Year 63 of the Cangbai calendar, New Year’s Day on January 1st.
A relaxed and cheerful atmosphere enveloped the entire empire, and every household was preparing New Year decorations.
Royal City Amberspet, outer city.
Although the empire is becoming more and more prosperous, it is still inevitable that many citizens are still in poverty... Today's outer city area seems even more desolate than before, and the scale of the low-rent area is expanding.
It was already evening, and every corner of the low-rent area was lit with dim incandescent light, which was a cheaper lighting tool than kerosene lamps and was deeply loved by residents of the outer city.
Under the official subversive transformation, every corner of the city has been covered with electric wires and power towers, so almost every household has installed cheap and easy-to-use incandescent lamps.
In a low-rent house on the roadside, the sound of children's laughter could be heard. Under the guidance of the adults, the children began to sing hymns and pray to the gods and the great "Mr. Infinity".
Looking through the mottled window into the house, I saw five children of different ages sitting around a shabby dining table, three boys and two girls, their clothes all with patches.
The father was singing hymns with the children with a pious look on his face, while the mother was busy walking out of the kitchen on the side, holding a plate of freshly fried horse mackerel in her hand.
"Infinity above, may the gods protect you."
The family closed their eyes and prayed.
Soon, the father called the children to start eating.
"Fish and wine were Mr. Infinite's favorite food and drink. By taking these two sacraments, each of you will receive the protection of that great being."
"We know, Dad."
The children responded with laughter.
Immediately, they were very polite and each of them was given a small portion of fish on their own plate, and also poured half a glass of cheap red wine.
In the past, underage children were not allowed to drink alcohol, but New Year's Day was an exception because red wine was included in the "Holy Communion" and drinking was a tribute and etiquette to the Supreme God "Mr. Infinite".
Eating fish is a way of showing love for “Mr. Infinite”.
This is a "deeply rooted" perception among the imperial people.
The father watched his children enjoying their meal, and an irrepressible smile broke out on his weather-beaten face.
He and his wife looked at each other with relief in their eyes.
Although mackerel and red wine were not cheap and cost them more than half a month's salary, it was well worth it to be able to let the children take the Holy Communion.
But what this family didn't know was.
Outside the window, two people were standing, watching this scene silently.
"My dear, don't be angry... Most likely, Zuo Fei secretly appropriated the only divinity of the stars in the 'House of Divine Power' and tampered with the world's cognition."
Flo Yin pursed her lips and whispered comforting words to the man beside her.
She was wearing a black long dress today and a small hat on her head. A black veil covered the upper half of her face, revealing only her white chin and her bright red mouth.
After Chen Lun transcended the sequence, he merged with three copies of the source sin and became the "pillar" that overlooked the ordinary old days and the outer gods. He himself was the rule itself, so the unique divinity born from the "source sin" was no longer useful to him... So he returned all 70 copies of the unique divinity he originally held to the world of Beretania, and built a "Theocracy" in Abbasye, the fairyland Tianyuan God's residence, specifically for storing these unique divinities, leaving them to those who need to become gods in the future.
As the descendant of the two gods "Mr. Infinity" and "Ms. Pale", Zuo Feispet naturally has unparalleled status and privileges. He can enter the "House of Divine Power" at any time, and the "gatekeeper" Ms. Fredetri will not stop him, and even turns a blind eye to the various extraordinary behaviors of this "little ancestor".
"She is still young. She doesn't understand what the world has been through, nor what you have done for the world... She is just being petty."
Flo Yin sighed.
According to worldly standards, Zuo Fei is nearly 40 years old, but in fact, her mental age is only 14 or 15 years old. She is in the rebellious period of youth, and her appearance is still that of a girl.
This is due to her background.
Zuo Fei was a high-level mythical creature and a demigod since birth. Even though he had not deliberately learned mysterious knowledge over the years, he was promoted to an angel of destiny on the spot when he received the first divinity of destiny from his father Jack on his eighteenth birthday more than 20 years ago.
This is something that countless extraordinary beings who have transformed from “human bodies”, even angels and true gods, cannot envy...
Thinking that her daughter was becoming more and more naughty, and worried that her husband would be angry about it, Flo Yin smoothed her long light golden hair, took her husband's arm, and leaned her head against him to comfort him.
Fish and wine are obviously the food and drinks that her husband hates the most, but now they have become holy communions in every household. If we judge it seriously, Zuo Fei's behavior is undoubtedly blasphemy.
"I'm not angry."
Chen Lun, dressed in black and wearing a black hat, just shook his head.
