After evolving from an eagle-man into an angel, I annihilated the gods.

A few months later.

After many hardships, Anastasia finally gained a foothold in this small town.

When she faced the world alone, her intelligence and wisdom also became apparent.

Using a few silver coins as a base, she did some small business that adults considered a small transaction, which enabled her to obtain food and water to survive.

Of course, this is also related to the "phenomena" that Anatania exhibited.

Within a few months, a bakery burned down, a street newsstand lost all its newspapers in the wind, and three homeless people from a small town drowned.

After bullying Anna, they all met a tragic end, seemingly by fate.

The town is small, and many things happen right before the eyes of the residents.

People say that the girl is protected by the ancient true king.

Anastasia thought so too.

One afternoon.

The sun is just right.

Anastasia curled up on the grass by the river in town, clutching the black bread she had worked so hard to earn, and covering the few silver coins hidden in her bosom.

This is all she has left.

A few days ago.

Her temporary residence in the town, a shack, was cleared out by the town guards.

The newly appointed mayor of Esha will not allow anything that affects the town's appearance to exist.

As a result, homeless children like Anastasia were driven out.

Taking this opportunity, Anastasia and several homeless children discussed finding a new place to live together.

As a Sequence 9, Anastasia may not be respected by adults, but she is a powerful figure in the hearts of homeless children.

Commonly known as the "King of Children".

However, the town is only so big.

They searched for several days but couldn't find a suitable place.

This day.

Anastasia couldn't take it anymore, so she came to the grassy area by the river to rest for a while before continuing her search.

She kept praying for the Sun King's blessing, then found a quiet place and curled up to sleep.

But after a few minutes of sleeping, she fell into a deep sleep.

Fortunately, her physique was already extraordinary, so she was not trapped by cold or high temperature.

As the sun began to set, Anastasia, in a state between sleep and wakefulness, felt as if a huge shadow was looming over her, blocking the sunlight from falling on her.

It appeared to be an adult standing in front of her.

A warm, spring-like aura emanated from this person and enveloped Anastasia.

Facing this person.

Anastasia's months of cultivated vigilance had no effect; her eyelids struggled to open, only to droop back down as if in a fight.

She was immersed in this warm atmosphere, which made her feel even safer than the atmosphere given to her by her father, mother, and her brother in the past.

In a daze.

Anastasia seemed to hear a gentle voice.

"Thank you for your hard work, my Anna."

Does he know my name? Is he someone I knew in the kingdom? Is he a nobleman who remained loyal to the royal family in the Kingdom of Gabriel?

Once the thought arose in her mind, it became impossible to suppress.

then.

She opened her eyes in the golden glow of the setting sun.

next moment.

Her eyes widened.

She saw a handsome young man with an unparalleled face, as gentle as a celestial being, looking at her tenderly.

With his silver hair and purple eyes, and his upright posture, he possessed an unparalleled noble air under the golden sunlight, captivating her heart.

For an instant.

Anastasia felt a deep sense of inferiority.

She lowered her head.

He was like the sun, while she was just a blade of grass by the roadside.

"Anna, you're awake?"

The man, as gentle as the sun, spoke softly.

Anastasia looked up.

"You know my name, you are..."

She finally found an opportunity to carefully examine the young man in front of her.

Silver hair! Purple eyes!

She covered her mouth, somewhat shocked.

"You wouldn't happen to be a descendant of the Sun King, would you?"

The young man was speechless.

"The Sun King had no offspring, little princess."

"Then who are you?"

"I, like you, am a wanderer in this era."

The young man smiled.

He bent down, took Anastasia's little hand, and exclaimed in a language Anastasia couldn't understand.

“I originally didn’t want to appear before you at this time and delay your growth trajectory. However, I thought about it again. I am the supreme ruler. If I can’t even protect you in history, what’s the point?”

"But I don't want to change you. In the future, your intelligence, strength, and courage will all come from these hardships."

"So, based on these points, I will not change your experience, but give you some surprises."

"For example, today is your birthday."

He took Anastasia to the town's most luxurious restaurant, where they ate the best meal, and then placed a protective force upon her.

Finally, he took Anastasia to the highest mountain in the vicinity, where they counted the stars all night, and left at dawn.

Before leaving, he made a promise with Anastasia.

"Anna, you must grow up strong and healthy. I will come to see you every year on your birthday until you grow up successfully."

Jiang You ultimately decided to accompany Anastasia in this way.

The sun rises in the sky.

Jiang You left.

Anastasia sat on the lawn, feeling like she was dreaming.

At this time.

Several homeless children ran over, looking at her with surprise and delight.

"Big Sister Anna, we've found a new place to live."

"where is it?"

"In the forest, there is a large wooden house. Sister Jelena cleaned and tidied it up, and it's big enough for several of us to live in."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Anastasia smiled.

For the next nine years, Jiang You kept his promise and visited Anastasia once a year on her birthday.

....

Nine years later.

Anastasia is eighteen years old.

By this time, she had blossomed into an absolutely stunning beauty.

Several years ago.

Anastasia then took several homeless children and set up a business in town.

For a period of time, the young people in the town also suddenly realized what was going on and began to pursue this incredibly beautiful girl relentlessly.

Even the town mayor's son was captivated by this rose from Esha.

They had assumed that the girl, who came from a homeless background, would choose to marry into a well-off family in town.

But they were wrong.

Anastasia had already become a Sequence 8 transcendent without their knowledge.

The town doesn't even have a decent nobleman, so naturally they can't keep this phoenix.

When Anatania reached Sequence 8 at the age of 17, she wanted to leave the town and go to the Southern Empire.

She shared her thoughts with several of her childhood friends, who all followed her lead.

But when everything was ready, she hesitated to set off.

The others found it very strange.

But then Anastasia said that she was waiting for someone to say goodbye.

And so they waited until Anastasia's eighteenth birthday.
