Although Feicui Long, in this life, can be seen as a machine trying to act like a human being, that's not always the case...
On the contrary, in his first life it is totally different. Despite him being very strict in his temple or in the balance of this universe, the closest people to him know this is not the case.
In reality, Feicui Long was a very loving person with a big heart for his sisters and brothers, his master Mariane and his disciples, but also for his believers and the citizens of his empire.
For example, he really likes to hug his sisters and caress their heads. Even Mariane sees this facet of him.
Another example is in his temple. Although he is very demanding of his worshippers and temple members, it is because he believes in effort, resilience and willpower. Talent is highly valued, but these three things aren't valued too much. Also, he always wanted the best for his worshippers, for them to be the strongest, the most intelligent, for them to reach the peak.
But even with that, he gave them opportunities, many opportunities, protection, a house to take refuge in, a family to belong to and live in, but also gifted things to them that very few other gods could give. This is why his temple was the strongest in the universe, not only because of his policies, but also because of the loyalty of his temple to him.
This is why his temple has been falling apart in some places, because the only way for one to get his worshippers and temple members to abandon their faith is killing them, so Adolf and his temple, with the help of the Feilou clan, are pursuing systematically his temple.
...
Feicui Long, he was a god, a supreme god, the strongest being in the universe, second only to his master, the creator of this universe.
Because of this, he never thought he was going to be hurt so badly in any life, much less in his first life. Although he had seen many tragedies, deaths and very moving events.
He doesn't care, as long as it does not destroy the balance of the universe. He doesn't care, because this universe is big and has so many lives, so many civilizations and forces, that if he were to think about each life lost in the universe, he is never going to end.
But also because this is natural, somebody has to die, somebody has to live, this is the normal. In order to live, one being has to die for another to survive, whether it be for food or other resources. This is normal, because even if the universe has enough resources now, and the resources can restore over time thanks to the energy coming from the infinity sea, in one moment the number of beings can surpass the regeneration of the resources, causing the universe to begin to fall in a spiral of desolation.
So why he doesn't stop the bad people or even eliminate them? To begin, what is bad or good? There's not just good and bad, there are so many gray tones and neutral people. If you were to kill every person who has done something bad, you'd have to kill almost the whole universe.
However, that is not the only reason. Like he said, how do you define what is good and what is bad? A beast killing a mortal for food is good for the beast and the beast clan, but for the mortal clan it is a bad thing. Is trying to survive a bad thing? A person who kills the thief who wants to hurt his family, is that a bad thing?
Or is killing not a bad thing? Robbing money from a family to feed your family is good? After all, that family is rich, right? But what if I say, that family is not really rich and that money is the savings to treat their children and save their lives? But if you don't steal that money, your kids are the ones who will die.
Bad or good, a never-ending debate, but more important, both of them are a necessary part of existence and the balance in this universe or any other. There's no life if there's no death, there are no happy things if there are no sad things, a thing can't have an origin if there's no end. Without destruction, creation cannot have space to make new things. Without chaos, how can order exist?
Death, life and rebirth/reincarnation, all are a cycle and need each other in order to thrive. The same thing is with the infernal, celestial and limbo law. If the infernal part disappears, the celestial law can be pretty tyrannical...
But even if Feicui Long knows this, and even if others called him a hypocrite, losing a loved person hurts, hurts so much. When he was a Supreme God, he could not fully understand the pain of people who lost a loved being.
When he was in the extrauniversal war between this universe and the Feilou clan, a force in the multiversal rank and a force in the rank - Absolute, grade four stars, they had 20 universes and one multiverse. Because of the scale of the war, he had no time to cry, but now... now he can only cry, cry like a little kid, because it hurts, it hurts so much...
Even though Feicui Long didn't have parents in the first life, since the divine authority gods are normally born from the power of the universe with their authority, they can be born of any races, with the exception of the ones centered in a clan, like the plant clan, beast clan, dragon clan, infinity clan or supreme clan. There are some more, but it is not that important, because normally their supreme god born is going to be a member of that clan. But like everything in life, there are exceptions. So yes, any divine authority god can be from any race, although in some cases that is rare to happen.
Fernando is his brother, but also his best friend. The connection between both brothers is bigger and stronger. Feicui Long was in Fernando's darkest moments, supported him, also Feicui Long saw how Fernando grew and raised him, trained him. Both shared a great part of their lives.
So for Feicui Long, Fernando was more than a special person, he was part of his soul and heart.
It is in this moment when the flooding memories in Feicui Long's mind begin to show in flashbacks. The pain takes over Feicui Long, making him grab his head in pain, as he cries.
Isabella, heartbroken by the departure of her god and by seeing her love crying, worries and quickly goes to his side, touching Feicui Long.
