731: Chapter 144: Izanami’s Origin Divinity 731: Chapter 144: Izanami’s Origin Divinity Izanami, heartbroken by her split with her husband Izanagi, eventually returned to Yomi-no-kuni.

In truth, after the split, she had caused quite a scene.

Every day, she killed a fixed number of people in Izanagi’s territories, while he created even more people daily.

In this way, Izanami ultimately couldn’t kill off the population on Izanagi’s lands.

Such events, placed in modern society, are indeed common.

A wife is accidentally disfigured and cannot recover, leading to her being abandoned by her cold-blooded husband.

Although it’s a common occurrence, for the abandoned wife, it feels like the sky has fallen in despair.

Back then, Izanami was in such despair that she returned to Yomi-no-kuni.

Later, a world fragment floated over the river in Yomi-no-kuni.

As an innate deity, Izanami naturally understood the uses of such a fragment.

If everything in the world could be redone, Izanami would never want to give birth to the Fire God for Izanagi.

If she hadn’t given birth to the Fire God, she wouldn’t have died, and wouldn’t have lost her beauty in Yomi-no-kuni, becoming a terrifying monster.

Truly a monster, Izanami was even afraid to see her own appearance, so there was never a mirror hung in Yatsumi Palace in Yan Wuyue World.

Now that Yan Wuyue World was about to fall into the hands of outside evils, Izanami felt powerless and intended to go all out in a desperate fight, which could also be a relief.

Not all innate deities pursued higher levels of existence.

What mortals fantasized and believed was just part of them.

Izanami wasn’t as great as the descendants she created imagined.

She preferred having a husband who could stay by her side on the long godly path, never leaving.

But all this eventually came to an end—this intruder, surprisingly, had a way to resolve even her attempt to shatter Yan Wuyue World, leaving Izanami in a state of melancholy.

She had woven a world where she could remain tender with her husband, and seeing this world about to slip into someone else’s hands, how could she be content?

Yet, what could she do if she wasn’t?

Unable to win the fight and even if it meant mutual destruction, it wouldn’t work.

Izanami recalled everything since being abandoned, looking at her decayed flesh and blood, finding herself despicable.

In her sorrow, tears fell silently.

Izanami finally sighed, turned her hand, and there was a black card…

If it was that woman with powerful divine power, she might easily solve everything for her, right?

But after she took out the black card, an eerie stillness fell all around.

Izanami looked in surprise at the culprit eroding Yan Wuyue World—Miki.

Miki was utterly motionless… even the fragmentation and cohesion of the world fragment with Yatsumi Palace as the origin, came to a halt.

Colors faded gradually, and everything turned gray and white…

Time seemed to have stopped.

You Ye arrived with a smile, wearing a black and white maid’s outfit.

The maid seemed to have completely forgotten about Izanami ruining a corner of her skirt, “Guest, we heard your call.

Is there anything you need?”

Izanami looked at the oblivious Miki and the completely paused scene, wanting to say something—but as she thought about it, she couldn’t describe her feelings at this moment.

She even instinctively thought about one thing: she and Arex fought over the world fragment, only those involved could understand the peril.

But to this woman with powerful divine power, and perhaps to the place behind her, did these struggles have any meaning?

How did they perceive all this—were they like herself, sitting in Yatsumi Palace, viewing the mortal world?

With differing realms and levels, Izanami couldn’t even grasp their thoughts—perhaps she couldn’t imagine a reasonable answer. “Is it to deal with this Ms.

Miki?” You Ye suddenly asked again.

It was indeed a suggestion that greatly tempted Izanami—but to deal with Miki, what would be the price she needed to pay?

Now with Miki’s strength far surpassing hers, to deal with Miki and regain Yan Wuyue World, and continue immersing in a world of dream-like warmth, could she afford such a cost?

The answer was likely no.

Izanami lowered her head, her mind in chaos, not knowing what she truly wanted—but there must be something she desired, otherwise, the black card wouldn’t have reacted. “Guest, please decide on what you want.” The maid reminded again, “This is a space for negotiating with you, not a haven for fleeing.”

Izanami knew this well.

