Chapter 143 - Pleasant Illusion

"You are the long-forgotten trio of the original four Primordial Divine Beasts…"

If it was just going off the information he could perceive from the green and black eyes beasts, Yun Long would not have a clue, but he had no idea of another beast that had vermillion eyes, let alone the immense amount of Life aura it had just from its eyes.

He ȧssumed that the Vermillion Bird in this universe worked the same as the one as the four symbols back on Earth, and has an ability similar to the Phoenix which allowed it to go through the flames of rebirth, since that would be the only explanation for having such an enormous amount of life aura.

"The thing this God hates is smart ants!" the black eyes shouted in rage.

"Settle down now…" the green eyes said tenderly, but it got the 'Slaughter God' to switch tunes real fast.

Seeing the 'Slaughter God' obediently listen to the nature Divine Beast made him side step his way to the Vermillion Bird's side this time…

But she was not having any of it "Hmm… whilst you seem to have guessed correctly about our identity, why have you not answered the question, child?"

"Huh… I said it just now did I not? I just refined hundreds of Divine Beast bloodlines since I am going to receive the Primordial Azure Dragon God's legacy in the future, I wanted to see if I evolve a beast bloodline that would truly put me at the peak of the food chain"

"Wha… why did I say that… huh?"

Yun Long wanted to know what was going on but this time even the Vermillion and Green pair of eyes acted differently to what he just stated.

"Heh… ROOOAAAARRRRR… you are that damn LIZARD'S SUCCESSOR?!"

"Hmm… yeah, since he lost his daughter and has long died, he planned on granting me his legacy so that I could find his long-sealed daughter and allow her to live a normal life..."

"Daughter?" x2

"Long… Dead? That damn… b*stard… how dare he die… before I SLAUGHTER HIM!!!"

"How are you doing that… why am I telling you all my secrets…"

Yun Long then looked curiously at the green-eyed beast since he hoped that she would answer, but to his surprise, she was actually the culprit!

"It is extremely difficult to lie in front of me my child, the purer your heart, the more you likely you will fall under my innate ability, since my element of water represents purity and nature, you who has a pure heart will not find yourself telling a lie within my presence"

'Really it is the gentle and quiet ones you have to look out for…'

"So, just to make my ȧssumptions clear, you are the Primordial Black Tortoise and Grrrrr… over there is the Primordial White Tiger?"

"Grrr… your mother here is the Primordial White Tiger, The Beast God of Slaughter…"

The Primordial White Tiger was going to carry on talking but she had unknowingly pushed Yun Long's reverse scale.

His void suppression unconsciously leaked from his body as he brought out the full capabilities of the Gate of Babylon, his beast eyes stared right into the Primordial White Tiger's, as he spoke with no emotion.

"I do not care if you are a god, insult my mother one more time and I will show you true slaughter"

Crack!

Let alone the fact that the aura these treasures were putting out made it an actual contest!

Thinking of this, the Primordial White Tiger's eyes started to contract as it was ready to attack, before the Primordial Black Tortoise just sent her soul aura to engulf Yun Long.

Yun Long who had lost himself in a temporary rage suddenly felt dizzy as he closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a young woman in front of him.

Though to a cultivator she may seem slightly above average, to Yun Long this woman was the most beautiful person he had ever came across.

"Mo…ther…"

"Oh? Little Yunlong! You finally came to see your old mother huh?"

Hearing the same joke his mother would always say, he broke down in tears as he replied with a smile on his face as he usually did in the past "Hehe… mother is the most beautiful… of course I came to see you…"

Going over to her, he just gave her a hug as his tears kept on falling on her jumper…

"Forgive me for not seeing you all this time mother… I hope you forgive me…"

Yunlong's mother just smiled, as he then fell into a deep sleep within her embrace.

On the outside, Yun Long was sleeping peacefully on the floor as tears had flooded his otherwise pristine face.

To stop Yun Long from destroying the place, the Primordial Black Tortoise had engulfed him with her soul aura, as she put him under a friendly illusion, one that allowed him to remove a weight on his heart that had yet to be removed.

"He is quite the pitiful child… for a human to have such attachments will only lead him to his downfall in the future…" The Primordial Black Tortoise sighed when she thought about the ways of humanity.

The Primordial White Tiger asked sceptically "What did you see? For you to cause a warrior like this to cry like a baby is quite…"

But she stopped talking when she saw the gentle green eyes stare at her once more.

"What do you make of what he said?" Primordial Black Tortoise questioned the other two.

"Hmph… our current sense of time is warped… so my guess is that he must have died of old age… for him to be killed with the Dragon God Clan backing him is preposterous…" the Primordial White Tiger said with a faint anger in her voice.

"We could just read the memories of this boy" the Primordial Vermillion Bird proposed, since it would make it slightly easier.

"No… this boy… he is the one we have been looking for…" the Primordial Black Tortoise said stunning the pair.

"You think this human is worthy…" the Primordial White Tiger said in disdain.

"Yes… did you feel the pressure he just released now…" the Primordial Black Tortoise interrupted her nonsense as her voice started becoming more serious.

"Grrr… anybody can release pressure when they have treasures…" the Primordial White Tiger grumbled, unsatisfied that she could not test the ability of said treasures.

The Primordial Vermillion Bird just sighed at her sister's inability to sense something other than slaughter…

"Are you talking about just as soon as his big sister offended him?" the Primordial Vermillion Bird questioned with intrigue.

"Mn… even those it was weak… the feeling it gave me was… one of reverence… similar to how mortals view us…" the Primordial Black Tortoise said whilst she was slightly impressed.

"Grr… he is just a human… are you sure you have lost your mind?" the Primordial White Tiger said since she did not want it to be true that she inferior to any being.

Before the Primordial Black Tortoise could respond, Yun Long had come out from his stupor. Sitting up, he felt something warm on his face, until he realised what the substance was.

"Tears?"

He then looked at the Primordial White Tiger and remembered what happened, well all until he had gotten knocked out and met his mother.

Thinking of this he just questioned the Primordial Black Tortoise "What just happened? What did you do to me?"

"I placed you under an illusion, I did not wish for this place to be destroyed as it will ruin everything, we have been trying to achieve here… even if we have to dishonourably cling onto life to do so…"

Hearing her, Yun Long knew that it was not real, but he just produced an honest smile.

"Thank you… even if you may not have meant to do so… I would like to thank you… I never thought I would see her again in this life…" thinking of this he just kept replaying his mothers' words in his head, trying to keep the feeling of her voice in his head forever…

~Little Yunlong~

"If you truly want to thank me, I would like to request you to do something for me" the Black Tortoise said gently.

"Hmm? If I can do it, I see no problem in doing so… so long as it does not involve something that would affect my conscience" Yun Long responded with a smile as he kept replaying his mother's voice in his head.

"Mn… I would never ask you to do such a thing… but I would like to know before I tell you our wish… are you truly human?" the Primordial Black Tortoise asked gently as she looked at his peaceful smile.

Hearing her Yun Long raised his vigilance… even though he was technically human, he was also technically reborn as a Pseudo-Entity, and no one had so far had even the faintest idea that he was not human…

Wondering where he had exposed himself, the Primordial Black Tortoise just carried on speaking.

"When you had been enraged earlier… your innate suppression leaked out… even though it was weak, it does not take a genius to tell that, whatever you are… you are clearly a superior being in comparison to a Primordial Divine Beast"
