Sang Luo slapped his hand away and frowned, "I can raise the child myself, but there's no need to mend our relationship."
"No need… Why is there no need…" His whole body trembled uncontrollably, a hint of madness lurking in his eyes.
"It's not a matter of forgiving or not forgiving you, nor of hating or not hating you, but…" Sang Luo paused, looking directly into Duo Tu's sorrowful eyes, and slowly uttered, "I have no feelings for you anymore."
Duo Tu couldn't say a word. His body was as stiff as a stone as he stared blankly at her, seemingly unable to understand the meaning of her words.
Sang Luo sighed, "So many years have passed, I no longer hate you. In my heart, you are just a special old friend, Hephaestus's biological father. I agreed to raise the child with you, willing to give the child a complete family, not wanting it to repeat your mistakes… but I have no love or hate for you anymore, no more affection at all. There is no need for us to reconcile."
Duo Tu had always thought that she had been avoiding him for so many years because she still hated him in her heart, but he never expected that the ruthlessness in her words was what pierced his heart the most.
Far more than hating him.
Making him completely heartbroken.
Duo Tu left with the child.
Never appearing before her eyes again.
Sang Luo thought the matter would be over.
A month later, Hephaestus came to the temple alone, without anyone accompanying him.
A cub of the King Beast was coveted by countless people, yet Duo Tu dared to let the child come alone. He was too irresponsible towards the child! Could it be that she had misjudged him?
"Where's your father? Why didn't he come with you?" Sang Luo's voice was filled with anger.
Hephaestus burst into tears with a "Waa."
"Mother, Wuwu, Father is injured and bleeding a lot, he's about to die. Mother, please go and see Father."
Sang Luo's heart trembled. She quickly hugged the sobbing little lion and wiped its tear-stained face with a towel, "What exactly happened? How did your father get injured?"
"He went out to find natural treasures for me. When he came back last night, he had a lot of blood on his body, and now he's still unconscious. The witch doctor said… Mother, please save him."
Duo Tu was, after all, at the peak of the King Beast realm, considered a powerful figure in the West Continent. Who could easily seriously injure him?
Sang Luo hesitated whether to extract Hephaestus's memory to accurately know what happened last night, but she was afraid that the child was too young and forcibly extracting his mental power would cause some damage to his consciousness.
"He encountered a Calamity Beast."
Minos walked over with an ancient book.
The book was very thick, with a dark brown carved wooden cover, engraved with obscure patterns, and exuded a faint holy light, floating above his palms. The pages turned without wind.
"What is a Calamity Beast?" Sang Luo asked in surprise.
Minos said, "Recently, the power of the Calamity Rules on the Beast World Continent has increased, and many sources of calamity have appeared. Most of these sources of calamity are parasitic on Star Beasts, collectively called Calamity Beasts. Powerful Calamity Beasts can trigger changes in the world, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, hurricanes… causing considerable disasters."
"Is the Holy Temple not concerned about such an important matter?"
Minos looked at the ancient book in his hand, turned to a page, and took a slender golden quill in his right hand, not dipping it in ink, but carefully writing with spiritual power, "Luo Luo, the Holy Temple is only a recorder of time, a prophet giving people warnings. The Holy Temple will not take action unless absolutely necessary."
His voice was low and calm, "Every time a cycle of years passes, the power of heaven and earth will show different turbulent anomalies. The greater the impact of the fluctuations, the higher the probability of Calamity Beasts appearing. When the power of heaven and earth stabilizes again, the Calamity Beasts will retreat, restoring a long period of tens of thousands of years of peace and vitality… The last outbreak of Calamity Beasts was 30,000 years ago. The Book of Time has recorded 1,027 outbreaks of Calamity Beasts."
After Minos finished recording, he closed the Book of Time, and it disappeared in his palm.
Sang Luo's face became a little unsightly.
Not to mention these Calamity Beasts that she had never seen before, just the major disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis would kill many people every time they broke out. However, seeing Minos's calm expression, she knew that this kind of thing was nothing more than that in his heart. Restoring the order of heaven and earth, the consumption of human lives is a very common thing, unless a huge crisis of the extinction of the beastmen occurs, it will not attract the attention of the Holy Temple.
"Forget it, I'll go take a look." Sang Luo touched the little lion's head, "I have healing skills, which are more useful than those witch doctors."
"Mm." Minos said nothing.
Sang Luo asked him to take care of the little lion and went to the West Continent alone.
The Beast Kingdom of the Allans Empire.
Sang Luo saw Duo Tu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
The witch doctors in the palace had already cleaned his wounds, but it was not difficult to see that he was badly injured, half his life was gone.
Is the power of the Calamity Beast so strong?
I wonder what the situation is in the other continents and seas?
I guess they have also been affected, but with Fei Yuan and the others in charge, nothing should happen.
After Sang Luo healed Duo Tu, he was still sleeping and had not woken up.
Sang Luo pulled a chair and sat by the bed, recalling the fragmented and somewhat crazy memories she saw in Anano's memory, and glanced again at Duo Tu, who was unconscious on the bed, curious about the parts where the memory was cut off.
A wisp of light purple mental power protruded from her brow and entered his sea of consciousness.
The Holy Temple allows Duo Tu to return, not necessarily just for the sake of offspring.
Ergalia Alan is dead, but Anano's mental illness has not improved, indicating that Anano's mental illness is not him.
It is very likely to be her only child, Duo Tu.
…
Still arguing.
Endless quarrels, the sound of things being smashed, shocking.
Sang Luo saw the little lion again.
It hid outside the door, afraid to go in.
After the arguing in the hall ended, the man walked out angrily.
The little lion waited for him to leave, then ran into the hall with a few bouquets of flowers picked from outside.
It looked at Anano, who was sobbing with her face covered, carefully arranged the flowers and placed them beside her legs. It also lay on the ground, gently rubbing her ankle with its head, "Empress Mother, don't cry anymore, these are your favorite flowers."
In the past, every time Father King and Empress Mother finished arguing, or when Empress Mother was unhappy, it would go to the garden to pick a few of Empress Mother's favorite flowers. Empress Mother would be very happy every time she saw them, and would also pick it up and rub its head.
But this time, it seems different from before…
Anano was stunned for two seconds when she saw it, dazed and lost in thought, the tears on her face dried up, leaving winding tear marks.
Suddenly, she seemed to see something ugly and terrifying again, kicked it away, and shouted loudly, "Get out! Get out, get out with your father!"
The little lion was kicked hard in the stomach and fell against the wall, crying out in pain.
