35 Chapter 35 Meeting Ah Yin.

After absorbing all the residual energy in the area, Rayne stretched out his hand. The Kāma martial soul glowed with red-gold light for a second.

Rayne looked at the lifeless body of Tang Hao. He thought for a moment and decided to not destroy it. He still needed it to show off to that arrogant and ignorant Yu Xiaogang, and slap him in the face.

He took out a spare storage soul tool and kept Tang Hao's body in it. He truly didn't feel like putting it in his Gate of Ashburn.

After this…

Rayne focused on the mental fluctuations of Ah Yin that he had felt earlier.

A dark-blue mist erupted from the Kāma seal and started to condense in front of him. A circular vortex of black mist, a rift in space was opened.

This is the Space-Time Transportation technique, one of the innate abilities of Kāma seal.

With this technique, one can go to anywhere, even different dimensions while ignoring the spatial restrictions, as long as you have the co-ordinates.

Rayne stepped into the space rift. As so as he entered, the space rift shrank in size and quickly disappeared.

…

A few dozen miles away from Holy Soul Village.

This is a valley. To be precise, it is a pool of water.

The water in the pool is crystal clear and sparkling, like a huge sapphire.

On one side of the valley, a waterfall about 20 meters wide stretches like a jade belt across the mountain wall nearly 200 meters high. A rumbling sound was caused by its impact on the pool.

The waterfall poured down and hit the pool, causing countless splashes of water. Under the sunlight, a colorful rainbow spans the pool, which is indescribably dazzling.

Surrounded by mountains, it is full of greenery. There was only the rumble of the waterfall around here, but other than that, everything seemed very quiet, peaceful silence.

The waterfall may seem pretty normal, but one would most likely not realize that there are some things hidden here.

At the top of this waterfall…

Behind the waterfall is a dark cave, which is blocked by a massive boulder. And there seems to be some hidden mechanism for moving this boulder away, to get access to the cave.

Deep into the darkness, and in the innermost part, there was a little brightness. One could see a stone hole opened at the top of the cave wall, and a little sunlight was projected in, faintly illuminating the stone chamber below which was only about ten square meters.

The stone room was empty without any furnishings. But just below the stone hole above, there is a small earth bag, and on the earth bag grows a slender blue silver grass seedling.

This is obviously not an ordinary blue silver grass, its grass blades are actually outlined with faint golden lines.

This is the monarch of blue silver grass, Blue Silver Empress.

Or rather, it would be more appropriate to say that, this is the newborn body of the previous Blue Silver Empress after her sacrifice.

Suddenly, a dark blue whirlpool-like fog appeared in the stone chamber, without any disturbance. The dark blue vortex expanded, and a pretty white haired young boy, who looked about seven or eight years old, stepped out of the dark blue vortex.

This white haired boy is Rayne.

He stepped into the stone chamber without any noise or energy fluctuations. It was as if he wasn't there.

Rayne curiously looked around. He spotted a hidden mechanism on the upper walls of the stone chamber. There seemed to be something carefully hidden there.

With his Six Eyes, Rayne could see a black box made of special metal, and a top quality soul bone within it.

Rayne didn't retrieve it immediately. He looked at the weak and frail looking Blue Silver Empress seedling, with a look of interest.

He could feel a lot of negative emotions emanating from this feeble looking blue silver grass.

…

Within the spiritual consciousness space of Blue Silver Empress…

In a spiritual field full of blue silver grass, a beautiful woman with long blue flowing hair and blue eyes was present.

She had curvaceous and elegant figure, a slim waist, and was dressed in an elegant blue dress. Her facial features were simply stunning, and she gave people a feeling of gentleness.

This is Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Empress.

At this time, this beautiful blue haired woman had an expression of despair on her face.

Just a couple of minutes ago, she received Tang Hao's memories from an unbelievably powerful boy. The boy even forcibly shoved the memories into her.

After seeing all those memories of her 'husband', Ah Yin hated herself for being so foolishly naïve.

She couldn't believe that the 'husband' she had loved with all her heart and soul, turned out to be a fraud.

No… the suspicious behavior of Tang Hao was somewhat obvious, if she thinks about it now. But the her back then was stupid enough to ignore it. She was blinded by excessive love.

She also saw the reason why she was planted in such a desolate place.

Tang Hao couldn't bring himself to completely kill her because of his hypocritical love. But he also didn't want her to revive. So, instead of sending her to her home, which is the Blue Silver Forest. He planted her in this closed cave with limited nutrients.

There was a small hole that can bring a bit of sunlight. And the air is filled with moisture because of the waterfall. So, the conditions aren't too bad for growth of a plant.

