Prologue, the Birth of the Son
A baby's cry sounded somewhere in the floating city, obviously a faint first cry, but in this noisy and chaotic war into everyone's heart, with this cry, the invisible power filled the sky and the earth in an instant, and the rules of order that seemed chaotic under the influence of the chaotic power also quietly subsided, and gradually returned to calm, while the power of the chaotic monster was constantly weakened and suppressed by this force.
Under the influence of this abrupt and unexpected factor, the evenly matched war began to quickly tilt towards the side of order, which became the last straw that overwhelmed the Chaos Monster Legion, and the war came to an early end without everyone's expectations.
···············
After slaying the last of the Chaos Monsters, the Legion in charge of the battle began to return to Sky City, and a large number of troops landed on the ground in their place, and began to transform the decaying land with mysterious and vibrant power, and began to repair the plane barriers.
And at this moment, in a floating city in the center of the Sky City Agglomeration, which is obviously more majestic, a slender figure wearing a white robe and exuding a radiant glow like a goddess stands at the top of the tower, looking at the vast land that is desolate but gradually regaining a trace of vitality, the delicate and sacred face has no sorrow or joy, and the jewel-like clear eyes are flowing with endless kindness and wisdom, only the corners of the mouth are pouting with a trace of inexplicable and alluring smile.
Twelve figures dressed in purple and gold robes and hoods stood neatly behind her on both sides, each of them had a faint majesty beyond heaven and earth, just a trace of breath leaking from time to time was already like an abyss, no one could doubt that their bodies contained vast and boundless power, but such a figure stood aside with a natural attitude, willing to serve as a foil, respectfully setting off the brilliance of this woman.
"Kailar, what do you think about this incident?"
After a long time, the silver-haired woman turned her gaze back and whispered to a handsome man beside her.
The man bowed his head slightly and replied to his opinion with an elegant gesture: " Returning to Helen's crown, according to the experience below, the previous rule fluctuations should have come from the short-term outbreak of the divine fire, combined with the specific situation at the time, it must be that there is a divine adaptor born with the divine fire in our legion, that is, the birth of the natural son, I have to say, this is a special case that is rare once in thousands of years, and I am quite surprised in the next, and from the point of view that it can produce an impact of this scale when it is just born, I am afraid that the level of this divine fire must be extremely high, and it is likely to be a specification level above the level of the upper gods。 ”
Hearing this man's answer, everyone present couldn't help but look surprised, obviously a little surprised, and even some people were whispering and sighing in a low voice, and the scene was a little uproar for a while.
No one questioned his judgment, although this "Divine Hermit" Kairal was only a mid-ranking legendary mage, and his strength was only medium among their group, but he also had extraordinary attainments in the field of divine arts, and had participated in the cultivation and composition of gods more than once, in this regard, no one could question his authority.
The news of the Born Son born from the divine fire with the specifications of the superior gods cannot be taken calmly even with the experience of legendary mages, or rather, it is precisely because they know more than ordinary people that they are even more surprised by this.
"Oh, it looks like we've had a lot of luck this time. ”
The woman who was revered as Helenway smiled, showing a rare expression of interest, and the scene immediately returned to tranquility - because the style of that smile was so beautiful and dazzling that it instantly robbed the only remaining color in heaven and earth, and no one dared to disturb it.
At this moment, a cold and mysterious female voice rang out in the space of the tower:
"Lord Helenway, in response to your summons, the Head of the Seventh Knights of the Guard: Andrea Bauhinia Elvis, and the Fourth Deacon of the Holy Mountain Secret Service: Albert Nightmare Trafeld, are already waiting for your summons at the foot of the tower. ”
"Ask them to come up. ”
"Yes. ”
With a promise, the spirit of the tower teleported the two callers to the top of the tower, and the powerful eyes of all the powerful people involuntarily looked at the two couples with different temperaments, like a light and a dark, standing together and looking a little discordant, but more eyes were on the baby in the woman's arms.
The young woman with blonde hair and purple eyes, a delicate and beautiful face, and a calm and resolute temperament, as if she was as moving as a silver moon, walked to the middle of the tower with a baby in her arms, knelt down on one knee to Helenway, and shouted in a deep voice: "Lord Helenway, see Andrea, the leader of the Seventh Knights of the Guard." ”
The man with black clothes and black hair and a grim face beside her was different from her, he just bowed respectfully, stroked his chest and saluted: "You are the eternal radiance, the master of time and space, the leader of hope and truth, it is the honor of my life to be able to bathe in your glory!
