Chapter 1003: Second Divine Descent

Viola suddenly looked up at Lei En, her eyes flashing with surprise and excitement, and a hint of disbelief.

Half-elves are a hybrid of humans and elves, already extremely rare, and a Half-elf almost never produces offspring.

Almost, but not absolute.

A Half-elf can still become pregnant, but the probability is close to zero.

Viola has been with Lei En for over ten years, the number of times they've made love so many she can't even count, never using contraception, yet her belly has never shown any sign. This has become a worry of hers; she has repeatedly appealed to the Longhaired Lady, but the Longhaired Lady said she is powerless, that conception is beyond her clerical duties and she does not possess such a Divine Technique.

She had already given up, but today, seeing Cathy marry while pregnant, the scene stirred her emotions, so she felt a strong envy that she couldn't hide.

"Really?" Viola's voice trembled slightly.

Lei En wrapped his arm around her slender waist and laughed, "Did you forget that I know the Wish Spell?"

"I know!"

Viola's eyes lit up, having grasped Lei En's intention, but then she grew concerned, "Half-elves find conception difficult; if you use the Wish Spell to make me pregnant, that contravenes the Life Law and will surely demand a great price. Isn't it too dangerous?"

"No need to worry, I can endure it," Lei En said with a relaxed expression.

If a Half-elf were completely incapable of pregnancy, he might hesitate, but as long as the probability isn't zero, it's much safer.

The former creates something from nothing, forcibly overturning the Natural Law.

The latter merely raises the probability, so the price isn't as dreadful.

Lei En estimates this to be more difficult than reselecting the Element of a soul contract, and less than lifting a newborn's Blood Soul Curse; it should cost about the same as simulating a Ten-ring Spell.

Using the Nine Ring Wish Technique to cast a Ten-ring Spell, even a Holy Soul Wizard could not withstand it.

But for him it's no problem.

The Pixel World stores a large batch of Soul Diamonds, and the Soul Power Reservoir is full; not to mention casting a Ten-ring Spell once, even three or four times would be easy.

Viola, unaware of Lei En's confidence, hesitated a moment before shaking her head, "It's too dangerous. I'd rather have no child than see you get hurt. If something happened to you..." she dared not think further.

If Lei En were gone, what meaning would having a child hold for her?

"Rest assured."

Lei En placed a gentle kiss on the Half-elf's forehead, "If I weren't sure, I wouldn't tell you. Actually, I also want a child with you, preferably a son."

"Son..." Viola's eyes were full of anticipation.

She naturally understood Lei En's meaning, also hoping for a son, but found it hard to voice, never expecting Lei En to bring it up himself.

Her son would become Lei En's heir!

Although, given Lei En's power and age, he doesn't need an heir, others do.

Countless followers attached to Lei En's faction, the great figures who gained power, status, and wealth through him, all need Lei En to have a clear heir, so that if Lei En meets an accident, everything he built can continue.

Most importantly, Lei En naming an heir signals an attitude that his position in his eyes is unshakable.

Viola felt moved, and just as she was about to speak, Lei En hoisted her in a sideways embrace.

A teleportation portal opened.

The Half-elf asked softly, "Where are we going?"

"He Palace," Lei En replied with a smile.

Marlinge Manor is crowded and chaotic tonight, unsuitable for such matters; to bear a son they need a quiet, safe place that befits the future child's status, and nothing is more suitable than He Palace.

Lei En carried the Half-elf out of the portal; this is his residence in He Palace, but he did not enter the bedroom, instead ascending to the Lotus Viewing Tower, which offers the best view in He Palace.

On the fifth floor's top level lies a luxurious lounge called the Lotus Viewing Terrace, prepared especially for the Consul. In midsummer, from the expansive balcony, under the starry sky, the entire lake is covered with verdant lotus leaves, with vast lotus blossoms in full bloom, a breathtaking sight.

His gaze swept over the lake; not far away stood the magnificent Rike Palace.

The Golden Throne lies within Rike Palace.

Lei En withdrew his gaze and gently placed the stunning Half-elf onto the large bed; her complexion flushed, her eyes gazed at Lei En dazedly, as if about to spill water.

"I'm coming."

The two quickly became frank with each other.

Even though Lei En has touched her countless times, each skin-to-skin contact still sparks his most primal impulse, like his first experience ten years ago, making his heart race uncontrollably, his breathing quicken, never growing weary, always irresistible.

