God's Gift

Lu Keming's pupils were unfocused as he stared motionlessly at Yu Youyou.

Suddenly, a green current flowed through the air, bringing Lu Keming back from his wandering thoughts. He glanced to the side and discovered that the source of the green was the antlers left behind by Fores.

The green light, like countless fireflies, flew through the ruins of the city and gathered towards Yu Youyou.

Where the green light shines, wild grasses grow rapidly, sprouting stems and leaves, and emerging as tiny flower buds.

The flower buds slowly unfurled, revealing pink oxalis, pale yellow pansies, and white bellflowers. Countless colorful flowers swayed in the wind.

The dark clouds in the sky finally dispersed, and raindrops fell to the ground, becoming moisture to nourish the flowers and plants, allowing them to grow faster.

Lu Keming's gaze followed the green lights, watching them fall on Yu Youyou, pass through her skin, and enter her body.

He murmured, "Return to the source."

The seventh divine power of the deep-sea deity.

The seventh divine power that Oshi will only gain when he comes of age.

This means that the power of other gods originates from their source—the ocean.

Just as life emerges from the ocean and ultimately returns to the ocean.

While Lu Keming was in a daze, the divine power belonging to Fores surrounded Youyou and eventually entered her body.

Wildflowers in full bloom surrounded them, and several colorful butterflies fluttered from the flowers and landed on Youyou's hair.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou: "You're an adult now."

It turns out that she retrieved her origin here.

Yu Youyou shifted her gaze from the green light spot, turned to look at Lu Keming, and nodded gently.

Lu Keming remained silent for a long time, his eyes reflecting Yu Youyou's image. After a long while, he grinned, revealing a bitter smile:

"fair enough."

"You must defeat Dark Star." Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou, his voice filled with determination: "Then this time, I will destroy it completely."

To everyone's surprise, Yu Youyou refused without hesitation: "No."

Lu Keming's breath hitched. "Why?"

"It's inside your body." Yu Youyou's voice was calm as she placed her hand on Lu Keming's heart, feeling the burning heat beneath her touch.

"It has become one with you."

If it is destroyed, Lu Keming will also die.

Lu Keming stared intently at Yu Youyou, a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "So you knew everything."

He lowered his head and mumbled absentmindedly, "You know everything."

Suddenly, glistening tears slid down Lu Keming's cheeks. The continuous stream of tears was like a torrential downpour, the dense raindrops completely engulfing him and robbing him of his breath.

The suffocating pain gripped him, forcing him to bend over and gasp for breath.

How could you be so cruel to me?

Lu Keming abruptly pushed Yu Youyou's hand away, tears streaming down his chin, veins bulging on his neck, as he questioned her in a hoarse voice:

"why treat me like this!"

He glared at the fish-shaped tattoo on her arm, his hatred almost overwhelming him: "You knew it all along."

"Long ago..." His breath caught in his throat with extreme anger, his hands clenching and unclenching:

"Everything was planned long ago."

He staggered to his feet, looked down at Yu Youyou, and kept backing away: "This is not fair."

Lu Keming kept muttering, "Why did you leave me all alone?"

Why can't he change anything?

After a long while, Lu Keming stopped crying. He looked at Yu Youyou and suddenly started laughing maniacally again, his eyes gradually turning mad.

"Then let's die together."

It's better to die together than for him to remain alone in this world.

Yu Youyou watched as Lu Keming gradually went mad, then suddenly took a few steps forward, grabbed his collar, and kissed him on the cheek while standing on tiptoe.

Salty tears flowed into my mouth, covering my tongue, and the bitterness spread down my throat.

Yu Youyou felt the bitterness of her tears, just as she felt Lu Keming's pain.

Lu Keming's pupils suddenly dilated as he stared blankly at Yu Youyou's face, which was so close to his.

All his anger and resentment, along with his tears, were swallowed by Yu Youyou.

At this moment, Lu Keming was like a punctured balloon, all his desperate words leaking out and disappearing into his throat.

Lu Keming's body went limp, and the sky and earth began to spin before his eyes, causing him to fall backward uncontrollably and be submerged in the sea of ​​flowers.

The sweet fragrance of flowers and plants filled Lu Keming's nostrils, plunging him into a beautiful dream.

Yu Youyou sat on Lu Keming's chest, her body rising and falling with the movement of his chest. She looked down at Lu Keming's dazed eyes, paused briefly, and then leaned down to kiss him.

The kiss was like a little fish, with endless tickling sensation, gently brushing against Lu Keming's cheeks, eyes, and nose, before finally landing on his lips.

Lu Keming held his breath, his fingers unconsciously gripping the stigma beside him, the petals crushing pink juice between his pale fingers.

The juice dripped onto his silvery-white hair, staining it with a decadent, vibrant color.

Before Lu Keming could suffocate, Yu Youyou's lips finally left his. Lu Keming almost instinctively straightened up to chase after her kiss, but Yu Youyou pressed him back into the sea of ​​flowers.

"I don't know what the future holds."

Yu Youyou looked down at Lu Keming, "But if I leave you temporarily, I will definitely tell you and ask you to wait for me."

"As long as you are here, I will definitely come back."

"You must not have been listening to me properly."

“I heard you,” Lu Keming answered without hesitation, an unfulfilled desire churning within him, causing his Adam's apple to bob uncontrollably.

"I listened to what you said carefully and waited for you for a very, very long time."

He grabbed Yu Youyou's hand and placed it near his face. The juice from her hand passed through his and ended up smeared all over his cheek.

But you never came back.

The pink flower juice smeared on the corners of his eyes made his already delicate and beautiful features even more exquisite.

"Then let's wait a little longer." Yu Youyou reached out and wiped the juice off Lu Keming's cheek, gently rubbing her fingertips against his smooth face.

"There will be a tomorrow when I will return to your side."

After the dark clouds dispersed, the sun emerged from behind the clouds, and its rays fell on Yu Youyou's hair, shimmering with golden light.

Lu Keming stared up at Yu Youyou in a daze, her appearance gradually overlapping with his beautiful dream.

Never before had Lu Keming felt more strongly that he had her back than now.

"Therefore, open the time portal." Yu Youyou's voice rang in Lu Keming's ears:

“Return to the time and space you belong to.”

Lu Keming paused for a second, then looked away again, awkwardly avoiding Yu Youyou's gaze.

Yu Youyou could tell from Lu Keming's evasive manner that he didn't completely trust her.

She sighed and turned Lu Keming's face towards her with her hand:

"You must open the time-space portal again."

Under Lu Keming's puzzled gaze, Yu Youyou continued, "You are the only god who has opened a spacetime tunnel."

She leaned close to Lu Keming's ear and whispered:

"Only you can take Mom back to the past."

These words exploded in Lu Keming's ears, leaving him stunned for a long time. He turned his head blankly towards Xiao Ou's direction, and Yu Youyou's smiling voice reached his ears:

"Ke Ming, I was born into this world because of you."