As the deacon of the Holy Mountain, he does not belong to the jurisdiction of Helenway, so he can't directly call her an adult like his wife, this is a title that only direct subordinates can make, as for those legendary mages, although they are actually Helenway's subordinates, their identity makes them nominally equivalent to Helenville at the peak of the legend, and they don't have to claim to be subordinates, so they still call Helenway crown, which is the privilege of legendary mages.
Helen nodded to Albert, then waved her hand and said softly to Andrea, "Get up, Andrea, I'm very sorry to summon you when you just had a normal birth and needed a break. ”
The radiant light fell on Andrea's body, and the incomparably warm power instantly expelled the last trace of fatigue in the resolute female knight's body.
"Please don't say that, your subordinates are afraid, as your knights, your subordinates should be at your disposal at any time, your will is the direction in which we are going. ”
"Thank you for your loyalty, Andrea, do you know why I summoned you?"
Hearing Helenway's question, Andrea looked down at the baby in her arms with a complicated expression, a trace of struggle and uneasiness flashed in her amethyst-like clear pupils, and she lowered her head and replied: "I don't know, is it related to Wu'er?"
Helenway nodded, and Kailar on the side had already explained for her in a timely manner: "Captain Andrea, you must have realized that the child you just gave birth to is the Holy Son of the Divine Fire who was born with the Divine Fire, and is the best candidate for the Divine Fire, his Divine Fire is of extremely high standard, if you cultivate it diligently, it may only take a few hundred years to achieve the Divine Personality, hold the Divine Throne high, step into the realm of the Gods, and become an important force in our Holy Mountain to fight against chaos and manage the order of the plane." ”
Hearing his explanation, Andrea's heart tightened, and the look on her beautiful face couldn't help but darken a little, and her husband Albert, who was guarding him, couldn't help frowning on her cold face - although gods are an incomparably tall and majestic word, as a member of the Holy Mountain Alliance, they clearly know the price they need to pay to become gods and the meaning behind them.
The current gods are different from ancient times, the gods created by the mages are more like a tool of high status, their most important duty is to maintain the operation of the law of order, which means that they must be absolutely just, ruthless and desireless, abandon their own thoughts and human nature, no dreams, no likes and dislikes, and no future they want to chase, they only have a powerful power comparable to the legendary level and eternal life that coexists with the law, and a lonely and lofty divinity- With such a lonely attitude, living forever like an unintentional tool is actually unimaginable endless torture for ordinary people.
For a newborn child who has not yet experienced the beauty of the world, such a future is a little too cruel.
Helenway's benevolent eyes caught the struggle between her eyebrows, and she sighed in her heart, but still asked, "If you already know what this means, then I have to ask you about your choice, the Holy Mountain will not be ungrateful for the sacrifices you have made, if you are willing······"
"Your Majesty Helen!"
Before she could finish speaking, Andrea had already been interrupted with a cry of pain on her face, and at the same time knelt down again, only this time on both knees, although she did not say it explicitly, but her position was already clearly stated.
This slightly rude behavior made the mages present a little unhappy, but what made them even more unhappy was her selfish attitude that seemed to them to be a little ignorant - in their eyes after countless years, it was just sacrificing the unpredictable future of a newborn baby, Yu Gong could add a rare combat power to the Holy Mountain Alliance, and Yu Private could exchange it for the Holy Mountain's rich rewards and compensation, there was really nothing to consider, but the superficial woman in front of them wanted to refuse, which was really incomprehensible to them.
As a member of the Holy Mountain Alliance, she didn't even have such an awareness, no wonder she was obviously favored by Helen Wei, but she still failed to break through the transcendent realm and advance to the epic knight, after all, her qi was too small.
A legendary mage with a long beard had even shouted angrily: "Bold! A mere extraordinary knight, who is fortunate enough to be the head of the Knights of the Guard, have you ever thought about how much favor you have received! Now you are not willing to make a little sacrifice, are you worthy of the promotion and favor that His Majesty Helen has given you?! As a member of the Holy Mountain Alliance, you should contribute to the Holy Mountain when it is needed! I advise you not to mistake yourself because of a little personal affection for your children!"
The anger of the legendary mage is not something that ordinary people can bear, even if it is an extraordinary powerhouse, it is far from qualified, in the face of the old man's reprimand, Andrea's expression became more and more painful, but she stubbornly pursed her lips without saying a word, and tightened her hands holding the baby, as if she was afraid that someone would take him away from her arms.
