Chapter 52 - Say it ain't so! (First Tribulation)

"Yet this would be at the cost of your existence, and the cost of the Origin God, otherwise known as you my successor, and you will have failed my wish to find my daughter…"

Silence prevailed around the soul world, as Yun Long was just gathering his thoughts.

He decided to reply, even if it was a fragment, since it was thanks to this entity in front of him that he could gain such a life, it was the least he could do.

"Father-in-Law… no, I am unworthy of your daughter after my transgressions, Creator, although I couldn't find your daughter, the body in which she reincarnated I do believe I have found, and I made sure she had a secure lifestyle, and I have high expectations that she would emerge in the near future…" said Yun Long as his voice faltered remembering the times he had with his little Lingxi.

"But still, that is a story I will not be able to witness, since I couldn't achieve your wish, I will achieve the objective the successor of the void is required to do, even at the cost of my existence…" at the end of his response he just sighed before returning to reality.

As he returned, he looked towards the distance where Shen Xi was, and just looked at her with an apologetic expression as he continued with his plan.

Creating memory fragments of himself so that he could explain to all his future companions and family that he had yet to meet, of their potential dangers, and how they can avoid it, Yun Long took a few minutes just to create them as they will deploy once he ceases to exist.

He then did something caused Shen Xi's eyes to widen, he bypassed his physical and directly 'ripped out' the void core in his middle dantian, causing his link to the soul and physical realm to break down, as his soul was phasing in and out of existence.

"Ugh... this really sucks" Yun Long laughed sadly as blood just flew out with his speech, after he had created the hole in his ċhėst, but he ignored the pain and just carried on with his task.

He then placed the void core within the nothingness beyond the Primal Chaos as the void core started to devour a colourless energy that Yun Long had witnessed before, now he knew the colourless energy was the calamity energy.

Yun Long wondered why he had that calamity energy on him previously, but he couldn't pay it any attention as the void core started to circulate and he started to pour all the origin energy he had even gained into the void core whilst devouring all the excess calamity energy that was trying to overload the void core.

Once he had finished his task, Yun Long then did as the memory fragment of the Creator said, which was to be devoured by his void core to stabilize its existence and it would here after become the anchor that keeps the void from ceasing to destroy the Primal Chaos Dimension, and then all of reality before its rebirth.

Then Yun Long experienced a thing that no existence can say they could withstand easily.

The pain that he was currently experiencing is one that one wouldn't wish upon their mortal enemy, worse than a trillion needles constantly tearing at his soul, as he experienced the slow devouring of his existence,

What made it worse was his physical form was first to be devoured, after 5 minutes he experienced another 10 minutes where his spirit was devoured, before the sensation of his soul being eaten alive leading to the wails comparable to the cries of the Evil Infant Wheel to be released by the remaining bit of his soul form.

Shen Xi who had already tried many times to summon Yun Long just watched this pitiful sight with tears in her eyes, she didn't understand why but for some odd reason her heart couldn't remain indifferent to the actions of this mortal boy.

Just from the screams and how his soul was being devoured she could see that even if she didn't know what was going on, he obviously made a choice, since he gave her an apologetic look earlier.

However, listening to those agonising screams made her realise that not even a god may opt to choose the path he did… to witness the destruction of his physical, spirit and soul was disturbing just from afar, to personally experience it is another.

"AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH"

A final soul piercing cry rang out of Yun Long as he ceased to be, Shen Xi just looked towards the void core with soulless eyes, yet she watched the odd phenomenon for a little longer, just as her last hope, hoping what she saw did not happen...

Within a void, Yun Long awoke to a table and a certain Creator.

"Well boy, it seems that you are truly worthy to be this old man's successor huh…"

Yun Long had an urge to cry, in his head he was hoping that all this nonsense earlier wasn't just a trial that this old fart set to confirm his choice of successor.

'Say it ain't so!'

"Hehe… indeed my good Son-in-Law is a smart one, that is why I left that cryptic message about abusing your powers and planted the subconscious feelings which allowed you to understand what must be done to repair the damage from your actions, this daddy already knew you would abuse it and so I decided not to mention the consequences' whilst he boasted he paused and sounded serious.

"However... I still didn't expect you to go through all that torture, you know… you could have not been devoured at any point and opted to run away… and yet you chose to do so… anyways you will be returning soon… to a nice surprise indeed…" the creator paused.

Then he decided to add one last message "Look after my daughters' boy… this is a true farewell till your wedding with my daughter boy… other than those fragments I left…"

Yun Long attempted to fly kick this old fart only to be kicked out of reality himself

--------

'Is this… impossible… although he did say his cultivation was different'

Shen Xi decided to take the Vantablack cocoon back to the Land of Samsara after she noticed the crimson crack had stabilised and returned to a distance of around seven feet.
