The Growth of a God

Chapter 836 - 18: Winged Divine Dragon Rearing Diary

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,692nd year · Xuan Yue · Day 3.

Today is the seventeenth day since I officially started classes. The teacher told us to write a diary entry, recording some bits of life with our parents.

But I find this a bit childish, and my mom and dad are both really weird. There’s basically nothing worth recording about them, and it’s definitely not because I’m embarrassed!

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,693rd year · Hua Yue · Day 17.

I’m so mad! I was really, really angry today!

Everyone else already has the latest model Brain-Computer implanted, so why does Mom only let me use a portable external Brain-Computer?

Even Dad is siding with Mom this time. I’m going to run away from home!

They must not be my real parents! I don’t look like them at all!

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,693rd year · Hua Yue · Day 18.

Prophet Grandpa is so annoying. He clearly promised he wouldn’t tell my parents!

And those hateful Symbiotes—just one touch and they actually read my thoughts, and even blurted them all out.

But thanks to them, I finally learned the truth.

Turns out Mom and Dad really aren’t my biological parents, and I don’t look like anyone else.

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,699th year · Late Spring · Day 7.

Honestly, after all these years, I thought I’d already gotten used to the identity of an "adopted son."

But today, seeing Hua Gu, She Tang and the others looking exactly like their own parents, I still felt a bit jealous.

Luckily, Mom finally agreed to let me get a Brain-Computer implant. I can finally access the Mountain and Sea Network too.

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,699th year · Late Spring · Day 13.

After going through a whole series of complicated procedures and reviews, I got a Brain-Computer of my own.

I have to admit, life really is much more convenient with a Brain-Computer, and even my learning speed has shot up.

I can’t believe it—what used to take me a whole year to memorize from books, I suddenly remembered all at once.

Unfortunately, actually applying it still depends on my own understanding.

No wonder school focuses on teaching logic and thinking skills. Pure memorization is completely meaningless!

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,703rd year · Early Summer · Day 25.

This year makes the fifth consecutive year I’ve been having those dreams. They’re still just as nonsensical, just as annoying.

Good thing I’m used to it by now—after all, I am special.

I just don’t know how things are going for Mom and Dad. I heard they went to Dongyang Heaven this time?

I really hope they can come back soon. They’re just some ridiculous nightmares. If I keep having them, I’ll get used to them. It’s really no big deal at all.

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,709th year · Flower Festival · Day 31.

Today is the last day for flower viewing, and Mom stood me up again!

Good thing Dad came back this time, but I caught a faint scent of Death on him...

Damn it! I already said I don’t care about those dreams at all. Why won’t they believe me!

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,751st year · Deep Winter · Day 21.

As soon as I finished today’s classes and got home, I received horrible news.

Mom is dead, killed by a Ghost God lurking in Fengquan. Thankfully, her soul has returned to the Netherworld.

I knew Mom would end up like this sooner or later. She died because of me.

Right now I just hope Dad will listen to me. I really don’t care about those damn dreams!

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,773rd year · High Summer · Day 19.

I’ve decided—I’m going to do advanced studies and choose a combat Profession, and best case, become an Ascender in the combat field.

Dad and Prophet Grandpa are really against this, but I’m not a kid anymore.

If I want to figure out what’s really going on with my dreams, becoming a true Professional Fighter is a must.

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,797th year · Early Spring · Day 1.

Today, I successfully passed the trial to become an "Artificial God Driver."

In the next twenty years, I’ll undergo the most comprehensive prosthetic transformations, until I completely merge with the "Artificial God."

I so wish Dad could see the day I pilot an "Artificial God"!

Too bad he’s going to keep Mom company, even giving up his identity as one of the Skeletons to become a Ferryman stationed forever in the Netherworld.

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,819th year · Late Spring · Day 29.

After all these years, I finally traced the source of those nightmares!

The Exotic Nether King Osiris who once invaded the Mountain and Sea Realm—I actually turned out to be a Divine Creature formed from His Divine Fragment.

So Dad and Mom had known about my origins long ago. Their earlier "investigations" were never about finding the source of my dreams.

They wanted to sever me from that Nether King and let me live on as an independent individual.

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,836th year · Fu Yue · Day 7.

I retraced the entire path of Dad and Mom’s investigation, and took the chance to kill the very Ghost God that forced Mom to return to the Netherworld.

A Gu said I was just venting my anger, that it was totally pointless.

But only by personally facing the dangers Dad and Mom once faced did I understand how much they’d really sacrificed for me.

Even if only for Dad and Mom’s sake, I shouldn’t cut myself off from Netherworld King Osiris.

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,853rd year · New Autumn · Day 9.

I’ve been staying in Yungong City this whole time, and I ran into a strange guy.

He seemed to know a lot about my origins, and was clearly surprised by what I’m doing now.

I mentioned my parents to him, and he said he remembered them too.

Then he told me that if I wanted to keep digging into my origins, I could go to Jingxu Heaven in the Thirty Three Heavens and take a look.

But he also warned me that there’s an existence there I can’t even imagine, currently trying to bring about the Resurrection of the Nether King.

Only at the very end did I learn his name from others’ mouths—Father of the Sun Gear, God of the Sacred Beetle, Aten.

...

Mountain and Sea Calendar · 735,866th year · Pu Yue · Day 18.

It’s been three or four years since I came to Jingxu Heaven, and I’ve also met those who are the same kind as me.

Unfortunately, their attitude toward me isn’t friendly at all, so I can’t get any deeper access to what happened back then.

Good thing I don’t care about that. Their rejection instead made me conscious of my own uniqueness.

They’re only my same kind, not my companions.

I’m not like those Secret Seekers—I have no intention of bringing them civilization. I only want to rule them—to rule them as Netherworld King Osiris.
