God Realm, Holy Realm.
In this sea of flowers that stretched as far as the eye could see, the pure white goddess that was originally lying here had already disappeared.
In her place was a young girl.
She looked to be about 13 or 14 years old. She had fair skin, a petite figure, and waist-length blonde hair. She had an adorable appearance, and she was dressed in extremely bold and revealing clothes. She only had an open front fur coat and a leather jacket that covered her important parts. On her head was a hat with a wide brim that protruded like a witch's, and she also wore an eye patch that covered her right eye.
In one of the young girl's hands was a huge spear that had a design similar to that of a tree and was entirely made of gold.
Impressively, it was the goddess that Shien had met once.
Ever since the last time she changed into this appearance, the goddess seemed to be quite fond of this state, or rather, she seemed to have understood that Shien liked this appearance, and had been maintaining this appearance.
It wasn't that she liked this appearance, but since Shien liked it, and there was a goddess named after her former good friend who had the same appearance as her, it was a pleasure for her to change slightly and exist here in a different appearance.
Of course, there were very few people who were fortunate enough to see her in this appearance, and it could even be said that there was no one else except for Shien and Nyen.
However, the goddess didn't care, and continued to stand in the middle of the sea of flowers in this appearance of a demon god from another world.
Upon closer inspection, the goddess's left eye that was only exposed was also closed, as if she was resting.
Gusts of wind blew through the sea of flowers from time to time, causing the goddess's fur coat to flutter and sway in the wind, looking rather elegant.
Until a certain moment, the goddess seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly opened her eyes.
She turned her gaze and looked in a certain direction, as if she could see the situation in another distant world. She murmured softly.
She murmured softly, "Have you found the 'key' to return to the past?"
The goddess seemed to have expected this day, and she muttered to herself.
"He should be in pain now, right?"
"After all, the heroes who were summoned to this world after that child will all have most of their memories taken away by the mechanism that 'she' secretly set up."
"But even though 'she' is powerful, she isn't as omnipotent as my power. She can only destroy memories with violence, and once such memories are recovered, it will definitely bring great pain to the person involved."
"Even the [Hero's Summoning Style] doesn't know about this, so he must have been kept in the dark."
But this was a test that he had to go through.
It didn't matter if the other heroes lost their memories from their previous lives, but he couldn't.
The reason why he came to this world and obtained his current strength was not just because he was summoned to this world and became a Hero.
The order was reversed.
Others were summoned to this world, and only then did they awaken the concept of 'Hero', obtaining the power of the three Supreme Concepts and obtaining it.
Due to various coincidences, he was forced to become an existence like the Hero from the moment he was born. He obtained the power of the Three Supreme Concepts and became the only individual who possessed power in an alternate world.
To a certain extent, it was inevitable that he would be summoned to this world.
Therefore, it was fine if he didn't want to know the truth of everything. However, if he wanted to know everything and understand everything, then he had to find those memories and the first half of his life.
Who asked him to be a part of this situation, and not an outsider at all?
'Goddess'.
'Hero'.
'Hero'.
These three Concepts had always been intertwined and entangled with each other.
Since the child wanted to find the truth of his past, he naturally had to participate in this as well.
The goddess didn't mind helping him, but the ruins had always been a forbidden zone for her.
"Her" power was guarding that place, and people like her who were restrained by it were basically unable to enter. She couldn't even use her omniscient power to peek at that place. She could only rely on her precious jade that existed in the child's body to faintly sense what was happening.
Thus, the goddess could only offer some blessings to the child here.
"I hope that you can make up for the regrets that the three of us once had."
The goddess murmured with hope.
…
At the same time, Shien was in great pain, just as the goddess in the Holy Realm had said.
In his mind, pieces of memories emerged in the burning pain, making Shien feel even more tormented.
"What the hell is going on …!?"
Shien wanted to shout, but sadly found that he couldn't even do this level of things.
Right now, he felt as if his head had been forcefully taken to a stove to be burned. It was painful, yet so hot that it drove him crazy.
Under such circumstances, some seemingly fragmented pictures and voices kept appearing in his mind.
— — "Why is this happening? "
— — "Why did that power come to this child? "
— — "Is it because I have been strongly rejecting this power, so it came to my child? "
— — "Why is this happening? Why is this happening …!? "
This was a picture of a young woman holding her newborn child, crying in a dark room.
