It was pitch black all around him. He felt as if he was bound by layers of silk, unable to move, and breathing seemed to be difficult.

He struggled subconsciously and passed through layers of barriers before finally seeing the light.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a silver-haired youth looking at her gently.

  "You are…?" He asked blankly.

His mind was blank and he couldn't remember anything, but Shao Ci could subconsciously feel that his current body was a little strange. It seemed to be a size smaller than before...

The silver-haired Pope looked at the black-haired youth who was staring blankly at him in the crystal coffin. He gently reached out and brushed away the sweat on his forehead. He leaned over to hold his hand and gently kissed it." I am your only…lover."

"Lover?" The other party's eyes widened in shock, as if he couldn't believe it, but he frowned slightly. He wanted to explain himself, but he couldn't say anything.

Yeah, well, that's because he already died once. His current body, which was constructed from divine power, only looked like a teenager, and he had forgotten everything about the past.

The silver-haired Pope's expression did not change at all. He only smiled slightly." Yes, you forgot. But it doesn't matter. I'll always be by your side." His ice-blue eyes flickered for a moment before he whispered," You can…call me Celia."

It had been a long time since he had said this name, and it had been a long time since anyone had said it. He thought he wouldn't let anyone know. But now, he had found someone who could say that name.

In the distant past, he was the heir to the kingdom that everyone expected, but he was born without any feelings, and finally even led to the destruction of the whole country.

It turned out that he was actually a part of God, so he was not like an ordinary person…Rather, he was God's 'container', and his body only existed for the gods to descend into this world.

The moment he awakened, he needed a large amount of divine power to engulf the entire capital. By the time he woke up, there was no life around him.

But even so, it didn't matter. All this made no difference to him, who had no feelings at all.

  After that, he was taken away by the people of the Divine Hall and brought to the Sacred Capital.

Even if he was a clone of a god, he had his own will, but even he himself had never cared about this. After all, he almost does not have any feelings, even if he is a container and lives, it does not matter.

  But after that, things changed.

It turned out that God had another avatar in this world, and that avatar, named Wendell, had feelings that he did not have. It was more like an independent person.

  And beside him, there was a soul from another world.

Perhaps others would not notice, but to him, that person was as bright as sunlight in the night, almost piercing his eyes.

He could even sense Wendell's feelings after meeting him. He was even infected by Wendell's feelings and naturally developed feelings for the soul of that foreign world.

He has his will and his feelings, but he doesn't enjoy them. Compared to other emotions, the first thing he felt was jealousy.

  Yeah, jealous.

He was jealous of Wendell, jealous that he was so different from himself, jealous that he could stay by Shao Ci's side from the beginning, jealous that he could have such a good relationship with Shao Ci, jealous of everything about Wendell.

Originally, as God's vessel in the world, only he was enough, right?

He really wanted to see what it would feel like to be pushed into the abyss by someone so happy.

Just like that, on that day, he used God's power to temporarily control Wendell's body and control him to kill the former Pope. He also deliberately let Wendell escape from Saint Capital. Otherwise, Wendell would not have been able to escape under his power.

However, after doing so much, Shao Ci could not belong to him, much less rely on him like he relied on Wendell.

  He's going crazy about it.

And then, finally, the moment came. They, as doppelgangers, ought to return to God's body.

Wendell knew about this long ago, so he was naturally unwilling. However, he was unable to resist and was devoured by that god.

No one knew better than him about that god's personality. It was completely different from his appearance. He was an extremely cold and indifferent existence. When he realized that Shao Ci would pose a threat to him, he would definitely kill him.

That was why he had tampered with Shao Ci before that to ensure that Shao Ci could be revived here with the help of divine power.

Things went exactly as he thought. Celia no longer wanted to think about what would happen in the future. At least for now, he could get what he wanted.

"But I…" The black-haired youth's face was pale. He lay in an ice coffin filled with flowers condensed from divine power and looked at him blankly."I can't remember anything…"

"It doesn't matter." "I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything."

It doesn't matter if you forget everything, can't use magic, can't eat or bathe, can't even walk.

  As long as she relied on him, she only needed to watch him alone.

  ... rely more on him.

　　——

  The people of Shengdu had been under a strong impact recently.

Although it was indeed touching to say that the Hero had risked his serious injuries to seal the Demon King, everyone's opinion of him had risen by an unknown amount. But the Pope and the Brave were too close!

Not only did he say that he wanted to heal the Hero who had lost his memory and live together, but he had also been bumped into many times by people who saw the Pope taking care of the Hero like he was coaxing a child. He even personally fed the Hero. Some people even saw him carrying the Hero for a walk in the garden.

The Pope's mysterious and indifferent image had disappeared without a trace!

Even if someone wanted to help, they were chased away by the Pope, who said that he had to take care of the hero himself. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to recover his memory (of course, in fact, he wanted to prevent Shao Ci from remembering what happened before).

The people were sitting in the hall, discussing how to eliminate hidden monsters. Most of them were bishops who had come from afar to report the situation. They had only been here for a few days, and the one sitting at the very end was naturally the Pope.