In the warm early-summer breeze, Lei En and Viola merged as one.

The Lotus Viewing Terrace is filled with endless spring light.

Viola, immersed in wave after wave of blissful pleasure, still did not forget the matter; she lightly parted her red lips, uttering broken murmurs, "Lei En... don't, don't forget the Wish..."

"I know."

Lei En slightly slowed his pace, took several deep breaths, then shouted loudly, "I wish that Viola Silverleaf becomes pregnant tonight, bearing the bloodline of Ryan Augustus, and that it be a boy!"

The resonant voice echoed across the Lotus Viewing Terrace.

However, Lei En had prearranged a Soundproof Force Field, so the sound could not escape; outside, a squad of Thundercast Celestial Soldiers guarded, forbidding anyone from approaching.

As the words fell, the phone's battery plummeted wildly.

Lei En was prepared, immediately using the Soul Power Reservoir to replenish the charge; in a few seconds about five hundred units were consumed, then it stopped.

A subtle magical ripple formed, then vanished instantly.

Viola snapped out of her trance, eyes wide as she surveyed the surroundings, finding nothing had occurred; fortunately Lei En was unharmed, still moving in and out of her body. Her gaze was a little dazed as she panted, "Did the Wish Spell fail?"

"It succeeded," Lei En replied with a smile.

"Huh?"

Lei En leaned down, embracing the Half-elf's beautiful torso, and whispered beside her pointed ear, "My wish is that you become pregnant tonight, but I didn't specify the exact moment, so we must labor through the night, striving until dawn."

Viola's flushed face nodded, "Hmm..."

Lei En then buried himself in diligent effort.

With his stamina, not even an entire night—three days and three nights—would be a problem, but Viola does not have such a strong physique; a Ten Thousand Spirits Wizard without a Main Soul is fragile, so he must be extremely careful—if he exerts too much force, she would meet a tragic end.

The moon drifted across the sky, soon reaching deep night.

Lei En had already released it several times, still radiant, while Viola was beginning to run out of stamina.

"Do you want to rest for a moment?" Lei En asked concernedly.

"No."

Viola shook her head, her golden long hair rippling in a wave; she could not waste a single minute while bearing a son. She unhesitatingly activated her soul power, and a phantom of an angel appeared, three pairs of broad white wings unfurling behind it, her smooth skin turning pure gold, exuding a holy aura.

Lei En admired the sacred, untouchable Half-elf, nodded and said, "Blazing Heaven Divine Envoy…"

Viola ascended to Legendary High-rank last year.

She is the Pope of the Beauty and Goodness Church and also the Chosen One of Longhaired Lady; her strength could not be too weak, so Longhaired Lady has tirelessly helped her improve over the years, often granting blessings and thoughtfully preparing many Angel Souls for her.

This Blazing Heaven Divine Envoy is one of them, and the most powerful angel; Viola made it her Main Soul.

The Blazing Heaven Divine Envoy's possession granted Viola great power.

The fatigue from the midnight battle vanished, her stamina returned to its peak, and Viola felt she had inexhaustible energy, able to duel Lei En for three hundred rounds.

"Come on!"

"Let's continue, don't waste time."

She shoved Lei En down in one motion, leapt up impatiently, looking as if to drain Lei En completely.

Lei En completely lay back, letting her have her way, fully enjoying it.

The Main Soul's possession continuously drains soul power; after midnight, Viola fought for several hours and began to falter, and Lei En instinctively reached for a Soul Diamond to replenish her, but stopped in time. Viola is Longhaired Lady's Divine Chosen, and the Soul Diamond is one of her greatest secrets; if Viola learned of it, it would be almost impossible to hide from Longhaired Lady.

A deity learning of the Soul Diamond's existence could invite massive trouble.

Therefore, Lei En did not use the Soul Diamond to boost Viola's power, feeling somewhat guilty; fortunately she has a deity's support, so her strength grows very quickly.

At least before ascending to Holy Soul Wizard, Viola will not encounter any bottleneck.

Viola produced several vials of soul‑restoring elixirs, each worth over a thousand Gold Shields, and drank them all in one go.

She felt she could act again.

Before dawn, Lei En, while diligently creating people, glanced at the sky; less than an hour remained until daybreak. She herself was fine, but Viola's face showed some fatigue. Even with the Blazing Heaven Divine Envoy's possession, her stamina was fine, but her spirit inevitably waned.

