However, she didn't care.
She and Azi have spent millions of years in solitude since their birth.
Now, all she wants is to live a life surrounded by her children and grandchildren. This is her simplest, strongest, and most persistent wish over the past million years.
As the goddess of life, her divine power could catalyze countless lives. Yet, for the past million years, she had not had a single normal offspring. She believed this was fate, that she and Azi would forever only have each other, and that the palace of the gods would forever remain empty.
Fortunately, Gu Linyuan appeared.
"Yuan'er. Come with me."
The Goddess of Life waved her hand, enveloping the entire valley. Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, and Dugu Bo were all kept outside. The Goddess of Life took Gu Linyuan's hand and led him inside.
"Yanyan, come here quickly, Grandpa has something important to tell you." Seeing the Goddess of Life leave, Dugu Bo instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Dugu Yan still feeling the changes in her body, he quickly pulled her over.
Judging from the two girls' silly looks, they probably don't realize that their Aunt Green is a real deity.
……
The Goddess of Life took Gu Linyuan's hand and led him inside.
Her hands were small, with long, slender fingers and warm, soft palms. When she held his hand, her grip was neither too light nor too heavy, as if she were holding a lost treasure that had been found again.
The goddess of life stopped, turned around, and released his hand. Then she stretched out her arms and embraced him as if he were the most precious thing in the world.
Gu Linyuan's body stiffened slightly. He was no longer a child and wasn't used to being hugged like this. But a mother's embrace had a kind of magic, an irresistible warmth that made one want to drown in it.
The goddess of life's arms encircled his waist, holding him tightly, her palms pressed against his back. She could feel his heartbeat through his clothes, steady and strong. Her face was pressed against his chest, her long, dark green hair cascading over his shoulders, making her look like a weary bird returning to its nest.
Gu Linyuan looked at her and suddenly felt that his mother's eyes resembled the starry sky he had imagined as a child. He couldn't understand them, but he could feel something in them that made his eyes sting.
The goddess of life smiled, a smile as gentle as the first breeze of spring. She stood on tiptoe. This movement made her look less like a god-king who had lived for millions of years and more like an ordinary mother wanting to kiss her now very tall son.
Her lips landed on Gu Linyuan's forehead. It was very light and gentle, like a butterfly landing on a flower petal.
She kissed him as if to make up for all the things she had missed over the years, the things she hadn't had time to give, and the things she had saved up for over a decade or even a million years.
Her lips landed on his face, haphazardly, without rhythm, kissing him wherever she pleased. Sometimes she would lightly touch him, like a dragonfly skimming the water; other times she would linger longer, her lips pressed against his skin, feeling his warmth, confirming that he was real, not a dream, not an illusion.
"Yuan'er, thank you for appearing before me."
Despite being the goddess of life, she has almost never had close contact with any living being. Not even with her husband, the god of destruction. It's difficult for her to even hold hands with him normally, because their divine powers repel each other.
Gu Linyuan was her child, her truly intimate and inseparable companion.
In a sense, Gu Linyuan's relationship with her was even closer than his relationship with the God of Destruction.
Both the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction are born of nature, much like the Snow Empress, who was born from ice and snow. Their emotional expressions are also similar to those of spirit beasts. Gu Linyuan's human consciousness is still somewhat unaccustomed to this unrestrained way of expressing emotions.
It's one thing to treat the goddess of life like that. But it would be strange if she fawned over the god of destruction like that next time she saw him.
Chapter 56 Reunion with Ah Yin, Absorbing the Luck and Energy of Tang San's Family
"Mom, that's enough. Just give me a token gesture."
Gu Linyuan felt something was off.
Essentially.
In truth, Gu Linyuan could hardly be considered a normal human being. His life form was roughly similar to, or even slightly more advanced than, that of the naturally born Snow Empress, only temporarily existing in human form.
However, Gu Linyuan still retains the consciousness and values of his previous life.
He doesn't see himself as a child.
"Doesn't Xiaoyuan want to be affectionate with his mother?"
The goddess of life pouted, a helpless expression on her face.
She looked at Gu Linyuan as he turned his head away, her lips slightly pouting. The curve wasn't big, but it added a touch of girlishness to her flawless face, a quality that she only showed in front of her closest relatives.
She felt somewhat disappointed.
Gu Linyuan was only a little over ten years old; in her eyes, he was still a child.
She has lived for millions of years; a dozen years is but a fleeting moment in her long life.
In her eyes, Gu Linyuan was no different from the baby she had just held in her arms.
But as a human being, he is indeed quite old; he will be an adult in a few years.
"Ugh."
The goddess of life sighed.
She didn't spend her son's early childhood with him. This is her biggest regret.
Gu Linyuan has now grown into a fine young man with his own ideas. While she certainly wants to be close to him, she also needs to consider his feelings.
Disappointment welled up in her heart like a tide, but she gently suppressed it.
