Meanwhile, as the Star God and Li Yuan were locked in a fierce battle, someone slipped into the Flower Goddess's quarters...
Since this is the residence of the Flower Goddess, it is naturally unguarded, which led to the arrival of malicious people.
The newcomer was about to enter the house when he discovered a protective barrier erected there, and he gave a mocking smile.
"Hmph, just a small barrier."
He then took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, from which a drop of blood-red liquid slowly dripped. With a wave of his hand, the blood droplet dispersed into countless drops of blood-red energy, which landed on the barrier.
Then the barrier simply melted away.
The Star God, who was fighting with Li Yuan, was surprised for a moment when he sensed the barrier disappearing, but then he remembered that only those with divine blood could enter, so he was relieved.
Maybe Lian'er has returned.
With this in mind, he focused on the matter at hand.
The slight tremor outside alerted the Flower Goddess. She silently bestowed a ray of light upon the twin lotus blossoms, slowing their rotation.
She didn't know whether the visitor was friend or foe, and besides, she couldn't afford to be distracted right now.
"Hehehe, stop hiding."
The intruder went directly to the Flower Goddess's bedside, looked at the blooming lotus flower within the bed curtains, which was still shimmering with golden light and radiating countless spiritual energies, and said with a smile. But the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Who are you?" the goddess of flowers exclaimed from behind the bed curtains.
"Hehehe... You don't need to know who I am. I don't have anything to do today, I just want to ask you for something." The person just stood outside the bed curtains.
"What you're looking for isn't here," the Flower Goddess said, though she knew what it was.
"Heh heh... Do you think I'm stupid? Just give me that twin lotus flower on your head. I have no interest in women giving birth." The newcomer seemed a little impatient.
The Flower Goddess exclaimed again in surprise, "You know about the twin lotus... You, you're from the demon realm?"
The man chuckled and said, "Now that you know I'm from the demon realm, why don't you hurry up and give me the twin lotus, or you and the little one in your belly will be in danger."
"I'm in a good mood today and don't intend to kill any living beings, especially women and children. Give me the twin lotus flowers, and I'll leave immediately." The man spoke in a tone that said, "I'm going to talk to you properly, so don't be ungrateful."
Knowing the situation was critical, and that the twin lotus blossoms must not fall into the hands of demons, the Flower Goddess looked tenderly into her womb and murmured, "Baby, I'm sorry." She then tried to forcefully stop the delivery.
I can't give her the twin lotus blossoms! Even if it means she'll lose her baby...
The Flower Goddess seemed to have made up her mind and was about to withdraw her energy when the Lotus Goddess arrived just outside.
"Mother!" Lotus Goddess cried out as she looked at the demons and monsters who had not yet made any further moves before Flower Goddess's bedside.
The Flower Goddess was momentarily stunned. In that moment of distraction, the person by the bed suddenly made a move, and the twin lotus blossoms that she hadn't had time to retract were snatched away.
"Heh heh, I've got it. I'm not playing with you guys anymore. Will the little guy even be able to be born properly? Hahahaha..." The voice drifted further and further away.
"Pfft..." The twin lotus flowers detached from her body, and the Flower Goddess spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lotus Goddess quickly stepped forward to support her, "Mother..."
Twin lotus blossoms and her child... In the end, could she not protect either of them...?
The Flower Goddess's face was pale as she looked at the fetus in her womb, whose breathing was becoming increasingly unstable due to the loss of the divine aura from the twin lotus blossoms.
The Lotus Goddess was well aware of the situation, and with a resolute decision, she directly revealed her true form—
Her true form is a lotus flower. If her true form is used as a means of delivery, it may be possible for the fetus to be born successfully.
The Flower Goddess, seeing the Lotus Goddess reveal her true form, exclaimed in surprise, "Lotus, what are you doing?"
The Lotus Goddess said with a serious expression, "Mother, I am late." She meant that it was her fault that the twin lotus was taken away, and that the baby in the Flower Goddess's womb was in danger.
The Flower Goddess looked at the Lotus Goddess, tears welling in her eyes, "Lotus, why did you do this..."
The Lotus Goddess stopped her, saying, "Mother, Lian'er is your daughter, but also the elder sister of the child in your womb. Now that the twin lotus has been taken away, Lian'er is willing to use her true form to transfer divine power and help Mother."
The Flower Goddess lowered her eyes and said, "Lotus, do you know that even though your true form is a lotus, and you are born from the twin lotus, your origins are different? If you use your true form as a transition, you... you may very well become a lotus flower from this moment on..."
The Lotus Goddess said firmly, "Mother, I have made up my mind. Even if I become a lotus flower, I can still cultivate in the future and wait for the day I become a god again... But you, and the baby in your womb, will not have that chance."
The Flower Goddess bit her lip, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Twin lotus blossoms, the name "twin" signifies that one can only have twins in this life. She has already given birth to a daughter, and the child in her womb now is that "twin." If the child fails to be born, the "twin" will be broken.
This is also the origin of the Lotus Goddess's words.
The Flower Goddess finally relented, her gentle gaze falling upon the Lotus Goddess, a single tear falling from her eye…
With the help of the Lotus Goddess's true form, the birthing was able to continue, but the fetus in her womb lost a part of its soul and suffered endlessly from then on.
The Lotus Goddess transformed into a lotus flower, and the place was renamed from then on—Lotus Realm.
