Chapter 02 of the short fantasy novel "Heaven to the Left".

[II] The human realm

Since ancient times, the human realm has been divided into three major royal domains: the Silver Maple King Domain, the Silver Phoenix King Domain and the Silver Flame King Domain, each of the three royal domains has a soul king to rule, the three soul kings are equally powerful, showing a three-legged trend, non-aggression against each other, so for thousands of years, there is nothing to do, peaceful coexistence, and the people are safe.

There are three soul stones in the three royal realms of the human world, which are passed down from generation to generation by the soul kings of the three royal domains, and it is said that the soul stone is the emperor of the heavenly realm who fell into the human realm, and the soul stone is heart-shaped, golden in color, crystal clear, about the size of a child's fist. The Soul Stone is not only a symbol of royal power, but also a sacred stone that activates the soul power of all the people during the 200th birthday coming-of-age ceremony.

After the soul kings of the past dynasties get the soul stone, they need to recognize the master through blood drops, and then the soul stone will be hidden in the palm of the left hand, and there is also a heart-shaped stone space about five zhang hidden inside, which can be temporarily hidden in the face of irresistible danger, and then this stone will automatically hide in the void to escape, so as to avoid pursuit. This stone is so hard that even the Soul Emperor can't break it.

This is a year-round flying silver maple leaves of the royal domain, silver maple leaves are not real maple leaves, but by the soul of the soul king condensed into the soul, the maple leaves are not big, about the size of a snowflake, the leaf shape is exquisite, vivid, slender and delicate, fluttering with the wind, landing and melting, meeting people, romantic and beautiful.

This is the Silver Maple Domain, and I am the prince of this beautiful Domain, and my name is Maple Lintian. My father named me Lintian in the hope that one day in the future, I can also reign in the world like him and continue his glory!

Originally, the trajectory of my life was also developing calmly according to his wishes, but a sudden battle in an exotic land broke all the peace! My father was 350 years old that year, and I was only 50 years old, so I was still far from the 200-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, so I was just a young child.

If forty percent of the soul power successfully activated through the Soul Stone during the coming-of-age ceremony will become a soul person, the lifespan can reach 400 years, and if the soul power cannot be activated, it will become a civilian, and the civilian lifespan is 300 years.

About every 10,000 children who participate in the coming-of-age ceremony can produce a soul, and each soul will naturally form a silver entity soul of about ten zhang from the soul power at the moment of activating the soul power, which can usually be collected into the soul, and can be released to fight when needed, and the battle between the two souls is actually a contest between the souls of both sides.

The soul of each soul person will not be repeated, but will take many forms, which can be a sword, a stone tablet, a phoenix or even a maple leaf. Once formed, each type of soul will not change for life, so it is generally called a soul in the form of a soul, such as a sword soul, a phoenix soul, and so on.

If eighty percent of the soul power can be successfully activated, it will become the soul king, and the life span can reach 800 years, and the soul king will naturally form a silver entity soul of about 100 zhang by the soul power after activating the soul power, and after inheriting the throne, the entity soul can be transformed into countless small silver virtual body souls covering the entire royal domain, so that the soul king can feel every move that happens in the royal domain at any time without leaving the palace.

Moreover, the small virtual body soul floating in the air has the effect of warming the soul and repairing the soul power of the people of the domain, which can be regarded as the blessing of the soul king as the king of a domain to the people, even for the civilians who cannot activate the soul power, it has the magical effect of enhancing the physique and curing all kinds of diseases.

When a powerhouse from an outer realm forcibly breaks into the domain, these scattered virtual souls will instantly condense into a solid soul of about 100 zhang to kill the intruder, so the entire royal domain is under the control of the soul king. Unless the Soul King is accidentally injured and loses the ability to control the soul, it is possible to be successfully invaded by the powerhouse of the Outland.

But the conditions for becoming a Soul King are very harsh, and only one of the billions of children who participate in the coming-of-age ceremony can produce a Soul King, and it must be a child with royal blood to have a chance to become a Soul King. Once a new Soul King is born, the old Soul King will give up the throne and return to the mountains and forests.