"Almost over, hold on," Lei En comforted.

"Hmm…"

Viola gave a gentle nod.

Suddenly, Lei En sensed a massive aura descending from the heavens, instantly falling onto Lotus Viewing Terrace and entering Viola's body. In an instant, the Half-elf's hair grew to the waist, turning fiery red like a dancing flame, the lake‑blue eyes became golden, like a pool of molten gold.

Her gaze became very unfamiliar, yet somewhat familiar.

Lei En shivered.

A deity descended, and Longhaired Lady possessed Viola!

The last time was ten years ago, when he performed a prayer ceremony with Viola; back then he was only a Level Two Wizard, and nearly embarrassed himself before the deity's descent.

Ten years have passed, and now he is a Level Twenty-three Holy Soul Wizard.

Lei En maintained his pace, his face showing respectful yet unflinching demeanor, and nodded, "I have met Longhaired Lady."

"Um…"

Viola let out a moan, her voice completely different from before.

Her eyes were half‑open, clearly thoroughly enjoying it.

After a long while, He finally said, "Lei En, your growth rate far exceeds my expectations; in just ten years you have reached such heights, I am amazed." Viola's face showed some regret, sighing, "If I had known ten years ago you would be so outstanding, I would have blessed you to become my Chosen One."

Lei En smiled inwardly; even a deity can regret.

"Lady, Viola and I are one; she is your Chosen One, and I will also contribute to your church," Lei En said earnestly.

Phonographs and Cameras are ubiquitous in the Empire and have spread to other human nations.

These two inventions greatly amplified Longhaired Lady's divine power.

"I see all your contributions," Viola nodded, clearly pleased, "so my descent today is to bless you and Viola."

"What blessing?"

Lei En was startled in his heart; he thought this deity only coveted his body.

The last time Longhaired Lady descended, she gave him a "Fuxinyuan Demon Soul Demon Soul Demon Soul" magic soul; the attached Truth Willpower was his first legendary Element, extremely powerful and useful, almost indispensable in every battle, and he earned countless merits in peacetime.

Could He be giving him another demon soul?

Lei En couldn't help but feel some anticipation; when a deity acts, it must be extraordinary.

However, after Longhaired Lady finished speaking, she fell silent, eyes half‑closed, enjoying Lei En's service. Lei En dared not ask, and could only bury himself in hard work.

It must be said, the feeling is still quite thrilling.

Looking across the history of the Ai Lun E Si world, few mortals have such honor; the taste of mortals and deities differs greatly, and this is already twice!

Moreover, Longhaired Lady Freya is rumored to be the most beautiful goddess of the heavens.

Among the servants beneath Her skirt are many deities.

Lei En couldn't help thinking, is His true form really that beautiful? Hmm… the possession seems a bit lacking in flavor, when will there be a chance to ascend to His true form? A deity in a mortal body—has anyone ever achieved such a feat?

Longhaired Lady seemed to sense Lei En's thoughts, her gaze drifting over.

"What are you thinking?"

Lei En startled, quickly pushed those chaotic thoughts aside, and respectfully replied, "I am thinking about the Lady's blessing."

"Is that so?" Longhaired Lady clearly doubted.

He gave a meaningfully long smile, "Mortal, your audacity is great; who gave you the courage to blaspheme a deity face‑to‑face?"

"Blasphemy…"

Lei En couldn't help to retort in his mind, "Is what I'm doing now not blasphemy?"

But he dared not say it aloud, and his actions paused.

"Don't stop." Longhaired Lady patted Lei En's arm, was silent for a few seconds, then said, "If you are willing to serve me and become my Chosen One, I don't mind granting your wish. My divine realm is always open to you."

Lei En was stunned; this means…

Damn!

He finally learned how intensely a deity craves divine power, and it even made the Longhaired Lady willing to submit to a mortal.

What He opened was not the Divine Realm, but His thigh.

Lei En felt somewhat tempted, but instantly rejected it in his mind. As a mere mortal entering the Divine Realm, he would merely be at the deity's mercy, and the deity's true form could not easily leave the Divine Realm; the gap between deity and mortal is destined to be beyond his reach.

Most importantly, God of Magic VijesCui would never agree to my changing faith, becoming the Longhaired Lady's Chosen One.
