Title: Evolution

Gu Yuena observed Violet of her volition before the latter entered her evolutionary state, musing loudly to chat with her master near her. “Are you afraid I would harm your dear disciple? Her talent isn’t as threatening as it seems.”

Ja Sun goggles at the almost peerless woman, dragging the Divine Silver Dragon down from her pedestal under his priestess’ presence, who showed enough curiosity to witness the state of evolution, too. “Talent?” Ja Sun snarks. “I’m not worried about that at all. But women are a mystery to the grandest Sages alive! Who knows what ‘jiggle’ of my disciple rubbed you wrong? You’re hot and all, but Violet has the softest, perkiest, and the largest—”

“Please don’t complete that sentence,” states the fourth party, his ever-loyal, once-scammed secretary, Bi Ji. She adjusts her faux glasses while the corner of Gu Yuena’s lips twitch as Ja Sun shrugs.

“I was going to say, heart,” he surmises under the blank stares of the three women. “She has a big heart. Besides, I want to see her changes firsthand. Maybe I can learn something new? It’s not like I didn’t peek at heavenly mysteries during Xunji’s cultivation.” He grins boorishly, pointing at his glimmering third eye with one of his claws. He settled into his Spirit Transformation to be at his best once he used the Eye of Causality to peek into evolutionary mysteries.

“Ah,” Bo Saixi finally understands. “You mean those weird monsters you summoned.”

Ja Sun nods with a smile.

“It’s surprising to see those monsters mingle with humans so readily. Their culture is different. And most of those monsters grow several times in quality with each evolution—it happens often, too.” Bi Ji sighs. “The prominent examples are the Beedrill Line and the Butterfree Line.”

Gu Yuena exhales, informing the rest, “It won’t continue for long. The descendants of these monsters will eventually adapt to the Laws of our world. I don’t know how their interaction with humans will turn out, but their growth won’t be as quick as their current pace.”

“Not if I can do anything about it,” Ja Sun muses as he watches Violet with a smile. Her expression is calm as she doesn’t hear a single word around her due to the group’s chat occurring through telepathy and compressed voice.

“It’s an arrogant sentiment,” Gu Yuena cautions. She HAS to warn Ja Sun since her fate intertwined with his after her untimely defeat at Bibi Dong’s hands.

“Arrogance will be creating a new method of Heavenly Ascension. Oh, wait. You did that,” Ja Sun snickers as he crosses his arms. Yuena shifts uncomfortably, but her expression betrays no emotion. Her method was always suicidal, but she would have had more confidence if she was heading her plan instead of Ja Sun. Something about leaving her goals in another’s hand unsettled her deeply.

Bo Saixi silently observes the two Demi-Gods while Bi Ji quietly prepares a fruit platter.

“Aw, you didn’t have to,” Ja Sun smiles.

Bi Ji blurts blankly, “You added the precise task of preparing fruit platter alongside other menial duties as one of my core roles.”

Bo Saixi and Yuena feel speechless as Ja Sun picks one pear slice before grinning, “I also remember adding feeding your benevolent Deity ~!”

Bi Ji quietly stares at Ja Sun before he shrugs. “I’m kidding.” She continues staring at him.

“Fine, I may have thought about Yuehua and how she wouldn’t mind feeding me.”

But Bi Ji knows Ja Sun a little too well as she keeps staring.

“And Feng Liu, Zi Ji, Ah-Yin, Bibi Dong, Snow, Bei, Wu, and probably Saixi.” He admits with a roll of his eyes as Bo Saixi gapes. “What? No, I would not!”

“I would persuade you,” Ja Sun nods.

“Doesn’t matter. Why would I feed you?!”

“Because I persuaded you in that event,” Ja Sun blinks as Bi Ji exhales heavily. “Just open your mouth.”

