Book 8: Chapter 156: 112 (1)

Lilith froze.

“What did you just say?”

“How about it? Do you want it?”

“This… How do you even know this was my wish? There could be a million reasons why I want to go the Sapientia Auction. And, it’s very much possible that I simply don’t have enough talent to sense celestial qi.”

“Don’t be ridiculous.” Dyon laughed. “If you really can’t sense celestial qi, then I’ll cut off my other arm for you. Do you think you can deceive my eyes? You can comprehend comet qi, but not celestial qi, the far easier of the two?”

“You…”

“You think I’m unaware? I’m the one who healed your soul, remember? Something it seems I might have to do again.” Dyon shook his head.

Lilith’s eyebrow twitched. ‘He’s … annoyed… I’m the one being taken advantage of … but he’s the one who’s annoyed …’

“Plus, the Sapientia have been advertising their big-ticket items for the longest of times, why else would everyone be so excited about the auction to the point of even your quadrant being drawn in?

“On top of that, I can see that while devil qi makes your qi far denser and your bodies much stronger, it has a negative affect on your soul. It makes it even more obvious what you want your Sovereign Spark to do.”

Everyone was aware that the difference between taking the sovereign spark before the celestial realm and after was like night and day. Oddly enough, this only referred to one’s energy cultivation, not your soul or body. This was because the Sovereign Spark, even if it could be used to amplify one’s soul, was a fundamentally energy type treasure, therefore its highest potential was seen before celestial qi was comprehended.

Some might choose to fuse their spark with their meridians, that would make their ability to manipulate and use energy skyrocket. However, Lilith wanted to take an unconventional path and fuse it with her soul instead. She had the utmost confidence in her talent, but her soul would begin to hold her back in the future. This spark was her solution.

It was likely that others would find this ridiculous, though. She wasn’t even 30 years old yet and she was already creeping to the limits of comet qi. Such speed was unheard of, especially considering how wildly the martial world reacted to Ri becoming a Comet Lord. But, Lilith knew herself better than anyone else.

If she took the spark into the very soul so many neglected through their cultivation path, she would take a massive leap forward. In order to foster that growth, her own father had gone through many troubles to get this opportunity for her. But then … Dyon ruined it.

Maybe that was another reason she was so angry with Dyon. The devil path people had invested so much all for her to get this spark, but Dyon and his Sacharro Clan ruined it all.

She dreamed for years of growing strong enough to cut Dyon down. It was an unhealthy infatuation so great that often times she lost focus of her own aims. There was one time her resolve almost broke down to the point of attempting to sense celestial qi. Had that happened, it would have all been for naught…

Yet, seemingly every day, there would be some piece of new information about Dyon.

‘Oh look, True God Sacharro’s Corner finally opened’, ‘Did you hear? True God Sacharro reappeared and cleared the celestial doors without lifting a finger’, ‘True God Sacharro took over the Enigmatic Sect’s territory all alone!’, ‘Amazing! I hear True God Sacharro killed all four Scions of the Golden Crow Sect with just a single punch each!’, ‘True God Sacharro lit Low Gold City ablaze, they’re calling it the Day of the Black Sun!’, ‘True God Sacharro faced four armies alone and actually won!’, ‘True God Sacharo…’, ‘True God S…’, ‘True G….’.

It was infuriating.

She herself had no real grasp of why she felt this way. It was just anger. And if she was honest with herself… It wasn’t anger toward Dyon…

All those years ago when she came to The Cathedral, as much as she painted Dyon as the villain in her mind, she was aware of who the true villains were… her and her fellow allies and clansmen… They became the very devils everyone believed them to be, that everyone hated them for being…

The truth was that Lilith had no idea about Soul Market until she came to Soul Planet. But, that didn’t change the fact she did nothing to stop it once she found out.

She did nothing. In fact, she even tried to impede an individual who did try to do something, and in her attempt to kill Dyon, she ended up nearly mortally wounded.

And yet, what happened after that? Dyon all but ignored her, it was to the point that she wasn’t even worthy of his anger.

Then she watched as Dyon was accused of rape. Then she witnessed him being beaten half to death. She sat and did nothing as he was violently castrated before the eyes of everyone.

He endured all of that, even the greatest humiliation a man could ever suffer, all for the sake of saving individuals he had never met in his life time, individuals who would have never been in that situation had it not been for her and her people.

Yet, he continued to ignore her. In fact, even when her naked body was before his eyes, he treated her like nothing more than an insignificant rock in his path.

It reminded too much of those years… Those years before her talent awoke in full force… Those years she spent swimming through the endless sea of her father’s many children without a place for herself.

Except this time… She deserved to be ignored.
