I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 340
Chapter 340 – Birth
“Lord God, I have a sudden thought, why don’t we have a child god too.”
Just before Louie left, he heard the Goddess of Night’s seductive voice. A faint temptation clawed at his heart, making it hard for any male to refuse.
Louie looked back at Shae, looking directly at the Goddess’s star-like eyes. It was tranquil like the starry night but as terrifying as the emptiness of the void.
Her thin black skirt was slightly raised, exposing her delicate legs. Her skirt simply could not hide her delicate skin, making people imagine how soft and tender it was.
After looking at each other for a long time, Louie chuckled, “It’s difficult for two gods to produce another god. This is a gamble and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that is difficult to encounter.”
“…Moreover, Your Highness Shae, do you dare expose your true body to me? If you want to give birth to an heir for me, your incarnation won’t do.”
After those words, Louie did not look back. He reached out and opened a portal with divine power. The protective spell of the Silver Moon Kingdom had long recorded Louie’s aura. Other than some places in the Silver Moon Kingdom, Louie could teleport anywhere he wanted.
Naturally, ordinary spells wouldn’t be able to stop the gods, only the gods could.
Seeing Louie disappear afar, the Goddess of Night thought deeply. She sat on the stone bench in the garden with one hand resting on her cheek and her bare legs swinging back and forth.
No one knew what she was thinking at the moment.
After a long time of quietness, the Goddess of Night came back to her senses and felt that something was funny.
Louie’s last words contained a deep meaning. In fact, it was to tell Shae that they simply did not have absolute trust in each other. If the two wanted a closer relationship and a firmer alliance, then they had to learn to trust each other.
“Asking the Goddess of Darkness to learn to trust, what a bold new god.”
Shae whispered.
……
A portal appeared in the capital of the Silver Moon Kingdom, not far from the palace. Louie’s figures well as that of a unicorn emerged from it.
After seeing the change of the moon, the Queen of Unicorns, Lara, also asked to follow Louie back to the Silver Moon Kingdom.
Louie readily agreed to her request and brought her back with him.
Once they arrived at the Silver Moon Kingdom, Louie found that something was a bit wrong. He flew up the Ancient Tree of Life and stood at one of its branches. When he looked down, he could see the ancient trees that were being lived in by the elves.
At this moment, many elves had left their homes and surged into the streets. Under the flowers that fell, they pointed at the moon with faces of panic as they did not know why such a change was happening to the silver moon.
It was important to know that the majority of elves were believers of the Silver Moon Goddess. Regardless of how much they believed in the silver moon, any changes to the moon had a huge impact on the elves.
The priests of the Church of the Goddess of Silver Moon also took to the streets and persuaded the people to return to their houses. The army was also mobilized in case chaos erupted with so many people gathered together.
The priests of the church were laxer. With the coming of the change of the world, the gods could already communicate with their followers. The upper echelons of the church had already received a message from their goddess and knew that the goddess was not seriously hurt, so they were relieved.
Some knowledgeable people in the church had deduced that this was the Silver Moon Goddess giving birth. Although they did not know who her mate was, they knew not to speculate carelessly. Everyone just quietly waited for the arrival of the divine child.
Louie was flabbergasted at the chaos that was happening. He also remembered that no one among the elves knew that the Elven Queen was also the Silver Moon Goddess, Selune. She had been hiding her identity to reduce the possibility of danger. However, with the coming of the gods imminent and her child about to be born, she probably did not want to hide anymore.
It was also fortunate that the Goddess was in the guise of a queen. She had almost no contact with anyone, even with close friends. So the mystery of the gods persisted in her. Even if the elves knew that the queen they had served for thousands of years was their goddess, there wouldn’t be any huge disturbance.
The light of the silver moon immediately spilled over the entire kingdom. Louie felt slightly uncomfortable walking under the moonlight as this was not his domain.
“It’s here, Lara.”
Louie took the Unicorn Queen to the palace of the silver moon, where there were no longer any guards. Instead, the palace was surrounded by layers of divine power. The Goddess had long protected herself and did not think too lightly of her own delivery.
Even if Louie wanted to break through, he would have to face numerous difficulties, but after sensing Louie and Lara’s presence, the divine power dispersed and opened a path for the two to enter the hall.
