162 Chaotic Universe II

Her aura was titanic. Unlike the brightness of light, darkness was the natural state of space, the beginning and perhaps... also the end after the light withers. Her aura spread nimbly but resolutely and the world stopped dead under her influence, inevitably.

Like taking a feeble insect between two fingers and stopping its movements. Richter saw how the big bear-like ice beast. The two younglings and even airflow stopped in this secluded space. That power, however, was unable to influence him… something Jie Yuan didn't pay attention to because she was focused on something else.

Small tears were visible in her eyes; her silhouette floated towards the beast before she extended her hand forward and something shot out from the beast's flesh… something resembling a small blue bead.

Richter felt great power coming from that bead. A great water aura.

"Ni Xuan…" She said softly towards the bead, little did any of them know... this bead was ready to 'speak'.

"Yuan'er is that you?"

"*sob* w-what happened?" The moment Jie Yuan heard that voice it was as if she broke, her floating form fell from the skies like spring leaves and knelt on the floor, emitting immense darkness yet reigning it in.

I saw how the silhouette of a tall man in crimson armour appeared in front of her, hazy like a ghost and bypassing her dark clutch.

[Creation God of Elements, Ni Xuan. Heretic God, Judgement's Opposition]

His aura irradiated lightly, not strong enough to be threatening as he likely didn't even have the strength to do so but instead, just gave a cordial greeting while regarding Richter with interest and amazement. The latter kept just staring and the couple and wondering if he should leave to make things less awkward.

Jie Yuan looked up at her husband with a mixture of love, wrath and sadness that earned Richter's attention. He thought she loved the man so...

'Why such a scornful gaze?' He thought.

"It is such a long story, Yuan'er… I'm sorry... I am but a remnant spirit that's soon to wither. My original body has long perished with nothing but a drop of my blood and seeds remaining; you should know who holds it currently".

He looked at the boy and so did Jie Yuan, his 'successor' had a gaze filled with fright together with the girl whose wrist he was holding. They could see everything that was happening. But they couldn't even move, do or say anything... not even their eyeballs could move. To switch between the two individuals. Richter looked like a beacon of golden light with his golden hair... while Jie Yuan was like darkness incarnate, no one could ever witness her true beauty beneath those layers of darkness that made her look like a sinister being.

No one except her husband.

"He's my successor… I left my immortal blood behind for the sake of this world".

"This boy is your successor and I'm sensing the aura of the mirror of samsara from this girl, just what is going on?" She was confused, with no idea whatsoever of what had happened after her departure or even how long it had been.

"There is not much time to explain before my aura vanishes. Originally, I was supposed to guide my successor, but I can explain to you some things. The Ancestral Goddess has set up everything to prepare for this entity's return and vengeance. But it is not enough… the primal chaos is shrouded in enormous darkness. I have been making my own preparations, one of them is my successor here".

"Do you think this brat can accomplish anything against an entity that could even trouble our creator?" Jie Yuan groaned and even Richter released a small amused laugh.

"He is blessed in more ways than you can possibly imagine... the current timeline in Primal Chaos is but a compound created by the Ancestral Goddess to give him all unimaginable treasures in order to make him stronger... I didn't choose him as my successor, he was 'lucky' enough to get my immortal blood... he was also 'lucky' enough to get the Sky Poison Pearl... you should understand what I mean... moreover, he also has the mirror of samsara".

After analysing the young boy, she lifted her eyebrows in amazement, "So many treasures... but in the end, he is still just a mortal... in any case. Ni Xuan... where is my daughter?"

"..."

"Where are Ni Jie and Wanhu?"

"Our daughter... they're alive, I managed to save them, but... they haven't had a good fate. I'm so sorry... there is no time".

"Ni Xuan!"

The man ignored her and irradiated some of his aurae, making the darkness of Jie Yuan's aura wither the moment she released his intentions.

"You… Golden Dragon".

"Ho? Me?" Richter lifted up his eyebrows the moment he was addressed, so far the conversation they were having was getting interesting. Especially the part where the ancestral goddess of whatever had some sort of war against a powerful foreign entity.

"Yes… you must be the reason why Yuan'er was able to return".

"What do you want?"

"Nothing… I'd just want to thank you if Yuan'er believes you to be trustworthy enough to hear this conversation... then I shall trust you as well… please, help her protect this world… I don't have much time".

Richter remained silent even at the scrutinizing gaze of both Ni Xuan and Jie Yuan. Protect this world? this world wasn't his concern... but if there was a powerful foe he could fight against without holding back, that would be an amusing thing to occur.

"This is my last message for you two. This is my last remaining will; remember the name of the entity that managed to defeat the Ancestral Goddess at a heavy cost millions of years ago... shattering her in the process and therefore creating us Devil Emperors and Creation Gods before succumbing in a cycle of Samsaras... his name was Regalzeva... a foreign Evil God".

"Regalzeva... got it, boy" Richter smirked, earning scorn from Jie Yuan and Ni Xuan, the latter being more amused while the former was irritated.

"We are millions of years older than you, Richter," She said, recalling that this outstandingly powerful dragon told her that he was 'merely' a hundred thousand-ish years old.

Which would make him without a doubt the most astonishing genius she has seen and would most likely see in her whole existence.

"You're still both kids," Richter remarked with another smirk before turning around to leave those two since he had already received a good piece of intel. His body disappeared like a gust of gold, leaving Ni Xuan and Jie Yuan alone with the girl and boy.

"I really don't have much time, sorry... Yun Che... but you will have to figure things out on your own. Yuan'er, please give him the seed".