He knew in his heart that his daughter did this probably because she was complaining that he and Flo Yin went out to play without her.
"This little burden..."
Chen Lun smiled.
He gently patted the back of his wife's hand, then raised his fingers. A silver-white flame ignited at the fingertips, and infinitely overlapping flames spread and radiated.
Inside the house, there was fresh milk and rice on the family’s table, as well as some other rich dishes.
But the family didn't find it strange.
"As for Zuo Fei's matter, I will ask the gods to take good care of her in the subsequent 'education session'... Now, we should go, the expo is about to start."
Chen Lun turned around and whispered to his wife.
Flo Yin was stunned at first, then she didn't know what she thought of. She chuckled, nodded, and finally looked at the peaceful and happy family in the house. Then she took a step forward and disappeared on the spot with her husband in an instant.

The first Royal City Expo was held in the New Year of the 33rd year of the Pale Calendar, and it has a history of 30 years.
The "30th Royal City Expo" is still held in the Black Messenger Square in Amberspet. As early as half a month ago, the square had begun to be decorated and a huge and magnificent venue was temporarily built.
Early this morning, the entire royal city was filled with a lively and cheerful atmosphere.
Countless local residents and outsiders rushed to the expo just to witness the new products that would be exhibited at the expo.
Of course, more importantly, it is to personally participate in this annual imperial grand event... This is an event that the people of the empire are particularly proud of.
But what most people don’t know is that the essence of the “Royal City Expo” is actually the “mutual exchange of what we have” between the planets Beretania and Azure.
The two worlds had already been unified under the might of Chen Lun. Although they were separated on two planets, the ruling classes of both sides in the mortal world, such as the royal family of Trisul and the Church of Dawn, the Azure Federation and the Holy Church, respected each other and united voluntarily.
Therefore, the "shrine" and "game" became the "channels" for both parties, allowing them to go to each other's territory at any time to maintain close contact and cooperation.
"Exhibition" is a means and method that is placed on the table and can be more easily accepted by the general public.
The two worlds have long been cooperating, benefiting from it, and progressing together.
The church's "Dawn Baptism" is a way to select "residents", allowing the outstanding people of the Beretania world to go to the Azure Federation... As for the Azure Federation, they can still come to the Beretania world through the "game", but the supervision is much stricter than before.
"Players" must abide by local laws and regulations. If they violate the rules and regulations, even if they are offline, they will still be hunted down by the Supernatural Department of the Azure Federation and bear the relevant legal responsibilities.
The expo was packed with people.
A man and a woman dressed in black were strolling leisurely there.
"My dear, the world is a better place..."
Flo Yin walked gently through the exhibition booths, looking at the "concept products" that had not yet been officially launched, and couldn't help but sigh.
From electric cars and mobile homes to mobile phone bracelets... there are even some popular clothes, accessories and toys in the Azure Federation.
"Um."
Chen Lun smiled and nodded.
Soon, his eyes were drawn to one of the booths.
That was a booth located in the "clothing area". On the exquisite wooden table with withered flowers were placed many "trendy styles" of women's dresses in extremely bright colors. There were also many modern craft accessories originating from the Azure Federation, but its advanced aesthetic design made it difficult for most of the imperial people to accept it for the time being.
For example, translucent long skirts and color-changing underwear, etc., made many ladies who came to the exhibition shout that it was a bad moral and walked away quickly... However, there were many gentlemen who lingered in front of the booth and were reluctant to leave.
Of course, this is also due to the contribution of several female staff members. They all wore belly-baring shirts and miniskirts, and their long legs were covered with white stockings, which is extremely eye-catching in today's era.
Chen Lun walked forward and took a good look.
When he saw a female model wearing extremely "trendy" black stockings and posing in various seductive poses beside the booth, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Flo Yin stood by, glanced at her husband in surprise, and then stared deeply at the various clothes on the booth for a while.
"My beautiful and noble lady, these are the women's products and clothing designed by the 'Blue Company' on the display cabinet. If you are interested, you may want to pick a few and try them out... Believe me, your husband will be impressed by your charm."
The women's products in the display cabinet were so "advanced" that no one among the ladies and young ladies attending the exhibition was interested in them. Perhaps it was because she noticed that the lady in the black dress in front of her looked "interested" in them that one of the female cashiers' eyes lit up and she spoke with a smile.
However, Flo Yin smiled politely and responded calmly:
"Thank you, but that's not necessary."
"What a shame... You have a perfect figure. If you were to wear these clothes, you would definitely be more attractive."
The female teller said with a look of regret.
"Really not going to try it, Flo Yin?"
