Chapter 19: Heavenly Asura Path 19
Chapter 19: Inheritance of the Gods
In a land that, thanks to a legend, is said to be blessed, a huge beautiful valley full of colors lay waiting for the right people. And, in front of a beautiful sparkling lake and beautiful flowers that seemed to dance with the breeze and release a scent that would make many people fall in love, two women were standing side by side.
The first one had long black hair, reaching the end of her back. Her skin was a pretty white tone and her facial features were delicate that seemed to be taken from a painting. Although her large black eyes now seemed full of life, a glint of worry constantly appeared. Her well-developed figure was clad in black and gray armor that gave her a heroic touch.
"I still can't believe that I agreed to come with you," Liu Erlong's sweet and melodious voice rang out as she looked at the huge lake in front of her. But, in the end, even if she seemed a little reluctant, she shook her head to look seriously at the woman beside her.
"Now tell me why you know Percy… Bibi Dong"
Bibi Dong's beautiful and noble figure stood beside Liu Erlong, now wearing black robes with a golden lining. Her scepter was gone, as was her crown, leaving her wine-colored hair loosely cascading down her back and her wine-red eyes flashed for a moment, almost as if she was remembering something.
"You could say that… the moment where we meet hasn't happened yet. But at the same time, it's already happened."
"What?" Liu Erlong looked at her with a frown.
Bibi Dong shook her head, "I've already answered you. Now, whether you're able to come up with something more concise, that depends on your capabilities."
"You…" Liu Erlong was not satisfied. The woman beside him could be considered an old love rival. She, like Liu Erlong, fell in love with Yu Xiaogang. In fact, it was before Erlong met him. And now, it seemed to be the same with Percy? Liu Erlong was not satisfied! She was not convinced!
"But…" Bibi Dong opened her mouth again, speaking slowly. "I assure you: I am not your enemy, much less Percy's."
"Why are you helping me? You brought me all the way to the Star Luo Empire for this."
Bibi Dong smiled lightly before sighing as she closed her eyes.
"I'll tell you if you manage to obtain what's at the bottom of the lake."
"What's at the bottom?" Liu Erlong asked, gritting his teeth at Bibi Dong's hints and evasions.
"This place is called the Yin Yang Love Consultation Valley. And it has a bit of a special history," looking at the huge, glistening lake, Bibi Dong began to recount the history of the valley.
Legend has it that in the God Realm, after the Goddess of Love was betrayed by her lover, her grief drove her mad and she descended into the mortal world. Heaven and earth were reversed and the sun and moon turned into a lake.
As the Goddess of Love was betrayed by her lover, she hated all those who betrayed their lovers. Therefore, when these kinds of people entered the Yin-Yang Love Consultation Valley's Sun Moon Lake, she would become enraged and seek to exterminate them.
Only those who were faithful to their lovers could leave this place alive and reap its rewards. All liars would be severely punished.
"Although the valley contains countless opportunities to obtain treasures, it is also the place where the inheritance of the Goddess of Love is located," Bibi Dong now looked seriously at Liu Erlong.
"If you are able to be accepted by the Goddess of Love, then you will obtain the power to be able to accompany Percy everywhere. You want that, right? You want to be able to accompany him, to take care of him when he can't do it himself, to be able to defend his back and walk by his side.
"Then jump; dive to the bottom of the lake and test yourself against the challenges left by the Goddess of Love."
Liu Erlong opened her mouth to speak, but was forcefully pushed into Bibi Dong's hand. Erlong looked back in disbelief as she fell.
"Bibi Dong, you..." She couldn't say anything else as she crashed into the water and stood still. Now that she was in, she might as well give it a try. Anyway, even if she didn't completely believe Bibi Dong, there was nothing to lose by doing some research.
Although she wasn't sure if she could inherit a god-like position like love.
Bibi Dong, who roughly deciphered Liu Erlong's thoughts, only smiled a little sadly as she looked at her hand that exuded a deathly presence.
"Liu Erlong, if you think love is just sweet and calm things, then you're wrong. Love can be passionate and immortal. It can be the most beautiful thing, but also the most terrifying and dangerous," Bibi Dong muttered as she looked at her hand before closing her eyes and clenching her fingers a little tightly.
"I wonder if you could accept me even though you accepted that 'evil'?"
"Hey, little girl!... Since you accepted a lesser evil, why don't you accept the 'evil' of this seat?", a slightly amused, yet seriously mixed voice appeared in the ears of a surprised Bibi Dong.
"I...", Bibi Dong knew what this voice was. She had heard it before. Of course, that time it was a different voice, but the feeling behind it was similar to the one now.
It was the voice of a God!
In a place unknown to mortals, a red-haired woman rolled her eyes at her husband. She moved her hand and forcefully slapped his thigh, causing the man to purse his lips.
"What?..."
"You're breaking the rules! Don't you think Rakshasa feels bad when you're stealing from his heir?"
"Hmph," the man snorted, looking away. "I am a God King. What can Rakshasa say to me? Besides, I think my seat suits her better!"
"All of us God Kings control our concepts. My position suits her better than Rakshasa's."
"Asura will split you in half," the woman commented.
"She dares!" the man shouted, both amused and annoyed. But he wasn't afraid. His position was as high as the God Asura's, therefore, their powers weren't too far from each other.
The two remained silent for a few moments.
"Do you think Amor will accept the girl?" the man asked curiously.
"I don't know. Maybe she will," the woman sighed a little as she remembered what had happened in those times.
"Why don't you accept her?"
"No! Amor has spent a lot of time locked away! Now that someone decided to go for her inheritance, I won't take away her chance to leave the god realm. She deserves a break," the woman said with a frown.
"Rakshasa must be so crazy..." the red-haired goddess sighed, remembering the differences between her and the Asura God.
"Eh... Let him come fight if he wants. My hands are a little itchy."
"Hmph..."
"Hmph..."
The gods snorted before continuing to look in front of them, where there was a glowing circle that showed what was happening on planet Douluo.
