The World Of Demons And Gods

...

Seeing his beautiful mother, Cyrus' heart feel extremely warm right now, he did not know why but right now, he felt that he was happy to see her.

It was like a... feeling of remembering someone very important.

"..."

Inside of Cyrus imaginations, a vague shadow of a woman, a tall woman had pressed his cheeks as she giggled sweetly and that voice made his heart happy and comfortable.

"..."

Cyrus was dazed, but soon it was broken when Shane's voice rang out, "Hey? Are you okay?" Seeing that his son had a dazed look on his face, Shane immediately inquired if something is wrong.

Hearing this, Cyrus immediately shook his head throwing those imaginations away as he replied to his mother while wryly smiling, "I'm fine, mother."

Cyrus walked towards his mother before sitting next right at her, Shane smiled at him, "Want some tea?" she asked.

Cyrus quickly nods his head, as he wants to taste a tea for the first time here in this world. Shane smiled as she stood up and took another teacup and placed it on Cyrus front.

Soon, she slowly lifted the teapot and poured the tea into the teacup slowly, "We will be leaving soon... So prepare your things later okay?" She said, and as soon the teacup completely filled up, she puts the fragrant teapot back at the table before sitting comfortably next to her son.

"Okay, mother." Cyrus took a small cube of sugar and dipped it on his tea before stirring it with a spoon.

*Sip~*

"..."

"..."

The two are both quiet and awkward as they are silently drinking their tea. Both of them could not help to get a sweat despite the hotness of the tea did not affect them completely.

It was not that they do not want to talk something, it was just awkward, and both of the two does not actually know what to say or what to talk about.

[Cyrus, how about asking your mother about from her past?] Lily's voice suddenly rang out from Cyrus nervous mind that startled him.

My mother's past?

Realizing things, Cyrus nodded as he was extremely intrigued to find out what his mother's past is.

Cyrus stared at his mother as he asked, "Mother, could you tell me about your past?"

Startled by his sudden question and a deep topic at top of that, Shane could not help to know what and how Cyrus thinks. Because right now, Cyrus is being too m.a.t.u.r.e for his age right now.

He does not always have a bratty attitude as he always fakes it when he does, his perception in this life, to oneself, and to others is extremely keen that a.d.u.l.ts could do and his version is extremely refined and clearer than anyone I know.

It seems my son is really an early bloomer...

Shane thoughts of this as she was baffled at Cyrus, however, she was also thinking if it is fine telling her own past story to his son.

However, thinking that Cyrus could easily read things in disguise, hiding things at him right now would not work at him, he had also learned that what they do is killing... However, he did not pay attention much to it as if he had understood their situations.

Remembering things, Shane could not believe for her son is actually very amazing at such a young age...

I guess telling and revealing things at him would not change anything... right?

Shane thought to herself as she made up her mind. She stared at Cyrus with a smile on her face as she nodded, "Okay, so it's all about me huh." Shane dryly laughed.

However, before she could start, her face turned to frown as she was thinking of dark memories.

...

On the grassy valley and high mountains of unknown lands, there is once a huge kingdom and sect build inside and outside of the mountain valleys, this place was extremely prosperous and people are living well happily.

People are helping one another, no discrimination against weak people, and no kind of people that would oppress someone just to gain a dominance.

It was like a haven for most people due to its peace.

This sect and the kingdom is controlled by one king and his seven wives who equally share's love and passion to one another, each concubine had a single child, and from the fourth wife, she had a single female child.

Her name is Adriana Shane Le Celine.

She was a princess of the kingdom and the second princess on top of that. Among her siblings, she was the most talented among them all! That is why her father, the king had doted her so much.

There is one time where Princess Shane is with her father in the imperial gardens as both of them are exchanging facts about cultivation to help and guide Princess Shane to advance her cultivation.

As both father and daughter are happy together, this happiness did not last as the Princess had blurted something that changed everything and changed the course of her life.

"Father, do you love mother the most? hehe."

Whatever the sound she made, cute or not, this question had startled the king. Soon, the smile on King's face turned into a frown, stood up, and left the place leaving Princess Shane and her question unanswered.

"Father..." Princess Shane uttered silently with a bitter look on her small face, the flowers that she had been playing on her hands a while ago had left on her hands as it was carried away by the gust of winds.

Years had passed; Princess Shane grew up into a beautiful woman as she was already seventeen years old. Many princes and geniuses from other kingdoms and sect had tried to woo and court her.

However, the princess refused their offers as for she is not interested in love, her heart was cold and solid as a block of diamond that could not be penetrated by arrows of love.

She had grown powerful due to her talent, she had defeated all the strong geniuses on the kingdom, many people had adored her, and soon jealousy from her siblings rose.

The relationship between her and her father had grown cold, as Princess Shane refused to meet with her father and her father, on the other hand, are trying her to have a forced marriage to other powerful kingdoms, not as a wife, but as a concubine.

This made Princess Shane felt disgusted for her father for the first time, which enrages her.

As time goes by, the pressure that the king had made to her continued to rise, until one day, her mother, the one whom she loved the most had grown weak and sick.

"Mother, bear with me!" Shane cried as she held her mother's hand, she asked for help from her siblings, they didn't help or do anything, she asked for help from her six aunts and her step-mothers, however, they became deaf to her pleading as they seem to enjoy her sufferings.

