Chapter 955

"Goddess …"

Shien looked at Vivian speechlessly.

He did not expect that the so-called "Guardian of the Kingdom" was actually referring to a Goddess.

The superior Goddess who was in charge of the Realm of Guardians — Vivian.

This gentle and considerate captain of Vivian's team, who knew how to take care of others and had always been taking care of others, was actually a goddess in the past. Such a thing was simply shocking.

Vivian looked at the speechless Shien and could not help but laugh.

"Her Highness Rosie, Lily, and Tierre know more or less about it. Melica and Lucia, on the other hand, didn't know about it until recently. I haven't explained it in front of them yet," Rosie said as she looked at Lily.

Vivian put on her usual gentle expression and said so.

"This time, many goddesses of the Protoss have come to the Royal Capital. I actually know many of them. Recently, I've been reminiscing with them. It's really nostalgic."

Vivian's tone did not contain any negative emotions. There was only nostalgia and a hint of melancholy.

Evidently, after losing her Goddess body and becoming a human, Vivian rarely had the chance to meet her own kind.

"Have you been staying in the Kingdom for the past 1,000 years?"

Shien asked Vivian with a bitter smile.

"Yes." Vivian nodded and said, "Back then, after I expressed my wish to participate in the final battle as a human, the female human who was once one of the 13 heroes and the companion of the Hero Mithra volunteered to become the mother that gave birth to me."

At that time, Vivian was severely injured and on the verge of death.

Not long after, the final battle between the Gods, Humans, and Demons was about to begin, and the Protoss and Humans were in urgent need of her return.

In view of this, Vivian gave up on struggling at death's door. After expressing her wish, she sacrificed her life and transferred the [True Seal] into the body of the Hero who volunteered to become her mother.

After that, with the power of Anima, the Goddess of Life, Vivian grew rapidly in the womb of the female human. In just a month, she was born, and with the power of the Goddess of Life, her body quickly grew to 14 years old.

In this way, Vivian successfully rushed to the battlefield before the final battle and became the frontline commander of the Gods and Humans.

It was also in that battle that Vivian played a great role. Her power of Guardian forcibly saved the frontline from collapse countless times, and finally succeeded in dragging the battle until Hero Mithra joined forces with the Supreme Goddess Omniss to defeat the Demon King.

The war ended, and the Demons also surrendered. The three races signed a peace treaty in the first three-race meeting in history, ushering in a millennium of peace for the Omnippertansen.

As for Vivian, because of this mess, her life form had completely changed. Although the [True Seal] was left behind, and her authority was also left behind, she had lost her goddess body forever. Even if she died and was resurrected through the [True Seal], she would not be able to be reborn as a god again.

The three goddesses had expressed that they were willing to ask the High God Omnys to restore Vivian's goddess body for the sake of such a sacrifice.

Unfortunately, at that time, the Supreme Goddess had already entered the Sanctuary-realm and fell into an eternal sleep.

Even so, the three Goddesses and the Protoss Goddesses still expressed that they wanted to take Vivian back to the Divine Realm and continue to live there.

However, at that time, Hero Mithra was preparing to build a kingdom, and the companion of the Hero who volunteered to become Vivian's mother died in that battle. Vivian decided to carry on her unfulfilled wish and help the Hero build a kingdom. She wanted to block the covetous human kingdoms such as the Ragnar Empire and other human forces for the then weak Mithra Kingdom.

Therefore, Vivian decided to stay in the kingdom.

This time, Vivian stayed for a whole thousand years.

For a thousand years, Vivian had been helping the Mithra Kingdom openly and secretly, shielding the Mithra Kingdom from the wind and rain.

Over time, Vivian was known as the Guardian Goddess of the kingdom. Even after a thousand years, her reputation still resounded in the ears of the higher-ups of the various forces.

"Of course, as a completely human, even if I don't die in battle, I will have the concept of aging, sickness, and death. I will no longer be eternal like before."

Vivian said so.

"In these thousand years, I died of old age many times and was resurrected many times through the [True Seal]. When I was still young, I was either adopted by the royal family or by the nobles that the royal family trusted. I guess I've experienced a lot of life."

This time, Vivian was adopted by the Lazahad family that the royal family had always trusted, and she became Lily's childhood friend.

Vivian looked like an adopted daughter of a noble family and an adventurer of low status, but in reality, almost no one dared to disrespect her among the nobles in the capital.

If not for that, how could she enter the palace as she pleased, and even bring Shien to see Rosie when he first entered the capital?

At that time, Rosie was still the most precious treasure of the kingdom waiting to be married off. Countless nobles wanted to see her, but Vivian could casually bring a man to see her. This showed Vivian's status and reputation.

