Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

Chapter 908: Non-Equivalent Exchange

Impermanent suddenly raised her head, standing at the entrance of Yun Xi Town, unable to take another step forward.

Why did he know her name?

The quality of memory exchange is supposed to be equivalent, and as a Supreme Heavenly Demon, her memories should be overwhelmingly superior to mere humans.

It's like a balance with one side being the divine and the other side being mortals. Regardless, the scales should tip in favor of Impermanent as a Supreme Heavenly Demon.

Why did she only see the young man being pulled by her childhood friend's hand to take the entrance exam for the Sword Palace, while he was already calling out her true name?

The true name of the Impermanent Heavenly Demon carries a special significance, representing the memory of Impermanent's strongest Heavenly Demon before being a Heavenly Demon, or even you could say it is Impermanent's only weakness.

Just like something without a fixed concept, once it is named, it gains meaning in existence. contemporary romance

Impermanent represents boundlessness.

Impermanence represents the annihilation of all things.

In Buddhist terminology, the meaning of Impermanent and Impermanence is the ultimate state of Paranirmita Vasavartin, which is why only a few of the strongest Heavenly Demons in the Heavenly Demon are called "Impermanent."

Impermanent is born from sentient beings of wisdom, and from the moment of birth, even the closest person will automatically forget Impermanent's name.

Even the third-ranked "her" in the greatsword maid only left behind the alias "the Killing Princess."

Even the fairy, Kingfisher, who once followed her, has forgotten her true name.

Elise, this name, even Impermanent herself has forgotten it, because it is no longer needed.

"Why... do you know this name?"

"Even I myself... no longer remember it..."

Impermanent gazes at the other side of the world, where the greatsword stands in the deepest abyss, tainted by the Bloody Waltz of Cerberus.

No, something isn't right!

The amount of memory exchange between the two sides is clearly vastly different, so why is it that he knows this crucial true name before me?

In the contract of the Heavenly Demon, it signifies that the one who holds the initiative in the contract is not the Heavenly Demon, but the contractee.

Being known of one's true name by the other party also means that in the Heavenly Demon contract, the contractee's provided memory far exceeds the quality of one's own memory.

This is impossible!

All she sees is just the ordinary life of a sixteen-year-old boy, at most having a few somewhat unusual childhood friends.

The world the young boy sees is so simple, peaceful, how could it possibly compare to the the Killing Princess who has gone through endless abyssal slaughter and ultimately defeated Cerberus?

Could it be that the contract believes that this ordinary sixteen-year-old boy's life completely surpasses her as the Killing Princess?

This is unreasonable, where exactly did things go wrong?

If this continues, the initiative in the contract will completely reverse.

She was the one who originally proposed the contract, forcibly erasing the disruptive Order God Seal, and it was also her who ultimately pulled the young boy into the Soul [Field], so why is it that she, as the Supreme Heavenly Demon, is the one at a disadvantage in the balance of the contract?

What caused the scales of the soul to completely tilt towards the other side, to the point where even her own true name was leaked?

The true name Elise, which was completely erased from the world long ago when she became the Impermanent Heavenly Demon.

Therefore, Impermanent should be the strongest Heavenly Demon without any weaknesses.

Similar to the White Holy Dragon with its sacred bloodline, the true name of Impermanent also possesses extremely terrifying power, being the only thing that can bind this kind of Supreme Heavenly Demon-like Impermanent.

But... this is your name? Yun Xi blinked, looking at the girl on the side of the peaceful town where she was born, as the dawn descended from the deepest depths of the abyss through the sky.

The transformation into the Killing Princess, now a Supreme Heavenly Demon, made her figure even smaller than before. Time had not left any traces on her but seemed to flow backward.

That appearance represented her as the youngest among all Supreme Heavenly Demons and the latest to be born in the endless god's domains as Impermanent.

My name... should not be known to you... Elise... Pronouncing this name, which she almost felt unfamiliar with, Elise made up her mind.

Time, flow backward! she wanted to see where exactly, at which point in time, the positions of both sides on the balance of souls had been completely reversed.

The ability to go against the flow of time and observe the past is a true domain of gods. Even for Elise, a Supreme Heavenly Demon, casting this spell would come at a great cost.

But not doing so is not an option, otherwise the initiative of the contract would be completely in Yun Xi's hands. She needed to know what exactly she had seen that caused the complete imbalance of their souls.

Vaguely, she had a premonition that she was playing with fire. However, she had absolute confidence in her Impermanent body.

No one can make a Supreme Heavenly Demon commit the same mistake. They are the highest beings naturally positioned at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Demon.

