Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 759 - 427: The Goddess Conceives—A Divine Cuckold?
"Oh, isn’t this His Majesty Augustus III, who successfully conquered the Goddess?"
Seeing the approaching grand-nephew, Noah couldn’t help but tease. He was well aware of the series of reactions this fellow had when he saw an outstanding descendant appear in the family.
What Noah didn’t expect was that this guy actually set his sights on the Divine. He wanted to hook up with a Goddess, and most surprisingly to Noah, he actually succeeded in doing so.
"How do you still have time to come to me?"
"Granduncle, you already knew?"
With a face still youthful, full of boundless vitality and vigor, resembling a young man yet with a hint of the vicissitudes of years, the Monarch had a tinge of awkwardness on his face.
However, beneath this heroic young face was an undeniable pride. That look of smugness while trying to maintain composure made Noah want him to experience the taste of an Ancestral Golden Dragon Tail Strike.
"It’s hard for me not to know."
Most mortals are completely unaware of the descent of the Divine. They find it difficult to perceive, and likewise, they cannot sense it. But for an existence like Noah, the descent of a Divine is all too conspicuous.
It’s like a lake originally only breeding sturgeons suddenly has a whale breaking in. It’s hard for Noah, who had already dominated the lake, to ignore it.
Even though the God of Music and Art is like a mere vase within the Elf God System, having little status or influence.
No matter how much the other is belittled, one cannot overlook the fundamental nature of the other as a True God; they have already transcended above the myriad creatures of the Material Plane, being an Eternal and Immortal existence.
For a Divine to enter the Material Plane in Saint Form, it is to lower oneself and yet it also bears significant risk. Noah found it hard to understand the meaning behind such an action.
Even if agreeing to Alexander’s conditions, in exchange, the Goddess was willing to birth a child for Alexander, she need not descend to do so. The Divine could procreate without involving mundane creatures.
As a higher-ranking existence, a Divine only needs to bestow a portion of their strength or a will, which could make a mortal conceive. Of course, offspring born in this manner are the lowest tier.
Only those who inherit the Transcendent characteristics, partial Divinity and Divine Status of the Divine could be considered Divine offspring or a Demigod.
"Please forgive me, Granduncle!"
Although delighted by the descent of the Goddess, Alexander soon realized its inappropriateness upon reflection and prepared to personally visit Elisium to explain to his granduncle.
Even beasts in a forest delineate territories among themselves, so when another beast enters a territory not their own, it signifies the onset of a fight and battle.
The same principle applies even to the level of the Divine. For instance, the competition and battle for Divine Position Domains among the Divine can be more brutal and bloody than any war conflicts in the Material Realm.
For Noah, a Divine appearing within his sphere of influence without notifying him in advance could be seen as provocation, or the beginning of a war.
Elisium is several thousand miles away from the capital Uther of the Atlas Kingdom, a distance many mortals couldn’t traverse in a lifetime, but for Noah and a Divine in Saint Form, it’s only a matter of an instant, given the accurate coordinates.
In other words, a Divine in Saint Form, who could pose a threat to Noah, appearing right under Noah’s nose without advance notice of the purpose or intention.
"Forgive what? I should be congratulating you, for as a mortal to receive the favor of the Goddess, your name is destined to be recorded in history, shining across worlds."
Noah showed no anger as he teased again. The mere identities of the two could ignite endless reverie, imagining countless epic love stories.
Surely, before long, when the feats of Alexander and the Elf Goddess spread, countless minstrels and folk artists would take their story as the prototype, filling numerous love stories.
Just for this matter, Alexander’s name is enough to be carved into history. Whether in the Kingdom or the family, as King and Family Head, he will be the most dazzling existence, worshipped by countless descendants.
"I did not know in advance that Lidisha would descend in Saint Form, she did not consult me."
Even though the granduncle showed no sign of anger, Alexander would not so easily overlook it, as he himself is a Monarch.
He well understands that when those in higher positions show an affable attitude to subordinates, it doesn’t represent approval; it’s more about maintaining necessary decorum, avoiding awkwardness, and not losing personal dignity.
"Wasn’t it your request?"
Noah asked with slight curiosity.
"No, I never made such a request!"
"Really? Why wouldn’t you? Having the Divine descend in their True Body to birth an offspring for you, isn’t that good?"
"In the eyes of the Divine, I am merely a mortal; to make such a request would be somewhat excessive."
Alexander understood this well. His original intention in approaching the Elf Goddess was not to initiate anything but to utilize Divine Power to birth an offspring whose potential, both upper and lower limits, far exceeded the norm, able to rival that descendant born with dual anomalies.
