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

Quickly ascend to the Star Domain Realm?

At these words, the Ancestral Empress and the Reincarnation Divine Spirit both widened their eyes.

The Star Domain Realm, in their understanding, was a realm even more badass than Divine Spirit.

The Blue Star Divine Spirits had appeared for hundreds of thousands of years, but only the Time Empress had ascended to the Star Domain Realm—the rest at the highest level were all stuck at the peak of the Emperor Realm.

The two beautiful Divine Spirits had trouble breathing, their hearts pounding wildly.

"I want to! Of course I do!"

"Brother Human Emperor, Little Reincarnation wants to ascend to the Star Domain Realm!"

Since Xiao Ye had already wiped out Divine Spirit consciousness before, the stunning Reincarnation Divine Spirit didn't doubt his words.

*If not even Divine Spirits could be killed completely, for him, ascending to the Star Domain Realm should be a piece of cake, right?*

The Ancestral Empress asked with some confusion, "To make your body the seed, are you saying the Reincarnation Divine Spirit should take the Path of Cosmic Beings?"

Xiao Ye nodded with a grin,

"Yeah, the Divine Spirit path has way too many drawbacks, it relies completely on the Rule Origin Essence."

"You're too tightly bound to the planet and the Rule Origin Essence."

"If you want to ascend on the Divine Spirit path, you have to upgrade the Rule Origin Essence first, and the Rule Origin will still be limited by Blue Star."

"But the Path of Cosmic Beings uses your body as the seed, and the Rule Origin as a supplement, so it's not limited by the planet."

"Of course, this has its own downsides too."

"If your body is the seed, once your body and soul are killed, you're dead for real."

"It's not like the Divine Spirit path; if your body is wiped out but you still have the Rule Origin, your will can keep existing."

"Reincarnation Divine Spirit, do you want to walk the Divine Spirit path, or the Path of Cosmic Beings?"

"If you choose the Divine Spirit path, I can still help you ascend to the Star Domain Realm, but after that, your road will get really tough, probably a dead end."

He asked this seriously.

"I..." The Reincarnation Divine Spirit hesitated.

*In her world, the Star Domain Realm was already a ridiculously powerful existence, able to strut around Blue Star with no fear.*

*No matter which path she took, as long as she could reach the Star Domain Realm, it would be good enough.*

The Ancestral Empress reminded her,

"Reincarnation Divine Spirit, don't forget about the Desolate Realm."

"Star Domain Realm just means you can cross the universe at a basic level. After that, there's still the Sovereign Realm, Cosmic Level, and Cosmic Origin Level."

"On Blue Star, Star Domain Realm isn't invincible."

"Our big sis Time Empress is at the Star Domain Realm, and even she isn't satisfied, she wants to go even higher."

"I—I've made up my mind. I want to walk the Path of Cosmic Beings!" The Reincarnation Divine Spirit's delicate little face turned determined.

*Divine Spirits weren't truly immortal.*

*Faced with Cosmic-level beings, even Divine Spirits could fall.*

*So that story about Divine Spirits being undying? That was total bullshit!*

*If you walked the Divine Spirit path, even if you made it to Star Domain Realm, that's as good as your life would get.*

*But if you chose the Path of Cosmic Beings, it cut down a ton of limitations and there was always hope for advancement.*

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit looked serious, "Brother Human Emperor, please teach me the secret art of making my body the seed—Little Reincarnation will forever be grateful!"

"From now on, if you say east, I'll never go west."

"I'll do whatever Brother Human Emperor says!"

Xiao Ye nodded, "Alright, in that case, let's all head into the Bronze Hall."

A blue Light Gate opened up.

The three Divine Spirits and Xiao Ye stepped in, entering the Altar World.

Xiao Ye tossed a big mansion out of his System space and set it down in the open area.

After everyone entered the living room,

he handed a white towel to the Reincarnation Divine Spirit, saying,

"Go take a shower first, get all that stink washed off. Don't wear anything when you come into the bedroom."

"I'll come in later to teach you."

The stunning Reincarnation Divine Spirit gripped the towel in her little hand and stared blankly, her face frozen, saying,

"Huh?"

"I don't stink! Why do I have to shower?"

"Wait a sec, why do I have to strip for this 'body-as-seed' technique?"

