AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic Vol 1 to Vol 4

Volume 4 Chapter 16

Just as Tian Cheng closes her eyes—

(That unpleasant bastard...)

Long Hua mutters this within his head, and—

"...?"

Without saying a word, Long Hua leans towards Tian Cheng, and hugs onto her.

If the Tai Xuan Emperor increases the sensory feedback of her vessel, she would be astonished to feel how cold Long Hua's body temperature is. This sort of body condition is very much akin to a cold-blooded reptile.

Raising an eye within the dreamscape, the Tai Xuan Emperor asks—

(What's this? Feeling the need to have a woman comfort you? I figured you'd be completely disinterested in activities like this now. ...Especially so after that incident in your previous life.)

Seeing this to be a good opportunity to raise Long Hua's affection gauge, the Tai Xuan Emperor has her vessel lean its cheek against the top of the former's head, while caressing his face like a loving mother.

"...What incident?"

(...The contract forbids me from talking.)

"..."

Finding comfort through the vessel's artificial body temperature, Long Hua feels a sense of drowsiness beginning to overcome him.

Acting spoiled like this, admittedly, even Long Hua finds his current behavior odd, however—

"Qie, imagine living under the impression that you are a human—to the point of it being the most natural thing in the world; what if one day, you suddenly find out that you are actually an object instead?"

(...Hm? Is this related to your curse?)

"I suppose."

Thinking for a bit, and organizing her thoughts, the Tai Xuan Emperor answers—

(My race... We... Our way of life is very different from what you are accustomed to. Our flesh and blood bodies—beyond the Nascent Soul realm; it becomes one with our souls. As a result of that, we were able to constantly swap our vessels; this made it so that we had all the time in the world to cultivate. ...Hmm, no. I suppose this doesn't really answer your question, does it? Maybe I should start over from the very beginning?)

"I'm listening."

As Long Hua tightens his hold over her vessel, the Tai Xuan Emperor pauses for a brief instance, and without breaking character, she says—

(The world that I came from, it's called the Earthborn Elementals' Realm.)

In the very beginning of the Earthborn Elementals' Realm, planets were made from a combination of water and earth, greenery as a result of this was commonly seen.

However, the technology of the Earthborn Elementals' Realm was constantly progressing at a frightening rate.

In fact, the rapid advancement of technology had become a central part of immortal cultivation for this world, and this ultimately resulted in the creation of "Spirit Technology," or simply Spirit Tech for short.

For the denizens of the Earthborn Elementals' Realm, their cultivation methods were focused mostly on their souls, resulting in them coming into possession of divine senses that surpassed other races by a great margin.

Due to their possession of a powerful soul, and equally powerful divine senses, it became common practice for this world's denizens—to swap their bodies out for new ones, as a means to reach equilibrium with the previous two traits.
