Chapter 318 - The Demon Lord Defiled My Purity, I Must Kill Him!

In the sea of consciousness.

Luo Ruying slowly opened her eyes and found that she was currently lying on a massive, boundless palm.

The palm shimmered with celestial spiritual energy, was golden and transparent, and seemed to be the hand of a Dharma Body.

Luo Ruying stood up, looked high up, and found that it was indeed so.

At this moment, she was standing on top of a towering Dharma Body.

This female Dharma Body was towering and magnificent, clad in immortal armor, with ribbons of silk shimmering and circling around her body, exquisitely beautiful without losing her heroic bearing.

Luo Ruying recognized it at a glance; this was the Luo Shen Dharma Body she cultivated.

But how could she be on the palm of her Luo Shen Dharma Body…?

She clearly remembered passing through the blizzard of the Extreme Cold Land with Ning Yechen and arriving before a dust-covered icicle…

It seemed she had uncontrollably reached out to touch that icicle, and after that, she couldn't remember what had happened at all…

Just as Luo Ruying was feeling puzzled, a light and ethereal voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

"You're awake."

Luo Ruying followed the sound and looked over, only to see an exquisitely beautiful woman with silver hair and red eyes, whose lovely face bore some resemblance to her own, dressed in immortal armor with a high ponytail, standing on the other palm, her beautiful eyes gazing at her quietly.

"Are you… the Luo Shen Ancestor…?" Luo Ruying asked in disbelief upon seeing the Luo Shen.

This temperament and appearance, as well as this immortal armor and heroic bearing, were extremely similar to the statue of the Luo Shen that stood in the Luo Shen Palace!

"Indeed." The Luo Shen parted her red lips and replied calmly.

"Luo Ruying of the Luo Shen Palace greets the Luo Shen Ancestor!" Receiving an affirmative answer, Luo Ruying hurriedly bowed in greeting.

She hadn't expected the Luo Shen Ancestor's divine soul to still exist, and that she would have the good fortune to meet her…

But for some reason, she felt a very familiar and strange feeling in her heart…

"You need not be so polite to me."

"You are me, and I am you."

"You and I are of the same soul, originally one person. It was I who called you here." The Luo Shen raised her hand, signaling for Luo Ruying not to be so formal.

Hearing the Luo Shen's reply, Luo Ruying was greatly shocked, her face full of disbelief.

"The Luo Shen Ancestor and I… are the same soul…?"

"That's right."

"You are the reincarnation of half of my divine soul."

"All of this was a preparation left behind by me—or rather, you—ten thousand years ago."

The Luo Shen nodded and then began to tell Luo Ruying the origin of the matter.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Six Realms were in chaos, with endless disputes and ceaseless wars.

At that time, the Immortal and Beast realms were also fighting inextricably, with countless casualties.

All the realms were devastated, with corpses strewn everywhere, and the number of fallen cultivators and mortals was immeasurable…!

She could not bear to see the tragic state of the Six Realms and thus dedicated herself to mediating their conflicts.

But ever since she began to mediate, she was continuously met with assassinations!

She vaguely sensed a conspiracy!

It seemed someone was intentionally promoting conflict in the Six Realms!

Afterwards, on her way back, she was ambushed and intercepted by the Nine-headed Beast Sovereign, Yingli!

At that time, another mysterious person assisted the Beast Sovereign, secretly wounding her heavily!

This was why she was powerless to fight on, and in the end, could only use all her remaining strength to cut off one of Yingli’s heads and seal him.

After that, she could no longer hold on. With her heavily injured immortal body, she laid down a celestial array. Her immortal body transformed into spiritual energy to nurture the future generations of the Luo Shen Clan, while her divine soul split in two.

One wisp of her divine soul was sealed here, while the other entered the cycle of reincarnation, to find the lost soul again after rebirth and reclaim her original cultivation and memory!

All of this was a preparation she had laid down ten thousand years ago when she perished!

After listening to the Luo Shen's account, Luo Ruying was still a bit disbelieving for a moment.

