When Ji Yuan was alone in his room and he was trying to sober up, there was sudden knock on his door.
Curious, he opened the door to his room and was startled to see that it was the Goddess Destiny.
Destiny smiled to him, "May I come in?"
She was naturally aware of what had happened since last night since she was eavesdropping on Ji Yuan and the 5 divine consorts.
Like the 5 divine consorts, she was also curious what Ji Yuan thought of her and she had appeared immediately once all the 5 divine consorts had left.
Ji Yuan blinked his eyes, "Erm, sure… may I know why the Great Oracle is looking for me?"
Destiny did not answer him but she had taken bold stride as she walked in.
Ji Yuan smiled weakly, "My room is a little messy at the moment…"
Destiny did not seem to hear him and instead she had walked to his bed and sat on it, "You have just awakened?"
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "I am a little too drunk last night. Haha…"
Destiny gave him a faint smile, "It is alright. Do you remember what you have said to me last night?"
Ji Yuan frowned with a look of bewilderment, "I say something last night?"
Destiny smiled, "You say you love me and you will like me to be with you always."
Ji Yuan was startled, "Did I really say that?"
Oh crap… he was really courting his own death by saying that when he was drunk last night…
"After thinking for the entire night, I have decided to tell you that I'd be willing to follow you from now onward." Destiny gave him a playful wink.
Ji Yuan was stunned…
He quickly asked Xiang Li and Anyang: Did I really say that to the Goddess Destiny?
Xiang Li answered delightfully as she covered Anyang's mouth, "Yeah! You have said that!"
Ji Yuan was heard muttering in his soul sea: I did?!
But he quickly returned his attention to the Goddess Destiny, "Erm, unfortunately I will be returning to the Celestial Realm very soon. I am afraid that you can't follow me there…"
He was actually thinking: No matter how bold I am, I dare not bang the Goddess Destiny…
Although he was saying so but his golden eyes were dishonest when he was saying so.
Destiny lit a wry smile, "I naturally have my way of following you to the Celestial Realm."
Ji Yuan was startled, "You can follow me? How?"
"I am afraid that this is my secret." Destiny chuckled softly.
Then she winked at him, "So are you excited about it?"
JI Yuan blinked his eyes as he said awkwardly, "I am… erm... really excited about it…"
But he was thinking: She can really follow me to the Celestial Realm? How is it possible? No way! This must be another joke of the day. I am not falling for it…
So he chuckled loudly, "Haha, I am so excited that you can come with me. If the Goddess Destiny does not mind, we can always be together from now on."
There was a slight flush that was on Destiny's cheeks and she was smiling coyly, "This… is my intention as well."
Ji Yuan asked awkwardly, "Erm, I am just wondering. Just because of what I have said to you last night when I was drunk, you are really willing to follow me? You are not going to wait for the True Devil God now?"
He wanted to confirm if she was just joking with him.
He quickly followed up with a weak smile, "You say you know who the True Devil God is, am I right? You can tell me who the True Devil God is now?"
Destiny smiled, "Do you really want to know?"
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "I think that it may not be Xiao Muhan. Haha…"
Destiny lowered her eyes briefly before she looked at him, "Surely you can guess who he is by now, right?"
Ji Yuan smiled awkwardly, "I am the True Devil God?"
The reason why he was suddenly looking awkward was that he had been calling the True Devil God some ugly names and not knowing that he was actually scolding himself.
All of a sudden, he had remembered the relationship between the True Devil God and the Great Beyond Goddess.
Did he really know the Great Beyond Goddess in the past?
He really dares not imagine this as the Great Beyond Goddess represented the highest epitome in cultivation and it is the dream of the immortals to ascend to the Great Beyond Realm after cultivating to the 10th cultivation realm.
But he could not help saying, "Then, about the Great Beyond Goddess…"
Destiny looked startled, "You remember the Great Beyond Goddess?"
Then she quickly composed herself to say firmly, "Don't worry. I'll protect you from the Great Beyond Goddess even if it will cost me my life."
Ji Yuan was perplexed, "Erm, why would I need to protect myself from the Great Beyond Goddess?"
Destiny sighed softly before she explained melancholy, "I guess that you can't remember the past yet. Or maybe never. But I can tell you what had happened in the past…"
There was a woeful melancholy look on her before she continued, "A long time ago, you have fought with the Great Beyond Goddess and you got killed by her…"
Ji Yuan remembered this part: The True Devil God actually sacrificed himself by tricking the Great Beyond Goddess to kill him, right?