Her gaze fell on Gu Linyuan's profile, then on the distant emerald light screen behind him. Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran's figures were projected as two blurry outlines on the light screen, their expressions unreadable, but their auras could be felt.
The eyes of the goddess of life lit up.
If any of those girls become pregnant with Yuan'er's child, she will definitely take it to the God Realm and raise it herself.
For millions of years, she, the goddess of life, had never raised a child. She wanted to experience it.
She'll definitely give them a good talking-to later.
……
"Never mind, I won't tease you anymore."
"Yuan'er, look who this is!"
She took a blue silver grass from her sleeve.
The blue silver grass lay quietly in her palm.
Its entire body is as translucent as jade, its leaves as thin as cicada wings, and a faint golden halo flows through its veins. The whole plant exudes a soft, warm light that brings peace to the mind at first glance.
This blue silver grass shone with divine light, a far cry from its dull and lifeless appearance when she first saw it.
"Is this the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin?"
Gu Linyuan's eyes widened.
"I brought her to the God Realm and nurtured and cleansed her with the life essence of the God Realm. Now she has already transformed and is no longer an ordinary soul beast. In terms of physique alone, she can be called a half-step divine beast."
"His strength is probably about the same as a level 99 Limit Douluo."
Gu Linyuan clicked his tongue in amazement.
If the Goddess of Life wanted to nurture it, she could train the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin into a divine beast.
The Goddess of Life possesses the Law of Life, which is coveted by all life-type soul beasts.
In the Forest of Life of the Goddess of Life, there is a constant flow of life essence drawn from the lower realm. If any portion of this essence is diverted and given to Ah Yin, it can transform her.
Gu Linyuan reached out, and the Blue Silver Grass that Ah Yin had transformed into wrapped around his arm.
With Ah Yin as his trump card, he can now do whatever he wants in Douluo Continent.
“Ah Yin’s aptitude is quite good. Much better than I expected. Most importantly, she possesses a power of destiny.” The Goddess of Life’s gaze turned serious.
Fortune and destiny are elusive and intangible.
Even those at the god-king level couldn't fully fathom it.
Gods are merely more powerful beings; they are not omnipotent.
Several months ago, she was able to spot Ah Yin immediately when she descended to the mortal realm. Besides Ah Yin's life force, the aura of fortune swirling around the Blue Silver Grass was also what caught her attention at first glance.
The aura and energy emanating from Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin were not much less than those of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the newly born soul beast emperor in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Her son, Tang San, is a person of great destiny. He was originally destined to be the ruler of the God Realm, and she also became a god with Tang San's help," Gu Linyuan said with deep conviction.
Ah Yin eventually merged into the life core of Douluo Star. Although she was a second-level god, she was definitely not weaker than any first-level god.
As the mother who gave birth to Tang San, Gu Linyuan was not surprised at all that Ah Yin possessed enormous luck energy.
"That's it. She will be your helper now. Once your cultivation reaches a certain level, you can make her your soul ring."
"If she becomes a part of you, her fortune will naturally be yours as well."
The goddess of life smiled.
Luck and fortune.
All the fortune and energy of the entire Douluo Continent must belong to her son.
“Yuan’er. You must understand that luck is a higher form of energy than any other. Even the supreme attributes of life and destruction are no less powerful than luck.”
"Moreover, luck and fortune are very difficult to cultivate. Either you're born with great fortune, or you have to snatch it and defeat other people with similar luck..."
"Furthermore, once you become a god, it becomes almost impossible to obtain this kind of fortune energy. Therefore, the more fortune energy you can obtain before becoming a god, the better. That Tang San, who was able to defeat Xiao Zi in the future and drag both of us into the spacetime turbulence, shows that his fortune far surpasses that of me and your father."
"If you want to become a being more powerful than me and your father, you must obtain enough of this energy before becoming a god..."
The goddess of life gave her instructions.
Her decision to allow Gu Linyuan to stay in Douluo Continent was also based on this consideration.
Once one becomes a deity, their relationship with the Heavenly Way becomes subtle.
The laws of a world will not allow any being to be powerful enough to challenge the will of Heaven. Even the most powerful god can only exist as the greatest beneficiary of the world's legal system, not as someone who transcends it.
Once one becomes a god, the blessings of Heaven will almost never descend upon them again.
therefore.
To reach the pinnacle, one must acquire sufficiently high levels of fortune and energy to gain favor with the consciousness of heaven and earth. Only then can one truly become the darling of the world and ascend to supreme power.
……
"Is that right?"
Gu Linyuan stroked his chin, lost in thought.
People like Tang San are born to be the darlings of heaven and earth. He doesn't need to strive for anything; opportunities will come knocking on his door, benefactors will come knocking on his door, and he can even find treasures that others can only dream of while walking.
But Gu Linyuan was different. His birth itself was an act of defying the natural order.
A child who shouldn't exist, a life that traveled from the future, an anomaly possessing both the opposing forces of life and destruction. Heaven will not favor him, will not show him any special favor, and may even secretly reject him. Therefore, she must teach him another path: to seize.