It is said that if you can successfully activate your soul power at the coming-of-age ceremony, you will become a soul emperor and reach the ultimate lifespan of 1,000 years! After the soul emperor fully activates the soul power, the soul power naturally forms a silver entity soul of about a thousand zhang, and if the soul of the soul emperor turns into a small silver virtual body, it can cover the entire human world, that is to say, the soul emperor is the real master in the human world.

If you want to become a child of the Soul Emperor, you must have two royal bloodlines or a particularly rare bloodline to be successfully activated. The three royal realms have always been in a state of hostility, and there has never been a marriage between two royal families, so it is only a fantasy that children with two royal bloodlines are just a fantasy.

Since each person can only activate soul power once in their lifetime, and after activation, it will accompany them for life, and it is impossible to activate the remaining soul power again through cultivation or soul stones, so since ancient times, no one has been able to fully activate ten percent of soul power to become a soul emperor.

But there are folk rumors that there is a soul-sucking puppet that can make the soul king's unactivated soul power be activated twice to reach ten percent of the soul power and become the soul emperor, but this soul-sucking puppet relies on forcibly absorbing the soul power of other souls to activate, and the absorbed soul will be worse than death, and the death is extremely miserable, because this method is too inhumane, it is said that the production secrets of this puppet were destroyed by several righteous soul kings tens of thousands of years ago.

In my memory, the silver flames spread everywhere for several years, mercilessly killing the living people! Silver blood spilled all over the realm, and the sky was silvery gray, and angry shouts of slaughter and heartbreaking screams pierced the sky.

In the sound of flying spirits breaking through the air, I was quietly taken away from the back door of the palace in civilian clothes, and I was taken away by the queen mother's personal guard, Sister Xuelin, whose soul was a snow unicorn.

Because the queen mother was the princess of the Silver Phoenix King Domain, Sister Xuelin took the queen mother's token and fought bloodily in this escape journey of nine deaths and sent me to the Silver Phoenix King safely, and handed it over to the soul king of the Silver Phoenix King - my grandmother.

The Silver Phoenix King Domain was originally called the Silver Shark King Domain, because my grandfather's soul was a silver shark dragon, and my grandfather and the Silver Maple King of the Soul King were both like to compete and win, and the two admired each other more and more in an accidental conflict, plus they had a similar temper, and finally shook hands and became brothers.

After becoming brothers, the two often compete in the highest lotus peak in the human world to test their soul power in order to pass the dull and peaceful years, most of the mountains of the lotus peak are luxuriant, lush, what makes people marvel is that the top of the mountain is a beautiful and huge lotus flower condensed by natural ice and snow, the flower core is a crystal clear white platform, generally the children of the royal blood of the three royal families hold coming-of-age ceremonies are held on this platform.

Unfortunately, the huge shock wave generated by a collision of the soul power of the two sides caused my grandfather to accidentally fall into a cliff and disappear, and his bones were never found. Although it was not intentional on the part of the grandfather, the grandmother drove away the grandfather who came to apologize because of excessive sadness, and it was regarded as a hostile domain from then on. And the grandfather couldn't get drunk all day long because of the loss of his friend, and he disappeared inexplicably when he went out drunk not long after.

Because my grandfather only has one child of my mother, my grandmother originally planned to wait for my mother to inherit the throne when she successfully activated her soul power to become the soul king at the coming-of-age ceremony, but the queen mother met her father who sneaked into the Yinfeng King's domain during an outing before the coming-of-age ceremony.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, the father and the queen mother all successfully became the soul king, the father's soul is a silver maple leaf, and the mother's soul is a silver cherry blossom.

After the father inherited the throne, he immediately went to the Silver Phoenix King Domain with heavy gifts to propose marriage, but unfortunately because the father was not a person from the Silver Phoenix King Domain, and he was also the king of the hostile domain Silver Maple King Domain, the grandmother was furious when she knew it, and broke off the mother-daughter relationship in a fit of anger, and drove the queen mother away, and in desperation, she set herself up as the king and renamed the Silver Phoenix King Domain, and the grandmother's soul was a very beautiful silver phoenix.

