Chapter 921: And The World Burned

(Lian Li POV)

Streaks of electrum coloured lightning rained down around me, bathing the entire world in my judgement.

I felt an enormous sense of satisfaction as I watched the capital city levelled to the ground, the inhabitants either dying to the lightning being rained on top of them or the resulting heat and shockwave from the lightning.

A few nobodies tried to come and stop me but each and every one of them were struck down by more lightning without even getting close to me.

Some mortals had resigned themselves to their fate, kneeling down with their hands clasped together in prayer. Others continued trying to escape their inevitable fate as the world burned around them.

Such foolish creatures.

I widened the area of my Judgement and continued raining down Heavenly Lightning upon the earth, delivering death unto these mortals.

From a distance away, several figures flew towards me, some of them stopping at the very edge of where I was delivering my Judgement, leaving a handful of mortals to weave through my lightning to fly towards me.

"Let us talk with you!" One of them shouted before I could decide if I should strike them down one by one or altogether.

Feeling a little curious about what they were trying to do, I opened up a path for them to fly through safely to reach me.

The group of three men stopped a short distance away, close enough that we could talk but just far enough to show that they were wary of me.

"I am Sect Master Feng of Phoenix Sect! State your name and what you are trying to achieve by doing this?!"

Hmm… That name sounds familiar… Where have I heard it before? Oh right! It\'s that weirdo with the firebird!

That means he\'s someone of no consequence, not that I believe there\'s anyone who wouldn\'t fit that term in this world anyway.

Thus, there\'s no need for me to listen to him anymore.

I flicked my wrist at him casually, the old man raising his arms in an attempt to summon a shield but the lightning I commanded easily disintegrated both him and the shield together.

Even the two nameless humans he had brought with him were not spared, their reaction not quick enough to know they were going to die before they died with that nobody.

The group of Practitioners who stayed at the very edge let out a roar of rage, something I was not particularly amused at, so I killed them as well with a column of lightning.

I returned my attention to destroying the rest of the lands beneath me, only stopping when nothing but scorched earth remained.

Right as I cut off my Judgement of this land, another figure flew towards me, stopping to look at me in shock a few metres away.

"Oh, hello Elder Qing~ What are you doing here?" I greeted with a casual wave. I\'ll at least afford him this small courtesy.

"You… Did you do this?" He asked, pointing at the lands beneath us.

I took a moment to look below to make sure he really was talking about the lands I had just glassed before looking back at him.

"That\'s correct. Did you also want to join in? I apologise but this is my own Judgement to make, not yours."

"Wh… Why? Why are you doing this?"

"Hmm? Because this world is trash of course," I answered redundantly, wondering why he was even asking me such an obvious question. "This trash of a world that took pleasure in my suffering, what right does it have to exist?"

"Is… Isn\'t your master living here?!"

"Oh, that\'s right, I forgot about him," I mused.

I lifted my hand and shot out a bolt of lightning into the sky. That bolt of lightning flew through the air until it reached the skies above Heaven Sect.

With a thought, the lightning dropped down right in the centre of Heaven Sect, expanding a hundred million times its original size to encompass the entire mountain the Sect was built on.

Its size and power was so huge that the entire world trembled from the impact as everything within that lightning column was vaporised instantly.

Elder Qing turned and gaped at the lightning column right before the shockwave hit us, blowing him a short distance away before he could recover.

He needed a few more seconds to comprehend what just happened before turning to glare at me, "Why?! Wasn\'t… Wasn\'t your master there?!"

I giggled, "That thing that didn\'t even have memories of me? That is not my Master, he\'s but a poor imitation of Him. Just like how you are a poor imitation of Figurehead Qing."

"Figurehead Qing?" He parroted, right before I killed him with a lightning blast to his head as well.

I watched with dispassionate interest as his headless corpse fell to the ground below before returning my attention to what I was doing before.

With those busybodies out of the way, I continued my Judgement on the rest of the world, burning its entire surface in my cleansing lightning.

Anyone who tried to go against me was killed. Anyone who tried to run was killed. Anyone who existed in this world was killed.

And thus, the entire Earthen Plane burned.

Finally, I came to the village that was once my home, the only place in this world that was not yet burned.

Yes… It somehow felt right to leave this the only place that wasn\'t burned, even if there was still trash existing within these lands.

I could not explain why I felt that way, but it just felt right to stop here. And with that, my role was completed.

Right as that thought crossed my mind, the scenery in front of me suddenly shifted. Instead of the charred earth that I was looking at just moments ago, the sight of the sun setting in the horizon of the sea greeted me.

I blinked a few times, wondering what happened when a voice appeared beside me.

"Sheesh, talk about being extreme. I didn\'t think your past was something like that."

I turned and it took me a moment to remember the name of the person who was speaking to me.

"Lilith…" I croaked, my voice a little hoarse as though I hadn\'t spoken for a long while.

"Umu, at least you still remember. So how are you feeling now? I don\'t mind watching you burn an entire World again though."

I looked down at myself, trying to figure out if anything changed and, surprisingly, found that there was quite a big difference.

I felt whole again.

"Why?" I asked, feeling disbelief that it was so easily solved despite finding no relation to my problem. "And how?"

"Oh, it\'s simple really. That would have been the path you would\'ve gone if Daddy was not there. Not considering the fact that you retained your divinity of course, but still similar. I merely recreated the world in your mind and let you experience it yourself."

So I was right, it really was just an illusion… But to think I would destroy the entire Earthen Plane had Master not taken me in… How is that possible?

"Don\'t think too much about it," Lilith spoke up, as though reading my mind. "But it is true that had Daddy not taken you under his wing, you would eventually find a way to destroy your world. Which became the part that you lost and regained today. Hey, if you ever find a reason to burn this world, let me know! I\'ll join you!"

I swallowed, "Does… Does Master know about this side of me?"

"Of course Daddy knows, it\'s Daddy after all," Lilith scoffed while looking at her nails with casual indifference.

I hid my face in my palms and let out a silent scream.

At least Lilith was kind enough not to comment on it and let me suffer through my embarrassment in silence.

I need some head pats from Master…