Vivian had always been gentle, considerate, and respectful to everyone. However, if one thought about it carefully, as long as she was around, no matter if it was the nobles or the royal family, they would all greet Vivian in the end.

This was the manifestation of Vivian's status and reputation.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you."

Vivian suddenly remembered something and said to Shien.

"Madam Lidas and Madam Anima have officially entrusted me to participate in the subduing of the Dwarf Race."

As soon as this was said, Shien was surprised.

"Lidas and Anima asked you to subdue the Dwarf Race?"

Shien was very surprised.

"That's right." Vivian nodded her head heavily and said, "This time, the Protoss and the kingdom will send a large team of experts to the Dwarf Race. However, the transcendent level existences will not go. Madam Lidas and Madam Anima think that if I go, it will be a reassuring assurance."

Although the transcendent level existences should not be involved in the subduing of the Dwarf Race, who knows what kind of traps there might be there?

If the Protoss and the kingdom's experts were all wiped out, the loss would be huge.

Under such circumstances, the power of Vivian, who had the Authority of Guardian, could support the battlefront by herself, and defend a country, a race, or even a world by herself, was especially important.

With her around, even if there was a mishap, she could protect the Protoss and the human race's strength and retreat with ease.

"Originally, Madam Lidas and Madam Anima wanted to entrust You Lin and Melica to go with me."

"However, in that kind of underground kingdom, aerial warfare is basically prohibited. The destructive dragon breath might also cause the kingdom to collapse. If You Lin goes there, her hands will be tied."

"Melica's Nature Magic won't be of much use in that kind of harsh environment."

"So, this time, Tierre will go with me. You Lin and Melica will stay here. Lumia's strength is still rather weak. I'm inclined to leave her here in the mansion."

Vivian explained her thoughts to Shien, as well as the whereabouts of the people in the mansion in the future.

Shien didn't stop her.

Vivian and the others had their own freedom of movement. They weren't his subordinates, but his family. As long as they didn't do anything bad, Shien wouldn't stop them.

Shien wasn't interested in subduing the Dwarf Race. However, it was an important operation for the Protoss and the human race. Since Lidas and Anima had spoken, Vivian naturally wouldn't refuse.

Shien wasn't too worried about their safety.

Under the situation where the transcendent level existences wouldn't intervene, Tierre's strength was enough to protect herself. Coupled with Vivian, who could support the battlefront and protect countless people on her own, even if the operation failed, they should be able to keep their lives.

By the way …

"This time, Lily will bring the Lazahad Family to participate in the operation. I heard that the one from the Elbeyn Family will also be coming."

Vivian smiled meaningfully, which made Shien raise his eyebrows.

"He plans to participate too?" Shien couldn't help but ask, "Will Tierre fight with him?"

One had to know that the two of them still had a battle to fight.

"No," Vivian laughed. "Whether it's Leader Alidia or Tierre, they aren't people who would disregard the overall situation."

"Is that so?" Shien curled his lips and said, "Then you probably don't understand Tierre. If she's stubborn, even I can't persuade her."

"Yes." Vivian smiled. "But she's just stubborn. She won't do something so irrational."

The problem was that once it involved her matters or that man's matters, the little girl would often become somewhat irrational.

Otherwise, why would she ask him to go to the capital alone to look for his horn? Why would she risk her life and challenge Alidia even though she knew that he wasn't a match for him?

When it came to his own safety, his fiancée always acted on her own accord.

"It seems like I have to have a good talk with her before you guys set off."

Shien said helplessly.

"That's fine too." Vivian naturally wouldn't have any objections. She said, "If it's you, that child will listen to you seriously, right?"

Speaking of this, Vivian smiled again.

"Whether it's Tierre or Merica, their lives have changed greatly because of you. I didn't expect you to accept them. You're really something."

Vivian's words made Shien feel a little awkward.

It couldn't be helped.

Thinking back to when he first joined Vivian's team, Shien was very firm and said in front of everyone that he would keep a distance from them and wouldn't get too close to them.

Who would have thought that he would be in contact with two of them at a negative distance, to the point where he couldn't get any closer?

This … was completely a slap in the face!

Vivian seemed to also remember what happened at that time, and a teasing expression appeared on her face.

"Why don't you accept Lucia as well? Although there's nothing special about that child, she's a very hardworking and good girl who takes care of her younger sisters."

Hearing this, the corner of Shien's mouth twitched.

"I didn't expect you to be like this, Vivian."

This sudden matchmaking also hurt Shien's waist.

Vivian blinked and said with a rare mischievous smile.

"Think about it."

After saying that, Vivian turned around and left.

Shien scratched his head. He didn't know what to do.

This former goddess was really great and mischievous.