“Hneh hneh~!” Ja Sun snickers as Bi Ji evades Yuena’s and Saixi’s gazes, slowly bringing another slice of fruit to his lips and letting him bite with a wide grin. The sight further bastardizes his image as a tyrant rather than a sage due to his Spirit Transformation giving him a wild air around him, especially his grizzly, silver, and floofy mane.

Time passes as such, with one Ja Sun accompanying Violet, as the other one is hard at work to fulfill Ja Yin’s ambitions. But their speed is slower due to Yuena’s and Violet’s absence. Lan Ruo isn’t as adept in Arrays as others despite her eagerness to take this chance and learn as much as possible.

“Oh,” Ja Sun blinks. “Do you know what Di Tian is up to?” He recalls his chat with the Spirit Beasts in King’s Lair, relaying what he heard. “He up and left the Lair once you settled here. Are you worried?”

Gu Yuena frowns briefly before shaking her head.

“I’m not. Chances are Di Tian is focusing on his cultivation on one of the many unexplored lands.”

Bi Ji’s expression turns slightly complicated before she shakes her head.

She still looks upto Di Tian’s presence, but the thought of it makes her sigh internally. Not that it matters now.

Her thoughts are interrupted by a strange premonition shared by many, making Yuena whisper, “It’s happening.”

Ja Sun trains his senses on Violet. His third eye flashes a strange glimmer as his ninth Spirit Ring blooms behind him like a dark maroon moon, tinting the once homely room in a dreadful glint.

Bo Saixi raises her attention, too. She didn’t witness a Spirit Beast’s evolution since Xiao Bai grew to her current form years before the priestess’ birth.

“Are you alright?” Bi Ji gasps loudly instead of a compressed voice, attracting everyone’s attention as the other two discover Ja Sun’s third eye as bloodshot as his ninth Spirit Ring with blood dripping down from the lower corner of his vertical eye, sliding down the bridge of his nose as he stares beyond Violet, his gaze unraveling the minimal layers of the large ‘blanket’ that Heaven is—“Just dandy.” He grins, gritting his jaw as pain doesn’t bother him anyway.

Violet hears a soft, compelling whisper.

“Would you walk the human’s life anew or retain your powerful flesh?”

She opens her eyes in surprise. Bi Ji and Snow told her about their experience, so Violet felt ready, but nothing could prepare her for the ‘thing’ ahead.

Her purple hues stare at a soft golden globe in a world of white.

A gentle voice appears from the globe, repeating, “Would you walk the human’s life anew or retain your powerful flesh?”

Violet’s eyes look around, wondering where the sudden source of information entered her head. After all, she suddenly learned the consequences of her choices in detail! The result of her path cut before becoming a God and the potential of the human race for cultivation.

“Do you love humans more than Spirit Beasts?” Violet inquires, already apprised that she CAN talk with the globe of mysterious energy.

“It’s the trend of the era,” replies the gentle voice. “There will come a day when the wheel turns, and the Human Race will experience your choices.”

“You will give the Humans an option to turn into Spirit Beasts?” Violet squeaks in surprise.

“They will likely engineer that option themselves,” the voice softly muses.

Violet grows silent as the voice initiates a question.

“Do you wish to prolong this trance so that your master can learn more about this process?”

The voice catches Violet by surprise as Ja Sun indeed mentioned it would be great IF Violet had the option to do so.

She gulps as she starts feeling her heartbeat skyrocket under a mysterious pressure despite it being as gentle as a shower of rain.

“Are you aware every second accumulates more injuries upon your master?” The voice hums. “Your master is still very mortal despite what he might say. And injuries to the soul, even the special kind as his, aren’t so treatable. Your Master experienced it twice already.”

Violet bites her bottom lip worriedly, recalling Ja Sun’s state as an unintelligible slime.

“I choose my flesh,” the Lamia musters with clenched fists. “I choose to remain what I am.”

“A fine choice as any,” the voice replies warmly. “May you survive the Tribulations, Gorgon.”

Violet blinks at the mention of her… new species.

Darkness takes over her as Violet feels nothing but warmth, as if she is where she is destined to be!
