Chapter 129: Meeting of Deities
Lei Chen's gaze calmly swept over the seemingly ordinary valley below. Lush with greenery and babbling brooks, it blended seamlessly with the surrounding environment. Had he not been the Plane Master, intimately aware of every energy fluctuation within his domain, he might have found it difficult to detect the hidden wonders of this place.
This was the Qiankun Valley of Questioning Love, a strange place formed under the influence of the God of Love's lingering divine sense and laws. In the original timeline, it had witnessed the trials of love and the joys and sorrows of many troubled couples.
At this moment, however, in Lei Chen's perception, the valley was more like an exquisite cocoon, isolating a wisp of stubborn divine sense from the outside world.
His gaze eventually fixed on the center of the valley. To an ordinary person, that space looked no different from its surroundings, but in his "vision," he could see an extremely subtle golden light membrane, almost integrated with space itself, rippling slowly like water. Behind it lay the spatial interlayer where the God of Love's wisp of divine sense was hidden.
Lei Chen was in no hurry to act. He stood suspended in the air with his hands behind his back, the colorful light of the plane naturally flowing around him, casting a slightly blurred reflection upon the valley.
Facing that spatial interlayer, his voice was peaceful yet possessed an unquestionable penetrating power, echoing directly in every corner of that secret space:
"Your Excellency God of Love, I am the Plane Master, Lei Chen. I have taken the liberty of visiting today; I wonder if Your Excellency is willing to meet?"
As the true ruler of this world, Lei Chen could naturally clearly perceive that the weak but resilient wisp of the God of Love's divine sense was hiding behind that spatial membrane.
In fact, with his current late-stage First-level God cultivation and his authority as the Plane Master, if he truly wanted to force his way in, he could ignore this spatial barrier and descend directly inside with just a thought. However, he did not choose to do so.
For this ancient deity who once held divine authority but had now fallen to such a state, he was willing to grant a basic level of respect. This respect stemmed both from the composure brought by his strength and from a slight sigh for the past glory of an ancient existence.
A breeze brushed through the valley, swaying the grass and trees in silence. Lei Chen's question seemed to have vanished like a stone dropped into the ocean, receiving no immediate response. The fluctuations of the divine sense behind the spatial interlayer remained restrained and quiet, as if it were truly just an unconscious remnant soul.
Lei Chen was not anxious and simply waited quietly, his face showing no sign of irritation. He believed that the God of Love was by no means truly oblivious; she must be able to hear him and must be weighing her options.
Sure enough, after a brief, almost stagnant silence, a female divine sense—somewhat cold and detached, yet unable to hide its inherently soft nature—slowly transmitted from the spatial interlayer like a trickling stream, sounding directly in Lei Chen's mind:
"Plane Master... this is your place to begin with. If you want to come, then come. Why bother asking me?"
The moment the words fell, the ordinary space in the center of the valley seemed to be gently torn open by an invisible pair of hands, and a soft golden light door quietly emerged.
The edges of the light door were radiant, and the scene inside was hazy, emitting a dense aura of the Law of Emotion and a sense of vicissitude that had endured through the ages.
This was the passage leading to the dwelling of the God of Love's divine sense; she had finally "opened the door for a guest."
Seeing this, a faint curve couldn't help but form at the corner of Lei Chen's mouth.
This God of Love was not entirely tactless. He no longer hesitated and took a step forward, his figure merging into the light door as silently as a reflection in water.
The moment he passed through the light door, the surrounding scenery changed instantly.
This was a bizarre space constructed entirely of golden light. It was boundless, yet gave off a warm and enclosed feeling. Soft golden radiance permeated everywhere; it wasn't dazzling, but rather carried a warmth that soothed the soul.
The air seemed to emit a faint floral fragrance and an indescribable sweetness, a phenomenon formed by the materialization of highly concentrated Law of Emotion.
