Chapter 145: 13.1 The Celestial Kingdom in the clouds

When A-Xuan opened his eyes, he was in the middle of a city. He looked around, confused. He looked up and couldn’t see a blue sky. There were only white clouds. A-Xuan felt a bad presentiment. He received information and stared around wide-eyed.

Is he out of his mind? He started hyperventilating. He took deep breaths to calm his erratic heartbeat. How could Kyrios take such a massive gamble? What if he fails? A-Xuan closed his eyes for a long time.

When he opened them again, they flashed in determination. I’ll bring you back, I promise. He used the system to receive information about this world.

The body was a 1000-year-old man, known as Jian. Jian was born in the Celestial Kingdom. The Celestial Kingdom was the place where all the creators of worlds lived. His father Zheng, was known in the entire kingdom as the most gifted physician.

Thanks to his high position, he could find a place as a servant in the Orion palace for him. The Orion palace belonged to Kyrios, the Supreme God of the Celestial Kingdom. He was the most powerful god. Moreover, was feared by every other god, including his brother Fyo.

Fyo had always been jealous of his big brother, and waited a long time for an opportunity to get rid of him. He had a spy in his Orion palace called Weilong.

One day, while Kyrios was checking the progression of one of the worlds he had created, he fell in love with a human called A-Xuan. He would spend long hours watching him.

He even broke one of the fundamental rules of creators, by setting foot in a world he created. Kyrios put on an empty shell to look at A-Xuan from up close. He only walked past him and didn’t make any contact. Weilong found out and told Fyo everything.

Quickly, the whole Celestial Kingdom found out that the cold and unfeeling Supreme God had fallen for a human. They were shocked, but even if Kyrios had broken a cardinal rule, no one dared to say anything since he was the most powerful god.

Fyo decided to use that opportunity to get rid of Kyrios for good. After him, he was the strongest, so he knew no god would dare speak again. He made a deal with the physician Zheng. He agreed to give him riches if he created a poison that could weaken a mighty god.

Zheng had collected the rare flower Viola Cryana, which grew every hundred millennia, and turned it into a poison. He used his son who worked at the Orion palace to smuggle the poison. He asked him to put it in Kyrios’s glass, once Fyo comes to the palace.

He lied and said that Fyo was worried about his brother’s health and that he refused to see a physician, so he had to cure him secretly. Fyo went to see his brother and pretended that he wanted to know more about the person he loved.

For the first time, Kyrios opened up to his brother, and they drank wine together. Kyrios blacked out, and Fyo used that opportunity to split his soul. He tossed the soul-flakes in all the words he created and made sure he would always live in luxury, but be unhappy.

He bonded the human he loved A-Xuan, to a system called CF, and he was forced to transmigrate from world to world as cannon fodder. He always had a miserable life and died the way he lived. Jian felt guilty about Kyrios and A-Xuan’s fate and decided to tell all the other gods.

His father caught him before he could and killed him. Fyo was impressed that he was willing to kill his son to protect him and made sure that he would have the best life possible.

When A-Xuan opened his eyes, they were cold and ruthless. Kyrios used all the power he had, to bring him back to the past. This is a week before Kyrios fell in love with him. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

He believes in their love so much, he is certain he’ll fall in love with him and be able to stop everything that took place. The only way to bring Kyrios’ consciousness back, is if he falls in love with him. Only then will the Kyrios with whom he spent 12 lives be back.

If he fails and all the events that happened happen again, he’ll be back to the beginning. He’ll spend 20 000 years again as cannon fodder until Kyrios frees him again. He’ll have to start all over that’s why he can’t fail. He checked CF and ran to the Orion palace.

This is his first day as a servant. When he arrived, two guards were blocking the gate of a gigantic palace at the top of hundreds of stairs. A-Xuan said:

"I’m the new servant, A-Xuan."

One of the guards looked at his hand and an interface appeared. He tapped on it and when he saw his name, they moved the spears to let him through. A-Xuan ran in. He entered the large place, then he used CF to know where Weilong was.

Weilong is the head butler and had to train him. He ran to the throne room and after one of the guards checked his identity again, he entered. It was a large hall, beautifully decored, and at the head of it was a throne with a man sitting on it.

He was wearing black robes and his long dark hair was cascading on his shoulders. His eyes were closed. His chin rested on one of his hands and he was tapping his fingers on the throne’s arm.

Weilong turned around and looked at A-Xuan furiously. This is his first day and he is late. A-Xuan stood before him and said apologetically:

"Sorry, I’m late."

Weilong was about to scold him, but when he heard a sound coming from the throne, he immediately knelt. A-Xuan looked at Kyrios.

He looked into his familiar grey eyes, and he looked back. He had a chiseled jawline with almond-shaped eyes. His nose was straight, and he had full red lips. He felt a lump in his throat and could not look away. Kyrios tilted his head, looking at him curiously.

He had never seen the youth before today. He scanned him. The youth had long dark hair and green peach blossom eyes. He had thin eyebrows and an aquiline nose with high cheekbones. His skin was fair and glowy. His full lips were red as blood and incredibly eye-catching.

A-Xuan woke up from his trance when Weilong gave him a nudge. He immediately knelt and looked down. Kyrios smiled, but it quickly disappeared, as though it had never been there. He ordered:

"Rise."

They both stood up and looked down.

"Prepare me a bath."

Weilong bowed and said:

"Yes, Supreme God."

"Not you, your apprentice."

A-Xuan looked up and said:

"Yes Supreme God."

He looked at Kyrios one last time, before leaving for his chambers.

When he was gone, Kyrios asked:

"Who is he?"

"He is A-Xuan, physician Zheng’s son."

Kyrios nodded.

"Have the maid bring out my clothes for the arena."

He finds the weekly battle in the Arena boring, but as the Supreme God, he has to be there. The only thing that makes him feel anything is building words. Not even his brother does.

A-Xuan turned off the water when the gold bathtub was full. He looked around the bathroom, shaking his head. He always thought that his husband was rich and powerful in every world they met, but turns out he wasn’t.

It was nothing compared to his real life. After pouring liquid soap, he put essential oil and lavender in the water. He took a breath before leaving.

He is stressed, but he has to get himself back together, or he won’t be able to stop all of this from happening. Kyrios needs him, or he wouldn’t have done that. He won’t fail.
