Chapter 144 Hatching Eggs 1
At 7:00, the phone next to my pillow rang on time.
The melody of "To Alice" echoed in the dim room for a long time before a white, slender hand emerged from under the quilt and impatiently turned off the phone screen.
7:02, the owner of the messy black hair sat up with a gloomy expression, pressed his brows and relaxed for a long time before he completely woke up from the nightmare.
Cen Xun's gloomy expression brightened a little when he caught a glimpse of the bird egg lying on the pillow without moving at all. He reached out and picked up the egg, tapping the black and white patterned eggshell with his fingers. As usual, he received a faint shaking in response.
A new day begins.
At 7:10, Cen Xun placed the bird eggs in a large barrel half filled with clean water, then carefully took out the measuring cup, added the Fountain of Life in a certain proportion, and turned the eggs over at the right time to ensure that every inch of the bird eggs was marinated and soaked in the Fountain of Life.
The emerald green Fountain of Life was diluted into water green, emitting a strong breath of life. It is said that the holy water flowing from the spring behind the Temple of the God of Life has the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
Tong Ming took a part of it to change Zhou Mian's physique into a human, while Cen Xun used the Fountain of Life to nourish the divine fetus.
A wild "first generation god" like this, bred by the world consciousness, takes at least a few hundred years and at most tens of thousands of years from formation to actual birth. Moreover, without the protection of other powerful gods, it is extremely easy for it to die halfway.
Despicable humans once stole a bird's egg while it was still gestating, causing it to die in the womb. If it happened again, Cen Xun would never give anyone else the chance to steal the egg.
So after the world consciousness gave birth to the bird egg again, Cen Xun took the egg directly without waiting for it to hatch, so as to avoid any accidents during the hatching process.
Moreover, if the new god is hatched by the world consciousness, he will probably have to wait until the end of time.
In Cen Xun's current mental state, he really couldn't wait that long.
Cen Xun had seen the future without Feng Jihan. As long as Feng Jihan didn't come back, Cen Xun's nightmare would not disappear.
Cen Xun supported his chin, scooped a spoonful of water, and casually poured it over the egg.
After half an hour of water bathing, until the green color in the water was completely absorbed and disappeared, Cen Xun took the egg out of the bucket, wiped off the water marks, and placed it on the cushion on the windowsill to bask in the sun.
Cen Xun sat at the desk by the window, turned on his computer and started a video conference.
Feng Jihan stripped away humans' superpowers, and the entire society was about to face a major reshuffle. Cen Xun didn't pay much attention to this matter. After all, humans were not his clan.
However, the ghosts are considered to be Cen Xun's relatives. As the ruler of the nightmare world, Cen Xun cannot ignore the ghosts' eating problems.
Nightmare University must continue to operate until Cen Xun finds a human substitute for the monsters.
The theme of this meeting is the discussion about the subsequent operating model and fixed scenes of the Nightmare World.
"Now the number of players in the Nightmare World has reached billions, which is equivalent to half of the population of Blue Star. It is foreseeable that this number will continue to grow in the future. The Nightmare University scene alone can no longer accommodate so many players at the same time." Qin Xiu's calm voice came from the loudspeaker.
"My proposal is to build a new worldview and background for the nightmare world, and at the same time, introduce a new operating model."
Cen Xun nodded slightly, agreeing with the proposal. "Nightmare University is now on a different scale than before. We can no longer use the outdated operating concepts of the past. We must develop other operating models."
Now the entire nightmare world has become Cen Xun's territory. Cen Xun asked his employees to expand their horizons and not stick to the previous small-territory operating mentality.
As Cen Xun was speaking, the bird egg basking in the sun on the windowsill suddenly jumped up, rolled along the table and into Cen Xun's arms, then stood up vigorously and kept shaking, as if reminding Cen Xun something.
Cen Xun held it down, a little puzzled by its unusual activity: "What's going on?"
The bird egg continued to shake left and right at a speed that was not afraid of the yolk being scattered.
After a while, Cen Xun seemed to understand something. He lowered his head, placed a kiss on the eggshell, and chuckled, "Okay."
In the past few days, after wiping off the water stains, Cen Xun would kiss the egg. He forgot today and didn't expect it to be so upset.
This time, Dan finally calmed down, fell down contentedly, and lay horizontally in Cen Xun's arms.
Cen Xun listened intermittently to the discussions coming from the loudspeaker, stretched out his fingers, and casually traced the patterns on the eggshell, wondering when the egg would hatch into a bird.
Feng Jihan's situation was different from that of ordinary "first-generation gods." Feng Jihan's problem was that his soul was stuffed into a human body, and his divine body was then occupied by the human soul, separating his soul and body.
It doesn't matter if the divine body is destroyed. The most important thing is that the divine soul is still there. The world consciousness only needs to wrap Feng Jihan's soul back into the placenta and give birth to a divine body for him again. The whole process does not take long.
Cen Xun then used his own divine power to nourish it every day and soaked it in the Fountain of Life more often to speed up the hatching process.
However, Cen Xun couldn't calculate the time required for the incubation to complete.
After the meeting, Cen Xun asked the employees to provide him with a plan within three days and ended the meeting.
The sun is shining, it’s a great time, how can we waste it on work?
