”This is...bad.” A light, feminine voice resounded quietly within the remnants of Yan Zaizen's heart. This voice belonged to the Unyielding Flame of Life that was refined by Yan Zaizen. Similar to how the lungs were the central hub for the Siphoning Shadow of Death, the heart was its home. When it was destroyed, 99.9% of its strength vanished just like that. If it wasn't for it's unwillingness to dissipate, it would've long since vanished.

In the myriad realms, many are ignorant of the uniqueness of each individual concepts story surrounding their creation. The two concepts of life and death have an interesting history amidst the heavens. If the white flame could be considered the heavens protector, then the inky, black shadow could be considered its destroyer. If the inky, black shadow was left alone, it could take over the entirety of heavens!

All of it.

This was not an exaggeration.

The white flame's purpose for creation was to prevent this very occurrence from happening. To forever stay stably and unyieldingly against this conceptual law that could siphon all things. Even chaotic space which, as a whole, was the embodiment of the Imperial Law of Spacetime, could do nothing to stop the Siphoning Shadow of Death from taking its essence. Not to mention, this was Yan Zaizen's concept! In comparison, the strength of the concept that originated from the Regalia was like comparing the difference between a pebble and a planet!

If left unchecked, it'll perpetually grow stronger while all others would become weaker. This was its concept and it was the only concept with such capabilities!

Unfortunately, by merging with Yan Zaizen, a gap in its abilities was now revealed. If Yan Zaizen wasn't completely killed and the white flame was weakened, the siphoning shadow of death could absorb all! However, how could the Unyielding Flame of Life purposefully end itself to prevent this from happening? It went against its very instinctual nature.

This left it in realization of the fault that could be exploited! If no one extinguishes its existence so that Yan Zaizen could die, then the siphoning shadow of death would run rampant. Unfortunately, there's no way the shadow would allow others to kill him or it!

At the moment, it had the complete advantage!

Vbroom! Vbroom! Vbroom!

Near Yan Zaizen's body, a sky-blue orb ferociously fought off the deathly aura attempting to siphon all of its existence. However, it was slowly being whittled down.

Just like the white flame and black shadow, it had its own consciousness and concept. It enabled itself to be segregated from the heavens so that it may become a king of its own! It was even being used to establish a hell altar! It could become the king of hell!!

Then, this happened.

If it could cry, it would.

”...” The white flame flickered silently. Slowly, it extended a wisp of lifeforce towards the sky-blue orb. Because the siphoning shadow of death was attempting to avoid the white flame in its wild consumption, it ignored the tiny wisp of lifeforce. This wisp of lifeforce reached the sky-blue orb and softly emitted a faint glow of pure whiteness.

”If you...keep this up...you'll die.” This was spoken in some unknown heavenly language, if anyone else heard it, they wouldn't even be able to register it on any sensory spectrum. When these words were heard by the sky-blue orb, it flickered defiantly with radiance. However, it knew the words spoken by the white flame were true. The shadow was odd, it could devour the essence of the heavens themselves, and even the hell altar couldn't resist.

”If...if we don't do something...we'll die.” The white flame sent once more.

”!” The sky-blue orb trembled slightly, a faint trace of hope could be felt from it. If this wisp was sending it a message, it probably has a plan!

”However...you'll have to decide...if its worth it.”

”...”

”...”

”If I can survive, its worth it!” Was the only response from the sky-blue orb.

”Understood.” The white flame sent over its plans, but as it did, the sky-blue orb felt a sensation of melancholy. However, in the end, it agreed. It started to flicker in and out of existence. In this state, the death law couldn't perceive its existence as if it merged perfectly with its aura. Using its strength, it silently propelled itself over towards Yan Zaizen's heart area and phased into his body like a ghost.

The only plan that could work had to do with reconstructing Yan Zaizen's heart. If Yan Zaizen's heart could be reconstructed, then the white flame could fight against death once more! However, it would be impossible to use lifeforce. The shadow wasn't an idiot by being careless. The first thing it did was siphon off all of Yan Zaizen's various energies - soul, vital, qi-essence!

The white flame was currently too weak. Without Yan Zaizen's energy reserves, it couldn't stimulate itself to regrow his heart or combat the deathly aura. However, another regalia has the possibility to do so! If the sky-blue orb were to refine itself as the base of Yan Zaizen's heart, it would allow the flame to draw upon the orbs strength as if it was Yan Zaizen's.

The drawback?

The sky-blue orb had to refine itself into Yan Zaizen's physique. However, how could it willingly accept this? The main reason why herculeans fail to refine two regalias had to do with the regalias unwillingness to accept another king within their heaven! The constant battle for supremacy would cause the herculean to die from the inside. The white flame and black shadow, however, was different. They were forced together by the heavens, and was merged perfectly! It was either they both become kings or neither of them does!

This was something the heavens would always do. If Yan Zaizen mastered just the Unyielding White Flame, it could be segregated alone, but the Siphoning Shadow of Death could never be segregated without the flame. The heavens would never allow it! For obvious reasons.

Unfortunately for the sky-blue orb, the Regalia was under the threat of annihilation. The destruction of a regalia was an inconceivable feat. One must know, they've existed as long as the heavens themselves. They were aspects of its laws! They were it and it were them! To destroy it one must first be able to destroy the heavens themselves.

Now, it was left with two choices:

Share your kingdom.

Or.
