Chapter 218 – Volume 3 Prologue – I Don't Like Him
”Don't get involved?” Lilim was puzzled by the message of her mother.
Unlike Zuo Ci, she did not care about the karma tribulation or any kind of backlashes. She was already satisfied with her ten wings and her status and a being at the same peers as gods.
”Mother, you are too overprotective of your daughter. I don't care about those things anymore,” Complained Lilim, like an Asian child complaining about their parents' strict house regulation behind their back.
Lilim expanded her sense to check the world for the first time. It was not hard to see the complex thread of karma that Zuo Ci was afraid to touch.
”That thing … is kinda huge.”
Awed and shocked, Lilim rushed to see the problematic knots. In a few seconds, she reached the sky above Julu City.
The thread of karma bound several people in this city. Tong, Hua Shi, and Friday were tied together. The knots which tied Tong was in a rainbow color. It shone with bright light, yet a cloud of tainted lightning circled around it as if it wanted to mix into the thread.
The bright light signified that he was the owner of the karma thread, and his knot was already loose. As long as he were to pardon the other or the vice versa, this thread would have disappeared.
The black cloud of lightning was the hatred of the one who held the other end of the karma knot. It stopped Tong's knot from being untied so the thread could go on for the rest of eternity.
There was a black cloud on the others as well, but the majority of the cloud was concentrated on Tong.
”That young man should not be the one at fault. I'll see the other end.”
Lilim left Tong and his family alone and followed the thread to the other end. It did not take long for her to reach the other side. Above the sky of Ji Commandery, Lilim found a wandering soul of an otherworlder.
Unlike what she found on Tong's knot, the thread around Liu Ping's soul was dark and sinister. It wrapped around his soul to the point that Lilim felt like the knots could never be released. There was no other color on the thread but black.
”Wow, jeez. I thought only idiots in wuxia novels have this kind of karma. There is actually one over here.”
Lilim was astonished by Liu Ping's grudge. It was so deep that even after his memories wiped, the hatred ingrained into his soul.
”The other administrator in here … Zuo Ci, right? Damn, he's an irresponsible coward! If he wants another set of wings, he could have steeled himself and faced the karma tribulation like a man! What kind of cultivator is he getting chickened over a simple tribulation?”
As she was complaining, her black wings grabbed onto Liu Ping's soul and crushed it without hesitation.
*PUFF*
It gave out a muffled sound of an explosion as it shattered into sparkling light. The scattered light flew by the wind like ashes, disappearing into the world.
Lilim saw a large fragment of the soul dropping into the city, yet she ignored it. She believed that she had destroyed its conscience. Thus, the shattered soul could not regain its memory or influence any mortal here anymore.
*RUMBLE*
The karma thread trembled as if it was angered. At the same time, the wiggling black knots, which could not find the soul of Liu Ping anymore, merged themselves into a black ball.
The surface of the ball splitted like an eyelid, and a black eye glared at Lilim. The thread turned into a black chain with the head of a snake with one eye.
The eye transformed into a mouth, which opened wide. It chased Lilim, wanting to swallow her whole.
Lilim snorted, ”This is not the first time I've severed a karma thread this size. Don't make me laugh, little punk!”
The ten-winged devil waved her both hands and her ten [Souls of Sins] manifested from her wings. Ten female spirits appeared and surrounded the karma snake. They separated and launched barrages of beam attacks from their palms.
The karma snake screamed as it swung its black chains at the ten souls.
Seeing that their attacks were not effective against the snake, all of them transformed into ten mobile suits, which fired cannons and spirit blasters at the chain snake.
The embodiment of the sinister karma thread was shattered and disintegrated by the relentless barrages.
Lilim had a smug smile on her face as she predicted this, ”Told you, don't make me laugh.”
*RUMBLE*
”Aw, crap. The dimension …”
Alas, she forgot one fact about this world. It was still inside a fragment dimension, which was not a stable realm to sustain a battle of the immortals or any kind of tribulation.
”EEP! EEP! EEP! I FOOk up!”
*RUMBLE*
The blue sky revealed a crack as the dimension was on the verge of crumble. Lilim sweated bullets as she accelerated her brain to read a billion pages of the administration manual.
The crack continued to expand at a visible speed. Everything would shatter into nothingness in one minute.
”EEP! EEP! EEP! FOUND!”
Lilim finally found a solution to stop the breaking of the dimension. To her surprise, it was the cheat skills of all otherworlders which weakened this realm.
”Dammit, mother and all those sickening gods! You all are the cause of this instability!”
She sent her conscience into the system and began altering the universe.

The crack stopped expanding, and the rumble sounds also disappeared. The crisis was averted without anyone on earth noticing it.
Lilim wiped away her sweat with the back of her hand, and she resumed her smug V smile.
”This is how you save the universe! Will I get my 12th wing now? No? Eep, shame!”
”But, seriously, those [Law Creation] skills on those guys are the main problem. I should kill all those with the skills and get rid of the source of troubles.”