Unlike the other mages' opinions, Helenway's expression did not change, she waved her soft fingers to stop the old man's scolding, and looked at her knight and said softly: "I know, you can rest assured, since this is a choice made by you as a mother, I promise that no one can force you to make changes, get up, Andrea." ”
Hearing her reply, the old man couldn't help but want to hurriedly persuade: "However, Helen Wei is ······."
Helenway interrupted his speech with another wave of her hand, she glanced at everyone present, and said in a soft but unquestioning tone: "Everyone, our duty is to guide the correct development of civilization, maintain order and stability, and accumulate strength from the endless dimensional civilizations to stop the erosion of chaos on the major planes.
The sea of chaos is boundless and boundless, compared to which even if all the planes are united, it is insignificant, in order for civilization to survive, it is indeed necessary to enhance its own strength as much as possible, but this does not mean that we can use the way we force others to make sacrifices to achieve our own means, everyone here is a legend of legends, with their own legends and pride, presumably you will not put down your body to embarrass a mother and daughter, right?
No matter how powerful the gods are, they are only our creations, and although it is a pity to have one less, it is not indispensable, so can we not achieve our goals without the sacrifice of this child?
The honor of the Sacred Mountain of the Fortress has never been based on sacrifice, and I hope you will remember this. ”
At this moment, the prestige of the legendary peak and half-step sage really showed a hint of it, and the dozen or so legendary mages present all bowed their heads and humbly accepted the teachings, and no one dared to object.
Receiving Helenway's promise, Andrea wept with joy, and the resolute woman thanked her heartily: "Thank you for your kindness and kindness, Lord Helenway, I will follow you to the death in this life, and do everything to repay your kindness!"
Helenway smiled gracefully, "I never doubted your loyalty, my knight. ”
Then she whispered, "Andrea, may I hug our little hero?" I think he must be a lovely little fellow. ”
Naturally, the knight let go of her embrace, and the infant flew forward under the invisible force.
Helenway gently reached out and gently took the baby in her arms.
It was a chubby boy, with some fine black hair on his head, and his mother's purple pupils full of innocent charm, and he looked curiously at the elegant and holy woman who was holding him, and for some reason, smiled very happily.
For the newborn baby, this little guy was a little too lively, and the little pink hands naughtily stretched out from the swaddling clothes, dancing to catch something, but in the end they had to land on the towering Jade Girl Peak on Helenway's chest.
He didn't look like a newborn baby, but considering that his parents were both powerhouses in the Otherworldly Realm, there was nothing surprising about the baby's current size and appearance.
Looking at this lively and active little pink life, Helenway's eyes full of endless wisdom flashed a trace of inexplicable brilliance, she teased this little guy with a clever smile, while her fingers stroked his forehead, the mysterious power flashed and was imperceptible, but it seemed to have passed through the barrier of space, and followed the trajectory of time to a trace of fate in the underworld.
The legendary mages who sensed this were shocked, recognizing what kind of power was unleashed in this frivolous act:
Above the legendary spells, one of the supreme supreme dharmas, the Great Prophecy Technique!What did Lord Helenville see in this child's body, and actually use it with her own hands to explore his future?!
"Look, what a cute little guy, I seem to see infinite possibilities in him, but unfortunately the interference of the divine fire has blurred his fate, but Andrea, maybe one day in the future, he will be able to prove that your choice is not wrong. But before that, I think he needs a little help to get him safe······"
Halfway through speaking, Helenville had already stretched out her Qianqianyu and pointed it at the little guy's forehead, a little fluorescence seeped into it from her fingertips, and the slight power set off a faint and amazing spell fluctuation.
For her behavior at this moment, even the legends were not calm, and couldn't help but stare directly at this ignorant child, with a look of jealousy in her eyes.
She was just baptizing this baby as a newborn and opening up his soul talent, which is something that every child has to go through in the plane under the management of the Holy Mountain, of course, being baptized by the existence of Helenway, a half-step sage, will definitely have its differences, and they can now see that Helenway not only opened up his soul talent, but also opened up his spiritual consciousness sea, and imprinted a lot of knowledge into his mind······ All of these made him fortunate to have the basic conditions to become a mage, and also allowed him to stand at a very high starting point in one fell swoop.
At the same time, the divine fire in his body had also been channeled into the depths of his sea of consciousness, so that no one would be able to easily discover the divine fire in this child's body.
