Chapter 947: Begin
This world was full of Origin and overflowing with vitality, a place where Origin can manifest as supernatural Laws from thin air and answer the call of its living beings.
Indeed, this was a Magic-type world.
On one hand, living beings of this world held the great power of magic, while still on the first few steps of actually building their civilization and society, on the other hand, this naturally led to war and strife.
——-Gu Qing Shan had to maintain a high level of caution.
He only tried standing up by himself when he turned 1 year old.
Started learning to walk at the age of 2.
Started going to the toilet alone when he was 3 years old.
While he was still at an age where he had no way to protect himself, he carefully kept his power hidden and patiently observed this world.
———only after he had grasped the basic social structure and situation of this human civilization when he turned 4 years old, did he relax just a little bit.
It was at this age that he was sent to the Yorkshire Private Noble Institute.
During these past 4 years, he had been constantly cultivating himself without slacking off.
Thankfully due to the density of this world’s spirit energy and him being favored by the World Origin, he had already reached Foundation realm.
Basic personal protection was no issue for him.
Time slowly passed uneventfully.
Gu Qing Shan continued to focus on his cultivation while trying to remain as ordinary as possible.
From other people’s perspective, he seemed like a completely normal aristocratic young master.
Until one day.
Just like any other day, he returned to his family manor after school.
All of a sudden, he heard the sound of his mother’s sobbing while the servants maintained a certain distance from her without daring to get closer.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and quickly understood what happened.
——his temporary father lost his life on the battlefield.
He died in an assault of the Beast race.
Although he hadn’t seen this father much during the past 4 years, he still felt a bit emotional from this loss.
Since his family was only a minor noble family, the loss of his father could easily bring them to ruin.
Gu Qing Shan went in and stood in front of his mother.
Although this place was only an illusion, this woman had treated him like how a true mother would.
She was only the daughter of a merchant so she didn’t have a high-born status, after her husband died, she would not be able to protect this home by herself with her weak hands.
Especially during an age of war.
Gu Qing Shan had never rejected her and instead enjoyed this feeling of familial love.
“Are you okay?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
He grabbed her hand with both of his hands
“Alan, dear. I’m fine” his mother wiped her tears away and forced out a smile.
“No, tell me what’s wrong, mother”
“Hic—– your father... most likely won’t be able to return any longer”
His mother could no longer contain herself and fully embraced him.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
In the cultivation world, there was a period where the concept of being ‘involved’ or ‘absolved’ from the society was a big deal, where the cultivation society as a whole believed it was best to cut off all mortal coils in order to achieve greatness in the path of cultivation.
But that age had long passed.
Modern cultivators all believed that anything could be a part of cultivation.
Including emotions and feelings.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a while.
He had grasped the basic rules and situation of this world.
If he wanted to become a normal ‘unrivaled genius’, this would be the best chance for it.
This would also be for the sake of this home, for his mother and the maids who had always treated him well, a small bit of repayment for what they had done.
——even if this was only an illusion since the illusion was created by World Origin, to a certain extent, this is also reality.
Then.
Let’s begin.
Gu Qing Shan silently made his decision.
On the following day, when Gu Qing Shan was at school, he accidentally left a small wound on the neck of another noble child.
While that child was loudly crying for help, Gu Qing Shan lightly placed his hand on the child’s neck.
The wound was immediately healed.
This caused a huge commotion.
The local church dispatched their priests to take a look at the situation themselves, they even asked Gu Qing Shan to try it again.
Gu Qing Shan appeared confused, so he failed the first time.
But succeeded on the second try.
“4 years old... he’s only 4 years old” one of the priests said with disbelief.
“I want to know his exact situation, especially his background” the other priest ordered.
The servants that had arrived with them quickly went to check the relevant information.
The situation was quite clear.
This noble child had shown signs of awakening Sainthood at 4 years old.
If he was a high-born as well—–
That would be terrifying.
