Chapter 254 - Gaia and Alaya (2)

"I am the Origin Entity of Nature, True Deity of the Earth… Gaia…"

"Greetings, I am the Origin Entity of Order, Origin Entity of Souls and the True Deity of Human Will… Alaya"

Yun Long was conflicted inside, on one side he was slightly irritated that this Alaya had managed to uncover his deepest secret as soon as she met him, but he was inwardly excited since he could ȧssume from their words and their identities that they were the entities in the Fate universe, would that not mean that the Fate universe actually existed out there?

"Indeed… the universe you know as the Fate Omniverse does exist… however we have long ascended from the Fate Omniverse, we now reside within the Hub of the Nirvana-Verse, otherwise known as the 'End of Nirvana', to ȧssist the Primordial Embodiment of the Void in his defence against the Primordial Embodiment of Calamity" Alaya responded to his thoughts once more, Yun Long now understood how annoying his previous mind reading self must have been.

"I appreciate the curt answers… but could you stop reading my mind… and also do not ever look into my mind again" Yun Long replied to her with a cold voice, he did not want her to push his boundaries and expect him to just obediently accept it.

Alaya's eyes started to rotate once she heard Yun Long's words, as she then looked at Gaia with an inquisitive gaze, causing Gaia to sigh out loud as she just went over to Yun Long and held up his hands.

Feeling her dainty, graceful, and seemingly boneless fingers hold up his palm, Yun Long felt an odd feeling as he looked into her apologetic eyes.

"Forgive me…" Gaia wanted to apologise to Yun Long, but then she then tilted her head as she realised that she did not know his name, Yun Long understood her so he softly replied "Yunlong…"

Yun Long decided to leave the name Yun Long behind in the Primal Chaos, he did not know what to expect in this new chapter of life, so he decided to use his true name Yunlong, however he no longer wished to bear the surname Ling which he had inherited from his father, so he decided to use his mother's maiden name "Anantha" from henceforth.

(A/N: So, Yun Long will now be addressed as Yunlong, his full name would be Anantha Yun Yunlong)

"Yunlong… what a beautiful name… ah, like I was saying, please forgive me… Alaya-chan only invaded your privacy on my request… forgive my wilful and selfish actions… but you are the only person who has direct access to any of the secrets the Primordial Embodiment of the Void possesses… and since his protection did not repel Alaya's soul power, he clearly was willing to allow us to see his secrets… albeit through your eyes…" Gaia explained her reasoning as she gazed into Yunlong's eyes with the legendary puppy eyes that caused Yunlong to avert his eyes from the sudden attack.

'Yuehai, Est… do you feel these two are trustworthy?' Yunlong asked in his mind since even the versions he read about in the Fate Universe would not match this lovable little loli in front of him.

Est spoke up in his mind, she confidently stated 'I can feel the purity within her… unless she is able to manipulate the truth from my eyes… you should be able to trust her… especially if she connected to Father…'

Feeling that her words had merit, Yunlong then looked back into the puppy eyes of Gaia as he just said to her lightly "I will forgive you this one time…"

"Waaa… you really are a good person Yunlong!" Gaia said with a joyful voice, she then surprised Yunlong by suddenly bringing him into her embrace, though to her short stature in comparison to him she just hugged his body gently, that was until he managed to snap out of his stunned state.

"Why did you need to see all my memories though? Do not think that a hug will simply make me forget that Alaya knows the secrets I do wish to share…" Yunlong managed to resist her puppy eyes, before asking her a serious question.

"Ah… Alaya takes everything directly… it was my fault since I did not classify what I wished for her to see… but I can promise on our Origin Source that she will not divulge the information to others no matter the circumstances!" Gaia said with a serious voice as she brought Yunlong's hands together, gazing into his eyes with her clear, caring eyes that seemed as if they were smiling gently at him.

"Tch…"

Alaya came over to his side, which caused Yunlong to look down as he matched her gaze, before she started to speak in her robotic like voice once more.

"Your memories have been tampered by some… thing… that even I am unable to comprehend… it would be the memories that you forgot during your time after the period of your life classified as 'High School'… that may be the reason why you feel an incomprehensible connection to this seal… or it may simply be related to the occurrence where one meets their Father for the first time… since you classify him as a Father-figure… coming into contact with a part of his true body may have released those feelings in you…" Alaya surmised as she gazed into Yunlong's eyes.

"Haiii… you are going to be a real handful in the future… aren't you…" Yunlong muttered as he just pat her head in response, he could tell she was trying to ȧssist him, but revealing everything how it is to him just felt slightly… irritating, but he actually preferred it since he would rather hear the ugly truth over a beautiful lie…

Gaia had been silently watching the two as Yunlong returned to viewing the Golden-White seal, so she went over and stood before Yunlong, looking up, she asked him with hopeful eyes "Yunlong… is it alright if I can view the memories that Alaya has acquired? My initial reason was so that I can make sense of some of the knowledge I simply lack… but if you do not wish for me to see them then I will never request it again…" Gaia asked as she held his hands together once more, but her gaze was serious this time, not using the legendary 'puppy' eyes, something Yunlong interpreted as, her attempt of being sincere.

He looked into her eyes and saw the hope… and there was only hope, Yunlong couldn't find anything else in those light green eyes that threw him off, so he asked her bluntly "Why do you think you are worthy enough to view those memories… even though it is my weakness that allowed Alaya to witness them… but something I did not even share to my wives… my lovers… could you really convince me that I should share them with you when I have yet to share it with them?"

Even though the question was blunt and quite harsh in the manner it was asked, but Yunlong only had genuine intrigue residing in his starry eyes since he wanted to know if she had that capability, the capability to convince him.

A few minutes passed, and Gaia finally spoke up after having just staring at Yunlong who was not planning on losing that staring contest any time soon.

"I have no reason… I have only just met you… there is no logical reason to why you would show me your memories… I could try and convince you that I can help you shoulder the burdens that you even kept hidden from your beloved lovers… but saying one thing and doing is another… I could try and convince you that it is for the better of the Nirvana-Verse… but I could manage without your memories… so I do not know how to convince you Yunlong… I only have my 'hope'…" Gaia sincerely smiled as she answered Yunlong.

'Hubby… Gaia…' Yuehai muttered in his mind as Yunlong said out loud what all of them was thinking.

"Gaia... is really an amazing person…" Yunlong was only saying aloud what the trio were thinking, but his words caused her eyes to widen in excitement, she interpreted it as him accepted to she started to hug Yunlong once more.

"Stop… you cannot keep molesting this Young Master… even though I am extremely handsome, you cannot treat me as a plushie…" Yunlong said as he escaped her vice-like grip, 'What is with this woman's strength...' he could not help but think as he bȧrėly managed to free himself.

"Mou… it is not like that! Long-chan is just too cute and lovable, so I have to look after you!" Gaia said with a lovable pout as she crossed her arms.

"Long-chan…" Yunlong muttered in his mind, he almost fell to his knees from her nickname… surely, he couldn't let that run…

"I will allow you to see my memories on one condition… I wish to know both your and Alaya's history… only then will I be willing to share my history with you…" Yunlong declared to the duo, Alaya's eyes shone in a profound light, whilst Gaia just hugged Yunlong once more, ignoring what he said previously, which caused him to sigh as he resigned himself to becoming her cuddly bear…