In fact, these are not the reasons for their jealousy, no matter how good a child's talent is, there is nothing to envy for those of them who are already almost at the peak of mages, what really makes them blush is the meaning of Helenville's baptism for him.
You must know that the work of baptizing children can be completed as long as they are official mages, which is one of their jobs, but it has a different meaning for powerful mages, generally speaking, not to mention legendary mages, even mages who have reached the transcendent realm will not help children baptize casually, because at their level, baptizing children often means that they are willing to form a further relationship with the child, such as his godfather, mentor or even relatives!
This kind of relationship sometimes even accompanies the child's life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can affect the trajectory of his life, and it is precisely for this reason that the more high-status families and forces are, the more they will want the high-level spellcaster to baptize their children, which is not only about face, but also in line with practical interests.
And Helenway is one of the thousands of legendary mages in the Holy Mountain of the Fortress Realm who is most likely to step into the pinnacle of the Sage Realm! Even ordinary legendary mages must look up to it, I don't know how many strong people want to have a relationship with Helenway, however, this thing that everyone dreams of is being done by this ignorant little guy first!
How could they, the legendary mages who had sharpened their heads and were lucky enough to be able to come to Helenway's side to be dispatched, not be jealous?
It's a pity that Helenway didn't care about their thoughts, and after doing all this, she reminded the couple again: "Now that the Divine Fire has been hidden in his spiritual sea, it should not be revealed until he completely activates the Divine Fire, but it is still possible for a legendary-level powerhouse to see that he is special, and the environment of the Holy Mountain is not suitable for his growth, you need to make arrangements." ”
Listening to her reminder, the couple with very different temperaments glanced at each other, and the husband Albert saw her reluctance and worry in his wife's eyes.
Of course, they understood that the Holy Mountain of the Barrier Realm, as a transit station for thousands of planes, was also the last bastion against the erosion of chaos, and its affairs were cumbersome, and it was in a tense situation all the time, so there were clear regulations that members of the Holy Mountain were not allowed to bring their relatives unless there were special circumstances, and most of the members of the Holy Mountain Alliance were entrusted to the care of their family relatives and friends in their respective planes even if they had children.
Moreover, as the supreme holy place of countless civilizations, the Holy Mountain has concentrated countless top powerhouses, even the existence of the legendary realm is by no means uncommon, where the particularity of their sons is easily exposed, in the holy mountain where there are many factions, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be high-level beings with a radical attitude to discover the hidden divine fire, and they can't expect everyone to be as merciful as Helenway at that time.
Taking him away from the Holy Mountain was an inevitable choice, but what worries Andrea is where exactly should she place him?
Bring back the family?
The Bauhinia royal family, which dominates an entire high-level plane, can indeed give children a perfect environment for growth, but they have combined with their current lover against the wishes of the family, and have left the family for many years and have not returned.
And her husband is only from a civilian background, and he has been alone until he met him······
Albert saw his wife's dilemma, and after thinking for a moment, he took the lead and replied: "Thank you for Your Majesty's concern, I will apply to the Holy Mountain for transfer, leave the Holy Mountain temporarily, and take the children to find a stable place to live." ”
Andrea worried: "Albert, this ······"
"It's okay, trust me, I'll take care of our children, don't forget, I'm a deacon on the Holy Mountain. ”
Helenway nodded, "That's good." ”
The position of the deacon of the Holy Mountain already has a long time to go out on a mission, and their comprehensive ability is enough to deal with any difficulties, so it will not be a problem for him to take the child away, she no longer said more, but instead asked with a chuckle, "Does this little guy already have his real name?"
"My son, my son was born prematurely, and we haven't had time to name him yet. ”
"In that case, you don't mind if I come and choose a name for him, do you?"
"Thank you for your kindness!
"Hmm~, I want to think about ······"
Helenway pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's call him Latis, which represents the meaning of 'transcendence' in the magic text of Faona, hoping that one day he will be able to surpass his innate limits and walk out of his own extraordinary path." ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her jade finger and stroked the little face of the baby boy in her arms, chuckling and teasing, "What do you think of this name, little one?"
It looked like it was just a joke of talking to herself, but no one saw the smile that flashed in her eyes as she stared at the baby, and the inexplicable and good-natured banter that contained in the corners of her flirtatious mouth.
Under such a gaze, the seemingly innocent and ignorant, lively and active baby boy suddenly became honest, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes that children would never have at this time, and the little hand that grabbed Helenway's chest was also secretly retracted······
Wu Yue: "Damn~, Lao Tzu may be the earliest traverser ever discovered, right?!"
················
