Great Love Immortal Venerate: Why are all my fairies yandere?

Xu Yuan opened his eyes and was surprised to find that what lay before him was not the grand hall he was familiar with but a dark space.

"Where is this?"

He narrowed his eyes and looked around, but he couldn't feel the presence of anyone else.

"Here lies the dwelling of the Four Divine Spirits."

An ancient and vicissitudinous voice sounded as if it knew what was on his mind.

"The Four Divine Spirits."

"Indeed."

This time, the ancient voice seemed to carry an overlay of echo, then diverged as if a tree branched into four limbs, becoming the voices of two men and two women.

"The flow of scenery fades quickly, but the inherent fire endures."

"The eyelashes continue to fall, yet hearts remain united in perpetuity."

"Humans and demons, no longer shall there be days of mutual fondness."

"Human, for what purpose do you come seeking?"

As the voices separated, lights of blue, white, purple, and red blossomed in front of Xu Yuan, condensing into silhouettes.

"Is it for cultivation?"

As the voice spread, an Azure Dragon Spirit Shadow stretched out its body, coiling in the air.

"Is it for slaughter?"

The black-striped white tiger took a threatening leap, astonishing in its vigor.

"Is it for true nature?"

The bright red Vermilion Bird spread its wings wide, the light of fire glittering brilliantly.

"Or is it for virtue?"

The Xuanwu, composed of snake and turtle, watched with an indifferent gaze.

Xu Yuan looked at them and asked, "What's the difference?"

"There certainly is a difference."

The Azure Dragon swam up beside him, "Although traditionally, each Divine Emperor has the right to control the Four Divine Beasts Formation, the path to royalty is ultimately distinct. Hence the question. Your choice will lead to different levels of access to the Formation we will endow to you."

"Oh?"

Xu Yuan looked at them expressionlessly, "So you mean to say, you will not be entrusting me with all your power?"

"Of course not."

The Azure Dragon Spirit Shadow held its head high with enormous pride, "My Innate Divine Ability combined with the acumen of the most superior Formation masters of the human race, boy, do you comprehend the magnitude of such power? Even though the power has dwindled to a mere shadow of its former self, this force could still obliterate Dawn City countless thousands of times. And were it to be controlled by some malevolent being, wouldn't that be most dreadful?"

"You speak truly."

Xu Yuan nodded in agreement.

"However, since it's me, you needn't worry about that issue."

"Oh?"

The Azure Dragon Spirit swam upwards and looked down upon him, "How so?"

"I am certainly not one of these malevolent beings."

Xu Yuan stated indifferently, "Have you not noticed that I am different from the previous Divine Emperors?"

"Now that you mention it, indeed."

The fiery-red bird shadow nodded slightly, "The aura of your bloodline doesn't seem to belong to the Divine Emperor lineage."

"Exactly."

Xu Yuan seized the moment, eager to deceive them before they could realize, for he could tell that these Four Spirits seemed oblivious to the world outside, "It's precisely because I am so selfless that even the current Divine Emperor, Jing Lixue, feels inferior in my presence, and thus she has sent me to inherit the power and save Dawn City from the brink."

"Is that so?"

The Xuanwu's four murky eyes spun around as though it was pondering for loopholes.

"Or perhaps it's because you've slain them."

The white tiger stopped mid-sentence, shook its head, and dismissed its own suggestion, "No, that's not right, the Jing Family's bloodline is still strong and vivid."

"It seems then... you are indeed a true good person."

The Azure Dragon Spirit mused for a moment but then vigorously shook its head, "No, the rules regarding access to the Formation are fixed, and we must abide by them. However, you need not worry too much; even with four answers, the level of access bestowed will vary from person to person."

"Is that so?"

Xu Yuan, who had been ready to forcefully take what they would not give willingly, upon hearing this, could only sigh out of resignation and abandoned the thought.

"Well then, which one do you choose?"

Either the recent conversation had moved the spirit or for some other reason, the tone of the Azure Dragon Spirit Shadow had softened. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire

"These four... do they differ?"

The Four Spirits looked at each other and then all shook their heads, "We apologize, but we are not permitted to inform you."

Xu Yuan's eyes flickered with suspicion, not believing their claims. If it were truly something they could not disclose, as with previous rules, there would be no need for them to consult each other's gazes.

He earnestly said, "To be frank, esteemed ones... Dawn City is now at a critical juncture of life and death. At this very moment, within the palace, members of the eight great Sects are staging a coup, and I have been entrusted by the current Divine Emperor, Jing Lixue, to obtain the Power of the Four Divine Beasts and thus rescue Dawn City from dire perils. If possible, I hope you could assist me."

"What?"

The Four Spirits looked at each other, "But what are these eight great Sects? The girl didn't mention any of this when she came to claim ownership."

They don't even know about that?

Jing Lixue had already taken ownership of the Four Spirits Formation?

Two thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xu Yuan was struck with surprise.

It seemed that the Four Spirits were indeed unable to sense the outside situation.

"It's complicated to explain, but now, Dawn City is on the verge of destruction."

Xu Yuan knew the more he spoke, the more likely he was to make mistakes.

"This..."

They looked at each other once again.

After a moment, the Azure Dragon Spirit Shadow spoke slowly, "Considering that you are the first outsider to receive the inheritance, I will disclose some matters to you."

"Your understanding is much appreciated, great Azure Dragon."

Xu Yuan's spirits lifted.

"The so-called four choices are in fact akin to four tests. Should you choose me, the range of cultivation-related Formation access you receive will be somewhat increased."