In the first year, Yun Xi was taken in by his current foster parents. The second, third, fourth year... nothing out of the ordinary happened. The ninth, tenth, eleventh year... no clues could be found, except for meeting those childhood friends. The twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth... it all seemed like an ordinary life of a small town youth, even though the town itself was somewhat peculiar, but the boy himself was just average.

His dream was nothing more than marrying an ordinary childhood friend, inheriting his family's bakery, and then having a few children to live a happy and ordinary life.

How could someone like him grow to the point of being able to summon a Supreme Heavenly Demon? His first fifteen years of life had nothing to do with the words "legendary," to the extent that he probably couldn't even defeat a wild wolf.

Compared to his invincible childhood friend, he was as insignificant as dust under the sun.

With such a tiny soul, let alone Supreme Heavenly Demon, he was even unfit to summon an Enchantress.

Why would the soul of such a person outweigh her on the balance of the contract and even obtain her long-sealed true name? Elise's legend—blessed by countless people since birth. Enchanting numerous nobles at her first formal ball. Regarded as the future saint candidate when she attended the church school.

Yun Xi, dancing the Bloody Waltz, slaughtered millions of demons, ventured alone into the deepest contaminated areas, battled Cerberus for seven days and nights, and killed the strongest Black Beast thirteen times in a row.

Sacrificing herself, she dealt fatal blows to numerous evil gods, transformed into the Supreme Heavenly Demon, and earned the name "Impermanent."

Yun Xi's legendary journey—

Abandoned by unknown parents by the roadside, she was adopted by an ordinary childless couple.

He met Hua Huo, a talented childhood friend from the Western God's Domain, and completed her compulsory education at the public school in town.

He became the owner of a bakery and formed closer relationships with her childhood friends.

Other—None.

Even if he sacrifices millions or tens of millions of identical souls, his life still cannot compare to Elise's finger.

The contract with the Heavenly Demon is based on mutual consent.

The two parties of the contract will naturally achieve a dynamic balance.

The monks who summon the Enchantress with the Paranirmita Vasavartin Scroll understand the terrifying nature of the Heavenly Demon more than anyone else. When summoning the Heavenly Demon, they are aware of the taboos involved and are cautious at all times. However, they still often lose themselves and perish.

Unaware and fearless, Yun Xi summoned the highest-ranked Impermanent from the endless god's domains, completely unaware of the madness of her actions.

Even a highly cultivated monk who has attained the purity of the six senses and comprehended the concept of "form is emptiness, emptiness is form" cannot resist the control of Impermanent.

Impermanent itself is the embodiment of great liberation, representing the true form of the Supreme Heavenly Demon that stands opposite to the position of the fruit of profound wisdom in Buddhism.

Charm, intelligence, strength—Impermanent possesses the highest rank in all aspects and has no weaknesses. It is not restrained by any Buddhist supernatural powers and represents the ultimate realm of the Heavenly Demon.

If measured on the twin witches' golden scale, the counterpart of the Impermanent Heavenly Demon is undoubtedly a deity, and a highly ranked one, at least eighth rank or higher.

The soul quality of an eighth-ranked Impermanent, in the balance of the contract, unexpectedly tilted towards Yun Xi's side. This is an extremely unusual situation.

Even if it has to pay a tremendous price of weakness, Impermanent must find out what exactly happened.

At what point in time did the anomaly occur?

After the age of fifteen, the timeline moved forward once again.

Finally, the day of Yun Xi's sixteenth birthday arrived.

This day, it's this day!

Elise's whole body trembled slightly. It was a day she had once overlooked but now finally realized that something was amiss.

Because on this day, a mysterious object appeared by the young boy's side.

On the young boy's sixteenth birthday, he received an extraordinary gift.

This node that she had once inadvertently overlooked, when it appeared for the second time on this day, she realized that something was wrong.

Where did that golden retriever come from?

How could such a magical creature exist in this small town?

That flawless golden fur, accompanied by wise and beautiful eyes, clearly belonged to one of the rarest and most extraordinary creatures in the Western God's Domain, the legendary Golden Princess with the bloodline that brings luck to people!

As someone who inherited the ancient royal bloodline of the Western God's Domain, she unexpectedly overlooked such an unusual occurrence.

Even she, who has only seen it in the church's illustrations, had never laid eyes on a Golden Retriever with such pure bloodline.

That legend is not unfounded!

The truly pure-blooded Royal Golden Retriever originates from the same level of mythical creature as Cerberus, the legendary magical being said to bring luck and wealth to its owner.

In order to prevent the bloodline of these miraculous Golden Retrievers from extinction, the royal families of the Western God's Domain even resorted to forbidden means, allowing a fraction of these adorable, non-aging golden spirits to survive.

Without exception, they are all Golden Princesses, and the pure-blooded Golden Retriever bloodline now only remains in the female branch.
