Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 1175: Mutated Divine Embryonic Seed (2)



The headless winged spawns swiftly broke through the chamber walls, crossing over to the outside. Aurora prepared to use Eternal Void Leap if their lives were endangered again.

Aurora glanced at Aerialia with a worried expression, uncertain if she could ensure her safety.

The crimson greatsword in Aerialia's grasp flared with intensity, fueled by the realisation that she wasn't just one goddess but two powerful goddesses who had singlehandedly made it through the Stellar Gates.

"You don't need to be so cautious. Since I've decided to restrain myself, she has also decided to do the same," the goddess responded, attempting to soothe the abrupt tension in the surroundings.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. Their wariness grew stronger after learning that she was also communicating with the goddess of malevolence and witches while conversing with them. Orion took a deep breath to calm himself, then asked, "Then is Zera, the..." Before he could finish his sentence, a response came from his own lips, "No, she's not. She's our priestess." Seeing their confused expressions, she continued to explain, "It was difficult to share one body with two divine souls, but considering that our souls were now tied together, it meant that even if one was severely damaged, as long as the other was intact, we would definitely heal and recover. Five years after awakening, we finally learned to cooperate and utilise our bodies efficiently. By ten years, we had ascended to the level of a 7th-order demigod while re-cultivating our laws."

"After another ten years, we completed all seven orders of the demigod realm and finally ascended into genuine godhood. Considering that we were two souls grasping the laws, we prepared ourselves for the challenges ahead, knowing that our ascension would be exceedingly difficult, if not terrifying, to pass through."

"We thought we would face our first ascension trial in another ten to twenty years, which would propel us forward. But nothing happened. Even after half a century, we could not trigger the ascension trials of the divine mysteries. At that point, we realised something was wrong, and the more we investigated, the more we understood that the issue lay within our new form and the Vylkr energy."

"So, we became determined to reach the summit on our own. In three thousand years, we re- cultivated 90 per cent of our laws. It was faster than we had imagined in any of our countless lifetimes. At the same time, we cultivated demigods and developed a few techniques to properly channel their combat prowess, as regular techniques based on the Vylkr energy were ineffective and couldn't be easily replicated."

"We also divided the realm, using our abilities to reconstruct a Mirror Realm, which greatly expanded the land and resources for the inhabitants. It also sealed their energies, halting their transformation into tainteds. Until one day, we sensed the arrival of the Divine Mysteries."

"Initially, we thought it was an ascension trial that would hasten our rise to true godhood. However, we were mistaken. What emerged was not an ascension trial, but a great tribulation."

The goddess's emotionless eyes held a look of melancholy as she continued.

"We fought relentlessly but could not stop everything we had built over the years from collapsing. The will of the divine mysteries said it was here to maintain balance, that we were an abomination threatening the order of all things. To be honest, we understood its reasoning, as we had already come to a similar conclusion."

"However, that didn't mean we were willing to give up everything. The one responsible for this also possessed abilities beyond reason, threatening the order of all things, so we needed this very power to confront him."

"We refused to admit defeat and fought with everything we had. Our forces couldn't even last a few seconds against the tribulation before they were destroyed, and with time, everything we had lost vanished."

Orion's thoughts immediately flashed back to when Ilse was attacked during her first awakening. Without the Primordial Barrier, she would have died at that moment.

Aurora's mind also raced in a daze, barely registering the rest of the goddess's words. 'The will of the Divine Mysteries,' she thought. She couldn't help but wonder why the Divine Mysteries had granted her an ascension trial or what would have happened if it decided to eliminate her. The thought was both terrifying and unsettling. Initially, she had believed she'd grown powerful enough to protect Paradise, but it seemed there was yet another mountain to climb at the summit.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.

'Loira's birth triggered the Divine Mysteries, which caused the same for me. However, I didn't feel like I was losing my will; instead, I felt refreshed and fulfilled. Was it because I wouldn't transform into a tainted being that I was also recognised by the Divine Mysteries and given an ascension trial?' she wondered, sighing. 'If that's the case, then it makes sense. I truly am the first of my kind.'

"Soon, we realised that our strength and minds were gradually weakening due to the excessive use of Vylkr energy. It appeared that even though Vylkr energy no longer saw us as foreign entities, it didn't mean we were completely safe from its curse. If the battle had continued longer, we would have lost our minds and transformed into the tainted. In order to escape this fate, we made a decision."

"This Divine Mystery wanted us dead. So, even if we attempt to reincarnate, it would most likely locate and eliminate us. Thus, we took a different approach. We created another divine embryonic seed with a similar design to the former but much sturdier and more powerful." "Then, we selected a human demigod couple and gave her the seed. Humans possess far more potential than any other race and are more resilient when utilising Vylkr energy. We hoped that when she conceived, her newborn would merge with the divine embryonic seed, creating a mutated divine seed where a mortal could house the divine souls of the two of us

goddesses."

"Of course, we weren't certain if it would work, so we created another divine embryonic seed and stored it in the outside world. We relied on the demigods who had descended to the outside to help hide their aura. Fortunately, one of our demigods flooded the entire pocket dimension, masking its presence with her aura for an extended period. However, she suffered a severe, irreversible injury from the ongoing battle."

"We did our best to hide our actions from the Divine Mysteries, as this was a pocket dimension and a mirror realm, so it held little authority here. We also made sure to leave behind our inheritances if none of our plans succeeded."

"We wanted them to seek justice for themselves and leave the pocket dimension when the barrier seal we placed on it weakened. If unsuccessful, they would still have the Mirror Realm and could live the rest of their lives oblivious to all that had transpired."

"After sensing our deaths, the Divine Mysteries continued the tribulation for several years, killing off the demigods who defied it. It left many others injured and then vanished as it had come. Fortunately, one of them succeeded."

"As soon as the demigoddess conceived, her seed merged with the divine embryonic seed, transforming it into another mutated divine embryonic seed. Though the child was healthy, she depleted her mother's essence. On the day of her birth, the child was born as a demigoddess, hosting two distinct divine souls. That child was Zera. Sadly, her mother died during delivery."

"Still, none of this was revealed to the waiting demigods, who were expecting the rebirth of their goddess. We feared the Divine Mysteries catching on to our plan and foiling it, so we chose to remain hidden, observing the situation through Zera and teaching her everything we knew to make her self-dependent."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"She became our priestess. Over time, we aided her in strengthening the barrier until we could fully seal out the Divine Mysteries. Unfortunately, even if it can't attack directly, it can still do so indirectly. I have no doubt that its actions will intensify after today."

"Since it seems you arrived here with no ill intentions..." the goddess said, shifting her gaze from Aerialia to focus on Orion and Aurora, "...then we will hand over our inheritances as

promised, but on one condition."

"What is the condition?" Orion asked.

He didn't want to leave without obtaining the inheritance and was thankful she was being upfront about her terms. After hearing all she had been through, it would have been

unbelievable if she had handed it over without asking for something in return.

Help her fight against the Will of Divine Mysteries for revenge?

Help the residents of the Mirror Realm the way they had aided those in the pocket dimension?

Prove they were capable of inheriting their inheritance?

Or promise to kill Naka with their own hands?

Orion wondered what her condition would be. He could handle all of them except the first one.

He was confident but not reckless enough to believe he could go up against a force that even this goddess had ultimately failed to defeat.
