Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 1204 - 1204. Schemes Out In The Open.

Yasenia could feel the surge of energy in her heart threatening to spill at any moment. She was forcibly holding back the breakthrough to the sheer limit that her body could before allowing everything to flow. Her upper, middle, and lower Dantian were full of energy and about to burst. The sensation of bloating was bad enough that some pain started to flash in her mind.

The Heavenly Tribulation that had started to gather above her patiently waited for Yasenia to finish. Still, the color of the cloud was truly fearsome. Pitch black didn't do it justice anymore. Instead of being dark, the clouds were so dark that they looked as if they could devour the light around them.

Once they appeared, the surroundings darkened, and the world seemed to be engulfed in a void made out of black. In this pitch black darkness, two lights appeared.

One of them was bright golden, with enough warmth to feel as if the Sun was gently spreading its light on the surroundings.

The other one was a silvery white color. The light was chilling but gentle, aloof but compassionate.

Both lights expanded brightly for a second before disappearing. In their position, absolutely gorgeous beings appeared. The man coming out from the golden light was handsome and tall, with long black hair and golden-slit eyes. Behind him, a pure golden-colored dragon tail moved majestically, the scales on it reflecting light like fluid gold.

His straight eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and thin lips, along with his beautiful straight nose and angular face, created perfect male beauty, a face that could charm any woman who looked at him.

The woman by his side didn't lose out to his charm. Instead, she complimented it. With similar long black hair and silvery eyes, the woman's body shone with aloofness and chilling energies. Her white skin looked like smooth mutton jade, contrasting with the dragon scales' pure blackness. The night-like darkness of her tail didn't look ominous, though. Instead, it gave a feeling of serenity.

Her facial features were beyond perfect. She had a soft, rounded jaw, beautiful, petal-like lips, and elevated eyes that looked down on all living beings.

They were the Sun God Tai Yang and the Moon Goddess Change'er.

Once they appeared, they looked at Yasenia. However, once they looked, their calm facial expressions cracked slightly. "... What happened?"

Tai Yang's eyes widened faintly, while Change'er couldn't help but question aloud. The Dragon Woman bathing in the Blood Pool was emitting an aura not inferior to that of an average Sixth Realm cultivator. The sheer raw energy she possessed was something that affected the world around her.

Tai Yang frowned for a second, muttered. "Just how many lucky encounters did she have? Hasn't the [Shadow of the Sun and Moon] been doing their job?"

When he asked, a voice reached both gods.

"Master, I've done the best I could. However, fret not. Even if we haven't managed to stop her from gathering all cultivation paths, there is something that you might want to know about."

Change'er and Tai Yang waited for the man to speak, and seeing their interest, the man spoke. "Masters, Yasenia is currently pregnant! However, I've managed to interfere with her perception long enough for her to start the breakthrough."

Change'er's eyebrow raised with confusion. "How is that possible? Didn't she cut her Fate off when she disobeyed us and accepted the Celestial Energy back then?"

The voice of the man reached them once more. The tone was calm. "Indeed. I've been gravely injured during the whole process. I'll probably need around 10,000 years to recover enough before I start interfering with her once more. Still, who knows what strength she will reach after 10,000 years? Therefore, this is the last chance I could procure for the masters. Please, don't mess it up, or all of your efforts will be wasted."

The two Gods listened carefully. The other person added. "From here on, I am incapable of interfering. Plus, once I stop, those around Yasenia will be able to notice part of my presence. The black-haired and red-eyed woman is particularly dangerous."

Tai Yang asked, confused. "How could she be dangerous? Isn't she a lowly Demigodess?"

The man answered, not feeling angered. "Indeed. Her growth is incredibly fast, though. Once she notices what both the masters' plans are, she will for sure go berserk and hunt you down with all her might."

Change'er hummed and then commented. "Speaking of which..." Her eyes squinted while looking at Yasenia closely. "She has a deep connection to another being other than Cecile. Who is it?"

When she asked, both gods noticed the man's mood turn for the worse. "Masters, that being is a damned spirit. Our plans almost got interrupted by her several times!"

This news was even more baffling. Tai Yang was confused. "How could a mortal spirit affect everything so much? Explain!"

The man thought for a second before he explained. "The spirit that Yasenia has contracted is a Moon and Sun spirit."

"Impossible," Change'er spoke, her voice gaining a touch of surprise from her usual calmness. "How could a Sun and Moon spirit even exist? That goes against the natural order!"

The man sighed. "The reason for this spirit's existence is actually both masters."

Bewilderment flashed in their eyes, and the man explained it simply. "Masters, after your battle that shook the Main Heaven, residues of the aftermath were spread throughout the entire universe. Some of those residues combined the Moon and Sun energies into a perfect balance. And, from the myriad of residues, that Sun and Moon spirit was born. Therefore, being part of your esteemed selves, I am completely unable to affect her."

