The Fox Goddess - Chapter 401 Core
“Let’s not talk about useless things anymore. Mirel, if you want to celebrate Lian’s ascension to the throne you can. I will help you if you want, I have a lot of connections all around Mystic Dragon Heaven, but I don’t think my help would be needed if you want to invite people because I can guarantee you that they will come to your doorsteps. Who wouldn’t want to have a good relationship with the Ruler of this Heaven? Plus, this is your last day here before you die, so enjoy it.” Yuki said as she stood up with a glass of wine in her hands, she wanted to toast Vantil’s departure as it was her way to say goodbye and a way of respect to him. Though if he doesn’t have any connection to her, she would have just ignored him, but since there was a little of a connection since he was her Mother’s childhood friend, this is the best thing she could give to him, and she thinks that it was already enough.
Vantil was quite shocked whe he heard what Yuki just said and hearing it, he doesn’t know how he should react. He couldn’t even tell if she was being genuine about what she said about him, he then took a look at Ayame to get some help about the matter, but she was in the same condition as him, she was also confused about what Yuki just said. Knowing that he wouldn’t get any help from Ayame, he took the matter into his own hands and directly asked Yuki.
“Are you trying to quicken my death?” Vantil asked but he soon will realize that he will regret asking Yuki that kind of question.
“If I said no, will you believe me?” Yuki asked with a light smile as she began to have toast with everyone. There was no need to ask any more questions because it was already clear to everyone what was the answer. Her reasoning for saying that was very simple, she just wants Vantil to leave immediately right now because of his strength. Even if his current Spirit body only has a fraction of his actual powers, it was still too powerful for everyone to handle, the Aura that his body was releasing was quite a burden to them. So for all of the, they were feeling some pain, even if it was bearable, they wouldn’t be able to handle it in such a long time, if it was just a few minutes of them standing under the Aura, they should be fine. But because they are already been under the Aura for some quite time not, it started to take a toll on their body.
Especially the three little girls, they were the ones who were suffering the most. They were the ones who were suffering the most because of their young age, their body was still not powerful enough even if they trained hard, but that is truly causing them to feel more pain than anyone because of their relatively weak mind. Though out of the three, Yumie was a little bit better because she has a stronger mind than everyone, and it was all thanks to her Mother’s help.
“I see, but you don’t have to worry about me, Yuki… In 10 minutes I will disappear, my Mana that is supporting this body is already running out.” Vantil said with a sad smile, he wished that he has more time especially now that the woman he loves the most is single again, at least that is what he thought. With only a minute left in this world, he didn’t want to leave without any regret, he will not confess everything that he was keeping for half a Billion Years.
“Ayame, Serene… This is the last time we will see each other again, and if I’m going to die today, I don’t want to die with regrets. Ayame… I just want you to know that I love you, not as a friend, but as a woman. You are the only woman that I ever loved in my whole life, you don’t need to worry though. I am not telling you this to let you feel guilty about me, but I just don’t want to leave without me saying what I have wanted to tell you for a long time now. Lastly… Serene, I hope you can take care of Ayame for me, well… i But t looks like I don’t need to say it though because I can already see what kind of relationship you guys have. I’m counting on you to take care of her.” Vantil smiled gratefully. As if a weight of rock has been lifted in his chest, he felt so much better now. He no longer felt depressed about leaving with regrets because now he has said everything he wanted to say, but he was still not done. Vantil then turned to his little successor and smiled.
“I am counting on you to take care of this place. I don’t consider this place as just a place for me to go, I treat it as my own child. So please, take good care of it, because now it is your turn to do so.” Vantil smiled as he then took something out of his chest. It was a golden orb with black lines that were constantly moving all around the golden orb. No one knows what Vantil just took not, not even Serene or Ayame because the orb that he took out was very special. But there was one person who recognized the orb, and that was Yuki because she has the same thing as her, but there was a clear difference between them. What Vantil was holding was the Core of the Mystic Dragon Heaven, and since it is the Core of the Heaven, there is also a Spirit inside of it.
Vantil said nothing more as she placed the golden orb in Lian’s hand with a gentle smile hanging on his face, he can count this moment as his proudest time. Because he has finally found someone capable of leading Heaven. He only chuckled when he saw the confusion of everyone in the room, but not everyone is capable of knowing what it was, but before he could even explain it, Yuki asked a question that made his whole body shake.
