Chapter 13 Making amends

"Even the Sage Emperor cannot get into our tiny world from the Draconic Ruins Realm!" Because it is sealed, and only those who come from our world can return here. But if you visited that world, even if you were a loser there, all you have to do is return here and you will become God here, you can kill everyone like ants.

And no one can do anything to you. For this reason, my grandmother, and now my mother, went into the great world to protect the entrance from such people. But at the same time, they had to join the most powerful Demonic Beast Sect, the Demon God Sect. This Sect has sworn allegiance to the Ancient Demonic Holy Land which is a cult of the Sage Emperor's faith, honoring him as a God.

When I was a week old, for a reason unknown to me, my mother left for the big world of the Draconic Ruins Realm. And from then on I never saw her again. When I turned 2 years old, I had a dream to become strong and help my mother and grandmother. But then I learned that I was disabled, the limit of development of which would be the Sphere of Heavenly Fate for the rest of my life, no matter how hard I tried. And even my grandmother and mother could not solve this problem.

But I did not give up; at the age of 4, by pure chance, in the family treasury, I came across the treasure of the Soul. Which revealed to me Wisdom and the future. With the help of which I learned about Nie Li, and I didn't see everything, only some places. But by logical deduction, I came to the conclusion that this Nie Li would most likely cause the death of my family members by destroying the Demon God Sect. And this gave me the impetus, the motivation to find a way to become stronger! Our family has a library, no one knows how many books there are, but only the Soul can get there.

And time passes 10 times faster there; after spending 10 years in the library, the body will only feel it for a year outside of it. From the age of 4 to 12, I spent more than 7 years in the library, which means that I read books in the library for 70 years! During these 70 years, I learned 38 languages ​​and read almost 25,000 books until I finally found a way out of my predicament! The solution was the Ancient Technique of the Mermaid people, an underwater race with a fish tail and a human body.

My salvation was the Technique of Absorption and Assimilation of Race, but it has 2 drawbacks; any living creature can use this technique only once in its life. And no matter what Development Rank you had before using the technique, after using it, all your development disappears, making you an ordinary mortal without a gram of Spiritual Energy and with a body below the Bronze Rank - seeing Lu Piao's raised hand, Xi Yu decided to listen to him, although he didn't care and didn't like it. He tried to tell everything in such detail so that they wouldn't have any questions...

- Are you saying that you gave up your Legendary Rank and became a mere mortal? Was it worth it? Many people don't reach Legend in their entire lives, and you just gave up your innate blessing like that? - Lu Piao asked in disbelief.

- Blessings? Why were you listening to me? My limit was Heavenly Fate! If I had not reconciled my genealogies, for thousands of years of my life I would have remained a small fry, unable to help neither my mother nor my grandmother. I would only be their ballast! Rather than live the way you live, Lu Piao, hating yourself and humbly lowering your head before fate... I would prefer Death! If I had not found this technique, I would have read until there was nothing left to read in the library, and then gone to other places in search of at least 0.000001% chance that I could change my destiny.

You don't understand... What a pity that you can't transfer your consciousness from Nie Li's past life, when you watched your beloved Xiao Xue die in front of your eyes protecting you... I think that you, at least a little, would understand me - After what Xi Yu said, Lu Piao became gloomy and lowered his head, immersed in his thoughts. Xi Yu was infuriated by the limitation of his thinking to this small town, and his inability to grasp the whole picture as a whole.

- So, this technique works as follows. Using the inscribed array, a battle of Souls of two different races of creatures is created. The winner takes all, the loser disappears forever. After a victory, the winner himself decides what to take from the loser. He can take whatever he wants: Memories, Soul Vessel, Demon Spirit, Bloodlines, additional body parts... Absolutely everything that the defeated one has.

When I arrived in Svetozar, I could choose any person and, after conducting a battle of Souls, I could lose the title of Disabled Hybrid. But this would not solve the problem with NeLi, who would most likely become my family's nemesis due to his hatred of the Demonic Beasts from his past life. That's why I decided to take a risk, I knew that if he wins, he will definitely take away my bloodlines and memory. And if he takes away my memory, he will experience everything the same as I did, and my family will become, although not his own, but no longer indifferent to him.

When I made all the preparations, I asked my nanny Ayane to knock out and bring Nie Li. And she quickly dealt with it, after which the Race Absorption and Assimilation Technique was activated. Appearing in our Spiritual World and standing opposite each other, we began a dialogue. We each had one Divine Artifact, he had the Book of Time and Space Demons fused with his soul. And I have the Soul Medallion, which gave me Wisdom and knowledge. But the strength of our Souls was not equal, the Souls of Demonic Beasts themselves are weaker by Rank than that of a person at the same Rank.

