There are tis I found myself stopping two people from fighting. Kiana and Sirin, Seele and Veliona, Cerydra and Hysilens… I was able to stop the first two myself. The ntal battle shenanigans between the two, especially Kiana’s and Sirin’s, were a pain to deal with. As for Cerydra and Hysilens, I managed to make them reconcile indirectly through Cyrene. I gave her so visions and vague instructions which got the two into working together.
Compared to these three, the conflict between i and Queen i seems lighter. It was sothing that stemd out of their disagreents… of i’s fanatical outbursts every now and then.
The ‘grudge’ between Kiana and Sirin was clearly laid out. The sa went for Veliona’s reprimands to Seele’s hesitations and indirectness. Cowardice, per se. As for i and Queen i, it seems like it ca from the forr’s “yandere” side or sorts. That is sothing I have never seen for myself, which is why I am at a loss on how to act. I need to know the entire picture before forming any judgent.
This ti, I chose to show my tough side. I put up a serious look and asked:
“I don’t want to see you two fight again. Understand?”
“Mhm!”
Surprisingly, i agreed first. She nodded thrice as she looked straight to my eyes. From her, I felt that familiar sticky and lovesick look.
“As long as she does not attack first…”
Queen i put up with a bit of reluctance. Only then did I undo the restrictions I imposed to the two. The Vortex of Genesis dissipated like fine dust, reverting our surroundings back to the desolate mountain filled with scorched soil. The influence of All Creation upon the two are undone at this instant, allowing them to land gracefully to the ground.
I was about to speak when I sensed the arrival of several familiar auras outside the formation. I looked at them with a wry smile, and then to the two is.
“Let’s sort things out with others for now.”

As Shi Tian had imagined, the five-second clash between the two triggered a large chain reaction. The formations within satellite planets and the main planets activated to block its aftermath. Though nothing significant was damaged—even the Sun was fine—it prompted the majority of the active cultivators to check on it.
Hiko and Theresa, who had just experienced an awkward ti with Shi Tian, were forced to co to the epicenter of the clash. Then ca Senti, Sushang, and Vita. Even Wendy and Anna ca. Finally, there were Shi Tian’s six official wives.
The mont Theresa glanced upon Kiana, she swiftly moved her gaze away like soone who committed a mistake.
“Do you regret what happened that night?” Hiko asked.
“..!” She jolted for a second before regaining her bearing. “No. Why would I? It’s just that… we haven’t had a proper talk together.”
Despite the fact that Kiana seed open about Theresa wanting to join their “team”, she still could not shake off the guilt in her heart. It felt like she was stealing Shi Tian away from her niece.
Seeing her serious and thoughtful look, Hiko no longer put up with the jokes. She remained silent as she scanned surroundings along with others. Unsurprisingly, they found traces of thunder. It wasn’t a simple thunder elent as they contained other elents with them. These thunders are combined with the ten elents as well as other special ones such as “Void” and “Life”.
Everyone was familiar with the Dao cultivated by each other after several centuries of acquaintance. These traces ca from the Dao of Tumultuous Tribulation cultivated by the two i’s!
A trace of frown appeared on Kiana’s face. She was the one who broke the two off back when they fought on the Moon. Though she did not say it, she felt helpless at their actions.
‘At least they never ca closer to what we had back then…’
Their situation reminded Kiana of the things she went through with Sirin… and Shi Tian. Sirin completely denied their existence at that ti. She almost killed Shi Tian if it wasn’t for his good set of skills. Even when she fought Kiana inside the sealed ntal landscape, she sought to kill. All Sirin had in her eyes was revenge. She wanted to make humanity pay back all of her sufferings.
Compared to that level of seriousness, the two i’s conflicts seem less. But it is precisely because of it that Kiana felt a sense of responsibility to bring them back together. She does not want anyone to experience what she did.
With a thought, the power of the Cocoon acted out. Kiana saw everything that had recently happened in her surroundings. When she saw Shi Tian appear, she realized things must have been settled already. The lack of far-reaching impacts after that five-second clash proved it.
“It’s over.” She said before looking towards Theresa. “Aunt, can you handle the Federation’s side?”
“...Mn.”
Theresa did not speak another word and flew towards Earth.
“I will go and help her.”
After bidding farewell to everyone, Hiko followed behind Theresa’s trail. The rest dispersed one after another. Shi Tian’s wives, who are very familiar with each other, went off to settle their own tasks. Only Kiana remained along with the trio—Senti, Sushang, and Vita.
“Too bad I didn’t see it for myself. Sister i’s Dao is very sharp when it cos to true combat.”
The mont Senti let out these words, Sushang looked at her with interest.
“It’s that good?”
Funnily enough, she did not wait for Senti to respond. She took a trace of the lingering Dao in their surroundings. Her fingertips guided these remnants into forming larger arcs of lightning.
“It’s very difficult to remove. It gnaws away on life itself… lifespan reduction…”
Seeing Sushang enter her hyperactive state, Senti let out a tired look.
“I won’t be able to go ho early. I still have a ga of landlord to settle with the old tir!”
“You’ll lose anyway. Spares yourself the trouble, haha!”
A familiar androgynous voice ca out of the mask attached on Vita’s waist. THEIR mocking words caused Senti’s right eye to twitch out of anger.
“Give that to , Vita. Let be the one to seal its mouth shut!”
Unexpectedly, Vita wore a face of looking forward to sothing. She easily handed over the mask to Senti. Kiana saw the actions of the trio.
‘How chaotic…’
Just in case, she readied herself to utilize her power. Who knows when Senti crashes out and repeats the sa spectacle as the two i’s?
Her star-like irises stared at the Cave Heaven isolated by the formation, her gaze peering straight to the other ‘spectacle’ inside. When Shi Tian noticed her stalking gaze, he asked:
“Are you a stalker too..?”
“As your wife, I have a right to watch over your whereabouts!”
“...”
Once again, he understood why one concedes to their wife… at tis.
