Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

"Deceiving others brings disaster, while forgiving others brings blessings. The net of heaven is vast, and retribution will come naturally."

Ordinary people and kind-hearted people are overjoyed.

However, many high-ranking officials and the super-rich have started to think... Doing good deeds is not difficult. Just support a group of poor people, give them alms regularly, and you will accumulate merit.

"To add one more point, good deeds done with good intentions will not be rewarded, and evil deeds done without intentions will not be punished."

The upper-class people also changed their expressions.

"Rules are not rigid. I have my own standards of judgment. Some people, though they have good intentions, genuinely make the world a better place, and they also accumulate merit. Others, though they have no intention of doing evil, cause major crises and setbacks in the world, and they should be punished."

Hundred Alliance Book

Xia Mu paused for a moment, leaving it to everyone to comprehend.

"Those who make significant contributions to the world and accumulate enough merit will retain the memories of this life in their next life."

These were his last words before he left.

And it was this one sentence that drove everyone crazy.

What does this mean? It means immortality!

"Father God—"

This time, the collective worship was much more sincere than the last.

The light and shadow of the World Tree gradually faded, and the world returned to its pre-World War II state, even more vibrant than before.

Many people looked at each other, filled with hope for the future.

“I am not your father god; your father god killed himself.”

Xia Mu didn't say those words, but simply stood under the World Tree, silently gazing at the thousands of branches.

No one could see where the World Tree was, so he chose a snow-capped mountaintop and pioneered the Nibelungen.

Xia Mu looked for a long time before finally sitting down beside the tree roots, leaning against the trunk.

"You did it..."

A clear and gentle voice rang out.

Xia Mu was not surprised, he just raised his eyelids slightly.

Light and darkness were separated, and a dark green World Tree appeared out of thin air, with a figure leaning against it.

That is a projection from the past.

“You saw all of this all along, which is why you planned it this way. This is all your doing, and has nothing to do with me,” Xia Mu said calmly.

The boy in the light and shadow seemed to smile: "No, seeing doesn't mean doing. The future is never just one possibility. In fact, when I left these backup plans, I deduced dozens of possible endings, including Nidhogg's victory, or the ending where you all perish together and the world is destroyed."

"Then how did you get here?" Xia Mu asked.

The boy raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you summon me here?"

Xia Mu remained silent for a moment: "I was just trying it out. I didn't expect the World Tree to actually resonate with it."

"You summoned me here because of Erii?" The boy's eyes were clear.

Xia Mu nodded gently: "I can resurrect her, but that would only be collecting projections from the past. After recreating her, would she still be the same person from the past? I don't think so..."

“What you want is the exact same her, not someone you’ve recreated,” the boy said.

Xia Mu nodded, her gaze fixed on his face.

The boy couldn't help but laugh: "You used the darkness under the lamp to defeat Nidhogg, but you yourself were blinded by the darkness under the lamp."

"what?"

Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat.

“However, I don’t agree with what you said,” the boy said, his expression becoming more serious. “When a person dies in the past, their memories are sealed there. If you take out all of her memories, then create an identical body to hold her spirit, and take her soul out of the branch of rebirth, wouldn’t she be completely resurrected?”

"The only difference is in the physical body, but what truly defines a person is their soul and memory."

Xia Mu closed his eyes: "I understand."

The boy's figure gradually disappeared along with the light and shadow of the World Tree.

A hand gently patted his shoulder, and a boy's voice rang in his ear: "The emotions I lack, the future I can never reach, please help me see them..."

Xia Mu opened his eyes, and everything before him was a blur of motion.

He leaned back against the tree trunk, exhausted, not wanting to move at all.

He hadn't finished what he needed to do, but he didn't have the energy.

A piece of his heart was empty, and it could never be filled...

"Wood...wood..."

Suddenly, a familiar girl's voice rang in my ears.

Natsuki suddenly stood up, his eyes wide, "Eri!"

But then the girl's voice disappeared.

He searched high and low, but could not find her anywhere, nor the source of her voice.