Cen Xun held the bird egg, put on sunglasses, and lay on a lounge chair by the outdoor swimming pool.
At this moment, an abnormal power fluctuation came, as if tearing an illusory curtain, and the appearance of the swimming pool was distorted. The next second, the blue swimming pool turned into an almost dark star pool, with an endless sea of stars scattered in it, as if within reach.
A man with emerald green eyes and dressed in a white divine robe appeared above the Star Pool. The vine earrings on his earlobes swayed slightly, brimming with vitality. He winked at Cen Xun and said in a soft voice with a smile: "Oh, Ftura, I hope I didn't disturb your pleasure."
Cen Xun did not intend to tell other gods his name when he was a human. Ftura was the nickname given to Cen Xun by the God of Light. Cen Xun didn't care what they called him.
The one who came to visit Cen Xun today was still the God of Life.
After Cen Xun obtained the throne, the entire star realm knew about the birth of this new god. Because they were uncertain about Cen Xun's camp, the first person to contact Cen Xun was the god of war, Varano, who belonged to the God of Light.
The light camp sent him here before the dark camp did, just to find out about Cen Xun's background.
However, after roughly understanding Cen Xun's position and attitude, out of the desire to win him over, the god he contacted was changed to the God of Life. With the transaction relationship with the Fountain of Life, the God of Life had some influence in Cen Xun's place.
Cen Xun took off his sunglasses and glanced at the God of Life with his amber eyes without any emotion: "Edelman, is there something wrong?"
"My friend, I came here to ask you, when are you planning to go to Odmir?" The God of Life shrugged, half helplessly. "According to procedure, when a new god appears in the pantheon of light, all the gods will come to celebrate. This is a rare and joyous event that only happens once in a million years. Furthermore, we can better introduce the new members to everything in the astral realm."
Cen Xun thought for a moment and asked, "Are you in a hurry?"
Edelman said insincerely: "I'm not in a hurry, it's just that" I'm afraid that the dark gods will get there first!
According to their estimation, this new god would most likely fall into the dark camp, but who could have imagined that there would be a sudden turn of events in the end, and Ftura would actually be more interested in the light camp.
Rather than having another powerful enemy in the enemy camp, they would certainly prefer to pull Ftura into their own camp.
The longer this matter is delayed, the greater the variables will be. Ftura is reluctant to go to Odemir and officially announce its camp identity. How can they not be anxious?
Edelman seemed calm, but in fact he was staring at Cen Xun, nervously waiting for his answer.
The beautiful new god pondered for a moment before nodding indifferently, "Then please wait a moment. Once my mate successfully hatches, I'll take him with me to Odmir."
Hearing this, Edelman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he did not agree to go to Odemir immediately, he at least gave a definite answer.
He couldn't help but cast his gaze on the bird egg in Ftura's arms. With his eyesight, he could certainly see that this was a natural god that was conceived and hatched by the world consciousness.
There are very few cases of successful hatching of nature gods. Fortunately, this nature god has a powerful partner who loves him very much and is able to protect him from the surveillance of jackals, tigers and leopards, allowing him to hatch safely.
"The Light Gods welcome you to join us. However, my friend, I need to remind you that the Dark Faction will likely send someone to contact you soon," Edelman said solemnly, remembering something. "Their methods are very insidious. To get you to fall into the Dark Faction, they might do something bad to your partner."
Seeing Cen Xun's face suddenly turn gloomy, Emand closed his mouth spontaneously.
Although this new god seemed to only be in charge of the power over dreams, Emand knew that this new god who almost fell into the abyss was actually an extremely terrifying and ruthless character.
In another fork of fate, after Ftura fell into the abyss, he polluted countless worlds. His powerful destructive power was almost comparable to that of the Dark Lord. The Light God system did not dare to make enemies with such a ruthless character, and tried to maintain friendly relations as much as possible.
Unfortunately, those lunatics of the Dark God system probably don’t have such clear minds.
Thinking of this, Edman silently mourned for the Dark God System for a few seconds.
Ftura treats his lover as a treasure. If you have any sense, don't set your sights on her, otherwise you will be doomed.
"Thank you for letting me know," Cen Xun raised his hand slightly, and a golden thread fell into Edelman's hand: "This is a thank you gift."
Edelman reluctantly accepted the seemingly light golden thread and refused it with restraint: "This is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Ftura had just arrived and had no idea about this kind of divine object that came from the gods themselves and had some authority and power.
The information he provided was not worth the value of this golden thread.
Cen Xun smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm grateful for your guidance in hatching the divine fetus. Your Fountain of Life also helped me a lot."
Ah, I see, the only thing Ftura cares about is his bird.
Edelman took out more Fountain of Life and gave it to Cen Xun.
Carefully putting away the golden thread, Edelman was now convinced that a new god who loved birds could not be that bad.
The author has something to say:
Here we come!
I will only briefly introduce the backgrounds of both camps and will not go into detail. In short, Mr. Cen is great in any camp, and talented people will shine wherever they are (?)
I'm going to do a mix of amnesia and pseudo-substitutes, and write it from a free-range chicken's perspective! I thought I seduced a beautiful widow, but it turns out I'm just her body double, and I'm furious and do something crazy like that [sunglasses]
