[Lord Host, we might have to leave sooner this time]. Bai Lixin was gazing at his son, who was playing with Haizi, and S419M’s long-lost voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
The originally smiling expression faltered as Bai Lixin asked, [Leave as soon as possible?]
[You shattered the Pseudo-Lord God’s mirror image, and he already knows of your existence. We must find the last fragment as soon as possible.]
Bai Lixin looked through the glass doors of the garden into the living room and said, after a long time, [Yes, I know. But will this awaken Dijia’s soul fragment?]
[It will, lord host. The soul fragment was awakened on the day your child with the Lord God was born.]
Bai Lixin looked away from the man on the couch and toward his son.
This child’s appearance had been an accident; he originally intended to use a false foetus to confuse the pseudo Lord God. But even he had not expected that this body, which could nurture life, would actually get pregnant!
He had travelled through nine worlds to find Dijia, and in almost every one of them, he and Dijia would end up in each other’s company, end up happily ever after, and then leave. The time would be both long and short, hundreds of years long and decades short. During those long years, he came with a purpose each time and left with no regrets.
This was his and Dijia’s child, and probably the only one he would have in this eternity. Thousands of years later, this child appeared like a gift.
He wanted to give birth to it without hesitation when he first knew that his body was indeed bearing a life, even though the conception of a child as a man was absurd to him.
In this life, there was a child with his and Dijia’s blood flowing through him, and he might be their first and last child.
When he and Dijia leave this world separately, no matter which world he goes to in the future, whether he can return to the real world or follow Dijia, the thought of having a life in a certain world made him indescribably emotional.
His expectations are simple. He won’t ask this child to shine, have to pass on the family line, or take care of him in old age. He just wants to witness the growth of the life that he and Dijia created.
[How long do I have? ] Bai Lixin’s eyes softened as he looked at his son with a flash of reluctance.
[Lord Host, you have a maximum of twenty years.]
Bai Lixin nodded gently. [Okay, give me a little more time, S419M. I will leave the day this child passes his bar mitzvah.]
[… All right, Lord Host.]
That night, Bai Lixin uncharacteristically took his son, who had his own room, and placed him between him and Hallyvette.
That night, the boy slept with a special sweetness with his parents.
After the child had gone to sleep, Hallyvette spread his arms and took Bai Lixin and the child into her arms. He leaned across the child and whispered into Bai Lixin’s ear, “Why did you bring our son to bed with you today?”
Bai Lixin lowered his head and kissed his son’s forehead and chuckled softly, “Hallyvette, have you noticed that our son has grown from such a small one to his current size? Time is like running water. In the blink of an eye, our son may have grown up. Look down and take a good look at this boy. Look at his hand. It is already as big as the palm of my hand. ”
Hallyvette’s golden pupils looked deeply into Bai Lixin’s eyes as he watched him take their son’s hand. He slowly brought his over, wrapping it around them both. “We’ll accompany him as he grows up, baby.”
Time passed, and a dozen years later, Bai Lixin sent his son home to Haizi’s home after his bar mitzvah.
That night, Bai Lixin drew his soul out of the world and back into the vast void.
When his consciousness returned to the void, a giant black flower appeared before him. The flower was budding but had not yet bloomed, but the full, thick flower could already be seen from the slightly blooming petals.
At that very moment, S419M’s voice rang out in his mind, [Lord Host, Lord God is reshaping his body.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Lord Host, for collecting the Lord God’s soul fragment X1, mission completion level S, and gaining 30,000-dimensional points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Lord Host, soul attributes have been raised to S-rank by 75%]
[As of now, 11 of the Lord God’s soul fragments have been successfully collected. Only one more soul fragment remains to be collected completely. Please continue your efforts.]
Bai Lixin was silent for a moment, listening to the numbers that were getting closer to the completion of the mission and felt a bit reluctant to part with it.
[What is this?] In the end, Bai Lixin did not say anything more but looked at the flower that had suddenly appeared in this void and asked hesitantly.
[This is a Black Blossom, Lord Host. This is how the Lord God is reshaping his body. The black blossom is the incarnation of the Lord God’s hotbed. It absorbs the energy absorbed during the world traversal as a way to nurture the Lord God’s body.]
[And where is Dijia?] Bai Lixin looked around his pitch-black surroundings and slowly walked up to the black blossom. He reached out to stroke his hand along the wall of the flower a few times.
[ Lord Host, with the collection of souls, the Lord God’s soul has gradually fallen into a deep sleep. He is fusing the soul fragments and waiting to return to this world.]
[So I can’t communicate with Dijia right now?] Bai Lixin asked in surprise as his hand stroking the black blossom wall paused.
S419M said, [Yes, lord host. Do you have any questions? I hope I can answer one or two for you.]
