In the last ray of light were colors radiating the heavens and earth. There was a huge stone at the side, rapidly writing down rules and sealing off this void.
She was the stone slab of Ionia and had endless avatars. She was known as the god above gods, the master of endless domains and the organizer of the market of gods and demons.
"Come here!" Yasha shouted.
"Become mine!" The nameless lady didn't fall behind.
"And I am all for it." Naiya impolitely stated.
"Declare that you are my precious treasure, to be loved by the God of man." Declared the stone slate of Ionia, on behalf of fate.
Next, Yun Xi witnessed a very desperate, very cruel, and very gorgeous event. The star domain nearly collapsed from the aftereffects of the conflict.
The four overlords attacked each other violently for some reason that Yun Xi didn't know.
Then, the young boy who miserably met with this misfortune had an indescribable bad end.
He was killed by the four overlords together, torn into many pieces by some method Yun Xi couldn't understand.
The body of the youngster began to fall apart, turning into a pure white-transparent jade light. It emitted a flawless soul as if it was the world's most beautiful gemstone.
Thousands of lights flew apart in the sea of stars, running to the endless corner of the void. The four overlords began to snatch up the pure white-transparent jade lights. Only a few lights successfully escaped under the cover of the stars.
That night, the stars cried for him.
Yun Xi could feel from the rotating starlights, that all the starlights were trying to protect the young boy, but they finally retreated under the coordinated attack of the four overlords.
Today's dream was truly different, ah....
Chapter 4: The Three Spirits
Truly, to die so miserably in the end, what kind of heaven-angering crimes did the youngster commit? To go as far as having the four overlords dispose of him and carry out such a bloody ending.
Seems to be because they wanted to take something away from him?
Today's dream and the past dreams were completely different!
However, it was quite brilliant.
"Choose, the time has come." Countless stars converged together to voice their anxious reminder to Yun Xi.
"Choose... choose what?" Still thinking that it was still all just a dream, Yun Xi was confused.
"Choose your spirit!"
"Choose, there isn't any time left!" The voice that sounded in Yun Xi's ears seemed to have the ancient memory of the stars, but one thing was made clear to him.
He was going to choose something important, something that would change his life. So much, that it would even change the path of the stars.
There was no room for escape, he had to immediately make his choice.
Choosing three, the ancient heavenly river connected three different paths, indicating three different trials.
Every road represented a choice.
At the same time, there were three cocoons emerging in front of him, corresponding to three different roads.
Within every cocoon was a spirit, each emitting their respective attribute. Waiting for Yun Xi's choice.
The first cocoon was pitch-black, it had the darkest colour, the same as the dark abyss.
You could faintly see tiny purple demon wings, as the spirit was emitting a demonic attribute.
"In there, the deepest abyss is waiting for you. It's a boundless dark corridor. Once you choose it, you can never turn back and will become the dark lord, reigning the endless darkness."
The second cocoon was misty-milky white. There were countless clouds and misty winds swirling around in it. A fairy was sleeping in a huge stone tablet while holding a lantern.
"Beyond the beginning of obscurity, at the first second of being born of the world, a being named Primordial was born. Here is the place where the stele of the heavens fell asleep. If you choose this path, you can lord over the universe, to be a free and unfettered immortal."
Finally, there was the golden elf cocoon. It emitted a faint golden radiance and was the most beautiful cocoon.
"Like the sun that will rise from the ground every day, even if I'm surrounded by the relentless darkness, I will also break it by using my mutilated body.
"Like the night that will come every day, even if I'm troubled due to the twisted fate of today, I still believe that the world will never change. Only we will be changed. The truth that we are still alive is our strongest weapon.
"Son of the stars. If you wish to continue to walk on this path and choose this road, it means that you will face the most awful and terrifying enemy."
The three paths, three choices. There was no right or wrong, good or bad, just three kinds of destinies.
Demon Lord, Immortal, Starchild... Yun Xi hesitated for a long time until he ultimately placed his hands on the golden cocoon.
Maybe it was the endless starlights that surrounded and guided him to make him move and wish for it.
He hoped that he could also obtain the light of the stars someday.
"Pop!" The golden light cocoon broke open, as the other two trials disappeared before Yun Xi. However, Yun Xi could still feel their existence, perhaps there is fate… one day.
From the golden cocoon emerged a delicate, small, and tenderly attractive young girl. She had a pair of big timid eyes with golden dog ears.
Her slender body didn't match with her body's fully developed chest. Plus with her pity-like expression, it was hard for one to not reach out and console her.