Lastly, she asked her father as she begged to heal her mother's unique illness that could not be cured by simple means... However, what her father, the king had told her, had not only shocked her but also had shattered her mind.

...

"Father! I beg you please help my mother! I'll do whatever you want; I will agree to anything!" Shane begged as her voice rang out throughout the palace, she even kneeled, no, she even kowtowed to her father!

Seeing her pathetic appearance, her siblings, and stepmothers could not help to laugh and giggle in silence as they watched the poor princess.

With a cold gaze of his father, his eyes stared at Shane's face, before to her body. Soon, the king gave a cold sneer as he coldly replied,

"You'll do anything? Alright."

Hearing this, Princess Shane's body quivered as she felt something's weird, at first, she was happy because her father agreed, however, she felt that there is something's wrong.

"My daughter, you've grown beautiful. Much beautiful than your mother, ah~ the beauty of yours could make the heaven caused an upheaval... I will heal your mother, however in one condition. You'll give me a head here and right now." The king spoke as he licked his lips.

Hearing and seeing his lecherous condition and gaze, Shane's eyes contracted as she feels that this request is outrageous and unbelievable!

"Nonsense! Father, I am your daughter!" Shane retorted as she quickly stood up.

"Nonsense you say? Moreover, what about if you are my daughter? I even made your mother i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.ed."

H-huh? What?

"W-what are you trying to say!?" Shane stuttered,

"Simple, with precise and sharp mind you have it should be easy for you to understand."

"Y-you're saying-" Shane's body quivered.

"Yes, that's right! Your mother is my real daughter! And gave birth to you as my granddaughter!" The king stood up from his throne as he roared in laughter, he waved his hand's right hand as he said that.

Your mother is my daughter...

You are my granddaughter...

W-what the hell is this?

Shane's mind echoed those words that her father revealed, and soon she started to remember when she had asked her father if she loved her mother before weirdly leaving her behind and left unanswered.

So, my father, no the king did not really love my mother from the beginning, he just felt affectionate due to her beauty and... And...

The pressure that had been built upon her mind could not accept the absurdness of the reality. To her, the world had shattered the rationality of the people and their morality is twisted.

"I-I see, so that's the reason..." Princes Shane snickered in pain as she tightly gripped her hands as it quivered due to her frustration, her anger, has reached the highest state and what she could feel right now...

Is Rage!!!

*BANG!*

Before Princess Shane could take an action, the huge doors of the throne hall had been barged open by the guards as they quickly kneeled in front of the king as they entered.

"Forgive our rudeness! The fourth Madame want's to meet with Princess Shane immediately!" One of the guards shouted as he saluted and kneeled on the two royals.

Without giving a chance for her father to speak up, she used all of the strength and suddenly vanished in front of everyone in a single flash!

When the king had noticed that Shane is gone, he stared coldly at his concubines and children, "Prepare for thousands of guards and soldiers... Ready yourselves as the fall of the kingdom will fall upon us." he coldly uttered this throne that shocked everyone in a panic!

The king sat on his throne before closing his eyes once again.

...

...

...

"Mother!" Shane suddenly appeared next to her bedridden mother, Shane's anxious face stiffened when she saw what her mother looked like.

Her mother's face seemed withering slowly, flakes of dry skins appeared all over her body; her eyes were glowing in violet yet dark light. While on her forehead, there is a single crescent symbol glowing in brightness, her hair had turned white, and some are shredding apart from her head.

Her dying state had caused Shane to grief because she knew, at this moment; her mother could not be saved now.

Once her mother finally noticed her, she gave a faint smile to her daughter in difficulty.

"My beautiful... daughter..."

"Mother... I'm sorry I couldn't heal you..." Shane cried as she kneeled onto the floor next to her mother, as she softly held her mother is withering hands.

Seeing her crying daughter, her mother smiled as she felt that she was lucky to have a loving daughter and crying before her death, it just gave her a warmth and feel of being loved.

"Shane... I have important things... to say to you... I will pass down to you the complete and final cultivation I prepared for you... It's extremely evil art that could devour one's heart... It was an art that had been made from trillions of years ago created by our ancestor... The Ancestral God." Shane's mother faintly. She slowly lifted her hands and touched Shane's forehead.

"Dear... Break all your cultivation and discard everything from the start... I'll pass everything to you... don't worry..."

Without hesitation, Shane nodded her head as she quickly breaks and severed all her cultivation technique, her meridians, and her dantian before destroying it everything.

With a smile on her face, Shane's mother flowed the remaining strength that she had to her beautiful and strong daughter.

Soon, the room was filled with bright violet and silver light, the aura that it radiates was beyond mortal beings could do and understand.

However, this brightness slowly dissipated until everything went quiet and calm.

When Shane opened her eyes, the fingers of her mother that had been touching her forehead suddenly fell back to the bed.

She looked at her mother and her appearance was something couldn't be uttered by her mouth, "De...ar... be...care..ful...nd...than..k..you." This is the last words that her mother could utter.

Soon, the light on her eyes had slowly dissipated, her breathing had stopped, and her domineering aura had also dissipated on the air, the way she looked right now, is like a mortal on its death.

"Mother..." Shane held her mother's hand tightly as she released all the grief, sorrow, and sadness that she had as she cried and cried... soon, her tears turned red, as blood started to become her tears.

It was at this moment…

The fall of the kingdom... is about to begin...
