Temple Girl
Chapter 8 Accepting the Situation

It seemed that a little girl could not resist fatigue when all the events happened to her at one time, she fell asleep so soundly. Sealed without any interference, although Mr. Zhi's servants often go back and forth to check the situation. Chiharu stayed asleep.

Now he is in the sky, where the Gods mostly reside. The Gods were free to be given a place to live, to be privileged, and to be adored by their followers. The gods are not affected by time, they are immortal. Their shape will be the same when they are created.

After being satisfied with her sleep, Chiharu begins to show signs that she will wake up. Chiharu squirms and starts to open her two heavy eyelids, she feels foreign when the soft red silk perches the first look when she opens the two neutrals. He stared at her for a long time, trying to find the missing pieces and then fully realized.

Right, Chiharu was brought here in a relatively abnormal manner. He was taken flying with something invisible that pulled his body, oscillated in the cold and piercing night air and then thrown here. Then after he realized the reason for himself here, the feeling of loneliness and sadness returned to seep seperusaknya there. Filling up the gaping empty cavity from the wound, it seemed like the wound would rot away and leave a lifelong scar for Chiharu.

The servants with their extraordinary forms waited for Chiharu patiently, they lowered their heads the entire time so as not to offend. They are rabbit-like, but have two horns on their shoulders. The servants of Mr. Zhi even though they resembled rabbits, they did not jump at all. But now carrying trays containing the needs of the little girl.

Chiharu was a little surprised when she realized she was not alone, the girl was a little awkward when fed and allowed to take a bath. Changing clothes with clothes that he never touched and never saw, very beautiful clothes belonging to the Gods. Makes anyone stunned, but what a dress just to cover the body. Cannot cover the wound.

Lama Chiharu was there, inside that magnificent looking room. Staring out the window, honestly the beauty out there made Chiharu feel better. Being in the temple where Lord Qi and himself lived inflicted a wound on him, tore his heart apart, and turned off his senses.

What exactly was Mr Qi planning? The girl thought she had understood anything about her master. What he thinks, what his favorite food is, the kindness of his heart. However, this event caused Chiharu to crash into reality. The bitter fact that he actually did not know anything about Mr. Qi, the Earth God always thought to himself. Deciding anything on his own, without involving Chiharu in it.

"Don't just look, come out if you want a sweet girl." Mr. Zhi's wise voice was able to ease the cruel daydream that brought her consciousness, throwing her back into reality.

Chiharu awoke from his seat, he bowed respectfully as it was powerless to hold back the majesty of the emanated Lord Zhi. The policy was even felt by the ten-year-old girl, thick with how high and powerful Lord Zhi the God of Wisdom was.

"Let's head towards Lord Jian the God of time, that God will be able to see the truth behind your story and the God of Earth." without rejecting Chiharu following Lord Zhi, he walked behind the God of Wisdom.

***

The huge doors opened immediately as Mr. Zhi approached, so wide that towering pillars or increasingly charming skyline were clearly visible. Golden mixed with white, it seems like this is where the God of Time lives because the hours of sand look to fill this place. Either as a display, or even have its own strength.

Some time they waited, appeared a woman with a tall stature complete with a strange smile. His overall clothes were brown, even his clothing designs were never seen by Chiharu. Unlike the hanfu he wore, the clothes that the God of Time wore were only tops with open shoulders, with long subordinates dragging the floor. The hourglass in his hand was able to make Chiharu guess that he was the God of Earth, Jian.

He lowered his head slightly to show his respect, "I know that you two will come, come here." his voice was so cheerful, as if it had no burden. However, Chiharu was sure the voice was filled with thick secrecy.

The two of them were well-chewed, which made Chiharu surprised that the servant who served them was very different in shape. Making Chiharu draw the conclusion, that every God seems to have servants as they wish.

"Alright," the voice of the God of Time reawakened Chiharu from her admiration for the strange servants serving them, now her focus was back on the Light-brown God of Time. And when Chiharu looked at the eyeball of the God of Time, she was a little surprised at its golden color. So bright that Chiharu felt a little inferior.

"What's your name?" ask the God of Time curiously.

Chiharu slightly lowered her head in nervousness, "My name is Chiharu, the God of Time who is full of science." Chiharu said with full respect when dealing directly with him.

The god of time chuckled amusedly when he received such a formal greeting from the human child before him, "no need to be that formal, my name is Jian. Just call me Jian, there is no need to wear God's frills." said casually God Time drank the golden sweet liquid in his glass.

