Feicui Long puts the egg inside the ring he made in his first life, which Isabella now possesses, since it can perfectly host life, so during the trip he has nothing to worry about. Also, with the improved version of his fragmented formation, not even a beast at the peak of the mystical realm could do anything to them, not to mention that now with part of his blood recovered, plus his title, plus supreme divine authority of the dragon clan, and Isabella with her awakened bloodline and the supreme divine authority of the beast clan.
Feicui Long and Isabella travel calmly for a day or two, enjoying each other in every sense, from their company, to their love, and even their burning passion and lust, especially now that they are alone.
This calm continues until one day... in the middle of the trip, while driving the carriage, his eyes activate, the black dragon pupil that looks like a crack appears, and with it, on each side, two parts, each like an endless sea, emerge: to the right, an emerald sea, to the left, an amethyst sea. Soon the golden clock hands rise from the center of the pupil, and along with them, some symbols that clearly are numbers appear on the edge of the iris.
With this, a new vision has begun...
…
Feicui Long is next to Isabella, alongside Gloria, Mariane and the others, riding their mounts. They must hurry; a large number of enemies are about to invade the Skylion barony.
The message has arrived, but even if they try, the distance is still 7 days of travel. However, now with their improved strength and their new mounts, thanks to that they are able to shorten it to three days.
Isabella is worried they won't make it, but in the end they manage to arrive on time. However, the situation does not look good. Their enemy has 15,000 troops, including demons, monsters, undead, and even some elementals and a few energy beasts.
While the Skylion family has only 5,500, plus 500 mercenaries, adventurers, and hunters, along with the two thousand golems and undead that he and Mariane have, they barely reach 8,000. On top of that, they don't have a fortress in this area, so it will have to be a pitched battle, since the one they had was lost due to the treacherous attack from what was then the viscounty of Krötenheim, which currently is a county with the territory it stole from the Skylion family by treachery, but which was destroyed by this legion of enemies since they neglected the maintenance of the fortress.
If they had the fortress, all of them could fight and win with some peace of mind, since after the changes in the family, the army has jumped in power. Now there are many earthly palaces, hundreds of earthly masters, several earthly commanders and a few regents, along with Feicui Long and the others who also are in this realm. Defending would not have been so difficult, but now they have to do it on open ground, worst of all, an open field, as the only obstacle was that fortress. From the county of Krötenheim to here, it is all farmland and clear terrain.
The inevitable begins. The enemy charges toward them. The Skylion family remains in their defensive positions. This does not mean they are surrendering; on the contrary, they want the charge to be absorbed by the infantry line. Mortals are weaker than the other races. For example, to fight an energy beast of the same grade and cultivation realm, they normally need between 5 and 10 people. In a clash like this, it would be worse for them. That's why it is vital to let the enemy charge hurt itself.
Everything explodes suddenly. A horde of monsters and demons crashes against the halberds of the Skylion family. Although several enemies die in the impact alone, the collision almost disorganizes the lines. Demons are not stupid, they quickly reorganize and try to surround. From here, the real battle begins...
After 30 minutes of intense combat, everyone is fighting back to back. Blows fly, energy waves explode, energy shots, tremors, the sounds of techniques and abilities being unleashed alike, while the blood of mortals, humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, beastmen, among others, mixes with the blood of demons, monsters, the essence of the undead, and the elementals.
Feicui Long, Isabella, and Mariane must face, alongside Cecilia, Johan, Gabriela, and the commander of the Sky Lion Guard, the enemy leaders. In their respective duels, the powerful waves of energy of their confrontations can be felt.
Meanwhile, the twins, the sparkling draconic purple eagle, Surinbit and Kagetsume, take advantage of moments of confusion to strike. Everything seems to be going well, but it's just that, a very beautiful illusion...
Because soon more elite enemies join the battles of the strongest ones on the mortal races' side. What were once somewhat even fights turn one-sided... that boosts the enemy's morale, while that of the mortals drops. The battle slowly and painfully shifts to the opposite side.