Although she had always been respectfully called the reincarnation of the Luo Shen by the Luo Shen Palace and the people of the Heavenly Realm, she had never thought that she was the Luo Shen Ancestor…

The reincarnated divine soul had already developed a new personality. The Luo Shen also knew that Luo Ruying must be very confused and disbelieving at this moment.

In order to make Luo Ruying believe that she was her, the Luo Shen spoke again:

"Did your mother drink the Luo Shen Water I left behind?"

Luo Ruying nodded, and then her beautiful eyes froze as she seemed to understand something.

"That Luo Shen Water was actually formed from my immortal bone, and that half-wisp of my divine soul resides within it."

"Without a doubt, you are my reincarnation." The Luo Shen explained calmly.

Hearing this, Luo Ruying gradually came to believe the fact that she was the reincarnation of the Luo Shen.

"Then, Ancestor Luo Shen, you called me here so that our divine souls could become one…?" Luo Ruying asked, looking up at the Luo Shen.

The Luo Shen nodded, her expression solemn.

"Precisely!"

"You and I were originally one person. Only after merging can we truly become one person, one soul!"

"Merge with me!"

After speaking, the Luo Shen extended her hand towards Luo Ruying, an expectant look on her face.

Luo Ruying hesitated, slowly walked to the edge of the palm, and subconsciously reached out her own hand…

Just as their hands were about to touch, a commotion outside the sea of consciousness suddenly startled Luo Ruying.

She suddenly realized that she couldn't control her body; her consciousness was trapped firmly in this sea of consciousness!

If her consciousness was sleeping at this moment, then who was controlling her body?

Without a doubt, it could only be the Luo Shen before her!

"You're controlling my body…?"

Luo Ruying pulled back her hand and asked, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

"I have said it, you and I are one person. This is your body, and also my body.”

"You only need to return to me and truly become one with me." The Luo Shen said sincerely, still holding out her palm.

"What are you doing with my body right now…?"

Luo Ruying did not extend her hand again, but continued to press the question.

She could faintly hear Ning Yechen’s voice…!

Seeing this, the Luo Shen helplessly retracted her hand first and said calmly:

"I am in the process of annihilating the Demon Lord."

"Annihilating my husband…?!"

"How could you make a move on my husband!"

"Stop at once!"

The moment Luo Ruying heard this, she furrowed her beautiful brows and said angrily.

"Silence!"

"That fellow is not our husband!"

"You are also half of my divine soul! You… how could you marry the Demon Lord!"

"And-and even do that kind of thing with him!"

Luo Ruying's mentioning him was one thing, but the moment Ning Yechen was brought up, the Luo Shen was also overcome with shame and anger, scolding her.

If Luo Ruying’s divine soul hadn't been a perfect match for her own, she wouldn't have believed that Luo Ruying was the reincarnation of half of her divine soul!

To think that the other half of her divine soul, another version of herself, would do such a thing…!

Luo Ruying was so flustered by the Luo Shen's words that her face turned beet red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Although the two divine souls had not yet completely merged into one, their memories had already merged.

The Luo Shen had seen everything that had happened between her and Ning Yechen as clear as day…

Seeing Luo Ruying fall silent, the Luo Shen continued, disappointed and angry:

"Back then, when you were afflicted by the aphrodisiac poison and were forced by the Demon Lord, you should have killed him on the spot!"

"B-But I was the one who forced him back then…"

"He was only helping me neutralize the poison. How could I do such a thing…!" Luo Ruying retorted, her face flushed red as she argued her case.

Besides, even if she had really tried, it would have been impossible to defeat him.

"Silence!"

"I don't care!"

"The Demon Lord defiled my purity, I must kill him!"

Being told this by Luo Ruying, the Luo Shen couldn't help but blush, her heart a mixture of shame and indignation.

She had waited ten thousand years for the return of her reincarnated divine soul, only to be told that not only had she gotten married, but the other party was the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm…!

And she had even borne that fellow a child…!

How was she supposed to accept this…!
