My CEO Harem Cultivation System

Chapter 191 - World's Balance (2)



The actual gods were bored.

Or if the Moderator of the Creators, Peach wanted to be ultra-specific—the gods in sector 69 of the Universe were bored without their latest plaything that came in the name of Li Yang. 

They called him a CEO and rooted for him, but in hindsight, he was more of something along their amusement than anything else. There was no love lost between the gods and man. If anything, the gods desire for him to succumb to their ploys were working out quite well.

Whoever chose him as the recipient of the Harem Cultivation System actually didn\'t do a terrible job. The amusement of seeing someone do the very thing they\'ve sworn to hate and deny was a sadistic pleasure craved by the so-called god bored in their divinity and power.

Such was the trouble even with the most steadfast monk or priest, the pleasure and carnal nature of flesh often won out in the end. That was the dual-nature of humanity between the throes of love and lust. Destruction and Creation.

.

It wasn\'t as if there was anything inherently wrong with one or the other—but to Peach, it still all came to a balance on a scale. Lean more to one side and you\'ll eventually find yourself swinging in the opposite direction.

While it was a surprise that Li Yang accepted the gift of the Updated System Patch that she made… the development wasn\'t actually so bad. The Ragnarök Plan seemed plausible now that there were many individuals available to come together and gather for a spectacular event. 

"Pft, that Bao is now sharing the god vessel with Aurora—how\'s that going to turn out?" Peach asked as she stared at the screen in front of her. And yet things were starting to pick up now as far as anyone was concerned.

From one end of the universe to the other, the energy consumption used by Bao to search for the man was enormous—but a still crystal clear screen version came up in the LoveStellar Organization\'s channel to showcase it for the viewers. 

Peach organized all of the related documents and parties in order. She shuffled the parchments and then leaned back against her chair and sighed. The ending was well-nigh and the outcome seemed to be drawing closer as Bao and Aurora reached the temple.

The World of Telriah was supposedly governed by the ascended god-like entity Aurora 

Her brother, Aseroth was thrown out but promised to return once his powers

The World of Telriah, created by the two was at a stagnating state

Arrival of Outsider Li Yang prompted sudden changes in the World

"I might as well ask for some bids."

The High Priestess Rhelea stayed in the grand hall now alone, multiple incense burning all around her. Each one of them lit up and released a heavenly scent that pervaded the room as she prayed for the world and the sleeping goddess, she prayed for every woman in the world and especially those in the temple—but each one of them flickered out.

Rhelea\'s eyes widened. The incense that burned for an entire millennium suddenly ended then and there without even a hint of anything at all. 

Mashiro Temple descended into the darkness.

As to what or who came to cast the entire temple into the inky black void was to anyone\'s guesses. The first answer came towards one of the Priestesses stationed around the forest perimeter.

Tomura and Mareena were both tasked to be the watch women for the entire duration of the contest. However, it was difficult to stay awake and pass the hours without even any hint of a conversation.

The two of them kept talking.

"Hah, I wonder how Ellwyn is doing at the arena right now with all those monsters?" Tomura frowned slightly. The woman leant lazily against the wall as she looked up at the incredibly dark skies. "She should have taken the Inner Court Priestess examination a long time ago if you asked me." 

"Well, you know how the politics goes in the Inner Court—they\'re bullies and Ellywn doesn\'t fit that," Mareena said and diverted Tomura\'s attention back to her. "Plus, she\'s always looking out for us too."

Tomura tilted her head. "Like how she coddled Leila?"

"Hey!" Mareena frowned. "I mean… Leila did slap Priestess Rei and that was sort of uncalled for, but I guess… she really was just hurt and shocked? Giving a map to the Frostborne Mountain Peaks is a death sentence."

"Yeah, but that was too much. You know how Priestess Rei dotes on Leila too but then she suddenly acts out like that? Priestess Kei showed us how you got to respect higher-ranked Priestesses."

"Eh, I honestly don\'t care at all. This favoritism isn\'t really helping us at all." Tomura wasn\'t looking forward to talking about it anymore. 

Mareena rubbed her neck. "Well, we\'re nice to Setsuko so maybe once she gets into the Inner Court, we\'d be granted at least a little leeway."

Tomuraa kicked at a random stone and watched it flick away to a couple of meters ahead of them and shrugged. "Speaking of Setsuko. You know the monsters I\'m referring to aren\'t exactly the forest creatures either—I think Ixora is incredibly nasty during the tests. If she passes, there\'ll be more reasons for her to look down on the rest of us. I doubt Setsuko will care since she has a man."

"I mean, Ixora herself is probably going to be busy sucking up to the Inner Court Priestesses and the High Priestess when that happens—" Mareena stopped in her tracks.

"When that happens, what?" Tomura looked up to her friend annoyed. 

Multiple arrows stuck out in her friend\'s chest. A dark and deep color stained Mareena\'s white robes as the woman stood frozen in place. A silent and hoarse word barely came out from her mouth, spittle spewing out.

The woman tipped and fell over in a silent thud into the grass. 

"Hah…" Tomura stared at her friend shell-shocked. Maybe this was some sort of joke? The stench of blood filled her nostrils with a sickening odor. Shakily, she seized the miniature beast core-cut jewel from her robes and quickly held it up to her mouth and gasped to the stone. "There\'s intruders!"

No response came from the other end of the communication device.

Wildly looking around the entire forest for any sign of more attackers, Tomura\'s heart paced frantically in her chest. The complete darkness in the sky earlier should have bothered her earlier and yet she was distracted.

Several other projectiles flew from within the forest and lit up the trees into flames.

Tomura covered her mouth with her sleeves to avoid the fumes. She used enough Ao to cover her entire body as a layer of protection, Tomura hurtled forward to the temple\'s entrance just within sight. 

Within a few steps away from the porch, a terrible slash sounded. A head rolled over a couple of inches away from the first wooden staircase of Mashiro Temple.

The Damask Insurgent cleanly flicked the blood away from his sword and put it away. He glanced back behind him and shook his head. "Front entrance breached."