— — "Mom, I'm so hot. "
— — "Don't worry, it will be fine in a while. "
— — "Why do I get so hot every once in a while? Is it because I have some kind of disease? "
— — "Of course not. Don't think too much. You are in good health. You won't get any disease. "
— — "If it's not a disease, then what do I have? "
— — "… Maybe it's a curse. "
— — "Curse? "
— — "Yes, a curse, the curse that my useless mother left for you. "
This was a scene of a young woman taking care of a little boy lying on a bed while speaking with a sorrowful voice and expression.
— — "Come here! "
— — "I don't! I'm not wrong! "
— — "You still say you're not wrong? Don't you see what you've done to him! "
— — "I said I didn't! I just pushed him gently! And he flew out by himself! "
— "Didn't I tell you many times that you're not allowed to play with other kids, and you're not allowed to fight with others? "
— — "Why? Is it really like what those people said? Because I'm a monster!? "
— — "… You're not a monster. "
— — "Then what am I!? "
— — "You're my son! Always will be! "
This was the young woman lecturing her son, who was gradually growing up. At the end of the lecture, it turned into a scene of tears.
Along with these images, the young woman's advice from a young age began to appear in Shien's mind.
"Remember, you are different from others. There is something in your body that others do not. If you don't pay attention, not only will you hurt others, but you will also hurt yourself.
"You may not be able to control this power now, but it doesn't matter. This power has no ill intentions towards you, so you can't let it do as it pleases. You must suppress it and reject it so that it will settle down.
"When you get used to it, this power will fall asleep, just like I did in the beginning. It will be very difficult to wake up.
"If one day, you awaken this power, you must control it.
"This is a power that can turn the world upside down. You must use it properly, understand?"
The young woman's advice was so clear, so clear.
At that time, Shien finally remembered how serious and serious her expression was.
Why did he forget?
Why did he only think of such an important matter now?
Shien hit his head hard, not because he was upset, but because he remembered something important.
Yes.
Yes!
That's my … mother!
So, she is …
So, I am …
The clues in his mind gradually connected, and finally led to a truth that shocked and even made Shien feel absurd.
"Xiao Hui" — — this name became the key for Shien to find the past, the key to everything.
Then, a final image flashed in Shien's mind.
It was a wish that the young woman unintentionally muttered one night under the stars.
— — "If there is a chance, I really want to see those two again. "
This wish, this image, became the last memory that flashed in Shien's mind.
"— —"
Unknowingly, Shien's somewhat painful cry stopped.
The magic that burned from his body also gradually subsided.
The airwaves gradually dissipated.
The inside of the ruins gradually calmed down.
"Huff … huff …"
Shien knelt in the middle of the ruins, holding his head and panting. His eyes flashed with shock, silence, and complicated emotions.
"Master …"
A figure staggered toward Shien.
Shien seemed to remember something. He quickly turned his head, looked at the source of the sound, and saw his little maid.
Hu Xia's body was covered in black ash. His body was a little unstable, and he staggered as he walked. He looked very wretched.
"La Xia!"
Shien reacted, ignoring his heart that had not fully calmed down and his faintly burning head. He got up and walked in the direction of La Xia.
"Woo …"
Hua Xia's figure swayed, and his feet trembled as he threw himself forward.
Sean hurriedly stretched out his hand, just in time to catch Xia who threw herself into his arms.
"[Celestial Breath]!"
In the next second, Shien did not hesitate to use the celestial healing magic, so that starlight shone from his body and shone on La Xia's body.
"Are you okay?" Shien said with some guilt while healing La Xia, "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."
A bitter expression appeared on Shien's face.
La Xia slowly breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was much better. She raised her head and looked at Shien.
"What happened?"
La Xia asked seriously.
However, Shien had a complicated expression when he heard this.
Thinking of everything that had just appeared in his mind, Shien sighed.
"It's okay, I just remembered some things from the past."
Said Shien.
"Things from the past?"
La Xia was slightly stunned.
"Yes." Shien nodded and said with an inexplicable sigh, "Although I haven't remembered everything, I seem to have remembered the most important parts."
No, not only did he remember, but he also connected the past and the current events together, and finally found some truth.
Even the past that he had forgotten once, and some of the mysteries that had puzzled him for the first half of his life, were solved.
Therefore, Shien felt unusually complicated.
"Let's go back first."
Shien shook his head at La Xia who wanted to say something but said so.
"I also need to sort out my thoughts."
No matter what, things had developed to this point, and the truth and answer he got had to a certain extent far exceeded Shien's imagination.
What should he do?
Shien's mind was still in a mess, and he couldn't think of a reason for the time being.
But he knew that he had to think about it carefully and sort out his thoughts.
In order to make up for the obvious … biggest regret in this life that couldn't be hidden for long.
