Chapter 811: 530. Ancient Days Past Events_2
In the end, the Moon Goddess sighed, accepting reality.
This was the karma for choosing to abandon her child with Adam right after giving birth. It was a sin of her own making.
Though she felt guilty and lost, she did not regret it. In fact, it was precisely because of her daughter's existence that she cherished her mission to save the world even more.
As the last surviving deity in this world, resisting the invasion of the angels from another world was her unrefusable mission, and her daughter's birth gave this mission an additional sense of meaning.
She was not only executing this mission for her survival but also to secure a space for her daughter to grow.
To execute the mission, her most urgent task was to immediately send away her daughter and her friends to prevent the identity she had cultivated over five hundred years from being exposed.
But, looking at her daughter opposite her, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to be ruthless again.
Five hundred years ago, when she first gave birth to her daughter, she was still the high and mighty Moon Goddess. But over the course of spying in the Glorious Divine Kingdom for five hundred years and interacting with humans extensively, coupled with the world's continuous weakening, her divinity was no longer pure, and she had long lost the decisiveness and efficiency she had five hundred years ago.
For humans, this is growth, but for gods, this is wear and tear.
If just accompanying her daughter for a while wouldn't have much impact, she might as well tell her a story since she wanted to hear one.
"Dorothy."
Eve called out the name she hadn't heard in a long time.
The gift from God, this was the name Adam had chosen before their daughter was born, but at that time, her younger self didn't like the name and even detested it.
But now...
It was indeed a good name, the best of gifts.
This was how the Moon Goddess felt now.
"Everything actually started with an adventure. At that time, I operated in the world as the Moon Witch, madly craving strength. I wanted to become so strong that I could expel every one of those invaders from the Otherworld."
"But this world was too weak; looking for ways to become stronger within the world was futile, as there was nothing here stronger than a deity like me. Fortunately, those angels were not the first external visitors to descend into this world. Before them, a meteor from outside the world had once crashed here."
"The gods had tried to investigate that meteor, but back then, we couldn't even approach it. The power radiating around the meteor was enough to terrify us, the weak gods."
"Eventually, the gods decided to join forces to seal the meteor, but now, in search of strength, I decided to investigate that meteor again. It was the only method I could think of to obtain power."
"Use the power of outsiders to defeat outsiders."
....
Eve began speaking, recalling the past and narrating it.
Dorothy initially just wanted to hear a corny family melodrama, but the homebody witch did not expect this time it turned out to be a fantasy adventure epic.
Under the invasion from external forces, the last surviving deity, the Moon Goddess, disguised as the Moon Witch, roamed the earth. She embarked on an adventure in pursuit of the power sealed by the gods.
At that time, the naive Moon God did not realize she wasn't the only one targeting that sealed extraterrestrial power.
In fact, before the angels descended, the Demon God from the abyss had already detected a great secret hidden within this seemingly ordinary small world.
Thus, the Demon God's incarnation descended and searched this small world for years. However, even with the power of a Demon God, it ultimately yielded nothing. But the Demon God had patience, understanding that he wasn't destined for that power, and waited patiently for the destined one to appear.
As a demon, the Demon God excelled at snatching sweet victory directly from the hands of the victor.
But the Demon God's movements did not escape the notice of his old adversary, the Lord of Angels from Heaven.
So, the Lord of Angels descended with divine power, unaware of the Demon God's conspiracy, decided to harvest this small world from its roots to thwart his old adversary's plot.
The Lord of Angels' power transformed into miracles within this weak world. The ignorant mortals chased these miracles, worshipping this extraterrestrial entity with the aim of harvesting the world as a deity, establishing a church and blindly believing in the Lord of Angels.
Until years later, a talented young priest became the Church's Bishop at a young age.
He was just like the heroes depicted in ancient legends: handsome, kind, courageous, strong. His shining soul once startled the high deities from beyond the world, causing the cold-hearted Lord of Angels to consider recruiting him as a new comrade.
To give this talented young man a final test, the Lord of Angels descended with an oracle, giving the young man a task to probe the Demon and uncover his conspiracy in the city built by the Demon God.
Meanwhile, the Moon Goddess disguised as a witch also arrived in the City of Sin because the sealed power was beneath the city.
But the Demon God who had been waiting for years smiled, sensing the disturbance in fate, knowing the destined one he had been waiting for finally arrived. The Demon God's incarnation found the young man and the witch, leading them to meet.
Under the Demon God's deceit and arrangements, their adventure team of three was formed, each harboring their own intentions, embarking together on the journey to find the "treasure" sealed by the gods.
Ultimately, after numerous hardships, the three successfully arrived before the "treasure". Their adventure had made them familiar and close.
The priest admired the witch's beauty, the Demon God marveled at the priest's soul, and the witch who sought strength vaguely sensed the Demon God's mystery and power.
When the three finally stood before the powerful sealed meteor, with an only treasure before them, they revealed their true intentions.
The priest disclosed his task, the witch revealed her identity and thirst for strength, while the Demon God prepared to snatch the final victory.
Former teammates now became ultimate obstacles.
Originally, the priest and witch as mortals shouldn't have been opponents to the Demon God, but as a reward to his former teammates, feeling assured of his victory, the Demon God decided to grant these two mortals who had earned his recognition, each a wish.
So, the witch wished for strength.
As for the priest....
Well, the witch didn't know what the priest wished for. She only knew she fell into a deep sleep immediately after making her wish.
When she woke up, she found herself pregnant.
Oddly, after checking her body, she found she was still a virgin. The arrival of this child was bizarre.
As she was puzzled, the Demon God appeared again and told her their wishes had been fulfilled. The child's father was the priest, and the child was the strength the Demon God promised the witch.
Thus, the exposed witch and priest became mortal enemies, and after giving birth, the witch embarked again on the path to pursue her mission alone.
Though the Demon God had promised her that her daughter would possess the strength she craved, it was still a child she had carried for five years. As a mother, she might be inadequate, but she hadn't yet degraded to the point of using her own child as strength.
"Well, that's about all I know. So, that shameless scoundrel Adam didn't tell you anything?"
Though she didn't resent her daughter, Eve would never forgive the shameless scoundrel Adam.
In response, Dorothy: "...."
The homebody witch fell silent, stunned by the story.
Damn it, so I'm actually a child granted by the Demon God.
...Dorothy bewildered...
