240 The Origin Of The Little Butterfly: Sun Star Spirit
The Flower Fairy had a different understanding of the little butterfly in front of her. This was unexpected.
“You know about the butterfly’s background?” asked Xu Yuan. He was only aware that the butterfly was once the formidable mythical beast. Beyond that, his knowledge of the butterfly’s history was limited.
Xu Yuan only knew that the little black butterfly was the Earth Core Butterfly that had once flown out of the sun’s core.
However, the Flower Fairy seemed to know more.
The Flower Fairy was stunned at Xu Yuan’s question. She hesitated. “Your Majesty…”
She didn’t seem willing to answer his question. But she wouldn’t dare offend Xu Yuan.
“One of the four pillars of the Light-Types was the Sun Star Spirit. It is most likely that the butterfly might be that entity.”
The Flower Fairy’s words caused a ripple in Xu Yuan’s heart. He recalled that the mythical beast had been injured by the holy light. It had almost killed the thing. If the butterfly was actually the Sun Star Spirit, why would the Light-Types try to destroy him?
If Xu Yuan hadn’t saved the butterfly, he would long be dead.
‘Was there some kind of civil unrest among the Light-Types?’ wondered Xu Yuan.
If there had been internal strife among the Light-Types, it would explain why the Earth Core Butterfly was cast away.
Xu Yuan could use the butterfly to cause massive trouble to the Light-Types.
The butterfly flew and perched on Xu Yuan’s dragon horns. He looked at the Flower Fairy. He had no recollection of his past.
‘Strange…’ thought the Flower Fairy.
Seeing the butterfly and Xu Yuan getting along was unsettling. One was the Sun Star Spirit, who was in line to succeed to the throne to lead the Light-Types. The other was the Dark Demon Dragon.
Countless years ago, the Dark Demon Dragon had appeared briefly, leaving an indelible impression on the world. After that, he disappeared without a trace.
The Dark Demon Dragon had reappeared. The Flower Fairy knew he was the unanimously appointed leader of the Dark-Types. However, he was getting along with someone who was supposed to lead the Light-Types. This was much too strange for the Flower Fairy to digest.
Xu Yuan noticed her confusion. “Why is it so difficult to accept for you?”
The Flower Fairy hesitated. “Your Majesty… it’s just… The leader of the Light-Types was supposed to be selected from the four pillars.” She looked at the butterfly with fear. “The King of Heaven used to be one of the four pillars in the past.”
The Flower Fairy was anxious. She shouldn’t have revealed that secret.
Xu Yuan finally understood the importance of the butterfly. The King of Heaven was the leader of Light-Types. Most thought he was just an illusionary figure created by the Light Princess. His existence itself was uncertain.
Even the others among the Light-Types were unable to verify whether the King of Heaven actually existed.
According to the Flower Fairy, he was real enough to have been one of the four pillars of the Light-Types.
‘So, there might have been an internal strife among the Light-Types!’ thought Xu Yuan.
He recalled the time when the little black butterfly had appeared out of the cocoon. The holy light that had encased the cocoon had been terrifying. Xu Yuan was sure that the holy light had been cast directly by the King of Heaven.
From what the Flower Fairy revealed, everything sounded intriguing. The little butterfly and the King of Heaven must have been friends in the past.
However, the Earth Core Butterfly had been fatally injured and rendered unconscious. The Light-Types had even gone to the extent of casting the holy light, so the butterfly would have no escape. Perhaps the King of Heaven himself had done all of that to suppress the Sun Star Spirit.
“The four pillars must have fought among themselves for the throne,” muttered Xu Yuan. “The King of Heaven won and he became the leader. The other three were either seriously injured or killed…”
When the Flower Fairy heard Xu Yuan’s speculations, she was so terrified that her wings trembled uneasily. She knew the legend of the four pillars. However, she didn’t know how the butterfly came to be with Xu Yuan at this time. The shock she felt at this was unimaginable.
“Your Majesty, do you really think something like that happened?” asked the Flower Fairy. She looked at the little black butterfly.
The Flower Fairy really wanted to know what had happened to the butterfly and the other pillars.
The butterfly shook his head. “I am sorry,” he said. “I can’t remember anything…”
The butterfly fluttered around Xu Yuan. “Maybe I am the Sun Star Spirit you mention, or maybe I am someone else. I don’t care. I don’t remember. I just want to stay by Yuan’s side and see the world.”
Su Wan occasionally called him “Scammer Xu”, and the others referred to him as “Your Majesty”. But this was the first time Xu Yuan had heard someone call him just “Yuan”.