Both Louie and Lara were familiar with the palace and walked directly up the wooden stairs to reach the innermost level. When they entered, they saw the space covered with the light of the moon. Green branches bloomed with flowers that turned silvery white under the moonlight.
A blue moon pool was showered with endless moonlight as divine power drummed. The mist covered the delicate body inside the pool of water. The Silver Moon Goddess, Selune, was unclothed sitting in the middle of the pool and letting out painful whispers.
The blue water of the pool gradually turned into the color of the moon, and the shoulders of the Silver Moon Goddess submerged into it. Selune’s forehead was covered with fine sweat stains. She closed her eyes tightly and her brows wrinkled together. Although gods were more tolerant than mortals, the birth of a child was still a hard thing for the goddesses.
Moreover, this was the first time the Goddess of the Silver Moon had become a mother.
Sensing Louie and Lara’s presence, Selune opened her silver eyes, which now looked like the full moon, making it impossible to see the feelings and emotions inside her.
She looked at Louie and smiled. After seeing Louie’s response, she closed her eyes once more and shifted her mind and will to the child in her belly.
“Budump… budump…”
The Goddess’ heartbeat sounded and in this clear heartbeat was a tiny pulse mixed in.
Gradually, the heartbeat and the faint pulse got closer in rhythm until they almost became one. The sound was also more and more urgent as if a soft drum was beating. And then a child’s cry suddenly sounded in this moonlight.
This would have been a very strange scene, but Louie rejoiced. His inverted pupils could clearly see the soul forming.
The soul of a child of a god had nothing to do with the source of souls, the River Styx. It was born from nothingness and only divinity. It could be said that it was the purest of souls and not a reincarnation. The perfect body of a god would reject the defilement of any other soul.
The child of a god was born from pure divinity without any impurities. The knowledge that they were born with was given by their parents.
Just then, the Goddess of the Silver Moon opened her eyes and weakly said, “Your Highness Louie, it’s time.”
At that moment, Louie silently nodded and separated a part of his divinity. He infused it with the knowledge of the dragons, the breath of his own divine authority, and watched it grow before throwing it into the moon pool.
Truly divine conception was a complicated affair, as both parties in it needed to infuse their vitality at the fertilization and birthing stages. If any of the procedures went wrong, then the child of the god would not be successfully born. It would definitely become an abomination.
In other words, it was possible to tell of any cuckoldry among the gods.
When Louie’s divinity was injected into the pool of water, the moonlight in the sky shook. The endless silver moonlight began to converge and the bright light descended like a pillar of light that connected heaven and earth.
All the elves in the capital stopped praying and looked in amazement. They watched as the moonlight converged in the sky and into the queen’s palace.
‘Wasn’t the Silver Moon Goddess giving birth? Why is the moonlight converging to the queen’s palace?’
Many of the elves were puzzled and even dismayed. Only some of the church’s upper echelons finally understood. In fact, these people had long felt that something was up with the elven queen. In the past, there were suspicions that the elven queen was the incarnation of the Silver Moon Goddess, but from what they saw now, they felt that they had been too timid as the elven queen was the Silver Moon Goddess herself!
The Silver Moon Goddess Selune coalesced the power of the divine authority of the moon and the nature of the elves onto the newly born baby, while Louie followed it up with his divinity, a dragon’s nature, and the power of the divine authority of life.
Louie had chosen this after careful consideration. He now only had the complete divine authorities of time and dream. The divine authorities of earth and magic were only fragments. The closest divine authority to the elves would be the divine authority of life!
The divine authority of life originally belonged to the creator of the elves, who had turned into the Ancient Tree of Life.
When life, moon, dragon, and elf were completely fused into one, the ‘Queen of Life and Elves’ was born!
The scene instantly became muted, and what appeared in the moon pool was a dragon egg.
The Goddess of Silver Moon and the Goddess of Night did not have a race. They were neither human nor elves. According to theory, their race would be ‘gods’.
The Silver Moon Goddess, whose race was very versatile, eventually obeyed Louie and gave birth to an heir in the form of a dragon.
Under the loving and joyful gaze of Louie and the Silver Moon Goddess, the dragon egg cracked.
