Chapter 36 Successfully Recruiting Ah Yin, One Fate Quest Complete.

Rayne looked at Ah Yin, whose expression was changing constantly.

He also thought about how to attack this woman.

Just the plain old 'developing feelings of love over time'?

It doesn't seem to work, as Ah Yin will definitely be resistant towards such emotions after this incident.

In the first place, if he just acts like a selfless good man and help her without seeking anything in return, then he will just look like a despicable hypocrite with hidden intentions.

With Ah Yin's current state of mind, she most likely won't develop any sincere feelings towards him, if Rayne chose this method to court her.

As for saying that he felt pity for her and decided to help her? Then he uses this favor to get her? This is also somewhat out of question.

There is no way for Rayne to act in this manner. His pride won't allow him to deceive a woman with such cheap tricks.

So Rayne came to the conclusion that… It's better to be honest about his intention for Ah Yin.

Ah Yin is now desperately thinking of a way to get him to help her.

If Rayne helps her now and state his intention, she most likely would accept it. Not to mention his prestige as a former supreme god.

This will ofcourse only result in a forced relationship at first. But the advantage is that, if Rayne can be even a bit more sincere and provide her with what she desires, and with time… the relationship might turn out to be a genuine one.

But of course, this is only applicable if he was an adult at this moment.

Currently, Rayne is only six years physically. If he so much as express his desires in his current state, he'll be nothing but a creep. All the dignity as a former Supreme God will be gone.

So Rayne thought, it's better to just recruit Ah Yin to his side now. Feelings can be developed overtime and be taken further when he's old enough.

Thinking to this point, Rayne decided to give it a go.

"Blue Silver Empress… no, Ah Yin. How about you join me? And if you have enough merit, then I'll help you with all your problems?"

Ah Yin eyes opened wide in shock after hearing Rayne's words.

"…"

Maybe it's because she is in a tensed mind state, she began to come up with many possibilities for why Rayne would say such a thing. Some of these possibilities she thought of were quite exaggerated.

But she shook her head and threw away all the unnecessary thoughts.

"But, is someone like me, really be able to help you?" Ah Yin couldn't help but ask. She doesn't think she has any special abilities that could help someone like Rayne.

Rayne smiled at Ah Yin's question.

"You truly don't understand the advantages you have, despite possessing some knowledge about gods?"

"..?" Ah Yin had a confused look.

"How do you think Divine Beasts are different from human gods, despite both possessing God positions?"

"…Their race?" Ah Yin said hesitatingly.

"No. Human gods, most of the time, condense their God positions based on the principles they've comprehended, or their lifelong notable legacy, such as Angel God and Sea God."

"And the thing about this kind of God position is that, two of the same type of God position at the same level cannot exist at the same time in a Divine Realm." Rayne said.

Ah Yin didn't interrupt, even though she didn't understand why Rayne was saying this to her.

Rayne continued.

"Beast Gods or Divine Beasts are quite different from human or conceptual gods. Their God position is condensed by gathering the faith from their own race, and represents the peak of the said race. The divine beasts of the past era such as Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon King, Divine Ice Phoenix, Golden Behemoth God, Phoenix God, and even Nine Dragon Kings under Dragon God. They all formed their God positions in this manner."

As soon as Rayne said this, Ah Yin's eyes opened wide with shock and realization.

"My Lord, you're saying…"

Ah Yin was shocked and speechless. She never imagined Rayne would have such an ambition for her.

Rayne saw her shock and smiled.

"You get it now, don't you? Your blue silver grass race has the highest population in this planet, exceeding even humans by more than a million times. And you are the sole ruler of this race. All blue silver grass has absolute faith in you."

"In other words, you're guaranteed to become a God, as long as you reach level 99 or 600,000 years and above in soul beast cultivation. Of course, with the restriction of Divine Realm, soul beasts can't become a God in this era. But I'll do something about it." Rayne said, then he looked at Ah Yin, who looked to be in a daze.

Rayne remembered that, in the past when he was God of Infinity, he had once tried to help a Blue Silver Empress to become a God. But the said Blue Silver Empress was quite unlucky. She was actually hunted down by a Jade Moon Rabbit that had just become a divine beast.

Rayne didn't try to avenge her back then. The soul beasts mostly fall into two categories.

The strong and the weak!

The Predator and the prey!

Rayne himself belonged to the predator category. When he was Ouroboros, he had hunted down more than a thousand soul beasts with cultivation above 200,000-years for his cultivation improvement.

Back in that era, the strong were all over the place as the level of the planet was also very high, more than thousands of times compared to now.

Even his so-called help towards soul beasts1and humans other than his ethnic group, was nothing but the benevolence of the strong.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Rayne looked at Ah Yin.

"So? Have you decided what to do? Join me, or just mind your own business?"

