In the secret realm of shadows, under the bright moonlight, two figures, one large and one small, were intersecting rapidly.
Xu Cheng held a long sword and constantly defended the attack of a little girl on the opposite side.
The little girl is about ten years old, with long hair tied into a ponytail at the back, and a cute little face with a little baby fat. It can already be seen that she will be as beautiful as the one who will conquer the country in the future.
If you look carefully, you can see that the little girl looks somewhat similar to the former Lake Goddess.
She held a huge sword in both hands that was taller than her whole body, and she swung it as easily as holding a toothpick. With sharp and quick moves, she launched a continuous attack on Xu Cheng.
The sound of the collision of giant swords and iron swords continued to resound in this secret realm that seemed like eternal night.
Xu Cheng noticed the sweat on Xinghu's head, so he changed his tactics from defense to offense, easily knocking the giant sword away from the little girl's hand, and the sword's edge was suddenly placed on her delicate neck.
The little girl froze in place, as if she didn't expect that she would lose so easily.
She dropped the giant sword on the ground with a frustrated look on her face: "I lost again, Dad, what on earth should I do to defeat you?"
Xu Cheng threw away the sword in his hand, and then touched her head: "Dream, there is everything in your dream."
"But I keep losing to you in my dreams."
The little girl hugged Xu Cheng's arm and said in frustration: "Am I unable to beat you in this life?"
"If you practice for another few hundred years, you might have a chance."
"That's too long. Is there any way to do it earlier?"
Looking at the little girl holding his arms and acting coquettishly, Xu Cheng was slightly distracted.
In fact, it doesn't take hundreds of years. Xu Cheng feels that in another hundred years, it will be a bit difficult for him to defeat her.
She deserves to have the blood of the Golden Supreme King flowing in her body. Although her growth rate is extremely slow, her talent is extremely amazing, far exceeding that of Xu Cheng and A Ying.
Yes, this little girl is the daughter of the Lake Goddess and the granddaughter of the Golden High King.
About four hundred and fifty years ago, the Lady of the Lake finally chose to leave her hometown and go to the universe to find a new livable planet while avoiding the pursuit of the Golden Supreme King.
She pretended to leave with her daughter, but in fact she just wanted to attract the attention of the Golden Supreme King. On the eve of leaving the earth, she had handed over her real daughter to the goddess of fate.
According to the agreement, when the Lake Goddess finds a livable planet in the universe, she will come back to pick up her daughter.
However, the goddess of fate has long seen the future of the Lake Goddess. She will eventually find a livable planet, but at the same time she will lose her way and it will be difficult to come back.
In order to avoid the sight of the Great Lord, the Goddess of Fate used a certain method to freeze the identity and fate of the daughter of the Lake Goddess.
It was not until fifty years ago that the goddess was thawed and left to be raised by Xu Cheng and Aying.
In this way, the two got a cheap daughter.
Before the Lady of the Lake left the earth, she named her girl Star Lake, which was taken from one of the names of her biological parents.
However, at first, Xu Cheng and Aying didn't regard Xinghu as their daughter at all, they just wanted to raise the goddess of the lake for a while.
However, when Xinghu was a little sensible, the goddess of fate secretly instilled in her the idea that "Xu Cheng and Aying" were her parents, making her convinced.
By the time Xu Cheng and Ah Ying found out, it was too late to correct the situation, so they had no choice but to acquiesce.
But having said that, they raised this daughter for the Lady of the Lake, and were essentially her adoptive parents.
"Daddy, daddy."
Xinghu kept waving his little hand in front of Xu Cheng, interrupting his wandering: "What are you doing?"
Xu Cheng shook his head: "It's okay, let's go back."
He's not married yet, so he didn't expect to experience the feeling of being a dad in advance.
"What are you, father and daughter, talking about?"
A clear and lively voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.
Xu Cheng and Xing Hu both turned back and saw the goddess of fate appearing behind them unnoticed.
In the past four hundred and fifty years, the appearance of the goddess of destiny has not changed at all, and she is looking at the father and daughter with a smile.
"Aunt."
Xinghu immediately showed a happy expression and wanted to pounce.
The goddess of fate's face darkened: "What did you call me?"
"Auntie."
"Have you forgotten what I told you before?"
Goddess of Destiny put her hands on her hips and said aggressively, "Your mother and I are going our separate ways. You should call me sister!"
Xinghu tilted his head, looking innocent: "But, if I call you sister, then you are also my mother's daughter?"
The goddess of destiny was speechless for a moment, but she quickly caught the narrowness in Xinghu's eyes and reacted immediately.
"Okay, you damn girl, how dare you tease me."
She rolled up her sleeves and rushed toward Xinghu.
