Chapter 181.1: An Unexpected Encounter with the Married Goddess (1)Chapter 181.1: An Unexpected Encounter with the Married Goddess (1)
Borders of Heavenly Kingdom Dawn.
At the edge of the huge floating island was an endless wheat field. This was an agricultural area far away from the brilliant gold city. It was quiet and remote. In the golden sea of wheat that rippled with the wind, only familiars reared by the farmers passed by occasionally.
After chasing away the Star Attendants who served her, the God Consort arrived here quietly alone. She passed through the wheat field and arrived at the bottomless cliff that reached the surface of the earth.
Here, the God Consort did not say a word and looked down at the scenery outside the Heavenly Kingdom silently, enjoying the precious peace.
Every time the God Consort wanted to be alone, she would come here and sit in front of the empty wheat field, looking at the mortal world beneath the clouds.
This was a desolate no man's land. Not only was there a bottomless abyss where one would definitely die if they stepped out, there were also predators from the sea of clouds that attacked from time to time.
To the elves of the Heavenly Kingdom, this was the edge of the dangerous world.
However, it was only here that the white-haired Star Elf did not have to be surrounded by admirers, deal with the overprotective Star Attendants and endure the fool whom she chose to work with because she must have been blind...
"Sigh…"
The God Consort sighed.
At that moment, the Star Elf no longer had the divine might of the extraordinary woman she used to be. She was like the mortals, clearly exhausted as she turned the stress accumulated at work into a powerless sigh.
Below the Heavenly Kingdom were boundless clouds. Cloud Mayflies that resided in the clouds would occasionally float out of the clouds, revealing their light and translucent bodies.
If she was lucky and caught up to a cloudless patch of sky, the God Consort would have a chance to see the surface world beneath the Heavenly Kingdom.
That was the land known by the civilization here as the mortal world.
That was the surface of this planet and a land that the God Consort had never set foot on in her life.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOriginally, the Star Elves should have descended on that land to find heroes worthy of assistance and give them the power from the cosmos to resist the threat of the same cosmos.
The God Consort did not know much about the history of the mortal world. However, ever since these floating islands appeared in the skies of the mortal world, the fate of the Star Elves seemed to have changed.
When this group of High Elves who lived in the Heavenly Kingdom understood the secret of the cosmos, they began to capture lifeforms that descended from the outer world. They either studied, worshipped or annihilated them…
The God Consort was one of them.
As a goddess that contained the pure power of the cosmos, the High Elves treated her as an incarnation of the power of the cosmos and retained her in the Heavenly Kingdom to worship.
This had also happened to her mother and another senior.
Initially, the God Consort did not mind. After all, her mission was to help the people of this world fight against the Evil Stars.
Although the High Elves intercepted the Star Elves, they were indeed also the frontline against Far Silence.
Therefore, even if the High Elves did not take the initiative to intercept, the Star Elves would have chosen to work with them eventually.
This collaboration mode lasted for two generations and was extremely effective.
In this mortal world that had lost the protection of the gods, with the help of the Star Elves and the High Elves, the mortal world managed to withstand the corruption of Far Silence twice. In fact, Far Silence did not even have the chance to touch the surface ground.
But now…
The God Consort raised her head and looked at the sky with a worried expression.
At that moment, the sky was gradually brightening and the sunlight blocked out the brilliance of the stars. Even so, when the God Consort looked up at the sky, she could still see a blinding demonic speck of light.
The High Elves were not allowed to look up at the sky because these mortals who relied on the power of the cosmos for a long time were the easiest to be corrupted by Far Silence..
There were some truths that the Star Attendant Court had never announced to the public.
In reality, the cosmic magic that the High Elves mastered was completely from the same source as Far Silence.
In fact, even the God Consort herself as well...
The God Consort sighed.
If this continued, could they really win?
The Evil Star approached continuously, but the High Elves of the Heavenly Kingdom were still in chaos. There were serious divisions between the various Heavenly Kingdoms and there might even be internal strife.
The only God King who could mediate the dispute and unite all the High Elves was a pure fool.
Damn it…
At the thought of the God King she had chosen, the God Consort felt a headache.
She regretted believing in the experiences of her predecessors and thinking that the High Elves were a group of reliable allies. Back then, when she descended to the mortal world, she was faced with the strongest king of the Heavenly Kingdom that was meticulously selected by the High Elves.
The moment he made contact with her, a Starburst explosion caused by a lack of synchronization rendered her half-dead.
At that moment, the God Consort actually... hesitated for a brief moment instead of turning around and escaping to the mortal world immediately.
He was militaristic, overconfident and had too much self-esteem. He treated the God Consort as his tool…
The only reason why the God Consort still bothered to work with him was probably because this guy indeed had the sincerity to defend the Heavenly Kingdoms and protect the mortal world. Furthermore, he was also working hard for it.
Although he was slow-witted, his nature was not bad.
Magically, this single basic trait as a leader was enough to make him much better than the other kings of the Heavenly Kingdoms...
The current situation in the Heavenly Kingdoms was indescribable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot only was the God King muddle-headed, the kings of the other Heavenly Kingdoms were also strangely mediocre.
Take the invasion of Caldera by the Nether Realm previously as an example. The fall of that Heavenly Kingdom was because the king pursued pleasure and led his citizens to abandon the faith of the cosmos. He received the blessings of the Ancient Dragon Princess and entered the embrace of the evil gods. While deceiving the God King and pretending that nothing had happened, he was secretly preparing for war.
If not for the timely intervention of the Imperial Guards from Haines, the calamity of Caldera would definitely not stop at the destruction of a single Heavenly Kingdom.
Such incidents happened endlessly among the High Elves.
If this continued…
Could the High Elves really regain the glory of the past two thousand years and repel the evil will hidden in the Evil Star once more?
If they could not, in that case, who else had the strength and willingness to step forward to fight against the Evil Star?
The God Consort did not have an answer…
She could only hope that when danger truly descended, the High Elves would remember their mission.
Right then, the God Consort suddenly heard a rustling sound behind her.
It did not sound like it was created by a farming familiar.
Was someone there?
The God Consort turned around.
In the end, she saw an unexpected guest.
A figure in the distance crossed the path in the field and walked towards the God Consort.
It was an extraordinary young man. He was human and was abnormally handsome. His deep eyes possessed a soul-stirring charm.
When she saw that person, the God Consort's heart skipped a beat.
He was the Prince of Haines, Rayne Haines.