*She'd wanted to flirt with the Human Emperor, sure, but she hadn't actually planned on letting him get the goods for real!*

*Well, great. Tried to tease him, but ended up falling right into his trap.*

The Ancestral Empress and the Fate Divine Spirit both widened their lovely eyes.

"Human Emperor, does body-as-seed have to be taught and learned in the nude?"

"Human Emperor, is there another way?"

Xiao Ye shook his head, frowning, "Nope."

"Body-as-seed requires changing the Divine Spirit's physical attributes, turning a Divine Spirit's body into that of a Cosmic Being."

"Only Reincarnation Divine Spirit needs to be au naturel, not me."

"I just need to use the secret massage technique, combine it with the body-as-seed structure of Cosmic Beings, and help change her body's traits."

Massage?

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit, Ancestral Empress, and Fate Divine Spirit were all dumbstruck.

*Not only naked, but hands-on, too!*

*For some reason, Fate Divine Spirit started to imagine Xiao Ye massaging the Reincarnation Divine Spirit and got an odd, choked-up feeling inside. Her mood got even worse.*

Xiao Ye sighed, "Reincarnation Divine Spirit, if you don't want to, then forget it."

"If you want to ascend to Star Domain Realm, there's another way—the Divine Spirit path."

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit got all tangled up inside.

The Ancestral Empress, though, looked eager to try. She already wanted to become the Human Emperor's wife anyway. So what, she could just watch.

"Reincarnation, just stick to the Divine Spirit path."

"Star Domain Realm is already the undisputed overlord on Blue Star."

"As long as the Desolate Realm doesn't break out and there's no invasion from Cosmic Great Races, you simply can't die, Blue Star continues, so you'll exist forever."

The Fate Divine Spirit breathed a sigh of relief, that choked feeling in her chest finally going away.

*If the Reincarnation Divine Spirit stuck to the Divine Spirit path, the Human Emperor wouldn't get to take advantage of her.*

*That way, she wouldn't have to suffer.*

But the Reincarnation Divine Spirit stubbornly lifted her little chin, gritting her teeth,

"No."

"I used to think Star Domain Realm was invincible—that nobody on Blue Star could beat me."

"But after seeing the Desolate Realm, and how the Human Emperor erased a Divine Spirit's will, I get it now—Star Domain Realm isn't all-powerful."

"So, I, the Reincarnation Divine Spirit, will absolutely walk the Path of Cosmic Beings."

"I, the Reincarnation Divine Spirit, am not some chill, let-it-rot, lying-down, easily-satisfied Divine Spirit!"

"What's the big deal? Getting seen, getting touched."

"For the highest realm, I, Reincarnation, can take it!"

Her voice was full of determination, but her little face still reddened, and her eyes kept sneaking glances at the Human Emperor.

*The Human Emperor's actually pretty attractive, you know.*

*Sticking with him in the future doesn't sound so bad at all.*

*As long as he's seen me all, I'll never let him go!*

"…" The Fate Divine Spirit's face froze, that suffocating feeling hit her again.

*It was like, deep down, she just didn't want the Human Emperor getting close to other women.*

*But what reason did she, Fate Divine Spirit, have to stop him from doing that?*

*It's not like she and the Human Emperor had anything going on...*

"I'm going, then."

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit clutched the towel like she was heading to her doom and charged into the bathroom.

Xiao Ye laughed.

*He could see that Reincarnation Divine Spirit was clever and mischievous, loved to mess with people.*

*But at heart, she wasn't a bad person.*

"Fate Divine Spirit, once Reincarnation Divine Spirit ascends to Star Domain Realm, she can use Star Domain Realm Divine Techniques to help you recover your memories."

"By then, you'll remember everything."

he said gently.

The Fate Divine Spirit nodded expressionlessly.

*The Human Emperor was doing all this for her.*

*Even if her heart hurt, she had to bear it.*

*Once her memory returned, she'd be able to face what she really wanted, let out all her stifled instincts.*

*To become the true Fate Divine Spirit, the whole one!*

Half an hour later, the Reincarnation Divine Spirit came out wrapped in a towel, head down so far she nearly buried her face in her chest.

"Human Emperor, I'm ready, you can come now."

Xiao Ye gave a faint smile, "Be right there."

He extracted the ancient Massage Secret Technique for altering a "body-as-seed" from the Template Adjuster.

Under the eyes of the Ancestral Empress and Fate Divine Spirit, he walked into the bedroom.
