Heaven, Earth, Me Chapter 1656. Yasenia Leaves Meditation.

Yasenia sank into her consciousness and digested her gains. She even made sure to go to the [Primordial Palace] and sit for a small moment in front of the mysterious crystals inside.

This helped Yasenia accelerate the realization and depth of her gains.

’Celestial Energy, in the end, is the origin of the cosmos.’

A unique and ancient energy that was usually impossible to control in its rawest form. Yasenia was the sole exception currently alive. Perhaps, in the past, there had been others, but not now.

Across all Heavenly Layers, only Yasenia could control this energy.

This caused Yasenia to be somewhat crude with its usage. Yes, using it in its raw form was destructive to the extreme, but it lacked finesse. Cosmic energies were violent. Be it a star, the creation of a world, a nebula’s source, or other cosmic events.... Everything was caused by incredibly violent reactions.

But was that all?

If that were the case, how could a star remain active for billions of years? How could life develop in worlds?

Within all that chaos and violence, there was balance, stillness, and a source that helped life itself develop.

So, Yasenia reached a conclusion. ’I can make Celestial Energy act as those energies it is created from. Sun, Star, and Moon Energy are only the beginning.’

She knew, she felt it in her very soul, that only now did Yasenia take the first step into scratching the true surface of what Celestial Energy could truly do.

Her eyes slowly opened, and as she did so, Yasenia almost grunted in discomfort. Her body felt... bloated. Looking down, she noticed the crown of her beautiful spirit. The gradient colored silver and golden hair with that gorgeous starlit blue strip in the middle was far too unique.

"Soluna."

The girl snuggled in her arms lifted her head, revealing a gorgeous face and those incredibly charming, unique eyes. The Sun and Moon pupils gleamed softly and with love. "You are awake, Yasenia."

Seeing that soft smile, Yasenia felt her heart race. Her face lowered, taking Soluna’s lips into hers with loving and slow movements. Soluna smiled sweetly before focusing on the tender kiss.

Yasenia sighed through her nose. Kissing Soluna was... calming. It felt as if all the energy in her body became docile. After separating her lips, Soluna gulped the pooled saliva in her mouth, her fair cheeks covered in rosy shyness. "Hehe..."

Yasenia rubbed her nose with hers, squinting happily. "Thank you for helping me again, Soluna."

Usually, this girl stayed in her Dantian, slowly but gradually becoming more and more in tune with Celestial Energy. In the first place, Soluna had been a Sun and Moon spirit. Later, she gained the Star element by merging and stabilizing inside the Celestial Energy Star. Finally, while crossing to the Sixth Realm, Soluna shed her previous shell and transformed into the sole Nascent Celestial Spirit.

Her existence, for Yasenia, was like a warm hearth. Soluna’s eyes shone with love and tenderness as Yasenia’s feelings poured into her, unrestrained. How much she loved to feel these passionate feelings? Soluna felt incredibly content.

Hugging Soluna tightly and taking a deep breath, she asked. "How long was I out, love?"

Soluna kissed her night, glossy hair. "Seven months."

Yasenia paused, separating with a confused expression. "How long?"

Soluna chuckled. "Seven months. You’ve been meditating for seven months."

Yasenia closed her eyes for a moment and then sighed deeply. "Anna, what happened after we defeated the Abyssal Human? Did it truly die or was there a problem?"

Anna, who had been faithfully standing nearby on guard for the last seven months, spoke calmly and gently. "There is nothing to worry about, Young Miss. The Abyssal Human and Orkwa Matrairch have been dealt with. After that, Lady Tatyana and the madams went outside to scout for treasures and other valuables. The original guardians used their remaining energy to open up the Secret Realm, and now it is surfacing. The door to leave has also opened."

Yasenia listened and nodded. "Let’s leave, then. Aster has already been waiting for almost 5 years. My baby was barely one year old when I left!"

Her heart ached immensely. Why did things always happen when her children were young? Yasenia was seriously debating completely sealing herself off when the next child was born and caring for them for a long time.

Soluna gently caressed Yasenia’s distressed face. "Don’t think negatively, Yasenia. Asterion is a dragon child. Just a few years is not much. You can compensate him later, right? I doubt he has changed at all after all these years."

Yasenia nodded, feeling a bit better, but the guilt in her heart didn’t disappear. That guilt slowly transformed, becoming anger. "If it weren’t because of those guardians setting the Orkwa Matriarch in front of us! We could have taken things slowly!"

The sealed orb was the one thing that forced them into the adventure. They all could feel the threat from the creature inside, so they searched for how to get rid of it, eventually reaching this place and getting entangled.

The fact that they managed to complete the entire process in around four years was already a miracle. Any other group would’ve taken decades, if not centuries. First, crossing the Death Dunes. Second, finding all the clues to create the personalized Honor Dagger. Third, the eight passageways and trials of the palace. Fourth, entering the Secret Realm and getting used to the place. Fifth, the Destiny Trial, and then the Guardian Trial. Not to mention the last and worst step, killing a monstrous Abyssal Human and its semi-immortal pet.