Both gods nodded. The man had a contract with them, after all. He couldn't harm them even indirectly, so that spirit born from them could be considered their "child." Hence, the contract made it impossible for him to deal with her.

The man sighed frustratedly. "Still, that spirit was bound to be nothing! After all, the instability meant that the Spirit's cultivation would be stuck forever in the realm she was born in..."

Tai Yang muttered. "But she met Yasenia."

"Indeed. After entering a contract with Yasenia, the spirit gained a hint of Star attribute, allowing the volatile Moon and Sun attributes to stabilize. Now, the spirit has reached the Sixth Realm... After it reached the Sixth Realm, I've been unable to detect anything about them. The few times the spirit spoke with Yasenia is what caused sixty percent of my injuries because my interference was slipping through my fingers."

Both gods sighed. They didn't expect Yasenia to end up being so much trouble. Change'er asked, confused. "Why is Yasenia so defiant compared to our previous inheritors? The previous ones were always ecstatic to serve us, but sadly, their talent was mediocre in the end, and we couldn't achieve our objective, and they died. The one time that we end up with a ridiculously powerful inheritor, she becomes doubtful of us..."

The [Shadow of the Sun and Moon] commented. "When she was being born, I remember that there was an anomaly I had not planned. That caused the twins, whom I separated into male and female souls, to merge into one being once more. I am now injured, masters, and I am unable to do the same trick with Yasenia's child."

Tai Yang nodded. "We understand. If not, we could abort our intention and try to take over her progeny. Things would be easy if we were born with her powerful bloodline."

Change'er looked at Yasenia and commented. "Well, we should start preparing. Since Yasenia is very fond of her family, the second she notices that she is pregnant will be quite a blow to her. We should aim for that moment." Her eyes shone ruthlessly. "Once she is broken, everything else will be easy."

The [Shadow of the Moon and Sun] praised. "As expected of Master Moon Goddess, she understands why I took so much effort to hide it."

The energy around Yasenia spiked at that moment, and she roared to the sky.

ROAR!

The Dragon roar exploded outward, shattering through the bounds of the trial, and pushed Tianyi and Aoshuang who were waiting for her outside.

RUMBLE!

The sky shook in answer to Yasenia's dragon roar. The angry tribulation cloud was ready to smite Yasenia with ferocity that would make previous tribulation clouds appear like child's play.

Yasenia stood up at that moment and looked up as the blood slid down her alluringly curvy body. Glancing at both gods, her beautiful lips arched, and she chuckled. "Ho~? Sun God, Moon Goddess, long time no see."

Tai Yang squinted and spoke with a cold face. "It seems that you've managed to understand part of our inheritance."

Yasenia raised her eyebrow. "Indeed. That [Primordial Palace] is quite an interesting place. The two skills at the entrance are enough to leave me in awe. I can't wait to see what's inside of it."

Tai Yang looked at the sky and spoke calmly. "You might never have the chance, though. It seems that your tribulation is somewhat dangerous."

Yasenia glanced upward as well, but her face didn't show fear. "Indeed. This is probably stronger than an actual Punishing Tribulation. However, Heavens need to be fair. They can't present an impossible challenge, and they also have a limit as to how much strength they can use when creating a tribulation per rank... Therefore, I am confident. As long as Heaven is fair, I will never be defeated!"

Change'er laughed faintly. "You've become quite arrogant. It seems that your dragon traits have become more prominent. Yasenia, tell me, how do you feel about your descendants? I can sense that you have a few."

Yasenia frowned, her heart becoming slightly uncomfortable. "... What do my children have to do with anything? If you are trying to destabilize my will or foundation, give it up. I won't be shaken by anything you can say to me."

The Moon Goddess' smile didn't recede and she chuckled. "Do it."

Yasenia blinked, confused, and then her face froze. The strange sensation at the back of her head disappeared, and with it, her perception returned to normal.

*Thump-thump.*

She easily caught a pulse of life coming from her womb area, and she quickly placed her hands on her stomach. Her eyes first flashed with joy, but then, she realized her current situation. 'Breakthrough... Giving up the body...'

Her pupils shrunk to lines as she looked up at the gods floating in the sky. "Y-You..." At first, her feelings were full of denial. "What kind of trickery is this! Even if you make me experience a fake pregnancy, I won't bend!"

Tai Yang raised his eyebrows. "You don't want to accept it? Such a shame for the little one; its mother won't recognize it."

Yasenia's face paled and her heart became tumultuous for the first time in her life. Her always pure and unbreakable will started to tremble, and a few black cracks began to appear as Heart Demons didn't lose a single second.

"Y-You are lying! You!... How!?"

Accepting that she was truly pregnant, Yasenia's irises turned red as she screamed at them with fury, sadness, and animalistic wrath of a mother about to lose her child.

"AHHHH! I WANT YOU DEAD!"

Both gods smiled faintly, their eyes flashing coldly as Yasenia's aura became increasingly turbulent.
