Chapter 146 Seed of Blessing, Seed of Curse_2
"This is Mohe's intention. Our child, if integrated with the Seed of Blessing or the Seed of Curse from birth, could potentially climb the ladder to reach our domain in the future. In a sense, it's a path Mohe is pioneering."
Lisidorwei didn't express her own opinion; she looked at Rose: "Rose, what do you think?"
"If it's Mohe, I think we can mostly trust her. Although she often deceives... what she tells you is mostly true. It's just that she might hide the key parts, like the side effects of this method while claiming it shows promise to become such a ladder... I think that's very likely," Rose said, based on her understanding of Mohe.
Ah Xion mused, "Although I can't quite understand the loneliness you so-called Eternal Life Forms feel... while I've seen those I once knew grow old and die, it doesn't sadden me. Perhaps it's my own issue, being indifferent to it. Yet... what I want to know is, why is Mohe researching this? Creating a path from a powerful life form to enter your domain... why would she pave this path? Even with such a method, shouldn't it remain in her own hands, to guide only those close to her into this domain who would heed her commands? Wouldn't that be the most sensible choice?"
This was a question—
But Doro could answer.
"From our interactions with the Goddess, we learned her estimation of the domain above ours—one that even she and Mohe couldn't reach. According to her vision, residing in such a domain could reverse time, alter history and destiny, and become the true ruler of this world... Mohe's aim isn't to pave such a path. Instead, she deeply comprehends the essence of our life forms, the reason for our strength—she is researching her own realm. The path is in fact a byproduct of her research. It's merely a peripheral study for her."
He candidly said, "In other words, anyone accepting either seed becomes her test subject. She might not interfere at all, but she will certainly observe the growth of such life forms. Perhaps one or two is not enough; this experiment could take thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Mohe lacks no patience—she will completely unravel all mysteries with these two seeds."
Lisidorwei thus asked, "So, according to you, you are inclined to let our child obtain one of these seeds."
"Did I show such an inclination?"
"You are my husband."
Doro was speechless, then said, "Yes, indeed, even with this seed, this hope, I still feel that my child might not grasp this potential, but I won't deny this hope... I wish for my child to reach this domain."
His expression was very complex: "Even though the possibility is extremely slim."
The girls fell silent.
"Mohe will do many things afterward," Doro suddenly said, "She is never one to settle down; before defeating me, she will try all sorts of things. I know her thoughts: since she can't defeat me in the same domain, she will step ahead of me into the realm before me. In knowledge, in understanding all things, she surpasses me by far. Even if I endeavor to catch up, I can never be her match. Her comprehension surpasses everyone else's in all areas... in the knowledge obtained from the same thing, she surpasses all... so if there's a field above, I can hardly find the possibility of entering that field before her."
Lisidorwei's expression shifted: "Since that's the case, then why don't you..."
"I won't retreat because of this, even if Mohe surpasses me in the end and I fall in battle against her." Doro only gave this answer, and his expression looked somewhat sorrowful, "Moreover, even if that day comes, it would be a very distant, very very distant future. By then, you might have already passed away."
Ah, what a sorrowful topic.
Eternity, false eternity, impossible eternity...
Only during such dialogue does Doro feel so near yet truly so far from them—a tangible chasm of talent and potential blocking the way between eternity and beyond.
"If, if we are reincarnated, possessing that seed, could it..."
"I don't know."
Doro answered honestly, "Such a question can only be answered by Mohe."
Lisidorwei finally said, "Then let our child have one seed; he's soon to be born. Which seed do you wish him to have? Curse or blessing?"
"And you, Lisidorwei?"
Lisidorwei thought for a moment: "Ultimately, it should be blessing, right?"
"Oh? You should know blessing isn't necessarily a favorable word."
"My husband was once a Hero. I fell in love with him when he was a Hero. Even if he's no longer a Hero, I always know my husband has never changed. He is actually the same as before; his heart remains as gentle as ever... and that is the guidance of the Goddess, the praise of blessing... I hope my child can be as excellent as my husband."
She expressed these words with deep feeling.
"Lisidorwei... then let it be so."
...
"Can you give me that Seed of Curse, Mohe?"
Mohe looked confused at the Wise King: "It won't be of use to you, right? You are already at this age, walking your path. Using such a thing is a waste."
"If you give it to me, I'll find Doro and have a child," the Wise King directly offered her condition.
Nominally, both of them were Doro's maids, so they would often work together—though the task of tending to Doro was mostly carried out by Mohe; within their little maid group, there was also Noel, who was recently learning cooking from Rose.
"Oh?!" Mohe was quite surprised, "Are you serious? Previously I asked Ah Xion to have a child with Doro, and she refused me—simply clueless... but are you confident? Between you and Doro..."
"That's none of your concern. In any case, if I get a child with Doro, will you give me the Seed of Curse?"
"Doro's child might also desire the Seed of Curse."
The Wise King waved her hand: "You clearly know that if you ask Lisidorwei, the final result will certainly be the Seed of Blessing... what I want is the Seed of Curse."
"Well~ if that's the case, I don't mind—however, may I ask why you want a Seed of Curse and to have a child with Doro... do you like him?"
"If you mean romantic affection between a man and a woman, then no. But as a human, I like him very much... you don't understand humans enough... the nature of humans is such that because they can't achieve something themselves, they conceive children, cultivate them to be more outstanding, and let them fulfill dreams on their behalf. Some parents claim to be very tolerant of their children, not requiring them to do anything—which is actually the same; it's just that their dreams aren't grand ideals, but the leniency and freedom they longed for as children. That is still their dream; children are the extension of their parents' dreams."
The Wise King smiled, "The domain I cannot reach, I want my child to reach."
