Before the battle in Heaven...
Xie Qing was pacing down a narrow and dark corridor. This space appeared suddenly, as if out of thin air.
The most amazing thing was that it was in his spirit world, which means the possibility of interference from the outside.
Overcome by curiosity, he began walking toward the light at the end of... Corridor?
An incomprehensible sense of unease visited Xie Qing's chest and his gaze turned to the south.
From there he felt a strong wavering that made his soul tremble with pain.
Xie Qing squinted furiously as he recognized these vibrations. Since their marriage, he and Aria had been firmly bound together.
He closed his eyes and felt her soul, in which chaos was going on. However, he only smirked and opened his mouth.
His throat felt like the universe, and the force of gravity unintentionally drew everything to itself.
The little rune in Aria's soul was captured and digested, turning into another energy.
Xie Qing snorted and poured his energy into Aria's soul, causing it to regenerate.
After making sure she was safe, he strode forward.
For another thirty minutes he paced until he reached the light. That's when he saw the unbelievable sight...
"You..."
In the air sat a young man with long yellow hair. He had no pupils, only whites.
His lean body was wrapped in a white robe, and his serious posture pressed on Xie Qing.
Ding!
[New Assignment: Creator]
[Description: You have met one of the strongest beings in the world. Talk to him].
[Reward: New system feature, 47,999 points, Harvest skill fragment.]
Xie Qing paid no attention to the task and only looked at the powerful figure in the sky.
His soul trembled as if he was standing in front of someone incredibly powerful.
The man seemed to notice Xie Qing's presence. His white eyes focused on him, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
[What an encounter.]
A system window appeared before Xie Qing, but its contents were strange.
[My situation is somewhat similar to the Mind of the Abyss. But I have more power.]
He smiled fully and suddenly disappeared, appearing in the same second in front of Xie Qing.
"!!!"
Xie Qing jumped back and squinted cautiously. He didn't even notice him approaching!
[Don't be scared, I have no intentions of killing you.]
The creator grinned and waved his hand as if trying to ease the tension. Xie Qing sighed.
After cleansing his bloodline, he had broken through directly to the S-level. But even now he felt like an ant. compared to the Creator.
Seemingly guessing his thoughts, the Creator rubbed Xie Qing's hair.
[You're still young. You have plenty of time.]
Xie Qing raised an eyebrow, but did not brush aside his patting. His gaze was directed straight into the eyes of the Creator.
The man smiled and they suddenly found themselves above Heaven, looking at the war. Xie Qing opened his eyes wide and tried to fly there, but he could not move.
[This is just a vision, not reality.]
Xie Qing sighed and turned his gaze to the situation. The angels were losing by numbers, plus the surprise attack factor had kicked in.
The creator looked at this situation indifferently, as if he had seen it an infinite number of times.
[Wars are commonplace in the Supernatural world. Although this event can only be called a skirmish, and that with a stretch.]
[Trillions of years ago we fought to the death for our existence. There was no word for "peace" in our vocabulary.
"I suppose this situation is extremely amusing to you?" Xie Qing watched Aria carefully.
[Quite. To me it is more like child's play.] The Creator grinned.
[I invited you here in order for you to understand the whole situation.]
A system window appeared in front of Xie Qing.
[The task "Talk to the Creator" has been completed.]
[Rewards will be sent out.]
Xie Qing paid no attention to them and stared intently at the Creator, waiting for his words.
[This world is cruel and full of dangers.]
[Z-level is not the limit.]
[And you are the key to reaching higher levels.]
"Therefore..."
[[[BE CAREFUL!]
Three loud voices sounded in Xie Qing's head. One belonged to the Abyss, the other to the Creator, and the other to an unknown person.
Xie Qing nodded at their warning and looked to Heaven.
[Time to be heroic, little one.] The Creator grinned and space began to crumble.
[Remember.]
[You must go all the way.]
Xie Qing stepped forward and disappeared into the portal that appeared.
It was his first encounter with the Creator.
...
Xie Qing opened his eyes and his violet eyes gleamed with light and then returned to their normal state.
Feeling a softness under the back of his head, Xie Qing looked up and saw a girl who was looking at him with a sweet expression.
"Aria..." Xie Qing smiled softly and placed his hand on her cheek, rubbing it gently.
Aria smiled and covered his hand with hers. Xie Qing felt her love and affection.
His heart was beating fast, like a teenager's. Xie Qing felt the peace that had been missing for so long.
It seemed as if time had stopped for them and their eyes were only directed at each other.
"I missed you." Xie Qing smiled and gently kissed her thin lips.
Aria giggled sweetly and kissed him back.
The surrounding elves clutched at their hearts, and the lonely, steamless ones tried to hold back tears.
Lily and Melissa watched them from the gazebo.
The former was smiling, but her smile seemed strained. Melissa, on the other hand, watched them silently.
A feeling of jealousy came over her, but quickly enough she reconciled herself.
Xie Qing scrutinized the missed notices.
What interested him the most was the new feature, Simulator.
With it Xie Qing could simulate any circumstances and see the result. So he launched it and simulated the fight against Lucifer.
The fight lasted an hour and they both used their abilities to the max. However, it ended in a draw, although Lucifer had the advantage.
Next he tried to fight against himself and ended up both of them dead.
Such a result did not excite Xie Qing much, but the function pleasantly surprised him.
He simulated one last situation and was pleased with the result.
When he opened his eyes, he suddenly felt a different sensation.
Melissa's face, which was staring at him impassively, appeared in Xie Qing's eyes and he grinned.
Melissa blushed and looked away. Her hips were definitely better than Aria's.
Plump and nice. Xie Qing lifted her up and kissed her on the lips, leaving the girl stunned.
He nonchalantly stepped forward and disappeared, making the girls laugh.
Ignoring the laughter, Xie Qing flew toward the World Tree.
It was time to check the information he had received from the Creator.