Sister Xuelin sent me to the Silver Phoenix King Domain and died of her injuries, and when she was dying, she caressed my long silver hair dotingly, and silver blood kept gushing out of her mouth and said softly: "Tian'er, grow up quickly, your father, queen mother, and people are waiting for you to rule the world one day......"

Sister Xuelin was very indifferent to others in my memory, but she always had a very doting and clean smile on me, and she was the best person to me except for my father and queen mother. After her death, she turned into countless silver snow unicorns flying in the sky, and the silver phoenixes flying in the Silver Phoenix King Domain were entangled, slowly passing towards the endless silver sky, and I sadly stretched out my little hand to grasp the sky hard, tears streaming down my face......

Soon after I was sent to the Silver Phoenix King Domain, the Silver Maple King Domain fell, and my father and mother mistakenly took the Soul Scattering Pill because they were killed by their cronies, and this pill did not feel anything after taking it and would not have any effect, and it was difficult to be discovered by the user, until the father and queen mother found out that the Silver Flame Soul King invaded and used soul power in the battle with the Silver Flame Soul King, and then found that they gradually lost control of their soul power, but at that time they were powerless, and then they were captured and secretly imprisoned by the Soul King of the Silver Flame King without resistance.

Losing the protection of his father, the Silver Maple King Domain was completely controlled by the Silver Flame Soul King, and the silver maple leaves in the sky were replaced by silver flames, and it was rumored that there was an old man wearing a skull mask who behaved strangely in the sky all day long, specializing in suppressing the soul power of the soul of the soul, and for the souls and people who dared to resist were burned by the silver flames and life was worse than death, this cruel torture lasted for several years before it subsided.

And the Silver Flame Soul King was also exhausted in this battle, and it would take at least one hundred and fifty years to fully recover. Therefore, the Silver Flame Soul King took his father, queen mother, and queen as hostages. If the Silver Phoenix Kingdom starts a war, my father and queen mother will be executed, so my grandmother is worried about her daughter's safety and does not dare to act rashly.

At present, the two sides are in a stalemate, and the day when the Silver Flame Soul King recovers, he will definitely make a comeback and forcibly invade the Silver Phoenix King Domain to unify the human realm.

Although my grandmother drove away the queen mother, she was still very worried about this only daughter, and she was very surprised and surprised by my arrival, and arranged for me to be taken care of by her in her palace. Although my grandmother is 600 years old, she looks as young and beautiful as the queen mother, but with a touch of mature charm, and she is also seven points similar to the queen mother, which also dilutes the desolation of me being so young without the company of the queen mother.

In order to cope with the war a hundred years later, my grandmother is busy with things every day so she has no time to accompany me, she is afraid that I am bored alone, and often arranges some children similar to me to come to the palace to play with me, among them there is a little girl who is the same age as me, named Lingluer, ice and snow smart, bright eyes and nose, skin like clotted fat, snow white like jade, laughing two cute little dimples from time to time, love to stick to me to play, compared to other children I also prefer to play with this quirky and lovely sister.

Lu'er's father's name is Ling Xiaotian, is a general, but also a dragon soul, I heard my grandmother say that Lu'er is not the biological daughter of General Ling, it was picked up by General Ling in a waterhole with extremely strong aura, at that time Lu'er was crying in a broken eggshell, in the sky above the eggshell countless illusory egrets flew around the heron, the egret bird circled for a while and then gradually dissipated, seeing that no one adopted General Ling's love took the heron back to the house to raise it carefully, and took a very nice name - Linglu'er. General Ling is brave and good at fighting, and he is heartfelt to his grandmother, and he has won the trust of his grandmother.

Just when Lu'er and I were living a carefree happy childhood that only belonged to me and her, there were some killers in the Silver Flame King Domain who used the Hidden Soul Grass to sneak in, and the soul after taking the Hidden Soul Grass would not be easily perceived by the soul of the Soul King.

These killers are here to find the right opportunity to assassinate me, at least to make me disappear from this world before I have a coming-of-age ceremony. Because I have the royal blood of the two royal domains, I am the child who has the most potential to become a soul emperor by being fully activated by the Soul Stone at the coming-of-age ceremony.
