107 Chapter: 105
Darkness presented itself everywhere. And standing in this extremely dark place with pursed lips and an awkward smile was Yun Che, staring at the woman standing in front of him. She had extremely black hair, so black that it seamlessly merged with the world of darkness.
'... Well, shit! This was the least possible scenario I had in my mind. And I thought getting the Vital Yin of the Ancestral Goddess would be interesting and fun, but nah. Fuck a woman, and you are invited to the private abode of the creator of the universe. Sounds like one hell of a main quest. Good thing I spent most of my time grinding random shit and did not focus on the main quest much… Should I fuck her too?'
"Who are you?"
"The guy who was supposed to be fucking his aunt right now if not for the fact that he was pulled into an unknown space by an unknown woman the moment he put his little brother in the lock it was supposed to unlock."
"..." Silence within the darkness felt extra heavy today as the black-haired woman kept staring at Yun Che with an extremely emotionless gaze, enough to make him uncomfortable.
"You are not Yun Che… I cannot read your fate anymore. You are not supposed to be here either, not until you reach the end at least… This was not how it was supposed to go."
'Oh sorry, I didn't know we were playing minecraft, Miss Enderdragon.'
"Is this the moment you are going to kill me and restart the world? Lemme tell you, I am extremely prejudiced against people who hurt me. Today for you, and the future for me. I am definitely coming after your ass, literally."
"... You do not have to worry about that as I do not hold the power to kill you."
"Quite honest of you." Yun Che raised his brow in surprise, not expecting her to admit her own powerlessness so openly. "I expected… some threats at least."
"I have seen enough to know they won't work. Instead, I have a proposal…"
'Oh great! Another voyeur! Jasmine, I found a kindred spirit for you!'
{Go kill yourself. This princess never asked to be in this situation either!}
'Ah yes, says the girl who could very well close all her senses. But alright, we won't talk about that. On the other hand, I am surprised that you are also here. I thought I was the chosen one… Guess delusions can only take you so far.'
{... You should be worrying about something else right now.}
'Yeah… I wonder if Little Aunt thinks I am so overwhelmed with having my dick inside her that I spaced the fuck out…'
{NOT THAT, PERVERT! This Princess cannot feel her powers or any profound energy within this space! If something happens, you are on your own.}
'Honestly, "True Story" still hits the best for me.'
[AN: For those who did not get it, it's a Taylor Swift reference. "You're on your own" and "True Story," both are her songs.]
{No, what are you even talking about?}
'... Sorry for being nervous, geez, man can't even feel nervous now… I'm the one who got pulled into a completely different space while having fucking sex, not you. So chill down your lil' juicy ass and questionable tits; Imma see what I can do.'
Sudden killing intent spread into Yun Che's senses, and the black-haired woman's eyes suddenly gleamed. The next thing he knew, he could not feel Jasmine's presence anymore.
'—!? Fuck! Did she nuke Jasmine?!' Panic kicked into himself, but her next words calmed him down.
"Do not worry. I just kicked her out of the space... She has no reason to be here."
'Then don't fucking pull her in the first place, how about that? Fuuuu~ calm down, calm down. She cannot do shit to you, you need to fucking calm down.'
Taking deep breaths, Yun Che looked at her before finally asking.
"So... what's the deal? As long as it doesn't involve me stupidly jumping in front of a Creation God or sacrificing my life for the greater good or calling me a wizard, I am more than willing to hear it out."
A small silence appeared between them before she opened her cherry lips, her hypnotic voice reaching Yun Che's ears flawlessly.
"Primal Chaos is dying... and it should not be long before this world would not be able to bear the presence of cultivators, soon dying after. That is the same reason why no True God appeared in this world for millions of years, after the death of True Gods and Creation Gods. During the fight between Gods and Devils, the Reincarnation Well, which was guided by the Dragon Clan, was damaged, further damaging the foundations of the Primal Chaos, canceling the cycle of reincarnation. Death had no place and could only burden the world. If such matters are not solved, it won't be long before you people will find yourself in a barren world, a dead world with no energy whatsoever."
Yun Che stared at the black-haired girl's face and nodded.
"Hm, sounds epic. So what's my part in all of this?"
"... Initially, you were supposed to follow the laid-down path and save the world."
Feeling her monotonous gaze that seemed to want to penetrate his very soul to see all his secrets, Yun Che coughed, trying to hide his embarrassment.
'Ah man, I really fucked up her plans, huh... Guess the hero's not a hero anymore...'
The black-haired woman shook her head, not finding anything about him before continuing.
"So it doesn't matter now. I have already lost my powers, and this was my last reincarnation. Even if I want to, I cannot do much. In a sense, it is not a deal but me giving you the news. What you do with it is up to you. Either look for a way to save the world, or die with it."
"... Can I not choose the third option?"
"Oh? And what would that be?" asked the black-haired woman, obviously curious about Yun Che's choice.
"Run outside of Primal Chaos."
"Foolish. There is naught but utter chaos outside of the Primal Chaos. No life can exist unless a miracle happens."
"I am not talking about living there..." He had first thought about other universes, but then he looked at her and added. "When you say Chaos exists outside of Primal Chaos, what do you mean by that?"
"Amalgamation of hundreds of billions of energies colliding with each other."
Yun Che's eyes shone with excitement hearing that, as if finding the piece he was looking for.
"Then isn't that the best-case scenario? Can we not use those energies to feed Primal Chaos? Something like using it as a source to generate more energy for Primal Chaos and let it run? As for the damaged Reincarnation Well, that's just some law manipulation. I can do it if I see Reincarnation Well once."
Reincarnation Well itself was the place where laws related to reincarnation swam freely. He only needed to take a look inside before his Menu picked all of it as a skill and delivered it to him. He only needed to manipulate and repair it, quite easy with the Menu at his disposal.
"I did not think you would be this dumb, foreigner. What makes you think that you can control and bring order to the chaos outside when you have never seen it before? Or are you that delusional that you cannot see the reality of things? I may be able to control those energies and even live outside of Primal Chaos unhindered—after all, I was born in that chaos—but it's impossible for even me to bring order to that chaos and use it as a source for his world; I would not be having such problems otherwise."
Her eyes suddenly narrowed and her lips curled up slightly.
"Or are you suggesting that you, a mortal and a foreigner, are better than me, Ancestral Goddess?"
"Okay, chill out with those grand titles a little. I understand you are grand and all that shit, no need to slap it on my face." Yun Che rolled his eyes before answering. "As for controlling and bringing order, you might not be able to do it, but I might be able to do it. Did you not hear it? If there is one ability I am proud of, then that's comprehension. As long as I understand fully the chaos outside, controlling it won't be hard."
"Oh, and how shall you do it? By not dying in it?"
"About that…" Yun Che stared at her before a soft smirk formed over his face. How could she understand that once he reached the Divine Master realm, all his authorities would be awakened! At that point, killing him would be impossible!
Not only that, he might even be able to save the world with Unit Creation without doing all that chaos bullshit.
But since he cannot say that to her, he decided to come up with an alternate source—and that was chaos. And, to be honest, Yun Che thought his idea made a shit ton of sense.
