"So that's how it is!"
As I listened, I felt a little touched … I had no parents or family since I was a child, and it was my master who raised me. Although he had always been kind to me, I had secretly envied those who had real parents. A blood relation is a mysterious power. I've never had it, so I've always yearned for it. He never thought that he would have such a connection in this life. He was truly fortunate!
I curiously asked, "Are all the Goddess chosen from the direct line of descent?" Could it be that with this kind of Divine Seal, I can become the Heavenly Protector of the Kingdom? "
Bai Lin replied, "I've also heard the lord talk about it... He said that there was actually no difference in the selection of the Goddess, and that it was mainly due to the size of the inherited Celestial Fox Immortal power. "
"Then how can we determine the size of the divine power?"
Bai Lin: "The main point is looking at the size and clarity of the Divine Seal … Imprints like the Miss's were the most beautiful and biggest Divine Seal in the entire Bai Clan! So, miss, if you grew up as a girl, you would definitely be sent to the temple as a goddess! "Fortunately, the old master and his wife had foresight …"
"Foresight? What? Previously, I did not have this imprint on my body? "
Bai Lin nodded her head, "Although Miss's Divine Seal had only appeared recently and didn't appear on her body when she was young, the Old Master and Madam had already made their decision just in case something happened. Actually, the children of the Bai Clan that were born with the Divine Seal were almost extinct … Many years ago, with the Bai Family inheriting more and more algebra, the bloodline of the Gods had already gradually weakened, the clan had not seen a child born with a Divine Seal for a long time! However, the position of Heavenly Protector Goddess could not be vacant, so the clan leader issued an order … A woman of your clan, no matter whether she is a descendant or a twelve-year-old, gifted or intelligent person, even if she does not have a Divine Seal, she will be sent to the temple as a candidate of a Divine Maiden. She will cultivate until she is twenty-five years old, and if she does not have a Divine Seal on her body, she will be sent back to the temple to live with her parents. And with the Miss's identity, if she had been raised by a girl in the past, she would definitely be chosen by the time she turned twelve. Even if she didn't have a Divine Seal on her body, she would still have to stay in the temple until she turned twenty! The old master's wife felt sorry for you, so she sent you to train and fight … Furthermore, a Divine Seal has appeared on your body! "It can be seen just how wise the lord's wife's decision was all those years ago …"
I scratched my head. "So, have those girls living in the temple any divine seals appeared on them?"
Bai Lin shook her head. "Not yet."
I said, "Then doesn't that mean that there will be no more successors to the Goddess position?"
Bai Lin said, "There's no need to worry about this young miss." The current Goddess is your own aunt. She is young and strong, and should be able to serve for many years. When the time comes, a new child will be born.
I nodded and sighed, "No wonder people called me 'General Bai Lian' back in the war! "So it turns out that I've been raised by a boy ever since I was young. It seems that when they started fighting, they were pretty fierce …"
Bai Lin immediately nodded, her eyes filled with worship, "Miss, you truly deserve to be called someone with a Divine Seal and inherited the divine bloodline! You have been out fighting with the Bai Clan since you were fourteen. You have fought in the war for many years, and you have been almost invincible. Your fame has spread throughout the countries, so who in the army or in the army doesn't respectfully call you 'General Bai Lian'? "Even if those enemy bandits see our Bai Family Army and hear your name, General Bai Lian, they'll still be scared of you …"
Listening to Bai Lin's boasting, coupled with the fact that Ran Mo kept a low profile, I realized that this world is currently a world of chaos … In the past, the Xuanyuan Kingdom had unified the world, but now, it was divided into three parts. The three major powers, Nan Yu, Xi Ling and Cang Wu, and there were also many other smaller countries living in the middle of the gap.
The three great powers went to war with each other. War was frequent and the world was engulfed in smoke.
Two months ago, the Western Tomb Army attacked the western border of our country, and the Emperor sent the Bai Clan to fight. The Bai Clan was one of the main forces of the Nan Yu Country, and Bai Lian was the commander in charge of the 30,000 strong army. Half a month ago, the Bai Clan had already chased the Western Tomb Army out of the border. Bai Lian had left fifteen thousand people to guard the border while he personally led the other half to invade the Western Tomb Kingdom for an expedition.
Ran Mo was Bai Lian's personal bodyguard, and also one of her trusted aides. Therefore, she understood Bai Lian's plan of battle … It turned out that this General Bai Lian had planned to drive the Western Tomb Army out of the Gobi Desert in one go, and then build a border city on the Gobi Desert to add troops and horses, explaining the dangers of the Western Region once and for all.
She thought that her martial arts were unrivalled and wanted to capture Hu'er alive in today's battle, forcing the enemy to retreat. She didn't expect that she would make a mistake in the individual competition and suddenly fall under a horse, almost getting injured … It must have been because I was teleported back then that such an accident happened!
"Today, our captured General Hu Mao'er is the brother of the Emperor of Xi Ling Country! "As long as we take him as our hostage, we can continue to push the Xiling Army all the way to the western border of our country. That way, we can keep the western border of our country safe." "It's called the 'Ran Mo'."
This meant that they had to continue fighting? I was troubled.
I asked, "How many people in the army know of my female identity?"
"Other than Bai Lin and me, there's no one else."
I asked again, "How many people in that tribe know about it?"
"Other than the Old Master and Madam, there's no one else."
"Yes." I'll have to trouble you to help me continue concealing this matter. Also, don't tell my parents about my amnesia as well. I'm afraid they're worried. "
Both Ran Mo and Bai Lin nodded.
In order to cope with the upcoming battle, I used another Divine Amulet. I called my master and asked him for advice on how to quickly end the battle with the West Tomb Kingdom. I wanted to ensure that my victory was assured, but at the same time, I couldn't cause too many deaths in the human world.
Master taught me the art of spreading beans into weapons. This kind of spell is to borrow the shadow of the heavenly soldiers and help our army in battle. It can not only repel the enemy, but also minimize the lethality of war. As this kind of spell would not cause fatal harm to the enemy, it is an extremely human-like immortal technique. As such, it was approved by the Jade Emperor and allowed me to temporarily use it in the lower realms.
Thus, I set up a sacrificial altar on the battlefield and asked the Heaven Soldiers to descend and help. When their figures had taken the enemy down, I charged into the enemy camp alone and captured their commander. In this life, this world-famous "General Bai Lian" had a decent martial arts foundation and trained in a profound inner force. When I quietly combined the Evergreen Sect's inner force skills with his, he was actually able to reach the level of Heaven Man Unity. It seems that I was indeed a man of my word in this eighteenth lifetime.
After a month, we finally got the Western Tombs out of the Gobi and built a border city for defense.
After that, I was able to return to the imperial court.
Our army's speed was relatively slow, and it took us nearly half a month on the road. When I finally returned to the legendary capital of Nan Yu Country, it was already April.
On the day they entered the city, the Emperor of Nan Yu specially led the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome them and reward the three armies.
The majestic gates of the imperial city were opened for the Bai Clan. I was dressed up by Bai Lin in her signature white robe and a treasured meteor sword. I rode on a large snow-hoofed horse.
The main road into the city was covered with an embroidered carpet, and the citizens carried their old age, holding flowers and wine as they walked along to welcome them.
Ran Mo and the rest protected me in the middle to prevent any outlaws from attacking me. However, even if their defenses were like an iron wall, it wouldn't be able to stop the citizens' fiery passion.
