Animal-eared Girl Era: Start by Forming a Contract with an SSS-Class School Belle

That crystal-clear, delicate jade hand held tightly onto the spatial Dao fragment.

"Huh?"

The Space Ancestor Empress opened her eyes, only to see that her tiny hand was clinging tightly to the spatial Dao fragment, refusing to let go.

Her pretty face flushed red, and she let go of her fair, slender hand, a bit embarrassed.

*This spatial Dao fragment had way too much appeal for her!* *She didn't even realize it and just…*

*Grabbed it!*

"Human Emperor, I mean what I say, I absolutely won't accept any payment,"

"I'm helping you of my own free will!"

The Space Ancestor Empress said firmly,

If it wasn't for her proud, brilliant gaze fixed unblinkingly on the spatial Dao fragment, Xiao Ye might have almost believed her!

"Mm, you're helping me of your own will."

"Since you don't want it, I won't give it to you."

Xiao Ye directly put away the three floating items in his hand.

The Space Ancestor Empress withdrew her gaze, but her disappointment was almost written all over her stunningly beautiful face.

Xiao Ye twitched his lips, took out the spatial Dao fragment, and stuffed it right into the Empress's arms.

He said with a faint smile,

"Your Majesty, this is something I'm giving you, not as a payment,"

"It's a gift,"

"If you turn it down again, it'll just seem pretentious."

The Space Ancestor Empress's petite hand clutched the spatial Dao fragment tightly, and her proud, star-bright eyes stared at him in a daze.

Xiao Ye picked up the piece of World Tree wood in Jiang Xue'an's hand. *Was this thing cut from the World Tree?*

*There's actually a World Tree growing on the black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy?*

*The World Tree is definitely no ordinary thing. In legend, every leaf is a world, each leaf like a living star, containing three thousand Dao laws, forming a massive mega world on its own!*

*The level and class of this compared with the spatial Dao fragment was way higher!*

*Just this small piece of World Tree wood, in terms of value, was probably about equal to the spatial Dao fragment.*

Gripping the World Tree wood, he asked, sounding puzzled,

"Empress, how do you use this thing?"

"Future Sister Qingcheng—uh, how does the Fate Divine Spirit use it to construct the perfect Rule Origin body?"

The Space Ancestor Empress put away the spatial Dao fragment, "Leave the body construction to me,"

"I'm really good at this kind of thing."

*If the Five Elements Divine Spirit had been here, they'd definitely be roasting the Empress in their "mind"—*

*Using World Tree wood to build a body? What a waste of a treasure!*

*With this thing, even if your Rule Origin collapsed, as long as you nurtured it with the World Tree wood for tens of thousands of years, you'd recover!*

As she finished speaking, the Space Ancestor Empress, clothed in a golden imperial robe, flew up high into the sky and coolly declared,

"Fate Divine Spirit, can you hear me?"

"Come out and meet me."

Fwoosh!

Out from the Destiny Rule Origin emerged a Profound Sacred will.

"Who are you?"

The Space Ancestor Empress sent out a thread of willpower, entering the Profound Sacred will.

The Profound Sacred will seemed to realize, saying, "You're the Space Divine Spirit, my older sister?"

"I remember you, you're the one who saved me, who helped me become the Fate Divine Spirit."

"You gave me new life, a new existence."

"Thank you very much."

The Space Ancestor Empress froze for a second, then her face dropped in embarrassment, "Sorry, wasn't me who saved you,"

"It was that person down there with the Emperor's Qi Fortune—the Human Emperor,"

"Since you call me sis, then I'm your sister. I have an older sister too, the Time Empress, who's the Time Divine Spirit. Back then, she helped me condense my own will and take shape quickly."

"You can call the Human Emperor 'big brother.' Your new life was given by him!"

"Big brother Human Emperor?" The Profound Sacred will's gaze fell on Xiao Ye, who was gazing up from below, and her mind suddenly blanked in confusion.

"No, I can't call him big brother!"

She suddenly exclaimed, her tone agitated.

The Space Ancestor Empress's willow brows knit, "Why, do you know him? Do you still remember things from before?"

