He would take those words with a pinch of salt. That was what Himmel Soan thought about Lumi.
“What do you need me to help you with?” Himmel Soan asked. After everything Lumi said, he felt he should say something, regardless if it had told the truth.
“I want to fight the law of nature.”
Lumi didn’t beat around the bush and made a shocking announcement. Even Yagon would be surprised if he heard it.
Their cultivation revolved around the law of nature. Without it, they wouldn’t have anything to cultivate with. Fighting against the law of nature would be the same as destroying this world.
“Do you want to replace it and become a conscious law of nature?” Himmel Soan asked.
At first, Lumi wanted to be a real person, but it now wanted to become the law of nature. That was why Himmel Soan never trusted it. The law of nature was relentless; growing a mind wouldn’t change that.
“No! I just want to become a person. But the only way for me to break free from the law of nature is to destroy it!
“Only then can I really be free!” Lumi explained.
Himmel Soan only smiled. “Yes, I’m immortal, but my capability is very limited. What am I supposed to do with the law of nature? You’re trying to ask a cultivator to destroy the law of nature. You must be joking.
“Moreover, why should I help you? Is it because you told me something about Gina? You said she suddenly disappeared. That’s just not possible.”
How could a person suddenly disappear?
He came here from Earth for a reason. It was the result of the unstable portal and Gina’s image. That was why he was teleported here.
He still hadn’t had any time to figure out how it was done. He tried once when he recovered a third of his power, but he didn’t succeed.
Maybe he could only do that when he recovered all his power.
He didn’t understand all the hints Gina had left behind for him. In the end, he decided to take his time.
“You’re capable enough, or the law of nature would have attacked you as it did with Gina.
“Gina’s disappearance was very strange. I don’t know how to explain it, either. She just vanished. I detected the residual power of time and space. I don’t know where it came from.”
Lumi felt helpless.
To secure Himmel Soan’s help, it had to explain everything. But it was still not certain if he would agree. There was hope though.
“The power of time and space?” Himmel Soan was intrigued.
That had something to do with Gina. The power of time and space…
It suddenly occurred to him that the power of time and space was Gina’s specialty. Maybe his portal’s destination changed not because of his excitement but because of Gina!
If what he saw was real, the person he saw was Gina.
Was Gina on Earth?
That person must be Gina, but she wasn’t in the right state of mind. If she had seen him, why would she go all the way to bring him to this world?
The Zimmer family and the spider were all part of Gina’s plan.
What was she up to?
Himmel Soan sighed and wasn’t in a hurry to look for Gina anymore. They would eventually meet again. It couldn’t be rushed.
“I can help you, but under one condition.
“You must tell me everything about the Dusk Soul Forest and its relationship with Stelladom and the other side.”
Himmel Soan finally agreed to help Lumi.
Lumi was thrilled because its plan could finally get going. Its efforts wouldn’t be for nothing.
…
Over on the other side, once the fire phoenix joined in, the tiger soon started losing ground. He was already at a disadvantage when fighting with Yagon. With the addition of the fire phoenix, he was covered with wounds.
The tiger wanted to retreat, but neither Yagon nor Phoe would let him go.
“Yagon, I give in. You win. Please stop.” The tiger surrendered.
“You give in? Do you think that’ll solve everything?” Phoe cut him off. She wouldn’t let the tiger surrender.
He had started his battle, so he had to finish it.
Yagon was prepared to die when he came here. Had he surrendered, would the tiger let him live?
Of course not!
In that case, why should they forgive the tiger?
“I lose! I’ll give you everything you want. You can have all my territories. I don’t want anything! You can take them all!
“I surrender!”
The two-headed tiger seemed to have given up his resistance. If one didn’t know better, one would think Yagon and Phoe were bullying him.
Phoe smirked. “If you’ll give us everything, I’d like to have both of your heads!”
“You!”
“You!!”
The two heads bellowed in unison. They were furious because it was a humiliation. He had said the same thing to Yagon back then, and now, Phoe humiliated him by throwing the words back at him.
No one could stand that. However, the tiger’s life was on the line, so he had to swallow the shame.
“When will this feud end? Why don’t we both take a step back? I’ll stay out of your way, and you’ll stay out of mine.
“Let’s make peace and go our separate ways. How about that?” The two-headed tiger sounded quite sincere, but Yagon and Phoe only found him hypocritic and ridiculous.
No one would believe anything the tiger said now. He had signed his death sentence when he killed the wolf king. If he had killed the wolf king fair and square on the battlefield, things wouldn’t have been like this.
“It’s too late to say anything. You can confess to the wolf king in another world. I think he’ll kill you again over there.”
Immediately after that, the two-headed tiger became a headless one.
