Chapter 626

Gu Chen holds a very high status in the Court of Fontaine.

When he was just a young dragon, people knew he was definitely not simple.

And now that he has taken on a human form, there were rumors that he was the child of Focalors and Neuvillette, but such rumors were sternly refuted by Neuvillette.

To call Gu Chen the "Crown Prince" of Fontaine now would be a complete understatement of his status.

With Neuvillette around, Gu Chen is essentially riding on the heads of all of Fontaine, throwing his weight around.

Fontaine, on the street.

A small figure is sprinting, with Neuvillette following closely behind.

Focalors is at the end of the road, her pretty face taut, carrying a clothes hanger and walking toward them aggressively.

Little Gu Chen sprints to Focalors and stops, holding a few candies in his hands: "Sister, have some candy~"

"Did you go off to bully people again?!" Focalors said, hands on her hips, glaring at him.

How can the dignified Primordial Ancestor act like a little bully!

Fortunately, the trouble he caused wasn't major; in the eyes of adults, it was just a child's mischief, otherwise Focalors would be furious.

"I didn't!"

Little Gu Chen retorted with little conviction.

"Neuvillette, you must have seen it, right!" Focalors stared at Neuvillette and asked.

Neuvillette shook his head calmly: "I was negligent, I didn't see anything."

Little Gu Chen nodded with satisfaction, looking at Neuvillette as if to say: Good brother, you're the best.

"Come home with me!"

Focalors glared at little Gu Chen, reached out, grabbed his collar, and hauled him home.

Neuvillette opened his mouth, explained nothing, and followed behind with his hands behind his back.

He is only responsible for covering for the True King; as for what the True King did... he doesn't know, he didn't see, he has no idea.

Back home.

Unsurprisingly, little Gu Chen was severely lectured by Focalors.

Just after the lecture, Focalors felt helpless and amused by his obedient and sensible appearance.

"It goes in one ear and out the other every time! When will you ever grow up a little!"

"You are not allowed to sleep with me tonight!"

Focalors snorted coldly.

So what if he is the Primordial Ancestor?

Every time she says this, doesn't he still have to listen obediently?

"Sister, I know I was wrong." Little Gu Chen fell for it, quickly took out paper and pen to write a self-criticism, earnestly criticized himself, and then hugged Focalors' thigh, acting spoiled while admitting his mistake.

After carefully reading the little guy's self-criticism, Focalors nodded with satisfaction: "No next time, otherwise... hmph hmph."

"Mm-hmm." Little Gu Chen nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Night.

As usual.

Even though little Gu Chen has grown a bit, he still sleeps next to Focalors.

One night passed.

When Focalors woke up the next day, she was a bit surprised.

In the past, little Gu Chen would wake up early, push her, and call for sister to get up, but today this "human alarm clock" didn't work.

Surprised, Focalors looked down.

Little Gu Chen was sleeping in the crook of her arm, not moving at all.

"Little Chen?"

"Little Chen?"

There was no response after calling twice, and Focalors frowned slightly.

If it were a normal child, it would be understandable to wake up late after playing too hard yesterday, but this is a Primordial Ancestor infant!

He is a true dragon in the literal sense, with infinite energy; it is impossible for him to sleep for so long just because of simple fatigue.

Knock-knock—

The door was knocked.

Focalors looked down, reached out to pull up the shoulder strap that little Gu Chen had likely pulled down, and after confirming everything was fine, said: "Come in."

Neuvillette waited a few seconds before pushing the door open. Seeing little Gu Chen still in a deep sleep, he said with a grave expression: "No wonder he woke up so late today... It should be time; we can go to the location of the Primordial Sea and try."

Focalors nodded slightly and said: "Let's go."

Carrying little Gu Chen and following Neuvillette, they quickly crossed the seabed and arrived at the location of the Primordial Sea.

After becoming more familiar with the power of the Hydro Archon, Focalors was no longer worried about being dissolved.

Just as they touched the water of the Primordial Sea, they saw the Primordial Sea seem to boil, with the water consciously surging toward them.

After these Primordial Sea waters touched little Gu Chen's skin, they entered directly through his pores, gradually filling his limbs and bones.

Little Gu Chen floated up from Focalors' arms; he was lifted by the Primordial Sea water, and more and more seawater was entering his body like a backflow.

At the same time, the aura on little Gu Chen's body was also climbing slowly and steadily.

Little Gu Chen was growing because he was absorbing power, as if the time on his body had been accelerated countless times.

The fact that his originally short hair was growing visibly was proof of this.

Focalors felt a sense of melancholy as she watched little Gu Chen gradually grow, and she was taken aback by this herself.

What was wrong with her?

Logically speaking, it wouldn't matter even if the Primordial Sea water was completely absorbed by little Gu Chen.

Without the Primordial Sea, the people of Fontaine wouldn't be dissolved; shouldn't she feel even more excited and relaxed?

But why was the emotion in her heart so strange?

Focalors asked herself; she seemed somewhat unwilling to let little Gu Chen grow up.

Once he grows up, it means he is getting closer and closer to that towering Primordial True King.

Focalors has self-awareness; she doesn't dare to fantasize about such things, but having spent so much time together, she doesn't want things to suddenly become strange, nor does she want to have to be respectful to Gu Chen like Neuvillette.

"Sigh."

Focalors sighed.

"What is it?" Neuvillette looked over.

"Nothing." Focalors pulled herself together, shook her head, and muttered: "Maybe I'm just being a bit selfish."

Neuvillette's eyes flickered slightly; he didn't say anything on this topic, but instead said: "I wonder if the True King will descend this time...?"

His tone carried a hint of expectation.

It was like a child who had achieved results, longing for praise from an elder.

After a long time, the strange phenomenon on little Gu Chen's body stopped.

The entire Primordial Sea stopped boiling; half of the Primordial Sea had been absorbed by little Gu Chen.

If he looked like he was only two or three years old before, he now looked like he was nearly ten.

"... Strange." Neuvillette frowned.

"What is?" Focalors asked, puzzled.

Neuvillette straightened his expression and said: "I thought the Primordial Sea returning to the infant's body was a recovery, but facts prove that it is indeed as we both said: this is growth."

"I originally thought the True King infant was a way for the True King to be reborn, but looking at it now, it seems more like reincarnation."

"What do you mean by that? Isn't it all living a life again?" Focalors was confused.

"No, the meaning is different." Neuvillette shook his head and continued: "Generally speaking, rebirth carries memories, while reincarnation does not. Looking at the True King infant, it is a direct reincarnation without memories... With his current strength, he should be qualified to carry a portion of the True King's will, but the True King did not do so... Hmm, this further confirms my thought: the True King likely intends to let the infant grow on his own."

Focalors said: "Does that mean he won't grow into the Primordial Ancestor?"

Neuvillette pondered for two seconds before saying: "That is unclear. The old memories will inevitably be retrieved in the future, and the power will inevitably recover slowly. I guess a new True King will be formed."

Focalors said: "Does that mean he won't retrieve his memories in the short term, right?"

"Yes." Neuvillette nodded.

After setting her mind at ease, Focalors said with some worry: "Half of the Primordial Sea water is gone; if this is discovered..."

Before she could finish, Neuvillette shook his head and said: "No need to worry."

"Although the infant is a reincarnation, this does not mean he cannot use the power of his past life."