But when the demonic legions bring out the demonic cannons, that is when the final nail in the coffin is driven. The Skylion family does not have enough money to afford energy cannons or even other high-powered energy weapons, but their enemy does. This turns everything around, and the numbers begin to fall very quickly.
To that is added the inevitable: the fall of the leaders outnumbered and at a disadvantage. First falls the commander of the guard, then Gabriela, Johan, Cecilia… finally Isabella. When about 5,000 enemies remain, only Feicui Long and Mariane are left standing, back to back, disciple and master.
Feicui Long knows that his death is inevitable, so he only smiles and says goodbye: "I'm sorry, Mariane, for making you die alongside this old sovereign."
Mariane quickly shakes her head and says: "No, master, it is an honor for me to accompany you in two lives, it is the greatest pride of this Mariane."
Feicui Long and Mariane are surrounded by the remaining injured elite enemies, but also the legions join in. The two fight until the end, but there is little they can do other than take a few more enemies with them.
...
Feicui Long is pulled out of the vision just in time by a worried Isabella who moves him with one hand while taking control of the carriage with the other. She asks him: "Are you alright? Did something happen?"
Feicui Long shakes his head. He doesn't want to tell her about the two visions he has already had, not even that his visions have returned in this seventh life of his, so he says: "No, it's nothing."
The trip continues a bit uncomfortably. When there is one day left, Feicui Long goes to hunt quartz deer with Kagetsume's help. This time, he wants to hunt several to eat since their meat is delicious but also to sell, as their meat is worth 50 silver coins per half a kilo (1.10231 lb), since it is a rare beast at least in the empire and neighboring countries due to overhunting. But in the Leechwald forest and near his house, it is very common, they can even be found in large herds.
Although he doesn't intend to face a large herd alone, because his strength at this moment is very limited, while he thinks about the enormous economic benefits, Kagetsume arrives at his side indicating that he found one. He grabs his hybrid bow and energy rifle to go hunt it.
After about three hours, he manages to hunt about 25 specimens. If he sold them all, he would have an incredible amount of gold, but that would be stupid, because that would lower the price of their meat. So he marks the bodies he will sell first and the ones they will eat at home, then returns to the camp with Isabella.
At the camp, Isabella helps him prepare the fire for the food and other minor things, since although she knows a bit about cooking from her adventurer days, she's not really very good at it, while he has extensive experience in cooking, though it's not like he's the best in this area or one of the top.
The two eat peacefully. When he finishes his plate, Feicui Long's eyes soon reactivate, announcing that another vision is coming.
...
This time, Feicui Long is on a battlefield. In front of him are powerful enemies. He has managed to reach the divine palace realm after so much effort in this new life, but now it's useless, because in front of him is the avatar of his traitorous brother Adolf along with several of his vassals.
Isabella, Mariane, Reika, Gloria, the twins and the other girls are injured, being protected by him behind his back. Feicui Long is quite injured. At this, Adolf speaks: "Feicui Long, brother, you had it all, absolutely everything in the palm of your hand, from perfect talent to the necessary strength. You could have surpassed the master whenever you wanted, but you were afraid, afraid of what would happen, afraid that your new power would change your view of the master, that everything you created would collapse overnight, that you wouldn't be able to avoid desiring more and more."
Adolf then approaches and continues: "That's why you held back your empire, that's why you only expanded it with ridiculous excuses of protecting this universe. Believe me, every time I saw you, I envied you and wondered how someone so great could be held back by such a small woman. You were destined to rule this universe, to break the status quo and take it to a new level, but you failed at everything because you've always been like this: a coward, someone afraid of change. You value others' lives more than your own. What a shame..."
