Chapter 60: CH 60: Majestic Multiverse
(A/N: I had nearly finished this chapter, but it was completely deleted... I fucking hate life. Anyway, happy new year!)
--------------------------
"Wow... so you're both reincarnated?" Qian Renxue asked after a bit of explanation. Hearing that not only her mom had gotten reincarnated, but also the boy that had her as his Martial Soul and knew about numerous treasures in the world, was pretty surprising.
"Wait, hold on. How old are you then?" Hu Liena squinted her eyes suspiciously :"You really haven't done anything weird to master, right?" Causing Ah Li to deadpan :"Hu Liena, if somebody is going to be considered weird, it would be your master. I mean, she JUST jerked-"
But was silenced by the hand slapping against his lips, keeping his mouth shut with a punishing force. Giving him a deadly glare, Bibi Dong smiled sweetly at her daughters :"It's okay, you two. I've already told you, Li'er is definitely a good person to his friends. And Li'er, you better watch it."
"Okay, geez." His muffled voice came before she let go :"Again, it's nice to meet you. And no, I'm not some weirdo. I respect Sister Goddess a lot, if the way I address her didn't give it away. And no, I'm not some old weirdo either. I'm younger than all of you even if the age of both lifetimes was combined. I was 17 when I died, and my soul came here when this body was 6."
"Oh wow, you died young..." Hu Liena hissed, he shrugged :"No need to rub it in, but yeah." She smiled apologetically :"Sorry." But the noiret just shrugged :"It's alright, I don't mind."
Deep in thought, Qian Renxue turned serious :"Ah Li, then you're the reason we... could meet mother today, right? Even when I was a god, I don't think I had the ability to travel between universes. And since mom has lost her godly powers as well, then that means..."
Ah Li remained calm :"That's right. Recently, I've gotten extremely strong. Strong enough for all the gods combined to not even leave a scratch on me strong. I'll tell you how later. With this strength, traveling between universes and shattering the "walls" separating the universes is nothing.
The actual difficult part was finding the specific universe of Sister Goddess. But that wasn't anything much either thanks to a special method. I'll tell you about that later too. So once I found you, I broke into your universe and brought you here."
"I see." The older blonde nodded, before suddenly bowing to him :"Thank you." Startled, Ah Li waved his hands :"Huh? O-oh, no need for that, Qian Renxue! Come on, stand up." However, she just shook her head, her golden waterfall of hair swaying in the air :"No, it's absolutely necessary for me to express my gratitude.
Until now, I had lost all hope. I never thought I'd see my mother again. I watched her die in my arms, after all. But now, I can meet her again all thanks to you. Not only did you give us the chance to meet again, you have also treated her with respect and like family. You have my utmost gratitude."
"I thank you as well." Agreeing, Hu Liena beside her bowed as well, making Ah Li sigh :"Not you too..." However, she remained serious :"No, sister Xue is right. Until now, my master's death has been the biggest regret of my life. To think that I can meet her once again today, you have no idea how thankful I am. You have my thanks from the bottom of my heart."
"Sister Goddess..." The noiret helplessly turned to Bibi Dong, but the goddess simply shrugged with a gentle smile. Sighing, he helped them up with a smile :"Alright, alright, I accept your thanks. You're welcome.
But seriously, no need for this. Sister Goddess has always been worried about your condition. Even without her saying anything, it was obvious how she was worried about you. So I had always planned to bring you to her. Originally, I had thought it would only be possible after reaching godhood, but I immediately took the chance when I had the strength and was confident in succeeding.
And besides, Sister Goddess is the dearest and closest person to me. She's like family to me. I'd definitely help her no matter what. And you two, being her daughters, are just like family to me as well. Of course I'd help you all."
"Li'er..." Bibi Dong was touched. It felt good hearing how much he cared about her. Ah Li smiled at her, but was startled when he suddenly got hugged by the blondes. "Thank you..." They whispered into his ears, arms tightening around him as they thanked over and over again. Chuckling lightly, he hugged back :"You're welcome."
Looking at how they got along, Bibi Dong wondered if she had ever been so happy. It was a happy sight. Her children were getting along with the boy she had considered her son, but had started developing feelings for.
Sensing they were going to cry again, Ah Li tried to lighten up the mood :"Alright, enough being so gloomy. Don't cry anymore. This is a happy incident, isn't it? Smiling and celebrating suits it a lot more."
Pulling back, Qian Renxue chuckled as she wiped her tears :"Yeah, I guess you're right. Then how about we introduce ourselves again?" Smiling, she reached out her hand :"My name is Qian Renxue, the daughter of your Sister Goddess. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Following her example, Hu Liena also held up a hand :"And my name is Hu Liena, the sole disciple of master. It's nice to meet you, and I hope we get along, Xiao Li." Humming, he shook their hands :"I'm Ah Li, previously known as Ali. 12 in body and 17 in mind, and Sister Goddess has been my Martial Soul for the last 6 years. Nice to meet you too, and I hope we all get along as well."