I, being a Legend Rank, had a Soul at a Legend Rank only because of the incident that happened with the Soul Medallion, while Nie Li had a strong Soul of a former Deity who fought the Sage Emperor. On top of that, it was also fused with the Book of Time and Space Demons... The difference was so huge that just standing in front of Nie Li and calmly talking to him, I felt extreme pressure.

All my instincts screamed at me to kneel and worship him as a god! But I wanted to come to an agreement with him. Explaining to him that in this life, in order to get to the Sage Emperor, he would again have to sacrifice his teacher... We talked about a lot about the Sage Emperor, and much more, and in the end Nie Li gave up. He said that he was tired and agreed that my soul would win, after which he closed his eyes and spread his arms to the sides.

I didn't take any risks and immediately used my Divine Soul Artifact. Countless runes instantly appeared near him, and he only managed to shout out "WHA...". As his Soul EGO was destroyed and I began to absorb his memory - thinking that Xi Yu had finished, Du Ze asked a question:

"Are you saying that Nie Li gave up so easily?" - Du Ze asked in disbelief, and Lu Piao looked at Xi Yu just as skeptically.

- I thought so... Until I absorbed his memory. It turned out that while we were talking, he noticed how weak my Soul was. And I thought that since I, with such a weak Soul, challenged him to a Duel of Souls, knowing that in a past life he was a Deity. So I have a strong ace up my sleeve. And with his surrender, he wanted to weaken my vigilance, expecting that I would come closer to strike. But he himself was taken by surprise; he never expected that as soon as he closed his eyes, I would attack immediately with my trump card.

His last thoughts were regret, but to justify it to you naive kids, I will say. The world has never been fair to anyone! At any point in your life, a strong man can come and rape and kill your mothers, wives and daughters. And all you can do is hate the villains, or yourself for your weakness and worthlessness! As for me, I don't think I did anything wrong.

I protected my family, I put my life on the line and miraculously survived. If he had won, I would have no hard feelings towards him. The reason I'm telling you all this is because I received his memories. I have a desire to help you. And I found you worthy, at least I found Du Ze worthy, that before you Lu Piao, you were simply Nie Li's best friend in your past life. You were known as a couple of losers until Svetozar collapsed. Now I want to listen to your complaints," Xi Yu calmly summed up.

- If everything you said is true. Well, that you defended your family and put your life on the line. Then I believe that even Nie Li himself in the last minutes had no complaints against you - as always, Du Ze spoke judiciously.

"As Du Ze is always reasonable, Nie Li had no complaints. Nie Li died in regret, his regrets were aimed at the fact that he had overestimated his opponent. If he had acted even half as hard, I wouldn't have had a chance. It's good to be careful, but being too careful can lead to unexpected death," Xi Yu said, looking at Lu Piao.

- I still hate you, if it weren't for you... Nie Li would be with us... But I won't take revenge or anything, it wasn't a simple murder, it was a man's duel where everyone risked getting and losing everything - Lu Piao spoke with a saddened expression.

- Wow, to be honest, I didn't expect anything reasonable from you. I thought you would just ignore everything and succumb to the emotions of loss... How did it happen that your answer went beyond my assumptions? - Xi Yu said in surprise.

"Go ahead... If that's all, then we'll go," Lu Piao said, rising from his sitting position.

- No, that's not all. I told you, I want to change your destiny. Du Ze, I give you a technique that is perfect for you, the Heavenly Qilin Technique. "Memorize the chant of the technique," ​​Xi Yu said, and began to recite the chant, and Du Ze mentally repeated and memorized it.

"This is just an incredibly powerful technique," ​​Du Ze said admiringly, and looked at Xi Yu with eyes full of gratitude. With this technique, his burden on his heart, as well as the weight of his responsibility, lightened a little.

- Now you are Lu Piao, I hope that you and Xiao Xue will be happy. If you make efforts with this technique, then you will definitely become one of the most desirable grooms for any of the families.

Don't let her down! Love is a gift, it is the only thing in the world that cannot be bought or obtained by force. For some, love comes several times, while others may never know it in their entire lives, cherish it. The technique that I give you is called the Technique of the Supreme Primordial Chaos, remember the chant - said Xi Yu, and began to teach Lu Piao the technique.

