Chapter 134: God Position Inheritance!
After an unknown period of silence due to Zhang Lexuan's stubborn reply, the golden energy mass finally rippled once more.
The clear, cool voice of the Goddess of Love sounded again, but this time, the emotions within it were complex and hard to define. There was less of that condescending judgment and more of an ineffable sense of inquiry, even... carrying a trace of a waver she herself had not noticed.
"You... don't want to forget?" The divine thought of the Goddess of Love seemed to be carefully chewing over these words. "Do you truly believe you can... bear this pain forever?"
Her voice rose slightly, carrying an urgency that sought to awaken one lost, yet it seemed somewhat powerless against the other's rock-solid resolve:
"You speak so lightly now only because you haven't yet felt the depth of the pain!"
"In the future, when the torment of unrequited love, like a slow poison, erodes your heart and soul day after day, sinking you deeper and deeper, forcing you to watch helplessly as the one you love finds harmony with another, while you remain forever an outsider... that agony will be a thousand, a hundredfold greater than today! By then, the heartbreak will be piercing, and regret will come too late!"
The Goddess of Love's words were like a cold prophecy, attempting to paint a picture of a hopeless future. She "stared" intently at Zhang Lexuan, as if trying to see every tremor in the deepest recesses of her soul:
"Zhang Lexuan, are you truly certain... you can endure this pain of unrequited love forever? Without ever regretting it?"
This final question was no longer simple doubt, but more like a direct interrogation of the heart, a test of the limits of belief.
Faced with this questioning that felt like a judgment from fate, Zhang Lexuan slowly raised her head.
The confusion and anguish from before were gone from her face, replaced by a clarity and firmness forged through countless trials. In her clear, autumn-water-like eyes, sparks seemed to ignite, growing brighter and brighter, ultimately transforming into an unshakable light of conviction.
The Goddess of Love's earlier words had stripped away all possibilities of self-deception, pushing her to the cliff edge of choice. Instead, this had allowed her to see clearly the truest, most undeniable answer within her own heart.
"I am certain."
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Lexuan's voice was clear and firm, like the chime of jade striking jade, echoing within the golden space.
Facing the golden energy representing the Goddess of Love's will, she spoke word by word, each one ringing with conviction:
"Compared to the hollow ease that comes after forgetting, I would rather choose to remember and bear this pain. Even if this pain follows me like a shadow, enduring forever, my heart will never change because of it, not even a fraction."
She paused slightly, her gaze seeming to pierce through time and space, seeing that figure she was destined never to walk beside. The corner of her lips actually lifted into a faint, yet profoundly serene curve:
"Because this love has long since become a part of my life. To deny it is to deny the path I myself have walked. Pain may be the price of imperfection, but remembrance is my proof that I chose to love... and still choose to love."
"Good! Well said, 'forever'! Well said, 'will never change'!"
As soon as Zhang Lexuan's words fell, the clear, cool voice of the Goddess of Love suddenly rang out. This time, there was no more annoyance, no more doubt. Instead, it carried a relieved laughter, as if a burden of countless ages had been lifted.
The laughter was light at first, then gradually grew, reverberating within this golden space. It held an indescribably complex emotion—reflection, gratification, and even a trace of... release.
"Since you believe you can 'forever' endure the pain of unrequited love, since you have made your choice and are willing to bear all consequences..." The divine thought of the Goddess of Love became ethereal and elusive. "Then, Zhang Lexuan, I shall grant you your wish!"
Hum—!
The moment her words ended, the golden energy mass representing the Goddess of Love's final Sea of Consciousness and origin suddenly erupted with a radiance of unprecedented brilliance!
The light was not blinding, but incredibly pure and warm, as if containing all the truths and blessings of 'love' in the universe. It instantly illuminated the entire spatial interlayer, even penetrating the thin spatial membrane, faintly reflecting onto the valley outside.
Beneath the illumination of this magnificent divine light, the golden energy that had been flowing slowly like a background throughout the space suddenly seemed infused with life and will. It boiled and surged with activity!
Whoosh—
Like rivers reversing their course or a hundred streams returning to the sea, the golden radiance permeating the space—formed from the purest Law of Emotion and the divine power of the Goddess of Love—as if summoned by a supreme call, surged from all directions toward Zhang Lexuan standing calmly at the center!
Countless fine golden light points, dense as threads of emotion, converged into visible, dazzling rivers of light. With a warm humming sound, they vied to pour into Zhang Lexuan's body.
At first, Zhang Lexuan only felt enveloped by an indescribably warm current, as if soaking in gentle sunlight.
But soon, as more and more golden energy poured in, that warm current became scalding hot, like molten magma. Yet, strangely, it did not harm her in the slightest. Instead, it began to wash over her limbs and bones, cleanse her Meridians and soul core, and soak into the very origin of her soul.
Her body involuntarily trembled slightly, not from pain, but from the stirring of her life level undergoing a heaven-shaking, earth-overturning transformation.
She could clearly feel her Martial Soul, Soul Power, mental force, and even her perception of emotions in the world undergoing a qualitative change at an astonishing speed.
A vast tide of information, ancient insights into laws, flooded into her Sea of Consciousness like a tidal wave.
She instinctively closed her eyes, focusing all her efforts on guiding and accepting this surging power of inheritance. The eight Soul Ring around her body manifested spontaneously, but they were no longer their original colors. Dyed by the golden divine light, their edges began to show faint golden patterns, and the forms of the Soul Ring themselves became more solid and complex.
Seeing this scene, Lei Chen, who had been silently observing from the side, finally allowed a genuine, somewhat emotional smile to curve his lips.
'It's done...' he thought to himself.
This Goddess of Love, with her tangled thoughts and repeatedly shifting attitude, had been far more troublesome to deal with than other God Positions.
Now, she had finally been moved by the unwavering conviction of her chosen inheritor and had actively initiated the inheritance.
This meant the Douluo Plane was about to welcome the return of its fourth First-rank Deity. The foundation of the plane's origin would once again receive a tremendous enhancement.
Just as Lei Chen was inwardly sighing over this 'difficulty,' the inheritance process continued, reaching its climax.
The original source of divine consciousness of the Goddess of Love, which had first erupted with dazzling light, after releasing the guiding torrent of energy, itself began to grow illusory and transparent. Finally, it transformed into the last, purest stream of golden light. Like a young swallow returning to its nest, it gently yet firmly merged completely into the space between Zhang Lexuan's eyebrows!
When this final wisp of golden light, representing the will of the ancient Goddess of Love, entered Zhang Lexuan's body, this spatial interlayer, steeped in the Goddess of Love's divine power for tens of thousands of years, seemed to instantly lose all color and warmth.
The flowing golden radiance around completely vanished. The pervasive warmth, floral fragrance, and sweet scent also dissipated. The space returned to its most primitive emptiness and gray darkness. Only Zhang Lexuan remained, quietly suspended at the center, enveloped by a massive, dark-golden light cocoon composed of countless emotional law runes, undergoing her final fusion and transformation.