Especially those golden ears, possessing a magical quality that people would spend money to buy.
Taking a glance at Yun Xi, she expressed an indescribably joyful expression while appearing like she wanted to cry.
"Boo hoo... master!"
"Don't leave Mei'er, this time I will do my best."
The crying young girl jumped into Yun Xi's arms, stretched out her little tongue and licked his face.
He looked at her clear, lively, kind, and innocent eyes from a short distance. She gently shook her long and arched eyebrows, which was a hundred times cuter than he imagined.
Her petite pink, soft, and creamy body was rubbing up against his body. Especially, her rosy and soft small mouth. Yun Xi had a dizzy feeling when he tasted it.
She was like a puppy. This was the first impression Yun Xi had towards the star spirit, "Mei'er", that he had chosen.
It was unlikely for him to say that his first encounter with Mei'er was that of an utter defeat. Her mouth's sweet and unctuous saliva, and being caught by her entangling tongue that was licking and sucking, could be felt all the way to this poor one's soul.
"You are called Mei'er?" Mei'er licked his cheeks till they became dripping wet. After Yun Xi was taken away from the most fantastic kiss of his life, he embarrassingly grabbed the little girl's shoulder.
She really did have a very petite body, she only reached up to Yun Xi's chest. Those golden dog ears and tail, because she was excited, was unceasingly shaking in such an adorable way.
"Yes! I'm Mei'er, the star spirit." Mei'er nestled in Yun Xi's arms like a spoiled little child.
He felt as if she was another little dog he had to feed.
As for the first dog, of course, she was Hua Huo, who was always so lively, healthy, and hyperactive. She had to eat Yun Xi's bread every day, otherwise, she would be listless all day. Which made Yun Xi worry about her life after she went to the Sword Palace.
"Can you tell me if this is a dream? And how did I come here?" Up till now, Yun Xi had a feeling that all of this didn't feel real.
He, in accordance with his heart, made the choice, but he still didn't understand why.
Perhaps because this was all just a dream, he could make a choice without considering the consequences.
"Ah, that's because my past master died." Mei'er held onto Yun Xi, enjoying the smell of his body, her happy facial expression was like that of
someone who was high on drugs.
"Who's dead?" Yun Xi felt that something was wrong in this crucial matter.
"Just now, did you not see it? You were the one being killed in the memory of the stars." Mei'er astonishingly looked at Yun Xi.
Ah, yes, it seemed that it was memories of him being killed. No wonder he had a feeling of empathy.
Hold on... he was killed?!
That unfortunate existence whom the four overlords joined hands to send to hell, who was then finally crushed and turned into pieces of jade, was him!
To die so tragically, simply a tragic ending, ah!
"This is not a joke, right?" Yun Xi began to increasingly doubt that in the end, this was not a dream.
If this was a dream, it was a nightmare, the biggest nightmare.
"Why did I die so horribly?" First off, no matter if this was a dream or not, Yun Xi wanted to know.
If that youngster was him, what did he do to have provoked four overlords to join hands and kill him?
What that youngster was holding should have been the small Mei'er. She was so innocent and kind, like a harmless little white rabbit.
"This... is actually because..." Mei'er suddenly became hesitant, apparently somewhat embarrassed.
"They, are your ex-girlfriends..."
"Ah!"
Chapter 5: Frightening Girlfriends
There were countless of stars revolving in front of Yun Xi.
A dream, yes, it must be a dream!
Yun Xi was unable to imagine how crazy one would be to have four girlfriends at such a level!
Unfortunately, no matter how much you hid, what is to come will come.
Mei'er clearly didn't understand Yun Xi's current state. Thus, she was brimming with enthusiasm to tell Yun Xi more of the truth that he did not wish to know about.
"Master is not human, rather, master is a special child of the stars."
"With every death, master will be reborn of the stars again, just like now."
"Master has doubted his past, right?"
"Actually, master has no parents."
Yun Xi blankly stared, if this was a dream, it was all too much of a coincidence.
How would this golden-eared star spirit know such secrets?
Wait. If so, could the rumours he always heard be true?
"I don't have parents?" He was unable to accept this.
His parents obviously doted on him a lot, considering him as the world's greatest treasure.
"That's right, master has no parents because you were born from the sea of stars."
"Everytime you die, you will be reborn in some corner of the star sea soon after. Afterwards, when you are 18 years old, you will automatically get your memories back, your past." Mei'er did not know why Yun Xi was so shocked, it was just a simple fact.
