905 The Hidden Truth About Their Past
Elysia and Elena then decided to tell the truth of their past to those willing to entrust their lives to them both. It all began with life on Earth and ended with the transmigration to Vrelenia.
The mystery was there. Elysia and Elena hoped to find an answer and the reason.
“…” Elysia fell silent after telling her life story and everything about her on Earth. She looked at everyone with a feeling of uneasiness because she didn’t know what was in everyone’s mind.
It was like trying to trust everyone by confiding in her secrets; she hoped to be trusted in return. That way, she could tie their lives with her without burden.
“This is a truly mind blowing life story, Ely. Earth Mother may know something about Ali, but not about Ely. That explains all of why you are not in the line of Earth’s destiny. However, I think the greater secret lies hidden in her. Earth Mother must know something about you more than anyone. I would bet that you have reincarnated several times with different entities and identities.” Fortuna was a bit confused because there were still some missing factors, but Elysia and Lina were still clueless about that. They had no memories more than Ali’s story.
“Woah, is that a reincarnation and transmigration story? You were a man once, Ely? A girl trapped in a man body. How fascinating, I want to know more~” Sylvia’s eyes glistened with curiosity.
Elysia’s story was so exciting and enchanting, far exceeding her expectations. Yet, that was still the first part of the whole life events because she could guess it wasn’t Elysia’s first reincarnation!
“Don’t you find it strange?” Elysia still felt a bit nervous.
“What’s so strange, Ely? The divine can take any form. Perhaps, your previous life was Earth’s will, and the universe returned the situation to the way it should be? Look, you came to Vrelenia and met all of us. Earth is not a place where you should be. We’re twin sisters now.” Ai nodded in understanding. She finally knew the whole story about her little sister, Elysia.
“Wait, wait… So, Sylvia was actually the one who killed Alisha, and indirectly Elysia too? However, Elysia survived the death door and… This is so complicated, why did the universe send your soul in the form of Alisha? Did you are actually a separate entity? But, your previous body vessel is just temporary? Look, your spirit is similar, just a counterpart, but also a compliment to each other.” Nell held her head in confusion as she looked at Elysia and Ai.
“Hm, that’s interesting. We might actually be one entity. Ely was a part of me that was lost and strayed to Earth, and we are now back together, but two spirits. Hey, then what about Lina? She was the one who was always with Ely from a previous life.” Ai looked at Elysia and Lina alternately.
“I am Ely’s guardian angel. We shared our fate together. You never know how many lives we’ve lived through. Our memories are still sealed, and we can’t reach them even if we try.” Elena put her hand on her upper chest.
“Erm, can you revoke your disguise magic or return to your original form first? I often feel confused because it’s Ely, but it’s actually Lina inside.” Ai scratched her head.
“Sure, but we’ll be back in disguise after this.” Elysia didn’t mind.
She then changed her natural spirit form back to Elysia while Elena activated an innate skill to change Elysia’s body to the Goddess of Light’s form. They could switch forms between each other without magic, and that made those who understood once again shocked.
“Apparently, our guess was wrong… Your destiny is more complicated than we ever assumed.” Lifa put her hand to her chin and sighed.
“What do you mean?” Elena raised her eyebrows.
“I’ve discussed this with Earth Mother. I got the answer, but it turns out we’re not completely right. Let’s collect some facts that have been proven true first.” Lifa took a deep breath, then let it out slowly.
She then outlined some facts, then described the conjectures and predictions about Elysia, Alisha, and Elena’s situation.
Elysia was a divine spirit, and Elena was Elysia’s guardian angel, also a divine spirit. After Elysia dead on Earth, Elysia and Elena were freed from their temporary unidentified mortal vessel to be transferred to Vrelenia by universe law because the time was ripe. Ali’s death on Earth was also preordained, to be sure.
Alisha was Elysia’s other half in this world. However, tragedy struck Alisha. Alisha’s spirit got lost in the Boundless Realm when the two divine spirits entered the mortal body.
This situation made Elysia’s divine synchronization fail, and Elysia’s mortal body failed to fully transform into the celestial body, but it gradually evolved and became half-divine. It was Elysia’s current body, with a fatal flaw and weakness.
The big question that lingered was Elysia and Elena’s true identity before living on Earth. What kind of situation had forced Elysia in the past to split her existence in two before entering samsara.
Many undiscovered mysteries, including Elena’s origins as Elysia’s guardian angel.
“That’s an interesting speculation and analysis, Tifa. It also makes sense and there are elements of truth in it. However, it’s still not enough to lead us to the overall truth.” Elena stroked her chin.
