The Magnificent Sky Dance: Book 4 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

by Fat Bread

  "Even if you are weak and don't have sharp weapons, as long as you have a strong will to protect this world, this world will choose you and love you too."

  It's not me... Yun Que shook her head. She never liked this world.

  She had put everything on the balance of war, and was willing to do anything for victory. For a person like her, it is impossible to obtain this world's blessing.

  Therefore, even though it was too absurd and incredible, the so-called "bride", the Water God's most beloved person... could only be that "person" from the beginning!

  Yun Que looked at "Yun Hai" up and down. So, is he the so called "bride"?

  If so, it explained everything.

  It wasn’t because he had great talent and luck. He was blessed by the god and the whole world simply because the Water God had chosen him as its bride!

  Beside Yun Xi's ears, he heard the star system's beep sound, which meant that he had accomplished the final quest. It was a blessing from the world, it was a gift from the stars.

  "The trial world's name: Water God's Fantasy Island."

  "Your final quest: Water God's bride!"

  "You have accomplished 100% of this quest. The footsteps of the world's changes are echoing between the heaven and the earth. Grasp the flower in your hand and confer the most beautiful bride to the god!"

  "Putting on your princess dress, become the unique Water God's bride!"

  "The Hidden Quest: God's Dream."

  "The world will play the last melody for you, because you are the chosen one. Step on your stage and go fight against the Sky Sword!"

  "The most beautiful bride, hold your sword and put on your princess dress and dance for the god!"

  The god was looking at you and had remembered all your behaviors. Your tenderness, your hopefulness for this world... when you lose your heart to this world and start to think "What can I do for this world? I want to save the people in this world", you have accomplished the final quest.

  When you accepted the one million brides and took the responsibility to save them all, you had become the Water God's most beautiful bride.

  Yun Xi came into this world, accepted the trust from the people, integrated into and finally fell in love with this world. The whole process made him get closer and closer to the god, finally obtaining the god’s love!

  Yun Xi likes this world, which means that he loves the Water God.

  Because the Water God is this world!

  The Water God was longing for a change in this world, and Yun Xi changed this world.

  What a long, long dream! And now, it's time to wake up, because the Water God had found its bride, the person who could wake it up.

  "Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!" Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's tone changed. Her outlook was toppled.

  "Why is he? No, you can't have him!"

  Countless green shadows appeared behind Shaya Longnis' back. She was so shocked that she couldn't perfectly control her power and some leaked out.

  Apparently, the Water God's choice was really a heavy blow to her.

  "Shaya, nothing is impossible. It's just because you don't want to believe and accept it. Don't hesitate, my cute Apostle, come here and become my bride. I will grant you the most beautiful dress, the most sacred blessing, and the most gorgeous stage! Right now, at this moment!"

  The Water God's voice sounded pleasant. The sea was spreading frightening waves. It was the sign of the reviving of the master of the sky, earth and sea.

  "Well…, can I refuse it?" Yun Xi said haltingly. He finally realized that something was wrong.

  I'm a man! How can I be a bride?

  By the way, what is the Water God's gender? It was still in question.

  "Sorry, you can't refuse me."

  Unlike the sacred aura Yun Xi felt before, after waking up from her long sleep, Hydra's character was more active.

  "As a lady, since I have met the bride I love, I must marry you! This is one of the most important of the creeds my predecessor had taught me!"

  "The god's wedding proposal can't be withdrawn, so... accept my gift and feel the power from a real god!"

  Chapter 282: Revive

  Overwhelming great waves swept towards Yun Xi's Water God's Opera House and wrapped it tightly inside the water, making it look like a transparent deep sea pearl.

  Between the sky and the earth, the origin, past and present of this world started to be portrayed in the air.

  "Long, long ago, I was not this world's god but just an outsider." Hydra started to tell her story.

  In the starry sky, a huge creature appeared, who was even much bigger than Mumu Salabert, the White Holy Dragon.

  It had nine heads, and its body was so long that could even wrap around the whole world, and it was indeed wrapping around the world with its body in the scene.

  Vaguely, Yun Xi recognized that the world was the prototype of the Island of Mist, but the world was more shabby without any vitality.

  "This world is dying. All gods had died, and only the last immortal dragon was still struggling and groaning."

  In that scene, the nine headed snake hesitated for a brief moment, finally opened its mouth and swallowed the dying world.

  "I ate this world to share my life with it. My blood turned into rivers, moistened the ground and flowed into the sea."