Although the Pope appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, no one dared to belittle him. Those who could come here knew more or less.

All of a sudden, a youth who looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old appeared beside him. He was only wearing a loose shirt, and one could vaguely see his pair of thin white legs. He threw himself into the Pope's arms in front of everyone.

The others were stunned. Someone actually barged in on such a formal occasion. Was there no one to stop him? His holiness must be furious.

After all, the Pope was famous for his coldness. Moreover, his entire body was filled with a holy and noble aura, which made others feel as if they were defiled by looking at him. However, the youth who had pounced on him had grass on his hair. Just thinking about it, one knew that his body was not clean.

Unexpectedly, completely different from them, the silver-haired Pope had a natural appearance, and his expression was even gentler than before.

"How did you get here?" The Pope gently reached out to stroke the boy's black hair and plucked the grass from his head. He seemed to be very familiar with him."Didn't I say not to run around? You went to play in the garden again. Look, your clothes are dirty."

"I'm, I'm sorry…" The youth apologized softly. His black eyes looked at the silver-haired pope with a hint of pleading."I'm alone…so bored…I want to stay with Celia…"

"And this time, he ran out without proper clothes. If this happens again, he won't be allowed to eat next time." The Pope's voice was a little harsher this time, but one could still hear the gentleness hidden in it. Obviously, he didn't really blame the other party. He even took the initiative to hold the youth in his arms.

"Woo…" The young man said with some grievance,"Celia…I'm so hungry…"

"I knew you were here to find me to eat." The Pope picked up the snacks on the table and patiently fed them to the youth. He then looked at the others indifferently and said,"Don't worry about this. Let's continue our discussion."

The youth ate the snacks the Pope had sent over while he grabbed the Pope's long silver hair and played with it.

  The others were speechless. How can I not care?

However, since the Pope had said so, what else could they do? They could only suppress their curiosity and pretend to be calm as they continued discussing the previous matter.

Now, almost everyone was absent, not to mention that the youth kept pestering the Pope. Soon, this meeting ended hastily.

After the Pope carried the youth away, everyone exchanged looks. A bishop who had been waiting in the Holy Capital sighed and said seriously,"I think you are all very curious. In fact, that person is Lord Braveheart."

"What?!" Everyone was stunned. The most they could think of was that the young man was the new Holy Son (even if they wanted to imagine that the young man was the illegitimate son of the Pope, his age would not match at all). In the end, they actually said that the young man was the legendary hero who saved this world?

This was even more shocking than the fact that he was the Pope's illegitimate child. The hero they imagined was a heroic man. Even if he used magic, he should be a mage who looked mysterious.

Moreover, this age simply did not match! Although he looked cute, he didn't look like a hero!

"Sigh." The bishop sighed." Lord Hero was heavily injured in the battle with the Demon King, and his original body can no longer be used. Only by relying on divine power to rebuild a body…and Lord Hero has lost his memory, so he's like a child."

"So that's how it is?" Everyone could not help but feel guilty. They had actually used such thoughts to guess the identity of the Hero. It was simply a form of blasphemy against the Hero.

After learning of the other party's identity, the Pope's actions felt extremely normal. If it were them, they would definitely do the same.

After returning to the bedroom, Shao Ci immediately lay down on the soft carpet and grabbed the Pope Scepter placed beside him to play with it.

There was no carpet on the ground. After considering Shao Ci's situation, Siria directly laid a carpet on most of the ground in Shengdu. In any case, nothing was as important as Shao Ci.

Cilia walked over and sat beside him. She gently caressed his soft hair and said gently," You're really disobedient this time. Didn't you say you'd stay here and wait for me to come back?"

Shao Ci's body stiffened. He remembered how the other party punished him for disobedience in the past. He quickly sat up and looked at Celia with tears in his eyes." I'm too bored staying here alone, so I went out to look for you."

He leaned over and hugged Celia's neck." Don't be angry. I won't do this next time."

"Moreover, last time you pestered the servant to eat. I haven't forgotten about this."

  "Woah…I was just hungry…"

"If you apologize, should you show some sincerity?" "We're lovers, aren't we?"

" Woo…Alright…" The black-haired youth let go of his hand. His fair and delicate cheeks instantly turned red. He bit his lower lip lightly, as if he was ashamed. After a few moments, he raised his head and kissed Celia's lips.

Siria closed his eyes and welcomed Shao Ci's kiss happily. At the same time, he naturally reached out and hugged Shao Ci in his arms.

  Ah, if only this life could last longer.

  But…that moment was about to come.

  His hands involuntarily hugged each other tightly.

In winter, the Holy City was filled with white, looking even more holy and inviolable.

After the demon king was sealed, the demons retreated to the demon world on the other side, and the demons seemed to have disappeared. A large amount of demonic Qi disappeared from the continent, and the entire continent seemed to be rekindling its vitality.

The hero who saved this continent was naturally that brave man. In an instant, Hero's reputation reached its peak, and he had countless fanatical fans. Even the past was brought up one by one.

