The God of War
Opening the Book of Life
For a while the two of them saw each other again. A pair of Lily's brownish pupils trembled at Zhou, instantly his breath seemed to become heavy.
With his shady face, Zhou nodded faintly and smiled faintly, "That is right, Wife. It was me .." he said warmly and gently.
At once Lily who was feeling surprised after listening to the confession from Zhou, tried to immediately get up from Zhou's lap because she felt disinclined. But Zhou did not let go and instead held the slender body.
"Pa-prince .. forgive me.. It shouldn't be like this .." said Lily to be misbehaved and still trying to rid herself of Zhou.
But the more Lily tried to rid herself of Zhou, the more Zhou hugged her tightly. Although it did not use any of its power, but this was enough to make Lily difficult to escape.
"What's wrong if it's like this? Hhm?" relaxed and seductive-sounding questions began to be conveyed by Zhou.
"You are a prince, it would be inappropriate for me if it were like this .." Lily said softly and lowered her head helplessly.
"We're married. And you are my wife. What's inappropriate, Wife?" zhou asked tighter and tighter, hugging Lily and leaning her beautiful chin over Lily's shoulder.
"But ..."
"Are you disappointed to learn of my past, wife? Did you judge me so badly for falling into the cliff of the valley of death back then? Even grandfather Feng found me in a weak and helpless state."
"Of course it's not like that! It's just .. I still feel very surprised. And I feel unworthy of you .." said Lily, further slowing down her voice.
He felt extremely lacking in confidence after knowing all of these truths. A prince should definitely marry a crown princess. But what about himself?
Lily was even just an ordinary village woman who had no noble lineage or no royal family. And of course knowing this truth made him feel discouraged. He felt very low and inappropriate for Zhou.
"I love you, and will always love you. I don't care about anything and everything that happens. You are still my wife. Stay by my side, Lily .." said Zhou expectantly and softly.
Slowly Zhou closed his pair of beautiful eyes, feeling comfort and peace as he hugged his wife.
Lily sighed softly and ventured herself to grab the two strong hands of Zhou who was still coiling around hugging her. And Lily slowly stroked it gently.
There was a joy in listening to what Zhou had just said. His heart instantly became calm, peaceful and relieved.
"Please promise me, you will always be by my side .." said Zhou still with a pair of closed eyes.
"Ehm ..." Lily nodded slowly, as if she still did not have complete confidence. "Home ..."
"Yes?"
"At that time you were also exposed to deadly poison. Who did all that to you?"
"Someone who was very close to me at the time. He's the one I've always loved and have always protected." said Zhou, opening his eyes.
His eyes stared straight ahead. He was reminded of the figure of Zeus in the past. Even before the fateful incident, Zeus seemed to love Zhou so much and there was no visible hint of hatred. But for some reason, Zeus could suddenly do all that to Zhou.
"Wives. I'm tired .. Let me just lean on you for a moment .." said Zhou softly and closed his eyes again.
In the end, Zhou fell asleep. Lili, who was reluctant to wake her up, eventually brought a pillow and a blanket for Zhou.
"My husband, sleep and rest well .." he said softly while confirming Zhou's blanket.

Before dawn, Zhou had already woken up. And Lily was still asleep at his side. Zhou moved Lily on the bed with the son who also apparently had woken up.
Finally Zhou took the son and brought him back to his special room, because Zhou did not want to wake his wife.
Zhou returned to take out both thick books. One of the books was a reddish aura that was padlocked. On the cover of the book was a reddish-colored spiritual stone like a flame.
While the other book is dark greenish with a padlock like the roots of a large plant that propagates and coils around it.
Zhou intended to start with the book of life. While the son was entering the prone stage, he was so excited to arouse and rub the books of all heirlooms and powers.
"My son, these books are precious to all of us. With these books we can save the world. Play for a while, I will try to open and study these books." Zhou rubbed his head lovingly.
The little prince Hellios laughed funny as if he could understand Zhou's words, then he who was still lying on his stomach, lowered his head and rubbed the dark greenish book.
"This book of life will only open when the first rays of dawn break. And I had to use spiritual power to open it on that part of the spiritual stone. Then the lock of the lock will open by itself." Zhou muttered softly and his gaze stared at the focus of the spiritual stone.
He was waiting for the first dawn ray today. And as the sun's rays began to rise, Zhou began to focus his spiritual power on his hands and pointed them at the reddish-colored spiritual stone like the flame.
A bluish-white light shot out through Zhou palms and illuminated the spiritual stone on the book of life.
Slowly the padlock on the book began to open. And Zhou started to open the book. But the book was still empty, and only showed white sheets.
"This book is already open, but I still can't make it show the contents inside." Zhou muttered furrowing both eyebrows.
The long breaths began to be done by Zhou. But not giving up until there, Zhou again released a spiritual energy from his body after both hands made some quick movements. He put it in the book of life again.
For a while the book was empty, but in the end the white sheets began to emit a dazzling light and ended up showing the writings with golden kanji after the son crawled and touched the white sheet with his tiny fingers that issued the orange aura was like embers of fire.
Zhou was actually quite surprised, why the son had suddenly approached him and his tiny body had such an aura. Even for a few seconds Zhou had seen a sun symbol on his forehead again visible and lit up, but a few moments back disappeared after Zhou held his tiny body.
The adorable baby's typical little laugh made Zhou's stiff expression fade back. He smiled at his little son then hugged him to read the book of life together.
Zhou immediately searched for contents related to the eternal body of the Star God who was reborn with the new owner. Then start reading one by one the contents in it carefully and carefully.
