During a ritual to summon demons, Aihuas finally recalled memories of his previous life.
This was supposed to be an online game developed and operated by his own company for six years. Now, h...
Chapter 1082: Celestial Communion
All the guests who came to the wedding were shocked by this.
Almost ninety-nine percent of them have never seen fairies with their own eyes.
Fairies—also known as nymphs in Avalon—are the embodiment of natural phenomena such as mountains, rivers, springs, and forests. They are also a kind of phantom demon and a means of advancement on the path of love. Unlike witches, who possess animalistic features and thus openly express their desires, they are generally more shy and rarely appear in public. Nymphs can only be occasionally seen alone.
In the distant Taichu Empire, they were called "mountain ghosts" and there were special music used to worship gods to please them.
They were almost naked or only wore very thin and transparent clothes.
Some were tree fairies, their bodies entwined with vines laden with red berries, while others were spring fairies, shielded by flowing springs and filled with water in wooden or stone bowls. They danced gracefully, stirring up fragrant breezes.
The fairies laughed and handed red apples and spring water to the visiting guests. In the distance, there were fairies dancing, bathing and singing among the dense forests, springs and waterfalls.
The guests were flattered and accepted the spring water and fruits one after another. After they accepted these gifts, the nymphs smiled sweetly and turned into leaves or water and disappeared.
Soon, everyone had water and fruit in their hands. Those who were good-looking—both men and women—had even more fruit in their hands, and nymphs would also put the spring water that made up their bodies or the berries that grew on their bodies into their bowls.
At first, the guests were a little nervous and did not dare to eat the gifts from the fairies.
Those who knew the goods were already stunned and could no longer maintain their composure.
Because what these nymphs gave were not ordinary apples and spring water, but very rare materials - the apple was called "Fairy Communion", also known as "Fairy Fruit", and the spring water was called "Fountain of Nymphs", also known as "Fountain of Youth".
These are delicacies that only the gods can enjoy. They all have the same function, which is to prolong life.
It is not the way of prolonging life that "freezes death" like in the Dusk Path, but a way of replenishing vitality.
Eating one fruit restores six to nine years of vitality, curing any illness or disability. Drinking from the Fountain of Youth adds two years to one's lifespan and restores youthful appearance. It can restore the elderly to middle age, make the middle-aged look like a young person, and delay the aging process for the young.
These things, however, cannot be preserved through normal means. They will quickly wither away from the hands of a nymph, their potency decreasing with every passing moment. The Fountain of Youth, on the other hand, must be stored in the purest crystal bottle for a month.
Knowing they couldn't take these things back with them, they immediately devoured them, completely disregarding their dignity and reserve, fearing that a delay of a few seconds would shorten their lifespan by several days.
After they ate these things, they became younger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The back becomes straighter, the skin regains its whiteness and elasticity, the belly shrinks, the cheeks become thinner, and even the appearance has regained its youthfulness.
The other guests were all shocked, realizing what a miraculous power and gift this was. Some even tried to take the items back to their families or sell them for wealth and prosperity—only other kind-hearted people stopped them from wasting such a gift.
There is no doubt that those powerful and wealthy people who are not eligible to attend Aiwass's wedding will definitely ask for a high price for it. To them, there is nothing more important than youth and life span in this world.
Youth is gone, time passes quickly.
When the once strong body has been constrained by aging, when one can clearly feel that one's death is approaching, when the once extraordinary person has now lost strength due to the influence of the power of dusk... when one has nothing to lack, he finds that he no longer has a young body to enjoy.
This is precisely why the Son of the Moon can easily corrupt the upper echelons of various countries.
——Nothing is more important than regaining youth and achieving immortality. Even though there are many risks and controversies involved...they themselves are not unaware of the problems that come with becoming a child of the moon.
Moon Children aren't a new phenomenon, and there are many prominent figures who know that "Moon Children and themselves are not essentially the same person." Given their social circles, there are always a few close friends who know about it and try to dissuade them.
But even in this situation, even if I know everything in my heart, it is impossible to control the desire to return to youth.
This is the most unstoppable addiction in the world—the addiction to living. The better a person lives, the less they can control themselves.
And now...
Not all of those invited to Aiwas's wedding were prominent figures. Avalon had only a few prominent figures, and even fewer from other countries. They were simply Albert Lore's necromancers from the Ziggurat, or the alchemists from Star Antimony.
Although they are undoubtedly strong in the eyes of ordinary people, they are still far behind the real powerful and wealthy.
And just because they knew Aiwass, or even just chatted with Aiwass for a few more words when they were classmates, they gained at least ten years of life and twenty years of youth - that was something that the emperor of Hellassar had sent several fleets to look for, but couldn't find!
Now, it has become the "wedding candy" at the wedding...
Under this "relationship with the gods," the material world's wealth and power became ridiculous. The lifespan they sought but could not obtain was actually just something Aiwass could grant at will.
There are some smarter people among them who realize more problems:
Aiwass's ability to rejuvenate people will undoubtedly greatly shake the foundation of the Moon Child.
Although many important figures knew that the Sons of the Moon were full of nonsense and that the ritual of transformation into a Son of the Moon was tantamount to suicide; however, they would eventually lose patience one day after watching their own bodies gradually age while their former friends, colleagues, and enemies revert to their youthful appearances, and then be constantly promoted by these Sons of the Moon.
Not everyone can face aging and death with ease.
Those who made bold promises when they were young will sooner or later realize the burden of time.
And they have no choice.
The only choice is to accept the olive branch extended by the Children of the Moon.
Even if the branch is smeared with poison, it is better to be poisoned to death than to fall off a cliff.
But now... they have one more choice.
