“It’s a situation that even the goddess couldn’t predict. The bloodline of the one who insisted on the danger of the offering prepared for the descendants of Kaladia, the beloved human, has now been revealed.”
It was a calculation that Gideon was suspected of until he died poor. Who would have known that his descendants would be the villains who would disturb the country Kaladia loved and eventually bring about the destruction of the world?
“Didn’t even the goddess know about that?”
It was an ironic situation.
What happened became a national myth, and the person who was both a god and a pope for the future hid the offering, making it a story only in legends.
As time passed, no one came up with the idea of daring to look for it.
Until one crazy human, determined to seek revenge on his beloved family, searched through scriptures and records, eventually discovering the offering that Ardel had hidden.
Jacqueline asked Zero.
“It is said in the recorded scriptures of the legend that ‘knowledge that humans should not seek’ was kept. Mr. Zero, what exactly is the offering that appears to have been stolen by Kirie?”
“Knowledge.”
Zero covered his eyes with his short front paw and sighed deeply.
“Knowledge so profound that it is beyond the capacity of the human brain to contain. Records of everything in the world that anyone ruling this world as a god would have in their mind. Past, present, future… There is nothing missing.”
It’s like hiding a kind of supercomputer in something like a USB.
That’s how I understood it.
“In this world, if Kirie Warei had so much knowledge that even the human brain’s capacity was exceeded, the story must be about him cramming it in and not having his head explode.”
It was difficult to find it due to the passage of too much time, and it could also be considered a reason why it became a legend, with none of the people among the royal family bothering to look for it… There was also the problem of whether he could accept that knowledge as a vessel.
“If what Mr. Zero says is true… Kirie Warei, he can be considered an enemy, but he must be formidable. He created a monster born out of obsession.”
“Simply obtaining knowledge was only the beginning.”
“Excuse me?”
Zero made a horrifying expression. It was as if… you had seen ants start speaking like humans and walking upright.
“That knowledge allows one to look into the past, present, and future.”
“… Yes.”
“That means… if the one with the knowledge is not satisfied with the present, they can rewind time to the past and change the future.”
Static filled the air at Zero’s words. Everyone just murmured their mouths like goldfish, and no one said anything until the astonishment poured out like waves.
“Yes?!”
“Is that, is that even possible?”
“If a human tried such a thing with their body, wouldn’t it result in more than limbs being torn apart, but the size of the nails being ground down?”
Sheri, Jacqueline, Cloud, Jessica, and even my colleagues poured out all kinds of questions in response to this surprising and frightening news.
As Zero’s eyes trapped in the hell of questions became mischievous, I embraced Zero and gently calmed the surroundings.
“Stop, stop!”
「I feel dizzy….」
“We’ll take questions later, everyone. To sum it up… Kirie probably ‘failed’ ‘before’ and is now more appropriately called a ‘regressor’ who has come back through time. Do you all understand?”
“Yes.”
Everyone agreed with my clear summary. Ruth was more surprised that I alone remained calmly indifferent in the midst of the story that astonished everyone.
“But, Your Excellency, you don’t seem to be as confused as someone who knows everything.”
Embarrassed.
“Well, that’s because he came from another world….”
I read this world like a book, and Zero, who you cute little gods find adorable, adheres to the laws of the world based on plausibility. Even the higher beings of the divine realm created a new, awkward protagonist, turning this into a novel. How could I explain this?
“Stories like that should not enter the minds of the people here.”
Thinking that way, Kirie seemed even more insane. How did he think of finding the offering of the gods? Even knowing that, how could he survive, if not perfectly, at least… alive?
Jacqueline answered my curiosity.
“It happened a few generations ago, but there was a case recorded in the royal archives of a woman who was a royal illegitimate child falling in love with someone from the Warei family.”
“What does that mean?”
「It means that the condition for receiving the gods’ offering is bloodline. Although the bloodline of Kaladia has been diluted over the years and mixed with the blood of the Warei family that Ardel hated endlessly… Still, it must have been possible because the qualification was met.」
Or maybe, in the place where he touched the gods’ knowledge, he would have been struck by lightning or his heart would have exploded.
Zero’s added words were the most eerie.
I recalled Kirie’s actions while controlling Siena’s body.
“…He doesn’t seem normal.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