Rayne asked, as he looked at her with calm and clear eyes.

"… My Lord, you said soul beasts can't become gods. Why is that?" Ah Yin suddenly asked.

"It's quite complicated. A brainless dragon put a seal on the entire soul beast race to prevent them from becoming gods, just to make up for his own mistakes. Anyway, don't think too much about it. Since I'm in this era now, I'll fix things, whether it is the soul ring and soul bones, or the unfair thunder tribulation." Rayne said in an irritated tone.

Ah Yin looked excited when she heard Rayne say that, he'll fix the problems that have haunted soul beasts for almost half a million years.

"Really, my Lord?"

"No rush. Let's take things one step at a time. I currently don't have the strength or resources to accomplish it. So let's start making some foundation for the future ambitions. Ah Yin, be my helper for this ambition." Rayne said as he slowly stretched out his right hand towards Ah Yin.

Ah Yin was dazed while looking at Rayne. The one thing that always struck Ah Yin as a deep regret was… not only did she get together with a human after transforming into a human, which is essentially a betrayal to her race.

An even greater betrayal came, when she sacrificed to Tang Hao, ignoring the entire blue silver grass race which depended on her.

Because of this, she always felt extremely guilty and ashamed towards soul beasts.

But now, she listened to the greatest God to have ever born from soul beast race, the Infinity Dragon God, actually saying that she can help in saving soul beast race, from the unfair persecution of modified planetary laws.

Ah Yin looked at white haired Rayne, who currently looked like a beautiful six-year-old child, and felt emotional.

She walked up to Rayne and knelt down to reach his height. Then, she gently held the delicate hand stretched out to her.

"My Lord, please allow me to contribute to the future prosperity of soul beasts."

Rayne smiled as he said, "Well, I'll be in your care in the future, Ah Yin."

"Yes, my lord!" Ah Yin smiled gently as she looked at Rayne's immature face.

There was an unknown emotion brewing in her heart. She knew that it was blasphemous of her to feel this way towards him. But to her, Rayne is her savior and the person who gave her another chance at life, and also give her the opportunity to make up for her past mistakes and betrayal towards her race.

She knew it was wrong to have this sort of emotion towards someone like Rayne. But she just wanted to care for him.

As Ah Yin was looking at Rayne in a daze, a blinding light spread through the spiritual consciousness space.

…

In the stone chamber above the waterfall.

Rayne was holding the earth bag that had blue silver empress seedling planted, in one hand.

"Now, I'll pass on a cultivation technique you can practice, specifically for blue silver grass soul beast. Practice this to reach 50,000-years cultivation level. Later, I'll give you a technique that will perfectly transform into human, instead of the flawed natural transformation that is passed on to soul beasts." Rayne said as he pushed a white light into the blue silver empress.

At the same time, he retrieved about a little more than two dozen of superior grade Mystic Water Pills from his treasure storage.

Even one of this pill is a life changing pill for anyone else.

He transformed the energy of these miraculous pills into medicinal energy and infused into blue silver empress seedling.

He also asked the consciousness of Ah Yin to cooperate with him, by using the cultivation technique he just taught her.

After five hours, the blue silver empress seedling had great changes. The obvious one being that, it has grown to be much bigger now, and it's cultivation level has greatly increased, almost reaching ten thousand years.

This rapid improvement is mostly due to the fact that, Ah Yin was originally a 100,000-year-old soul beast. She is simply restoring her strength, not cultivating it.

And there is also the fact that, one superior grade Mystic Water Pill has great amount of energy. Because, the superior grade version of Mystic Water Pill's main ingredient is a low level immortal herb called 'Sixteen Petal Life Lotus'.

Because of the power of immortal herb, Ah Yin, as a plant soul beast, can receive the greatest benefit from this pill.

Now with almost ten thousand years if cultivation, Ah Yin can be considered to be resurrected. The empty throne of Blue Silver Empress has been claimed by Ah Yin again.

Because only one Blue Silver Emperor/Empress can exist at a time, theoretically Tang San shouldn't be able to evolve into Blue silver empress anymore.

But, just to be safe, Rayne intends on extracting the Blue Silver Empress bloodline from him, after returning to Nuoding Academy.

After this process was over, the blue silver empress got out of the earth bag on its own, and started to shrink in size. Then she wrapped around Rayne's right wrist like a bracelet and settled in.

Maybe it's coincidence, but Rayne felt the blue silver empress rubbing against him from time to time.

Then, Rayne looked at the metal box containing the 100,000-year-old soul bone.

His eyes flashed, and the upper wall exploded as the metal box fell to the ground with a heavy impact.

Rayne retrieved both the soul bone and the metal box into his Gate of Ashburn. He could tell that the material of this box is a very special metal.

As soon as he put the soul bone into the treasure storage, a system notification rang in his mind.