Evidently, because this wisp of the God of Love's divine sense had resided here for tens of thousands of years, her divine power had long since thoroughly permeated this spatial interlayer, turning it into a shadow of her own "Divine Kingdom." Though small, it remained gorgeous, maintaining the final dignity and loneliness of a deity.
Lei Chen's gaze skipped over this golden world without lingering. The moment he entered, his vision accurately locked onto the very center of the space.
There was no physical entity there, but rather a mass of golden energy that constantly shifted its form and emitted a soft glow.
It would sometimes condense into the blurred, graceful silhouette of a woman, and at other times disperse into golden points of light that danced in the air like threads of love, repeating in a cycle.
A weak yet incredibly pure fluctuation of divinity, containing thousands of emotions such as joy, sadness, longing, and determination, was slowly radiating from this mass of energy.
This was the last wisp of Origin Divine Sense left in the world by the God of Love. Its state was even more fragile than Lei Chen had anticipated, as if it could completely dissipate into nothingness at any moment.
While Lei Chen was observing this wisp of divine sense, the golden energy mass fluctuated slightly, and the God of Love's cold voice sounded in his consciousness again, carrying a hint of imperceptible fatigue and wariness:
"The Plane Master has graced me with his presence. I wonder what business brings you here? If it is merely to inspect your domain, you have seen it now. This broken place of mine should not be worthy of Your Excellency's notice."
Lei Chen did not take offense at the God of Love's stand-offish attitude. He still wore that peaceful smile, looking at the golden divine sense with a gentle gaze. His voice slowed, carrying a reassuring power, like a casual chat between friends, yet containing a deeper meaning:
"Your Excellency God of Love, you overstate things. This plane is indeed my home, and as you are staying here, you are my guest."
"Since Your Excellency has resided here for tens of thousands of years, and I, as the host, have never come to visit, it has been quite rude of me. I have come today, firstly, to fulfill my duties as a host and see if Your Excellency has any needs. If it is within my power, I will certainly not stand idly by."
His words were sincere, playing the role of a "hospitable host" perfectly. He made no mention of sensitive topics like God Positions or inheritances, speaking only of care and assistance.
However, the God of Love's divine sense didn't seem to buy it. The mass of golden energy trembled slightly, transmitting a thought filled with self-deprecation and even deeper detachment:
"Thank you for your kindness, Plane Master. But I am already a remnant soul, merely lingering on until now. I have no other desires and lack nothing. Being able to find shelter here is already a blessing. If Your Excellency has no other business, please do as you wish and do not waste any more effort on a dead person like me." The smile on Lei Chen's face remained unchanged, but his eyes deepened. He took a slight step forward, and the peaceful aura naturally emanating from him seemed to make the golden space even brighter. He stopped beating around the bush; his voice remained gentle, but the content of his words was like a massive boulder thrown into a calm lake, striking directly at the core:
"Your Excellency God of Love, why keep people at such a distance?"
He paused, his gaze seemingly penetrating that mass of golden energy to see the loneliness and obsession hidden deep within for tens of thousands of years:
"For these tens of thousands of years, Your Excellency has relied solely on this wisp of divine sense, living in this tiny corner of the world, watching the changes of the world and the succession of generations outside, yet always remaining aloof and untainted by karma."
"Do you... truly wish to remain silent like this until this wisp of divine sense is finally exhausted and returns completely to nothingness?"
Without waiting for the God of Love's response, Lei Chen's voice suddenly became clear and full of temptation, as if he were painting a picture within reach:
"The universe is vast, and life is wonderfully diverse, far beyond what this small corner can encompass. Your Excellency was once a First-rank Deity who held the Law of Emotion and witnessed the most brilliant feelings in the world. Are you truly willing to let all of that become an eternal part of the past?"
"If Your Excellency is willing," Lei Chen's eyes burned with intensity, his tone filled with unquestionable confidence and power, as if stating an established fact, "I can help you repair your divine sense, regather your divine soul, and even... reconstruct your divine body, allowing you to truly return to life, regain your authority, and ascend to your God Position once more!"
