Chapter 298 Father
"Father" is above the laws of nature, yet controls the laws of nature.
This is the "truth" that the outstanding eldest son of the Tianli lineage came into contact with by chance when he was still young.
When they first met, He only appeared as a vague black and white light and shadow, but He tried to declare to the noble young master of Sky Island that He was beyond the world, that He had the power to create the world, and that He should be respected as "Father".
"Then why did you come to see me?" The young boy stood obediently at the edge of the universe, as if he did not believe the one-sided words, and raised his eyebrows in a playful, provocative, and bright and innocent way...
"Don't be so hypocritical. My masterpiece is so proud..."
Therefore, the calmness in the God's eyes finally froze at this moment, and the young face was filled with an extremely suppressed gloom, and he looked at Him from a distance: "How could a God like me..."
"Of course you are pretending, Luo. You are secretly happy that your talent is amazing enough and your strength surpasses that of all gods. Among all living beings, you are the only one who has been received by me..."
"You are proud, because you are proud of being born as the top god among gods. You are different from all people and gods, and no life can arouse your full interest..."
Slowly raising his hand and lightly touching the boy's surprised cheek, the "father" slowly revealed a gentle and deep smile, and with a low and hoarse tone without even a trace of emotional fluctuation, he tore off the young god's excellent disguise.
"You even pity the masterpiece I created with my own hands. You can't think of a reasonable excuse for why those insignificant and humble humans are so lucky to receive the mercy of God..."
"I..." The god lowered his head slightly, revealing a slight annoyance, but the light in his eyes became more and more turbulent as the other party spoke, "I really don't understand. Are you... really a "father"? "
In the dim corners, the corners of His mouth gradually outlined the lines of a smile. His eyes were gentle and light, showing his control: "Your mother taught you very well."
“Do you know who my mother is…!?” Facing the boy’s sudden gaze, the “father” still smiled and gently stroked his tender shoulders, his bewitching gesture was already fully revealed.
"She taught you how to love, but she forgot to teach you why to love.
She taught you what kind of God humans like, but forgot to tell you how to become a perfect God..."
Like a morning breeze blowing through a gauze curtain, "Father's" every word and action is peaceful, every move is gentle, yet he displays the power of a god in silence.
The young god looked at him, his golden eyes as clear as autumn water, and seemed to gradually lose his focus as he looked up at him.
"You are secretly happy, proud, and yet you look down upon me with pity. My most proud masterpiece. Your nature is actually bad enough, but humans don't care, and neither do I..."
"As a perfect God, after learning about the wider world outside this world, His ambition, pride, and unparalleled divinity have already begun to stir..."
"——You will make the choice I expect. You are the most perfect God."
Out of this world...
Outside the world, there really is a vast sky that attracts all the young man's ambitions and arrogance.
What the "father" said was correct. They got to know each other, built trust, and joined forces to touch the "truth" of the world. The boy grew into a unique young man, and the father took on a clear and full shape.
He always said that he came from outside the world, transcended the laws of nature, and yet was subject to the laws of nature. However, when Shen Qianluo looked up at him, he felt that this was not entirely the case.
At least He is not afraid of the so-called Heavenly Law. Even Heavenly Law's most beloved pet, "Shadow", is at His disposal with just a wave of His hand.
So from the moment the shadow aimed at the area around Mount Feather in Teyvat and prepared to descend, the young master noticed his "father's" movements and decided to put on a good show.
"I was looking forward to seeing the high-ranking "father" show a surprised expression."
The young man stood at the top of the world with a faint smile, and the biting wind blew his hair and clothes high. The noble young master still looked up at Him as before, but the cautiousness as if facing a great enemy and the indignant and aggrieved silence were no longer there.
Is this the rebellious phase?
He still wanted to smash his old father's face in one fell swoop, throw it on the ground and rub it repeatedly, and even step on it a few times to vent his rebellious anger.
This was different from the plan, and He should have stepped forward to reprimand them.
To use Shen Qianluo's words to describe it, with dissatisfaction in his chest, seriousness in his eyes, and a distant elegance in his posture, the so-called "father" of the gods floated down from the sky in a watery manner.
The sky grew darker at this moment, and the thick, rolling clouds seemed about to fall grimly onto the dry desert in the next moment. The rising water vapor in the air and the buzzing of thunder and lightning intertwined together, making a noisy and annoying sound.
Just like how slimy and vicious He is when His true nature is revealed.
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked sideways. Nashida and Apep approached him from the left and right, with four humans standing behind them.
A grass god, a grass dragon, and several sons of men, all of whom have been long-time members of the gods' plan. They instigated Nashida to become their enemy and bring her people to the desert, and they intentionally leaked the information that they were in the desert, and colluded with Apep to chase them here day and night.
So, hatred is indeed a more effective idea than trust. It is not tolerated by the world and affects the harmonious world rules. Therefore, "Father" also comes.
"We are facing a powerful enemy, so we should fight together, right?"
The young god's voice was still warm and gentle. Nashida blinked, and Qianye Fumeng was suspended in the air: "Before we fight the enemy together, I still need to confirm your position."
Apep was even more heroic. His huge body stretched out countless limbs, and he was filled with murderous intent: "I have been in seclusion for so long, I have suffered enough torture. Do you think I will let you go for the revenge of exterminating my clan?"
They were silent for a moment as they watched God Qianluo, who had his back to his people without any defense from beginning to end and only looked at Him who had descended from heaven.
The boy was not angry, but just drooped his eyelashes and nodded gently: "Is that so? Then why did "father" come to see me?"
He finally turned his full attention to the vague figure of the man in front of him, and walked towards the core of the storm step by step.
Wherever He was, even the space seemed to be squeezed and broken. His overly powerful aura forced the people surrounding him to stand a hundred meters away, looking up at the god descending from the sky in worship.
Shen Qianluo walked very steadily, and even stood in front of Him nonchalantly, looking up, like a child having a normal conversation with his father.
He looked at him.
