Chapter 310: I Give Up
Tianyi let his mother pull him all the way to Jade Peak Palace. Honestly, in terms of pure body strength, he probably outstripped Mengfei by a large margin. Even so, he couldn’t resist, so he let himself be dragged by her.
Of course, he had hidden them between the layers of space to keep anyone from learning of the connection between him and his alter ego, Monarch Nine Heavens.
When Tianyi arrived at the main hall of Jade Peak Palace, he saw a very familiar scene. The formerly sparse but elegant walls were decorated in massive amounts of red, like the day Tianyi went on his first date with Daoyi.
“Mother?”
“Where is Daoyi?” Mengfei asked.
“She’s still in my Nine Heavens Universe,” Tianyi said.
“Bring her out, I’ve already prepared everything,” Mengfei said.
Tianyi showed a helpless expression. “Mother, we just got back. Aren’t you in too much of a rush?”
Mengfei shook her head. “You’ve been gone a hundred years, I thought I would lose you forever. I don’t want to miss this chance.”
Tianyi stayed silent as Mengfei stroked his cheek. ‘Looking at me like that is cheating. How can I say no?’
Still, with immense effort, he managed to not directly agree. Instead, he said. “I have to ask Daoyi first.”
Without waiting for Mengfei to agree, he started teleporting into his Nine Heavens Universe. Unfortunately, he never expected Mengfei to latch onto him with an iron-like grip mid-process.
“Where is this?” Caishen asked. Her pretty face was full of horror as she observed her surrounding.
A golden aura coated her body, protecting her from the harsh environment of the Vast Void. In the distance, she could see a giant sun radiating yang essence and eight planets orbiting it. “Is this the Primordial World? Did I return to the Primordial Era? No, this is wrong, it’s different!”
“I can’t feel any faith flowing into me,” Caishen shouted. Although she hated becoming a divinity of faith, which limited her potential, she survived because of faith. Even after the Primordial Era ended, he survived because the survivors remembered his legend and continued to pray to him.
However, at this moment, Caishen couldn’t feel any faith or prayers from his believers at all. It was as if he had been disconnected from the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to Caishen. “The only way for faith to be cut was if a realmlord sealed off the realm, preventing the faith from reaching me. But that’s impossible. Realms aren’t something that can be placed within another realm, or else they would reject each other.”
So, that left the other option. “That monarch actually had a realm artifact? But why do I feel something is off?”
Aside from realmlords, only being trapped within a realm artifact that had a world within could seal her access to faith. “That guy’s status isn’t simple. I really underestimated the Buzhou Immortal Sect.”
Caishen’s eyes flashed as she detected someone approaching her. The unknown party had the upper body of a woman and the lower half of a snake.
“Nuwa?” Caishen involuntarily said, but she soon regained her composure. “Impossible, Nuwa was a heavenly lord, not someone this weak.”
“Who are you?” Caishen asked as the unknown woman stopped a fair distance away. Upon closer inspection, she was shocked to discover that the woman in front of her was twenty times her size and a divinity as well.”
“You can call me, Nuyi,” Nuyi, Daoyi’s divine avatar, said.
“Nuyi?” Caishen repeated. “What an arrogant name.”
Nuyi only smiled.
“Let’s see how you measure up!” Caishen said as he attacked.
“Yes,” Tianyi said. “I wanted Nuyi to sharpen herself against you some more, but I’m short on time.”
Tianyi raised his open hand and grasped the air in front of him. Caishen felt chaos qi emerge around her, encapsulating her inside a sphere. She roared and tried to use the Law of Purification to transform the chaos qi into her energy. Bai Weiwei couldn’t do it, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t.
As it turned out, she couldn’t either. “Why is the chaos qi filled with the intent of the Heavenly Dao?!”
Tianyi’s eyes flickered as he heard Caishen’s words, but his actions didn’t stop. Not long after, a small pearl appeared in his hands. “Huh, I’d expected Caishen, the God of Wealth, to be more difficult, even with all the advantages against him.”
“Caishen was just a divinity of faith conferred by the Conferred God Scroll. His actual strength wasn’t that strong to begin with,” Mengfei said.
“That makes sense. How did Mother know?” Tianyi asked as he turned toward her. Only to see her staring at the massive Nuyi.
“This is Daoyi?” Mengfei said with some confusion.
Tianyi quickly explained what Nuyi was and brought Mengfei to Ninth Heaven, where Daoyi was waiting. On Ninth Heaven, Mengfei closed her eyes to sense the surrounding. When she opened, she reached out to stroke Tianyi’s head, which he avoided, much to her disappointment.
“You’ve grown stronger in these hundred years, it must have been hard on you,” Mengfei said. For someone to grow strong, they must have gone through numerous hardships.
“It was okay,” Tianyi said as he avoided her eyes. “Well, time in the other timeline was shorter for me, although time may have distorted while I was flowing through the River of Time. “
“Anyways,” Tianyi said as he directed her attention to Concealed Immortal Palace. “Daoyi’s in there, let’s go meet her.”
Mengfei only blinked when she saw the Concealed Immortal Palace, but she simply accepted it and followed Tianyi inside. He led her to the main, where Daoyi was waiting.
“Daoyi.”
“Master.”
“Are you ready to marry Yi’er?”
“Yes.”
“Hold up a minute!” Tianyi interrupted. “What is wrong with this conversation?!”
“I see nothing wrong,” Mengfei said, wondering what Tianyi was agitated about.
“Yeah, Tianyi. This is just a normal conversation,” Daoyi said with a teasing smile.
“You know what I meant,” Tianyi transmitted using his immortal sense. “I thought we agreed that you would try to delay Mother’s intentions.”
Because they were in his Nine Heavens Universe, Tianyi was able to hide his secret communication with Daoyi from Mengfei.
“You just told me to reject her but left without waiting for my reply,” Daoyi said. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with marrying now. We’ve known each other far longer than any couples on Earth have any right to. And I’m immortal now. Even If I can’t live as long as you, we should still have at least tens of thousands of years together.”
Tianyi opened his mouth but could not find a reason for rejection except for, “I don’t think I feel ready.”
“What, do you not want to marry me?” Daoyi hid her face behind her sleeves, and her shoulders started to tremble. Tianyi could even see tears splattering onto the floor.
“Wait, no. That’s not what I meant. Of course, I want to marry you!” Tianyi practically shouted.
“Good, I’ll prepare for the ceremony tomorrow,” Mengfei said, catching Tianyi off guard as he snapped his head toward his mother.
“Master, having it too soon is not good. We should delay it by a year or a few months at least so that the invitations can be sent out. Our statuses make it that we cannot make this a private affair,” Daoyi said.
Tianyi snapped his gaze back to Daoyi to see her sleeve down and not a hint of tears on her face. He opened his mouth, then closed it, before finally saying, “I give up.”
