CH 124

Kurisjo returned to the Blood realm with Orvis’s corpse and, with great strength and skill, finally succeeded in ascending to the supreme throne of the Blood King.

After his ascension to the throne, Joey created an unparalleled history, which was recorded as the New Blood Era.

In the second year of the New Blood Era, the Blood King, Kurisjo, made a peace pact with the human emperor, King Wales. This pact ushered in a new future of peaceful coexistence between humans and Bloods.

In the fourth year of the New Blood Era, the Pope announced his abdication and passed the office to his beloved, Chief Cardinal Calmeron. With the accession of Calmeron as Pope, the position of Chief Cardinal was naturally left vacant.

In the previous four years, the candidate for the Cardinal position, Yaphisor, had already passed the test for the senior priesthood and was now serving as bishop of one of the churches.

Within these four years, Bai Lixin had slowly become a central figure in the church, and many women throughout the city had even fallen in love with him.

A man of great talent, great beauty, great power, and the ability to use the Bloods to his advantage. Their only regret was his sexuality!

The day after Calmeron became Pope was the enthronement ceremony for the new Chief Cardinal Yaphisor, and it was no less a spectacle than the Blood King’s enthronement.

King Wales of the Royal Family, the Blood King Joey, and even the old Pope, who had abdicated, attended the ceremony in person. The Bloods had only sent their elders on the day of the Pope’s enthronement but the Blood King was attending the new Chief Cardinal’s ceremony in person.

Time flew by, and two years later, Pope Calmeron announced his abdication and passed the papacy to Archbishop Yaphisor.

Pope Yaphisor’s greatest contribution during his reign was the improvement of the light spells.

He recreated a new kind of spell in addition to the original attack and healing light spells.

The spells used in the Alchemist’s League used the power of darkness, while the Church used the power of light. After years of research, Yaphisor had merged these two powers with perfection, forming a new kind of spell – the Purification line.

His new spell’s attributes still threatened the Bloods, but instead of killing them, it would suppress the urge to suck blood from within them and, with the power of the blended light and darkness, could provide energy to the Bloods.

Joey, the Blood King, was well-known for his aversion to blood, and it was thanks to the creation of this spell, with the assistance of his lover Wales, that he was able to replenish his energy without sucking blood.

With the emergence of the purification system, a harmonious coexistence between the human and blood races was truly guaranteed. Because it was a mix of two powers, it was available not only to the Church but to alchemists too.

In this way, with the four forces working together, the Bloods and humans had reached an unprecedented level of harmony.

In the luxurious palace, two figures were hazy and hidden in the mist-filled hot spring.

There was a rhythmic sway to the water, and hidden in the sound of the lapping water were a hoarse male voice breathing heavily and another pleasant male voice moaning.

After a long time, the pleasant male voice gave a sharp, loud gasp, and the dust settled.

The sound of the water ceased, and the air was finally filled with the sweet smell of lust and the fading gasps of pleasure.

Bai Lixin gritted his teeth and said, “I stumbled into a pit with this Calmeron fellow. I was supposed to help him for five years before I left, but he went ahead and made me pope.”

Curtisno gathered Bai Lixin into his arms, his fingertips caressing and cleaning Bai Lixin’s intimate places. Bai Lixin narrowed his pupils and said, with a wet, misty look in his eyes, “It’s time to leave.”

Curtisno withdrew his fingers reluctantly and asked, “When do you want to abdicate?”

“Let it be tomorrow.”

……………..

In the twenty-seventh year of the New Blood Era, Pope Yaphisor announced his abdication and passed the papacy to Cusi, the chief Cardinal.

The day after Pope Cusi ascended the throne, the former Pope Yaphisor disappeared into thin air, along with the mysterious Blood, Curtisno.

Since then, the world has missed a gifted priest and a mysterious Blood.

Before they disappeared, the two left Wales and Joey with a gift – a soul contract. This contract was adapted by Bai Lixin from the previous soul contract when his lover was a black dragon and had the same effect of sharing life.

Although it was left to them, Bai Lixin’s intention was not just for the two lovers, he hoped that all lovers across the races would eventually grow old together.

Even though the idea was grand, the reality is hard.

The blood race, though long-lived, is not immortal. Although Curtisno had slept for ten thousand years, he had still lived for ten thousand years after all, and after he awoke, his life slowly came to an end.

In the thirty-fifth year of the New Blood Era, Curtisno reluctantly closed his eyes in Bai Lixin’s arms and fell into a permanent eternal sleep.

Bai Lixin placed Curtisno in the crystal coffin where they first met, and added two more layers of unbreakable boundaries around the boundary before he too leaned into the coffin and left this world.