But, such conditions are only barely enough to keep her alive, but not resurrect her even if she is given ten thousand years.

Tang Hao also felt a bit worry free and less guilt after doing all this.

But,

What broke Ah Yin's heart the most was that…

When she was viewing those memories of Tang Hao, she paid special attention to the situation after her sacrifice, because of the white haired boy's claim of her son being dead.

Then she saw the scene, that confirmed the claim of that outrageously powerful white haired boy.

In the scenario, she saw her child who was crying out in Tang Hao's arms because of the battle, suddenly go silent.

Under the situation, Tang Hao himself, didn't pay attention to this.

But Ah Yin saw that her child had completely become silent and stopped moving whatsoever. Such a situation is obviously impossible in such a chaotic battle.

Ah Yin was heartbroken and cried out at this sight.

This was her child.

Tang Hao may have made her give birth to this child, to make the chances of her voluntary sacrifice higher. But to her, this child was her everything.

It was for this child that she chose to sacrifice her life. Even if it's Tang Hao, she wouldn't be willing to sacrifice. Because she is the singular monarch of Blue silver grass, and the entire race is dependant on her. So, even if she loved Tang Hao very much, she wouldn't be willing to sacrifice while ignoring her race.

Even her cultivation was granted to her by the constant offerings of countless blue silver grass.

But, she, for her child's sake, chose to sacrifice. For the safety of her child.

As if tricking her wasn't enough. When Ah Yin saw the way Tang Hao raised Tang San, her anger was raised by ten points.

The sight of Tang Hao shoving down sizzling hot porridge down the throat of a one year old Tang San, made Ah Yin almost have a heart attack. If she wasn't a spiritual body, she most likely would've had a heart attack.

Ah Yin knew for certain, even if her original child had survived in the battle, he would've died under Tang Hao's 'care'.

If not for the 'old monster' that occupied her son's body, any normal child would've died under this barbaric way of raising a child.

Ah Yin was extremely angry and sad, completely unable to accept that her son was actually a soul from another world.

She was infuriated when she saw the hypocritical attitude of Tang Hao, after Tang San's martial soul awakening. Even though she is full of hatred and rejection for Tang San… she was outraged by Tang Hao.

As more and more thoughts occupied her mind, Ah Yin felt unprecedented hatred towards Tang Hao and Tang San.

Her entire being was exuding a dark aura.

She wanted revenge and do justice for her original son.

But… Tang Hao was dead! Killed by that outrageously powerful boy, who is most likely the reincarnation of a legendary god.

Although she felt very unsatisfied with this, she couldn't say anything. She knew that, with her own strength, it's almost impossible to match up to Tang Hao's super combat prowess.

So, in a way, she is thankful to that boy for killing Tang Hao.

But now, she wants to kill Tang San. She just wanted to keep her dead son's body from being desecrated and let her dead son's body rest in peace!

She absolutely didn't want some old monster to keep using her son's body.

But she is in a bind now.

She wants to kill Tang San, but she has no way to do it. She is trapped in this stone chamber, with not enough strength to leave here.

Due to her helpless state, Ah Yin was feeling more and more negative emotions, and her dark aura started to thicken, starting to affect even her body.

"I think you should calm down a bit."

Suddenly, a childish calm voice was heard behind her. Ah Yin turned around in shock, only to see the terrifying boy who killed Tang Hao.

It was Rayne, who invaded Ah Yin's spiritual consciousness space effortlessly.

At the same time, an extremely positive energy burst out from him, which cleansed all the negative energy in Ah Yin.

"You…"

She suddenly turned pale, fearing that Rayne came here to get rid off her as well. She was truly frightened now. This boy is a frightening being. Just the fact that he entered her own spiritual consciousness sea without her even detecting it, frightened Ah Yin.

The whole spiritual consciousness space was affected by Ah Yin's negative emotions. Fear, hatred, sorrow, despair, unwillingness, etc,.

But, the thought of her son's body being desecrated by some old monster, Ah Yin overcame her fear and looked at Rayne. Even, Rayne's current six-year-old appearance lessened her fear of him a bit.

"Oh mighty being, please give me a chance to put my son's body to rest. After that, I'll end myself." Ah Yin pleaded to Rayne with a crying voice.

"…"

Hearing this, Rayne was speechless. He knew that this woman seems to have misunderstood that he is going to kill her.

Rayne was silent for a moment, before saying, "It's impossible."

"…" Ah Yin's expression froze.

"It's impossible for you, or for the matter of fact, anyone except me, to kill Tang San in Douluo continent." Rayne stated.

"What?! Why?! Are you going to protect him?!" Ah Yin was shocked and aggrieved.