Initially, when everything paused, she thought she’d take advantage of Miki being frozen to kill her right away.

If she couldn’t, at least she’d recover some strength—in which she found that she too was paused here, only her thoughts could move freely.

Once this negotiation ended and the woman with powerful divine power left, everything would return to normal—she’d still be at the cusp of being devoured by Miki? “I want…

I want to return to my original form.” Izanami said slowly.

She couldn’t even understand why what she wanted in the end turned out to be such a thing.

She thought she should have more and better options, like having this woman with powerful divine power help her escape, then regain strength to reclaim Yan Wuyue World, or ask for assistance to kill Miki… yes, there should’ve been choices that seemed better. “Is it enough to just return to your previous appearance?” “Not just the appearance, I mean my original state…

I mean my pre-life state.” Izanami thought for a moment, making a complete supplement—only restoring appearance might let her be in a state of an ordinary person. “Pre-life?” You Ye nodded, then fell silent for a moment.

In Izanami’s view, this woman with powerful divine power seemed more like waiting for something, rather than contemplating… perhaps orders.

Izanami was truly curious, who exactly was behind, and what existence controlled such a powerful divine woman so obediently. “Yes, but please tell what you plan to use for payment?” “Don’t ask me.” Izanami shook her head, “Why don’t you name a price, I’ll see if I can agree, it’s whatever.”

You Ye nodded and said calmly: “Then I’ll offer a few options.

First, your Divine Soul—of course, after your life ends, the Divine Soul belongs to us.

Second, your original Divinity—initially, there was a third option too, but considering your situation now, the third option has been excluded.” “What is the third option?” Izanami asked, somewhat unwilling. “True Soul, four hundred thousand True Souls.” “Four hundred thousand!” Izanami exclaimed, opening her mouth.

In the whole of Yan Wuyue World, the number of True Souls didn’t exceed five hundred thousand, this was almost taking everything!

And these True Souls were ones she secretly withheld from Huang Quan Guo…

Yan Wuyue World didn’t have a complete cycle system, unlike other main realities which had conditions to let Pseudo-Souls evolve into True Souls.

But now that she lost control over Yan Wuyue World, and the True Souls she brought had entirely integrated with Yan Wuyue World, marked by this Small World’s seal, she was less entitled than the current Miki—even if this negotiation fails, once You Ye leaves, this ownership could be lost entirely.

Though she said she could accept whatever could be accepted, Izanami never expected the price would be so steep!

Either the Divine Soul, or the original Divinity!

Being an innate deity, Izanami knew that deities don’t truly die after death, otherwise, she couldn’t have been reborn in Huang Quan Guo after giving birth to the Fire God.

Would it be worth trading the almost immortal Divine Soul for a limited divine life span?

If it were the original Divinity… losing it meant losing all potential for evolution.

Not to mention how much Divine Power could be preserved, even retaining this weaker Divine Power level would be a question. “God…” Izanami hesitated repeatedly, deeply aware the other party wouldn’t tolerate her stalling, finally gritting her teeth, “If I want you to help me reclaim Yan Wuyue World?

After reclaiming, any amount of True Souls, I can use for payment!” “If that’s so, it might be a bit difficult.” You Ye smiled slightly: “The current recognition of Yan Wuyue World… it doesn’t belong to the guest.

Since it doesn’t belong to you, we’d hope you could offer something as collateral.” “Still my Divine Soul or original Divinity?” Izanami asked bitterly. “After all, the guest now cannot take out something equivalent to a world fragment.” You Ye nodded. “That Arex, did he also make such a pledge back then?” Izanami suddenly asked with bright eyes.

You Ye said calmly: “The guest’s requests are confidential with us—of course, if it is disclosed by the guest themselves, it is not within our confidentiality scope.”

But Arex’s previous involvement was just assistance, whereas Izanami’s request is for a precise retrieval, naturally, the cost is different.

Izanami could not know the agreement between Arex and the club.

On one hand, she vaguely felt that this confidentiality agreement could also be broken—as long as she is willing to purchase this information, otherwise, the club’s so-called promise to sell anything would mean nothing.