"Love is a gift, it is the only thing in the world that cannot be bought or obtained by force. For some, love comes several times, while others may never know it in their entire lives... How beautifully said, I wonder where he read this, or maybe he is in love with someone?" - Xiao Ning'er repeated to herself and thought, from the thought that Xi Yu was in love with someone, she felt as if cats were scratching at her heart.

"Xiao Ning'er, you won't receive the technique until you are cured." Don't engage in self-improvement and I promise you won't regret it...

"Okay... Thank you..." Xiao Ning'er answered shyly.

- And lastly, Du Ze, when will your sisters marry that disabled person? - Xi Yu asked.

- FROM... How do you know? Du Ze asked in shock.

"This was your regret in a past life, and somehow you got drunk and blurted out everything," Xi Yu answered.

"In 2 weeks... In the month of the moon..." Du Ze answered, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.

- How much did they pay?

- 4,000 Demonic Spirit Coins...

"Here, there are 50,000 Demonic Spirit Coins here." You can keep the ring. Give exactly 4,000, spend the rest wisely, don't flash your money, and don't talk about it to anyone. So that your family doesn't have unnecessary problems because of them," Xi Yu said, handing over the sub-spatial ring to Du Ze.

- Thank you very much, Xi Yu. "I am Du Ze, I will never forget in my life what you did for me," Du Ze said, accepting the ring, and wanted to kneel in front of Xi Yu, but he stopped him. Du Ze did not want to accept so much just like that, but in order to save his older sisters from a miserable life...

- It's not worth it, I do it because I want to. Ayane, make sure that family silently accepts the money and cancels the wedding. If they don't want it amicably, threaten, but don't kill," Xi Yu said into the void.

"As you wish, Your Highness," Ayane said, appearing out of nowhere.

- A??? - Du Ze, Lu Piao and Xiao Ning'er exclaimed.

- How did she get here? - Lu Piao asked, looking at Ayane in surprise. - How long has she been here? Du Ze asked in shock. - Your Highness? - Xiao Ning'er asked incomprehensibly. - What? You won't even argue? What about your signature "These pathetic little people"? - Xi Yu, who was already prepared to persuade Ayane, was the most surprised.

- Listening to your story today, I realized how much you have grown, but I didn't even notice... How hard it was for you all this time... I thought that you spent 70 years in the library because you like to read. And you suffered so much... Desperately looking for a way to become stronger and help Her Highness Rose and Ancestor Amber... You even risked your life to protect your family. This unworthy servant is stupid and blind, I ask you for punishment, Your Highness... - With reddened eyes, Ayane quickly fell to her knees, asking for punishment.

- Stop it, Ayane. You are not a servant. You are my nanny! You are my family, and the only one who took care of me all these 12 years. By humiliating yourself, you hurt me, if you want punishment so that the feeling of guilt disappears. Then I will give you punishment. Your punishment will be: For a month, you must collect news from all over the city and tell it to me. If this is not enough, then you must, for a month, conduct a dialogue with a stranger every day. It's enough? - Xi Yu asked, helping Ayana up.

"Y-yes, I will carry out these punishments..." Ayane answered, deeply touched by Xi Yu's words.

- Okay, Du Ze and Ayane, go to that disabled person's family. Don't delay, and you are Lu Piao. There are no more Institutes; they don't teach anything useful in that class. Shen Xiu just talks useless nonsense. Go home and train your body until you become a 1 Star Bronze Warrior, don't develop technique. Otherwise it will harm your future practice. Du Ze, this applies to you too, first you need to train your body to 1 Warrior Bronze. Take your time. Lu Piao, if in 2 weeks you do not become 1 Bronze Warrior, without elixirs.

I will arrange it so that Xiao Xue will become the concubine of a perverted 45 year old Gold Rank Demon Cultivator. And if you think I'm joking, you can check it! Xi Yu said in a serious voice.

"I... I went to train...", frightened by what Xi Yu said, Lu Piao answered, and then rushed home. He did not doubt for a second that Xi Yu would do just that! But for some reason Xiao Ning'er immediately realized that this was just motivation for Lu Piao.

"I'll try within a week to become a 1st Star Bronze Warrior," Du Ze said seriously, and his fighting spirit really flared up.

- I never doubted you... First, solve the problem of your sisters. "When there is a stone in the heart, it is more difficult to improve," said Xi Yu, and Du Ze, bowing slightly, turned around and went to deal with the wedding of his sisters, with Ayane following him.

Only Xiao Ning'er Xi Yu remained.
