Fu Jing Jing waved her hand and unleashed her cultivation base.

Her presence spread like an all-encompassing blanket, and her aura extended across the whole world and even further beyond.

The air, water, and everything her aura encompassed seemed to come to a stop.

It was as if she had become the center of the Universe, an unrivaled existence.

If before Angel was claiming insanity, now her thoughts had completely changed. She realized; this woman had what it took to take the Whole Heavens. Her strength was far beyond what her imagination could even fantasize.

Then, her voice resounded everywhere in the world. "[Heaven's Mirror: Truth]"

The world changed.

Below Fu Jing Jing, an immeasurable mirror appeared.

The beginning and end of it were impossible to be perceived.

At that moment, the world became an identical copy to the place Angel was before, but now, instead of a clear blue sky, everything was surrounded by those black thunderclouds and fearsome lightning.

Angel almost collapsed as she felt her reality crashing down on her. Her thoughts tangled, her soul quivered, and she would have already fainted to escape this reality if she wasn't in her soul form. However, that would have been the best thing since, because she was in her soul form, Angel was unable to faint and had to experience everything forcefully.

Before Angel, a single woman summoned the Mirror she thought was a product of the Trial, an illusion.

A thing so immeasurable that it could reflect the Heavens itself.

However, Angel realized something that prevented her mental collapse for the moment.

The tips of Fu Jing Jing's fingers were cracking with white lines. She was like a vessel that was trying to fit something much bigger than itself.

Those lines crept up her hands and disappeared under the long white robe, clearly spreading through her whole body.

However, Fu Jing Jing's face remained calm as she spoke. "Face yourself, Heavens. Return to your previous self and continue overlooking everything with unbiased fairness. [Heaven's Mirror: Truth Tribulation]."

Then, the world turned white. From the Mirror below Fu Jing Jing, countless lightning made of the Truth laws, concepts, and realities shoot toward the entirety of the Heavens.

Fu Jing Jing had literally created a tribulation for the Heavens!

The heavens, of course, retaliated.

How dare an entity dare make a Tribulation?

How dare an entity defy it so blatantly?

All the star-shattering lightning fell from the black clouds and collided with the Truth Tribulation.

The scene was the Heavenly Calamity against the Truth Tribulation.

It was a moment filled with the purest of destructions.

Nothing could ever compare to the creation of the beginning.

Worlds across the Universe shattered, reality shattered, countless black voids appeared, the Heaven's shrieked, and all fabric of existence shook.

Angel was trying her best to remain sane during this event.

However, spectating something like that was not something she could resist. Angel felt her cultivation base deviating, her soul quivering in and out of existence, her own thoughts becoming tangled, and her own self crumbling down.

Her soul was dying. Angel was dying.

Even if [True Heart of Glass] was powerful, Angel herself was still weak.

The emotions the sight before her instilled in her made her heart crack without limits, like a base falling to the ground. Her resolution crumbled, her mind began going to the brink of insanity, and her energy went rampant.

As Angel died, the white cracks on Fu Jing Jing's body reached her neck and bare feet.

They kept spreading until her whole body was filled with them.

However, she didn't stop.

Fu Jing Jing knew that doing this would mean her death. Even if her strength was practically unrivaled, it was impossible to create an attack that challenged the Heavens in this way. If the attack were stronger, Fu Jing Jing would be able even to destroy them!

A cultivator that grew thanks to Heaven's energy couldn't challenge it this way. That was the limit of a cultivator. contemporary romance

The Heavens were absolute to such an extent.

Still, Fu Jing Jing did it.

She decided to sacrifice herself for the world to return to normal, for all living beings to live without fear again, not having to worry about the constant Tribulation going on. She did it for the Heavens to regain their fairness and realize their growing partialness.

However, her body felt as if it was about to burst. Her soul, as if it was about to disappear eternally.

Nevertheless, she relentlessly continued using the Mirror to attack the Heavens, even when some parts of her body were falling off and disintegrating into white specks.

After an unknown time passed, the Heavens suddenly stopped attacking and received the Truth Tribulation head-on.

The Tribulation slammed it and created countless locks on it. The Heavens let the Truth Tribulation transform them until they regained their initial state.

An absolutely fair and unbiased existence.

The sacrifice of the woman for itself and all the creatures moved even the unfeeling Heavens, destroying its growing ego!

When Fu Jing Jing realized she had succeeded, a smile appeared on her cracked face, and her white eyes curved with her smile.

This smile was the first and last of this encounter.

It wasn't a proud smile. No, what adorned her crumbling being was a gentle smile full of compassionate feelings.

"Thank you for understanding, Heavens."

In the next instant, unable to bear the pressure anymore, her body exploded like glass, and the Mirror below her disappeared, returning everything to normal.

