The sudden appearance of the Heavenly Happiness Token made Zhou Wen immediately realize something
When Emperor of Shang gave him the Heavenly Happiness Token, he didnāt say anything. He even gave it very casually as though it was nothing important. However, ever since Zhou Wen obtained the Heavenly Happiness Token, what happened around it made him vaguely understand that it was definitely important.
Just the characteristic of allowing a Calamity creature to stay on Earth was extremely terrifying.
On Earth, other than humans, all creatures would be forced to leave Earth for the universe once they advanced to the Calamity grade. If they stayed, they would definitely be suppressed by the rules or they would seal themselves. Only by weakening their strength to below the Calamity grade could they stay on Earth.
The most direct example was the antelope. A strong fellow like the antelope was definitely at the Calamity grade, and it wasnāt an ordinary Calamity-grade. Its usual cultivation was always in a sealed state. Even if it was heavily injured, it didnāt dare release its strength.
With the standards of humans now, if Calamity creatures could stay on Earth, how was it possible for humanity to survive? Earth would have long been ruled by the dimensional creatures.
Now, the Heavenly Happiness Token was dazzling. Streams of light circulated in euphoria. It was like a red lantern hanging above Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi.
Booā¦ Booā¦ Booā¦
The bee continued using all its strength as it kept blowing the suona. As the suona music sounded, the light on the Heavenly Happiness Token intensified. Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi couldnāt help but turn towards the Heavenly Happiness Token.
āXiao, why do I find this scene a little familiar!ā Jiuyang, who was standing by the side, frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him.
Xiao said with a strange expression, āIf Iām not wrong, what they are doing now seems to be a tradition of ancient times.ā
Jiuyangās eyes lit up when he heard Xiao. āThatās right. Thatās right. Itās a kind of traditionā¦ Whatās the name of that tradition againā¦ā
As many traditional customs had already vanished in the Federation, much less Jiuyang, who was born in the Holy Land. He only occasionally read some historical information, so he didnāt have a deep impression of it. He couldnāt recall it immediately.
āPaying respects to the heavens and earth,ā Xiao said.
āThatās right. Itās a ceremony to pay respects to the heavens and earth done during weddings in the East Districtās ancient times. Thereās no mistake about it. I chanced upon it when reading. The music that used to be played seems very similar to the music played by the beeā¦ How should I put itā¦ Itās festiveā¦ā Jiuyangās expression turned odd. āBut this is too strange. A Companion Beast born on a distant planet actually knows the tradition that few humans know of. It even wants to force Zhou Wen to pay respects to the heavens and earth with a dimensional creature. This is too bizarre. What does it want? Is this really about paying respects to the heavens and earth?ā
āI donāt thinkā¦ itās wrongā¦ā Xiao looked at Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi in thought.
āIf I remember correctly, there are a total of three steps. First, paying respect to the heavens and the earth, then paying respect to the ancestors. Finally, both husband and wife will pay respect to each other. After that, they will be sent into the bridal chamber for consummation to be truly considered husband and wife andā¦ā As Jiuyang spoke, he heard the beeās suona turn loud and profound. The entire suona was raised by it as it blew into the void with all its strength as though it was paying respects to something.
With the suona sounding, Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi couldnāt help but kneel towards the Heavenly Happiness Token and slowly kowtow.
Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi had naturally heard Xiao and Jiuyangās conversation. Zhou Wen didnāt find it strange at all. The Heavenly Happiness Token was something that dealt with marriage. For it to appear, Zhou Wen refused to believe that it had nothing to do with marriage.
Zhou Wen didnāt have any feelings for paying respect to the heavens and earth. Even if he really did so with Tsukuyomi, the Heavenly Happiness Token-invoked nuptial didnāt mean anything Ignoring the fact that both of them were forced, even if they werenāt, it wasnāt difficult for modern people to get a divorce.
What Zhou Wen was worried about was why the bee was doing this. What benefits would his marriage with Tsukuyomi bring to the bee?
Wait, could it beā¦ Zhou Wen thought of a possibility and felt his scalp tingle.
The Heavenly Happiness Tokenās ability was very likely not just carrying out a rite. Otherwise, it would be useless for such a divine artifact to be created just for a nuptial.
If the Heavenly Happiness Token had a more specific use, it was very likely that this effect would allow Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi to enter the bridal chamber. It was even possible that they could directly conceive.
Recalling the guess that the bee wanted to parasitize him, Zhou Wenās back was already covered in cold sweat. He increasingly felt that the bee wanted to parasitize their descendants.
Typically, humans and dimensional creatures definitely had incompatible reproductive organs, but something like the Heavenly Happiness Token was very odd. It might have a special effect to break through such restrictions.
The more Zhou Wen thought about it, the more terrified he became. He tried his best not to kneel, but his body involuntarily sank. He couldnāt stop it at all. All he could do was delay it a little.
On the other side, Tsukuyomi was also struggling with all her might, but it didnāt have much of an effect.
āNo matter what it wants, I wonāt let something you donāt like happen,ā Tsukuyomi suddenly said. Her tone was odd as though it was filled with determination.
Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi knelt side by side. Upon hearing her voice, he could only use the corner of his eye to look at Tsukuyomi. He saw her expression turn apodictic as a strange force was brewing in her. āYou have a solution?ā Zhou Wen was delighted. Since Tsukuyomi still had powers to use, they might be able to escape their present predicament.
āYes.ā Tsukuyomi nodded.
āThen quickly use it. I canāt hold on any longer. If you donāt use it, Iāll really kneel down.ā Zhou Wen was delighted when he heard that as he hurriedly urged Tsukuyomi.
āYou donāt have to worry. Iāve said it before. No one can force you to do something you donāt like in front of me.ā As Tsukuyomi spoke, the force in her body intensified. Her entire body was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
Zhou Wen suddenly felt that something was amiss. He realized that blood was beginning to seep out of Tsukuyomiās eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. The strength in her body was expanding as though it was about to explode. āWhat are you trying to do?ā Zhou Wen hurriedly asked.
āThe Heavenly Happiness Token can forcefully facilitate a marriage, but marriage is ultimately between two people. As long as one of them dies, the Heavenly Happiness Token will naturally be uselessā¦ā Tsukuyomi said.
āYou are self-destructing!? Stop!ā Zhou Wen immediately shouted.
Tsukuyomiās strength showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it swelled even more. It was as though moonlight was seeping out of Tsukuyomiās skin, making her body turn crystalline. Energy surged in her as though she would immediately explode. āIāve said it before. As long as Iām around, no one can force you to do something you donāt like.ā Tsukuyomiās eyes were resolute, but she revealed a smile on her face and slowly said, āThis is all I can do for youā¦ Take careā¦ā
