All three of them stopped their thoughts again, looking at Yasenia as if she was a crazy person. Angel stuttered, "Y-Yasenia, although I'm thankful, I don't think that we have to go that far. I think it will be more troublesome than helpful if you force Saint Fu Jing Jing to do that."
The Mirror laughed in ridicule, "What can a junior force? If Jing Jing wanted, she would already be dead!"
Angel frowned and pouted, "Stop saying those things!"
The Mirror choked in her laughter and shut up, looking at Angel stupidly, 'I forgot I am in a slave contract with her! Ugh, so bothersome.' She humphed and glared at Yasenia.
Fu Jing Jing, however, wouldn't underestimate the heaven-defying dragon in front of her. She can't remember the number of seniors that fell to "inexperienced" juniors because they underestimated them too much.
Yasenia patted Angel's head and explained, "You see… My mother has always been fearful that I fell into the trap of someone offering me an inheritance. I was born with one, so my mother told me not to accept another because the risk overweights the benefits. However, she also taught me two important things after something almost irreversible happened to one of my lovers."
Fu Jing Jing suddenly remembered one demonic practice, and her eyes widened with fear.
Yasenia saw it and her smile returned to the previous cruel one, "The first thing is that, after adding and mixing blood essence in an assimilation or inheritance ritual, depending on the blood essence quality, the inheritance would evolve and get out of the control of the one giving the inheritance."
Fu Jing Jing shook her head and exclaimed, "You wouldn't dare! You wouldn't dare do that demonic practice!"
Yasenia's smile widened and said, her silver eyes being tainted by red as if red ink had dropped into her iris. "The second thing is that, right after the inheritance, since it was stained with blood, the person receiving the inheritance will gain the ability to devour the one giving the inheritance. This will let the inheritor gain the remaining karma and luck of the one giving the inheritance at the cost of a little bit of potential. However, if the absorbed senior is strong enough, absorbing them would result in a better result than not doing it."
Yasenia chuckled and said, "Miss Saint is plenty strong, wouldn't you think?"
The Mirror said, her voice cold, "If you do that, you can forget of me aiding Angel. I will not only not aid her, but I will also try to sabotage everything I can!"
Yasenia raised an eyebrow, "Do you have a chance? You are a slave, Truth Mirror. No matter how powerful, you can't disobey Angel as long as her orders do not harm you."
The Mirror sneered and said, "Didn't you hate demons? You are worse than one at this moment."
Yasenia laughed, "I can guess how you learned that information. Still, who asked you to almost cripple my dear permanently? There must be a punishment, you like it or not."
Yasenia looked back at the Mirror with a cold gaze and said, "Even if you don't aid her, I don't care. I'm more than enough help for Angel to reach the pinnacle. You are nothing more than a powerful weapon."
Fu Jing Jing looked at the black sphere around her and then at Yasenia.
Her voice was calm as she said, "I was confused about your objective, but now I know about it. I didn't want to do this, but you left me with no choice."
Yasenia looked at Fu Jing Jing and asked, "Are you going to explode yourself? Soul explosion is certainly powerful. I will certainly die if you do that. However, it is even worse than being devoured. Although you will be able to reincarnate after a soul explosion, your future reincarnations will be filled with extremely bad luck. A sex slave, having your family slaughtered, all your loved ones dying, betrayal, everything bad you can think about will certainly happen."
Fu Jing Jing's calm facade broke, "How do you know that? Soul explosion is only a concept known by Gods!"
Yasenia proudly said, "My mother is awesome, after all."
Angel nodded, parroting Yasenia. "En, Mommy Tatyana is super awesome!"
"Anyway, Saintess Fu Jing Jing, I will give you an option since, well, even I don't want to be this ruthless to the person that supposedly saved the cultivation world. I also don't want the Mirror to be rebellious with Angel since it could mean the difference between life and death in a tense moment. Moreover, the knowledge of the Mirror will help Angel tremendously."
The Mirror and Fu Jing Jing listened attentively. Yasenia said, her voice regaining her calm tone with a touch of gentleness. "Give all your soul power to Angel. Then, go into the cycle of reincarnation."
They were surprised for a second, and then Fu Jing Jing smiled. "You sure are a cheeky dragon. I don't think I've ever had such big ups and downs of emotions in such a short timeframe. You win, Yasenia. Although I wanted to do some things, agreeing with you isn't a bad deal."
Fu Jing Jing looked at the clueless Angel and smiled softly, "Even if she has mutated, she is still my inheritor. A very cute and gentle inheritor."
Then, she looked at Yasenia and said, "I will accept the deal."
"I thought your head was empty. It seems that you are full of ideas." The Mirror snorted, but it was clear that it was also agreeable.
They reacted like that because of the definition of Soul Power. Soul power is not only the strength of the soul, but it also has luck, karma, and accumulated deeds in it.
For example, someone that has killed millions of innocent people dies. Then, they would reincarnate, and the reincarnation would be prone to slaughter. Of course, where they grow up, who they meet, and what they learn when growing up can change the person. But their nature would be that of someone that feels nothing for killing.
The reason for this is that when the soul reincarnates, even though they lose their memories most of the time, there is still some influence from their past lives.
