Chapter 699

Because he was busy with another matter now, Sui Xiong did not care about the Oracles’ little stage .

He was headed for Sorrow-Proof Field to visit the Goddess of Love and the Goddess of Family .

Sorrow-Proof Field was a massive world located at the front of the Ring of the World . This was a world that was eternally enveloped in warm light and intoxicating, gentle breeze . This allowed the people to forget all their worries and sorrow . There were many kinds of creatures living here . They led simple and happy lives, like a piece of pure, white paper .

In this world, more than one religion believed that so long as living creatures with intelligence focused on doing good when they were alive, they would have the opportunity to be reincarnated to the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World after death . Such an idea was naturally one-sided . Living creatures with intelligence being reincarnated after death was a situation rarely seen . Generally, this could only happen if there was intervention by the gods, demons, or at least masters at the legendary level . Not only was powerful divinity required to allow souls to reincarnate from the Matter Plane to the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World, there was also the need to carry out dissection on the soul itself to cut away the parts that were not suitable for the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World . Otherwise, even if the souls that barely made the mark were sent over to the Positive Plane, they would lack protection . Then because they were unable to adapt to the surrounding environment, they would fall into weakness and very soon, they would self-destruct .

The Positive Plane of the Ring of the World was a world of pure good . Living creatures that grew up in the Matter Plane where good and evil were interlaced would never be able to adapt to the environment over there .

This was like the souls of the dead . If they had not gone through a special baptism, they would not be able to fall into the Negative Plane of the Ring of the World . So the Judgement of Hell could be considered as just—with judgment and punishment, the negative parts of the souls would be continuously removed until they were completely cleared . Then the souls could go back to the River Styx to be reclassified and start on a new cycle .

As for the negative parts that had been removed, naturally, they would fall back into the Negative Plane of the Ring of the World and be integrated as a part of the Negative Plane .

Speaking of which, it was interesting to know that to reincarnate to the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World from this world, the most reliable route was in fact, to go to hell . A trip to hell would completely rid one’s soul of all negative elements . Then through a Transportation Portal found in hell, a soul could go straight into the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World .

Though hell was usually for punishing evil, there were times where those in hell would also help the good creatures to complete their baptism and then send them to the destination that best suited them .

Sui Xiong rode in the gentle breeze and galloped among the flowers, verdure and all kinds of fruit trees that could be found within Sorrow-Proof Field . If he were to fly so fast while in the Main Plane, he would have whipped up such a strong gust of wind that the flowers and grass would be uprooted . But here, no matter how fast he flew, his powerful strength would still be influenced by the rules of this world itself and be completely dispersed into colorful light spots without hurting anything .

From a distance, it would just seem like a green jellyfish skimming through the sky, leaving behind a beautiful rainbow .

Many living creatures on the ground who saw such a scene started laughing merrily . Even Sui Xiong who noticed it later could not help laughing too .

“Doesn’t it mean that I’m flying on a rainbow? How amusing! No wonder, back when the various good gods came to send their congratulations, they were collectively stepping on rainbows to come over… So it’s just their habit . ”

Soon, he arrived at the palace of the Goddess of Love, which was a wonderful place known as the “Flame of Passion . ”

There were no walls and no roofs in this palace . It was completely made up of burning flames . However, these flames had not the slightest lethality against living creatures that did not come with malice . They would only feel the warmth of these flames, as though it was hot air warmed up to a suitable temperature .

And if anyone came here with love and passion, they could control these flames effortlessly, as though the flames had become a part of them . There was no problem at all, whether one wanted the flames to become a house, a piece of furniture, or food and drinking water . It could even become a beautiful lady or a strong man, and of course, a strong lady or beautiful man was possible too…

Although the Goddess of Love welcomed all visitors, Sui Xiong did not barge into her palace hastily . He stopped at the doorstep of the Flame of Passion and sent a message to make known his arrival .

A moment later, the flames before him parted right and left to make way for a wide avenue . The trees that lined both sides of the avenue provided shade while flowers bloomed like a brocade . There were many men and women engaged in merry conversation as they strolled amidst the flowers and trees . There was also an extremely long fountain that coursed through the entire avenue, separating it into the left and right sides .

The avenue was void of anything except for a bright red figure that was slowly approaching .

That figure was none other than the Goddess of Love . This goddess was also known as the “Queen of Flames . ” She usually liked to take the form of a burning ball of flames, but at this moment, she had appeared in a human form as a sign of respect . She had long hair that looked like burning flames, and yet was a cascade of long and silky locks . Seeing her appearance, Sui Xiong could not help but recall the time where he had helped create a knockoff game before he traversed worlds . There was a character that he created by imitating those found in Japanese anime . Her clothes were also burning, like flames made into a piece of garment and then woven into her body . But different from the burning hair and clothes, her skin was white like snow . The snow-white skin and bright-red flames formed a strong contrast and revealed a subtle charm .

Sui Xiong unconsciously gave a thumbs-up and a word of compliment .

“Beautiful!”

Since the moment he traversed worlds to the present, there were not many gods whose aesthetics could win his admiration . The Goddess of Love was one of the few .

The Goddess of Love smiled, but she did not feel proud about Sui Xiong’s compliment—probably to her, receiving compliments was a matter of course . On the contrary, it would be strange for her not to be praised .

“Your Majesty, the Void Mask, what is the matter that made you come looking for me?” she did not beat about the bush and asked directly in a straightforward manner .

Sui Xiong showed no hypocrisy and directly clarified his purpose of visit . He said, “I have a follower . He’s the archbishop of my church, and his name is Leon Igor . All these years, he and another follower of mine, Kalisa Riley, have been in love with each other . I want to hold a grand wedding for them, and I hope that they can have your blessings . ”

The Goddess of Love did not answer him immediately . First, she lowered her head and silently pondered for a while . Sui Xiong knew that she was checking whether Leon and Kalisa were truly in love with each other by means of her power .

After a while, she raised her head, and her face was full of smiles .

“Very well, they love each other,” she said . “In this case, I should give them my blessing . Every loving couple can ask me to bestow them my blessings . It’s my duty to give them blessings for eternal love . ”

Sui Xiong also laughed . After laughing, he added, “But then… I also intend to invite the Goddess of Family to give them her blessings . She can bless them with an everlasting marriage and a happy life together . ”

The Goddess of Love frowned and said, “If the Flame of Love burns out, that marriage will not continue . ”

This was the fundamental difference between her and the Goddess of Family . The Goddess of Love believed that the pursuit of “love” was sacrosanct . If a husband and wife no longer loved each other, then whether they broke up or found another person to love, they should be lauded . On the other hand, the Goddess of Family felt that a family itself was sacred . Unless both parties had some fundamental conflicts that were irreconcilable, they should put up with their chagrins to protect the family . As to “finding someone new” and such, those people simply deserved to be hung and burned to death alive!

Because of this reason, though the two goddesses lived on the Sorrow-Proof Field, they had never shared an amicable relationship . They had even fought one another more than once .

Sui Xiong wanted to invite the two of them to Leon’s wedding ceremony at the same time so that they could bless Leon and Kalisa together . But that was no easy feat .