As they shook hands, his smile turned mischievous :"So what, you're not even going to tell me your age? What am I supposed to call you, sisters or aunts?" As he smirked at the tightening of their smiles to their hands, but suddenly hissed in pain.
"You little brat, haven't I taught you anything about talking about a woman's age?!" Bibi Dong scolded :"And you're outright asking them! Are you looking for a beating?!"
"Ow ow ow! Okay, okay, sorry! Geez, I was just trying to lighten up the mood!" He hissed. Luckily for him, Bibi Dong was in a good mood, so she let go :"Fine, I'll let you go this time. But don't talk about age with women, that's a sensitive subject."
"Geez, okay." He rubbed his cheek, mumbling :"Not my fault you're in your 70s- AHHHHH!" He screamed in pain as she twisted the flesh of his waist. Feeling her glare burning a hole through him, he quickly slapped her hand gently again and again in surrender :"Okay, okay, I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Sister Goddess, I'm sorry! I was just joking, please forgive me!"
The scene was either funny or dangerous depending on the perspective, but Hu Liena pretended to be thoughtful instead :"Wait, only a few years should have passed. So master shouldn't be in her 70s, but..."
"But mom should be... what, 68? 69?" Qian Renxue joined her. Even amidst the pain, Ah Li still couldn't help but snicker. Bibi Dong didn't seem to find it funny though. Her glare slowly, threateningly moved to her daughters, her cruel, cruel fingers twisting Ah Li's flesh even harder :"You damn little brats. It seems like you've forgotten your manners while I wasn't around. Then I'll teach you some right now!"
Laughing loudly, they both quickly started running, with the goddess of a milf hot on their tails :"Get back here you little shits! You think you can just run after running your mouths?!" But with how she was smiling at the laughter of her daughters, it was obvious she wasn't mad, but just annoyed.
After a while, when everybody had calmed down, the mood wasn't depressing anymore, and the two Soul Beasts were also introduced, Bibi Dong turned to Ah Li :"By the way, Li'er, where is this place anyway? I was too shocked and impatient when you said you'd be able to bring Xue'er and Nana here, so I completely forgot about it."
"This place, huh? This place is..." Looking around, he smiled at the scene. It was an enormous place, one that resembled a library. Circle shaped, instead of books, all the gorgeous white walls decorated with golden and other beautiful gems and engravings were filled with beautiful doors.
It spread to hundreds of meters in diameter, while the height didn't seem to have a limit. Even Ah Li, using all of his powers, couldn't see the end of the ceiling. It simply went further and further without any end. There was no darkness, but it just seemed infinite. It was quite a shocking sight for the others, who all had pretty high cultivation bases.
"This is Ali."
He smiled, shocking everybody. Especially Bibi Dong :"W-wait, what?! So this place is..." He finished her sentence :"Me. I'm a Soul piece of what I was, and this is what I was. I am a piece of this place. All Alis are part pieces of this place. And each door connects to the soul of a certain Ali soul piece. And this place, is actually an independent Multiverse of its own.
A Multiverse with a single universe. Heck, not even a universe, just a "library". But this place harbors power no other Multiverse can compare to. For it has every power of every Multiverse an Ali has gone to. Like a parasite that copies the powers of other Multiverses. Hahahaha, quite something, right? A Multiverse that is actually a parasite, and its infinite number of pieces have gone to an infinite number of Multiverses, taking all the best of the best powers.
It was Crow's idea. To make a small, compressed Multiverse just for me, where the powers each Ali has obtained would be copied entirely and placed here. Like a library for powers. Powers that are completely mastered. With how many doors there are, can you even imagine how much power is stored here?
Powers of normal Alis who are just assassins or knights in normal Multiverses, to Alis who are powerful individuals having the capability ranging from destroying buildings to planets or even universes, to outright Omnipotent and Almighty Alis that are absolutes.
THAT is Ali. An ABSOLUTE parasite.
(A/N: I'll put this part and will explain it in CH 0, by the way. Since that's the original chapter of every book. I've just been lazy. But I'll do it someday.)
"Wow..." They couldn't explain their shocks. They knew and could understand what he meant, but they couldn't voice out their surprise. A parasite. One hungry for power. Any power. If it was power, he wanted it. The power of a normal man, to the Almighty powers of gods and transcendent beings. That was Ali.
"So each door is you but... different?" Hu Liena asked, more curious than anybody. Ah Li chuckled :"To put it in simple words, it's like Ali is an apple. An apple that was cut to pieces, but each piece is in the same dish. And if I want to, those pieces would simply join to be whole again. There is no different Ali, we're all Ali.
Oh, by the way, it's thanks to this place that I found you. By scanning Sister Goddess, this place can pinpoint the exact location of any universe any Ali is looking for. I just have to have an idea of what I'm looking for. After that, it's all solved. Alright, anyway, we should get going now. It's fun and all here, but we should return to our own universe now."
As they all followed him to a certain open door, Bibi Dong turned to him :"Oh, by the way, you said that each Multiverse has its own name, right? What's this Multiverse's name then?" Causing him to smirk.
"Majestic Multiverse."
