"Hou! Hou!" An enormous dragon that had transparent scales opened its wings and roared.
It was only fifteen feet long with its wings wide open, which meant it was a baby dragon. At the moment, it was flying above the Floating-space City, while roaring to show its great might.
Many fairies were so scared that they hid under the gigantic Tree of the Fairies. Amid the castles and palaces, Eva whistled from the square. Immediately, the dragon dove toward Eva like a puppy, having heard her summoning it.
It then rubbed its neck against Eva and let her stroke its neck."Adolphus, you're being mischievous again!" Eva scolded in a teasing tone.
The dragon was a pet that used to belong to Verthandi and Delmedi. Since then, it had been enhanced by Lu Zhiyu, and it now looked more beautiful than ever.
It looked like a glittering piece of jade, which every girl and woman would go crazy over. However, after the two girls had grown tired of taking care of it, Eva had assumed the responsibility of taking care of it.
When Eva was raising Adulphus, she gave it her power to pause time, which had transformed Adulphus from a mere pet dragon into a creature that was stronger than most of the beings in Maria's World! This also gave it much more potential to be even greater in the future.
Eva loved the dragon deeply, which was why she also gave it the domain power that Lu Zhiyu had bestowed upon her. However, since that time, Eva had become a legendary creature. Now, her life form and body structure were fundamentally different from that of a mere mechanic doll.
As Eva learnt more about the sorcerers' knowledge, she was also improving her body. Thanks to Lu Zhiyu, she was learning endless theorems and a vast amount of knowledge of this world.
As for Lu Zhiyu, at the moment, he was sitting in the enormous witchcraft garden. There were several levels of the garden, all of which were enclosed by glass.
Inside the garden were all sorts of special plants. The water was constantly flowing in the fall and spring, cascading alongside the witchcraft garden, which looked like a bird cage, then circulating around it. This was a garden where rare magic-reinforced plants were being nurtured.
At the moment, Lu Zhiyu didn't seem to be doing anything. In fact, he was actually waiting for someone and preparing for something.
All of a sudden, two traces of light arrived from the sky, then went directly through the dome and enchantment that encircled the Floating-sky City. They arrived on the ground and went toward the witchcraft garden that belonged to Lu Zhiyu.
With Eva in the lead, the two of them followed her and went inside the garden. One of them immediately rushed toward Lu Zhiyu and laughed, while saying, "Dad, I'm back!"
"Okay! Stop being such a child, Delmedi!" As Lu Zhiyu put Delmedi down, she was still held onto his arms.
Lu Zhiyu then looked at Cetisius, who was standing beside the spring in the witchcraft garden, below the giant trees. The moment that Cetisius saw Lu Zhiyu, he couldn't stay calm. Then, when he saw Eva, Cetisius felt shaken all of a sudden.
Cetisius suddenly recalled that 200 years ago, when he was standing in the desert and sand was fluttering all around him. He had been inside that fortress that looked like a lone island, and it was that man who had held his ears and brought light and color into his life!
And... He was also the same man who stroked his forehead in the godly temple of Pusueto under the witness of the silver moon, then gave him the revelation that he desired, marking Cetisius as his representative. Even after 200 years, Cetisius still hadn't forgotten anything that had happened in that fortress. Cetisius wasn't afraid of anyone, even the gods who were in control of life and death, but he couldn't forget that man!
He had only been a slave back then, a priest of Temple of Sky who didn't matter. He was only a teenager when he was first marked, yet he was now an elder who had been through a lot.
As he thought of this, Cetisius couldn't help but tear up. He groveled as he crawled toward Lu Zhiyu, then kissed his boot, just like he did in the desert all those years ago.
"Randil, my lord, it's Cetisius! I'm back!" he said.
The sun cast its light through the glass window outside, its rays falling on the enormous witchcraft garden. Inside that witchcraft garden, traces of light cast long shadows on everyone. As Lu Zhiyu and Cetisius were standing among the light and the shadows, it looked other-worldly, almost like this meeting had been in the making for two centuries!
"Have you built your ideal kingdom yet, Cetisius? You wanted good things to happen to good people and bad things to happen to bad people, and you also wanted to purify everyone so that they wouldn't indulge in their own pleasures and selfish wars anymore. You also wanted people to put aside their prejudices and conflicts in order to build a future together. Have you seen this future, yet? Are you satisfied with your life?" Lu Zhiyu asked as he looked at Cetisius.
He recalled the future that Cetisius had envisioned and the accomplishments that he wanted to achieve when Lu Zhiyu had given him the revelation. Upon hearing his question, Cetisius suddenly felt shamed.
He knelt down beside Lu Zhiyu's feet and started to wail, "I didn't do it, my lord!"
Lu Zhiyu held his arms and helped him up. His eyes still looked tranquil as he smiled. He did not seem angry at all, but gratified.
"No, you've done a great job, and I believe that you'll do better in the future! Just follow your ambition and build a world of death that represents your expectations and dreams! In this world, it's impossible to achieve equality among living men, but death is the same for everyone! Even gods can't guarantee that they won't face the end of the time!" Lu Zhiyu assured him.
Cetisius stood up and looked at Lu Zhiyu. His face looked innocent and youthful, and smile curved at the edge of his lips. He looked very honest as he exclaimed, "I will! I promise that I will establish a world of death that is ruled by order, justice, and equality!"
Several days later, in the Light Major God Kingdom, a trace of light shone on the major godly throne that represented the authority of the major god. It formed an enormous godly light and shadow that filled the entire sky, and countless light bands were scattered all over the god kingdom, each casting traces of white shadows.
Kelly, the Goddess of Light, immediately noticed what was going on around her, and she instantly knew who was here. The enormous shadow of the god waved its hand, and she saw the angels surrounding the floating island.
She looked at Lu Zhiyu in silence. It seemed like she had been awaiting his arrival all this time.
After Lu Zhiyu entered the Light Major God Kingdom, he looked at up Kelly and said, "Kelly, I might be away for a while!"
"Away? Going where?" she asked.
"Outside this world! A distant place that you have never heard of before!" he replied.
Kelly paused for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, my lord. I will take care of everything here!"
"I'll give you all of the access to and authority over my god kingdom!" Lu Zhiyu looked at Kelly, then said, "No matter what happens, you three will always be the most important people to me. Nothing in this realm matters to me, and I don't need any of this as long as you three are safe."
He then added, "Wait for me... I will come back!"
As soon as Lu Zhiyu finished talking, an enormous shadow of god slipped into the hollow space before turning into a small light spot. In this way, he disappeared from this world!