But the problem is, to buy naturally requires payment…

But using the Divine Soul and original Divinity as collateral… marking her own Divine Soul or original Divinity with the club’s imprint beforehand?

Even if the True Soul is later exchanged back, how can one ensure that the other party has not tampered with one’s own Divine Soul or original Divinity? “Original Divinity!” Izanami took a deep breath, “The first request… please help me restore my state during life.”

Original Divinity, losing it is indeed extremely fatal to innate divinities…

But at least, losing original Divinity doesn’t mean there’s no way to regain it.

Since the club accepts True Souls, at worst, one can gather more True Souls in the future and buy it back from the club.

As for the Yan Wuyue World, even if it’s already taken by external evil, there may still be opportunities to reclaim it in the future…

Of course, this process will probably be very long, or extremely difficult, but overall, it’s not a dead end. “Have you decided?” You Ye suddenly asked, “Guest, you can also choose to use your original Divinity as collateral.

Actually, I’m more inclined for you to retrieve the Yan Wuyue World.

After all, even if you lose four hundred thousand True Souls, this world fragment remains yours.” “No need, just help me restore my state during life.” Izanami slowly closed her eyes. “Alright, please wait a moment.” You Ye nodded.

The maid’s slender and white palm opened, and a cluster of black flames rained down—these flames could burn away the Yomi-no-iki from Izanami’s body.

Once her body is free of the Yomi-no-iki, the cost of Resurrection becomes much lower—the life span required from the master naturally decreases significantly.

As a qualified maid serving her master, how could she not help her master earn the greatest profit and save more expenses? … …

Miki had such an illusion—as if she had experienced something, and then in an instant, it was already completed, yet she did not know what exactly happened.

But everything seemed unchanged.

However, Miki keenly perceived that the rupture of the world fragment seemed to have stopped, allowing her to easily piece these broken fragments back together.

Izanami in front of her suddenly stood still, just looking at her with a profoundness.

Miki frowned, “Have you given up resisting?

If so, I can give you a blissful dream… you won’t even know you are dreaming.” “Is it worth it for this man?”

Still with that decaying body, Izanami’s voice suddenly became less unpleasant… almost gentle. “Oh?

Is this your final struggle?” Miki sneered, “Trying to estrange Arex-sama and me?”

Izanami shook her head, lowered her head, and suddenly smiled bitterly, “I have pondered a question for countless years… actually, I am just like you.

You… better take care of yourself.”

Izanami’s body, suddenly dispersed!

Miki was stunned, Izanami’s disappearance even exceeded all her perceptions…

However, with Izanami gone, all the authority of the Yan Wuyue World instantly merged into her body, in just a thought, she became the true master of the Yan Wuyue World!

The entire process was swift and smooth, so smooth that Miki was greatly astonished!

The Yatsumi Palace began to collapse after this, and the Heavenly Rock Pillar also started to crumble, the traces Izanami left in the Yan Wuyue World were disappearing rapidly.

Miki, with a hint of perplexity, eventually left this place. “Master, the world you wanted, Miki has finally acquired it for you…” … …

When Miki returned to the Sakura Tree, her face changed drastically in an instant.

It wasn’t that Arex, who was under treatment by the Sakura Tree, was harmed, but that she saw there the person whom Arex-sama deeply apprehended.

That boss!

Naturally, the maid beside the boss was also there… looking at You Ye, Miki felt a burning sensation in her throat.

Now that she was already the true master of the Yan Wuyue World, could she possibly… but when Miki met the maid’s gaze, she instinctively gave up on this thought! “You… what’s your purpose here?” Miki was startled and uncertain, but she quickly walked forward, shielding Arex—although she clearly felt that the boss didn’t seem to care much about the healing Arex-sama. “Congratulations, you have become the master of the Yan Wuyue World.” Boss Luo smiled slightly.

Miki frowned, recalling the deal between Arex and Luo Qiu, then sternly said, “The True Soul Arex-sama promised you, I will pay!

Please return Arex-sama’s box as soon as possible!” “No rush, we absolutely would not touch the collateral of our guests.” Boss Luo shook his head, “But before that, could I ask you to look at something?” “What is it?” Miki frowned.

Luo Qiu said softly: “A story that was just written.”