——Aivaz can give them youth and immortality without any worries.
I don't know what the cost is though...
But as soon as the news of this wedding gets out, disaster will befall the Children of the Moon.
This is exactly the gift that Aihua specially prepared.
While the guests were shocked, another guest arrived who shocked them even more——
A tall fairy holding a silver-white staff and with silver-blue hair that reached her waist as if she had just taken a bath walked slowly over, surrounded by other fairies.
She has long elf ears and an elf-like figure, much taller than the other fairies. In front of her, the other fairies are like girls, only reaching her chest.
She was wearing a translucent white robe that was soaked in water and clung to her body. She blinked her sapphire eyes playfully and approached Aiwass who was riding on the unicorn.
Since arriving in the Theocracy, unicorns have been able to walk on the ground—because they are somewhat mysophobic and dislike stepping on unclean surfaces. Unless absolutely necessary, their four legs remain suspended above the ground when outside. In the Theocracy, the ground is essentially the trunk of a giant tree, naturally clean, so there's no need for them to fly high in the sky.
"Ms. Morgan."
Having the unicorn stop, Aiwass greeted the Shadow Kingdom Queen's apostle. Then Isabel and the unicorn Pansy also greeted him.
Morgan nodded with a smile.
She glanced at Isabel's belly and gave an ambiguous smile: "It seems that the gift I gave has been delivered... Don't blame me, this is a gift from Lancelot. I am just a messenger."
"How can I blame you... I'm already grateful."
Isabel responded sincerely.
Their advancement was incredibly rapid. Without Morgan's gift, even after reaching the fifth energy level, Aiwass would have struggled to produce a child. Once they reached the fifth energy level, it was practically the same as sterilization—under the influence of the power of balance, higher energy levels made it more difficult for creatures to produce offspring, while weaker ones were more likely to reproduce.
This is also the reason why humans with the characteristics of the Nine Paths can become the most mainstream race in the new world.
Because unlike elves, who can easily lean towards a few paths and awaken extraordinary abilities, it is actually more difficult for humans with mixed thinking to become extraordinary than other races - even trolls, whose thinking is simple enough to be a little mentally retarded, have a much higher proportion of extraordinary people than humans.
It is precisely because humans have a mixed path and a chaotic mindset that their probability of spontaneously becoming transcendents is the lowest... and therefore, they are the most fertile. Any race with a greater reproductive capacity than humans lacks the adaptability to the path of devotion, and thus loses the possibility of uniting and achieving civilization.
But even humans cannot avoid the influence of the force of balance.
Having a child at the fifth energy level was incredibly difficult... not to mention that with the world's current upgrade, Aiwass was already heading straight for the sixth energy level, or even the seventh. And Isabel could ascend to godhood with Aiwass at any moment, so time was running out for them.
——Thanks to Morgan’s gift, Aiwass was able to hit the target on the first try.
"She's a healthy and lovely girl..."
Morgan stared at Isabel for a while, then smiled and asked, "Do you want another boy?"
"If there's still time..."
Isabel lowered her head shyly, thought for a moment, and answered softly.
She didn't know when Aiwass planned to ascend to godhood, so this wasn't a final word.
She didn't want her pregnancy to become a burden to Aiwass - if that was the case, it would be better not to do it.
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
Morgan said with a smile: "Having children is one of my rights and responsibilities."
Hearing this, Aiwass reacted: "Are you going to be promoted?"
While Apostles do have their own responsibilities, they're essentially a joke. They're essentially equivalent to the job requirements of an employee—they do have to do these things, but they're essentially representing the company behind them.
The only one who truly possesses his own authority and is even responsible for his own authority... is the Heavenly Official.
"Are there too many celestial officials on the path of love?"
Aiwass asked with a frown.
Apart from the Feast Heavenly Master, Shadow Heavenly Master, Mist Heavenly Master, and Blood Heavenly Master...if Morgan wants to be promoted again, there are already five Heavenly Masters.
It's too much anyway.
"Indeed," Morgan said with a smile, "so I plan to turn to the path of authoritarianism.
"While procreation is undoubtedly a right belonging to the path of love, if it is combined with the continuation of the race, it can also be connected to the path of devotion and the path of adaptation. However, if it is combined with the authority of the family, it can embark on the path of authoritarianism."
After hearing this, Aiwass understood.
It turns out Morgan is on the path of the Silver Crown Dragon!
I'd heard long ago that Arthur and Morgan had a one-night stand, and after that, the Silver Crown Dragon had been avoiding Morgan. Now, who knows what happened, but he actually turned around and accepted Morgan...
It was a relief for Lancelot that Morgan didn't chase him.
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Aiwass smiled and said, "Is it on the right track?"
"Congratulations," Morgan nodded with a smile and took out a golden apple from his arms. "This is a personal gift from me. Think of it as an early full-moon gift for the child—I might not be able to come down by then."
"Golden Apple..."
Aiwass murmured, "That is indeed a great gift."
He accepted the apple with great care.
It is essentially a kind of fairy fruit, but it is the best one.
This thing is available in all games - it is also called "ding", which means direct promotion scroll. Because a certain game once made a "ding" sound when it was directly promoted, the direct promotion scrolls after that were all called "ding".
Eating a golden apple will instantly upgrade your current path to the latest version. For example, if your current level cap is 50, which is the fifth highest level and the sixth highest level, and you defeat the Fallen Angels, your path will be upgraded to level 60, then eating this golden apple will allow you to directly upgrade to level 50 and start playing from the latest version.
Although it does not have such magical power in reality...but if it is taken by pregnant women, it can directly change the qualifications of a baby.
From the moment he was born, he had the potential to become a top-level extraordinary being!
