Chapter 113 was passed down: Xuan Yue and General Lei Dian were fighting.
As the saying goes, since we're already here, so…
"In the end, I still have to go find Lei Movie..." Xuan Yue said with distress.
After discussing it with Yae no Miko, the group decided that he and Gensei would try to persuade Ying, while Sora would follow Yae no Miko for the "Anti-Lightning General Special Training".
Xuanqing hadn't uttered a word since he left the house, and he showed no sign of coming to his senses now.
"Xuanqing... Aqing... Big Iceberg!" Xuan Yue called Xuanqing several times before she snapped him out of his daze: "Hmm... what's wrong?"
Xuan Yue: "I've called you several times, what are you thinking about?"
Xuan Qing glanced at him but said nothing. He walked silently forward, descending the steps one by one, petals fluttering in the air, making him appear somewhat ethereal…
"Ah Yue, if back then... I really did disappear completely, what would you do..." He stopped walking, but did not turn around, as if waiting for the questioner's answer.
"..." This was a heavy topic, one he never wanted to discuss or bring up, but the person below was still waiting for an answer, so he finally spoke: "What kind of answer do you want..."
He seemed to say nothing, yet he said everything.
Xuan Qing chuckled softly, then said, "Let's go... to 'Tenshukaku,' she's there." He then opened a spatial tunnel and stepped inside.
"Here he comes." He sensed that Xuan Qing had become strange, but... he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with her.
……
The "Thunder General," who was meditating in the castle tower, sensed the spatial turbulence and opened her eyes. She saw Xuanqing and Xuanyue emerge from the space one after the other and stand in front of her.
"Who are you?"
Xuan Qing remained silent, while Xuan Yue carefully examined the "puppet" general that the Eightfold Divine Child had mentioned.
"It really is exactly the same. I have to say that Lei's filmmaking skills are too amazing?" Xuan Yue couldn't help but exclaim. This Thunder General is completely like a real person, and he even carries the pressure of a demon god.
"You—are outsiders!" General Thunder had already drawn his naginata and was slashing at them.
"Xuan Qing!" Xuan Yue pushed Xuan Qing away immediately. His right hand, Shao Yang, had already appeared and blocked the attack from General Lei Dian.
The impact of the attack forced both of them back several steps. General Thunder frowned; this was the first time anyone had been able to withstand her attack.
"You too are variables in 'Eternity'!" General Raiden was getting serious. Purple lightning surged on the naginata, and a lightning element several times more terrifying than before churned in this small space.
"Withdraw." The cold voice was not noticeable in the room filled with surging lightning elements, but that one word caused all the elemental power to dissipate in an instant.
"Aqing!"
Xuan Yue looked at the person who had made the move, but Xuan Qing didn't look at him. After withdrawing the energy in her hand, she turned to "General Thunder" and said, "Let her out. We need to talk to her."
General Thunder: ...
Xuan Yue immediately rushed to Xuan Qing's side, drew her sword and shielded him behind her to prevent General Lei Dian from launching another sudden attack.
"It's you all... It's been a long time." A voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the room, sounding very similar to that of General Thunder, but General Thunder did not speak. The owner of this voice clearly appeared to be Lei Yingdian from "Ichishin no Pure Land".
Xuanqing: "We want to talk to you about something."
“…Then come in and talk.” Lei Yingdong said, pulling Xuan Qing into the Pure Land of One Heart. Xuan Yue was stunned for a moment. Where was his A Qing?! Why wasn’t he pulled in?!
"Hmm..." General Raiden looked at Xuan Yue, who hadn't been pulled into the "Pure Land of One Heart," without saying a word. Although he was also puzzled, he didn't attack. He just quietly watched him for a while, then shifted his gaze to review the documents submitted by the shogunate.
As far as she was concerned, since she had tacitly agreed, a temporary truce was acceptable; she awaited further instructions. Xuan Yue, on the other hand, found an open space to sit down. As the saying goes, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Since the other side hadn't indicated any further intention to attack, it was best for him to wait for Xuan Qing's message.
Xuan Qing opened his eyes in a dizzying moment. The sun here was a lifeless black, the sky was an oppressive blood red, and the ground beneath his feet presented a scene of ruins.
"Is this your inner world...?" Xuan Qing didn't turn around; he knew the person was right behind him.
"...Sister, Kitsune-no-Miya, Torachiyo, Sasa-Yuri...now it's just me. If it's the Divine Child who sent you to change my mind, then please leave." Lei Yingdong spoke indifferently, just like this pure land, devoid of any vitality.
Xuan Qing turned to look at the current Thor: "How can you be sure that your pursuit of 'eternity' is correct?"
Thunder Movie:…
This side is empty—
Paimon was overjoyed to see Kong finish training: "That was quite a workout..."
Kong was quite smug: "Nothing special."
"Speaking of which, Divine Child, why do you know so much about General Raiden?" Paimon asked the Divine Child, who was nodding in satisfaction beside him.
"Eh, you're asking me?" The divine child feigned surprise, as if she hadn't expected them to ask this question. "Perhaps because... I am a 'Familiar of the Thunder God.'"
Paimon (⊙▽⊙): "Eh! Like the relationship between Dvalin and Barbatos? I really didn't see that coming..."
The Divine Child was amused by Paimon's expression: "Hehe, so it sounds like you're more interested in my 'Miss Fox' appearance?"
Kong's eyes lit up instantly: "I want to see..."
Divine Child: "Dream on."
Paimon and Sora were momentarily disappointed, but the Divine Child was not the kind of woman who would soften her heart at the slightest grievance.
"The strange thing isn't my appearance, but that I no longer see her, isn't it?" The divine child seemed to sense something and explained to them, "The 'eternal kingdom' was our shared dream, but I don't believe it means complete 'stillness'."
"From a certain point onward, she embarked on a path that became increasingly difficult for me to follow. She didn't say goodbye before entering the 'Pure Land of One Heart.' Perhaps it was wishful thinking; I think it was also her way of ensuring friendship lasted forever."
"Without saying goodbye or seeing each other again, our relationship will remain unchanged from back then, at least that's what she thinks." The disappointment in the goddess's voice was still evident, no matter how well she hid it, she was still very regretful inside.
Kong couldn't help but comfort him, saying, "Perhaps it's just wishful thinking on the part of General Lei Dian."
"Now that we've embarked on two completely different paths to eternity, I can either maintain the status quo or choose to bring her back on track at any cost..." The divine child instantly felt a surge of fighting spirit, regaining his energy: "I choose the latter because... if entering the 'Pure Land of One Heart' is her stubborn pursuit of eternity... then pulling her out of her own world is my way of fulfilling my duty as an [Eternal Familiar]."
Paimon couldn't help but applaud the goddess's words: "Miss Goddess... is a very good friend."
"Heh, I'm only informing you of this to make it easier for you to understand my plan. Don't get too cocky, okay?" Yae no Miko's tone naturally carried a hint of arrogance: "Alright, that's enough chatting. It's time for the second phase of the 'Anti-Lightning General Training'."
Paimon, Empty: "So there was more!"
The divine child said matter-of-factly, "Don't forget, if you get hit by the general's 'Unthinkable Strike,' you're completely doomed. Hurry up and get back to training!"