"Daddy, save me."
Xinghu immediately hid behind Xu Cheng, and played the trick of an eagle catching a chicken with the goddess of fate, the two of them kept circling around him.
Xu Cheng was about to join in when he heard the manager's prompt tone.
【mission completed】
[Rewards have been distributed: random enhancement +3, mission points +3]
Seeing the mission prompt appear, Xu Cheng was slightly startled, and then realized that Aying's injury was finally healed.
It's really not easy. More than five hundred years have passed since accepting this mission. Even Brother Monkey has climbed out from under Wuzhi Mountain.
Before Xu Cheng could be happy, the task manager prompt appeared again.
[Mission: God-killer (Part 2)]
[Difficulty: Difficult]
[Content: Preventing the Resurrection of the Great Lord]
[Whether to accept the task]
Another difficult task, involving the Great Lord.
After the spoilers of Goddess of Destiny, Xu Cheng already knows that the Great Lord will use death to save the World Tree and then resurrect.
And Xu Cheng had already guessed that his mission must be to prevent the Great Lord from resurrecting, and he was right.
He didn't hesitate and immediately chose to accept it.
[Task begins]
[You only have ten chances to come back, please cherish it]
[Your identity is a time traveler from later generations. Please gather the power of the gods to destroy the World Tree and prevent the resurrection of the Great Lord. If the existence of the task manager is exposed, the mission will be deemed to have failed]
[Please go to Molten City and participate in the gathering of the gods]
[Connection code: What is the difference between Jesus and the portrait of Jesus]
In the last mission, Xu Cheng couldn't find anyone in this era who could match him with the secret code. After all, it was a secret code from later generations. If someone could really match him, there would be a problem.
But this is inherently a bad taste in dog management, and it doesn’t matter whether there is someone to play hell jokes with him.
Unexpectedly, it still wouldn't give up.
After reading the mission, Xu Cheng said to Destiny and Xinghu who were still playing around: "I'm going back first, you guys can play slowly."
Before he finished speaking, his whole body turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared.
"Dad, don't leave me."
Xinghu subconsciously reached out to grab it, but missed it.
Feeling the beast-like gaze from behind, Xinghu froze, then turned around tremblingly, showing a flattering smile: "Sister, you won't bully children, right?"
"That's right!"
The goddess of fate raised her hands, grabbed her smooth little face, pinched her hard, and gritted her teeth: "Sister, I will definitely love you well."
After ruthlessly ravaging Xinghu, Goddess of Destiny pulled her aside and asked in a low voice: "Did you notice what I asked you to pay attention to last time?"
"Yes, I have."
Xinghu spread his hands: "But the relationship between mom and dad is very good, and they have never fought."
"Not the kind of fight you imagined."
Goddess of Destiny emphasized to her in a low voice: "It's the kind of fight where only the sound is heard but the person is not seen. Is there any sound of being beaten and crying coming from your mother's bedroom every night?"
Xinghu tilted his head: "No, I sleep with my mother every day."
Although she is fifty years old, her growth rate is very slow, probably due to her parents' genes. Her current mental age is only about ten years old, and she cannot understand what the goddess of fate is saying.
And Xu Cheng and Aying didn't give her special education in this area.
Goddess of Destiny asked without giving up: "Then did your parents take you away specifically so that you could be alone quietly?"
Xinghu thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "No."
"It shouldn't be."
The command goddess frowned, very confused.
After knowing Xu Cheng for so long, she was finally able to see Xu Cheng's looming fate, only to find that his fate was closely entangled with Aying's. They were even closer than a husband and wife, and they were almost inseparable from each other.
But in reality, Xu Cheng and Ah Ying don't look like a couple.
Goddess of Destiny thought that they usually avoided her when they were intimate, and specially instigated Xinghu, a little spy, to rebel. As a result, Xinghu had never seen any intimate behavior between his parents.
This made the goddess of fate very confused. She was a little confused about the relationship between Xu Cheng and Aying.
………
Xu Cheng has returned to the palace. Of course, he has noticed the little moves of the goddess of fate, but he is not interested in paying attention to her.
As for the relationship with Ah Ying, it's actually not that complicated. Both of them know each other's feelings, but neither one is willing to take the most critical step.
At first, Xu Cheng had no interest in falling in love in this era because there were so many girls waiting for him in the future.
Later, I noticed Aying's little thoughts and wanted to see how she took the initiative.
However, Ah Ying is like a traditional woman. In her mind, how can she speak first about this kind of thing?
And Xu Cheng was also aroused with the desire to win. He just wanted to see how long Aying could hold it in.
As a result, this holding back lasted for hundreds of years.
