Chapter 179.2: First Meeting with the God Consort, Gift of the Cosmos Possessed by a Commoner (2)
Recently, in less than a year, the God King could sense intuitively that the world was getting more and more chaotic.
Far Silence was approaching, the Nether Realm was getting more active and it was said that various slumbering beings with divinity in various parts of the mortal world were awakening. All of those added heavyweight chess pieces to the chaos of the mortal world.
The best example was Leta. Recently, Leta, which had no Empress for 30 years, had given birth to the strongest Moonlight Queen who possessed the imprint of Tragic Moon and the skeleton of Compassion.
Why would Leta suddenly revive and obtain the strongest Moonlight Queen in history? Could it be because Goddess Compassion who backed the Leta Empire was making preparations in advance for an impending calamity?
The officials discussed these various issues spiritedly. It was said that even the God Consort was worried about it.
However, the God King did not care.
So what if the world was chaotic?
Thanks to the Starburst Spear given to him by the Star Elf, he was not afraid of any enemies. He was also completely confident that he could protect his gold country and the entire Heavenly Kingdom alliance in this chaotic situation.
After chasing away the noisy officials, the bored God King yawned again and prepared to take a nap on the throne...
Right then, more subjects arrived before the God King.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Rayne Haines, the Prince of Haines, has just arrived at Dawn!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this news, the God King was no longer sleepy.
His eyes lit up in surprise.
"The Prince of Haines has visited Dawn? Ha, this is a huge matter!"
When the God King received the news, he burst into laughter and stood up from his throne immediately.
"Quick, help me cancel all the schedules and inform my beloved consort that I\'m going to welcome Prince Rayne personally. I\'m going to take him on a good tour of my Heavenly Kingdom for the entire day!"
However, his subjects who received the order looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated.
That was because the God Consort had already informed them of something long before the prince visited...
The God King asked, "What\'s wrong? Aren\'t you going to lead the way?"
His subjects replied truthfully, "Your Majesty, the God Consort said that she\'s not feeling well today. If you want to welcome a guest, please go yourself, Your Majesty."
When the God King heard that, he was enraged. "What?! That woman was trying to fob me off at such a critical juncture?! Why is she always feeling unwell every day?!"
The moment that was said, his subjects turned pale with fright and stared at the God King in disbelief.
At that moment, the God King realized that he had misspoken as well. He coughed hurriedly and his tone softened.
"Forget it, let the God Consort rest since she is not feeling well and have the Star Attendants take good care of her."
Only then did the shocked gazes of his subjects gradually calm down.
To the High Elves, the Star Elves were their gods. Even the God King chosen by the Star Elves should not speak rudely to his consort.
That was because at the end of the day, the so-called God King was merely a warrior chosen by their goddess…
At times, the God Kings might forget about this.
However, that was not the case for others.
At that moment, someone else came to report. "Your Majesty the God King, Prince Rayne is not feeling well after arriving at Dawn. It seems like he\'s not used to our environment and has been sent for treatment."
"Tsk…"
The God King waved his hand helplessly. "Forget it, forget it. In that case, let Prince Rayne recuperate in peace! By the way, does it seem serious for him?"
The subordinate hesitated for a moment. "A... little."
God King: "I see... alright then. Send someone to take good care of him. We have to let the prince recover by tomorrow night. I\'ve already planned a luxurious banquet for him and the Moonlight Queen. As an esteemed guest of Dawn, he can\'t be absent!"
His subjects acknowledged and retreated.
"Oh, right!"
At that moment, the God King called out to his subjects. "Go and tell the God Consort to rest well today. For the glory of Dawn, she has to attend the banquet tomorrow!"
The God King smiled smugly. "It\'s been a long time since my Dawn has been so lively. The Moonlight Queen of Leta and the Prince of Haines must be dying to witness the beauty of my beloved consort!"
His subjects received the order immediately. However, they felt that something was amiss.
Speaking of which…
"Your Majesty… are you going to have the Prince of Haines and the Empress of Leta attend the banquet at the same time?"
The God King said in a dignified manner, "Is there a problem?"
"No… problem at all."
In the end, the subjects did not dare to spoil the God King\'s mood and left with their mouths shut.
…
"Don\'t worry, Your Highness, this is just a classic case of a lack of acclimatization. It\'s not a big deal."
In the residence prepared for Rayne by Dawn, Rayne was lying weakly on the bed. At the side, a young Star Attendant was healing Rayne with cosmic magic.
The so-called Star Attendants were a group of divine priests who served the cosmos.
At the same time, they were also the most outstanding cosmic mages in the Heavenly Kingdom.
They belonged to the Star Attendant Court, a religious group similar to the Church of Order in Haines and the Mithril Sanctum in Leta.
In this strange and chaotic world, it was inevitable for powerful religious factions with true talent to appear in the governments of every country.
However, unlike the kingdoms on Earth that could only burn incense and pray, the divine priests of Dawn could truly serve their goddess with their own hands.
That was their elf from the cosmos, their God Consort.
"The Heavenly Kingdom is located high in the sky and the air is thin. The elemental magic power is also extremely lacking. It\'s very likely for the people from the ground to feel uncomfortable the first time they visit."
The Star Attendant smiled bitterly. "Although your condition won\'t worsen, it\'ll be difficult for you to acclimatize in a short period of time as well. Therefore..."
Rayne revealed a regretful expression. "Therefore, I\'m afraid I\'ll have to stay in bed to recuperate for most of my visit to Dawn, right?"
The Star Attendant nodded. "That\'s the case, Your Highness Rayne…"
Regarding that, Rayne only sighed regretfully.
However, Edaline was looking at the scenery leisurely at the side, not worried about her brother\'s condition at all.
After knowing Rayne\'s actions in Leta, Edaline was already well aware of her brother\'s strategy.
He had to claim that he was unwell and live in seclusion with his illness, away from the watchful eyes of others.
That was the only way he could devise strategies from behind the scenes.
During the process of treating Rayne\'s illness, the Star Attendant girl explained the local customs of the Heavenly Kingdom to Rayne.
The Heavenly Kingdom was an isolated island civilization built on the clouds and far away from the mortal civilization.
For people from the ground who had just arrived, there were many things worth taking note of.
For example, they should not use magic in the Heavenly Kingdom. The thin magic power here could not maintain the operation of magic. Some amateur mages might subconsciously consume the vitality in their bodies to circulate magic instead until their bodies died of exhaustion.
Of course, that rule was useless against demigods.
There were too many means for demigods to fight in an area with thin magic power, let alone use it. Even without using magic, they could burst forth with invincible combat strength just by relying on the eternal blessings and divinity authority on them.
Apart from that, they should not approach the borders of the Heavenly Kingdom, should not participate in suspicious gatherings and should not look up at the cosmos at night. All areas underground were prohibited from passage.
If the people around them started displaying abnormal ruptures, excess body organs or started whispering strange and illogical words... they had to report it to the Star Attendant Court immediately.
Furthermore, they had to maintain the strongest vigilance towards the words \'Far Silence\'.
As though she was afraid of scaring the prince, after giving those stern warnings, the Star Attendant girl chuckled and chatted with Rayne about the scenic spots of Dawn.
As they conversed, the topic came to the most beautiful sight in the entire Heavenly Kingdom Dawn.
Their God Consort.