Do you know what Chaos is? Or the god of love? Is it true that I am Eros, as the pseudo Lord claims?]
[You are not Eros, Lord Host. I do not know why the pseudo Lord God would say so, but I have seen the God of love and the soul contained in that body is not you. As for Chaos, in my understanding, Chaos is the origin of the universe. Chaos is great darkness, and out of that darkness, the universe was created. Along with three thousand worlds, gods, and people.]
[Why did the pseudo Lord God say that Chaos was the original God?] Bai Lixin continued to ask with a frown.
[The Pseudo-Lord God’s statement is not necessarily wrong; the universe arose during ancient times when neither gods nor humans existed. The theories on Chaos were written in the divine world later, semi-mixed with speculation. But the pseudo Lord God may be deceiving you. After all, as cunning as he is, he would not tell you the whole truth. He even said that you are the God of Love! How could I fail to see that your soul is not even half similar to the God of Love’s soul? I have told you everything I know. Perhaps the Lord God knows better, so you can ask him after all twelve fragments have been collected and the Lord God has completely awakened?]
[S419M, how did you take care of the aftermath of Dijia and I left the last world just like that]
[Please rest assured, Lord Host. I slightly modified the memories of the people that night your souls left the world. I made them think that you two died of gas poisoning.]
[Gas poisoning? How is that possible? Doesn’t the house have central air conditioning?]
[Ahem, lord host, don’t worry about such small details. Although there may be some discrepancies, the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind about your deaths is gas poisoning.]
[Then our child…]
[That child is growing up in good health under the care of Haizi and Yakel. Please be assured. With the death of Hallyvette at the helm of the Lambert family, your son, with the help of Yakel and Haizi, quickly took over the reins and became a worthy successor. He has since fallen in love with Haizi’s omega son and has lived a happy life, and your bloodline with the Lord God has been passed on. Congratulations, Lord Host; it’s a very happy ending.]
Bai Lixin breathed a sigh of relief on hearing that the child had lived a life free of worries. He had originally feared that his departure would be devastating to the child, so he had purposefully kept his son in close contact with Haizi during his time in the world. Fortunately, his and Dijia’s departure did not affect the child’s happiness.
Although he could not see his son marry and have children, it was enough for him to know that the child had a happy life.
With the last regret gone, Bai Lixin took another look at the huge black blossom suspended in the air and said, [Let’s go to the next world.]
[Yes, Lord Host. I will now try to locate where the Lord God’s soul last fragment is. The transmission process will cause a strong squeezing sensation. Please bear with it.]
[Ding, Lord Host’s soul transmission has entered the countdown, 5,4,3,2,1,0!]
As S419M’s words fell, Bai Lixin’s consciousness broke out of the darkness. The huge black void had a point of light in front of him, and he entered the transmission trajectory.
The transmission trajectory was constantly radiating with images of events from different worlds and times, ancient, western, and godly worlds, images that swiftly swept back as he shuttled forward, and he could only get a few glimpses.
Suddenly, Bai Lixin’s eyes suddenly went wide as he saw a very familiar scene.
It was an image of a tall man with an angular face and a young man. The tall man pressed the young man to the bed and did whatever he wanted, while the young man beneath him had a stoic look on his face.
The image flashed by, but Bai Lixin’s eyes were scarlet.
Xia Houchun! How dare you do that to my royal brother? Xia Houchun!!! I will kill you with my own hands!
The scenes were still sweeping backwards, but the speed had slowly decreased.
Bai Lixin could feel that his body was slowly moving towards an image that had already appeared. Right in front of him, several images flashed rapidly.
[This is the world you are travelling to this time, Lord Host. When we arrive at the mission world, the system will scan for the most suitable body for you to fuse with. Please close your eyes as the system will perform a soul transmission]
Bai Lixin then nodded, [Okay.] The images in front of his eyes flipped quickly. Bai Lixin shot another glance at the film-like images before he closed his eyes.
[Ding, you have reached the mission world, the soul fusion…… Ding! Ding! Ding! Warning, warning, warning! The system has been attacked by powerful energy during the descent and is unable to lock onto a suitable physical body.]
[DING!!! Warning, warning, warning! The system will enter hibernation within the next three seconds. To protect the host’s soul from harm, the system will send the soul into a random body for preservation! Please..host…hold…]
Sharp system prompts rang out in his mind, and Bai Lixin suddenly felt a huge impact on his body. It was as if he had been slammed into some crevice.
For a moment, Bai Lixin felt violent shudders through his brain before he lost consciousness.
[Lord Host, we might have to leave sooner this time]. Bai Lixin was gazing at his son, who was playing with Haizi, and S419M’s long-lost voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
The originally smiling expression faltered as Bai Lixin asked, [Leave as soon as possible?]
