Chapter 482: Sole Sovereign of Eternity: The Aijiaozhu

“♫~ Isn’t this little Meiyi?”

Before the person even arrived, that unmistakably pink, roguish voice drifted over from afar, causing Raiden Meiyi, still in a daze, to unconsciously widen her eyes.

“Did Itachi miss me, Aili?”

“Aili Xiya? Aili?”

Soon, the pink rogue’s figure appeared in the courtyard, then, with clear intent, dashed straight toward her.

The Lawbringer of Rice, seeing that flash of pink, couldn’t help but subtly lift the corners of her mouth; her body naturally responded, arms opening wide in an embrace.

This sight made Qimao’s already slightly green face tighten into a tiny fist.

Originally, her own Meiyi was already showing signs of being snatched away by that old creep—now another one shows up?

If this is tolerable… even the End Worm cannot tolerate it!!

But.

Now, the End Worm, watching the original one already fling herself into Meiyi’s arms, still held back.

There was no choice—she, the End Lawbringer, could rage at everyone else, yet could never muster any anger toward this Original of the former civilization.

How did this current civilization come to be? How did they, the Lawbringers of this civilization, come to be? How did she become the End Lawbringer…

Back then she was clueless—could she still be ignorant now?

Without this pink rogue… this fairy, there would be no foundation for this current civilization, let alone her own Meiyi!

“Huh~”

Raiden Wangchuan Shou Meiyi watched the pink fairy step away from her side, unconsciously exhaling a faint breath—finally, this girl had the decency to move off her.

The First Envoy of Pure Beauty, seeing her Heavenly Principle smiling warmly at her arrival, couldn’t help but softly lift her lips.

Her steps grew lighter, naturally gliding behind her Heavenly Principle, replacing Raiden Meiyi’s position, and beginning a gentle massage.

Meanwhile, the pink fairy watched this scene, her joyful smile flattening slightly; she pouted outright—Who was she?

The famed pink fairy.

Whenever she wanted, no girl was beyond her reach—but since arriving at the Star Coronet Court, nearly every girl she fancied turned out to be an impenetrable fortress…

How long had she been lingering beside this Hades version of Meiyi?

Yet still, she couldn’t withstand that guy’s faint smile!

He just smiled like that—and instantly stole the soul right out of that Meiyi…

“Aili Xiya, I didn’t expect that after only spending this short time with my Meiyi, Itachi’ve actually settled down to cultivate?”

Hermes, watching the pink fairy’s pouting expression, felt his mood lift considerably—but when he noticed her current state, he still showed a flicker of surprise:

“Itachi… if Itachi’d just applied yourself earlier, why would Kevin even have had to save the world?”

“Not to mention Mei, Weierwei , and Meiobius forming that dream team.”

This pink fairy, the divine daughter who fell from the starry moon to the mortal realm, is primordial—the Original! This isn’t referring to the Lawbringer of Origin, but the Origin itself!!

The Origin is the Origin; the Lawbringer is the Lawbringer—these two cannot be conflated.

Just as the End is the End, and the End Lawbringer is the End Lawbringer—they are ultimately different.

Aili Xiya is truly exceptional.

She genuinely possesses the potential to single-handedly crush all Hollows, become the Sole Sovereign of Eternity—Aijiaozhu—and forge a perfect world.

If only this brat weren’t a true deadbeat…

Then there would be no former civilization, no current civilization.

“Ah~ Hahaha~”

Upon suddenly hearing praise from the man she desperately wanted to avoid, Aili Xiya let out a forced laugh, her signature musical, poetic voice instantly going off-key.

“I’m Aili Xiya! If I want to, I can accomplish anything!!”

Even as her mind grew wary, Aili Xiya instinctively crossed her arms in pride; a faint, almost imperceptible joy lit up her flower-like face.

Though the pink fairy was deeply wary of this Pure Beauty, her primordial, superhuman sensitivity constantly sensed the overwhelming, all-encompassing beauty embodied by Pure Beauty—beauty so potent it made the pink fairy want to fly straight into it like a moth to flame.

So even as her body pulled her little Meiyi away, her legs unconsciously drifted closer toward Hermes…

When she finally snapped back to awareness, her radiant, petal-like smile froze solid.

“Aaaahhhhh~ How can there be a man like Itachi in this world~!!”

The beautiful girl, like a blooming flower, let out a shrill, groundhog-like wail inside her heart.

Cheating!

This is way too unfair!

This man just smiled at her lightly, and casually praised her—and her brain nearly overloaded and short-circuited?

How terrifying is that?

She only wanted to snuggle with pretty girls—she never wanted any awkward entanglements with the opposite sex.

That’s precisely why she’d always been so careful to keep her distance from him…

“Raiden Meiyi, though a counterpart, shares no true connection with Xilian and Aili Xiya—they’ve remained entirely independent…”

Phanes, comparing them briefly, furrowed his brows; his dominant, domineering nature surfaced once more:

“Xilian is the Floating Memory; Aili Xiya is the Spirit of Origin—both walked the singular path of time and space simultaneously!”

“And yet—what was the result?”

Phanes nodded slightly toward Hades, then shot a sharp glance at Raiden Meiyi—his meaning was clear.

“Sorry, Phanes sister~”

The Lawbringer of Rice remained silent.

Compared to them, she truly was inferior.

Aili is the Origin; she inherited the Origin’s authority—but their outcomes were worlds apart.

“Alright, alright, Phanes.”

Hermes gently squeezed Phanes’s small hand, smiling warmly to defuse the tension—these two Origins, Aili Xiya and Raiden Meiyi, were incomparable; how could Itachi even compare them?

“Little Meiyi has done her best; it’s not her fault—don’t be too harsh.”

But…

Xilian?

Hermes sighed quietly within.

Since their parting at Wengfa Luo, Xilian had seemed completely unbothered—still cheerful, open, and familiar as ever—but…

Surely, my own Möbius Snake self must have frightened her?

Otherwise, why after all this time, has she never once come to the Star Coronet Court to see me?

But…

“It seems we must address the matter of counterparts after all.”
