This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder-Chapter 659: Divinities and Departures

Daoyi stood in the void above the Nine Heavens System. She was an insignificant speck of dust compared to the infinite universe. Yet, at this very moment, she seemed to have become the center of all creation.

A black-and-white aura covered her body. Anyone who gazed upon the black aura would feel their body weaken and their soul sucked out of it. Conversely, anyone who saw the white aura would feel their spirit lifted and vitality bursting forth. Together, these two contradictory auras gave Daoyi a paradoxical temperament.

It wasn’t just her body, but her eyes too.

In one eye, her sclera had become pitch black while her iris turned bleach white. Her pupil remained black, but it resembled a black hole sucking in the colors of everything nearby. Her other eye was the complete opposite, with a white pupil, black iris, and pure white sclera.

If one could withstand gazing into Daoyi’s eyes, they would see a seed. It was simultaneously all black and white, creating a contradiction just like Daoyi’s current self.

Daoyi spread her arms as if to embrace someone. The moment she did so, her aura surged, and something seemed to have materialized—but it was invisible to all. Divine essence of chaos surged toward her location from all nine heavens.

She accepted it with—quite literally—open arms. The divine essence of chaos did not harm her. Her robes did not drip apart; her skin did not melt. Instead, her skin became luminescent as the divine essence of chaos entered her body through every pore, enhancing her beauty.

The immortal sovereign stayed in that position for hours. The hours turned into days. Before anyone knew it, months had passed. Even that eventually turned into years. Yet, Daoyi kept the same posture as if she were a marble sculpture.

Although nothing seemed to have changed, reality was far different. The seed in Daoyi’s mind was continuously accumulating energy, ready to burst and birth a new world. The seed’s radiance also intensified, as if the protective shell could no longer contain what was within.

Black-and-white radiance erupted from Daoyi’s body as it expanded and transformed into a whole new world. Life immediately flourished upon its creation. It was a world with not much space but with vast lands and seas suitable for a myriad of life. Every blade of grass, and even each pile of dirt, was alive.

Moments later, half the life perished. It was not an unnatural death. The souls liberated from their flesh congregated together and formed a silver river. It was not a River of Time, but a Soul River that passed through every part of the new divine world.

The life that did not perish grew. Those belonging to a species found each other and propagated, while those unique lifeforms acted on their instincts. Perhaps, with time, they would develop sapience, but most, if not all, would fall behind the times and disappear.

Still, that was for later. At the beginning of creation, these unique lifeforms reigned over all.

Back in the Nine Heavens Universe, Daoyi appeared once more. She was still in the same pose, arms spread out, as if she had never disappeared, and the black-and-white world was just a mirage. After a few minutes, Daoyi’s arms hung by her side, and she closed her eyes.

At this moment, Tianyi appeared in front of Daoyi. He did not release any aura and just stood next to her, as if guarding her. However, this was his inner universe, and it would take a miracle for someone to harm Daoyi—especially with the special attention he paid.

He said nothing and silently watched the figure in the blue dress embroidered with silver phoenixes and lilies.

From seeing the process of her creating the divine world, Tianyi had a good estimate of Daoyi’s current power level. She also created reincarnation in her world, but unlike the Six Paths of Samsara in Tianyi’s divine system, inner universe, and the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System, Daoyi’s Samsara was solely composed of the Law of Life and Death, with no other additional laws.

This Samsara bound life and death together, making it far more stable. If the size were equal, Tianyi’s Spacetime Divine World was lesser than Daoyi’s Life-and-Death Divine World. If Tianyi’s divine world was focused on size, then Daoyi’s was compressed.

Overall, Tianyi’s Spacetime Divine World was still much greater, especially after he incorporated countless divine-level laws, but Daoyi’s still had its own merits. If compared to when Tianyi only used the divine-level Law of Spacetime to create the Spacetime Divine World, Daoyi would have a greater advantage despite the smaller size.

Finally, Daoyi opened her eyes. Her sclera had returned to their original color. The only physical evidence of her change was her pupils—one remained black, while the other was white.

“How do you feel?” Tianyi asked.

“Powerful, like I can kill my former self with the wave of a hand,” Daoyi said. She sighed. “The difference between a divinity and a non-divinity is too immense. Had I known about the gulf, I might not have been able to persist in comprehending the Divine Law of Life and Death.”

Daoyi glanced at Tianyi from the corner of her eyes. “I can probably create a child from just your and my divine essence.”

Tianyi opened his mouth. He felt the way Daoyi said “divine essence” seemed especially off, but it could just be his overreaction. “Let’s put that aside for later. I recently succeeded in reconstructing my former body.”

“You have?”

He nodded. Tianyi hadn’t really focused on it. After hearing about his unique nature from Bao Ling and Confucius, he tried reconstructing his body with that information. It was as if he had finally found the missing link. Although he didn’t succeed on the first attempt, it was much easier than before. Previously, he was always missing a crucial piece, but now he had found it.

Still, Tianyi didn’t feel like using his blood avatar. If Mengfei had not been possessed by the Heavenly Dao, he would have likely gone to Daoyi to give her a grandchild, but now was not the time—or so he thought.
