”So that's how it is!”
As I listened, I felt a little touched … I had no parents or family since I was a child, and it was my master who raised me. Although he had always been kind to me, I had secretly envied those who had real parents. A blood relation is a mysterious power. I've never had it, so I've always yearned for it. He never thought that he would have such a connection in this life. He was truly fortunate!
I curiously asked, ”Are all the Goddess chosen from the direct line of descent?” Could it be that with this kind of Divine Seal, I can become the Heavenly Protector of the Kingdom? ”
Bai Lin replied, ”I've also heard the lord talk about it... He said that there was actually no difference in the selection of the Goddess, and that it was mainly due to the size of the inherited Celestial Fox Immortal power. ”
”Then how can we determine the size of the divine power?”
Bai Lin: ”The main point is looking at the size and clarity of the Divine Seal … Imprints like the Miss's were the most beautiful and biggest Divine Seal in the entire Bai Clan! So, miss, if you grew up as a girl, you would definitely be sent to the temple as a goddess! ”Fortunately, the old master and his wife had foresight …”
”Foresight? What? Previously, I did not have this imprint on my body? ”
Bai Lin nodded her head, ”Although Miss's Divine Seal had only appeared recently and didn't appear on her body when she was young, the Old Master and Madam had already made their decision just in case something happened. Actually, the children of the Bai Clan that were born with the Divine Seal were almost extinct … Many years ago, with the Bai Family inheriting more and more algebra, the bloodline of the Gods had already gradually weakened, the clan had not seen a child born with a Divine Seal for a long time! However, the position of Heavenly Protector Goddess could not be vacant, so the clan leader issued an order … A woman of your clan, no matter whether she is a descendant or a twelve-year-old, gifted or intelligent person, even if she does not have a Divine Seal, she will be sent to the temple as a candidate of a Divine Maiden. She will cultivate until she is twenty-five years old, and if she does not have a Divine Seal on her body, she will be sent back to the temple to live with her parents. And with the Miss's identity, if she had been raised by a girl in the past, she would definitely be chosen by the time she turned twelve. Even if she didn't have a Divine Seal on her body, she would still have to stay in the temple until she turned twenty! The old master's wife felt sorry for you, so she sent you to train and fight … Furthermore, a Divine Seal has appeared on your body! ”It can be seen just how wise the lord's wife's decision was all those years ago …”
I scratched my head. ”So, have those girls living in the temple any divine seals appeared on them?”
Bai Lin shook her head. ”Not yet.”
I said, ”Then doesn't that mean that there will be no more successors to the Goddess position?”
Bai Lin said, ”There's no need to worry about this young miss.” The current Goddess is your own aunt. She is young and strong, and should be able to serve for many years. When the time comes, a new child will be born.
I nodded and sighed, ”No wonder people called me 'General Bai Lian' back in the war! ”So it turns out that I've been raised by a boy ever since I was young. It seems that when they started fighting, they were pretty fierce …”
Bai Lin immediately nodded, her eyes filled with worship, ”Miss, you truly deserve to be called someone with a Divine Seal and inherited the divine bloodline! You have been out fighting with the Bai Clan since you were fourteen. You have fought in the war for many years, and you have been almost invincible. Your fame has spread throughout the countries, so who in the army or in the army doesn't respectfully call you 'General Bai Lian'? ”Even if those enemy bandits see our Bai Family Army and hear your name, General Bai Lian, they'll still be scared of you …”
Listening to Bai Lin's boasting, coupled with the fact that Ran Mo kept a low profile, I realized that this world is currently a world of chaos … In the past, the Xuanyuan Kingdom had unified the world, but now, it was divided into three parts. The three major powers, Nan Yu, Xi Ling and Cang Wu, and there were also many other smaller countries living in the middle of the gap.
The three great powers went to war with each other. War was frequent and the world was engulfed in smoke.
Two months ago, the Western Tomb Army attacked the western border of our country, and the Emperor sent the Bai Clan to fight. The Bai Clan was one of the main forces of the Nan Yu Country, and Bai Lian was the commander in charge of the 30,000 strong army. Half a month ago, the Bai Clan had already chased the Western Tomb Army out of the border. Bai Lian had left fifteen thousand people to guard the border while he personally led the other half to invade the Western Tomb Kingdom for an expedition.
Ran Mo was Bai Lian's personal bodyguard, and also one of her trusted aides. Therefore, she understood Bai Lian's plan of battle … It turned out that this General Bai Lian had planned to drive the Western Tomb Army out of the Gobi Desert in one go, and then build a border city on the Gobi Desert to add troops and horses, explaining the dangers of the Western Region once and for all.
She thought that her martial arts were unrivalled and wanted to capture Hu'er alive in today's battle, forcing the enemy to retreat. She didn't expect that she would make a mistake in the individual competition and suddenly fall under a horse, almost getting injured … It must have been because I was teleported back then that such an accident happened!
