Chapter 132

May you and I... shine together!

The battle on the outskirts of the storm was intense, and the confrontation at the center of the storm was no less intense.

Hu Xuan, after stepping into this void, had broken through all obstacles and arrived before the Star Dagger.

But when she truly saw that 【Eternal Day】, she realized that she had fallen into a trap.

It wasn't a trap by 【Eternal Day】, but...

A trap by Zha Yinji'er!

This crazy scholar, this former genius, hadn't given up on everything he had created; even today, with his vitality drained, he was still trying to find a way to escape.

So, when he sensed that someone in the town was also starting to steal authority, he sent out the authority he should have swallowed himself.

The bait must be fat enough for the fish to take the hook.

So, Hu Xuan took the hook.

She gained benefits in the confrontation with "Eternal Day" and felt she could swallow Him, fuse with divinity, and ascend to the sky in one step.

But all of this was Zha Yinji'er's scam.

He concealed the true 【Eternal Day】 divinity, tempting Hu Xuan to come bit by bit; to succeed in one fell swoop, he even stripped away the divinity he had previously fused, disguising the decline of 【Eternal Day】.

Clearly, this move worked.

When Hu Xuan truly arrived before 【Eternal Day】 and saw this giant sun emitting rich and terrifying endless 【Birth】 aura, she knew she was wrong.

Wrong beyond measure.

This was a pseudo-god formed by the 【Birth】 divinity collected by the Scholarly Chair Society using all the resources of the Tower of Reason.

Even if it carried the word "pseudo," it also carried the word "god"!

Facing the gaze of this massive divine source, Hu Xuan didn't even last a second before falling into the exact same state as Zha Yinji'er.

Her vitality was drained by 【Eternal Day】, and her remaining consciousness had to fight against the intrusion of Zha Yinji'er's consciousness.

This crazy scholar wanted to use his alchemy of creation to swap the two people's consciousnesses.

Although Hu Xuan's current body was also a corpse, compared to himself as the "Star Dagger," this corpse was less entangled with the two pseudo-gods.

So, this was a move of a cicada shedding its skin.

He wanted to borrow Hu Xuan's body to leave the Star Dagger and let himself reappear in the world!

He almost succeeded.

But at the final moment, Hu Xuan made a decision that no one could have imagined, nor dared to do.

She!

Sought an offspring from the true 【Eternal Day】!

A mortal, seeking a child from a pseudo-god!

At the moment her weak consciousness was about to perish, at the moment her fragile body was about to be occupied, Hu Xuan's whisper flowed through the void and bloomed on the Star Dagger!

"May the robber repent, may the thief share the shame, may you and I... shine together, relax, you... will see me..."

This was originally an invitation from a tiny speck of dust to a giant sun; such an insignificant request didn't even have as much impact on 【Eternal Day】 as the blinking of Zha Yinji'er's eyelids.

In normal times, no Him would respond.

But today was different.

The choice of fate favored Hu Xuan.

This Life Sage, tricked into the void, became the object that should be redeemed in Cheng Shi's wild gamble!

So, in the depths of the void invisible to everyone, a pair of eyes slowly opened.

Those eyes didn't make any extra movements, just coldly scanned everything here, and then...

A small arc bulged on the belly of the dead Hu Xuan's corpse.

【Eternal Day】 responded.

Zha Yinji'er was scared out of his wits!

If he were to swap with Hu Xuan now, he would become the mother of the 【Birth】 offspring, completely pulled into the embrace of 【Birth】, turning into a shell that advocated reproduction and had little time left to live.

Because what he was carrying in his belly was the child of Hu Xuan and 【Eternal Day】.

And the moment the child was born, he, the mother who was just a shell, would die.

If all this happened, perhaps no one could be called a winner, but Zha Yinji'er would definitely be a loser.

So, he was afraid.

He withdrew all his means and fell into slumber again.

He had done this kind of attempt countless times over the long passage of time, and each time he could escape without danger, but this time was different from any other.

Because the moment Hu Xuan's belly bulged, a pair of eyes opened again in the depths of the void.

An identical pair of eyes.

"Why have you come?"

"Hee~ watching a play."

As soon as the words fell, a rich and terrifyingly sticky vitality spread in the void; in an instant, a long whip like a tentacle whipped away all obstacles in the void and drilled in.

The first pair of eyes watched it appear before them, their gaze slightly condensed.

【Divine Pillar】.

The 【Divine Pillar】 of 【Birth】.

This great pillar that connected all life templates from ancient times to the present appeared in the depths of the void for the first time.

It twisted its body, scattering vitality, and emitted gibberish that made the soul tremble.

In just an instant, all the void celestial bodies in the entire void began to tremble unconsciously.

The eyes were gloomy, the eyes laughed loudly.

"Why have you come."

"My—child—"

With the whipping of the 【Divine Pillar】, all fluctuations in the void rubbed and spat out such syllables.

"My—child—"

The pair of playful eyes rolled, immediately translating for Him intimately:

"The boss already lost a child in the past, so now, He doesn't want to lose one again, right boss?"

The 【Divine Pillar】 had no reaction, still just repeatedly whispering those four syllables.

The first pair of eyes glanced coldly at the second pair of eyes.

"You think you're very intimate?"

"Well... why wouldn't I be?"

"I haven't found you for trouble for the matter of you letting people stir up the situation."

"Don't talk nonsense; I just found someone, but he didn't stir up the situation, you saw it."

"..."

The spiral in those cold eyes began to spin; time passed second by second, and I don't know how long it had been, or if it was just a blink of an eye, He spoke again.

"You, what do you intend."

"Child—born—"

The 【Divine Pillar】 whipped the void, making it rustle; the scattered vitality almost made the entire void born into existence.

"Get Him away, and I will satisfy you."

"?"

As soon as the words fell, the 【Divine Pillar】 surged up and whipped once.

"Swish—"

Something was thrown out.

The scene quieted down.

The cold eyes were finally no longer so cold; He sneered at the 【Divine Pillar】 and also whispered:

"Now, let's talk about the price."

And just at this moment, the stars of the void stopped trembling; they moved and connected in a regular pattern, and not long after, they drew a Book of Stars shining with the starlight of knowledge.

The pages turned, rustling.

"It seems I've come at just the right time.

You two didn't ask for my consent, yet used my assets as bargaining chips...

I don't think you'd mind adding one more to this negotiation table."

"Child—born—"

"..."