“I’m assuming that is the Core of the Mystic Dragon Heaven right, Vantil?” Yuki asked and casually waited for an answer from Vantil, but little does she know that he was too shocked to even answer her question.
“Wait… Yuki, did you just say that this Golden Orb is the Core of the Mystic Dragon Heaven?” Ayame was astonished when she heard Yuki’s question just a few moments ago. But Lian was the one who was affected the most by Yuki’s question. At first, she thought that the Golden Orb in her hand was nothing but a Treasure Storage just like a Spatial Ring, it was undoubtedly a priceless treasure but she didn’t think much of it. But when she heard Yuki’s voice, she felt that she was holding the entire Heaven, it suddenly felt much heavier than before. She then hold it in her hands as if she was afraid of it dropping.
“Yes, Mother are you not familiar with this? For sure that you have already seen the Core of a Galaxy or a Universe right?” Yuki asked with clear confusion, now it was her turn to be confused because she didn’t think that even her Mother doesn’t know what it was.
“Of course, I know what a Galaxy and Universe Core looks like, it looks something like this.” Ayame brings out her own Galaxy Core which was the Starry River Galaxy that she governs on the Celestial Star Heaven. Yuki then took a closer look at it and found that the Core that was in her hands was very different because the Galaxy Core that was in Ayame’s hand was not an orb, but a shard. Her Mother then took out a Galaxy Core to let her daughter see the difference, the Universe was just a larger shard from the Galaxy Core, that was its only clear difference and of course the amount of power that was inside.
This revelation then made Yuki think, was the one that she is holding a Universe Core? But it didn’t take long for her to realize that she was mistaken, what she was holding was not a Universe Core, but the Core of the Mortal Realm. This also proved her theory about Space, there was only one Universe in the Mortal Realm.
“Well… The reason that I know what it is, is because I have something similar.” Yuki said casually as she took out the Core of the Mortal Realm from her Spatial Ring and toss it to her Mother so casually like she was just throwing some rocks.
“You- is this the Core of the Mortal Realm?” Ayame asked with a bit of uncertainty, but as she looks at the orb in her hand and the orb that Lian was holding the more she finds that the two are very similar. Making her assumptions correct that the orb that she was holding was in fact the Core of the Mortal Realm.
“Yeah, it is… Oh, my bad. Looks like I forgot to tell you that I am the current Goddess of the Mortal Realm now.” Yuki said as if she was shocked, but from her emotionless expression, no one could really tell if she was shocked or not. This made Ayame baffled and so as Serene and Vantil, all of them then turned towards the previous Gods of the Mortal Realm to get their confirmation if what Yuki just said was true. And as they expected all of them nodded in agreement.
“Almighty Beast Goddess, what Yuki had just said is the truth. She is now the Goddess of the Mortal Realm. It happened when she destroyed the entirety of the Mortal Realm and re-created it through the Core. If you don’t believe us, you can ask her to make a Portal to the Mortal Realm right now.” Lucifer explained to them with a tone full of respect as she didn’t want to make an enemy of the three. But just as she finished her sentence, they heard Yuki snap her fingers and a Portal opened up right directly in front of them.

“No need, does this serve as good proof to all of you?” Yuki asked lightly as she closes up the portal and stared at everyone.
“I can’t believe that you own the Mortal Realm. Yuki, you have done something that can make all of the Gods in the Celestial Star Heaven to be jealous of you. But how did you even get it, I mean the Mortal Realm was previously governed by the Primordial Gods, right? And they have tasked these Gods to take care of it.” Serene asked, all of them than anticipated for Yuki to answer, but her answer only made them even more speechless.
“Lucifer already explained it. I destroyed the entire Mortal Realm and re-created it with my own powers. As for the Primordial Gods, let’s just say that it is their compensation because of what they did to me.” Yuki smiled mysteriously, but behind that smile, everyone could feel the coldness in it. This made them think, about what kind of power Yuki had to bend the rules that the Primordial Gods have set up. But it was already clear that she was not going to tell them anything more, though they were disappointed by it, they can’t do anything about it.
What they don’t know was that Yuki was lying about the Primordial Gods compensating her with that kind of reward as in reality they just let it pass since they think that Yuki will still not get any higher. Plus she was just a mortal who was nothing but a grain of sand in their eyes. Plus, Yuki has every right to be the new Goddess which every Primordial God have agreed on, so they just give the position to Yuki since they would not lose anything since they can just create another World like the Mortal Realm easily.
