God's Gift

Lu Keming looked at the light on his arm, was stunned for a second, then quickly lifted his sleeves and saw the pattern on his arm that was glowing blue.

This pattern has been on his hand for nineteen years, and Lu Keming never thought it would turn out like this.

Yu Youyou came to Lu Keming, stood up on her two hind feet, looked at Lu Keming's arm, and peered for a while before sighing softly, "It's glowing."

"What did you do?" Lu Keming did not hear her voice. He stared at Old Man Shiguang with a bit more fierceness in his eyes.

“Don’t be anxious.” Even though Lu Keming showed such a look, Old Man Time just smiled gently, like water, embracing everything.

He pointed at the scroll and said to Lu Keming, "You will understand after you read it."

The scroll has begun to move, and countless images are rapidly appearing in the dark blue deep sea.

Huge fish appeared in the ocean. They all had huge bodies and skin as dark as the bottomless abyss. Their eyes lit up in the dark ocean like searchlights, and they swam freely in the vast ocean.

"What is this?" Lu Keming looked at the countless giant fish on the scroll with a stunned expression.

"These are the successive Ou Xi." Old Man Time stood gently in the center and answered Lu Keming's question.

"Isn't there only one Ou Xi?" Lu Keming always thought that there was only one Ou Xi in the ocean, but he didn't expect to see so many here.

When Old Man Shiguang heard Lu Keming's question, he smiled and said, "Ou Xi is just a title. All deep-sea gods are Ou Xi."

Lu Keming was silent for a second, then turned his attention back to the main point, "So what do a few Ou Xi have to do with me?"

Old Man Time did not answer, but just said: "Let's take a look again."

Lu Keming shifted his gaze back to the scroll. He wanted to see what the old man wanted to do.

The scroll quickly gave him the answer.

The pictures changed very quickly. In just a few tens of seconds, dozens of scenes had changed. Gradually, things other than fish and sea water appeared around Ou Xi.

But those things are really weird.

Some were seaweed, some were a snake, some were a seabird, and some were ordinary fish. It was not until the end that Lu Keming saw a human woman.

They all have one thing in common, which is the same pattern as the one on Lu Keying's arm.

The giant fish called Oshi was playing freely in the ocean in the previous scenes. It was not until these marked objects appeared that Oshi's behavior changed.

Oshi, who was accompanied by the seabird, floated to the surface of the sea every day, exposing his back as an island for the seabird to rest.

Another Oshi stayed beside a seaweed every day, picked up one shipwreck after another, collected the gold, silver and jewelry in the ship, and built a garden.

Lu Keming didn’t know what they were doing, these things were indeed somewhat magical.

"The power of natural gods comes from nature. The more the gods are integrated with nature, the more powerful they are."

"Gods have almost eternal life, so most natural gods have only one term so far. However, Oshi is the one who is best integrated with nature among all the gods, and is the only one who continues his power through reproduction."

Old Man Shiguang pointed at the pattern on Lu Keming's hand and said, "All those chosen by the gods to reproduce will have this mark from birth."

"You are the one chosen by Oshie."

Even though Lu Keming had a bad feeling when he saw those pictures, when Old Man Guang told him the result, Lu Keming's brain still went blank for a moment.

Old Man Shiguang glanced at the dazed Lu Keming and continued:

"You were born to meet Oshie, and it is your destiny to fall in love with him."

"Nonsense." Lu Keming quickly glanced at Yu Youyou who was sitting next to him, turned around and answered Old Man Shiguang with a cold face, "I won't fall in love with Ou Xi."

Old Man Shiguang smiled slightly, his voice gentle and tolerant, and then he changed the subject and mentioned something else:

"I have watched the past, observed the course of the world, and seen many interesting things. When humans fall in love, they often make a vow to remain faithful until death, as a testimony of their true love."

"But the more you lack something, the more you need to prove it, and that's what those vows are like."

"It is human nature to like the new and dislike the old, and it is their nature to be fickle."

"If you can suppress this instinct, suppress your fickle nature, it will be a love that can move heaven and earth."

Old Man Shiguang turned around and stopped looking at Lu Keming. Instead, he looked at Ou Xi in the painting and said, "But Ou Xi's instinct is to fall in love with the chosen one. Their nature is loyalty. After finding a partner, they will even give up eternal life."

"Isn't it good to get such love?"

Old Man Shiguang said a lot, but Lu Keming remained expressionless and replied in a cold voice: "That has nothing to do with me."

There was no emotion in his eyes, his chin raised, and he looked at Old Man Time indifferently.

"I am not a tool of fate. Everything about me is decided by myself."

Old Man Shiguang listened to Lu Keming's firm words and shook his head slowly. He did not explain much, but just smiled and sighed: "What is fate? What is the use of resisting fate? All causes lead to results, and who can see the cause and effect clearly?"

Lu Keming looked at Old Man Shiguang coldly, and suddenly thought of something. His eyebrows moved and he said sarcastically: "After saying so much, your master is dead."

"Why should I bother with something that has been dead for thousands of years?"

He raised his eyebrows, a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked: "You told me these things, don't you want me to help you resurrect your master?"

Old Man Shiguang was not angry at Lu Keming's provocation. His eyes were gentle and he said, "The gears of fate have already started turning. I don't need to do anything."

"Youyou, let's go." Lu Keming sneered and wanted to ask Yu Youyou to leave together, but when he looked down, he saw Yu Youyou looking at the ground in deep thought.

"What's wrong?" He looked at Yu Youyou in confusion and asked.

Hearing this voice, Yu Youyou turned her head to glance at Lu Keming, then suddenly walked over and stepped on Lu Keming's foot, and asked unhappily, "Isn't it good to be with God?"

"Not good." Lu Keming answered almost decisively, as if he was eager to explain something to Yu Youyou.

But it was obvious that Yu Youyou didn't understand what he meant. She lowered her head and thought for a long time. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She stomped her feet on the spot angrily.

"Let's go, Youyou." Lu Keming didn't want to stay in this place any longer, so he turned and walked towards the entrance.

Yu Youyou glanced at the old man of time who was looking at her with a smile, and followed Lu Keming's pace, but stepped one step behind Lu Keming into the dark corridor.

Just one step away, after Lu Keming entered the corridor, the dark passage was instantly closed, trapping Yu Youyou in this space.

The pictures in the scrolls around began to rotate rapidly, colorful pictures flowed, and finally stopped at another picture.

Yu Youyou stopped and looked curiously.

In the quiet and deep blue ocean, at the edge of a huge seabed fissure, a young man knelt on the edge of a cliff. Stars of light kept falling from the sea above, like meteors shining in the ocean. The young man held up his hands and caught one of them.

The young man knelt straight, raised his head, and stared blankly at the spots of light falling in the ocean.

His expression collapsed bit by bit, and overwhelming darkness pressed in from all sides. The extreme despair and gloom were about to tear the painting apart, sweeping the people outside the painting into the oppression.
