The World Of Demons And Gods

As the speeding train that seemingly penetrating an invisible wall of winds, it created a whistling sound inside the cabins, this speed exceeds Cyrus' expectation when he finally noticed how fast the train passed mountains in seconds.

Cyrus, while leaning his head on his hands while on the side of the window looking into the outside world, as he saw green plains and sky-high mountains, he couldn't help but daydream as he asked himself.

'What I'm supposed to do?'

With a sigh, he leaves that question behind his head as he stared at his hand, "Right, it's time to check the things that mother gave me." As soon as he said that, Lynae seems to hear his mutters and a wooden box appeared on his hands which kinda startle Cyrus.

"Oh thanks."

With a smile, he held the box with excitement because not only this box looked simple and literally a wooden box, the feeling it gave to Cyrus was complete mysteriousness, he couldn't help to hold his breath as he touched the lid of the box before slowly opening it.

Once he opened the box, what first appeared is a cloth covering the things inside, and above that cloth, it has a piece of paper.

A letter?

Nope! It's a note!

Cyrus took the note and read silently the contents of the note.

(Dear, before you could infuse these pills to your body, ensure that the area around you is clear and away from things that would bother and distract you. Because once these pills started infusing your body your consciousness would enter to semi-coma it's due to the fact that those pills would take hours to complete infusing to your blood and body and once you get distracted your profound veins would malfunction and cause to explode… Be careful. -Your hot smoking Mother :P)

After reading it, Cyrus couldn't help to smile, "I will mother…"

He took the cloth off and saw that the content inside the box was a bottle, the size of a perfume bottle, however, this one is a porcelain one with a cork. As soon as he touched it, he finally felt the strange aura radiating from it, he couldn't help to exclaim inside.

What's this? It's soothing to the feeling, yet it feels powerful and heavy!

Really weird.

"I'll use this later once I found a suitable place to infuse these pills." He covered the bottle once again with the cloth and put it back inside the box and put the lid on before asking Lynae to take it. When the box turned into particles and dissipated into the air, Cyrus leaned his back on the couch and looked outside the window.

"It was said that it'll take a whole day to arrive in the Alexandra kingdom, with this speed that penetrating the speed of sound, that kingdom seems really far away despite the two kingdoms are just bordering each other."

"Oh well, I guess I'll visit the girls first!"

Cyrus steadied his sit and calm down his breathing, soon, his consciousness drifted inside his dantian.

"Aaaah!! Don't touch me you vile woman!"

"Oh come on, I just wanted to have a hug."

When Cyrus appeared on his dantian, again, what he had heard is a scream of the little girl Lynae on the ground while kicking Lily's face with her soft and dainty feet, while Lily, on the other hand, was trying to reach Lynae face despite being kicked on the face making her face distorted.

Seeing this scene, Cyrus couldn't help to sigh helplessly before walking towards the two.

Sensing his presence, Lynae quickly turned her head at Cyrus with her eyes covered in tears and with a pleading tone mixed with a scream, she shouted.

"Master help meee! Remove this vile woman away from meee!"

"Oh come on Lynae, why must hate me when I'm only your onee-chan"

"Bah! Who would want you to be Onee-chan?!"

"But-but, I love you~"

"WELL, I HATE YOU!"

…

Stopping these two took a lot of effort before finally calming down, unfortunately for Lynae she gave in and fortunately for Lily she's finally hugging Lynae with her face brightly shining with warmth. Lynae's eyes were wet as she pouts while letting the vile woman hugged her entire being with Lily's head over her head.

While the two are rocking back and forth, Lily glanced at Cyrus.

"So, what's up?" Lily asked.

"Nothing really, I got really bored back there I felt like I needed to talk to someone to satisfy my boredom and seeing the two of you being lively like that makes me happy." Cyrus smiled as he sat on the floor.

Hearing this startled the two, but they couldn't help to smile, even the pouting Lynae had her eyes glistening while staring at Cyrus, she sweetly giggled and meekly smiled. She was happy that she could bring something for Cyrus.

