Chapter 256

Suddenly, a huge and magnificent palace seemed to appear in front of it.

The palace is so vast that you can't see the edge at a glance, and the stone pillars in the palace reach straight into the sky, as if they penetrate the heaven and the earth.

At the gate of the palace is a statue of a pair of women looking at each other.

They were back to back, looking at opposite places.

The two female statues look the same, the only difference is that one is sacred and majestic, and the other is evil and treacherous.

"The good and evil gods of Zoroastrianism..."

Yakumo Purple thought of the heads on the strange black pieces of paper. At that time, she thought they were the holy symbols of Zoroastrianism. Now that she saw these two statues, she felt enlightened.

At the gate of the vast palace, Yakumo Purple felt like a tiny ant.

She took a deep breath, moved her beautiful legs wrapped in white stockings under the dark purple dress, and walked into the door step by step.

The palace is very empty, with countless mysterious patterns and portraits carved on the surrounding walls and stone pillars.

Yakumo Zi felt dizzy just after taking a look at it, and she quickly didn't dare to look at it.

In the very center of the palace, a bonfire was burning. The color of the bonfire seemed black, but upon closer inspection, it was colorless. It existed there, but seemed not to exist.

The holy fire burns forever!

"Worship fire..."

At this moment, Yakumo Murasaki was convinced that this was the temple of Zoroastrianism, that is, Zoroastrianism!

Suddenly, Yakumo Purple's expression changed drastically. She suddenly raised her head and looked forward. The next moment, she was completely shocked.

At the end of the temple, there was a throne standing there that reached to the sky.

And above the throne, a shadow like a giant, standing tall and tall, was sitting on the throne.

The shadow's eyes were fixed on Yakumo Purple's body. In just an instant, Yakumo Purple felt her consciousness freeze.

Even thinking is like a corroded bearing that can no longer rotate.

There was a sound like the Big Bang in his mind, galaxies were rotating, everything was annihilated, and black holes were forming.

Just being stared at by that gaze made Yakumo Murasaki seem to see the end of the universe.

Unable to control her body and consciousness, Yakumo Zi's knees softened and she knelt on the ground, covered in sweat. The pain of suffocation made her wish she could die on the spot.

As the terrifying figure withdrew his gaze, Yakumo Purple was finally able to take a few breaths, her breasts rising and falling, and her delicate body trembling.

How terrible! How could there be such a terrifying existence in this world.

Although I have imagined how noble the owner of that strange piece of paper would be.

But when she really saw this great existence, Yakumo Purple still had the fear of almost having a mental breakdown.

"Yakumo Murasaki?"

The extremely majestic figure slowly spoke out, and the sound alone was almost crushing everything, and the shaking Yakumo Purple's mind was in turmoil.

"yes."

Yakumo Zi's snow-white knees knelt on the ground, her plump and graceful body trembling uncontrollably.

Her body was trembling and her lips were trembling. In the face of such a presence, she simply couldn't maintain her past calmness and ease.

She can't lie, and she can't lie. No matter what the being in front of her asks, she will subconsciously tell the truth in her heart.

As for trivial matters such as why the other party knows his name, in Yakumo Purple's opinion, there is no need to wonder.

Yakumo Purple was flustered for a moment, and she began to wonder what such a terrifying existence was trying to do. With its power, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an almighty god.

Yakumo Murasaki's idea is not wrong. As a person with full authority in the field, as long as they leave the Little Garden, there will be no central contract between the two figures.

Then any person with omnipotent domain can be called the almighty Lord God.

After all, these two-digit numbers gained such power after observing themselves in countless universes.

"Since you have opened that contract, it means that 'fate' has bound you to the Holy Fire."

"...Yakumo Murasaki, tell me your wish!"

Xixiang spoke slowly with the spirit of the Mother of Evil Gods.

Not that he had to scare this monster.

The main reason is that Xixiang cannot fully grasp the spirit of the Mother of Evil God, so he cannot restrain his momentum in this Void Temple.

The most Saigo can do is to protect Yakumo Murasaki from being frightened to death by his own aura.

Chapter 108: Yakumo Murasaki: So, what’s the price?

"Our wish..."

Yakumo Murasaki murmured.

Her delicate body was dripping with sweat in that fear, and drops of sweat dripped down her smooth forehead, landing on the smooth, transparent, dark stone slab at her feet.

Countless images flashed through Yakumo Purple's mind.

That's everything a monster in the realm has experienced in his life.

There are sorrows and joys, pains and joys in this life, but for the monsters and sages who have lived for thousands of years, she can face them with ease, without even a single ripple in her heart.

But in the end, the picture in Yakumo Purple's mind was fixed on a forgotten land.

There the sky is blue and the grass is lush.

There are pure lakes shrouded in mist, towering mountains and dense bamboo forests, caves deep underground, butterflies flying after death, and witches who are forever imprisoned in paradise.

That is the place that Yakumo Yukari loves. She doesn't love the people there, but the paradise that belongs to the monsters, which is built by her own dreams.

This is the monster sage Yakumo Yukari. She seems cold and ruthless, but she has great love, but that love is universal love, not love for a certain person.

In his mind, the faces of generations of priestesses flashed, but the priestesses were just the necessary sacrifices for this land.

Even if Yakumo Yukari felt pity for the priestesses, he would still watch them cruelly use their lifelong spiritual power to maintain the existence of the barrier.

