Chapter 1093: Companion

“You’re wrong.” Ulpian smiled. “When he was engulfing my previous self, he had yet to completely take control over the universe I was in, and I don’t come from Miracle World. I’m an outsider. Or at the very least, at the moment when I was still an outsider before entering Miracle World, the thought I had of wanting to win against him wasn’t affected by him.

“And right now, this thought that I have still remains unchanged. This obsession represents the part of my will that wasn’t affected.

“This isn’t all. It isn’t just me. The process in which Divine level experts head to other worlds to clear trials is clearly not under his influence either,” Ulpian said. “Each attempt to clear the Nine-Tiered Heavens’ trial is directed toward other worlds that aren’t within his control. Those worlds are clearly not under his influence, and those are the moments when we’re truly free.

“The Nine-Tiered Heavens is what allowed him to endless;y expand his territories and create Rings of Time to repeatedly seal up his opponents’ systems. However, there is a flaw to it as well.”

“Despite this…” Fang Xingjian said with a frown, “That is only possible if he didn’t really notice it. However, once we make a move, we’ll probably be discovered.”

“There’s why we need to make preparations,” Ulpian said as he stared at Fang Xingjian. “We’ll clear the Nine-Tiered Heavens’ trial together, heading to a parallel world. There, we’ll make the necessary plans and preparations, and then instantly put them into action upon returning. We won’t give him any chance to react.”

Fang Xingjian thought, ‘This so-called instant probably needs to be calculated by the Planck time unit, being around 10^-43 seconds.’

‘You’re right,’ Ulpian’s voice rang out in Fang Xingjian’s mind. ‘Let’s do this together, Fang Xingjian. Do you really wish to be under his control in your entire life?’

Saying that, Ulpian smiled and put out his hand toward Fang Xingjian. Although the future was ambiguous and the difference in strength was vast, there were no signs of nervousness and horror in his smile. There was only endless confidence.

Fang Xingjian did not say anything.

‘Maybe I’ve already been under their control from the moment I was born.’

At the thought that he was left with slightly over half a year of his five years lifespan, Fang Xingjian eventually nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll take this gamble together with you and let this world completely break out from the demonic gods’ control.”

In Fang Xingjian’s opinion, they were like ants discussing how to kill a whale. However, he could also see that both he and Ulpian were very serious about this.

‘In comparison to Ulpian’s obsession about justice and freedom, I… just want to live on,’ Fang Xingjian thought. ‘What an inferior and insignificant intent, yet it is also a common intent shared by all living creatures in the world…’

At this moment, the Nine Lives Helix seemed to enter even deeper in Miracle World’s group consciousness. Fang Xingjian’s understanding of the yearning of all the lives in Miracle World rose up to a higher level as well.

Since the two of them had come to an agreement, it also meant that the two strongest influences in Miracle World had secretly joined forces.

However, it was impossible for either of them to announce this news. After all, the lower-tiered battle prowess was meaningless to them. Announcing this news would only create chaos and might even foolishly bring forward the start of the war.

After ascertaining their cooperative relationship, the duo’s plan was to bring in other companions.

Right now, in Miracle World, there were only a few people who could be of help to Fang Xingjian and Ulpian. The Crown Princess was clearly one of them.

However, it was clear that it would not be easy to persuade her to join Fang Xingjian and Ulpian in dealing with the supreme existences of the multivariate universe.

…

In the palace, the Crown Princess lay down on a reclined chair in the garden. Propping her chin with one hand, she looked at the young female android Jiuqian who was in the garden.

Seeing Jiuqian curiously assess the flowers, butterflies, and many other bugs, a hint of disdain flashed on the Crown Princess’ face, and she turned away.

The Crown Princess had a thin layer of sheer cloth draped around her body, and her smooth and fair thighs could be seen indistinctly. As she turned, her well-rounded bosom seemed to shake like they were going to break out from the restraints of the sheer cloth at any moment.

She could not help but recall the power of Fang Xingjian’s sword attack from the other time.

‘Sattva Sword Technique…’

Thinking of that unbelievably majestic power, layers of densely-packed goosebumps seemed to break out on her body. Her entire face once again revealed a slight blush.

As a cultivator who had been pressurized since young and as a woman who had always been working hard to go up against societal norms while facing endless unjust, discrimination, and even contempt, her greatest craving was power. Moreover, the thing she admired the most had always been power.

‘Morals, influence, reputation, and backgrounds… All of these are meaningless. In this world, only power is the ultimate index into deciding everything.’

It was like how some people liked to eat dessert, some people enjoyed adventures, and other people liked exercise. The Crown Princess liked power.

Each time her strength increased and each time her martial arts improved, her cells would feel a tremble coming from the bottom of her heart. It was an extremely strong feeling of jubilation.

This was also the reason why she had always been working hard to cultivate martial arts, and her strength had improved at a tremendous rate.

Then when Fang Xingjian performed the Sattva Sword Technique which completely surpassed her strength, it made her incapable of putting up any hints of resistance. When she was completely subdued by this irresistible power, she experienced an unprecedented feeling due to her admiration toward his power.

This feeling of completely subjugation, to be filled up by the power that she respected the most, was a brand new experience for the Crown Princess.

Just as her face was turning increasingly red and layers of fine sweat droplets appeared on her body, Fang Xingjian suddenly appeared before her.

Like a thief caught by the police, the Crown Princess sat up a little nervously and said, “What’s the matter? Why have you come?”

Fang Xingjian threw her a strange glance. At the Crown Princess’ level, unless she was willing, it was impossible for her to blush or sweat.

As expected, with Fang Xingjian’s arrival, the abnormality on the Crown Princess instantly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, she once again turned into an ice-cold beauty, wearing a cool expression. “Speak up if there’s something you want to say. Otherwise, scram.”

“The trials for each Divine level get increasingly difficult. Even though we cleared this dangerous trial smoothly, the next attempt to strive for tier eight of the Divine level will clearly only become even more difficult. Therefore, I’ve found people from the Church to join in the attempt to strive for tier eight of the Divine level together,” Fang Xingjian said. “Do you want to participate?”

“Oh, alright,” the Crown Princess replied a little distractedly.

Fang Xingjian was stunned for a moment as if he had not expected the Crown Princess to agree so easily. He nodded and said, “Alright, we’ll probably set off in half a month at most. You should go ahead with your preparations as well.”

At the next moment, Fang Xingjian made a turn and then disappeared into void space.

Ulpian asked puzzledly, “You lied to her?”

“Anyway, we just need to head to the parallel world together, and she’d be left with no chance to back out,” Fang Xingjian said. “If she really doesn’t agree to it, then we can just join forces to kill her.”

Ulpian narrowed his eyes and said, “But is the Crown Princess’ strength really alright? The changes that occurred to her body earlier are a little strange. It’s as if the changes to her mood led to biological changes. If she can’t even control her own emotions, then it will affect the plan too much. We need to be accurate in the timing right down to the Planck time unit.”

“There’s no problem,” Fang Xingjian said. “I can train her. Although her degree of compliance isn’t high, she can meet the requirements as long as she trains repeatedly.”