At this time, Chen Lun turned his head, looked at his wife with interest and asked.
"don't want."
Flo Yin looked at the expectation in her husband's eyes, her cheeks flushed, she gave him a coquettish look, then took his hand and left quickly.
Chen Lun sighed "regrettably".
The strange thing is that from beginning to end, no one noticed the existence of the gentleman in the black hat. Even after the two men left, the female tellers and the exhibitors around them did not feel anything unusual.
This is because Chen Lun is too powerful and cannot descend as a physical entity to walk around the world of Beretania. All that Floyin sees and touches is some unspeakable power.
She is the only one who can see and sense the presence of her husband.
Even the image of her husband was just a past image left in Floyin's mind... Even as the "Moon Goddess", she could not look directly at her husband's true face, otherwise she would lose control due to incomprehension.
certainly…
With Chen Lun's omniscience and omnipotence, the interaction and contact between the two will not be affected.
Because the husband in Florin's eyes was not an illusion, but a connection on another level, a connection beyond the spiritual level, which others could not perceive at all.
Afterwards, the two of them wandered around the expo for several hours, seeing all kinds of interesting merchandise... During this process, they discovered a very interesting booth.
The booth was selling capsule hats, which were also cutting-edge technology products from the "Zhanlan Company".
“You just need to press this button, and the peanut-sized capsule in your hand will expand and turn into a brand new hat… If you want to store it, just press it again below the brim, and it will turn back into a capsule.”
The teller wearing a top hat was vividly introducing several capsules in his palm to the crowd. These capsules were very small, but gave people a sense of exquisiteness.
"There are many styles of hats, for men and women, with round tops and flat tops, straw hats, wide-brimmed hats, leather hats, etc. If you want to..."
Having said that, the teller stopped talking abruptly and uttered a light "eh".
The male teller looked past the circle of gentlemen and ladies in front of him and looked at the lady with long blond hair and black dress standing quietly behind him. He couldn't help but smile, touched his mustache, and saluted her with his hand on his chest.
"Welcome to Oscar's Hat House, Ms. Pale... and, of course, Mr. Infinite - I am honored to have you both here."
Oscar said respectfully.
She knew very well that Mr. Infinity must be there too... Although she couldn't see him, or even sense any trace of him, but seeing the pale lady "Moon Goddess" Floin holding her arm, she knew that this great being must be beside her.
The people in front of the hat booth seemed not to hear Oscar's words, and naturally ignored Floin's existence. It seemed that at this moment, the crowd in the scene became a background board, leaving only the two sides.
“What an interesting product.”
Flo Yin walked forward, took a capsule from Oscar's hand, looked it over, and commented with a smile.
"Yes, that's what I thought when I first saw this little gadget..."
Oscar smiled and pressed the capsule in his hand as if he was giving a demonstration.
There was a slight "bang" sound, and within a few tenths of a second, the capsule expanded like a balloon and turned into a black flat-top hat, which Oscar then skillfully put on his head.
"Is this the technology from Azure Star?"
Flo Yin followed suit and activated the capsule in her hand, which unfolded into a lady's pale purple wide-brimmed hat.
She played with the hat curiously and asked Oscar again.
"That's right."
Oscar stroked his mustache and nodded.
She suddenly discovered that a black-hatted figure suddenly appeared beside the pale lady Floin, the "Moon Goddess"... Oscar immediately realized that it was "Mr. Infinity" who had exerted an influence on him, so he could "see" the other party's existence.
"Oscar, it seems that your life is really boring. You are actually a hat merchant and 'playing around'..."
The gentleman in the black hat said with a smile.
Oscar shook his head helplessly and saluted Mr. Infinity once again.
"Thanks to your protection, the two worlds are now thriving, and in the mysterious realm, the gods are each doing their own job. As the 'fate follower god', I don't need to worry about it anymore..."
Of course Chen Lun knew this, he just made a little joke, but he didn't expect Oscar to answer so seriously... It can be seen that the other party's attitude towards him is respectful and respectful to the extreme.
He thought for a moment, raised his hand, took out a plain leather booklet, and handed it to Oscar.
Oscar was startled at first, then took it with both hands.
When she saw the words on the cowhide notebook, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and looked at Mr. Infinity with a puzzled look, as if asking what this meant.
On the leather notebook, there are a few big words written:
Zuo Fei's Adventure
"Great Mr. Infinity, what are you doing..."
Oscar couldn't help but speak.
"My true self has gone to the end of the universe behind the Gate of the End. From now on, you will need to take care of the little one's growth..."
Chen Lun chuckled.
