Tiangou watched all of his actions with an indifferent glance as she sat crosslegged on one of her sealed spiritual power, aka, one of the blood moons. She didn't know about this before but there was a void of space between the inner world and where the sun, Xiu Ye's spiritual core, and her spiritual power is put at.
Xiu Ye's inner world was always fixed in a perpetual time of a little after high noon, the eight-ringed sun was on the west while the two blood moons was on the east. It was strange sight, especially since the part of the world where the two blood moons light covered the land had the weapons with demonic, darkness, evil, etc. attributes embedded.
It looked as if his inner world had achieved some sort of balance, a yin yang kind of thing. She always wondered if this was due to luck, talent or external force that made his world the way it is today. Though she would have to go with all of the above, with what she had observed of her partner in the small few months they'd gotten to know each other.
After messing around with Ryūjin Jakka and getting ignored by him, Tiangou quickly got bored. She was initially excited and happy wandering around the world of limitless steel, studying all the mystical and powerful weapons that she can get her hands on.
Sadly however, her wonderful journey of studying steel had came to a stop when she noticed something in the inner world of Xiu Ye.
It was incomplete and unstable.
Right now the inner world of Xiu Ye was at the size equal to the land of USA and continues to grow at a slow rate.
Tiangou hadn't noticed this before but Xiu Ye's inner world wasn't something of a spiritual world, where the spiritual sea(spiritual power) could be found and contained, then converted into a spiritual core, and where a soul master's spiritual domain is contained as well. It's something completely different and also the reason why Xiu Ye wasn't able to completely use his spiritual domain properly.
A spiritual world is someone's mental space created by a person's spiritual power and be developed further by said power and a bit of their soul mixed in as well.
Xiu Ye's inner world however is completely different. It was his soul. It didn't only have his spiritual power flowing around the entire world as oxygen but soul power as well: because this entire world of his, is in truth is his true martial soul.
Tiangou didn't how, it was also so obvious, but Xiu Ye seem unable to properly awaken his true martial soul and instead used a substitute–Ryūjin Jakka.
Which is also the reason why his inner world is incomplete and wouldn't be able to be projected into the real world yet.
Xiu Ye's inner soul is broken. Not this inner world that was his outer soul, but his own true self hidden deep within the world and one he used to wander in this world. He and Ryūjin Jakka might've not notice but she clearly can with her abilities.
It was a total mess that even made Tiangou, a Great Beast, to shudder. That was the first time she'd ever saw a soul as broken as his. It still surprises her how he's still alive and haven't gone insane with how his soul is. As to how it became like that? She caught a glimpse of memories in his broken soul and she could guess with outmost certainty on how.
There were three beginnings, three paths, and three outcomes.
The beginning is always the same. The three outcomes almost remains the same.
But the path always differs.
He, who always sought after that everlasting utopia and the one forever awaiting for his arrival. He, who continued following his path without regret. He, who sacrificed everything for the one he loved.
They who lived different lives, different paths, but always remain as the same person.
The same person but with different memories? Tiangou could already guessed that Xiu Ye is a reincarnated person but also not on his second life but probably on his fourth or fifth. This much rebirth had probably exhausted his soul, it would need a lot of time to recover and when it does fully recover: his inner world would finally be completed and it would awaken as his true martial soul.
"Seriously, your more trouble than your worth partner...." Tiangou muttered out of her mouth as she closed her eyes and clasped her hands together in a prayer, and in that moment, Mjolnir appeared on top of her. Tendrils of blue lightning covered her as red, black, silver and green specks of light surrounded her.
A deep sigh of resignation went out of her mouth as her accumulated energy went to restrain some troublemakers down on her area.
The land of demonic weapons let out loud screeching noises as the blades of the weapons started to vibrate and slowly come off of the earth they were embedded in.
They were weapons of unholy nature, darkness and evil given physical forms, they wanted–no, needed to be released and be used to pave a path of bodies through the world.
For they are weapons made to slaughter, curse, poison, kill, kill, and kill! They were created solely for that purpose!
Although not every demonic weapon shared the same will, although those with intelligence equal to a human questioned themselves on how the hell they have a will and conscience since they were inanimate objects, but still most of them serve the purpose for bringing death, destruction and corruption.
Tiangou clicked her tongue in irritation as she waved her hand once more and used more of her energy to suppress the bloodthirsty idiots.
"These guys are just too stubborn. Ever since I established a partnership with Xiu Ye, these guys and that 'person' have started to act up and try to cause trouble. Is it because of my aura as a Deathly Hallow that they're acting like this? Or is it because his bloodline is starting to awaken? Seriously partner, you have a lot of issues. But I wouldn't have chosen you if you didn't. No one becomes strong without any issues with them after all."
A soft smile appeared on Tiangou's face.
"I can't wait for the day when this world, this era, would see a new god rise. That would be the day when the era of the third generation new gods would begin and I can finally see my master."
