Heaven and humans have a long life span, so they are doomed to be forgetful, otherwise, how can they distinguish between yesterday and today when the memories of thousands of years come together in front of them?

As time passed day by day, the tragedy that the Thunder God Army once bloodbathed half of the heavens was also forgotten. Whether it was a general who had experienced the sensational event of the emperor changing his post or just heard the wind, he was persuaded by King Asura The tribes who surrendered to the new Emperor of Heaven tacitly forgot the oath of loyalty they had made to the previous Emperor of Heaven, and no longer mentioned the word "rebellion".Whenever Shanjian City holds a banquet, envoys from various ethnic groups will come to congratulate and attend the meeting, it seems that the peaceful time in the past has reappeared.

The heavens were still stable and peaceful, so the heavenly people never mentioned how Di Shitian, the "Emperor of Heaven", came to be, and performed this prosperous and beautiful drama together.

In the second year after the new Emperor took over, Tianhou Shezhi gave birth to a prince, who was named "Tianwang" by the Emperor of Heaven.

The Emperor of Heaven was busy with government affairs, so he seldom took care of the King himself. When the King of Heaven was babbling, and pestered him constantly calling "Father King", his patience was exhausted, so he picked up the King of Heaven and went out.

Di Shitian carried his child in the posture of carrying a sack, striding past, the cloak behind him rolled into waves, and finally, under the astonished eyes of everyone, he stopped in front of the palace where King Ashura worked. Throw the child directly to King Asura.

If it weren't for King Ashura's good eyesight and quick reaction, it is estimated that the king of heaven would have a big bump on his head.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Kartikeye caught the flying child, stroked his head to comfort him, and looked suspiciously at the Heavenly Emperor outside the door.

Di Shitian scratched his head impatiently.

"I don't have time to take care of this child. Anyway, you have a child with you, so it doesn't matter if you have one more."

"...if this is your order."

Kartikeye's words rolled in his mouth a few times, and finally he only said this sentence.

Di Shitian shook his hands and left, leaving his own son and King Asura staring blankly.

Kartikeye looked at the little prince who was only one year older than his elder brother's son, but he couldn't be cruel. Before the child cried, he said softly, "I'll take you to your mother."

The young Heavenly King nodded repeatedly, and obediently climbed onto King Asura's lap and sat down.

Although he said he was going to send the Heavenly King away, the accumulated official duties in Shanjian City were not a joke. Kartikeye temporarily dealt with the most urgent part before he could take the child to find his mother, but when he turned his head and looked at the Heavenly King Only then did he realize that the child had fallen asleep at some point.

"call……"

Kartikeye looked at the face of the king, he was just a cute child now, and he still couldn't see the influence of the blood that Indra passed on to him. From the facial features, the king looked more like Shezhi than Indra, Don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.Also a child of Shezhi, Surya is more like his biological father. Of course, the black hair and golden eyes of the Asura royal family played a decisive role in this "similarity".

"What is Di Shitian thinking..."

Kartikeye picked up the sleeping king and walked to the palace of Shezhi.

Didn't Di Shitian forget that there was a brother-killing feud between the two of them?

Just throwing my son to the enemy like this, I am not afraid of his evil thoughts together, a slip of the hand - that short-lived malice seems to have touched the child's keen perception, the king of heaven writhed uncomfortably, Kartikeye sighed and let go of his heart Those dark thoughts.

In any case, Uranus is innocent.

In order to protect Surya, Shezhi gave birth to him. No matter what role Di Shitian played in this matter and how many sacrifices Shezhi made, the king who was born as an "exchange condition" is innocent of.

Could it be because of this that Di Shitian disliked his child so much?

The more Kartikeye thought about it, the more confused he became, and he had no idea what Di Shitian was thinking.

The guards near Tianhou's palace were all Asura warriors. Under the signal of King Asura, they all kept quiet and watched King Asura go to see the concubine of the former king.

The considerate maid left quietly, and finally gently covered the doors and windows of the palace, cutting off prying eyes from outside.

Shezhi smiled and went forward to salute.

"My lord, please give me the king of heaven."

Of course, Kartikeye would not refuse this reasonable request, but Shezhi took the baby and put it directly into the small bed next to him, without any intention of hugging him at all. He saw it and didn't say anything.

Shezhi pulled down the curtain beside the king's bed, allowing him to rest quietly, and led King Asura to the more secretive depths of the palace. She did not remove it until no third party could hear their conversation. The smile on his face dropped, and he asked softly, "Is Suliye okay now?"

"Very good, Peacock often plays with him, and Jia Luo takes care of him most of the time."

Kartike paused.

"However, it seems that Surya doesn't quite believe his mother is no longer in heaven. Peacock said that one day Surya took him to see the stars and made a wish, saying that he hoped that his mother could appear in front of him."

Shezhi's complexion changed, she bit her lip lightly, and after a while, she whispered, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Wang."

If it wasn't because of her "one mistake" in the past, it would be impossible for her to be trapped in the city of good view now. She could return to the city of Ashura openly and stay by King Ashura's side, but it was already too late.

Kartikeye smiled and waved his hands.

"Suliye is your brother and your child. How could he be troublesome? He is very smart and well-behaved... I was thinking, after a few years, I can bring him to Shanjian City. At that time, he Then you can meet your mother and brother."

"The Heavenly King is not his brother—!"

Shezhi yelled these words too urgently, almost distorting the original beautiful timbre.

She spoke too hastily, and she didn't realize something was wrong until she finished speaking. She lowered her head, clenched her fists slowly, and repeated it in a low voice.

"Heavenly King is not Surya's brother, but the son of an enemy."

