Chapter 887: 887: Morning Visit
The silence in Shen Jueyang was deafening. The words of the system lingers in his ears. He wanted to get stronger to be able to protect the woman he loves, Yue Xuexia. But to make her hate him isn’t something he is willing to do. After all, he likes the current life he is having right now. It can be said that even though the Goddess of the Moon doesn’t accept his feelings, she has allowed him to stay by her side. Though this is a bit similar to how he had accepted the Moon Empress in their previous life, unlike him for that time, Yue Xuexia didn’t treat him awkwardly or distant like he had done before. She accepted him as her family and cared for him like everyone else. At this moment, this relationship is enough for him. He didn’t want to leave her side.
However, at the same time, he didn’t want to become powerless before the enemies that might come for them. Especially those foreign cultivators that weren’t originally from their universe yet wanted to take over their resources. This situation wasn’t actually new to this world. The foreign cultivators being interested in their world is not new. It had always been like this from the beginning. That’s the reason why the Cosmos Battlefield existed and why he had to fight in that place. This is all to protect this Immortal World from being taken over by those outsiders.
All along the Immortal Sun Emperor thought this was his duty. After all, Tribulation Cultivators aren’t allowed to get involved with this battle and there is an age restriction to it. Only those whose age is below a millennia can enter and Shen Jueyang is one of the strongest and youngest commanders in that place. However, there are still sneaky old monsters who would use their disciple just so they can enter the Immortal World and influence the things from within. He didn’t understand that in his previous life, and only when he had died once that he understood that one of these beings was the one backing the Fairy Queen that he now understood why he had died before.
The Immortal Sun Emperor was the strongest yet youngest guardian of this world. He isn’t supposed to make friends with someone like the Immortal Star Emperor whose background isn’t clear and shouldn’t have trusted him and at the same time, his greatest mistake, is allowing the Fairy Queen to enter the Immortal World. It was because of this that after he had died that the Immortal World had almost fallen under the control of the outsider like the Fairy Queen. If it’s not for the Immortal Star Emperor restraining the Fairy Queen that they would have lost ownership to this universe and all of the aborigines like himself would most likely get replaced by something else.
This is why even though the Heavenly Laws of the Immortal World didn’t stop Shen Jueyang from attacking the Immortal Star Empire, it prevented him from killing Xing Xieju, the Immortal Star Emperor. At least in the eyes of the Heavenly Laws, the Immortal Star Emperor is still a part of this world even though he was the one who had brought over the Fairy Queen. He cannot be completely blamed about the Fairy Queen, he only brought her over to meet Shen Jueyang in exchange of his mother’s soul, but it was the Immortal Sun Emperor who had given her the permission to enter and it had nothing to do with the Immortal Star Emperor. So the heavenly laws didn’t see Xing Xieju as an enemy.
This mistake had become a sin of the Immortal Sun Emperor. For the sake of the world, he is willing to postpone the hatred in his heart towards the Immortal Star Emperor. After all, fighting right now would only cause all realms in their universe to chaos and this would mean everyone living in it would be affected. This is something Shen Jueyang didn’t want to happen and would never allow to happen. All for the sake of Yue Xuexia who is still living in this world. He is willing to wait for the right time to take revenge. Right now, he chooses to stay beside the woman he loves and grow stronger with her. So when the right moment arrives, he will be able to protect Yue Xuexia and take his revenge.
Shen Jueyang only wanted to get stronger. Who would have thought that the process of getting stronger would affect his relationship with Yue Xuexia. However, the words of the system don’t seem to be a lie. Or else, he wouldn’t have hesitated to tell him just now. The other soul fragment of the Immortal Sun Emperor, he doesn’t mind taking them back over, but the problem is Shen Taiyang. This is a clone of his who he had made to become someone completely different from himself. This is also the person Yue Xuexia accepted first before him. A little brother who had protected and accompanied the Goddess of the Moon had her weakest. There is no way Shen Jueyang can destroy him.
The Immortal Sun Emperor asked, "Is there no other way?"
[What are you hesitating for? Unlike Yue Xuexia’s clones, your clones are from the same origins and they are yourself. They didn’t live a different life and you let them be an extension of yourself. They can return to you anytime.]
"Xue’er treats Taiyang as her little brother, if I absorb him back she will definitely hate me," said Shen Jueyang.
The System had already expected this answer, that’s why he hesitated. Now hearing it from the mouth of the Immortal Sun Emperor, he felt even more tired. He also cannot do something about this as this is the only way for the real Primordial Sun God to awaken. If Shen Jueyang isn’t willing to do it then the Primordial Sun God will continue not to exist.
[It’s not like there is no other way. But... This is a completely different thing if you make this choice you can never turn back.]
"Tell me what it is. After listening I will decide what to do after." said Shen Jueyang.
It was unknown what the system had told the Immortal Sun Emperor that time, but after that conversation only the two of them know, Shen Jueyang had just brought Yue Xuexia back to the house where the rest of their group was resting and went somewhere else telling the Thunder Emperor that he had some business to do and disappeared the whole time while his niece is still sleeping. The next morning before Yue Xuexia woke up, Shen Jueyang had returned like he hadn’t disappeared the whole night.
The Thunder Emperor didn’t ask where Shen Jueyang had disappeared to and even his only disciple didn’t ask much more. However, while everyone was having breakfast some people knocked on their door. Tan Bingyu upon checking who the guests were, opened the door only to see a now healthy looking Fox Queen and beside her was the Fox King whose all injuries had been fully cured as well. Behind them were a few fox tribe members carrying countless boxes of treasures of their tribe. They had willingly given away all of their tribe’s treasure as payment for what the Goddess of the Moon had done for the leaders of their tribe.
Knock. Knock.
Upon opening the door, Tan Bingyu saw two Foxes she had never met before and the first elder whom she had seen before.
First Elder Yao said, "Miss Tan, good morning. Is the Divine Doctor awake? Her majesty the Fox Queen and his majesty the Fox King had personally come over to see the Goddess of the Moon?"
"Please enter. The Mistress is almost done eating," said Tan Bingyu.
The Fox King, Hu Raiki, says, "It’s alright. We are not in a hurry and the Divine Doctor can take her time eating. We only come over to give our thanks and give the payment for the treatment."
"Shall we enter inside first?" The Fox Queen, Hu Yuyao said.
After the location had changed, everyone had met at the living area. The others didn’t crowd in the living room, leaving the couches for the guests, Yue Xuexia, Shen Jueyang and Lei Yuye. Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue were guiding people where to place the boxes of treasures brought over to be placed outside the mansion for now as they still need to find a place to organize it before keeping it. Tan Shengyu and Xue Shuyi were in the room training. Last night the Immortal Sun Emperor sneaked out to see his disciple and told him to train hard after noticing that he didn’t have much progress in her realm.
It wasn’t as if he is weak, it’s just that to grow his miniature sun he needs to be in a place where battle is almost never ending to feed his sun the blood and flesh of his enemies allowing it to grow. As for Tan Huangyu and Tang Yuyi, they are in the kitchen making some things to be served for the guests.
