The Shining Star Above The Heaven

Chapter 1153 - 1153: The Distant Past 2

Angelica's expression turned bitter as she realized that she still could not feel any change in her body. She took one of the transparent crystals and let out a sigh.At this moment, Aldrian could feel everything about Angelica. Her feelings, her thoughts, he knew them as if he were the one experiencing them himself.

She felt sad and frustrated because she had once again failed in her effort to raise her cultivation talent. The transparent crystal in her hand was a Six Foundation Laws Crystal, a rare treasure that contained the six laws that shaped the foundation of the universe.

The laws of death, life, time, space, creation, and destruction.

These special crystals could only be found near the center of heaven. They were extremely rare and sought after by countless cultivators who had comprehended those laws, because they contained pure laws originating from the center of heaven, the source of countless pure laws.

Even gods would desire them.

With the pure laws contained inside these crystals, they could greatly boost a cultivator's comprehension, which was a truly great benefit for high-level cultivators.

Luckily for Angelica, there was one thing she could still take pride in.

That was her comprehension talent.

She could comprehend anything easily, even things beyond her level, a feat that not even the rare geniuses of the Ninth Heaven could achieve. The moment she learned something, she could comprehend it quickly with her extremely sharp mind and cleverness.

That was why, besides searching for a way to raise her cultivation talent, she spent most of her time comprehending many laws. She even comprehended other dao such as alchemy and formations, although they were not her main focus.

She was truly a genius in this regard.

At this moment, she wanted to try comprehending the laws and absorbing the energies within the Six Foundation Laws Crystals, which her parents had spent many years obtaining to elevate her cultivation talent and potential.

After reading some ancient texts regarding cultivation, she knew that the Six Foundation Laws Crystals were also called Transcendence Crystals because they could change someone's fate.

If someone could absorb two of the pure energies within them, their body would have a chance to undergo a transformation, which in the end could change their cultivation potential and automatically solve the problem of cultivation talent.

This also applied to Divine Realm cultivators.

Angelica had already comprehended a small portion of Time Laws, and she had comprehended Space Laws. She thought that she could undergo a transformation if she could absorb these two energies.

She could absorb the space energy and a small amount of the abstract time energy, but even then she did not sense any change in her body. She could only feel the same normal sensation as when she absorbed any other kind of energy.

Her body still gave no reaction even after absorbing the pure energy that came from these rare crystals.

Angelica felt another wave of disappointment after the countless failures in her effort to change her potential. It seemed that her parents would once again have to hear of her failure.

They, who had always supported her with everything they could, had spent years obtaining these rare crystals for her, yet in the end, everything turned to nothing.

They had already tried many methods, and all of them ended in failure. Many had long realized that there was something wrong with her body. They had even sought out Divine Realm cultivators, people who should have understood the condition of a living being far better than others.

But even they did not understand the cause of her strangeness. They could sense that she appeared normal, yet there was something within her dantian and meridians that caused her absorption of heaven and earth energy to be extremely slow.

Something that even gods could not clearly perceive.

At that rate, she would die a natural death, as her lifespan would reach its limit before she could attain a higher cultivation realm.

'How am I supposed to change my potential? Is there any other way?' she thought while covering her face with both of her hands.

Anger, frustration, and sadness all built up inside her. She truly wanted to cry.

Even though she had great comprehension ability, all of it would be useless if she could not implement it because of her lack of power. It was the same as if she had done nothing.

She asked the heavens why they gave her this fate. Why was she born into a noble family when, with her strangeness, she should have been born into a more ordinary one? That way, her family would not have to bear the shame of having a descendant with no talent in cultivation.

Her parents would not have to travel everywhere, searching for a way to fix her problem.

If she had never been born...

Tears finally fell from her eyes. Aldrian, who saw her like this, felt a deep ache in his heart. He wanted to hug her and comfort her. He wanted to tell her that everything would be fine and that he would find a way to solve her problem.

But this was only a vision of her past. It had already happened. There was nothing he could do.

After crying in silence for a few minutes, Angelica wiped her tears and took a deep breath to calm herself. She stored the crystals and then decided to take out a book. Aldrian could see the title written on it:

The Chronicle of Blessed Ones.

Angelica opened the book and continued reading from where she had left off. Aldrian finally understood what kind of book it was.

This was a book written by a famous storyteller, telling the stories of those who had once met the Great Emperor in their lives and received his help directly. Most of the stories were about encounters that changed these people's lives.

The weak became strong, the sick became healthy, the poor became wealthy. All of them were truly amazing stories, showing the greatness of the Great Emperor's character.

Angelica liked this book because she enjoyed reading about these people who seemed to share a similar fate to hers, yet were fortunate enough to meet the Great Emperor.

She had never seen the Great Emperor herself, but she had seen his statues, erected in countless places across the Ninth Heaven. She had heard his stories from many people throughout her life. She had heard of all the great things he had done, and this book was also proof of how great he was.

She could not help but feel a sense of longing to meet the Great Emperor. She found it ridiculous to feel such longing for someone she had never seen in her life. It was truly strange, but that was her genuine feeling.

She wondered what would happen if she could meet the Great Emperor, and whether he could change her fate as well.

She did not know where the Great Emperor was. But it seemed that something had happened to him, because every time she asked about him, people would show sadness. Their answers were always the same. They did not know, and could only make guesses.

Had the Great Emperor died? No, she did not think so.

How could someone as great as the Great Emperor die so easily? How could he die?

If he had not died, then why did people show such sadness?

Aldrian sighed, his heart heavy. It was clear that the Great Emperor, or himself, had already entered the cycle of reincarnation for who knew how long. He could not help but feel bad for her, longing to meet him.

He felt that he could not continue watching her like this. He wanted to shatter the vision of the past and turn it into reality.

If he could comprehend the Time Laws to a certain level, then he might be able to do that, but unfortunately, he had not yet reached that point.

He let out a deep breath and shook his head to calm himself.

To return to the past and create a new reality, which would then form a different future, would inevitably affect the future he was currently in. That would cause countless uncertainties, making everything difficult to predict unless he could also see every possible outcome after changing the past.

He could not recklessly change the past.

Still, seeing Angelica like this, even though it was only her past and they had not yet met, truly crushed him. Even though her appearance was different, he could not help but see her current face overlapping with the one before him.

As he continued to observe Angelica reading the book, he suddenly sensed someone, which made him look into the distance. A figure was flying from east to west, never approaching their position.

But then the figure suddenly stopped. In the next moment, it disappeared and reappeared in the air above Angelica.

Angelica was shocked as someone suddenly appeared, floating in the sky while looking down at her.

The figure was a man with long black hair. He was devilishly handsome, enough to captivate anyone, and wore a black robe without any symbol.

Although he was truly charming in every aspect, Angelica was not affected by it. Instead, she became wary and nervous.

Who was this man?

Aldrian was also astonished, but for a different reason.

'Heavenly Demon? So Angelica in the past also met the Heavenly Demon?'

He gazed at the figure, who was one of the people closest to him in the past.