Then he had also remembered what Destiny had told him previously that the True Devil God had also absorbed the corruption from the Abyssal Gods. Was that the reason why the True Devil God wanted to be killed by the Great Beyond Goddess?
Destiny continued woefully, "When you got killed by the Great Beyond Goddess, there is a chance that you will be reincarnated since you are one of the Great Dao in the universe. That is the reason why after your death, I am in your birth realm so that one day, I may be able to meet you again. But the Great Universal Dao works in mysterious way. Although you have appeared in the Spirit Divine Realm but you are a celestial instead of from your original home world…"
"But you know, even after your death…" She added even more woefully. "The Great Beyond Goddess did not want to spare you and she tried to find out about your whereabouts through me. So I told her a little lie and she had imprisoned me in my Delphi Palace which is known as the Secret Oracle Gate to the Spiritas here."
"So, now you know why I am here?" Destiny looked at Ji Yuan and her eyes were glistening.
Ji Yuan was still a little shocked to hear this account and he was shocked that the Great Beyond Goddess was seeking to kill him.
Does the Great Beyond Goddess hates him so much? He is Ji Yuan and no longer the True Devil God…
Like Ji Yuan, Xiang Li and Anyang were both startled and they were whispering to each other: Our lord is the True Devil God himself? The Great Beyond Goddess wants to kill our lord?
Ji Yuan said bitterly to Destiny, "If the Great Beyond Goddess wants to kill me then I am afraid that you can't protect me from her. As long as I don't ascend to the upper realms, I think I should be quite safe from her, am I right?"
Destiny nodded slowly, "The current Great Beyond Goddess has a much higher cultivation realm than when she had killed you so she cannot descend whenever she likes now. If she sends her Avatar against you, I should be able to help you to deal with it. After all, there is a limit to what Avatars can do."
Ji Yuan was still smiling bitterly; it is because he has suddenly remembered that the Great Beyond Goddess is also his Grand Protégé Mistress since his immortal master is the Old Reverend Beiyuan. Maybe the Great Beyond Goddess would not kill him due to this layer of relationship between them…
Ji Yuan decided to put aside this complicated relationship aside first and he said to Destiny, "Actually, I am no longer the True Devil God that you know now. I am Ji Yuan and I am also a celestial. I am just in this place for my trial. When I return to the Celestial Realm, there is a maiden that is waiting for me. In fact, there are several maidens that I have too. This won't be fair to you and I can't promise you that I can give you the attention that you need."
There was a little jitter in Destiny's heart when she had heard Ji Yuan but she asked nevertheless, "The name of this maiden is Jiajia, am I right?"
Ji Yuan was truly startled, "You know?"
Destiny said casually as she glared softly at Ji Yuan, "I know everything. I am the Great Oracle, of course."
Ji Yuan laughed weakly; he had almost forgotten about this…
He was forced to admit, "Yeah. Among all the maidens, I like Jiajia the most. It is because she has awakened something in me when I was down."
Destiny smiled to him, "I don't mind sharing you with the other maidens."
Ji Yuan was startled, "You don't? But you are an immortal goddess."
Destiny smiled as she looked gently at him, "I don't mind because your other maidens won't be able to catch up with your cultivation. Only I can. Sooner or later, you will only be mine alone. Moreover, do you agree that only I can help to protect you from the Great Beyond Goddess?"
Ji Yuan rubbed his chin before he grinned, "Actually forget about the Great Beyond Goddess for the time being. Do you think that you can help me to fight against Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao and the Great Demon God first?"
There was a soft gasp with Destiny as she stared with shock at Ji Yuan, "I know Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao. But how did you offend the Great Demon God?"
Ji Yuan frowned, "Aren't you the Great Oracle? You didn't know that I have a feud with the Great Demon God?"
Destiny: …
She quickly explained with a stammering voice, "I can't divine the fates of the Immortals or their feuds with you."
The reason why she was stammering was because this Ji Yuan seemed eager to throw her into two burning bonfires.
"The Great Demon God and this Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao aren't easy to beat…"
Ji Yuan grinned, "I know. That is why I am glad to have you on my side. Haha…"
Destiny: …