Yakumo Yukari couldn't lie in front of this great existence. After a moment of silence, Yakumo Yukari opened her red lips and sighed softly:

"... We just want a piece of soil that can allow monsters to survive. We want the fantasy town we built to exist forever."

When Yakumo Yukari received his invitation letter, Saigo actually observed Yakumo Yukari through the invitation letter.

He knew about Yakumo Yukari's dreams and wishes a long time ago.

That is why Saigo borrowed the Queen of Halloween's sword of Ame-no-Kurokumo in advance, because the ability of the Takamagahara group of gods to give deity to mortals is the key to making Yakumo Yukari's wish come true.

Otherwise, Saigo would pull the Gensokyo established by Yakumo Yukari into the Little Garden, and only a small number of the inhuman things in the Gensokyo would be able to obtain powerful spirituality.

And most of the monsters would just be indistinguishable from the crowd, especially those who are involved in the Takamagahara group of gods, who would disappear when they were observed by the Little Garden the moment they were pulled into the Little Garden.

"Okay, I promise to fulfill your wish."

Saigo, who was looking at Yakumo Yukari as the mother of the evil god, spoke slowly.

"Then, what's the price?"

Yakumo Yukari mustered up her courage, she raised her head and looked at the majestic existence, even if she couldn't see his figure, even if she couldn't see his face clearly.

It was just the pain of reflecting it into her eyes that made Yakumo Yukari almost crazy.

But this time, Yakumo Yukari resisted the retreat and fear in her heart and tried to look straight.

She didn't think she could fulfill her wish without paying any price, that was just a story in a fairy tale.

But Yakumo Yukari didn't believe in fairy tales.

"The price is everything you have!"

Saigo said without any emotion.

"Everything of ours?"

Yakumo Yukari murmured and smiled with relief.

After the millennium, the mystery faded. If this continued, Gensokyo would eventually collapse completely.

And that day would not be too late.

Without the protection of the Great Barrier, the mystery in Gensokyo would also fade, and all the monsters would disappear from the human world.

Perhaps with Yakumo Yukari's strength, her life could last longer, but it would only last longer, and her ending would not change.

Yakumo Yukari was not a selfless person.

If she had to sacrifice herself to save the world, she would rather die with everyone.

But if the one to be saved was her lifelong dream, she was willing to choose to sacrifice.

So after a few seconds of silence, Yakumo Yukari smiled and said, "... Then I agree."

Even if she didn't agree, what would happen? In front of such a terrifying existence, everything she had no longer belonged to her.

Before opening the strange piece of paper, Yakumo Yukari had made all preparations.

Although she didn't know why such an existence wanted to fulfill her wishes, it was good after all since it could be fulfilled.

"Dreams are always out of reach, and dreams are the most moving treasures bestowed by gods to mortals."

Xixiang said in that emotionless and noble voice.

"Yakumo Yukari, the contract is established here, and everything you have will belong to me, whether it is body or soul."

Xixiang's fingers gently tapped the armrest of his throne.

The next moment, Yakumo Yukari was in a trance, the darkness in front of her disappeared, and all the scenery faded.

The midday sun once again reflected in Yakumo Yukari's amethyst-like eyes, causing her to squint slightly.

Looking at the blue sky in front of her and the wet soil under her feet, Yakumo Yukari was a little dazed for a moment, and even began to doubt whether she had just encountered an illusion.

·· ········Please flowers····· ·····

But the sweat dripping from her jade-like body told her that the experience not long ago was not false, so that her body had a natural reaction.

"Mrs. Yukari?"

The slightly sad voice of Lan came from behind Yakumo Yukari.

Zi came back to her senses, she slowly turned her head, looked at the nine-tailed fox standing behind her, and asked softly: "... Lan, what happened just now?"

Yakumo Lan hesitated for a moment and said: "...Mr. Yukari, you just opened that strange piece of paper."

Hearing Yakumo Lan say this, Zi found that the black piece of paper in her hand had disappeared.

"Then, what happened after we opened that piece of paper?"

Yakumo Yukari secretly checked her body.

......... .... 0

In that hallucinatory temple, the great being said that he had signed a contract with her and took away her body and soul.

But Zi did not find any problem with her body and soul, nor did she seem to be imprisoned by some terrible spell, and she did not feel the so-called contract.

Is it because that being is too great that she cannot perceive any power of the other party?

Just as Zi was meditating, Yakumo Blue held his hands in front of him and answered Zi's question with his head slightly lowered: "...The moment you opened that strange piece of paper, your existence seemed to disappear for a moment."

"...But looking back now, I don't know if it was my imagination."

Yakumo Lan's voice was quite doubtful, because she couldn't answer with words what exactly happened just now.

"That's right..."

Yakumo Purple narrowed her eyes slightly.

She had obviously experienced a long time just now, but in Lan's eyes it was only a moment.

So did my soul enter the temple just now, or did my body also enter?

As a monster sage, Yakumo Murasaki is extremely intelligent, and naturally has a common problem among many sages, which is always wanting to explore unknown things.

Although Yakumo Purple also knows that it is not a good thing to detect that kind of existence, she should not think about it.

At this moment, when Yakumo Purple and Lan were silent, a faint male voice came from beside them.

The voice was gentle and calm, with indescribable nobility and confidence: "...Miss Yakumo Murasaki, the contract has been signed. Is this the world you live in?"
