Without me, there would be no you!
Every time Penglai Of Gojoseon and The Emperor Zao In Red got into a conflict, The Emperor Zao In Red would say this, and Penglai Of Gojoseon would always compromise.
The Seventh Caller didn't even dare to say a word.
Only the most important people in the Zao State knew about the background of Penglai Of Gojoseon and Ji Rumo.
The Emperor Zao of the Zao State couldn't marry. The Emperor Zao In Red was no exception.
Ji Rumo was adopted by The Emperor Zao In Red.
Twenty years ago, the Emperor Zao In Red, who had just become The Emperor Zao In Red, came back from a trip. It was early in the morning that The Emperor Zao In Red heard the sound of a child crying as he passed by the Penglai Sea.
At that time, the Emperor Zao had just turned 30 years old. His temperament wasn't as unpredictable as it was in recent years.
Out of curiosity, he stopped and saw a naked baby boy on the beach.
Unlike other babies that had been abandoned, the baby boy didn't have any swaddling clothes or anything that could prove his identity.
Looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he had just been born. For some reason, his parents had abandoned him on the beach.
However, his body was very clean. Even his umbilical cord was very clean.
The lower half of the baby boy's body was submerged in the sea. Because he had choked on some seawater, he was on the verge of death. His face was purple.
After the baby boy was picked up, he used his small fists to grab onto The Emperor Zao In Red's sleeves. He wouldn't let go no matter what.
The Emperor Zao In Red, who had always been cold, suddenly had the idea to bring the baby boy back to the Zao State.
After The Emperor Zao In Red rescued the baby, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, the Zao State recruited a large number of orphans and abandoned babies every year. He just casually handed the baby boy over to the Zao State's caretaker.
Soon, the Emperor Zao forgot about the baby. It wasn't until five years later that The Emperor Zao In Red met him again.
The Zao State was famous for its summoners. In order to attract new blood, every five years, The Emperor Zao In Red would test and select a batch of outstanding summoners from the orphans and abandoned babies.
According to the Zao State's rules, The Emperor Zao In Red would personally reward the talented summoners who were promoted and specially trained. He would also select a few of them and accept them as his direct disciples.
Among the selected Zao State's new talents, The Emperor Zao In Red immediately saw a five or six-year-old boy.
The reason why the boy attracted The Emperor Zao In Red's attention was because he was young. The second reason was that the boy was very beautiful. The third reason was that the boy was alone.
The Emperor Zao In Red was an elegant and handsome man. However, the boy who was selected stunned him.
His skin was white and tender like tofu, as if it had never been exposed to sunlight. He had long and dense eyelashes and a pair of amber eyes. Even when facing the most powerful person in the Zao State, The Emperor Zao In Red, the boy's expression was calm and he didn't show any fear.
However, other than his age and appearance, what made The Emperor Zao In Red surprised was that the boy didn't have any summoned beasts beside him.
The other new talents beside the boy all had summoned beasts lying beside them. They were all summoners.
Since he wasn't a summoner, why was he able to stand among these new talents?
Moreover, from the looks of the other new talents who were older than the boy, they seemed to be in awe of him.
"What's your name?" The Emperor Zao In Red was a little curious.
"Rumo," the boy opened his mouth. His gentle voice revealed a calmness that didn't match his age. He wasn't like the others who were timid. He calmly faced The Emperor Zao In Red.
"You're not a summoner?" The Emperor Zao In Red's question was directed at the tenth main summoner who selected these new talents.
What he meant was, since he wasn't a summoner, why was he selected? Since when did the new talents of the Zao State start to judge people by their appearance?
In Penglai, in the Zao State, summoners had always been respected since ancient times.
If he couldn't even summon a summoned beast, then he was a piece of trash. In the Zao State, he could only be sent to the outer islands to do things.
"The Emperor Zao In Red, did you forget that this child was the abandoned baby you picked up back then? Although he can't summon a summoned beast, he is very talented. He can learn all magic with just one look. That's why I made an exception and selected him. "The tenth main summoner was afraid that The Emperor Zao In Red would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.
Rumo was picked up by The Emperor Zao In Red, but he didn't receive any special treatment.
He grew up with other orphans and babies. Babies in the Zao State were different from babies in other places. They weren't breastfed, but were fed by magical beasts.
Babies who were breastfed by magical beasts were born with the scent of magical beasts. It was easier for them to get close to magical beasts, and it was easier for them to become summoners in the future.
After being fed for a few years, Rumo's appearance slowly grew. He also lost the ugly bruises he had when he was first picked up.
Because of his outstanding appearance and cold personality, Rumo was bullied by other children in the Zao State before he was three years old.
Once, a few older boys led him to the Magic Beast Forest behind the Zao State that specialized in taming magical beasts.
In the Magic Beast Forest, there were some freshly caught magical beasts that were still wild.
The boys originally wanted to scare Rumo, but they didn't expect that they would attract a group of level four Tiger-Lion Beasts.
Among the boys, the oldest was only ten years old, and he had just learned intermediate magic.
After being surrounded by the Tiger-Lion Beasts, there was almost no chance of survival. However, when the summoners from the Zao State heard the commotion and rushed over, they found that except for one boy who was dead and one who was seriously injured, the rest of the boys were safe and sound.
The one who saved their lives was the youngest, Rumo.
When he found the boys, Rumo was still holding the magic scepter in his hand. He was familiar with many types of magic, and he could even use an intermediate magic.
As for that Intermediate Magic, it was something that Rumo had learned from the oldest boy and used on the spot.
It was also after that that Rumo's talent was discovered, and he was selected to participate in the Zao State's rookie selection.
He could learn any kind of magic in one go?
If that was true, then this five-year-old boy named Rumo could be said to be the continent's number one genius. It didn't matter whether he knew how to summon or not.
"If you can learn any kind of magic in one go, then I'll test you." The Emperor Zao In Red didn't believe him. He flipped his hand, and a purple and white magic thunder ball appeared on his palm.
That was The Emperor Zao In Red's unique magic, Thunder God's Break.
The boy didn't move.
"You can't? Well, that's not a normal magic … "The Emperor Zao In Red wasn't surprised. Thunder God's Break was an esoteric magic that combined two types of magic elements.
The purple and white magic light on the boy's hand was like a shooting star in the night sky, and it instantly attracted The Emperor Zao In Red's attention.