Both of them are a bit angry now, whoever speaks first will lose.
Back in the palace, Xu Cheng found A Ying hiding in the study.
Ah Ying is like a home girl. She usually likes to stay at home and read books. She never goes out unless necessary. She is completely different from Elizabeth, who claims to be a home girl.
Fake Otaku: Knows every god, has a wide range of friends, and can talk to anyone.
A true homebody: one who refuses to leave home for hundreds of years.
Seeing that Ah Ying was in a good mood, Xu Cheng asked knowingly: "Seeing that you are so happy, has something good happened?"
Ah Ying smiled slightly: "Guess."
She was indeed very happy, having been tortured by her injuries for hundreds of years, she was finally completely healed and fully restored to her full strength.
"I guess……"
Xu Cheng pretended to think about it: "Is your injury finally healed?"
"..."
"I guessed it right, can't you give me a happy reaction? Even if you just pretend."
"hehe!"
She was used to Xu Cheng's ability to predict the unknown, so she wasn't surprised at all.
The goddess of fate took Xinghu back to the palace and came to the study.
"Mother!"
Xinghu jumped directly into Aying's arms and rubbed her affectionately in her majestic chest.
Aying's eyes were gentle, and a motherly smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth. She gently wiped the remaining sweat on her forehead with her fingers.
In the beginning, she was not very close to this cheap daughter, but after raising her for a long time, her motherly nature was gradually inspired, and now she is no different from her own child.
"That's great."
Goddess of Destiny looked at this scene and said in a tone of envy or ridicule: "Such a cute child, even I want to raise one."
She suddenly turned to Xu Cheng and said, "How about we two have one child?"
Although he knew that the goddess of fate was joking, Ah Ying still cast a sharp look at her immediately: "If you have something to say, just say it, if nothing else, get out."
"You actually told me to get out? Is the friendship between us just paper?"
The goddess of destiny seemed to be hurt and started to cry and wipe her tears, but the three members of the family were indifferent and had long been immune to her behavior.
She was not embarrassed and quickly returned to her dignified appearance: "I have some good news for you. Do you want to hear it?"
Xu Cheng and Ah Ying were both indifferent, having long been immune to her talk.
Only the young Xinghu was fooled and quickly raised his little hand: "I want to hear it!"
Seeing that neither Xu Cheng nor Aying took the bait, the goddess of fate stopped having fun and said directly: "Just yesterday, the Golden Supreme King gave up his life and entered the kingdom of heaven, and at the same time passed the throne to his second son. Son Silver Star.”
Xu Cheng and Aying were shocked and looked at each other subconsciously.
Although they are enemies, we have to admit that the Golden Supreme King is powerful, and his deterrence is only inferior to that of the Great Lord.
Now, the Golden High King has finally left, which is undoubtedly great news for the gods.
Xinghu lay in Aying's arms and blinked her eyes. Apparently she didn't know that this golden supreme king was her grandfather by blood.
Xu Cheng asked the goddess of fate: "What else?"
Goddess of Destiny's eyes widened: "Isn't this news enough?"
Ah Ying interjected: "It would be enough for someone else, but for you, it's not necessarily so."
It is foreseeable that the Golden Supreme King will go to heaven. If there is no other news, the goddess of fate will not come to them specially.
"Okay, okay, I know I can't hide it from you, can't you just pretend to be ignorant and give me a sense of accomplishment?"
The goddess of fate complained, and then said: "After hearing the news, the gods are going to hold a gathering to discuss how to prevent the resurrection of the great lord. I came specifically to inform you to attend together. You can set off now. .”
Ah Ying frowned and said: "The Great Lord is not dead yet? Are we going to discuss dealing with him now?"
At least a hundred years ago, the Great Lord had entered the World Tree and began to absorb the toxins in the tree.
Although he no longer comes out, he can still see the fate of all living things in the world. The gods really don't take him seriously at all for such a blatant gathering.
"Don't worry, the great Lord will never come out again until his death."
The goddess of destiny said mysteriously: "This gathering is very important and necessary for us."
She can see destiny and the future. Since she said it is necessary, it is really necessary.
"Then you go."
Xu Cheng was not interested in attending any gathering of the gods: "My existence cannot be exposed to the sight of the great Lord, so I won't go."
"no!"
The goddess of fate flatly refused this time: "You must go, you are the protagonist of this party!"
Xu Cheng and Ah Ying looked at each other and asked curiously: "Did you see any key future?"
Goddess of Destiny smiled: "You will know when the time comes. It would be boring to say it now."
Knowing her character, Xu Cheng and Ah Ying had no choice but to tell her no matter how much they asked her.