"Oscar, you are the most powerful being in the current Path of Destiny. It is most appropriate for you to be the host of 'this script'."
Oscar raised his brow.
At this moment, she understood Mr. Wuxian's intention.
The other party wanted me to be the executor of the "script" to "tune" that proud girl...
Oscar didn't dare to refuse and quickly agreed.
"I think I know, Mr. Infinity."
For some reason, she felt a sense of anticipation in her heart.
After decades of "boring life", she no longer needed to pay attention to the seal of the Eternal Sleeper Sebastian Pardo, nor did she need to worry about the safety of the world. She spent the whole day looking for fun in the mortal world, and often went to the Azure Star to take a look... But after a long time, she still felt bored.
Now, Mr. Infinite's commission may help me regain my motivation.
Oscar opened the small leather book and read a few pages, and was deeply shocked by the contents.
She couldn't help but raise her eyes again and said hesitantly:
"Mr. Infinity, the cast of this 'script' is really... well, it really surprises me."
The names of the gods are listed prominently.
"Well... you need to connect them. Of course, you can use my name when necessary. I don't think they will refuse."
Chen Lun said calmly with a smile on his face.
"Okay, Mr. Infinity."
Oscar also smiled expectantly.
The relationship between the gods is very good, and they all like Zuo Fei very much. In fact, even if the title of "Mr. Infinity" is not used, the gods will be happy to play a good show with this "Son of God".
"Please rest assured that I will follow the development of the script faithfully and ask the gods to train little Zuo Fei well so that she can grow up as soon as possible and become a qualified 'Goddess of Destiny'."
Oscar said solemnly.
Chen Lun glanced at his wife, then shook his head at Oscar.
"You are still the same as before, unwilling to become a god... Well, let nature take its course. As for whether little Zuo Fei can ascend to the throne of god in the future, it is not important. What is important is that she can understand some truths from this 'script'."
"Yes, I will read the script carefully and take action after understanding your meaning."
Oscar lowered his head and spoke slowly.
When she raised her eyes again, she found that Mr. Infinite and Ms. Pale had disappeared.
Oscar couldn't help but smile, with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"Poor little Zuo Fei, Uncle Oscar can't help you this time..."
As the descendant of the supreme and powerful being, little Zuo Fei is happy, but also "unfortunate".

It is late at night.
On the top floor of a large hotel chain in Wangcheng.
Flo Yin, wearing a lace nightgown and long light golden hair, stood on the balcony, nestled in her husband's arms.
"The fate you arranged for little Zuo Fei... won't be very difficult, right?"
She spoke worriedly.
As a mother, Flo Yin naturally cares about her daughter, but because her husband is so powerful, she dare not ask for too much.
But Chen Lun just chuckled.
"Fate... I never planned to arrange her fate."
He said, shaking his head.
Perhaps because of his own personal experience, he hated the feeling of being controlled by fate, so he would never interfere with his daughter's fate without authorization.
"And what is the 'script'...?"
Flo Yin was a little surprised.
"It's just a game."
Chen Lun said this, looking down at his wife and sighing.
"My situation is very special, as you know... Zuo Fei is still too weak, and I can't be like a normal father and accompany her to grow up."
Flo Yin's eyes darkened.
She understood what her husband said.
Her husband is too powerful. Even though Zuo Fei is already an angel, it is still difficult for her to have long-term contact with her father. If she is not careful, she will be affected and lose control.
"This script, let's just think of it as the 'companionship' that I've been missing for these years..."
Chen Lun smiled.
"It's normal for a father to play a game with his daughter."
Seeing this, Fuluoyin also smiled with relief.
She didn't know what she was thinking about, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.
"Just a moment, dear."
Flo Yin left her husband's arms and whispered.
"Um?"
Chen Lun was puzzled.
Flo Yin gave him a mysterious smile, then turned and went back to the room.
Not long.
When she appeared again, Chen Lun's eyes lit up.
Under the black gauze pajamas, the pair of long legs were covered with a layer of stockings shining with pale moonlight, sparkling and magnificent.
"At the Expo, you seemed to be very interested in this little thing..."
Flo Yin pursed her lips and spoke softly.
Chen Lun couldn't help but laugh happily a few times.
"You still understand me, Flo Yin."
As he said this, he picked her up and walked quickly into the room as his wife screamed.
Soon, bursts of pleasant "singing" were heard from inside.
Accompanied by the bright moonlight, it creates a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
A slightly panting female voice came from the room again:
"Honey, how about we have another one?"
"I'm afraid not..."
"What if I put on the bunny ears?"
"Well, what does this have to do with bunny ears..."
