Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.
Chapter 72 She was the hidden glimmer of hope.
late at night.
Everyone spent the night of reunion busy, and when they could finally rest, they lay down on their beds and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Even at this point, Lu Yu had not gone to sleep.
She slowly walked out of the bedroom, gently pushed open the door, closed it, and walked to the door of the next room.
The neighbor's door was ajar, seemingly waiting for someone to come and petition.
Lu Yu knocked three times lightly, then pushed open the door and went inside.
Inside the door sat the familiar figure of Mr. Qingyi. The man who had said he was going to accompany his wife on a business trip seemed to have never left.
"...You've arrived? Let's have some tea..."
The gentleman spoke in a calm tone, gesturing for Lu Yu to sit down.
The girl was a little uneasy. She sat down, carefully picked up the cup of tea in front of her that was at the perfect temperature, and took a small sip.
"Sir... no... Lord Fuxi, when did you find out?"
Lu Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Shouldn't you know that very well? It was from the very beginning."
Mr. Feng, also known as Fuxi, put down his teacup and helplessly tapped her head with his finger: "You understand perfectly well, yet you still don't want to wake up... Little Fish, it's time to go out."
Lu Yu remained silent.
Yes, she knows it better than anyone...
The Mid-Autumn Festival shouldn't have happened during summer vacation; the grandfather who shouldn't have liked drinking tea and playing chess; the father who couldn't cook braised pork at all... and the young and beautiful mother...
Everything is in chaos.
Grandpa practiced swordsmanship his whole life, and he couldn't sit still, so he liked to go downstairs to exercise on weekdays...
Although my father is the head chef in the family, he prefers a healthy lifestyle and never cooks oily or meaty dishes at night...
Mom... she usually dislikes it when her mom buys too many desserts, so why would she buy so many for her at once...?
And most importantly...
The biggest problem is...
After an unknown period of time, Lu Yu could no longer remember what her relatives looked like... All those memories she used to cherish were now blurred...
How could a loved one appear so clearly before my eyes, as if they had never changed...?
These are all dreams...
Yet it didn't feel like a dream.
At least in the twelve years since they were lost, Lu Yu has never dreamed of them.
Every time she woke up in the middle of the night, she was always confused, wondering if she had been too naughty when she was young...
Because she loves the desserts sold at the entrance of the community downstairs, she always makes her grandfather queue up.
The six-year-old child was well-behaved, and the grandparents would always secretly buy her treats behind her mother's back.
That afternoon, the little girl's grandfather collapsed on his way to buy dessert for his beloved granddaughter.
Lu Yu no longer likes desserts...
After his father passed away, Dad was incredibly sad. He sat alone in his study until dawn, but he never scolded the little girl...
My mom is so beautiful. She always loves to hold parent-teacher conferences so that everyone can see that they have the most beautiful and gentlest mom in the world.
But on their way to her parent-teacher conference, the family was run over by a large truck that suddenly appeared.
In that instant, she, only seven years old, was pushed away by her own parents, becoming the only lucky one in this disaster.
Lu was lucky; she survived.
But she was also unfortunate, as she was all alone.
No one bought her desserts, no one cooked for her, and no one went to the temple to draw lots and ask for divination for their beloved daughter during festivals...
She was raised by a kind neighbor and grew up on her own.
She admires those powerful and fearless beings, just as she hopes that one day she can become like them, so that when accidents happen, it is not herself who is protected, but the person she loves most.
……
Lu Yu's tears, which she had held back all day, finally fell. At first, they fell drop by drop, and then it seemed that she could no longer stop them, like a lake bursting its banks, soaking her clothes.
"Why are you crying..." Fuxi sighed, and finally took out a handkerchief and gently held it under her eyes.
"Man proposes, God disposes; and one's circumstances are shaped by one's mind."
It was the third line of the divination slip that only she could see.
Lu Yu raised her head: "This is actually what you wanted to tell me, sir..."
Fuxi shook his head: "It's your own subconscious..."
He glanced at the teacup that Lu Yu had drunk from.
"Did you understand what I said to you?"
That sentence...
How many people in the world can actually get everything they want? People just don't realize that they live their lives like a figment of their imagination.
But what's the difference between a deer and a fish?
I have never received it.
Lord Fuxi, if this is the lesson you taught me, is there any way to make it come true...?
Is this a dream for you?
Fuxi suddenly asked.
The girl's eyes were brimming with tears: "Isn't that right? I can't remember their faces at all... but this time I saw them so clearly..."
It's fine if it's just a dream...
"Have you ever thought about... why you can see clearly?"
Although the ancient gods lived for countless years, they were not good teachers at guiding students, as can be seen from the fact that they entrusted the little girl to Yuanshi, who had taught people, at an early age.
But since the students are destined to go down this dead end, he, as their guide, still has to keep an eye on them.
This is also why Fuxi came to this world and became the neighbor of the learned and knowledgeable Mr. Wind.
"But this isn't a dream... Little Fish."
Fuxi seemed to understand why his wife paid so much attention to her relatives...
"They miss you, just as... you brought them into your life..."
"The rules I am good at, though they are based on the Eight Trigrams, ultimately originate from the laws of time and space."
