Red lanterns hung in front of caves of all sizes. On that morning before dawn, in that winter when the sky was still overcast, a group of spirit beasts eagerly awaited the birth of the creatures they had guarded for ten years.
As the sun rose, the clear cries of a newborn baby resounded through the heavens and echoed throughout the entire world. Like the gentle murmur of sacred music, the cries were serene and blessed.
However, the smiles of the beasts froze half a breath later.
The crying was not isolated.
Two paths.
Twins!
This realization struck them like a thunderbolt, leaving all the spirit beasts breathless.
There is an ancient record in the "Records of Mountains and Seas" that roughly translates to: "When the God of Books is born, if he is a twin, the heavens and the earth will collapse."
The solution is to abandon one of them.
——
The four divine beasts, Jiao Duan, and Bai Ze immediately set up a reinforced barrier in front of the Book God's cave, keeping out those inquiring, uneasy, and fearful gazes.
In the vibrant spring, new branches and flowers quietly emerge.
Two tiny, fair-skinned babies, their skin as white as snow and their features as delicate as jade, appeared hand in hand at the cave entrance, rubbing one eye in unison. Their golden eyes, like the luster of the sky, cast shimmering sunlight upon their depths.
The light pink hair is a symbol of the book god's childhood.
Bai Ze frantically tried to rush over, "What should we do? Where should we hide? We can't let the Heavenly Dao find out!"
In that instant, listening to Bai Ze's absurd words, everyone couldn't help but agree. It was as if doing so would protect both of them.
Xuanwu frowned and suggested, "How about I take one person to the ends of the world and have the Phoenix carry us there?"
Baihu agreed, "Okay, I'll assist you and protect you." It was the first time they had encountered something like this, and he was so flustered that his hands were trembling.
"We must protect them, but the question is how!" As soon as Qinglong's trembling voice fell, a ray of golden light descended from the sky and landed on the twin boys.
At that moment, everyone present understood that Heaven had made its choice.
Choose one path, and abandon the girl.
Among these beasts, Jiao Duan was the most experienced and appeared the most composed. He quickly made a decision: "Everyone, let's wait until the new Book God grows up and we come up with a better way to protect them."
Suzaku's beautiful eyes welled with tears. "And now?"
Kakuto: "Hide the girl."
Bai Ze: "Where can we hide? The entire mountain and sea are under the control of the Heavenly Dao. Where can we escape the eyes of the Heavenly Dao?"
Jiao Duan pondered for a moment and said, "Pile of sticks number three."
The No. 3 stack is a company that temporarily stores goods, and this temporary storage period can last for as long as five thousand years.
Moreover, this place transcends the three thousand worlds.
They had to finish all of this before Heaven's punishment.
Half an incense stick's time before the barrier shattered.
A young man dressed in a black denim jacket appeared before the crowd, holding a document of moderate thickness in his hand.
The denim jacket has a little yellow duck pattern printed on the chest, and the person wearing a bright yellow hat with small wings has a human figure "three" printed on the brim. The face mask also has a cute little yellow duck pattern.
The beasts paid no attention to the strange clothes the man was wearing; their eyes and hearts were completely focused on the little girl.
"Goods number 00127, variety: Book God Baby, name: Wu Yue, owner of goods: Jiao Duan".
"Thank you for your cooperation. Next time you need to retrieve your items, please use the storage summoning talisman." The man's tone was like an emotionless machine, skilled and cold: "Note again: stored items or people will grow. The exorbitant reward has been received. Finally, I wish you a pleasant life, and until we meet again."
As soon as the sound faded, the young man wearing the little yellow duck disappeared.
But no one expected that before they could wait for the God of Books to grow up, five years later, the Heavenly Dao forcibly broke through the third pile of staffs and brought Wu Yue back.
Afterwards, the owner of the third pile of sticks spent a lot of effort repairing the damage and secretly wrote down the Heavenly Dao in his grudge notebook. This is probably why they later went against the Heavenly Dao and helped Wu Yue and others.
No matter how Heaven acts, or how terrifying the records are, in the hearts of these spirit beasts, their book god has two—twins.
The plan was formed, but the wait for the results was incredibly long.
Even though time has passed so long that everyone has forgotten history, they have never given up.
Wu Yue is fragile because she is controlled by the Heavenly Dao, her fate written on paper and engraved on a monument; yet she is also strong because there are always people silently protecting her future, hoping that she will never be forgotten.
