Against the Gods Chapter 2056: “Cradle”



Hiss!!

With a sharp animal cry, a small abyss beast jumped out from the dark gorge ahead, carrying the destructive aura of a god-lord.

"Ah!" The girl screamed, and her graceful figure lightly hid behind the man: "There is a Yuan beast, Master Yun, protect me!"

Yun Che raised his hand, and a blue light flashed in his palm. The abyss beast in his sight had not yet approached him, but had already turned into an ice sculpture in mid-air.

The blue light in his hand turned into a vortex, and a light breeze blew the falling ice sculpture far away, scattering it into ice dust all over the sky.

Hua Caili timidly stretched her delicate head out from behind Yun Che, and then her eyes sparkled with a strange light, and she said with admiration: “As expected of you, Master Yun, you are amazing.”

Yun Che said half amused and half helplessly: “I haven’t had enough fun yet.”

Just a Divine Lord Abyss Beast... That's too much...

"Hee," Hua Caili's eyebrows curved and she smiled like a young girl, "I just like being protected by you."

She held Yun Che’s arm and said with some concern: “Are you really okay with your injury? Your injury that day was much more serious than mine.”

Yun Che smiled and said, “I possess the profound power of light, so my ability to heal myself is far superior to that of ordinary people. In at most another half a month, I will be almost fully recovered.”

He had to suppress his recovery speed, otherwise it would not take half a month.

Especially if Li Su took action...he would have recovered by now.

The girl looked up at him, with that undisguised admiration in her eyes again: "Mr. Yun is the only person in this world who possesses the power of light, so of course he will receive the best protection."

"But I'm recovering so slowly." She lowered her voice a few notches, revealing a deliberate weakness: "I almost don't have the strength to walk anymore."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips quietly, and suddenly threw herself on Yun Che’s back, with her pair of legs directly wrapped around his waist: “So, I still need you to carry me.”

Yun Che smiled slightly, and reached his arm back to touch her waist. With a little force, he pulled her to his front amid the girl's exclamation, and changed from carrying her on his back to hugging her: "Is this okay?"

The tips of their noses touched, and their breaths intertwined. The girl's cheeks were slightly pink, and her arms tightly embraced Yun Che's neck, and her delicate head lay skillfully on his neck.

The girl's scent was as fragrant as orchid, and her soft breasts clearly stirred his heart.

After adjusting his breathing a little, Yun Che held her in his arms and walked slowly into the foggy sea canyon ahead.

“You just mentioned the last kingdom of God you visited. I have always been curious about why the Kingdom of the Owl and Butterfly is called the Kingdom of the Owl and Butterfly. I feel that this name is not only meaningless, but also completely lacks the aura of a kingdom of God.” Yun Che asked casually.

"I heard from Father God that the word 'Xiaodie' was a name bestowed by Emperor Yuan himself. Other kingdoms of God have changed their names, but the Kingdom of Xiaodie has never changed its name. As for the reason, Father God said he didn't know. I also secretly asked Uncle Yuanhuang, but he refused to answer me and pretended that he didn't hear it."

“…” Yun Che frowned and thought for a moment, then he did not ask any more questions and continued, “Then why is your Father God unwilling to take you to the Kingdom of Eternal Night?”

"Father God said that the Lord of the Eternal Night Kingdom is a very scary and unreasonable person, and he particularly hates men. Men outside the Kingdom are not allowed to enter, and men inside the Kingdom are not allowed to leave, and they are all the lowest slaves."

"Well... that's a bit scary."

After a while...

"Sister Hua, do you know of anyone...or a family or sect with the surname 'Xia'?"

"Xia...Huh? Is there such a last name?"

"I once owed her a great favor. She used Xia as her last name... Perhaps I remembered it wrong or heard it wrong."

"Um……"

“…”

"Sister Hua?"

The breath gently caressing his neck was exceptionally soft, warm and even. He lowered his eyes and realized that Hua Caili had fallen asleep in his arms.

Without going any further, he walked to a high stone wall, slowly sat down while holding the peacefully sleeping girl in his arms, and glanced upwards secretly.

After handing Hua Caili to him that day, Hua Qingying seemed to have disappeared completely and never appeared again.

Hua Qingying naturally couldn't leave. Although several days had passed, her mood had not gradually calmed down, but had become more complicated.

She watched Hua Caili express her love for Yun Che; watched her repeatedly display a girlish delicacy she had never shown before; watched her eyes no longer have the traces of swords, but only Yun Che’s figure; watched her lose all her goddess demeanor, wishing she could hang on him for twelve hours every day...