A few moments later, the servants returned to the priests of the church.
The two priests quickly learnt that the young boy in front of them had a minor noble father who had just been killed in action at the frontlines.
They exchanged glances.
Because his father sacrificed his life defending humanity, the Gods took pity and allowed this young child to awaken great power.
This was a clear example of God’s love for humanity!
On the same day, Gu Qing Shan was brought into the Yorkshire Convent.
Compared to other establishments like the Wizardry Association, the Knight’s Alliance, and the Hunter Guild, the Church of this world had the oldest and richest heritage of it all.
For that reason, Gu Qing Shan had already prepared himself to enter this organization from the beginning.
The Cardinal in charge of this convent came out to meet him personally, also calling his mother and a few VIPs of the Church as witnesses.
Gu Qing Shan signaled with his eyes to his distressed and uneasy mother that there was nothing to worry about.
At this time, a priest carried a glowing orb in front of the Cardinal.
“The Orb of Lies is ready” the priest reported in a low voice.
The Cardinal nodded and received the Orb of Lies.
“Child, do you believe in God?” he asked.
“Of course, I do, I know that God exists” Gu Qing Shan answered resolutely.
——–that’s right, not only did he meet them, he had also created a few of them.
Not to mention, the Gods of Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind were also said to be the four Pillar Gods who created the worlds.
And Gu Qing Shan was currently the master of the Earth Pillar.
So his words were absolutely accurate without a bit of falsehood.
Silence, all around.
No one had thought that this young child was so sure that God existed.
His attitude greatly improved the Cardinal’s impression of him.
——because the Orb of Lies didn’t react at all.
Normally, the Orb of Lies would give off a faint glow, but if someone spoke falsehood in front of it, the orb would let out a high-pitched scream followed by blinding red light.
But the orb didn’t react to this child’s words.
Which means that he was speaking the truth.
“Ah? Why do you believe that God exists?” the Cardinal questioned him further.
“Because the world was created by God himself, I believe this to be true” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Cardinal looked at him in surprise.
Everyone else had also turned their gaze towards him.
God’s creation of the world was mentioned in the 5th volume of the 7 Holy Bibles of the Church.
This meant that a young child at 4 years old shouldn’t know about this.
Unless his parents were devout believers who had already taught him the corresponding belief and knowledge of the church from a young age.
The Cardinal looked at the Orb of Lies in his hands.
No change.
“You have indeed come from a devout and kind family” the Cardinal happily told him while lightly nodding towards Gu Qing Shan’s mother.
Gu Qing Shan’s mother hurriedly bowed in response, completely flattered.
—–the Cardinal of the county’s Church is a true VIP, someone who would normally never give any praise.
If he personally praised someone, that could only be someone that the Church intended to shelter.
From now on, Alan and I will most likely never come into harm from public forces within this county.
The Cardinal thought for a bit and patiently explained: “Child, a normal person would only awaken their Sainthood at around 6 years old, but you’ve awoken yours at 4. From our experience, this has proven that your talents are a cut above the rest”
“Are you willing to join the Church?”
Gu Qing Shan answered without hesitation: “I am willing”
The Cardinal asked with a smile: “Why do you want to join the Church? Do not fear, simply tell me your truest thoughts”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Because the Church has the greatest inheritance of knowledge. I need to mature and grow here, as one day; it will be my turn to stand and fight against all evils in order to protect this world”
Everyone smiled.
Although this child’s words were innocent, his intentions were praiseworthy.
However, something unimaginable happened.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “I was born through the will of this world, descended from a faraway land. I came as an avatar of the Divine who walks the earth, all to guard and keep this world safe”
His voice was immature but carried an unprecedented sense of solemnity.
The entire Church went silent.
Complete silence.
Everyone looked at the Orb of Lies at the same time.
The Orb of Lies continued to give off its gentle glow, not reacting at all to his words.
This child!
This child was speaking the truth!!!
