Bai Guyue nodded, also eager to know.
"That's because your wife will certainly get pregnant within a year. A year simply wouldn't be enough for you, especially since you still have to consummate your marriage with her. A year isn't enough, so I discussed it with Xiao Lu. Two years should be about right."
The God of Destruction had discussed it with the Goddess of Life, and two years for them were no more than two days in the Divine Realm, gone in the blink of an eye.
The Goddess of Life came back to herself and chuckled. "Junior, we're being very generous. The easier it is for you, the better. We can't have you wearing yourself out, busy making a baby and completing your God Trial at the same time."
After hearing this, Bai Guyue said, "Sorry to trouble you both, seniors."
"No need to stand on ceremony. We're in no hurry. Once your child is born, I'll bestow a blessing upon them."
The Goddess of Life smiled cheerfully.
"A blessing?" Bai Guyue was immediately curious. "What effect will it have?"
What effect would a blessing from the Goddess of Life have?
The Goddess of Life raised a finger to her lips and smiled mysteriously.
"Heaven's secrets must not be revealed. You'll find out when the time comes. If I told you now, you wouldn't have anything to look forward to."
As they talked, a stunningly beautiful figure suddenly walked in from outside.
"You're all here. I was going to have a chat with you, but it looks like you're busy with important business."
"This is..."
Bai Guyue looked her up and down and made a brief probe of her divine power aura. He recognized who she was.
"Little fellow, let me introduce myself. I'm the Godess of Kindness, one of the Five Great God Kings."
When the Godess of Kindness first saw Bai Guyue, she gave him a slight smile in greeting and introduced herself.
Bai Guyue suppressed the shock in his heart and replied politely, "Greetings, God King of Goodness."
The Godess of Kindness nodded and reached out to stroke Bai Guyue's head. "There's no need to be so polite, little fellow."
Before Bai Guyue could react, the God of Life slapped the Godess of Kindness's hand away.
"Kindness, don't fool around. You're frightening the junior."
The God of Life warned the Godess of Kindness.
The Godess of Kindness chuckled. "It's not a big deal to touch his head. Besides, the little fellow didn't resist, did he?"
"Oh, get out of here!"
The God of Life rolled her eyes.
"You call that not reacting? He was completely numb."
How could the dignified God King of Goodness be so childish?
Bai Guyue grumbled inwardly, They're all dignified God Kings, yet every one of them has strange quirks.
All I did was touch his head. Surely there's no need for such a big reaction? the Godess of Kindness muttered inwardly. She had only come to pay a visit.
"You never usually go out, yet now you've come to my Temple of Life. Did the sun rise in the west?"
The Goddess of Life teased her.
"What business is it of yours whether I go out or not? Besides, I only came to chat with you and Destruction."
The Godess of Kindness retorted.
Wasn't the Goddess of Life a little too protective of her own?
She was this worked up over a touch on the head. If I'd hit him, wouldn't she fight me to the death?
"Since you're here, and considering how abruptly you acted just now, you have to leave something behind as compensation."
The Goddess of Life suddenly said.
"Huh? Why should I?!"
The Godess of Kindness was furious. It had been a long time since she'd gotten angry.
So this is what being angry feels like?
"Because I'm the Goddess of Life, and Little Zi is right here beside me. If you don't leave something behind, I'll make you suffer the consequences!"
The Goddess of Life threatened.
The Godess of Kindness was speechless.
The God of Destruction also looked helpless. My Xiao Lu, what are you up to now?
"Fine, fine, fine!" The Godess of Kindness gave in, gritting her teeth. "Go on, tell me what you want me to give up."
She didn't want to damage their relationship either.
"Don't rush!"
Then the Goddess of Life turned to Bai Guyue. "Junior, give me your World-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword!"
With a thought from Bai Guyue, the World-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword appeared in his hand, and he passed it to the Goddess of Life.
The Goddess of Life took the World-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword and said to the Godess of Kindness:
"Draw out some of your Godess of Kindness origin power and add it to this sword."
"This sword..."
The Godess of Kindness spotted the clues at a glance.
The sword contained the origin powers of both destruction and life. In other words, it was a Martial Soul created jointly by Life and Destruction.
"I imagine you've guessed where this sword came from. Hurry up, don't keep me waiting too long."
The God of Life urged her on.
The Godess of Kindness rolled her eyes at the Goddess of Life. "I know."
With that, the Godess of Kindness closed her eyes and began extracting her origin power. A ball of white light appeared in her hand, and the power continued to grow stronger.
After extracting a portion of her origin power, the Godess of Kindness immediately infused it into the World-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword. The moment she did, the Heaven-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword began to shine brilliantly.
It was one with Bai Guyue, and he likewise felt this powerful force.
The Godess of Kindness's origin power.
The Goddess of Life was really good to him.
The Heaven-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword also began to undergo subtle changes.
From a distance, it was still the World-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword, with three colors intertwined: emerald green and gold, purple and black, and chaotic grayish white.
Only up close could one see warmth in the grayish white, silver tracing the purple-black edge, and a hint of dawn white hidden within the green and gold.
The World-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword flew from the Goddess of Life's hand back into Bai Guyue's.
"The change isn't great, but there's a lot more power."
Bai Guyue began to feel it out.
"I've really taken a huge loss." The Godess of Kindness looked deeply aggrieved.
"Bandit! An utter bandit!" the Godess of Kindness scolded. "Goddess of Life, you're acting just like a bandit! All I did was touch the child's head. He's the God of Destruction's inheritor, and once he comes to the Divine Realm, I'll inevitably have dealings with him. But look at you, tricking me straight out of a portion of my origin power."
Who acted like that?
The Godess of Kindness wanted to cry but had no tears.
The Goddess of Life paid her no mind and spoke in a thoroughly smug tone:
"So what? What can you do to me? Go on, hit me if you dare!"
The corner of the Godess of Kindness's eye twitched, and her fists clenched involuntarily.
The God of Destruction couldn't stand watching anymore and hurriedly intervened. "That's enough, Xiao Lu. Kindness has already given up some origin power."
The Goddess of Life pursed her lips. "Fine. I'll let her off for your sake."
It was finally over.
"Destruction, are you just going to indulge Life's willfulness like this?" the Godess of Kindness said unhappily.
"Calm down, Kindness. Besides, giving a little origin power to my inheritor won't cost you anything, right?"
As Life's partner, he naturally stood on her side. Besides, wasn't everything Life had done for Bai Guyue's sake?
"You... you two are driving me mad."
The Godess of Kindness spoke angrily and was about to turn and leave, but the World-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword in Bai Guyue's hand began to change. She immediately stopped to see what would happen.
After the three God Kings watched the World-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword undergo a series of changes, its form still hadn't changed.
"Little fellow, why hasn't your World-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword changed?" the Godess of Kindness asked.
Bai Guyue raised the World-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword.
"Senior Kindness, the World-Creating Heaven-Destroying Sword is now in Kindness Glimmer Form. The change isn't very great, but its essence has changed."