Resolving all of that in just four years was entirely because Yasenia’s group’s strength was absurd.

Yasenia patted Soluna’s plump butt, signaling her to stand up. Then, pushing her body up with her tail, Yasenia stood up and patted her skirt. With a wave of her hand, she stored the cultivation mat. "Let’s go find the Guardians."

Her tone was flat, but the maids and Soluna could feel that the luck of those eight had finally run out.

With quick movements, Yasenia moved outside and expanded her spiritual sense. Without the maids having to tell her, she changed direction and arrived at the home the girls had taken as a temporary residence during Yasenia’s meditation.

The girls felt Yasenia’s presence as well, and they all stopped what they were doing to welcome her back. Yasenia’s tumultuous emotions calmed a touch when she saw her girls. She smiled at them and hugged them, kissing each of them lovingly. "Sorry, I took a while."

Tatyana asked. "Are you done with your mediation?"

Yasenia nodded. "I can move now. Still, I sense that fighting will be... difficult. My body feels bloated, as if I were a bottle with too much gas inside."

Tatyana chuckled. "That’s normal. Your Intent Domain being above your Cultivation Realm is a big burden. You need to break through soon."

Yasenia had also noticed that, so she nodded. Then, she looked around and asked. "Where are they?"

The girls felt their lips twitch. Who "they" referred to was more than clear to them. None of them became merciful or gained a touch of pity toward them. So, instead of delaying, they spoke to her. "Since the Guardian Tower is now useless, they have returned to their families to act as the family heads."

Yasenia smiled coldly. "Quite carefree. Either way, is there something we should do before we deal with them?"

Tatyana nodded. "Yes. Come with us; there is a big treasure with quite a few nice treasures."

Yasenia’s eyebrow raised. "Nice treasures? That’s quite a good evaluation coming from you."

Tatyana smirked. "You will become quite happy when you see them. Our efforts here have not been for nothing."

Yasenia became even more curious and followed the group. Once they arrived at the treasury, Yasenia exclaimed. "Wow!... Wait."

Her nose twitched, her pupils dilating and thinning as she sniffed around. "This smell..."

She moved her eyes toward Tatyana, as if asking if she was not hallucinating. Tatyana smirked. "You are probably right."

"Ancient Treasures?"

Yasenia was baffled, and then delighted. Her tail wagged, her eyes turning to those of a greedy dragon. "Let’s go get them!"

Using her nose as a guide, Yasenia sprinted and flashed away. The girls only blinked once before Yasenia was completely gone. Bursting into laughter, they quickly followed behind her.

"Oh my! Oh my! Oh my!"

Yasenia looked at the eighteen super treasures in front of her, her tail wagging rapidly. "They had this kind of treasure hidden here all this time?... Wait. All this time?"

Our dragoness’s head tilted, confused. She glanced at Tatyana, who had arrived by her side at some point. "Did this unlock when we defeated the Abyssal Human or something?"

"No."

That single answer and smile made Yasenia’s happiness deflate by half, replaced by deep indignation and anger. "If we had these treasures, then...! Did they hide it?"

Her question was asked with a touch of genuine anger, making it carry the sound of a dragon’s growl. Tatyana smiled mockingly. "They forgot."

"...Forgot?" Yasenia froze, and then she laughed. "They forgot! Haha!"

The girls gulped. Yasenia was already angry at everything that happened, and now that she discovered this... Andrea, though, didn’t want Yasenia to become an unfeeling, ruthless monster. So, she hugged Yasenia from behind and kissed her temple. "Let’s deal with the culprits. Those living here are completely innocent. They have been trapped here from before the Heavenly Cataclysm, and now they’ve just gained this freedom. If you destroy everything now, isn’t that too cruel?"

When Yasenia acted in Kali’s world, Andrea didn’t intervene because she decided to not intervene in any of the girl’s worlds. Now, it was different.

Yasenia’s monstrous anger, which was about to swallow this entire Secret Realm, settled somewhat. Yasenia looked up at Andrea, her draconic pupils slowly relaxing as she sighed softly. "You are too kind."

Andrea laughed, kissing her lips softly while still hugging her from behind. "I just don’t want you to waste time with unimportant people. Moreover, think of all the karma you would bear. Are they even worthy of placing such a burden on you?"

Deep and soothing, Andrea’s voice made Yasenia’s boiling emotions settle. She looked at the others and, seeing them smile and nod at her, sighed. "Alright then."

She leaned into Andrea’s solid and soft body, closing her eyes for a few seconds to control her emotions. With each breath, the bubbling, magma-like anger transformed into a deep, dark ocean.

Her eyelids lifted again, revealing a pair of profound golden slit eyes. "Let’s get what we need from here and then fully cut our ties with this place. Asterion is waiting."

A wave of her hand caused all the treasures in the room to disappear into Garest. After that, feeling petty, Yasenia swept absolutely everything in the treasury. Only the walls were left wherever Yasenia passed.

As for the garden, Garest expanded and absorbed everything. It took around three days to fully merge the garden with the strong Spiritual Herbs. Once done, they went to get Dune’s group and then set off toward one of the Eight Families. It was time to settle everything.
