Heaven, Earth, Me

Outside of the trial, Yasenia and the rest were patiently waiting for Andrea. It had been two weeks since Andrea entered that room, and there was no signal that she was going to be done soon. While Yasenia trusted her Darling, she was not someone who would look at things optimistically. Her mind was spinning with many different scenarios, making her feel slightly tense. 

Yasenia sighed, her eyebrows locking together. "Why is she taking so long…?" Looking at her lap, she saw Ebirah. The girl had been okay at first, but suddenly, she started feeling sleepy, and Yasenia lent her her lap. Sadly, Ebirah didn't wake up after that.

The door remained tightly closed, and the dragoness's patience was starting to run thin. To calm her nerves, she passed her hand through Ebirah's soft and fluffy hair, gently combing her pink hair. When her fingers reached the end of the strand, the hair color shifted to a golden hue that prettily fitted with the lobster girl.

Tatyana placed her hands on Yasenia's shoulders and soothingly commented. "The Sun God has already told us that if Andrea fails, those doors will automatically open. I have also looked at the formation, and I confirmed it to be the truth." 

The dragoness exhaled and looked upward, leaning slightly back to see Tatyana's face. "I know. I am just… worried. I knew that the dragon inside would not be easy. But… I didn't expect Andrea to struggle so much."

At her side, Cecile was using her Moon Attribute to create arrows as a form of pastime and energy control activity. She answered Yasenia's worries bluntly. "If she is taking so long, it is a good thing. A Dragon of that stature will naturally not allow themselves to be subjugated easily. Hence, if she is taking long without failing, that means that she is in the process of subjugating that dragon." 

Yasenia sighed, and suddenly, a loud bang was heard. 

Startled, everyone looked over toward the door and saw the double doors open side by side. Yasenia's heart tensed.

From the doors, a very tall woman holding a gorgeous battle halberd walked out, her back as straight as a spear. The heroic woman's dark curly hair dropped down naturally instead of being held in a ponytail like usual. The rebellious hair strands that stuck to her masterpiece of a face added a touch of savageness to her countenance, making everyone stare dazedly for a few seconds.

The Sun God raised his eyebrow and looked at Andrea, his eyes flashing with surprise. "You… succeeded?" 

Andrea looked at the man and stuck the halberd on the ground with a strong stab. Then, she pulled her hair back slowly in a loose ponytail as she answered. "Surprised? I am as surprised as you are. After all, who knew that the trial was something like that."

Andrea looked at the Sun God with an unusually cold stare and smiled. "Forcing a blood contract on me leaves quite a bad after-taste, doesn't it, Sun God? Don't worry, though. I survived."

The Sun God blinked and asked, baffled. "How? Your soul should've been ripped apart trying to do that."

Yasenia heard both sides of the conversation, and her stomach twisted as her heart felt as if it was about to burst into an inferno. Cecile quickly grabbed her hand, and Yasenia turned her head to her. Cecile's heart trembled once when she saw the deep, bright shade of blood-red color swallow her irises. Still, she spoke firmly. "Patience, my love."

Yasenia took a deep breath and looked back at the Sun God, her face turning completely emotionless. For the girls and maids, who understood Yasenia, this expression was much scarier than any angry expression she could make.

Andrea smiled faintly. "Well, it would've been if not for my connection with someone quite close to me." Andrea looked toward Yasenia, and when she did so, her heart skipped a beat. 'Oh Heavens, she is furious.'

The Sun God looked over and saw Yasenia's change in eye color, making him tilt his head. "Hm? Why have your eyes become red?"

Yasenia's lips arched faintly. "Don't worry, Sun God. It happens when I am excited. Andrea has overcome such a difficult challenge, and it is difficult to contain my raw emotions."

The Sun God hummed. "I see. That's a peculiar trait." Looking back at Andrea, he stood up and approached her. Then, being of a similar height, he looked into Andrea's eyes and spoke aloud. "Varion. Are you not going to speak to me?"

The girls were confused for a second until the low and rumbling voice of Vairon echoed in the room. "What's there to say, Sun God? You've trapped me like an animal for who knows how many years to find someone who could inherit the main inheritance your real self placed here. Now, Andrea has achieved it."

Andrea frowned and asked. "Wait, main inheritance?"

Varion asked, confused. "Right. My trial is completely optional. If you overcome the previous two trials, it is already considered overcoming the trials, and part of the inheritance will be given."

The Sun God felt all the gazes falling onto him, and he raised his eyebrow. "What are you looking at? It's not in any place written that I must tell you all the details."

Surprisingly, the Sun God didn't receive any cursing or anger directed at him. He blinked, confused, and looked around as everyone kept their gazes on him. "...Ho~?" He smiled faintly and commented. "You are all very disciplined." He turned toward Andrea and commented. "Here is my inheritance." 