  After eating that world, the nine headed snake, Hydra, passed through a lot of god's domains and finally landed onto the remote White Lotus Sword Domain. It curled up on its body and quietly slept in the center of the Storm Eye.

  Yun Xi and the Starwing Knights girls landed on one of Hydra's heads. After thousands of years, the head had lithified and became an island.

  "The world revived because of me, and I was watching this world, this small garden in my body."

  "The beings living in this garden had pleasure, anger, sorrow and joy, parting and reunion that I didn't understand, due to some reason I'm curious about."

  "I learned a lot of things from them, and gradually, I forgot why I ate this world."

  "At the first, it was just a game, but when I realized it, I had become a real god."

  "Am I dreaming to be the god? Or am I the result of this world's dream?"

  "During that long, long time, I gradually lost myself and fell into a deep sleep, till someone came to this world, and come to me."

  "It was you. You are the person who changed this world and awakened me step by step."

  "I was looking at all your movements in this world."

  "The Lamia Queen is my instinct. She stands for 'reproduction' and 'evolution'."

  "The Mermaid Queen is my confusion. She stands for 'pursuit of tragedy and betrayal'."

  "The Caelian Queen is my intellect and persistence. She stands for my will of 'catching the treasure I have lost'."

  "The one million brides are my all. They stand for the whole world. When you proposed to them, it was equal to proposing to me."

  "Everything had been determined when you made your decision."

  Yun Xi finally understood why the process of the final quest kept going even though he didn't go to look for brides for the Water God.

  After he finished all the side quests and went to the last step of the final quest, the truth of this world was finally exposed.

  The god's dream... was him, who was guided by the stars and married the one million girls.

  "The god is the symbol of this world."

  "I am this world!"

  Infinite waves swept through the whole world. One island after another turned into a transparent small water ball, held in the huge creature’s mouth.

  The Water God, Hydra finally revealed its true body!

  "You finally come out, Hydra!" Looking at the monstrous creature, Shaya Longnis licked her lips with undisguised killing intent in her eyes.

  "Shaya, I won't give it to you. I caught it, so it's mine!" The Water God raised its head with pride, looking at its bride with its nine heads.

  "You are just a n
ine headed snake robber! This time, I will mince you!"

  Apparently, Shaya Longnis wouldn't give up on taking back the thing Hydra robbed from her before.

  "If we want something, we need to obtain it with our hands. This is what we were taught, isn't it?" Hydra leisurely ate the islands one by one and shook its giant body.

  "Humph. I know what you are. Don't pretend to be a god." Shaya Longnis sneered and thumbed down towards Hydra, then stored away the green shadows behind her.

  At the same time, Hydra spat out a green gem from its mouth, which was several times bigger than Yun Xi. The green gem flew to Yun Xi, then shrank and was engraved on Yun Xi's forehead.

  "Forever fourteen!"

  Shaya Longnis' body suddenly become a little bigger. It didn’t look obvious, the change was just like what happened to a girl who just grew up from 13 to 14 years old.

  "One of nine avatar!" Yun Xi's mask spread an aura again. The green gem had replaced the function of his heart, driving the blood and nervous system throughout his body.

  They were the changes the two legend ranked beings conferred to the bodies they had chosen.

  Neither the Sky Sword nor the Water God could battle in the Sky Sword God's Domain without any restriction, because it would cause an unpredictable result. Mumu Salabert, the White Holy Dragon was the best example. She paid a heavy price for her impetuous behavior.

  Therefore, they granted their powers to the bodies they chose, let them break a lance with each other.

  Shaya Longnis, chose her Apostle, the Dark Shadow Spider Queen.

  Hydra, the Water God, chose its bride Yun Xi.

  Chapter 283: A Bigger Miracle

  "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Strong heartbeats echoed between the sky and earth. It was the heartbeat of the young man who was wearing a silver mask that was engraved a green gem on it.

  At the same time, it was the heartbeat of this world's.

  I am the world!

  At this moment, he was the Water God's avatar!

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!" It was the sound of the rapidly growing hair, it was the sound of some weird thing. It was a sound that gave Yun Xi chills.

  It was the green field that was spreading behind the Dark Shadow Spider Queen, who had become the Sky Sword's avatar at this moment. Countless green traces weaved a big net, swallowing all things in this world with greed.

  The countdown of this world's destruction had started.

  "What a pity world! How unlucky it was to be eaten by a greedy snake like you." Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword attacked first. Her small, white hand brandished in the air as if it was a sword.

  A strong blast wave shot out of the sky, slashing toward Yun Xi. Undoubtedly, it was the strongest attack Yun Xi had ever faced.