Fu Jing Jing's soul power would make her somewhat of a kind, heroic, talented, and courageous woman in her next reincarnation. However, because of her Saint feats, she would also carry the mentality of a martyr.
Fu Jing Jing was sure that her next reincarnation would die after sacrificing themselves for something or someone. The influence from her Saint Title was too big, after all.
There was a risk when losing Soul Power, which was that after someone gives or loses their soul power, the soul would be unable to remain independent, meaning that they would be forced to reincarnate.
So asking her to reincarnate was a way to say, "I want you to strengthen your inheritor and stop being an influence in this world."
In other words, Yasenia wanted Fu Jing Jing to cut her fate with everything and reincarnate as a new leaf. If Fu Jing Jing were to reincarnate before giving her soul strength, she would keep the karma she accumulated in her life and certainly would reach extreme heights once again.
But Fu Jing Jing didn't want something like that.
Therefore, Fu Jing Jing was actually glad about giving up supremacy and her soul traits for a peaceful life. The Mirror was very fond of Fu Jing Jing, so it was almost happier than Fu Jing Jing herself. Knowing that Fu Jing Jing had wanted to exit from this vortex she was in, she was glad about this outcome.
They both looked at Yasenia deeply and sighed. Fu Jing Jing chuckled, "You actually played us, seniors, easily. You didn't want to kill me since the beginning."
Yasenia snorted, "Although I'm extremely angry at both of you, I am not stupid enough to endanger my dears because of killing a Saint. You wouldn't even have to lose an arm if the arrogant Mirror wasn't cocky and maintained its mouth closed."
The Mirror's eyebrow twitched in annoyance, 'I will never be able to get along with this stupid lizard!'
Yasenia continued, "I know what it means to kill or absorb someone titled as a Saint by the Heavens themselves. However, I meant every word of what I said before. I just let you go because it is the best solution to maintain a relatively calm life. Being stubborn because of pride and arrogance is the epitome of stupidity."
When she finished saying that, the black sphere around Fu Jing Jing disappeared.
Fu Jing Jing slowly floated downward towards them.
Even without an arm, her figure was still ethereally beautiful. Fu Jing Jing gave a little laugh at the absurdity of the situation. "Little Angel, you got one heck of a protector. Cherish her dearly."
Angel's proudness and adoration level broke their limit. A Saint sincerely praising her Yasenia? She will brag about this plenty in the near future. 'As expected, Yasenia is the best~.'
Angel suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, my constitution changed into [Scarlet Heart's Prismatic Crystal Body]. They have both combined into one!"
Fu Jing Jing stopped and thought about it for a second. Then, she said, "I have never heard about that physique. I suppose it is the result of absorbing the dragon's blood essence. There will be a big change after you cross into the Dantian Spiritualization realm or Transcendence realm. Well, I can't feel evilness from it, so you shouldn't worry."
Angel nodded.
Fu Jing Jing looked at the Mirror and said, "Guide her well. However, remember that her path is not the same as mine. Don't try to impose it on her; you just have to be her advisor."
The Mirror smiled and said, "Don't worry. Who would want to have a master that kills themselves? Not me, at least."
Fu Jing Jing laughed, "It was honestly something I didn't expect to do. However, I couldn't continue staying put and seeing the world slowly destroy itself. Many Gods and Immortals fell to that Tribulation, all because the Sun God and Moon Goddess almost damaged the Heavens irreversibly while killing each other."
Yasenia asked curiously, "Are they alive?"
Fu Jing Jing shook her head, "Impossible. They used attacks that killed them. However, they may have left an inheritance somewhere. They were also from the dragon race, so you may have much more to do with them than you think."
Yasenia asked, "Can you describe them?"
Fu Jing Jing nodded, "The Moon Goddess looked as cold as the Moon, and she was as beautiful as a starry sky. Her black dragon tail was elegant and long, and her bearing was imposing. Not many were as strong as her."
Yasenia's eyebrow jumped. Then she asked, "What about the Sun God?"
"He could illuminate the day with his smile, just like the Morning Sun, and his presence was all-encompassing. His Golden dragon tail marked his status, and his charm made women and even some men flock like fireflies to the flame. Even if they knew they would burn, they wanted to at least touch that flame for a second."
Yasenia blinked and smiled, "Interesting."
Fu Jing Jing looked at Angel and said, "Relax your mind, Angel. I'm going to transfer it."
Angel nodded and closed her eyes.
Fu Jing Jing leaned forward and touched Angel's forehead with her own.
Then, her body exploded in beautiful white particles and dissipated. Angel's aura didn't change much, but when Yasenia tried to prove her with her energy, she felt as if that energy had fallen into a bottomless ocean.
Angel's soul couldn't and didn't instantly absorb all that soul power, but there was a white sphere floating in her spiritual sea that would slowly unravel as she advanced in cultivation. Now, Angel's potential was limitless.
Moreover, that soul power was pure and for Angel to mold with her actions. Therefore, it wouldn't affect her in any way or form.
The Mirror looked at those particles and smiled softly, "Thank you for your hard work. I pray for you to have a beautiful and fulfilling life, Jing Jing."
Angel opened her eyes slowly and looked at those light particles. Then, she smiled and said, "May the Saint rest and live happily for all her reincarnations."