"Now take your hand, let's unload what the God of Earth has been hiding for hundreds of years." The God of Time looked so enthusiastic, and Chiharu obeyed the wishes of the woman before him. He obediently gave those small hands, slightly jolting as the tight grip of the God of Time.

***

The God of Time can see the journey of a person's life, he is like an audience in Chiharu's memories. Seeing clearly without being covered up, watching as a little girl with a weak body was wasted in the cold snow that swallowed anyone. The forest and the snow animals at that time became silent witnesses heartbreaking when how his parents did not want him anymore, throwing him into the pit of despair who was no longer reluctant to have life.

That's where Chiharu, the girl drooped weakly helplessly. With a blank look full of voidness, he was numb even with a weak shivering coldness. Before long he was there, death soon picked him up. The soul leaves the body, and all that remains is an empty body waiting to rot.

It's just that, at that moment a creature didn't let it go. Warm blue rays appeared after hundreds of years of hiding there, dikuil old with wood creaking magical creatures that none other than Mr. Qi appeared there.

A warm blue light like a firefly slowly filled the place, filling the empty container with its soul was the most ridiculous thing the God of Time had ever seen. However, so touching. The God can see how the Earth God is very fond of the little girl who just met a few moments, embraced with a warm embrace and then given life— which is prohibited by the universe.

It seemed like Mr. Qi also knew of the consequences he would receive when returning the life he had taken and deprived, he said, then knowing the punishment that soon arrived Lord Qi enlarged the container he found to hold all the power of his God, training the child not to be destroyed when inheriting the power of his Earth God.

After the process of reading that memory, without being able to resist the tears of the Dew Time flowed. Slowly the flow more and more until it came off just like that, Jian the God of Time cried until it sobbed into the body of Chiharu who also shook and returned to crying. It feels a bit of a relief when one knows what it feels like without Chiharu having to tell a story, even though Chiharu is aware that the God of Time is not a human.

After controlling himself, Jian wiped away the traces of his tears. "It seems that I know why the Earth God disappeared, but of course only from Chiharu's point of view. I didn't know the story before they met." explained the God of Time staring at Mr. Zhi whose focus was on the woman before him.

Then Jian told the story he saw from behind Chiharu's memory, telling everything in detail without anyone missing. "You also know for yourself the consequences of playing with the soul, it is unforgivable by the universe. It seemed like the Earth God also knew that he would be severely punished, while giving Chiharu his spiritual energy and soul essence to keep this girl alive."

"Then aware of the lack of time, the Earth God gave the rest of his energy to Chiharu. Train the child so that his body is strong and does not experience an explosion of energy in his body, and after the energy is left from his body he receives the punishment of the universe. It seems like the God of Earth has thought about this carefully" said the God of Time explaining the situation they are now facing. Feeling compassion towards both sides, both Chiharu and Mr. Qi.

The girl was stunned there, her two black eyeballs opening up perfectly in disbelief. "Is it Mr Qi, because of me?" chiharu's head seemed to be paved by the boulders while listening to the Time God's explanation, his head felt dizzy when he realized that the reason Mr. Qi disappeared was him.

Noticing Chiharu's change in expression, Mr. Zhi stroked the girl gently. Trying to calm down the turbulent feelings there, "Of course not, it's not your fault. And after all it seems like this is not a mistake, the Earth God gave his life to you. Now your life is yours, it's just that the duty of the Earth God is just abandoned."

"I know that you are grieving, only that I will be greatly helped when you become a substitute for the Earth God." The persuasion of the God of Wisdom is able to disturb the recesses of Chiharu's soul, the girl looked at me with eyes as a result of crying.

Chiharu lowered her head helplessly, "Where might I be able to become a God, Lord Zhi. I am just a wasted human child, should the Gods punish me for having eliminated the Earth God. Instead of elevating me to a God, I would not be able to." the little girl's voice sounded raucous, so desperate and frustrated without knowing what she should do.

Mr. Zhi again smiled gently, with great wisdom he said, "Just calm down, I will teach you everything. I will make you a great God, after all you will only become a temporary God. Until the new Earth God is born, little girl."

"Really?" Chiharu said in disbelief, it was hard to imagine life without Mr. Qi. And the reason for Mr. Qi's disappearance inevitably became a crushing blow to Chiharu, scraping his wounds deeper and deeper. Strongly planted and sick even when touched a little, many times his pain when compared to the fact that he had been banished from his family.

However, Chiharu had already been given life. He will remember the wound, letting the damage inside in order for Chiharu to realize that his life belongs to whom, he will gladly give his life only to the new Earth God. Besides, Chiharu will not give his life. Lord Qi's life, he will take care of it.
