Li Wanji stared at the system panel again and again, the shock in her heart was difficult to calm down.
Even though she knew that Zhongrong was the God of the Sun and possessed supreme divine power, and that if she combined with him, her offspring would surely be extraordinary, this result was far beyond her expectations.
All twelve children are of heavenly bloodline, and each possesses unique talents closely related to time, nature, life, death, etc. This is simply a miracle unprecedented in the history of reproduction!
In this world, apart from great creators like Pangu and Nuwa, I am afraid no one else can create life so extraordinary.
Zhong Rong's eyes were filled with tears: "Wan Ji, I can sense that my sentence will be completed soon."
"Has your sentence expired?" Li Wanji was very confused. "The divine shackles on your body were set by the great god Di Jun, and he has long been dead. If you don't find a way to unlock them, how can you escape?"
Zhong Rong originally thought that the reason their Jinwu clan was almost facing the crisis of extinction was just because of the serious illnesses of the human and demon races, but he never expected that there was a deeper secret hidden behind it.
"Wanji, you don't know. The ten suns appearing in the same sky is not just our fault. It is a test of the way of heaven, a test of the law of balance of all things in the world."
"He wanted to bring down a disaster to see how all things would respond, but he never expected that our Golden Crow clan would become the embodiment of that disaster."
"Houyi was also following the will of heaven and carrying out his mission, not for personal grudges. His arrows not only caused the nine suns to fall, but also corrected the imbalance between heaven and earth."
"Arong, are you saying that all this is fate?"
"Yes and no. Heaven may really want to test all living beings, but our fate is not entirely determined by it."
"As the saying goes, when things reach their extremes, they will turn into their opposites. At that time, our Jinwu clan was too powerful, which caused the imbalance between heaven and earth, and thus led to that catastrophe."
When he saw the mark of Heaven on the children, Zhong Rong suddenly realized that the sins of their Jinwu clan had finally been atoned for, and Heaven had re-endowed their clan with a new mission and glory.
"Wanji, the divine power of the children is actually not as strong as mine and my brothers, but what they carry is the purest and most primitive power in the world - the protective power of the twelve earthly branches."
“Although this power is not visible, it is closely related to the growth of all things, the changing of seasons, and the passage of time. It is the embodiment of the most fundamental laws in the world.”
Li Wanji vaguely understood: "Jungrong, are you saying that the disaster that occurred on the same day for ten days is actually a warning, reminding all things in the world to follow the way of balance and not to blindly pursue power and ignore the laws of heaven and earth?"
Zhong Rong nodded: "That's right, Wan Ji. The law of nature is reincarnation. What is prosperous will inevitably decline, and what is declining will inevitably flourish. This is the common sense of the universe."
"So, when the children ascend to the throne of God in the future, they will take turns to guard the heaven and earth every hour and every month, ensuring that all things in the world follow the laws of nature, the four seasons are in order, day and night alternate, and life continues forever."
After hearing this, Li Wanji was filled with thoughts.
In this way, the children will take office as the new sun gods, and the old god Zhongrong will finally be freed from his long-standing imprisonment.
Everything seemed so natural, as if it was a road that had been paved by heaven long ago, waiting for them to take one step at a time.
"But Ah Rong, will you really be able to break free and regain your freedom? I am always worried that you will become an existence that affects the balance of heaven and earth, and the world will not be able to accommodate you."
Indeed, according to the logic that Zhongrong just said, Li Wanji's worries are not groundless.
His power is so strong that if he loses control again once he regains his freedom, it may cause a new disaster.
A bitter smile appeared on Zhongrong's lips. "For the past 80,000 years, my power has been dissipating day by day, being constantly absorbed and sealed by the Light Shackles. When I regain my freedom, perhaps only one ten-thousandth of my full power will remain."
Li Wanji was full of thoughts. After all, in the history of gods that she knew, when a new god took over the position of an old god, it was often at the cost of the fall of the old god in order to maintain the balance of the universe.
There is almost no such thing as abdication and retirement by the old gods. They fight to the death and until death they will transform into a breeze or a ray of sunshine between heaven and earth... and continue to protect the world in another form.
Gods are revered by all living beings not only because of their power, but also because of the responsibilities and sacrifices they bear.
So when Li Wanji learned that the children would succeed Zhongrong as the heirs of the Sun God, she was so worried about Zhongrong's future situation, fearing that he would become the one forgotten by the laws of the universe or excluded by the new order.
However, Zhongrong's eyes flashed with unprecedented determination and relief.
"Wanji, you don't need to worry too much. Under the laws of heaven, everything has its destiny and its destination. Although I am the god of the sun, I am also a speck of dust in the universe and will eventually return to the boundless torrent of the universe."
"My destiny has long been closely linked to this world. Whether it is imprisonment or freedom, it is all part of the laws of the universe."
"When I am freed from my restraints, I may lose most of my divine power, or I may fall in a magnificent sunrise in the sky, turning into thousands of golden lights and merging into all things in the world."
"But meeting you and raising these twelve sons of God together is the greatest luck and achievement of my life. Their growth will be my last tribute to this world and the place where my soul can rest in peace."
Li Wanji's eyes were slightly red. "Ah Rong, I am just a fairy who has ascended to heaven not long ago. I don't have the profound insights like you. I just hope that you can live well. Do you understand?"
"I haven't had the chance to travel with you through all the mountains, rivers, and scenery of the four seasons in this world, so how can I bear to see you go before me?"
Her voice was almost choked with sobs. Even though it had nothing to do with love, Zhongrong had long been an indispensable existence in her heart. He was her guiding light and support during her time in the Palace of the Sun God.
Zhongrong gathered his spiritual power and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes: "Wanji, I'm sorry. I know you just gave birth and shouldn't worry too much. I still said these nonsense to make you sad. It's really..."
"Wan Ji, I'm just not as powerful as I used to be. I won't die in a short time. I, Zhong Rong, am thick-skinned. I want to stay in this world for a while longer, and spend the rest of my life with you, appreciating the flowers and the moon."
There was a hint of joking in Zhongrong's words, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere.
"But, by then I might need your protection. Would you despise me, an old golden crow that can neither fly nor fight?"
Li Wanji finally burst into laughter and said, "Arong, if you can always be this beautiful, I would be willing to stay by your side every day."
"Oh, from what you said, you're saying that if one day my appearance is no longer shiny, you'll leave me?" Zhong Rong covered his chest in an exaggerated manner, but his eyes were full of smiles and pampering.
Li Wanji scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about! I hope you can keep this style forever. Besides, I am superficial. Is it wrong for me to like handsome men?"