Those shards of Fu Jing Jing's existence spread throughout the whole world. The light shone through the disappearing black thunderclouds, and the first light in thousands of years refracted on the shards creating a rainbow-like color creating the first and only worldwide aurora.

The last thing the ego of the Heavens did before disappearing was to use its immeasurable power to bend the aurora to write a single sentence.

"Heaven's Truth Saint."

At that moment, everyone knew a new Saint was born, the fifth in the long registered history before the Heavenly Cataclysm.

However, no one knew that the Saint wasn't born but reached the end of her long travel.

The Saint perished to accomplish her objective, to end the dreadful Heavenly Calamity that killed innumerable Gods and immortals.

Angel's consciousness returned to her body.

However, her body fell to the ground powerlessly.

Angel's pupils were dilated, her body limp, and she didn't have a breath in her. Her meridians had cracks, and even her dantian was almost shattered. Her soul was in a terrible state and in the brink of disappearing.

Angel was worse than if she was dead if nothing was done.

Fu Jing Jing looked at Angel and sighed with sadness in her white eyes. "So, the Trial was defective. Not even the innate owner of the [True Heart of Glass] can overcome it. It was too much."

She approached and hugged her between her arms, and lifted her slowly. Even if she was a soul, she could solidify with a little bit of effort.

She wouldn't have combat strength, but carrying a person was within her capabilities.

Angel's body lay limp and with her eyes open between her arms, still without a breath in her.

The Mirror, still in Angel's form, spoke with regret in its voice. "She won't make it. She could almost overcome it, but it was still too much. We've sub-estimated the Trial's difficulty."

It had realized that Angel had what it took to be its master even before the Trial ended.

All previous challengers collapsed right after the Mirror was summoned in the vision since the aura was too powerful. However, Angel didn't even feel it and was shocked at the size and the reality that something like it existed.

This meant that Angel was perfectly compatible with itself. Not even Fu Jing Jing could summon the entirety of its body until she almost reached her peak.

Nonetheless, the rest of the event proved to be too much for her mind, and it collapsed.

If she were with her real body, she would have just fainted as a defense mechanism and avoided serious harm. However, since she was in her soul form, that option didn't exist, and she had to take the full burn.

Suddenly, Fu Jing Jing felt a particular energy surge inside Angel.

Her white eyes regained hope and looked across her body. When her eyes looked at her waist area, she realized the energy came from Angel's uterus.

After their deed, Yasenia didn't help them absorb her Yang energy as she normally does because of the five mortals and her haste to enter the 300,000-point Trial.

Moreover, Angel had also decided to keep it there for as long as she could to feel Yasenia even if she was away. She also didn't normally do it herself because normally the dragoness pampers her and does it for her. Hence, Angel had been walking around with her core filled with Yasenia's Yang energy.

Her body had certainly absorbed a small part of it naturally, but it was a slow process, and she still had more than ninety percent of what Yasenia released in their session.

Now, that energy was burning violently.

It was as if it had felt Angel's dire state.

Like a tsunami of energy, all of Yasenia's Yang energy rushed across the cracked meridians in her uterus toward Angel's dantian. The meridians were cracked but not broken, so with some effort, the Yang energy managed to enter the damaged dantian.

Like spring water to a human dying of thirst, it nourished her greatly, controlling the tangled energy flows because of shock.

Then, it acted like a medium to move that energy through Angel's broken body, slowly activating her subconscious healing properties.

One minute later, Angel opened her eyes wider and took in a deep breath, filling her lungs with needed oxygen and energy.

Her mental state was still crumbled, but her body functions worked on an instinctual level to keep her barely alive.

Fu Jing Jing was delighted, and even the Mirror gained a small smile. Fu Jing Jing said, "Since you regained your consciousness and you are alive, I can count this as overcoming my Trial. Let's begin the inheritance Transferring."

The Mirror was just a helper and a reward for the Trial, so it asked with a little concern in its voice. "What about her mind? Can you heal it? Unlike her body, it has completely crumbled."

Fu Jing Jing looked at the Mirror and raised her eyebrow, "Hoh hoh~ Is it concern what I hear in your tone?"

"W-Who is concerned? I just don't want my future master to become a fool, that's all!"

Fu Jing Jing snorted, "Then, you shouldn't have almost killed her. Prepare for it if her lover arrives, you and me will be in trouble."

The Mirror snorted, "What can a small junior do?"

Fu Jing Jing reminded it, "Our combat strength is only at the low-middle levels of the Unification realm. So, we will be in trouble if she is stronger than that."

The Mirror coughed and didn't comment anymore.

Fu Jing Jing looked at Angel and thought seriously for a second. Then, she shook her head and answered, "I can't help her completely recover, but you shouldn't worry. Her mate could probably find a way to help her. The worst-case scenario is her acting like a child after regaining consciousness or having forgotten a part of her memory. Both of them happening would be the absolute worst scenario."

The Mirror nodded and prepared to start the Transference Ritual.
