Right in front of everyone's eyes, a spiritual form of a beautiful figure of a young woman with flowing golden hair has suddenly appeared which seemed to be sleeping in a peaceful manner while her arms were wrapped around in the golden book in a protected embrace.
Seeing how Snow managed to at least pull the sleeping Xiaowen soul that has been residing in the Book of Origin has inwardly sigh, after all, he couldn't really pull her entirely out from it since it wasn't allowed or else the supposed other pit ally will cause him trouble.
If one can describe Xiaowen, the moment that she was born in the world, she has been loved by the unconscious world rule that only has certain instincts in the past and it was because it loves Xiaowen soul that was pure while brimming with the power of light.
However, in the end, no one can entirely understand about God's nature and character because receiving a certain favor from them can be too much for a person to have, depending on a person having a special powerful being favor and blessing can lead to being fortunate or unfortunate in their life.
And to Xiaowen, one can say that she was more unfortunate because of the world rule has adored her far too much that the moment of answering her desperate prayer for stopping the bloody war a thousand years ago that the world rule has wanted her to accompany it during the process of its birth.
Which was to kill her physical body and let her soul brimming with light power sleep with it.
Thus a thousand years of Xiaowen accompanying the world rule consciousness that was being born inside the Book of Origin, which was what presides the regulation, management and supervision meant for the races living in its world.
One could say that the Book of Origin is the world rule certain special object of power that controls the world, with the added fact of Xiaowen who has a pure soul that contains the potential of using a powerful and strong elemental light power.
And for Zou Yi that has been born with the power of darkness, it has been his role and responsibility to guard, protect and watch over until everything is over, however, if the world rule favors the power of light then one can think about how it deemed about the person who has a soul with a great affinity of darkness.
At least, Zou Yi's soul was a pure affinity and not because of having a vile, wicked and evil soul, because, in the end, everyone who has an inclination to darkness doesn't mean that they are all evil people.
Even the world rule has understood that if there is light then there is also darkness, it is just that Zou Yi isn't favored by the world will, thus it leads Zou Yi to have no protection at all and have died in the original future.
Although Zou Yi was special on his own way, the world rule consciousness can just wait for another soul similar to Zou Yi to appear and be born with the power of darkness, just like Shao Shu who has a certain affinity to light power, in which would have become the main person if Xiaowen was destroyed, thus the substitute on her appraisal information.
Really, any form of God or a being with unimaginable power isn't something that a certain mortal and people can guess about what it would do and ask next, unable to explain and determine the favor and blessing that they will give to a person.
It can be a cold, heartless and ruthless approach, remaining ignorant and clueless that they might be giving great misery to a person that they greatly.
Even in the stories of a protagonist caused some of them to suffer more miserable at first or facing great uncertainty? Or having traumatic experience or seeing the death of their love ones? Then everything turned alright in the end after suffering and hardship?
Although it was a story, Snow believes that it is possible that all of it is true too, since right now isn't he being in a similar situation about a story? However, the thoughts flashing on his mind has stop when the male protagonist has finally shown a reaction.
"Xiaowen…so you have been there the entire time?"
Hearing the trembling voice of Qui Feng which contains numerous complicated emotions it carries has cause Snow to glance over toward him, while at the entire time has been leaning on his lover warm chest, showing the appearance of having his power and strength weakening for what he has just done.
And Qui Feng has fallen down on his knees, with a despairing, sorrowful expression on his face while staring with wide pained eyes at the sleeping soul form of Xiaowen, however, he also has expression of delight, happiness, and joy about the chance of his lover coming back alive once more.
The entire time, Snow just bask at the warm embrace of the worried Qing Ye while his heart remains calm and cold at the entire scene he is witnessing, although outwardly he has a saddened expression on his face.
"...My friend… do you believe me now?"
Qui Feng was in a dazed for a seconds before turning his attention at the currently weak Zou Yi that has a tired pale face, seemingly has used more of his power in order to show the evidence that he was lying toward him, which has caused Qui Feng to feel guilt and remorse as the memories of what he did flash on his mind.
"Zou Yi… I…"
Unable to form any words to come out from his mouth, Qui Feng doesn't know what to say since everything he thought he knew was completely wrong, that there is something more about what happened in the past, so many misunderstanding the everything becomes confusing and chaotic.
Even though his friend has killed Xiaowen in a certain way… but if that was the reason why he has done it then how can Qui Feng can continue blaming him?
Oh, he is still angry and furious, however, the overwhelming hatred he felt has easily dimmed down, in the first place, he perfectly knew Xiaowen's stubbornness and personality the most.
If she has asked for Zou Yi, her twin older brother, to kill herself then even if Zou Yi has refused in the past, she would have found another way to die.
