Chapter 798 - The Demon Empress\'s Daughter
However, in the end, Tak-si was still the more dominant half between the two realm spirits, so the little girl had no way of winning against it.
"Hmph! I won\'t talk to you anymore!"
The little girl eventually gave up and disappeared, allowing Tak-si to assume his full spiritual form—the form of a handsome male.
"Haiz…" Tak-si sighed.
"Are you willing to explain what\'s going on now, Tak-si? Who was that little girl? And why is the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s body here?" Leon questioned the realm spirit.
He could see the Eternal Night Demon Empress lying inside the black coffin without approaching it by using his divine sense.
Much of her body was seemingly scorched and corrupted by dark energy, making most of her body look black like charcoal.
Despite that, it couldn\'t hide that she was also a peerless beauty and powerhouse of her time.
More importantly, he noticed that she was also a dark fae.
Leon furrowed his brows thoughtfully.
When Tak-si saw Leon start frowning, it immediately panicked, thinking that Leon was growing impatient for not answering his question right away.
"Y-yes, Master! The little girl you saw was indeed the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s daughter," Tak-si answered.
"So it\'s true," Leon raised an eyebrow before asking further, "But how did the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s daughter become a realm spirit like you?"
"It\'s even more surprising that the Eternal Night Demon Empress had a daughter, let alone survive to this age instead of being the first to die to the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor\'s scheme."
"You\'ve hidden a lot of information from me, Tak-si. I\'m disappointed in you," he added.
"I deeply apologize, Master," Tak-si apologized.
"But it as you have seen, the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s daughter and I share one body of existence; I cannot completely disregard her wishes, and I also owe a debt of gratitude to the Eternal Night Demon Empress."
"Oh?" Leon uttered with an intrigued look.
"You, the Radiant Heaven Realmship, owe a debt of gratitude to the Eternal Night Demon Empress? Interest. Why don\'t you tell me more about it."
"Yes, Master," Tak-si complied.
"I mentioned before that the Eternal Night Demon Empress was trapped in the Radian Heaven Realmship under the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor\'s scheme. But what you didn\'t know is that the Eternal Night Demon Empress was extremely strong, much more powerful than the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor himself."
"As a true descendent of a Devil from the primordial era, her strength was not inferior to a Half-step True Divinity—if it wasn\'t for the fact that she was pregnant, she could have broken free from the confinement of this world."
"And what does that have to do with your debt of gratitude?" Aria joined the conversation.
"I never mentioned where the Eternal Night Demon Empress was confined specifically, did I, Master? It was here, in the main-circuit building."
"…What?" Leon was dumbfounded.
However, the realm spirit expected such a reaction as anyone would have the same thought—that being: did Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor get kicked in the head?
"The main-circuit building might contain the more important components of the Radiant Heaven Realmship, but because of that, the building\'s defense is also extremely sturdy—even sturdier than my outer shell."
"And yet such a building is in ruins?" Aria questioned with doubt.
"Ah, yes, that\'s exactly right. Of course, it would take the Eternal Night Demon Empress time to break out under normal circumstances. But if she self-detonated her inner world, it would generate enough power to slay even a True Divinity," Tak-si answered her doubts.
"But how did the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor trick the Eternal Night Demon Empress into the main-circuit building?" Aria asked further.
"As the most vulnerable location of the Radiant Heaven Realmship, it was the best place to set their meeting and gain the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s trust in the truce talk, and because of that, the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor was also the first to die."
"Such is the end for a fool who overestimated his own abilities; even I don\'t know where the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor\'s remains after the detonation of the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s inner world—if there\'s still anything left, that is."
"For someone who was your previous owner, you sure have a way to talk about him," Leon smiled amusedly.
"The moment he tried to sacrifice me in his attempt to take out the demons in one fell swoop, he was no longer my owner."
"I figured."
The realm spirit\'s reply came as no surprise to Leon.
Even if it was a spirit born from the accumulation of power and faith on a Divine Artifact, it was still an intelligent being capable of thoughts and emotions.
"I suppose your debt of gratitude is related to the Eternal Night Demon Empress sparing your life?" Leon guessed.
"Yes, Master. In order to protect her daughter, who was just a fetus in her womb, and guarantee her survival, the Eternal Night Demon Empress transported her daughter from her womb into my heart."
"I was wondering how the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s daughter survived this whole time, but to think Eternal Night Demon Empress was capable of performing such a feat…" Leon muttered to himself.
"Given such means, she could have completely replaced you as the realm spirit of the Radiant Heaven Realmship…"
"And I am grateful that she chose not to, Master. Instead, she chose to merge our spirits and allow the both of us to co-exist," Tak-si stated with a sincere look of gratitude as it recalled the event.
"No wonder you seem to treat the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s daughter as a little ancestor," Leon said jokingly.
At the same time, Tak-si\'s appearance quickly deformed as if the little girl wanted to break out and retort him.
Although the little girl had long disappeared, she was still aware of everything since they shared the same source of existence—that being the realm spirit of the Radiant Heaven Realmship.
"Looks like the little ancestor is throwing a tantrum," Leon chuckled.
After hearing Leon continue to tease her, the little girl became even angrier. Even so, she couldn\'t come out due to Tak-si\'s interference.
"Please don\'t make it any more difficult for me, Master," Tak-si said ruefully.
"Hold on… Something doesn\'t add up in the story," Aria suddenly interjected after noticing something.
