308 Memories of God (1)
After the memory played itself out, Ferula fell into the darkness again. However, she didn’t feel helpless this time. Power surged in her body and healed her rapidly.
This power didn’t put a burden on her. She sighed in relief. With the help of the power, she regained control of her body.
She sensed the energy circulating in her body. It was tender, like a newly sprouted seedling in spring. It wasn’t a power she was familiar with, but it lifted her up and out of the darkness.
Xu Yuan’s power allowed the centaur to be reborn again, out of her dark past. Ferula didn’t resist this power. She happily accepted it.
As time passed, she felt stronger. It was as if she had so much power pumping through her veins that she could barely breathe.
Ferula didn’t know how much time had passed. She used all her strength and opened her eyes. A blue sky came into view.
Her blurry vision gradually cleared. She felt stronger and calmer than before. She turned to look at her side, where Xu Yuan crouched.
Ferula’s eyes welled. The memory of the past was too much to bear. When she was only five, she was sent to the lake by her father. She had no one to talk to!
Although she had received the blessing of the gods and obtained eternal life, her life had become her prison. It was an imprisonment without an end. At least for others, death sets them free in the end. She didn’t even have that luxury.
Ferula sat up. She now recognized the power that had lifted her up from the darkness. “Father…” Ferula gave him a teary smile.
She walked in front of Xu Yuan and knelt before him.
She promised to be his sharp blade and wipe out anything that stood in his way.
Su Wan felt a little disappointed. She had wished for a daughter like Ferula, and now the girl had only chosen her father.
Xu Yuan had used his dark energy to break Ferula’s seal on her soul. Her power and her potential were now unleashed.
A notification appeared in Su Wan’s mind.
[Congratulations, Lord Su Wan, on obtaining an SSS-class hero!]
Su Wan was ecstatic. This was a win! However, another notification popped up.
[Breaking the seal of the gods will invite hostility from the Light-Types.]
[Your territory has been marked. The believers and worshipers of the God of Light will regard you as an enemy, and your territory will be attacked.]
Su Wan didn’t really care. The Light-Types were already at odds with them, anyway. What difference did it make to be “marked” now?
She was angry, too. The Light-Types had made Ferula work all these years without any benefits.
Besides, the Light-Types couldn’t descend to the Overlord Plane for now. The Light-Types were only capable of launching sneak attacks.
Moreover, she had Xu Yuan by her side. Even the six-winged Seraphim had turned tails and fled from him.
“Rise,” said Xu Yuan to Ferula, who was still kneeling. “The territory and the Lord need your protection. Will you help them?”
“I will do my best!” said Ferula with conviction.
From the moment her seal was broken, Ferula had decided to dedicate her life to the Dark Demon Dragon. She would obey him unconditionally.
“I will protect Mother with my life,” said Ferula as she glanced at Su Wan.
That made Su Wan feel happy. Ferula hadn’t completely abandoned her.
“I saw my memories,” said Ferula sadly.
Su Wan’s heart went out to her. Ferula had been given too heavy a burden at such a young age.
“I was placed there to guard the area because of the fallen god,” said Ferula.
“Fallen god?” asked Su Wan curiously.
Ferula nodded. “I found out that the fallen god wasn’t dead yet.”
Su Wan was excited. She hadn’t expected this!
“What happened after that?” she asked.
“I led the mermen into the Divine Kingdom and killed the god. However, I was severely injured. I managed to suppress the kingdom, but it was too much for me. I know where the Divine Kingdom is! I am confident I can unlock it again.”
Su Wan glanced at Xu Yuan. She wondered if the god had left anything behind in the kingdom. Ferula knew the location. This should have made her excited, but why did it make her feel so uneasy?
“Ferula, what did you find in the Divine Kingdom?” asked Su Wan.
“I found the god who was dying. His broken body.”
“Divine body of a god…” Su Wan couldn’t believe such a thing even existed!
