Heaven, Earth, Me Chapter 1

In the boundless expanse of Heaven and Earth, high above a continent covered in snow, a colossal battle raged on. Space twisted from their fierce collisions, and blasts of energy could shatter entire mountain ranges. The man and woman locked in combat had once shared love as partners. Yet now, they fought with lethal intent.

The woman radiated a cold, killing aura that drove all creatures to kneel and beg for mercy. Her hair flowed straight and dark as a moonless night, resembling a cascading waterfall. Silver light shimmered in her eyes, enchanting with a single glance before freezing the soul with the next. A sleek, beautiful tail covered in black scales trailed behind her.

She commanded the moon overhead, unleashing strikes that could freeze even the fiercest flames forever, while half the stars heeded her will, raining down on the man like meteors.

The man emanated a majestic, transcendent aura that compelled all beings to bow in worship and fear. Tall and strikingly handsome, he possessed wavy raven-black hair. Golden light filled his eyes, warming the heart with one look and offering security with another. A grand, alluring golden tail extended behind him.

He wielded the sun above, countering her icy assaults. The remaining stars answered his call, shielding him from her relentless barrage.

The man yelled, “I’ve already told you that I didn’t betray you! It was the Supreme Elder who leaked the location of our family!”

The woman sneered and replied coolly, “So what? If you hadn’t shared our most sacred secret and cultivation techniques with others, would they have dared to attack? They wouldn’t!”

The man flinched involuntarily. Seizing the moment, the woman unleashed a massive moonbeam at him. *BOOOM!* He barely blocked it, but the explosive force that leveled mountains hurled him thousands of kilometers away!

Once he halted his flight, pain—not from wounds, but from his beloved’s ruthless strike—twisted the man’s face. He pleaded desperately, “Even if that’s true, haven’t we avenged ourselves!? We—”

The woman flashed before him in an instant, silencing him with a devastating tail whip across his face. Space quaked, and he spun through a mountain with blood dripping from his mouth. Her scream scattered the clouds. “WE!? HOW DARE YOU LUMP YOURSELF IN! Without me storming ahead, would you have lifted a finger!? YOU WOULDN’T! Even if I died fighting them, I’d have died content with revenge, but you interfered, letting some escape and halting my self-detonation! BASTARD!”

Vast moon energy and plummeting stars swirled into a vortex around her! As the man emerged from the mountain and witnessed it, his eyes widened in horror. He hurriedly gathered the other stars, merging them with sun energy for defense.

Yet even as he braced for her strike, he shouted frantically. “You, you, you! Change’er, do you want to obliterate this entire continent!? End this insanity! Why can’t you see I did it all out of love for you! We can rebuild our family!”

Pain stabbed Change’er’s heart, “Tai Yang… Even if that’s true… We can’t go back to how things were after all this. Our family is destroyed. Our powers are halved from what they once were. This attack will leave me crippled.”

“If you truly love me… Don’t block this strike, and I won’t block yours. Let’s meet in our next life.” For the first time in their duel, she smiled—a tender expression brimming with gentleness, like moonlight watching over the night.

Tai Yang channeled energy, eyes shut in agony. Rather than argue, he smiled too, evoking the warmth of a fading sun—signaling day’s close. “Sure, my love. Let’s meet in the next reincarnation.”

They condensed their powers into singular points, cracking surrounding space, then unleashed them. The beams passed with mere hairsbreadth apart, piercing each other’s chests. An apocalyptic blast followed, as if inverting Heaven and Earth.

Eons elapsed since that world-shaking clash; continents drifted, ages turned. Precisely 999,910 years on, a wonder unfolded in a remote corner of the world.

Joyful laughter echoed everywhere. The source was a stunningly beautiful woman. Her straight raven-black hair cascaded past her firm, rounded buttocks, while her red eyes glowed with commanding crimson light. At 173cm tall with a lithe frame, she exuded refined elegance.

She stood nude atop a mountain, a intricate formation beneath her drawing in energy directed toward what appeared to be her womb.

Using ancient script discovered in a hidden, primordial tomb and her terrifying talent for comprehension, she devised a single-use method to conceive by immersing in sun, moon, and starlight.

Though her affinities didn’t align, a miracle occurred! Just as hope faded, two intangible energies entered the formation, fusing and devouring all sun, moon, and star power to spark life within her!

“At last! The text says to meditate, absorbing these energies for the fetus… How long? I hope not a century. Just kidding, hahaha.”

She gazed toward the horizon where an army banner rose thousands of kilometers distant. Her deep cultivation let her discern it clearly.

“Hmm… Probably those relentless Moon Empire folks; can’t they pause their war with the Sun Empire for even a year? Anyway, time to meditate. Gotta raise my little lover right, fufufufu.”

Indeed, this eccentric woman aimed to birth a child without her essence or blood, nurturing them (gender irrelevant) as her future mate.

As Tatyana settled into trance-like cultivation, a soul from another realm arrived on a mission: swap with the male infant’s soul and reincarnate.

Apparently their reward for vast karma earned in life. Without hesitation, it plunged toward the expectant mother’s womb!… Only for a lovely, pale hand to seize it.

Her gorgeous red eyes now blazed threateningly at the foreign soul. “Tell me, little soul, how dare you try stealing my baby, hmm?”

The soul writhed, empowered by some enigmatic deity. But her spiritual force crushed it, suffocating even its ethereal form! “You’ve got plenty of energy… Ideal nourishment for my child.”

Smiling, she shredded its memories and identity, breaking it into bits to feed her baby gradually. Unbeknownst to her, this merged the two potential infants into one unique being…

“What to name them… Yally? Bagoga?”

She frowned. Names had never been her strength… “I’ve got years to decide, no rush!”

After erecting a hiding formation nearby, she sank into deep meditation to hasten time’s flow. “Set an alarm to wake me a year before birth.”

89 years later…

She checked the elapsed time, blinked, then blinked again. “I, Tatyana, was only joking about a hundred years. Who knew…”

Gazing at her swollen belly, she caressed it tenderly with an anticipating smile. “One year to go—let’s build a home for the baby. Where to… Moon Empire sounds good. Any empire works. Surely the war’s over by now?”

Destination set, she stored the formation in her spatial ring, boarded a boat-shaped artifact, and vanished from the spot.
