Chapter 307

The emerald green spread like a tide.

Gu Chen led a group of scholars to conduct research at the forefront of this emerald tide.

This was the divine power of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, capable of nurturing vegetation on barren land.

In the boundless desert, this emerald green stretched backward, becoming more magnificent the further back it went, like a green ocean, already resembling a forest.

The more empty and dead a place was, the more conspicuous the vitality and color became.

In the desert with rolling heat waves in the distance, King Deshret and the Flower Goddess had already gazed upon the territory of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, seeing the vibrant life existing amidst the sand sea and wilderness.

The two gods continued forward.

Soon, scholars discovered their figures.

"Great Sage, come and take a look!" a scholar exclaimed.

Gu Chen heard the sound and looked over.

King Deshret was a monarch who ruled over a region; he carried an aura of nobility, shining like gold, making one subconsciously want to submit to the ground.

The aura of the Flower Goddess was ethereal, mysterious, and noble, as if she were a flower of an unknown species that one wanted to explore.

Even wearing a veil could not hide her stunning beauty.

Gu Chen felt slightly surprised, then bowed slightly to show respect: "I did not know of the arrival of distinguished guests, please forgive me for failing to welcome you from afar."

King Deshret was somewhat surprised after seeing Gu Chen: "You seem to possess powerful strength... yet you are not a god..."

"An interesting human." The Flower Goddess covered her face and laughed softly.

Her laughter was like a clear spring, like the singing of orioles and swallows.

King Deshret spoke: "Our trip here is to visit the Princess of Wisdom... People from afar are all singing of her wisdom, I wonder if it is true or false?"

Gu Chen nodded: "Naturally, it is true."

"That's good, then you shall lead us to visit this Princess of Wisdom." King Deshret nodded.

"Please!"

Gu Chen led the two gods along the emerald land toward the east.

Not long after, Gu Chen led the two gods to see Buer standing on high ground, gazing at the desert in the distance.

"Two distinguished guests, I failed to welcome you from afar." Buer spoke softly.

"Princess of Wisdom, I have long admired you."

King Deshret and the Flower Goddess nodded in greeting.

The Flower Goddess raised her hand, and flowers bloomed on the ground.

Flowers bloomed one after another, and items were held up by petals from the stamens.

They were spices, gold, and gems.

"Praise the Winged One, the monarch who rules over all nations on earth.

I am a sprite created by the Primordial, I am a flickering phantom, I am a glimmer of light flowing from the eyes of the Creator.

People from afar are all singing of your wisdom, I wonder if you can resolve the confusion that has troubled me for so long?

These spices, gold, and gems, I wish to gift them all to you as a thank-you gift, as a reward for solving my three riddles."

After the Flower Goddess spoke, King Deshret's expression became serious, his face solemn.

Gu Chen stood to the side without speaking, like a small transparent figure.

Buer glanced at the Flower Goddess, then at King Deshret, wisdom shining in her eyes. She sighed imperceptibly before saying: "Please speak."

The Flower Goddess stared at Buer and asked: "May I ask, what is cold like a dead object while alive, but can send warm breezes to people after it passes away?"

Buer said without hesitation:

"You are talking about the rose that fades in late spring, even if full of thorns, it cannot hide its fragrance.

The flowers are picked and made into rich perfume, while the stems are cut to serve as wicks for oil lamps.

Throughout history, how many lovers have been intoxicated by her, and the monarch of the red banners also admires her beauty.

But has the rose ever missed anyone? It just withers along with the new moon and morning dew."

The Flower Goddess's eyes flickered.

King Deshret was lost in thought.

【Shikanoin Heizou】: Is this the wisdom of the God of Wisdom? Her words are all hinting at the ending of the Flower Goddess! (Paimon: Shocked)

【Kaveh】: No, what does this answer mean? (Kaveh: Scratching head)

【Nilou】: I sort of understand, but not completely. (Collei: No response)

【Sangonomiya Kokomi】: From the Grass Dragon Apep, we have already learned that the Flower Goddess was the first to pass away, so this line 【the rose that fades in late spring】 is hinting that the Flower Goddess was the first to pass away! And 【the monarch of the red banners also admires her beauty】 and 【but has the rose ever missed anyone】 are hinting at the relationship between King Deshret and the Flower Goddess! King Deshret admires the charm of the Flower Goddess, but the heart of the Flower Goddess does not belong to anyone! Pay attention to the question raised by the Flower Goddess, it can send warm breezes after passing away, which shows that the Flower Goddess still shoulders the responsibility of the Seelie race, her main purpose is for humanity... I guess the Flower Goddess is playing a big game, but the Greater Lord has clearly seen through it. (Sangonomiya Kokomi: Thinking)