Now, in this vast sea of fog, she actually fell asleep on Yun Che.

It was conceivable that her reliance on and trust in Yun Che was completely free of impurities and reservations.

She was the most gifted goddess in the history of the Zhetian Divine Kingdom, possessing an unparalleled beauty. She was also the recipient of all the love and hard work of the Divine Master Hua Xin and Hua Qingying...but it seemed as if all of it had gone to this man in one day.

Her emotions were so complicated that they were hard to describe and she had no way to relieve them.

She was increasingly unsure of how to deal with the ups and downs of her paintings.

“Hmm…”

With a soft murmur, the girl raised her head in a daze, her eyes filled with the haziness of just waking up.

“You woke up so soon?” Yun Che’s voice came to her ears, with a warm breath that touched her ears: “I only slept for two hours.”

Hua Caili blinked her eyes, making Yun Che’s face, which was so close to her, clearer in her sleepy eyes. She suddenly leaned forward and bit Yun Che’s lips lightly with her jade teeth. Then she slumped back on Yun Che’s shoulder and closed her eyes lazily.

“Mr. Yun, I want to hear you say that again.” She rubbed Yun Che’s shoulder greedily, and spoke in a soft voice about the request that she had made more than thirty times in just five days.

“Okay.” Yun Che responded obediently like he did every time before, saying lovingly, “I love Sister Hua the most, and I will never run away capriciously again.”

"Hee..." She smiled contentedly. She believed in promises. At least, she completely believed in the promise from Yun Che.

As long as he doesn't leave and doesn't give up on her, there is nothing to be afraid of.

“Ah.” Yun Che sighed and said in a tone that seemed to be true or false: “It seems that I must practice harder. Otherwise, if I meet your Father God one day, I’m afraid he will sneeze and kill me.”

“Pfft…” The girl chuckled and defended her father, “My father is not that scary. Although he is a god, he is actually a very gentle person. I have never seen him angry.”

That's because he is gentle to you... Yun Che complained in his heart.

“Besides your Father God, there is also the Son of God who is engaged to you.” Yun Che’s voice became heavier: “If he knew, he would definitely hate me to the core. By then…”

“Don’t worry.” Hua Caili’s little hand quietly reached into Yun Che’s clothes, and her fingers gently drew circles on his chest: “Big Head Brother is a very good person, not as scary as you say.”

“Eh…?” Yun Che questioned his hearing for several moments: “Big…head?”

He asked tentatively: "I was just talking about the Senluo God Son Dian Jiuzhi who was engaged to you. The big-headed brother you mentioned..."

"Yes, Big Head Brother is the Son of Senluo God." Hua Caili answered naturally.

Yun Che: (?_?)...

“Good… a unique name.” Yun Che’s mouth twitched uncontrollably for a few times.

Hua Caili quietly sensed Yun Che's surprise and smiled slightly. Then she explained, "Because in the past, his head was extremely large, and even his name was called 'Dian Datou'. But later I found out that 'Dian Datou' was not his real name, but his original name had been forgotten."

“Hmm? How big is it?” Yun Che was genuinely curious.

Hua Caili stood up and pointed her two slender jade fingers at a distance close to her shoulders. After thinking for a while, she moved them a little further away: "About this size."

“This…!?” Yun Che was shocked, and immediately said, “But, I clearly remember that the rumored Son of God Senluo had a gentle temperament and a very handsome appearance… Could it be that the rumor was embellished?”

Hua Caili shook her head: "No, Big Head Brother today is indeed as you have heard."

She explained in detail: "His head used to be so huge, not because of a deformity or a strange disease, but... he was born with a Great Desolate Divine Vein in his brain."

“…” Yun Che’s brows twitched violently.

Hua Caili noticed his reaction and said without any surprise, "Mr. Yun really knows about the Great Wilderness Divine Vein."

Yun Che shook his head: “This is the first time I’ve heard of the Great Desolate Divine Vein, but I’ve heard of the ‘Great Desolate Divine Body’ before.”

When he said the words "Great Wilderness Divine Body", he saw Hua Caili's lips suddenly opened wide.

Hua Qingying in the distant sky also looked suddenly fixed.

Yun Che raised his eyebrows slightly: “Hmm? I heard Master mention this name occasionally, could it be... that it really exists?”

Impossible? The four words "Great Desolate Divine Body" came from the mouth of the Ancestral God, belonging to Xia Yuanba before Xia Qingyue's "birth". Its level is so high...