"Not me. It's one of the five God Kings of Douluo Divine Realm. Tang San is under his protection. He also has the protection of tremendous luck." Rayne shrugged.

"Gods…" Ah Yin had an expression of despair. She felt hopeless after hearing that, the despicable 'old monster' possessing her son's body was protected by gods.

To be called King of Gods, this being must be exceptionally powerful, even among gods.

"Maybe… it's a coincidence.. that God might not care about mortal affairs…?" Ah Yin muttered, hoping for a positive reply.

But unfortunately…

"Too bad for you. That trash has no qualms in interfering with the mortal world, as long as his interests are touched." Rayne sneered at Ah Yin's naïve thought.

He continued, so that this woman wouldn't have any stupid thoughts of directly targeting Tang San.

It's not that Rayne is protecting Tang San. Rather, he's avoiding making things more complicated.

Tang San's regression/reincarnation in six years, is already set in stone. If Tang San is killed before the plot of Shrek Academy, who knows where he will be reborn, or whose body he will possess.

To put it simply, there's no point in killing Tang San at this time period. Anyway, one of his biggest protection, Tang Hao is already dead.

As for Asura God… If he dares to take direct action, Rayne will obliterate him with the special pendant, which contains a full power attack of Rayne during his time as God of Infinity.

Rayne looked at the beautiful Ah Yin, who had a hopeless look.

"Do you want to get rid of Tang San?"

Hearing this, Ah Yin had a light of hope shine in her eyes, before it went out.

"My Lord… you aren't able to help me, aren't you?" Ah Yin asked with a low voice.

Rayne raised his eyebrows at Ah Yin's question.

"Why do you say that? Also, no need to be so honorific towards me."

"In the vague inherited memories of Blue Silver Emperor lineage, there is some knowledge of gods. I also know that God Kings are the strongest gods." Ah Yin said.

Rayne didn't say anything, but just listened.

"You said it yourself that reincarnation comes only after death. Since you died once, you couldn't be a very powerful God during your peak." Ah Yin said slowly.again

Ah Yin may be a bit stupid, but even she can see some abnormalities through Tang Hao's memories.

Her encounter with Tang Hao itself was strange, and the fact that she fell in love with him, regardless of him being from a big sect like Clear Sky Clan, made no sense to her at this point.

She even felt that she might have been mentally manipulated before her sacrifice. Otherwise, she, as a soul beast incarnation, wouldn't possibly be stupid enough to get together with the hier of Clear Sky Clan.

Even, from Tang Hao's memories, she saw Xiao Wu, a soul beast incarnation just like her, appearing near Tang San.

Just how similar is this to her own situation?

She also witnessed Rayne take away a terrifying energy from Tang Hao. This further solidified her guess that, she's been manipulated from the moment she met Tang Hao.

Ah Yin now felt that she is in a script written up by that God King. She felt creepy after thinking to this point.

Hearing Ah Yin's words.

Rayne was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud.

"Hahaha! Me weak? You truly are amusing."

As he said that, Rayne burst out with a little bit of his bloodline aura!

All of a sudden, the spiritual consciousness space was overwhelmed and overtook by Rayne, and it's entire appearance changed.

The sea of blue silver grass turned into the vast space full of stars. All sorts of celestial bodies could be seen.

At the same time, Ah Yin felt like a shock passed through her body and soul. A memory arose from the very depths of her genes.

The memory of a silver-white haired blue eyes man with the visual illusion aura of a silver-white enormous serpent-like dragon. With this memory came an unprecedented fear, awe, adoration and respect.

The only words in this vague memory that represented the identity of the man, the title acknowledged by the entirety of soul beast race of ancient times was…

The Strongest!

Ah Yin was in a daze. From the vague memory, she knew how much of a terrifying existence she is facing right now.

"Do you still think I am weak?" Rayne asked with a teasing smile.

Ah Yin's expression froze, as she was speechless.

Suddenly.

Ah Yin's eyes lit up!

"Yes! I still have a chance!"

"I still have a chance to avenge my child!" Ah Yin thought.

In her cognition…

Today, the only person who can stand up to a God King for her is probably the man/boy in front of her!

To possess the title of the strongest in the era where there were gods and God kings all over the place. This man/boy's strength at his peak is definitely beyond her imagination.

But… why should he help her?

Based on what capacity can she let the man/boy in front of her, help her?

Thinking of this, Ah Yin felt a little sad in her heart.

There seems to be no reason for the man/boy in front of her to help her?

Enticing him with her beauty? But she's just a grass right now!

Surely someone as great as the person before her wouldn't covet her? Right?

Thinking of this, A Yin felt desperate again.
