Chapter 343 - The Role of the Chosen One (1) (2/2)
”What future?” I asked.
Hearing the Almighty One's words made me concerned. I was planning on having a normal and peaceful life with Alicia and my child after the war ends, but it looks like it will not end that easily.
”As the parents of my future self, I would like to request that you give the thing that I was not able to have when I was young, a happy childhood with a complete and loving family in a safe environment.” The Almighty One said.
”That goes without saying.” I replied in a heartbeat. ”I plan to raise my child with love and wisdom that I can bestow. I will keep him safe at all cost and I plan to grow old seeing him take my place on the throne.” He does not need to request such things of me. Of course I plan to love and protect my children with Alicia, even if the are not the Chosen One.
”Hahaha, I am happy to hear such things from you.” The Almighty One laughed heartily. ”My future self will be very blessed then, to have a loving and caring mother and a father that would guide and protect him. Please live a long life and have a loving family.”
”I plan to do so.” I replied to him.
”And I have another thing I wish to tell you before I give you the key fragment. This is the most important part.” The Almighty One said.
”What is it?” I asked.
Knowing that the Almighty One's story about his childhood was about to end, I felt excited getting the key fragment. After I get it, I will rendezvous with Dimitri that William had picked up, and Chris who was tasked to get the other key fragment. With all the key fragments combined, I will be able to pass the azure dragon to get to Alicia.
”It is about the role that the Chosen One should play.” The Almighty One replied to me. ”As I said to you earlier, I was not able to fulfill the prophecy I was given, hence my soul needed to be reborn. If the Chosen One is not able to fulfill his role once again, then my soul would be reborn once more, again and again until the prophecy has been fulfilled, hence a never ending cycle. I wish that my next reincarnation would be the last, and you and your wife would have to help my future self in this.”
”Do you mean the great prophecy that was foretold in Xing?” I asked and the Almighty One nodded.
”It will be a huge burden to bear, and I want you to prepare your child on whatever is to come.” The Almighty One said. ”The divine beasts chose you for a reason.”
”Do you mean that our familiars choosing us were not coincidences?” I asked with utter curiosity.
Snow and Tempest's body's are hosts of the souls of the divine beasts, hence their transformation into big and powerful animals.
”They play important roles as the Chosen One's guardians. They have also been good and helpful companions to me, and they will also do the same you as their masters and will pave my future self's future. And so, you need to know what exactly is the prophecy that was foretold.”
”If that is what needs to be done, then I will listen carefully.” I replied.
As the parents, me and Alicia will play a crucial role in our child's future. Prophecy or not, I am willing to do everything in my power to ensure that my child will have a good upbringing and bright future.