A gorgeous golden jade appeared in front of Andrea, glowing radiantly with the lights of the Sun. It felt as if a mini sun had appeared in the room. The second Andrea touched it; four names flashed in her mind. 

[Unbreakable Sun Core Physique Body Technique]

[Divine Sunvoid Dragon Rider Spiritual Technique]

[Supreme Solar Radiance Soul Technique]

[Profound Dragon Riding Martial Technique] 

"These are…"

The Sun God smiled faintly. "While I did indeed set you up so that I could give that inheritance, it is the strongest inheritance hidden in this place. After all, there is only one Varion. You subjugated it. Now, no one else can do it."

Andrea asked, confused. "Why do all of this? Why would you set me up in this manner?"

The Sun God shook his head. "You wouldn't understand the boredom. The long days of waiting for a new challenger. The nothing of time as I see time pass. The lack of anything…" He sighed, his gaze tired. "I don't know why I wasn't made to go hibernate when there were no challengers."

Everyone in the room paused, feeling a twinge of empathy. They could imagine what torture it was to pass his days like this. However, while they had a pang of sympathy for him, they knew what his fate was bound to be when they saw absolutely no change in Yasenia's facial expressions. 

The dragoness smiled and commented, her tone friendly. "How about we help you get out of here? However, you need to promise me that you'll also liberate the mice if we do that."

The Sun God looked at Yasenia closely and asked, confused. "Why would you help me?" 

Yasenia walked forward and smiled, patting his shoulder as she showed a considerate expression. "Even if you are a Soul Strand, you have emotions. After so many years, you are no different from another cultivator. I feel respect for the Sun God. However, what he did here is wrong."

The Sun God looked into Yasenia's bloody red eyes and felt slightly surprised. He pondered and eventually nodded. "If you really can help me out of here, I'll reward you handsomely."

He looked at the side and waved his hand, allowing a few items to pour down from the ceiling into a small mountain of treasures. He sighed. "Those are rewards that I am allowed to take out in a single time. One per person. They are all profession-related and Low-Level Transcendent Realm." 

All the girls felt their hair standing up, and a chill ran up their spines. It was terrifying that Yasenia could approach, convince, and show such real emotions when she felt none of them. 

They would bet their necks that Yasenia would rip the Sun God's head off if she could. And yet, there she was, standing side by side and earning several dozen treasures of the Sixth Rank for all of them.

Evelyn's lips were smiling and trembling, her eyes having a mix of adoration and awe. 'Thankfully, I am her wife. Thankfully, I am not her enemy. Incredible.'

Yasenia turned and said to all the girls. "Prepare everything! We'll protect the Sun God while he tries to escape, and then we'll escape ourselves!" 

"Understood!"

The Sun God looked at Yasenia's back, and a faint mocking light flashed in his eyes. 'Mortals are so easily convinced. These treasures are some I'll recover once we are outside.'

Meanwhile, Vairon was warning Andrea in her mind. 'Andrea, tell your lover that this is not a joke. The Sun God is not someone she can trust!'

Andrea answered with a smile. 'She knows. Don't worry.'

The Sun God, similar to the Moon Goddess, started a massive ritual that instantly activated the defenses of the trial. However, like the Moon Goddess, after so many years, the Sun God's Soul Strand had gained enough strength to defy those defenses. He just needed Yasenia's group to distract them. 

Andrea was carrying Ebirah during this time, who was slowly waking up. "Hm~? What is happening?"

Andrea looked down and smiled. "Oh? Did you wake up, sleepy princess?"

Eibrah blinked a few times and smiled widely, hugging Andrea's neck. "Hehehe. Andrea! You are back! How did it-"

BOOM!

"Hyah!?"

Ebirah looked around, making a startled sound. "O-Oh! We are fighting! Why didn't you say so!"

Ebirah quickly jumped off Andrea's arms and rushed to help the others. Vairon muttered with an amused smile. "That's my roommate?" 

Andrea laughed. "That's a fun way to say it. However, yes. She is."

Vairon didn't hold back his praise. "She is not bad indeed. She is so young but already has incredible strength."

Andrea saw the surroundings cracking and then saw the Sun God pointing upward. "We are getting out. Be prepared, Vairon."

"Leave it to me."

Yasenia and the rest also saw the ceiling shatter, and then, a powerful suction force swallowed everything. They lost their eyesight for a moment, and then, the appeared outside of the trial.

Yasenia looked sideways and spotted the Sun God taking a deep breath as he looked around. Without a single shred of mercy, Yasenia palmed the ground.

PANG!

The Sun God looked over, confused, and then he saw his surroundings get filled with chains. "What!? [Sun Intent Domain]!"

However, it was too late. Even before he could expand his intent domain, all the chains grabbed his limbs and restricted his soul power. The Sun God glared at Yasenia and growled. "What's the meaning of this!?"

Yasenia slowly raised her head and showed the Sun God a terrifyingly wrathful expression. "This is the consequence of trying to kill MY Darling, trash!"
