone ignored the reaction of all life inside the Nine Heavens Universe—not that there was much in the first place—and continued to cause the environment on Fourth Heaven to change.
When the aura of death reached the other half of Fourth Heaven, it miraculously transformed into an aura of life. This abundant aura fed the Fusang Tree, causing it to grow at an increased rate.
After four days and four nights, a crack appeared on the gray stone.
Two silver rays pierced out of the crack and into the infinite void before stopping on two celestial objects.
Tianyi saw that they’d been infected with the Law of Death and now emanated a deathly aura. He waved his hands, and the two celestial objects disappeared. When they reappeared, they were orbiting Fourth Heaven as its new moons.
The aura of death started to subtly increase, faintly showing signs of overpowering the aura of vitality and breaking the delicate balance that had been maintained. Tianyi allowed it to happen since it would benefit Daoyi’s divine avatar, and he could always adjust it later.
After Fourth Heaven gained two moons and the two silver rays disappeared, the hatching of the divine avatar stopped for a moment as it shed its gray color and turned pure white, like condensed moonlight. Once the moment passed, the hatching resumed.
Once the crack became large enough, a jade white hand emerged. It appeared more tender than a baby’s skin and more dazzling than the most beautiful pearls.
‘What is wrong with me. Was Nuyi formed from the Law of Beauty or something and not the Law of Death... or am I awakening to a weird fetish?’ Tianyi halted his thoughts there. Better not think about it any deeper.
When Nuyi stepped into Youdu Palace, she slid to the throne hall and sat upon the elevated throne, which had also increased in size. Normally, Empress Ping or Emperor Fengdu sat on that throne, but that was in the Three Thousand Immortals Realm System. Now, this throne belonged to Nuyi, the goddess of death christened by the master of the Nine Heavens Universe, Xi Tianyi.
“From now on, I will be Empress Nuyi,” Nuyi said from her throne, and her voice echoed throughout Fourth Heaven, even though every living being was already in the throne room.
“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” Tianyi said, turning to Daoyi.
“Wouldn’t you?” She returned.
Tianyi sighed. He could never win a verbal argument with her. He waved his hand, and the Heaven Bearing Seal floated to Empress Nuyi.
The Heaven Bearing Seal contained the Law of Life and Law of Death, but it didn’t contain the Law of Samsara. Only Empress Ping controlled the Law of Samsara, which was one reason why the Heaven Bearing Emperor was an empty title.
Still, the Law of Life contained within was useful to Daoyi. Since Nuyi was Daoyi’s avatar, everything Nuyi learned would be reflected in Daoyi. Nuyi’s strength and soul also surpassed Daoyi’s now, so it was better for Nuyi to hold the Heaven Bearing Seal, not to mention that the Heaven Bearing Seal could not leave the Nine Heavens Universe once they returned to their original timeline.
As for the Three Lives Stone, Tianyi kept it on Ninth Heaven and studied it too. It didn’t contain the Law of Life or the Law of Death, but it contained the Law of Samara. Surprisingly, parts of the Law of Spacetime made up the Law of Samsara, giving Tianyi an entry point.
Tianyi and Daoyi left Youdu and even Fourth Heaven. They returned to Ninth Heaven. With Empress Nuyi there, Daoyi didn’t need to stay on Fourth Heaven.
“I’ve been meaning to ask, where did you get that half of the Spectral Rising Jewel from?” Daoyi asked.
Tianyi summarized how he got it and asked a question himself. “Aside from the Great Detacher of Emotions, do you know anyone else who could have held a fragment of the Spectral Rising Jewel?”
Daoyi shook her head. “Aside from him, no one. But, it’s not impossible for them to hide it from me if their strength is far above mine. With my current strength, I might be able to sense them.”
Tianyi nodded. “Great Detacher of Emotions and the Begonia Boddhisattva, do they have some sort of relationship?”
When he returned to the Buzhou Immortal Sect of his timeline, it would be best to report this as soon as possible.
Daoyi sat down and started comprehending the Law of Life. Although her divine avatar made faster progress, her participation should still increase speed. She was beginning to feel insecure.
This had nothing to do with love, but if there was too much difference of strength between two parties, then the weaker side had no right, especially in the Huang Realm where might was justice.
Tianyi, for his part, tested Empress Nuyi”s effect on the Nine Heavens Universe. With his blessing, she could command the power of the Nine Heavens Universe, significantly increasing her strength. She could be considered a partial master of the Nine Heavens Universe, but Tianyi could retract that authorization easily.
Furthermore, Tianyi discovered that he might be able to control Empress Nuyi. As long as he wills it, Empress Nuyi will become his avatar.
Everything in the Nine Heavens Universe is him, including any life. With a thought, they can become another copy of him. Even if they don’t, he could decide their life and death on a whim.
Such an ability sent shivers down Tianyi’s spine, even though he was the master of this ability. Having discovered another facet of his control of the Nine Heavens Universe, he began to focus on rebuilding his body.
In the Nether Realm of the Silent Lightning Timeline, the tiny bits and pieces of Tianyi’s flesh regrouped to form a small sphere. The heavenly punishment had ended, so Tianyi didn’t need to focus on defending against that.
The small sphere had tiny stars glittering within and pulsing like a heart. Slowly, ever so slowly, the sphere began to grow larger and attained mass.