"Do you miss her too much...?"

He closed his eyes and clutched his chest.

But just as he closed his eyes, countless tiny fragments of spiritual light converged within the shimmering green leaves that formed the ocean of his mind…

They converge into that haunting, unforgettable silhouette.

Thousands of red threads fluttered down.

Natsuki saw…

The girl turned around and smiled.

The first chapter of the side story truly lives up to its reputation as the essence of the series.

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"

In a lush, green world, beneath a towering tree, a man leans against its trunk, his hands shimmering with light.

The one-year-old girl climbed all over him, shouting and laughing, having a great time.

"Om."

A ball of spiritual light was tossed up by the man, shooting straight at the World Tree thousands of meters high, landing on a branch where it swayed like a lantern hanging there.

"Snapped."

The man casually patted the little girl: "Don't be silly, that's Nuonuo who was separated from the baby. If anything goes wrong, all our efforts will be in vain."

The little girl climbed onto his back, popped out from his shoulder, and made a little face at him. "So what if we failed? I don't care if she dies... Hey hey hey?"

She suddenly froze, her eyes shining brightly: "Dad! Dad! What kind of relationship will Lu Mingfei and her have in the future? Are they the same soul?"

The man and the little girl are, of course, Xia Mu, and his one-year-old daughter, Xia Mi.

"Yes, they are the same person, the same soul. If you forcibly separate them, they won't be them anymore..."

Xia Mu shrugged. "There was nothing I could do but cut them up. Usually there are two of them, but their soul memories are synchronized every now and then."

Xia Mi climbed onto his shoulder, hugged his head, and sat down, giggling, "That's so interesting! Nuonuo and Caesar will be together, right? Does that mean... Lu Mingfei and Caesar will be together?"

Xia Mu's lips twitched.

“This guy is indeed the protagonist template. And it’s not just him who’s related. Lu Mingze can’t exist without him either,” he touched his brow. “Because Lu Mingze’s soul has been annihilated, he never existed in the past. So I can only put his memories into Lu Mingfei as well, so that he can occasionally play the role of Lu Mingze.”

"Is it necessary? Perhaps for Lu Mingze, disappearing completely wouldn't be so bad?" Xia Mi asked.

Xia Mu reached out and poked her soft little belly with her finger, saying gently, "It's necessary, because there are people who love him..."

"Hmm, is that really so outrageous?" Xia Mi hugged his big hand with her chubby little hand. "Lu Mingfei is both Nuonuo and Lu Mingze, so doesn't that mean he's with a lot of people? And all of them have different identities..."

"That's still not as outrageous as the three of us."

Xia Mu picked her up and held her in his arms, reaching out to touch her soft, bouncy little face. It still felt strange.

It gets even stranger when you think about the future.

"We're fine, really."

Xia Mi looked at him with a flickering gaze, as if trying to increase credibility, "Actually, it could be even more outrageous..."

Xia Mu looked at her warily: "What are you planning to do now?"

Xia Mi chuckled: "Do you want to be our son?"

Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Goodness! That's really daring!

"Mumu, that sounds so interesting!"

In the center of the spiritual ocean, Erii hugged her knees, her red hair flying, appearing quiet and serene, but the words she spoke were anything but calming.

"Funny my foot!"

Xia Mu sighed, "Besides, how can two women have a child?"

Xia Mi, nestled in his arms, gave him a disdainful look: "You can create things, yet you can't solve such a small problem?"

Xia Mu lowered his hand and rubbed her little face: "It was really just a small favor for me, but give me a reason for doing this."

Xia Mi stammered, unable to speak, as he rubbed her face.

"Don't you think it's interesting, Mumu? You're the only one who can be the dad, don't you want to experience what it's like to have two moms?" Erii smiled, her eyes crinkling.

My Healing Game

"No," Xia Mu rolled her eyes. "I'll be ruined by you guys."

"No, you have to believe us. We just want to take good care of you this once." Xia Mi looked at him expectantly.

Xia Mu pouted: "I would believe it if Yi Yi said that."

"A little bit."