  Even if it was a mountain chain in front of the blast wave, it would undoubtedly be crushed by it.

  As an ordinary member of Sky Sword God's Domain, Yun Xi never imagined that he would be attacked by a Sky Sword someday.

  "Do you really think so? I did eat this world, but to this world, it isn't an end. It's a brand new start!"

  Countless blood colored ripples appeared on Yun Xi's White Emperor Mask, the world in his eyes was covered with a layer of blood color.

  Hydra, the Water God fed this world with its flesh and blood, so that this world could survive after being absorbed by Hydra.

  A drop of water, a piece of soil, a wisp of air... everything in this world was affected with Hydra's aura.

  Its blood did stain the earth and flowed into the sea, finally eroding the whole world.

  After losing its original gods, this world was doomed to come to its end. But thanks to Hydra, it was revived.

  Whatever the reason, Hydra did replace the original gods of this world, becoming the supreme god of this born-again world.

  It became the Water God!

  This world recognized Hydra. At this moment, the blood colored ripples on Yun Xi's mask was the power from the power source of this world.

  Yun Xi raised his head, looking at the prodigious blast wave.

  He didn't draw back.

  He stretched out his fist, punching at the blast wave!

  At this moment, it wasn't his punch, it was the punch of the god, it was the punch of this world!

  The Water God's world chose Hydra but not the intruder, Shaya Longnis.

  Even though Hydra appeared also an outsider, it was already history. After feeding this world with its flesh and blood for thousands of years, the world had recognized it completely.

  No matter that Hydra was thousands of years ago, at this time, it was undoubtedly the only supreme god of this world, the god of millions of beings, the Water God!

  Only a very few humans surrendered to the outsider, Shaya Longnis. To the whole world, they were so negligible that they wouldn't even be counted as dust.

  After Shaya Longnis descended into this world, this world immediately stood to Hydra's side and poured its power into Yun Xi's body.

  The green gem on the mask was Hydra's Life Gem. With it, Yun Xi could use the power source of this world. Unlike the Dark Shadow Spider Queen, he still had 100% of his self-consciousness.

  "Boom!"

  The blast wave and his fist collided in the air. A huge mushroom cloud, which was probably ten kilometers tall, rose to the sky from the ground.

  The whole world trembled under the heavy blow. The batholith under the sea started to collapse, endless magma erupted from the ground, tidal waves, tornadoes and black typhoons appeared in groups. It seemed that no being could survive under these circumstances.

  "Build for me, my one million brides. Build the towers to protect this world!" Yun Xi yelled.

  This wasn't the end he wished for.

  Even if no one thought that this world could survive, he still wanted to change the end result!

  The power from the source of this world couldn't distinguish good or evil, right or wrong. It chose Yun Xi simply due to Hydra's will.

  "Build the four World Towers!"

  Information about the World Towers slowly flowed into Yun Xi's mind. It was the legacy of the stars, it was a Wonder of the Starchild.

  The Eastward World Tower:

  "Are you dreaming of it? The old paradise, the place you were longing for."

  "Can your heart become pure in this place?"

  "Time has stopped for you. Please keep your promise, by looking for the thing you left here."

  "In the flowing of time and space, please stop and listen to the sounds from this place."

  "Therefore, we will build this tower to stop time. This is the Eastward World Tower, where the sun rises day after day."

  The Southern World Tower:

  "The dream in the past, the sea in your memory, we will reproduce them here."

  "Can this world make you happy?"

  "If you need to rest, please go here."

  "Time is flowing forward, and the world has changed, but there is still someone waiting for you."

  "Therefore, we will build this tower to let you watch the sea. This is the Southern World Tower, the place of dream and promise."

  The Western World Tower:

  "The scene at sunset is the most beautiful scene. This is the place where you can see the sunset."

  "We are waiting, and will wait till time has lost its meaning. Do you still remember the promise of that time?"

  "New lives have been born in the sea of gems. They will become the new children of this world, and won't remember any sadness from the past."

  "The sunset isn't the end, but the start of everything."

  "Therefore, we will build this tower to let you watch the sunset. This is the Western World Tower, the place where the sun falls."

  The Northern World Tower:

  "The song of ice and fire is playing at this place. This is the end of the world, at the end of the sea."

  "This is the darkness' home, and the place where the bright lights were born. Half of this place is fire and half of this place i
s water, the flow will never stop."

  "If you can't see stars, we will create stars, giving birth to new lives on the earth."

  "This this the source of life, the place where everything starts."