Feicui Long knows he's right, and even though this truth hurts, he doesn't hesitate to tell him: "You're right, Adolf, you're right. I failed to advance to absolute king because of my feelings of not wanting to hurt my master, but even with that failure I'm still greater than you, I'm better than you at everything. I'm a god… You're just a child playing at being one."
Feicui Long pauses to catch his breath because of the wounds and then adds: "A child who betrayed the person who raised him, who gave him everything, and in return only asked for a little bit of loyalty. She let you play at being emperors with your toy empires. You are pathetically pathetic. You even started a war against Aiónios, a war you lost spectacularly. And what did you do when you saw you couldn't beat him? You joined people from the Feilou clan to kill him, and you betrayed my master who gave you everything you are, because to you that seemed like too much. You preferred to be a slave, a servant of a devil clan, rather than a god. I've never seen a more pathetic being in all my existence."
Adolf, furious, says: "Then this pathetic being will kill you and everyone you love."
Feicui Long smiles defiantly and says: "You think that just because you got something strange and unknown to seal space and time in this region you can stop me? Don't make me laugh. You've forgotten who I am. I am Feicui Long, the Supreme God of space and time, the Supreme God of dragons, disciple of Selene Skystar."
Feicui Long says some words inwardly: "Emerald, Amethyst, Topaz, I'm going to do it… I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise… even though I told you we would always be together… I hope you find a new master better than this idiot who can't keep his promises."
Feicui Long extends his arms toward the air, grabbing it. Adolf frowns, thinking what he's going to do, when Feicui Long pulls out from the air some chains of three different colors: topaz, amethyst, and emerald. With his arms he takes them and pulls hard, yanking them. When Adolf quickly understands, he shouts: "Quick, stop this fucking lunatic."
But it's already too late, because in the next moment the chains break, disorganizing everything and releasing an enormous power. With that power, Feicui Long shouts extremely fast: "EMERALD, AMETHYST, TOPAZ, GO WITH THEM NOW, SPACETIME DOMAIN, CHANGE OF SPACE AND TIME."
From Feicui Long's body, three lights come out forming the shape of three girls. The girls stand with Isabella, Reiko, and the others. Soon a circle surrounds them, even covering the ground beneath them. Everyone looks at him without understanding... only the three girls who came from the lights, each with different hair and eye colors, ranging between amethyst, emerald, and topaz, are crying...
Soon a light surrounds them and they disappear. Feicui Long sees this and says to Adolf: "I know this is just an avatar, but your connection to it is through your original soul. I'm going to give you a wound worse than the previous one, one you will never recover from."
Feicui Long says: "Emerald-golden dragon supremacy of space and time, existential devastation!"
Feicui Long shines along with his whole body and flies rapidly until he crashes into the area of Adolf's avatar, which in turn transfers part of the damage to the original while letting out horrible screams. As for the rest of the subordinates, they die in an instant. Feicui Long can only smile, smile at himself who watches this from the past... because both know what's going to happen...
Gods with divine authorities are not owners of them, they are only administrators, their temporary masters who can be replaced if they don't do their job. Although a divine authority has consciousness and personality and can develop relationships of any kind with its master, thus preventing them from executing the punishment they should, if they don't enforce the duty their masters must fulfill, in the end they are connected to the laws of the universe and therefore to the universe itself.
Even if the divine authority refuses to execute it, the universe will do it by itself, overwriting the will of the authority and even in some cases erasing its being and placing a new one... but this punishment is not only for those who don't do their job, but for those who use the laws directly as if they were their own, because that harms the universe. That's why even though authority gods are the strongest type, they are less free and are bound by invisible chains regarding what they can do...
Feicui Long has broken a taboo and now he's going to pay for it. Soon the punishment of the universe with all its force makes itself visible, his body floats in the void left by his attack and every part of him, including his soul, begins to be absorbed by the universe to heal...
While this happens, a little girl appears next to Feicui Long. She looks very similar to the topaz girl seen in the vision. The girl extends her hand to Feicui Long while crying... pulling him out of the vision...
