Chapter 1618 - b.u.t.terfly Effect


Every time they returned to the real world and recalled what had happened within the wondersky realm, the difference between vitae and caeli made it so that everything that had happened in the wondersky realm felt unreal. It was like how dreams felt realistic while one was dreaming, but ludicrous when one thought about what actually happened while fully conscious.


After the interfacing between Feiling"s caelum and vita upon waking up, she had changed a lot. Even when Tianming wasn"t touching her, her body still seemed frosty, and the blue remained in one of her eyes. Her aura seemed to give off a chill, and even she was panicking over it. Her mood waffled between panic and coldness.


"It"s fine, Big Brother. This was my choice, so I won"t let you feel bad about it. I’ll try my best to shake off this curse," she said, forcing a nonchalant smile. However, she quickly took a few steps back and painfully looked at Tianming, as if she had been acting moments before. Her two personalities conflicting with each other seemed so torturous that Tianming found it hard to bear.


"From Xian Xian"s dream, I know for a fact that the Lord of Perpetia exists. She eventually reincarnated and became Xuanyuan Xi, who eventually created the acquired G.o.dchild. Now that Xuanyuan Xi is gone, this other personality of hers must be the lord. Given the sound of her t.i.tle, she probably gained eternal life using Perpetual Nirvana, something that seemed even more ridiculous than the Cyclic Mirror. What in the world did she have to do with Feiling? Was she someone with completely different memories? Or did they share the same body?


Feiling said that she only had one vita, yet there were two of her. That showed that the Lord of Perpetia was probably different from Xuanyuan Xi. She couldn"t just be a different soul, but rather Feiling herself. After all, her current vita was the result of the fusion with her original vita and Xuanyuan Xi"s. However, the manifestation of a completely different personality like this was completely puzzling for him. Tianming hadn"t dabbled much in the highly complex matters of the soul, after all.


"It"s fine now, Big Brother," she said as she seemed to snap out of it. It was clear that their interaction had angered the other personality to the point that she felt she had been sullied.


"I should start researching souls to see if there"s a way I can resolve the issue," Tianming said, standing two meters away. From now on, it seemed like approaching her would be difficult. Before, they could at least get close to each other without touching, but now they had to keep a distance.


"Big Brother... I want to be with you without having to go to the wondersky realm as well."


"Yeah, let"s give it our best." Though he wanted to hug her to rea.s.sure her, the frost kept them apart. It felt like their world had collapsed. Perhaps the other personality could just barely tolerate them frolicking within the wondersky realm, but doing it in real life was the final line they shouldn"t cross.


Tianming promised to do his best to find a solution. Fortunately, the most effective way to solve any problem was strength. He could only race against time if he continued growing his cultivation, experience, and soul.


"Since the reaction this time was that strong, we should hold back and see if it calms down," he said.


"Alright!" Though her gaze seemed to resist it, she did her best to nod. Her beautiful face looked like it wasn"t in the right place, and it hurt him to see her like that.


Ling"er, I won"t let anyone take you from me. Making that solemn vow, he made sure to burn their beautiful experience into his mind.


......


From the courtyard of Violetpeak, one could see the reflection of the lights from the violetstar clouds above in the lake. The clouds above looked like a sea of stars. Though the Violetglory Star was only a heliacal cla.s.s nova source world, its vastness was still something to behold. Most of the cultivators of this world would never be able to leave it for the rest of their lives.


A girl in a long dress stood atop the surface of a lake under the night sky. She seemed to have aged a lot in an instant as the blue in her left eye suddenly receded. There was a change in her aura, making her seem more mature than before and giving her an extra layer of charm. Her eyes that reflected the starlight seemed really gentle.


Feiling sat on a rock beside the lake, her dress flowing with her curves and spreading out across the ground. She turned her eyes toward her reflection in the lake and three pairs of white wings materialized behind her, making her look like a fairy maiden.


The wings stretched out to a wingspan of a hundred meters. They flapped once, creating a storm near the lake that caused many ripples and splashes. Time and time again, the wings flapped, disturbing the water in the lake until it mostly dried up. The water slowly rained down around her, making it look like a rainy night back at the Divine Capital.


"Ling"er?" Tianming called out to her. Only then did the flapping stop.


The water in the lake calmed down, but half of it was gone. Her wings scattered into spots of white light and vanished, making her look even more dreamlike. When she turned around, the chill returned to her body and she suddenly seemed foreign again. Even so, she struggled to make her cold face smile. "I was only out here to let loose."


"Alright. I"ll join you." Tianming sat down on a rock twenty meters away from her, looking ahead. Perhaps that would make the other her less guarded against him. There was no telling who she was. If she really was the Lord of Perpetia, she wasn’t an enemy that he could handle. While their relations.h.i.+p seemed smooth sailing, this mysterious persona was their biggest roadblock now. They had an even harder time than Lingfeng and Qingyu did.


At that moment, Yin Chen reported something even more bone chilling to him. He had left some of its copies at Primary, but they had remained active the entire time, even after they came to the Violetglory Star. In other words, the two worlds were close enough for the connection to be maintained.


He had left them there because of the Prime Tower, and something had happened at the Kunlan Realm all the way at Primary. Strong waves suddenly came out of the entrance, crus.h.i.+ng a few uninhabited asteroids near it. While they weren"t that big, they were still comparable to a large continent or two. Though he didn"t know much about the place, he could be sure that it was unprecedented.


All this time, the Kunlan Realm was only known for the birth of primalwings. However, the incident mirrored the destruction of the Myriaddragon Continent by the Primodragon Cave. The only difference was that the asteroids near the Kunlan Realm were uninhabited, not that it was relevant to Tianming.


However, Yin Chen said that it had detected that the frequency of Feiling"s wing flaps were identical to that of the ripples on the lake-like surface of the Kunlan Realm! There was some kind of distant resonance at play. Yin Chen confirmed that thousands of its bodies had witnessed the same scene, so it couldn"t have been an error.


"When the Flashsoul Skywings emerged from the Kunlan Realm, they flew to her in an instant. And now something like this happened! The Lord of Perpetia definitely has something to do with the Kunlan Realm... the same one that swallowed my Prime Tower."