[Congratulations, Lord Host, for obtaining the Lord God Soul Fragment X1, which has been automatically placed in the Lord God’s Box. The mission completion rating is S, and you have received 10,000 points! The points can be freely distributed.]

[Congratulations, Lord Host, the soul attribute level has been raised to A-grade by 90%.]

[Congratulations, Lord Host, a new exchange item has been added to the point exchange window.]

In the endless darkness, without waiting for S419M’s words to fall, a box with a gentle blue light appeared out of thin air.

The soul slowly rose from the bottom of the box and flew impatiently to Bai Lixin’s side to entwine.

S419M [eeked] and said in surprise, [Lord God’s soul has even appeared on its own!]

Although he was talking, no one paid attention to him.

Dijia’s soul was much larger than the last time, and his soul was already as big as the upper half of a grown man’s body.

The soul circled Bai Lixin several times, kissing his forehead, cheeks, nose, earlobes, and lips with the utmost tenderness, silently speaking of lingering and loving love.

Everywhere it touched, Bai Lixin felt an unprecedented warm breath attached to it.

Bai Lixin wrapped his arms around the blue soul and stretched out his lips in response to his lover’s affection.

“Darling, next time…let me find you.” A low, magnetic voice softly evaded his mind, a voice that was indistinct and distant, like a dream. It seemed to be ringing in his ears, yet it seemed so far away.

At that moment, Bai Lixin’s eyes were moist.

Dijia’s soul had grown little by little as he watched the soul fragments fuse, from the smallest little piece to three, to four, to the seven pieces as of now.

With the endless passage of the years, Dijia’s soul had gradually fused by a large part.

Time moves forward for others, but for Bai Lixin, it moves both forward and backward at the same time.

His time was like a circle; every time he approached the end, he had to start again from the beginning.

The circle went on and on, endlessly.

Each time he transmigrated, his lover loses his memory of him, and he is the only one who still remembers the thousand years of memories between them.

Bai Lixin sometimes even wondered whether the soul fragments that Dijia had fused with still had any sense of his existence or not. Having left the world, did the fragments still have memories of it?

If one day he died and failed in his mission, would his lover be able to remember what had transpired between them?

Would there be a second person who would appear and reawaken Dijia in this way?

But just now, his lover, who already possessed seven soul fragments, finally spoke.

Bai Lixin had mixed feelings, and his heart was filled with unexplained grievances. Clutching the soul in his arms with all his might, Bai Lixin gritted his teeth and asked, “Tell me, you still remember everything that happened between us, right?”

A familiar doting chuckle rang through his mind, “I remember that you are Lu Xuefei, Su Qing, and Ansel Alexander. You are Bai Lu, you are Ning Xuan Bing, you are Pope Yaphisor, but more importantly, you are my precious – Bai Lixin. ”

Dijia spoke softly, his voice like a gurgling stream tinkling against his own heart.

As he spoke, one familiar name after another, Bai Lixin’s eyes grew even moister.

Dijia had not forgotten; he had always remembered. Though his soul could not speak, though his form could not coalesce, he had always remembered him.

“My dear, do you know that it is me who hurts the most?” Dijia’s voice once again echoed in his mind, “While you go to a new world to be with my soul fragment, I can only stay in this box to recover my strength. The only way to dull the depression caused by longing for you in the silence is to keep recalling the little moments we had with you. My soul fragment can hold you in his arms, but what can I do now? I can only barely touch you. I don’t even have the right to embrace you. ”

Bai Lixin suddenly broke into tears and pressed his palm against the azure soul, but his fingers reached inside and caressed, “How can you eat your own vinegar? Come on, let me hug you. ”

The two souls lingered for a few more moments before Dijia’s soul suddenly erupted in a burst of gentle light to envelop Bai Lixin.

“Baby, I’m going back into the box. I can’t stay out there for too long.” The blue-coloured soul gave Bai Lixin a few more light pecks before reluctantly flying back to the box.

And after the box disappeared, Bai Lixin heard the system beep, [Ding! Congratulations, Lord Host, for gaining Soul Power and raising your Soul Attribute to S-rank!]

Bai Lixin was slightly stunned, recalling the sudden blue glow from Dijia before he left.

It was not the first time that his lover had given him strength, and Dijia had always passed on energy to him before each world, causing his soul attributes to skyrocket.

With warmth in his heart, Bai Lixin said to S419M: [Go to the next world]

[No rest this time as well, Lord host?]

[I have plenty of energy now; why would I need to rest?] Bai Lixin snorted, [Go straight to the next world.]

[Yes, Lord host. Ding! World transmission begins.]

Because this chapter is super-super longer, I have split it into two, so 124(1) and 124(2) were originally one chapter. 

Thanks for reading!! Lots of love!
