Chapter 503: Herein (17)
A trace of invisible power wrapped around his fingertips, as if being intimate with him. Jiuzhou raised his hand and examined it for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, the spirit of heaven and earth is the purest. Don't worry, welcome His arrival."
"We share the same origin, which is good. I'm not that overbearing. Don't reject Him."
"Jiuzhou, how could you harm yourself?"
Linchuan saw the anticipation on Jiuzhou's face and smiled, "Since you've said so, we won't have any doubts about Him."
Shi Xi asked, "When will He be able to take shape?"
Jiuzhou shook his head. "I'm not sure about this. Wait a minute. You've been here for tens of thousands of years. Go out and change your perspective."
"Okay, let's go." Li Huan pulled Qiyu, arm in arm, and they walked out. "Qiyu, come with me to the God Realm to prepare some gifts for this little guy who hasn't even formed yet."
Qing Xun tugged at Cheng Yin's sleeve, "Cheng Yin, do you want to fight? Stretch your muscles."
Qi Shuo put his arm around her waist and pulled her away. "Why fight? There are other ways to stretch your muscles."
Chang Xuan also took Shi Xi away, "The spiritual herbs you planted should be ripe now. Go back and pick some and save them. They will be useful to Him in the future."
Seeing that they had all assigned tasks to them, Qing Yun walked over to Jiuzhou and sat down, looking at the starry sky in front of him.
"Why don't you go out and play?" Jiuzhou asked her.
"Jiuzhou, you always plan and strategize. Before you find out what this change is, will you be panicked?"
Jiuzhou rubbed her head and said, "You are always the most thoughtful person, but panicking will not help. Whether it is good or bad, you have to face it."
"He will be our partner and will not threaten us." He withdrew his hand, and with divine power, his fingertips connected the starlight in front of him into a soft spirit. "Or perhaps, He is a gift given to us by the Dark Avenue."
"Um."
In the following time, when the gods had nothing to do, they would come to the starry space to stay for a while, but no spirit group appeared.
After waiting for 50,000 years, Li Huan asked, "Jiuzhou, hasn't He appeared yet?"
Jiuzhou shook his head.
After waiting for the hundred thousandth year, Cheng Yin asked, "Jiuzhou, when will He appear?"
Jiuzhou shook his head again, "I can't figure it out."
In the 200,000th year, Qing Xun said, "The little guy really doesn't show up even after being called so many times."
In the 300,000th year, Jingshan was about to ask, but Jiuzhou shook his head at him.
Qi Yu patted his shoulder and said, "There are things you haven't been sure of for a long time."
"Maybe you come too often, and it's shy. Go and gain experience." Jiuzhou drove them all out of this world and went to gain experience himself.
After coming back 150,000 years later, the starry space was still as quiet as before.
Chang Xuan lay in the center of the stars and said, "Jiuzhou, could it be that you made a wrong judgment?"
"That's right." Jiuzhou affirmed.
The gods waited for a long time again.
When Xing Wu couldn't help asking, Jiuzhou just shook his head and said, "He didn't show up."
In the 1,070,000th year, Jiuzhou returned from the divine realm and felt obvious changes when he stepped into the starry space.
Jiuzhou discovered a small white ball hidden behind a brilliant starlight in every corner of the space where his spiritual consciousness communicated.
He used his divine power to bring it to his palm and tapped him, "Are you hiding from me?"
The white ball shrank, becoming only one-third the size of his palm. It was an extremely small ball, but the aura of rules and Taoism on it was extremely strong.
As if sensing his kindness, the little spirit ball tentatively rubbed his palm.
Jiuzhou sat cross-legged in the starry sky, gently stroking the small spirit ball with his fingertips. "It's finally formed. I've been waiting for you for a long time. My name is Jiuzhou. Like you, I am a rule and a law."
The little spirit flew to his shoulder, rubbed his neck, and hummed softly twice.
Jiuzhou mistakenly comforted Him, and his heart softened, "You can't speak yet."
He took out something useful for Him and handed it to Him, "Wrap it with spiritual power and refine it into your strength."
The little spirit ball wrapped up the magical herb and disappeared from Jiuzhou's sight in an instant.
Jiuzhou chuckled, "You're quite defensive."
Still a little shy.
When he wanted to pass a message to Xingwu and the others, the whole group exuded an aura of vigilance, so Jiuzhou had to give up.
For half a month, Jiuzhou occasionally looked for Him and fed Him some food, but most of the time he let Him hide. The spirit ball, which was only one-third the size of his palm, became as big as two-thirds of his palm.
Finding Him from the darkness of the stars, Jiuzhou held Him up and fed Him, "A small ball, I'll call you Little Dumpling, okay?"
"Hmm!" He rubbed his palm.
"Then you won't run away? Brother Jiuzhou will give you delicious food in the future." This was the first time Jiuzhou called himself a brother.
"Hmm!" He grew longer and wrapped his arms around Jiuzhou's wrist.
Jiuzhou poked Him with his fingertips, "Want to go out and play?"
The small ball on the wrist did not respond, and the spiritual breath expressed resistance.
"Okay, we won't go out."
Jiuzhou fed him for another month, but he didn't grow any bigger at all, still maintaining the size of two-thirds of his palm.
It took a year before he finally raised him to the size of his palm, and Jiuzhou had become completely familiar with him.
Jiuzhou sat at the tea table, feeding the little spirit ball that had come to him after playing with the stars some spirit tea. "Little ball, can brother Jiuzhou take you out to play?"
The little spirit, who already had full trust and reliance on Jiuzhou, hesitated for a moment before softly replying, "Okay."
"Then let me introduce you to the other brothers and sisters, okay?"
"Will they be as nice to me as you are?"
"Yes." Jiuzhou gently rubbed his soft body with his fingertips. "They are looking forward to your appearance just like me. Don't be afraid of them."
"Okay." The little spirit ball floated into his arms, "I want to hold you."
"Yes, hug me." Jiuzhou smiled and held Him in his arms, covered Him with his wide sleeves, and walked out of the starry space.
Xing Wu came in from outside, wanting to see if the little guy who had been waiting for millions of years had appeared, and then he saw Jiuzhou coming out.
"Jiuzhou, what are you holding?"
Jiuzhou lowered his sleeves and tapped the little spirit ball that clung even closer to him with his fingertips, "Little ball, his name is Xingwu."
The little spirit ball slowly moved into Jiuzhou's sleeve, staring at Xingwu vigilantly.
Xing Wu was a little surprised, "A spirit was born?"
"Yeah." Jiuzhou nodded. "Little Dumpling is quite cautious. I had to coax him for a long time before he was willing to come out."
"Brother Jiuzhou." Xiao Lingtuan tugged at Jiuzhou's sleeve.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Xiao Lingtuan didn't say anything and continued to stare at Xingwu.
Xing Wu extended her hand towards Him and said with a gentle smile, "Come here, Brother Xing Wu."
Xiao Lingtuan looked at Jiuzhou and saw encouragement in his eyes, so he carefully moved it to Xingwu's hand.
Xing Wu lifted Him up to her eyes and gently poked Him, "Such a small ball? Don't be nervous. Do you like to eat spiritual medicine? I have a lot here."
As he spoke, Xing Wu took out the elixir and presented it to Him.
He looked at Jiuzhou again, and only after getting Jiuzhou's nod did he wrap the spiritual medicine with his spiritual power. Not long after, it was quietly nestled in Xingwu's palm.
Jiuzhou smiled and shook his head, "I ate too much and didn't have time to absorb it, so I fell asleep."
Xing Wu held Him in her arms, "Why is He so cautious?"