The bright pearls and candles in the palace failed to illuminate the darkness here. Shezhi wanted to hide her expression in such darkness. After a short silence, she heard a sigh.

Kartikeye waited for a while, seeing that Shezhi didn't notice it, he said "I'm sorry", grabbed Shezhi's tightly clenched right fist with his left hand, and gently opened her tightly clasped fingers with his right hand.

Whether she is the concubine of Asura King or the Queen of Heaven today, Shezhi has always been dressed gorgeously. In order to protect her delicate fingers, her ring finger and little finger wear armor made of gold and gemstones. Now this sharp armor thorn Her palm was broken, and the two red dots continued to ooze blood.

Kartikeye's fingertips lit up with a golden flame, and lightly brushed over the wound. Under the dual power of the flame and illusion, the bleeding stopped immediately, but the wound was still fresh.

"Please cherish yourself more, Your Highness Shezhi. Please rest assured, if you don't want it, I will not let Surya and His Highness the Heavenly King know about their connection."

Shezhi lowered her head and gave a soft "hmm".

Kartikeye retreated to his original position, leaving enough space for the former princess.

"Di Shitian doesn't like the Heavenly King?"

"Hehe..." Shezhi couldn't help laughing when she heard this question, "Since the birth of the Heavenly King, he has only visited him twice, the first time was when the Heavenly King was born, and the second time was the Hundred Days Banquet. Today I asked the Heavenly King to find his father, hoping that the Heavenly Emperor would like him more, but it seems to be completely futile, and it has added trouble to the King instead."

"I don't care." Kartikeye glanced back at the small bed, "I just think... that child is too pitiful."

"How could it be?" Shezhi asked with a light smile, "Compared to Surya who can't see his parents, the king of heaven is lucky enough, isn't he? His father is the emperor of heaven, and his mother is the queen of heaven. He is destined to get Supreme authority, is there any child luckier than the Heavenly King in this heaven?"

Kartikeye recalled the disappointment and dejection on the face of the king when he learned that "father is going to throw himself to others", and couldn't help sighing.

"But this kind of luck may not be what the king of heaven wants. It's like——if my brother can come back, I don't want the glory of being the 'King of Ashura' at all."

Shezhi knew that this was a good time for her to express her position and seek mercy from King Asura, but she couldn't say anything.

If the former Asura King came back—then, she would only be his brother's wife forever.

After the uncomfortable silence, Kartikeye was the first to break it.

"Sorry, I lost my word. Your Highness Shezhi, there have been some strange movements on the border recently. It may be that the demons have made a comeback. I will set off soon. The two gods will still stay in Shanjian City to protect you—— When I am not in Renlitian, please protect yourself carefully and take care of the Asura clan for me."

If King Asura leaves, the guards of Asura City will become weaker. The clansmen who stay in the city can still rely on the special protection of Asura City, but the clansmen outside the city may not be able to return to Asura City in time.

Now almost all the Asuras who stayed outside the city of Asura were by Shezhi's side, and Kartikeye's intention of exhorting them was very obvious.

Shezhi was startled, and blurted out: "Are you going to fight, Wang? You obviously didn't hear any rumors before..."

"Yeah, since my brother's big purge on the border, there has been no large-scale movement of the demons for a long time. I received a letter from Yemo, the prince of the Yaksha tribe, saying that demons sometimes appear in the area guarded by the Yaksha tribe. Go to I couldn’t find any traces if I tracked it down, so I didn’t feel relieved, so I decided to see it with my own eyes.”

Kartikeye smiled, "It's just a routine investigation, nothing will happen."

Shezhi pursed her lips unwillingly, and it took several seconds before she thought of what to say.

"In the past, the king had always been accompanied by Xingjian when he went out. Now that Xingjian is closed in the astrology palace, is the king going like this? If Xingjian can't perform her duties, why should she continue to lead the title? It's better to choose a new one." see the stars, lest the celestial armies be like blind men who have lost their eyes."

"Jiu Yao must have her own difficulties."

Kartikeye recalled the first time he saw Jiuyao back then. The girl who used to hide behind the teacher Zun Xingwang now inherited Xingjian's tin rod. What did she see in the star trail to be so silent?

"Besides, 'Xingjian' is not a title, it is not something that can be taken away and given at will. Jiuyao is the star view of the current world, so before the destiny comes, the star view will only be her. Even if there is no fortuneteller, it doesn't matter, war You can’t just rely on prophecy.”

Shezhi still wanted to distinguish, but finally gritted his teeth bitterly and stopped talking, and instead replied obediently and submissively: "When the king is not in Renlitian, I will definitely guard the tribe and wait for you to come back."

After explaining things to Shezhi, Kartikeye returned to Asura City. He packed his luggage casually and prepared to leave the city. He didn't expect to meet a peacock who was also carrying a bag at the gate of the city.

"My lord, I want to go with you too! How can King Asura go out without a star? Although I'm not qualified yet, let me temporarily take over this position now!"

The boy who inherited Hoshimi's blood smiled and shook his finger.

"If the king disagrees, I will quietly leave the city to follow you."

Asura King and Xingjian are both eligible to enter and leave Asura City at will.

Kartikeye was speechless by Peacock's words. Instead of letting the child sneak away, he might as well keep him by his side and stare at him. The two looked at each other for a moment, and he asked helplessly, "I only talk to the general about this matter." I mentioned it, but didn't tell Jia Luo, how did you know I was planning to go north?"

Peacock blinked and said triumphantly, "I'm the star of the future."

——Well, Xingjian really doesn't need to be "informed in person" about what Xingjian wants to know.

Kartikeye had no choice but to pick up the peacock, ride Rahu out of Renlitian, and rush towards the northern border guarded by the Yasha clan.