Xu Cheng spread his hands: "But if I risk appearing in front of the gods, aren't I afraid of being discovered by the Great Lord?"
His existence is the key to preventing the Great Lord from resurrecting. Once the Great Lord notices it in advance, it will be completely over.
The goddess of fate patted her chest, causing a ripple: "With me here, what are you afraid of?"
She was able to completely hide Xu Cheng's fate. Even if the Great Lord stared out of his eyes, he would not be able to see his existence.
"However, you'd better cover up a little and don't let anyone remember your face."
Seeing what the goddess of fate said, Ah Ying had no choice but to take Xu Cheng to the bedroom and do some make-up for him.
Only Destiny and Xinghu were left in the study.
Xinghu came close to the goddess of destiny and asked in a low voice: "Sister, how on earth are children born?"
"Didn't your parents teach you?"
"No."
Goddess of Destiny rolled her eyes, then smiled, leaned into Xinghu's ear, and whispered: "Of course it's a villain that was pinched out with its own flesh and blood and energy. It's really fun."
Xinghu's young outlook was suddenly shocked: "Really?"
The goddess of destiny nodded and warned mysteriously: "Shh, this is a secret between adults. You must not let your parents know."
Xinghu quickly covered his mouth with his hands, and then nodded, saying that he would never say it.
When Xu Cheng and A Ying returned to the study together, he had changed. He was wearing a black robe, his hair was wrapped up, and he wore the same veil as A Ying's face, only revealing a pair of sparkling hair. Eye.
"Hey, you really look like a couple!"
The goddess of fate came to Xu Cheng's side and whispered: "Do you want me to tell you the reason why Aying always wears a veil?"
Xu Cheng pricked up his ears. In fact, he also asked Aying, but she only said it was because of some special reasons.
Before the goddess of fate could tell her the answer, she was forced to stop by Aying's sharp eyes.
"It's up to you to find the answer yourself."
The goddess of fate patted Xu Cheng on the shoulder, then dragged their hands: "Let's go, don't keep everyone waiting."
"Dad, mom, sister, goodbye!"
Xinghu followed all the way to the entrance of the palace, waving his little hand to say goodbye to the three of them.
After the three people disappeared, she immediately ran back to the palace, preparing to follow the method mentioned by the goddess of fate and try to see if she could pinch a few villains to play with.
…
The place where the gods chose to gather was the Molten City.
Xu Cheng was not very familiar with Molten City. He once defeated the dragon Legor in Molten City and obtained the remaining power of the God of Vulcan.
But none of these things have happened yet, Vulcan is still alive, and Molten City has not fallen yet.
That's right, the true appearance of Molten City is actually a floating city.
It keeps moving around high in the sky and never stops, so even hundreds of years after the Cult conquered the world, Molten City has never fallen.
However, Molten City is essentially the secret realm of the Vulcan, and is not a city in the conventional sense.
When Xu Cheng, Ah Ying and the Goddess of Destiny came to Molten City, they deliberately looked at it from the outside. They found that the appearance of Molten City was actually a volcano flying in the air.
This is the Mount Vesuvius of later generations.
Until the goddess of shadow and the goddess of fate came to visit, the god of fire personally came to the crater to greet them.
He looked like a thirty-year-old strong man, about four meters tall, with his hair and eyes blazing with flames, and his whole body surrounded by scorching sparks.
Standing next to him, even a person with super powers would lose control and spontaneously combust.
"Welcome, it's truly an honor for you both to come here."
Kagami was not rude, but polite, like a gentleman.
He put one hand on his chest, and after greeting Aying and the goddess of fate, he looked doubtfully at Xu Cheng, who had wrapped himself tightly: "Forgive my poor eyesight, who is this?"
Goddess of Destiny spoke first: "Hey, guess!"
Vulcan was also well aware of the eccentric character of the goddess of fate. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, I can't guess."
Ah Ying took the initiative to introduce: "He is the new God of Thunder and also my good friend."
The goddess of fate let out a long sigh: "Are they just good friends?"
Then he got a look from Ah Ying.
Vulcan was surprised. Of course he knew that Thor was dead, and originally thought he died at the hands of the Knights of God.
Now it seems that death in the hands of the Shadow Goddess is more likely. After all, the two parties have an unsolvable personal grudge.
However, Vulcan did not have any grievances against Thor. On the contrary, his relationship with Thor was actually not good.
"Hello, I am Vulcan Baroque."
Vulcan took the initiative to reach out to Xu Cheng: "This is our first meeting, please take care of me in the future."
"You're welcome, look out for each other."
Xu Cheng also showed a kind look and shook hands with Vulcan.
After all, he later obtained the power belonging to the God of Fire, and now he should give others some face.