“Yes, that’s what I thought.” Lifa heaved a subtle sigh. She couldn’t say a few things right now because it wasn’t the time yet. She would let time show the truth.
“Somehow, I feel like your situation is being manipulated by someone. Not just the universe, but a superior entity. Perhaps, Sera’s class or higher? I mean, this makes no sense.” Nell voiced her confusion.
“Could it be, we sealed our own memories? Or, are we really dancing on the palm of the absolute one? We can’t know anything from here. Everything is still a mystery and shrouded in the gray mist.” Elena sighed.
She had expected this, but she was glad there had come up with some plausible theory that might actually be true.
“Ely, if we really are a single existence, would one of us perhaps disappear?” Ai suddenly asked with a solemn expression.
“Whatever the outcome, I don’t want you to leave me. It’s fine, no one will disappear. You are not Alisha, but Ai, my big sister.” Elysia held Ai’s cheek.
“Mmm.” Ai just nodded in understanding, then glanced at Sylvia. Everyone then stared at the devil princess as well.
“E-eh, ahaha… Why is everyone staring at me?” Sylvia laughed awkwardly while rubbing her head.
She then couldn’t stand the pressure from everyone’s stares. She rushed to Ai and Elysia and kowtowed. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to kill you back then. It was just humans attacking me for no reason! Please don’t punish me. You already know this, right, Ely?”
“Mm, I already know everything. But, what do you think, Ai?” Elysia did not want to blame anyone for the tragedy.
“Hm, I don’t care. I barely have memories of myself. However, you did kill us once, Sylvi. What are you going to do to compensate for our deaths? Do you think simply giving your life to us is enough?” Ai suddenly entered her Void Empress mode. She acted superior and looked down on the girl prostrating before her.
“If that’s not enough, then I will serve Ely! I serve the light, and Ely is my Goddess.” Sylvia raised her head.
“Hou~ Then, you will offer everything?” Ai crouched down and held Sylvia’s chin.
“Mmm!” Sylvia nodded repeatedly. She knew she would be kicked up if she ran away from this situation. So, confirmation was the only option since she would be considered guilty because the fact she killed Alisha and Elysia could never be changed.
“Well then. You are no longer yours from now on, but us. Ely, Lina, we’d better now perform the sacred spirit connection ceremony.” Ai patted Sylvia’s head and stood back up.
“Fufu, nice~ I feel excited. Ely, Mama Luna will try her best to protect you!” Luna raised her fist.
“…” Elysia didn’t know what to say. Luna wasn’t her mother, but she couldn’t keep forbidding Luna.
‘Ely, please return to the Elysian Realm. You need to take over your body first to perform the sacred spirit connection ceremony. We’ll switch roles again later when it’s all over.’ Elena sent a telepathic spirit.
Elysia nodded in understanding and immediately entered the Elysian Realm. Elena also came back, and Elysia immediately took over her body. She also changed her form back to Elysia.
‘Are you feeling relieved, Ely? Our dear friends don’t mind about our past life. Some of them are even interested and enthusiastic to know us better. They want us to share our stories more, but that’s enough for now.’ Elena chuckled lightly at the implied meaning behind her words.
‘Mm, I feel relieved. This way, I no longer have any worries or regrets. They are one of the best blessings that I can meet in life.’ Elysia breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at her friends.
“Ely, I’ll be the first. Establish a spirit connection with me and connect my life with you like Vann and Yuuki. We will save the world and explore the vast universe to uncover the secrets of our past together.” Ai held Elysia’s hands enthusiastically, but she kept staring at Elysia’s abdomen and below. She wished to place her spirit mark in Elysia’s root base than the other spot.
“Ai, thank you. Let me know when you’re ready.” Elysia smiled happily. She then spoke to Lifa via telepathy to ask about the seven chakra spots.
“I’m ready anytime.” Ai nodded a little.
“I will guide you if necessary. The technique is the same as when you establish a spirit connection with Yuuki and Vann.” Lifa came closer to guide Elysia.
Elysia then pressed her forehead to Ai’s. She sent a permanent contract to Ai and connected it to her spirit for the bonding ritual. Ai’s spirit mark formed on her base root chakra spot, and Ai’s life was now connected to her.
The two of them then opened their eyes, looking into each other’s eyes in reverie. The golden light still enveloped them, but a mysterious satisfaction somehow filled them.
For some reason, they felt complimented, and the inexplicable missing parts had been filled.