The fact that the Hero was once an orphan born in the slums was naturally discovered, and later on, the fact that he participated in the Hero Selection Ceremony as a follower but was accidentally selected was also revealed.

This experience that was comparable to Legend's surprised everyone. Then, they felt that it was very natural. He was a hero chosen by God. If he was only a noble, it would be a little too ordinary.

However, it was said that the Hero himself had been seriously injured after sealing the Demon King. He had not fully recovered yet and was still recuperating in the Holy City.

　　…………

　　……

On the road of Saint Capital, a carriage pulled by a unicorn was moving. There were a few youths sitting inside. They were all people who were sent to the temple because they were born with extremely strong affinity for light elements. After many tests, they were sent to the Holy Capital and could hold important positions in the future.

" I wonder if we'll be able to meet Lord Hero this time." a red-haired youth said excitedly.

Obviously, the Hero who sealed the Demon King naturally became an idol in these people's hearts.

Another person was also very excited." I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I really want to see Lord Hero as soon as possible. I wonder what Lord Hero looks like."

" I heard that Lord Hero was born in a slum. How impressive. I once visited the slum for Lord Hero. It's really scary inside…I can't imagine how Lord Hero came out of that place."

"Isn't that why you're a brave man? He must be a perfect man!"

The few youths started discussing intensely. Only the youth sitting at the very edge of the carriage remained silent. He had short silver hair and golden eyes. He looked at the scenery outside the window expressionlessly, as if nothing could make his heart surge.

The others couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. They whispered," Who is this guy? Why does he look so cold?"

" His name seems to be Lance. I don't think he was sent by other temples. I've never heard of him before."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were filled with contempt. After all, such an unknown person could easily make people think of things like backdoor connections. Naturally, he was different from people trained in the temple.

The youth named Lance didn't care about their undisguised conversation at all. His golden eyes were as cold as ice.

Amidst the discussions, the carriage had already arrived at its destination. Lance, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.

"Forget about me." He said calmly, his voice so pleasant that it instantly made people fall in love with it." You forgot about meeting me."

Everyone wanted to retort, but they were immersed in that wonderful voice. By the time they reacted, the silver-haired youth had already disappeared.

"That guy just now…eh?" The speaker himself was stunned."Did we just meet someone?"

"I don't think so. Weren't we the only ones in the car?" Another person spoke.

"Right?" The other person nodded, feeling as if he had overlooked something, but it should be something unimportant, so he directly threw it behind him.

　　…………

　　……

  After abandoning that group of people, the youth walked around the Holy City.

  He seemed to already know where his destination was and walked very leisurely.

Clearly, a person wearing such clothes should be an extremely eye-catching existence in Saint City, but passers-by would subconsciously ignore him after hearing a burst of singing. No one could actually discover his existence.

Soon, they arrived at their destination. There were complicated patterns of magic arrays on the ground, and trespassing would trigger an alarm.

Lance walked into it as if he didn't sense anything, and the magic array didn't resist him at all.

  He found his man.

Under the rare winter sunlight, the black-haired youth was sitting on the steps, gently fiddling with the pool water in front of him.

This was where the Sacred Pool of the Sacred Capital was located. This place could be said to be a forbidden area. Without the Pope's permission, no one could enter at will.

However, this black-haired youth was an exception. He could even casually touch the clear holy water in the holy pool like he was playing with water.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Shao Ci turned around and saw the silver-haired youth. He rarely saw strangers." Who are you?"

  "Long time no see." the silver-haired youth said softly as he slowly approached.

His voice was completely different from the voice of an ordinary person. It seemed to carry a strange rhythm that made people subconsciously fall in love with it.

Shao Ci was a little wary, but he did not retreat. He felt that the person in front of him was indeed familiar to him." You know me?"

"Yes." The silver-haired youth said,"Of course I know you. I will never forget you in my life, but you…forgot everything."

"You and I…what happened?" Although the other party's voice was very cold, Shao Ci felt that he seemed a little sad.

"A lot has happened." The silver-haired youth seemed unwilling to mention it, but instead stared at Shao Ci with his golden eyes." Now is not the time to say it." Let me just ask you, do you really think this is okay? Don't you want to regain your memories?"

  "Of course I want to." Shao Ci whispered.

Although he didn't think Celia would lie to him, his lack of memory left him confused about what had happened in his past.

Although life seemed to be good now, he always felt that he had forgotten something very important. Every time he asked Celia, he would only ask him not to worry.

"That's good." Then he pulled his hand out and said,"Come on." You shouldn't be here right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pushed hard. Shao Ci fell into the pool behind him unexpectedly.

Shao Ci struggled with difficulty. Damn it, he didn't know how to swim at all. A large amount of water poured into his mouth, and his body slowly sank. Shao Ci couldn't help but think in his heart, was he going to drown here?

  Was that youth trying to kill him…

In the next moment, that person also jumped into the water. Shao Ci looked up and saw a figure with long silver hair appear in front of him. The most eye-catching thing was the silver tail on the lower body of the other party.

  …Was this a mermaid?

As if there were some broken memories flooding into his mind, Shao Ci's eyes widened in shock.