"Yes." Hua Caili nodded, and her instinctive awe made her lower her voice: "I heard from Father God that Uncle Yuanhuang's body is the Great Desolate God Body."

“Oh…” Yun Che nodded, his heart filled with turbulent waves.

Hua Caili continued, "The Great Wilderness Divine Body is from ancient times, and belongs exclusively to Yuanhuang. It is an unrivaled divine body that will never reappear. It is the emperor's body that transcends everything in the Father God's mouth."

"Although the Great Desolate Divine Vein cannot be compared with the Great Desolate Divine Body, it has the same origin as the Great Desolate Divine Body. It is a miracle created by... something that seems to be called the Primordial Qi. It was originally almost impossible for it to appear."

"The abnormality of Big Head Brother's head was due to the existence of the Great Desolate Divine Vein. Since it has never appeared in the world and is completely hidden, even the Supreme God Jueluo cannot detect its existence."

"Later, his Great Desolate Divine Vein suddenly awakened, transforming him completely and directly awakening nine points of his godhood, shocking the Senluo Divine Kingdom at the time. Later, Lord Jueluo brought him to meet Uncle Yuanhuang, and only then did he know that it was the Great Desolate Divine Vein."

Yun Che listened to her carefully and said thoughtfully, “After the Great Desolate Divine Vein awakened, his appearance gradually returned to normal?”

"Yes!" Hua Caili nodded: "Now he is the leader among all the sons of gods in terms of both cultivation and appearance. In terms of appearance alone, he is only a little bit worse than you... No, it's a lot worse."

Yun Che frowned slightly: "If that's the case, why do you still call him 'Big Head Brother'?"

Hua Caili said: "When I first met him in Jueluo Divine Kingdom, I thought Dian Datou was his name, so I called him Big Head Brother. When I saw him again later, he had completely changed his appearance and became the Son of God of Senluo Divine Kingdom, so I called him Son of God Senluo."

"But he said he preferred me to call him 'Big Head Brother', so I kept calling him that."

Yun Che reached out his hand, cupped the girl’s cheek and gently rubbed it, then said with a serious face: “From now on, you are not allowed to call him like that.”

"Huh? Why?" Hua Caili puffed up her cheeks and asked in confusion.

Yun Che said: “With that appearance, what he encounters is often not pity, but ridicule and bullying. Therefore, the word ‘big head’ must represent the pain and shame that he is unwilling to look back on or mention.”

"But between you two, it is a special memory imprint... and a unique intimacy." He rubbed her cheek again: "Do you understand?"

Hua Caili blinked her eyes, and suddenly smiled with her beautiful eyes curved: "I know, are you...jealous?"

“Eh?” Yun Che was stunned: “Who taught you these two words?”

"Grandma Lingxian." The girl answered. Seeing that he did not deny it, she smiled even more happily: "Grandma Lingxian said that only when you like someone very much will you be jealous of him. Since Master Yun doesn't like it, I will never call him... that name again."

She leaned forward and pressed her cheek against Yun Che intimately: “From now on, I will only call you brother, okay?”

“Of course… hm?” Yun Che said with a smile: “Although in terms of age… if you don’t mind, then of course I don’t mind either.”

Hua Caili said seriously, "You have never asked me my age. Indeed, if you had asked me before, I would not have been able to give a true answer."

She looked at Yun Che and confessed without reservation: “I am actually much younger than you, so I should call you brother... but you insisted on calling me sister.”

"???"

Hua Caili’s beautiful eyes were clear without a trace of impurities, which made Yun Che even more confused and puzzled.

The name "Colored Glass Goddess" has existed in the abyss for at least thousands of years.

How could...

Hua Caili naturally understood the confusion in Yun Che's eyes: "I was born 10,070 years and 6 months ago."

"But my actual age is nineteen years and eight months."

“…” Hua Caili’s explanation undoubtedly made Yun Che even more confused.

Hua Caili opened her lips and told Hua Qingying the secret of the Pure Land without any reservation:

"For the rest of these nineteen years and eight months, I have been sleeping in the [Cradle] of the Pure Land."

“Cradle… a basket?” This was a word that Yun Che had never heard of before. It did not exist in the rumors of the Abyss, nor did it exist in the memories of Mo Beichen and Meng Jianzhou.

"That place is a magical place... [Absolute Stillness]."

PS:

1. It is recommended to recall what Chi Wuyao forcibly gave Yun Che before he jumped into the abyss. It is very important.

2. Cradle is important

3. Cradle is important