"So…"

The three started chatting happily, sometimes the area around them would bring laughter, joy, and warmth, and most importantly screamings of Lynae.

…

...

...….

After long hours of talking, Lynae fell asleep on Lily's embrace. Seeing this, the two smiled before putting Lynae lie down comfortably on the floor while her head on Lily's l.a.p. C.a.r.e.s.sing softly the face of the little girl, Lynae softly smiled,

"Despite being thousand years old, she's still a kid."

"Hahaha, right?" Cyrus softly laughs while looking on Lynae's sleeping face.

Fixing Lynae's hair, Lily noticed the tattoo on the forehead of Lynae, thinking about it, she looked at Cyrus,

"Did you find anything about your Yin-Yang tattoo?"

Hearing this, Cyrus shook his head with a sigh,

"Unfortunately, nothing for now. The existence itself is a complete mystery, in fact, I don't know where to start."

"Well, to understand its mysteries, we should start first on asking, what is a Yin-yang? Got me?" Lily hinted while pointing her finger on Cyrus' c.h.e.s.t.

"Yeah… As far as I know, in simple definition, Yin is negative energy which can be destruction, femininity, darkness, and cold. While Yang is positive energy which can be creation, masculinity, light, and warm or hot." Cyrus casually thought to himself as he mutters these thoughts that are loud enough to be heard by Lily.

Lily nodded, "Right. Your powers are all yang energy, even your very own cultivation technique generate Yang essence because not only fire element is your strongest and suitable element for you, it also affects your own appearance as well. This might be a wild guess, but do you know what I'm guessing for the reason why your tattoo is abruptly activating and s.u.c.k.i.n.g a huge amount of anima on the surrounding?"

Cyrus suddenly went tensed after realizing the words that Lily pointed out.

"D-don't tell me…!"

"Right! What you lack is Yin essence!"

Yes! What Cyrus lack is Yin essence. Cyrus doesn't generate a single bit of Yin energy from his body because he is a man, not only that, his cultivation technique 'the heavenly sun cultivation technique' which generates Yang energy which also complements the Yang tattoo! Since he doesn't produce yin energy, then his tattoo which full of Yang energy and no Yin energy to balance it out then it is no wonder his tattoo would run wild! His Yin-yang tattoo is unbalanced!

"I remember also when you have told me that the reason why you're half crippled because your tattoo absorbed lightning essence right?"

"Y-yeah"

"Lightning itself is both Yin and Yang energy, that's why it makes it special element! However, 60% of lightning is Yin energy because the destruction energy of yin overwhelms the creation! And the kind of lightning that struck you is not simple lightning but heavenly lightning which is rich and pure! Your entire Yin tattoo is not only hungry for yin essence, but it's also eating low-quality Yin essence in the nature around you when it's forcing itself to suck when rampaging!" Lily explained as she continued,

"Did you notice that the energy seemed to be divided into two energies? Like 40% is pouring to your dantian while the other remaining percent is directed to another direction?"

Once again, after hearing what Lily has said, Cyrus was startled before nodding in confirmation.

That's right! As far as Cyrus could remember he saw that scene when he was cultivating, he was shocked to see a gush of lightning essence directly coming towards his dantian and the gush of energy is divided to two! The other is being s.u.c.k.e.d by strange vortex!

Which mean, that divided energy is Yin and Yang energy! The yang energy is directly strengthening his body and enabling his dormant lightning ability, while the yin energy is directly supplementing the hungry yin tattoo!

Realizing things now, and the more he thought about the more it makes sense!

"No wonder things are strange!" Cyrus stood up and he couldn't help it. He was feeling tensed and he was full of sweat.

Seeing his reaction, Lily nodded before continuing to talk to Cyrus seriously.

"Now that we all know the problem it's causing, now we should think of a solution."

Before Lily could think, she noticed that Cyrus seemed to smile.

"You have ideas?"

"Yeah! I think it'll be the easiest one!"
