Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1313 1307: A Moment Of Joy

To the observers from afar, Everworld had vanished without a trace. However, not a single individual panicked at this occurrence. The disappearance of Everworld was a common event that followed the usage of the Ever-Key.

Prayers across the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region began, all wishing for the safe return of their treasured geniuses and youthful hopes. These Chosen all carried the dreams of their seniors, family, friends, and lovers on their heads. The only thing those who felt the weight could do...was ensure they didnʼt lose it.

Sitting upon his throne, the Aeternal Sky Divine Emperorʼs eyes that resembled the vast beauty of the starry void observed calmly. As San Luoyang took action, summoning the Ever-Key, those eyes of his seemingly underwent a cataclysmic shift of a galactic scale. The movement of those stars within his gaze was abnormally fast, and they experienced birth and an end in a matter of moments. A single breath later, his starry eyes revealed an image that was vastly different than before.

The positioning of the stars, even the thickness of the nothingness that occupied the darkness, seemed greater, and each star was a tiny bit brighter than they were before. In that brief moment, it seemed as if he underwent a heaven-shaking change.

Slowly, his figure rose from his throne, and the world trembled.

”Huuuu!” He deeply inhaled. As he did, the space in the throne room began to draw towards him, including all light and gravity. He seemed to occupy the center of this world as if he was the center of the entire universe, the overseer of heaven and earth, the ruler of the stars and the void, and the controller of all beneath the sky.

”Astonishing!” His voice was incredibly deep and mighty, befitting an Emperor. The sheer bass of his voice caused the walls of stone to ripple and distort.

”One more step left.”

Wang Yutian was anxiously observing the Void Wyrm slither about, fearful it might awaken again. Suddenly, his ears perked, and his eyes darted toward the Aeternal Sky Starfield. A faint light emanated from his eyes, and he tilted his head curiously as he calculated and inspected the changes in the Worldʼs Flow.

”Oh? What courage you have,” Wang Yutian commented as he thoughtfully placed his hand upon his chin, gazing at the Aeternal Sky Starfield. ”All you need now is access. Then, freedom may very well be yours. But what a dangerous game you play.”

After saying this, Wang Yutianʼs interest faltered as he returned to the Void Wyrmʼs slumbering figure slithering through Chaotic Space. Wei Wuyin had stirred the hornetʼs nest, and Wany Yutianʼs heart had been unable to find peace since that day.

”As amazing as you might be, can you not be so reckless next time.” He slightly gulped as the nostrils of the Void Wyrm flared. It felt as if the slightest shock could wake the beast! If this kept up, his Spirit Heart might not be able to handle it.

Countless were waiting with bated breaths, hoping their Chosen would find startling success in the Chosen King Competition, coming back with loads of treasures and resources to fuel their rise to become top-tier experts of the world.

Wu Yu was not among them, as he deeply understood that the King of Everloreʼs leftovers would never be able to satisfy Wei Wuyinʼs needs. By his side was Feng Qingchu, her eyes focused on his side profile once again. The two stood together, like a noble couple bonding as they observed the ongoings of the world. There was a unique sense of unity between them but also a thread of uncertainty.

”When do you have to leave?” Feng Qingchu softly asked.

Wu Yu raised his eyebrow slightly; Feng Qingchu knew that he had a mission given to him by Wei Wuyin years ago, and it was meant to begin as soon as the Chosen King Competition started. It was certainly going to be a dangerous objective, but he was never one to be afraid.

”Iʼll leave in a few hours,” Wu Yu said. While he tried to have a gentle tone, given his mission, it was difficult to be truly at ease. There was always a chance that it all went wrong, and these might be the last words he would ever say to Feng Qingchu.

”...few hours,” Feng Qingchu muttered softly. Her reaction was quite peculiar, and Wu Yu was a little taken aback. He grabbed her hand, showing a rare display of publicly shown affection, and calmly tried reassuring her: ”You should know my track record. When have I ever failed?”

With his best effort, he smiled.

”...” Feng Qingchu, however, simply stared at him. There was an unease in her eyes that felt impossible to erase or comfort.

”Whatʼs wrong?” Frowning, Wu Yu noticed something was amiss with Feng Qingchuʼs attitude. He was about to see if she was feeling unwell, sending his Spiritual Sense into her body to inspect her, but the moment he tried, she jolted her hand away from him as quickly as lightning.

”What?! Did you...?” This was the first time she had avoided his Spiritual Sense since they first met, since they first had that night together, since they told each other their respective feelings, and now he was entirely baffled and unsure how to react. As a Grand Monarch, he was forceful to the outside world, a tyrant of the highest order, fearless and domineering, yet to his lover, he was as gentle as a babyʼs fist and as loving as one could imagine.

Moreover, he devoted his feelings to one person and only one person. His late wife, Jimia, experienced the fullest extent of that love long ago, and today, it belonged to Feng Qingchu. Furthermore, he was not half-hearted with his feelings. So when Feng Qingchu recoiled from his Spiritual Sense, pulling away, the emotions he felt were particularly strong.

Feng Qingchu saw the devastation, confusion, uncertainty, shock, and urgency all flowing through Wu Yuʼs eyes. ”I...” She tried to speak, but she did not know what to say or how to explain herself.

”...” They stayed there, awkwardly in each otherʼs company, floating amongst the stars. It was as if there was only them, no one else.

After a long while, Wu Yu didnʼt try to force the issue. ”I donʼt know why you are acting like this, but you can tell me whenever youʼre ready. No matter what, Iʼll never hurt you.” After speaking those words from the heart, hoping she understood that, even if she wanted to end their relationship, he would not be petty and seek revenge. That was far, far, far beneath him as a Grand Knight!

He decided to leave early. It was best not to stay and have his emotions affect his mission.

”...” Feng Qingchu saw Wu Yu turn away, about to leave, and she felt as if her heart was being gripped by a large pair of devilish hands. A feeling, as inexplicable as could be, told her that if she held back, she would forever regret it.

”W-wait!” She called out, hurriedly grabbing Wu Yuʼs hand. The regal Grand Knight turned around, curiosity blazing in his eyes. Feng Qingchu was clutching Wu Yuʼs hand with tremendous force, enough to crush planets, her nervousness was spreading throughout her entire body, and Wu Yu could feel it from every minute quiver.

”Wu Yu...” She began, her eyes lifting, finding his pair of gorgeously alluring eyes that seemed as if they contained the endless stars of the world.

”Iʼm pregnant.”

”...” Wu Yu.

”...” Feng Qingchu.

”W-weʼre...pregnant?” Wu Yu was astonished, but despite his shock, there was a slowly forming smile so brilliant, so refreshing, so happy that it could take away all the colors of the world, no, the entire universe.

”Weʼre pregnant?” He asked again.

Feng Qingchu nodded a little fearfully. She was a long-living Ascended, yet here she was, acting like a young woman. ”Weʼre?” Only when she caught on to Wu Yuʼs words did her brain finally react. Her fear, her uncertainty, all of it...just washed away.𝐟𝘳ℯ𝚎𝘄𝒆𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝚎l. c𝘰𝑚

”WEʼRE PREGNANT!!!” Wu Yuʼs excitement was exhilarating, unrestrained, and thunderous as he shouted to the heavens with boisterous, booming laughter. He lifted Feng Qingchu into his arms, flying about at speeds that would be invisible to mortals. Feng Qingchu was shocked, but Wu Yuʼs reaction infected her, and her smile would not fade as she laughed alongside him.

Within a field of chaos, schemes, and a world on the verge of a world-ending calamity, a moment of untainted joy was found by a Grand Knight and a Lady.
