Corrupt Creations

"Is it true senior?" Lilian asked unbelieving about the situation. She was already starting to get happy, just thinking about the ascension her best friend would be through in her life, if this was really the truth.

"Why would I joke on something like this?" A mysterious smile appeared on the goddess face.

Caizhi countenance got complicated, she first looked towards Lilian and the latter gave her a nod.

Caizhi was a girl that highly valued her companions and would never betray them, so, if Lilian didn't approve the idea, she would instantly refuse. She would feel like betraying the Blazing Phoenix sect.

Lilian immediately agreed, but there was someone she wanted the reply even more than Lilian's reply. Seth gave her hope and performed a reformation on her life. She felt that her goal would be to follow him from now on, so there was no need to forge her own path, since she would walk with him.

"There is no need for you to refuse it now. I know that you need some time to think and talk things through with an important person, right? We will be in this city until tomorrow morning. You can visit us at this address tonight, if you decide to be someone relevant for that person." The goddess talked as if she knew everything, nothing escaped her eyes, since it was seeing not only the body, but the soul.

She lightly touched Caizhi's forehead and some information was transferred to her.

After saying everything she needed to say, the sound that was gone suddenly returned to the stadium, but the Deep Lake Goddess had vanished from right before people eyes.

The audience exploded in comments and gossips. They could not understand how someone with a healthy mind would be able to reject an offer like that, even if it was just temporarily.

"How could she refuse it?"

"Is she perhaps crazy?"

"Damn! If it was me, I would be jumping with joy!"

A lot of comments were reaching Caizhi and Lilian's ears, although, both of them didn't seem to bother with it. Actually, they were thinking about where the hell did Seth go at a time like this?

The man himself, was standing right outside the stadium. When he arrived here, there was a deadly silence that instigated fear even on him. 'Am I at the wrong place?' Seth was not able to believe that everyone inside would be silent at the same time. What would be needed to cause such an occasion?

When he was preparing to leave and ask around where the event was being held, an uproar suddenly happened, almost scaring him shitless.

"What the hell, are they pranking me or something?"

Seth took out his ticket and handled it to the guards at the entrance. They allowed his entry and he took the designed route to the place where the girls were at.

"Seth!" Caizhi spotted Seth and waved her hands for him, signaling her position.

Seth noticed that people around instantly took notice of him. Somehow, he seemed more entertaining for them, than the event itself.

Seth arrived where the girls were sitting and noticed that there was something amiss.

"Why are you girls making such serious faces? This whole stadium is actually acting different from normal."

"It is good that you noticed! First of all, why did it take you so long to come to watch the event? Are you dating another girl already?" Lilian mercilessly attacked him with harsh words. There was a strange feeling swelling inside her, when she thought about that possible scenario.

"What? Me? Do you think I am some kind of all-time lady wooer?"

Lilian gave him a stare that said: 'Do you think you can fool me?'

Lexi giggled and said inside his mind: "At last someone awakened and is revealing your true nature!"

"Alright, I'm sorry for being late, okay?" Seth apologized while sighing.

'This woman is so keen. Where is that naivety, she has been showing me every night, right now?'

"Can you at least explain me, why are there so many stares on my back?"

"Well..." Lilian was about to explain but Caizhi said it herself.

"The Deep Lake Goddess personally invited me to join the Glazed Lake sect as her disciple." She didn't know how Seth would react. What she did know was that it would be really beneficial for her to join that sect, but she would rather not go if Seth didn't want her to.

"What? Are you talking about that Goddess? One of the most beautiful women in the entire continent? How was she like?" Seth was exited to know about her feature. Actually, every man and woman would love to know that, but only a few people have seen her face, a quantity that could be counted on the fingers of a single hand.

"Hm? Don't you find it a bother if I join the Glazed Lake?"

"Why should I find it bothersome? There will be plenty of resources for your growth within that environment. I actually think it is it a blessing from the high skies."

Seth didn't seem to think it was a bad idea at all.

"But we probably won't be able to meet each other for a long time." The Soul Link between them made they subtly yearn for each other. All in all, it was a good feeling, so it would improve their relationship with time.

"Silly girl, let me tell you something." Seth approached her and whispered in her ears, for only her to hear it.

"When the time comes, I'll go to the Glazed Lake sect to see you, and if anyone tries to stop me, then I'll invade and steal you back."

Caizhi blushed entirely after hearing it. If someone from the Glazed Lake heard those words, it could be considered as an affront.

What they didn't know, was that there was a certain goddess eavesdropping their conversation. Ever since she found out some of his secrets, she has been observing him to understand some more. It sounds like a bothersome person that tried to know about someone's life at first, but there were some deeper meanings behind her actions. First of all, how was it even possible to exist a spirit inside a human body? Questions like this fueled her curiosity. If it wasn't her that actually discovered this but some other person, then Seth would be hunted or used as experiment.

The Deep Lake Goddess had achieved some mastery over the soul, since her constitution leaned to that area. While inside Seth's soul, she was surprised and expelled by a secret force. However, she found out that it was a spirit that did it.

Seth was already an interesting material ever since she saw him fighting a lot of beasts within the Ygnolia forest. After making such a life changing discovery, her interest in him spiked up.

Even her decision on accepting Caizhi as an apprentice was partially influenced by her link with Seth. Caizhi was indeed a talented individual. The Deep Lake Goddess could feel how the energy circling around her was different from the other people. It seemed more like the energy around Seth. It was stronger than normal Qi or Mana.

Her questions kept increasing and her interest increased together.

At the other side of the stadium, three elves were watching the entire event.

Paeris Beihorn has arrived in the Hilkhell city with his disciples one day before the event started. While his disciples were making some preparations, he took the crystal that could react to the plague on his hands and visited every single part of the city, in order to find the people his disciples described for him.

He did not slack off on this task, since it was a serious matter, however, even after using his superior cultivation to scan and sense the individuals in a large area, he didn't discover that group of people anywhere.

When he least expected to find them, a goddess descended from heaven and led him to what he wanted to find.

"Look there, master! That is the group of people we fought against at that time." Ilbrien pointed at Seth's group.

"But, why would such a goddess bother with them?" Finnea asked.

Paeris looked at the group with a solemn expression. He knew a lot more than his disciples about the matters concerning the human powerhouses. He knew that the Glazed Lake was one of the strongest sects within the human territory, and there was a person that belonged to that sect that he couldn't afford to provoke no matter what.

That person has just recruited one of his targets as a direct disciple. His plan of forcefully approaching the targets would have to be revised. If he did it with hostility, there could be no traces left behind and he wouldn't be able to touch the dark-haired girl.

When Paeris started to think on another plan, he remembered something.

"Finnea, didn't you say you had poisoned the boy?"

"!!!"

"Master I can't be mistaken; I saw him getting a cut from my arrow that contained the evergreen poison."

"Say no more, I trust you."

Paeris expression turned even more serious. The evergreen poison the elves used was a synthetic poison produced with a rare material. The power the poison contained would be so potent that only Mana Control practitioners would have a chance of purifying it. This is even considering that the evergreen poison they used was actually synthetic. The original one would be at least hundred thousand times stronger.

But right in front of his eyes, the boy was standing like nothing have actually happened with him. This could only mean one thing.. Their background was deeper than he thought.