It is in this moment, Isabella and Feicui Long establish a connection... a connection that lets Isabella see several images... coming from Feicui Long's memories.
...
The first she sees is... a baby with a human form. The baby has emerald eyes and emerald hair. In front of the baby stands a woman, an elf woman with white hair, between 1.8 meters (5.91 feet) and 1.75 meters (5.74 feet). The woman has sapphire eyes and a beautiful smile.
The woman said to the baby: "Here you are, you are the first life of my universe and my first supreme god. You are really quick, you came before even the universe's conscience could awaken and take form. Sure, you are a fast one."
From behind the woman, a maid made her appearance and said: "But young lady! This little guy has three divine authorities... that's two supreme gods less... you can't let that happen, it's not good for this universe."
The young lady replied with a calm attitude: "That's not a problem, Agnes. Two or three more won't change much. Also, quantity is not always better than quality. See, you know what happened to the Sacred Palace of the Stellar Sky. Even if we had the numbers on our side, that didn't help so much."
Then the young lady takes the baby in her arms and added: "Also, I can't do it either. Don't you see, Agnes?"
After saying that, she showed the baby to Agnes. Agnes opened her mouth in surprise at the cute and beautiful baby.
In the next moment, the young lady, looking at Agnes, said: "Do you see it? You can't kill something so cute like this. Even an ugly baby, I can't kill it, so I won't do it."
The lady looked at the baby and said: "I am Selene Skystars, heiress of the now disappeared Sacred Palace of the Stellar Sky, and your name is gonna be..."
The woman touches her head only to say next: "How is it said? Aaa, I don't remember."
Then the woman's eyes light up: "Yes, you are emerald dragon, right? Now I remember how it's said, you are Zumulu Long..."
The woman stopped and frowned, then said: "No, that name is very ugly. I am going to call you Feicui Long. I know you are emerald, but the alternative is calling you green, and that is worse. Also, emerald and jade are two beautiful gems. I think you can understand when you grow up."
Agnes, very confused, looked at her young lady and said: "Is a dragon? Doesn't a dragon be born with the dragon form? I know that divine authority gods are not born from a mother or father, but this can't be an exception, right?"
Selene let out a mischievous giggle and said: "It's because this is an original dragon. The original species of each clan, especially the dragons, can be born in any of their three or two forms: so a human, a western dragon, an eastern dragon."
Agnes then blushed with embarrassment and returned to the palace.
The lady and the baby Feicui Long also go into the palace.
This scene ends the memory.
...
Then a new image comes. It is a little kid with emerald hair and... emerald eyes? At this moment his eyes have changed a lot. Now that black pupil of a dragon-like rift is splitting the eye in two, the left part amethyst and the right part emerald, with two golden clock hands running like a real clock. The eye also has golden symbols on the edge of the iris, which clearly are numbers.
This time, Feicui Long is training while Selene is looking from the distance.
After a few minutes, Selene stands up and goes to Feicui Long's place and says: "That's not good, Feicui Long, you need to do it like this."
Selene slashed her sword in a swift and elegant move, unleashing a celestial energy slash.
Feicui Long then imitated his master's move, and Selene nods and said: "You are a quick learner, aren't you?"
Selene caressed Feicui Long's head.
...
The memory changes.
Feicui Long is in a very magnificent garden, full of life, with many treasures. Feicui Long is sitting at the side of his master in silence.
is master starts to speak: "You know, Feicui Long, this view was a common view in the omniverse of my family. The Sacred Palace protects their people and lets them live a magnificent life. I can't return to my omniverse, but this garden reminds me of my home."
Then Selene takes a plate and gives it to Feicui Long. The plate has cookies and a cup of tea. Next, Selene said: "Eat, Feicui Long, these little moments in life are really good to enjoy. You never know when it's going to end..."
...
The memory changes again, showing now an adolescent Feicui Long. Selene is at a desk with Feicui Long sitting in front of her. She is saying: "You really don't need to help me with this."
Feicui Long shakes his head and said: "I need to help my master, that is why I was born. Also, master, didn't you say before that you really enjoy my company?"
Selene blushes a bit, turns her head around with both arms crossed and said whispering: "You little mischievous brat, mocking your master like that..."
Feicui Long and Selen, along with Agnes Blake the maid and the nanny the guardian of the palace, also with the universe conscience, Caelia Astralis, who awakened a little time ago, and the divine sovereign, Lucretia Maxima, who was born also a little time ago, lived alone for many years, many years.
...
Until one day his master said: "Feicui Long! Feicui Long, I need you to go pick up the newborn."
Feicui Long, confused, said: "Newborn?"
Selene nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, the newborn Supreme God. Can you go and pick it up?"
Selene stopped for a moment, sensing something, and then said: "Actually, there are two Supreme Gods born, so can you go for both?"