"I... am not father and mother's child..." Yun Xi was somewhat absent-minded.
In fact, he had already figured it out earlier, but he just didn't want to admit it.
According to his age, 16 years ago, his mother was already 50 years old. At her age, getting pregnant was impossible.
But he pretended not to know as mother and father never brought it up.
He subconsciously evaded facing the truth he didn't want to accept.
Yes... according to common sense, mother being at 50 years of age could not have been pregnant.
"Starchild... refers to me..." Yun Xi lifted up his head to see the surrounding sun, moon, and stars - the countless starlight.
That was the truth of the world, the blessing of the sea of stars towards him.
"In that case, why am I here? Why are you here?" After experiencing a great difficulty in accepting his identity, an even bigger puzzle began to arise in Yun Xi's mind.
Just now, did he hear muttering from among the stars?
If it was like Mei'er said, he was supposed to awaken at 18. But, it was still 2 years till he should have the ability to awaken.
Danger... from where?
"After master died the last time, I was entrusted to the stars."
"Originally, it should have been at the age of 18 that master would come around, but because master is about to encounter a dangerous threat, the awakening happened earlier."
"Of course, the other reason is because master chose Mei'er. Thank you, master. I will do my best to make you rapidly stronger."
Mei'er was brimming with confidence, as she puffed out her little chest with a loveable expression as if she was saying ‘Leave it all to me’.
Mortal danger, Yun Xi has heard that more than once and didn't have a good premonition about it.
"Who is a mortal danger to me? I have not even died once." Yun Xi had a hunch, that once he found the answer, his life would be completely different.
Even the stars issued an early warning and sent over the three spirits. What kind of crisis would make even the stars hurry so much... Ah!
"Master, your enemies are many, but the important thing is that you have just seen four. Has master heard of their God names?"
Oh my goodness, the name of a God! Yun Xi had a crazy hunch.
"The first overlord is the master of the star dragons of the god's domain of giant dragons. Known as the dragon of order and the mother of space and time. She is the Supreme Dragon Goddess, the symbol of birth, life, and death."
"The second overlord doesn't have a name. She is the goddess of chaos and the symbol of the source of pain, living in the deepest part of the abyss - the World of Ghosts."
"The third overlord is the great-old one of chaos, she is the indescribable terror, the avatar of old chaos, and the master of the sea of hell."
"The fourth overlord is the master of endless domains, the owner of the market of gods and demons, the creator, and the god above gods."
"Although there were a lot of inconveniences, the four spared nothing to chase and kill you."
Yun Xi felt like that perhaps he would die easier this time?
The Supreme Dragon God, the God of Chaos, the God of Old, and the God above Gods.
His four ex-girlfriends, who were so terrifying and powerful enough to annihilate the stars and reverse time.
Ok, Yun Xi once heard about two of them.
She was the God above Gods, the supreme master of the entire western god's domains. She was master of hundreds of billions of god's domains. The absolute and unique master of the western god's domains.
As for the Supreme Dragon God, he knew she was the king of the north Dragon God's Domain. The power of the dragons were so strong, that even the people in such a remote eastern region - White Lotus Sword Domain - had also heard about them.
As for the other two overlords, Yun Xi had never heard of them. However, since they could be compared with the Supreme Dragon God and the God above Gods, they should also be at the same level.
Just now, the spirit Mei'er told him that the four overlords went to kill him at the same time... what a joke!
"This... is not a joke, right?"
"The son of the stars, what kind of crime was committed to have provoked the four overlords to kill me?" Even though he is bathing within the star's radiance, Yun Xi still couldn't fully remember, it was like a white piece of blank paper.
So, he didn't know what he did to have angered the four overlords to kill him
"This... Mei'er also doesn't know." Mei'er looked at Yun Xi with eyes of innocence, letting Yun Xi see the answer:
"It seemed that in the past, master refused to marry them and caused them to be angry."
"In other words, they are master's ex-girlfriends."
"So, they are out to kill you. Every time they find a trace of your presence, they will not let you escape."
"What!" Yun Xi's shout made the stars tremble twice.
To refuse their marriage proposal... just because of that!
How crazy and daring was his past self, to have provoked four overlords?!
It was like the old saying, "You wouldn't die if you didn't do the wrong thing!"
<
br /> Yun Xi finally knew why the stars came to warn him so early.
His four ex-girlfriends, if any one of them found him, it would spell no escape for him.
No wonder the stars woke him up two years ahead of time... if he was caught, he would absolutely die!