Otherwise, how can we see the changes in the future through the barriers of time and space?
As Fuxi looked around, the surroundings became increasingly blurry amidst Lu Yu's growing agitation.
"You were not subject to cause and effect, which meant you were destined to have no family..."
But you had the care of your grandfather and parents, even though it was only for a few short years.
“Little fish…they aren’t a dream…when they die, they won’t appear in dreams anymore…”
"You will slowly forget them because they are truly dead, but they come back to you because of their concern for you..."
……
Fuxi's words struck Lu Yu's brain like a heavy hammer, tearing apart everything she had forgotten.
original……
So, in the very beginning of its creation...
She was born with knowledge but had no family.
In a daze, she seemed to hear the familiar voice she had heard that year:
"Don't you have any family...?"
"...Yes..."
"...What you say is the truth, and everyone will love you if you want to..."
"Then I want a grandpa who will buy me candy... and loving mom and dad... that would be fine too, right..."
"Um……"
"I want to grow up like a normal child... I don't want to be born with knowledge... That's okay, right..."
"Yes……"
"Then let's meet again today, eighteen years from now... I'm going to be a good boy now..."
……
She became a good child...
But she's an outcast in this world, so how could she possibly grow up normally...?
Looking at the girl kneeling on the ground, burying her face in her hands and crying uncontrollably, Fuxi could only sigh, deeply moved: "They appeared according to your will, and truly possessed life..."
But you can no longer stay when you lose your power.
Life is unpredictable, and fate can be cruel.
This is what it means to have both good and bad fortune...
The girl kneeling on the ground had her hair turn white again at some point. Her blue eyes, red from crying, looked around at the chaotic space and fell silent.
"Little Fish... Grandpa is gone, but Mom and Dad are still here..."
"Little Fish, I'm sorry... It's still Mid-Autumn Festival today... Dad really wanted to spend the holiday with you..."
"Little fish... Mommy's gone. Don't forget to eat less sugar... Grow up well... and be happy forever..."
They had too many regrets, and even with twelve years separating them, they wanted to put an end to them.
Her loving parents couldn't rest easy about their seven-year-old daughter. No matter how many twelve-year cycles passed, she was still not grown up in their eyes.
If a miracle really happens...
Please let them celebrate another Mid-Autumn Festival...
She will have a wonderful reunion, with her mother bringing back endless desserts, her father cooking meals, and her grandfather buying the best pears. They will never be separated...
Silent longing transcends time and space.
…………
She remembered...
How ridiculous...
It turns out that the world she thought she belonged to... was just a space she had entered as an outsider.
She doesn't have a home at all...
She wandered around.
Just because... she was that so-called glimmer of hope.
She is the hidden vitality that makes one's wishes come true.
"...Thank you, sir..."
The girl choked out her sobs, her head bowed.
She knew that without Fuxi, this space created by her in her current state would dissipate in an instant.
But Fuxi used his power to keep this place intact for so long, until she spent this Mid-Autumn Festival with her family, a festival that shouldn't have happened in the height of summer.
"Please just call me sir..."
I've already accepted you...
Fuxi's voice was gentle, just as calm and at ease as whenever Lu Yu brought his grandfather over for tea.
"……Um……"
Lu Yu watched as the intertwined blue and red lines on his wrist began to subtly change.
Originally, only red threads were embedded in the skin, but now, a slightly darker blue thread has also intertwined with the red thread and fallen into the flesh.
"Let's consider this Mid-Autumn Festival gift from our neighbor, Mr. Feng, to his agent—Little Fish..."
A sudden burst of blue light transformed the chaotic space into an orderly one in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yu understood,
now---
Her second divine ruin has been opened.
That is……
A guardian that transcends time.
In the dim light, the girl, through the barriers of time and space, returned to the time when she was all alone.
She has decided to live as an ordinary person...
But the voice that had always been there for her seemed a little lonely.
"Then let's promise that on this day when I turn eighteen, we will meet again... and at that time I will call your name!"
"I have no name..."
"...Eh? Then I'll pick one for you."
The small ball of light, about to take human form, flickered a few times and said excitedly, "I'm lonely because I know too much. Those who know don't speak, and those who speak don't know."
"Little cutie, why don't you call yourself 'The Speaker'? Knowing less will definitely make you less lonely!"
"Moreover... the speaker leaves his name behind, so even if you don't remember me in the future, you'll definitely remember the name I gave you!"
Why wouldn't I remember you?
The little ball of light laughed: "Because only by forgetting who I am now can our first meeting truly begin in the future!"
"When that time comes, let's create even happier memories together!"
The program named "The Speaker" paused for only half a second, somewhat puzzled as to why it had such a strange feeling, but still agreed to the beautiful wish.
"it is good……"
.........
Eighteen years later...
"Hello, Chief Fiction Writer, I am your guiding system: The Speaker."
"Hello~"
"...Just call me Yan Zhe."
"The speaker..."
"Those who speak out!!"
.........
Lu Yu suddenly smiled; it was a joy that blossomed anew from the darkness.
It is pure expectation.
Unbeknownst to her, she had already embarked on a brighter future...
May our little fish be happy forever!