The Profound Sacred will hesitated for a moment, her eyes glued to Xiao Ye down below, and then inexplicably let out a sigh.

After that, she looked away and said, puzzled,

"I don't know him, and I don't remember him either,"

"I can't say why, but inside I have a strong resistance to calling him 'big brother.' I don't want to be his sister—somehow, it feels like if I become his sister, I'll lose something."

"It's weird, just looking at him makes me feel awful. Why is that?"

The Space Ancestor Empress was stunned.

*Don't want to be a sister, then what, want to be the Human Emperor's wife?*

*The Fate Divine Spirit's will was extracted from the Obsessed Future Gu Qingcheng.*

*Willpower was like the essence of the Soul Body, with all the impurities refined out and the best parts remaining.*

*This will was probably influenced by the Obsessed Soul.*

*Some things become carved in the soul's deepest layers, marked into the will's roots—they wouldn't vanish just because memories are wiped away.*

*The Profound Sacred will fell silent too, mulling over what relationship she had with the Human Emperor, and why just seeing him made her heart ache so badly.*

The Space Ancestor Empress tossed the World Tree wood to her, saying,

"I just sent you some basic info about this world,"

"And methods for condensing an Origin body,"

"Use the World Tree wood to forge a flawless vessel, attach your will to it, but also keep some will inside your Destiny Rule Origin—half and half."

"Of course, you could put all your will into the vessel instead, if you want. It's up to you."

The Fate Divine Spirit seemed to trust the Empress completely, saying, "I'll do whatever Sis says!"

She controlled her Destiny Rule Origin and started building a body.

Next, in the eyes of Xiao Ye and the others, up in midair—

The Destiny Rule Origin Essence gushed forth endless pure Rule Origin, converging onto the World Tree wood.

A crystal-clear, naked, gorgeous female form gradually took shape.

Graceful curves, an alluring silhouette, long legs, an exquisitely beautiful face like a national treasure, bright eyes and pearly teeth, three thousand strands of black hair.

Ziran caught Xiao Ye staring dumbfounded, and pouted,

"Xiao Ye, do you think she's pretty?"

"She's beautiful!" Xiao Ye blurted out without thinking.

Ziran pursed her lips, a little sour, "So who's prettier, me or the Fate Divine Spirit?"

Xiao Ye came to his senses, "Both are beautiful!"

"Ahem, don't get the wrong idea."

"I just find it strange. The Fate Divine Spirit shouldn't have Future Sister Qingcheng's memories, but why is the body she formed identical to Sister Qingcheng's?"

"I helped Sister Qingcheng trim once—yet the Fate Divine Spirit's body is exactly the same."

"Every single feature is identical."

He said, clearly astonished.

Ziran looked up, "Whoa, that face! It really is identical."

"As for the details, I wouldn't know."

"Well, well, Xiao Ye, you say you helped her trim down there? I've never gotten that treatment, so when we get back, you've got to do it for me too!"

Xiao Ye laughed, "No problem."

"Bingxi, do you want it too?"

Cheng Bingxi's face flushed red. She rolled her eyes, "I can do it myself, I don't need you to!"

Jiang Xue'an said, sounding a little down, "Too bad I don't have a forest, otherwise I'd want my Lord to trim it too."

At this time, up in the sky—

The Space Ancestor Empress was totally baffled.

She hadn't passed on any information about Gu Qingcheng's looks or physical features to the Fate Divine Spirit.

Yet the Fate Divine Spirit had created a physical body that looked exactly like Gu Qingcheng!

The Empress herself didn't know the body details, but the face that the Fate Divine Spirit conjured looked like it was carved from the same mold as Gu Qingcheng's.

"Fate Divine Spirit, you—why did you form a body like this?"

The Space Ancestor Empress asked, confused.

The Profound Sacred will said,

"In my subconscious, I just formed a body like this."

"Sis, is there a problem with this body?"

The Space Ancestor Empress shook her head, "It's fine."

*It just drove home for her that the will, refined from the soul, wouldn't forget everything just because memories are wiped away.*

*Some things are built into instinct, seeped into the very core of the will!*
