Chapter 55 Martial Soul Cai Wenji, Qin Wuyou's Melancholy
Looking at the creator god Xihe before him, the mysterious youth continued to speak.
"Xihe, I have one more request."
The young man's words brought Xihe back to her senses.
"We're friends, so please feel free to speak."
The young man nodded and said.
"After dealing with Griffin's mental pollution, I want to take Little Wenji for a tour of this universe."
"If possible, I would like to borrow your divine status for a while—"
Creator God: Xihe thought for a moment and then said.
"Given your background, you shouldn't need to use my or Griffin's divine power. I presume you're doing this for Xiao Wenji?"
The mysterious young man nodded, admitting it.
"Yes! That's exactly what you said."
"Due to certain special circumstances, I need the power of the Creator God to transform Xiao Wenji into a true human being —"
All living beings: "Huh???"
"To transform Cai Wenji into a real human?"
The conversation between the mysterious youth and the creator god, Xihe, is truly baffling.
Isn't Cai Wenji just Cai Wenji?
Why would a young girl say such a thing?
Could it be that Cai Wenji wasn't actually human?
All living beings rest their chins on their hands —
All living beings ponder —
All living beings are lost and confused.
So that's why!
Riddlers and such, you'd better get lost!
Tian Dou City, Qin Mansion.
"Sigh! This is a long story."
"And who would have thought that Cai Wenji was one of the perks Qin Wuyou received as a time traveler—"
Qin Wuyou picked up the teacup again, blew on it, and then drank it all in one gulp.
As a time traveler, he naturally possesses his own unique advantages.
In the world of King of Glory, Cai Wenji is a core reward in the newbie gift pack, bound to the player and becoming something similar to a martial spirit.
Unlike the martial soul awakened by a Soul Master, Cai Wenji is more like a special vessel that coexists with his soul.
Cai Wenji has her own consciousness; she can cry and laugh, act coquettishly and make a fuss, but she can never break free from Qin Wuyou's power and thus achieve true independent existence.
"In truth, the ending is good—"
Qin Wuyou put down his teacup, gently stroking the rim with his fingertips, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.
Perhaps it was to repay her for helping to resolve Griffin's mental pollution, or perhaps Xihe genuinely liked Cai Wenji.
Not only did they agree to his request, they also readily gave him the Creation Godhood and the Divine Punishment Godhood.
Therefore, the relationship between the four of them is closer than that of relatives.
Xihe and Griffin treated Xiao Wenji as their own son and diligently taught him how to control the power of divine punishment.
Those two shared their knowledge generously, without holding anything back.
Of course, even though Xihe and Griffin, having lost their divine status, were no longer the creator gods and gods of divine punishment, their strength had not decreased much.
Images appeared again on the celestial screen, and Xihe's voice reached the ears of all living beings once more.
"In that case, I will bestow upon you the Creator Godhood and the Godhood of Divine Punishment."
"Little Wenji is still young and can only inherit my divine status as the creator god."
"And you, you can only choose Griffin's Godhood of Divine Punishment."
Without the slightest hesitation, Xihe agreed to the mysterious young man's request.
Just as Qin Wuyou thought, the Creator God is the Creator God, and Xihe is Xihe.
Without her divine status as a creator goddess, Xihe may no longer be a creator goddess.
Even without the title of creator god, Xihe is still the powerful Xihe who stands at the pinnacle of the universe.
Losing her divine status was not something that Xihe could find difficult to accept.
Moreover, to resolve Griffin's mental corruption, it is necessary to strip away the divine power of divine retribution. Given this, she has even less reason to refuse.
Moreover, in order to create the universe, and for Griffin to protect it, the young couple also wanted to unload the burden they had carried for countless years and find a secluded corner to live a carefree and ordinary life as a couple.
"For us, divinity has long been a constraint."
"Finding a suitable person to entrust this to is a good thing for both of us and for this universe."
Xihe's voice was full of relief.
She turned to look at Griffin beside her—he had long been tormented by mental pollution to the point of being unrecognizable to his own family.
There was no trace of disgust in Ke Xihe's eyes; the majesty of the creator god had faded, leaving only an unyielding tenderness.
All living beings: "Huh???"
"No, sister, you're agreeing already? Those are the titles of Creator God and Divine Punishment God!"
"They just give this away like that? Are there any gods in the world that generous?"
"Exactly! Either of those two divine essences would be enough for the strongest beings in the entire universe to fight tooth and nail for, but the Creator God just gave them away without even blinking an eye!"
"And what about that corrupted Griffin? Wasn't he mentally unstable and unrecognizable to his family? Has the Creator God, acting on behalf of the God of Divine Retribution, agreed to this?"
"The Creator God's vision is indeed beyond the comprehension of us mere mortals—"
The gasps of surprise nearly lifted the entire sky.
Whether it's Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu of Wuhun City, the three emperors of Tiandou, Xingluo, and Sun Moon Empire, or the sect leaders and elders of the three upper sects.
Everyone suddenly stood up, their eyes filled with disbelief.
This supreme divine status, capable of ruling the entire universe, was given away so easily.
Envy, jealousy, and shock—a complex mix of emotions swirled in the hearts of all beings, transforming into a cacophony of clamor.
Inside the Spirit Hall, in the Papal Palace.
"Gift—a conferment of divinity and divine status—"
Bibi Dong's scarlet fingernails were almost digging into her palms, and her eyes were filled with intense resentment.
She devoted her entire life to the pursuit of godhood, enduring numerous infamy such as being accused of murdering a teacher and being a disobedient mother, traversing thorns and brambles along the way.
But this creator god before us can treat the divine status that others dream of as worthless, giving it away as soon as he says it.
Wuhun City, Hall of Offerings.
"The God of Angels—is no match for the Creator God—"
Qian Daoliu's aged face was filled with melancholy as he murmured to himself.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
No matter how shocked the living beings were, the video on the sky continued to play.
In the blink of an eye, the story of Cai Wenji's awakening and her inheritance of the divine status of the creator goddess began to play.
"Sister Xihe, Wenji is giving you a little flower."
"May you be adorned with vibrant colors and exquisite beauty, and may you be honored by the goddess of flowers."
"The red apricots bloom at dawn, and the crabapple blossoms sleep at dusk; how can we waste such a beautiful spring?"
"Flowers bloom along the path, hoping for the little flower goddess's slow return."
"Do the colorful butterflies know where spring has gone?"
"Red silk blossoms adorn the branches, like pieces of fine gauze; the garden is filled with endless anticipation."
"Flowers and people complement each other, both are of high quality."
May the flowers bloom beautifully, may stunning scenery always be there, and may every year be like this day!
After reciting the Flower Goddess's blessings, Cai Wenji skipped and hopped around.
"Sister Wenji, from this moment on, you are the new creator goddess."
Xihe gently patted Cai Wenji's little head.