Maybe it is cruel of her to ask Zou Yi to do it, but she might have been wishing to die by the hand of her family.
However, before Qui Feng can think more deeply, a grim tired voice full of helplessness reaches his ears causing him to snap his attention back while his face paled in the realization of what will happen right now because of what he did.
"...it's too early to be happy… Yi Tingfeng, because of what you have done… there is a high chance that Xiaowen will completely disappear into this world…"
Snow who was pitifully leaning on his lover arms, showed a rather bitter and tired expression on his face as he stares at the far great distance in a grim manner before letting out a deep sigh of sadness that cause Qing Ye to give a comforting pat on his back while whispering words of love, about how he will never allow it to happen, that he has him by his side so there is no need to worry and many more touching words.
Inside Snow couldn't help but roll his eyes since really, can his lover stop for a bit since he is super busy pitting the male protagonist and guilt-tripping him to stand by his side.
And cue to what Snow has just spoken, the old man showed a sullen expression before taking out a familiar item and pressing it hard and all along there is a wild glim of craziness on his eyes as he stares deeply at the book of Origin in a few distances away from him.
"My Lord, don't blame me for betraying you because after meeting that woman, you have greatly changed. You have betrayed the promise you have spoken to us, our dream of domination and the revenge to our fallen people in that bloody war from the human race, you have surrendered all of it just because of that woman's word of compassion and naive ideas."
Fan Zhiqiang suddenly shouted in a crazed manner because the person before him is where they have given their reverence and devotion, their lord who has promised to lead their race to become the dominant one among the human race, the person who has saved them from being hunted down just because they have been born different.
The person who has avenge their brother's and sister's death and the person who promises to give them a place to call home, however, in the end, he changes his mind.
"My lord! You have turned your back on us! So, if you can't do it anymore then I can only do it in your stead. The promise for our dream and our revenge, I will not fail it!"
He won't allow it, all the sacrifices they have made in the past will be thrown and trample with just like that, he couldn't accept the notion of living peacefully with the human race, a thousand years isn't enough to forget and forgive the despair and hopelessness that all of them experienced in their hands.
Too many of their families died, too many people was killed and tortured because the human cannot accept their race and too many people's blood has been spilled to forget the resentment of their fallen comrades.
Forgive and forget it? How can he easily do that? All of them were just living their life peacefully but the human was the one who started the bloody war a thousand years ago!
And Qui Feng who is hearing the despairing and obsessed crazy shouts of his right-hand man can only tightly close his eyes as everything becomes complicated and difficult.
He still remembers the first time he met Fan Zhiqiang in the past, a small young boy wearing tattered clothes along with a chain on his wrist and ankle while completely locked up in a dungeon, which ironically belongs to his own home as his parent lock him up in the darkness.
And now that pitiful small young boy has turned into the currently present person before him, which has grown old at the passage of time, that forever unable to forget the past tragedies of suffering, refusing to accept the great change of the present time.
Right or wrong, Qui Feng doesn't know, everyone has their own mistakes and blunders in life while believing certain belief and faith that is different from other people, he won't deny that he has made numerous mistakes on his life but in the end, he is just a selfish person that has belief and want so...
"Little Zhi… sorry, but I will always choose to stand by Xiaowen side…"
He just loves her so much that he doesn't mind bending down his proud back, throwing away his dignity and letting go of his ambition so that he can always see the smile on her face and now that she was just within his reach, then he doesn't care if he is being hypocrite, liar and a traitor to someone eyes.
"I will remove and eradicate anyone that wants to hurt and kill my love. I will protect her even at the exchange of my life." Just to keep her safe, alive and happy, he can do anything.
With a complicated smile on his face full of contempt on himself, Qui Feng began to confront Fan Zhiqiang with a decisive expression, crimson bloody eyes turning darker and dangerous as he prepares himself from all of the people that will come to either take the Book of Origin for their own use and those who wish to destroy it.
Seeing that Qui Feng has changed his mind and began confronting the people that have managed to arrive halfway to the Book of Origin, Snow isn't really surprised since he knew that Qui Feng's greatest weakness will always be about Xiaowen.
Besides, Snow really needs Qui Feng to do all the work, at least until he couldn't do it anymore, because from the information he got from the appraisal skill, the Book of Origin will become complete after in a week, and during this time, Snow just needs to make sure that it is well protected and safe, he will let Qui Feng deal with the people that are still coming for as long as he can.
Letting out a sigh, Snow has created another large throne chair, which Qing Ye has instantly went to take a sit upon it while carrying the person on his arms and letting him sat upon his lap.
"Baby, the ice chair is cold and hard so its better sit in my lap alright?"
"..."
