Chapter 888: Chapter 876 Why Do My Eyes Often Hold Tears? Chapter 888: Chapter 876 Why Do My Eyes Often Hold Tears? In the central region of the Senapus Subcontinent, tens of thousands of meters above the earth, the Floating City, created from the transformation of one hundred and thirty-two Cloud Islands, hangs amidst the skies in a meticulously regular formation.

In Muria’s plans, Xena Pus would become the capital of his impending empire, a capital that could move at will, in no way inferior to the capitals of the other Ten Great Empires.

“In just three years, they will be born, source power is truly marvelous!” At the highest point of Cloud City in Xena Pus, Muria stood in the sky garden, looking down at the vast expanse of land below, a look of emotion in his eyes.

His eldest son Aeolus had been carried by Michaela for a full twenty-four years before his birth. Now, Michaela, using source power, had conceived triplets in just three years.

Moreover, in Muria’s senses, each of his three daughters possessed a life force stronger than their brother Aeolus; they would have a higher starting point than their brother.

“The times are changing!” Muria looked up at the sky; as the birth of his daughters drew near, he could sense some very peculiar changes. The rules were shifting, and he could feel that on the day of his daughters’ birth, something special would happen.

…

Boom!

At dawn, a platinum light pillar shot out from Cloud City, piercing the sky. The tremendous light pillar entered the heavens, completely dispelling the darkness of night that still lingered above Xena Pus.

The residents of Xena Pus, living beneath Cloud City, all looked up, feeling the concentration of elements in the atmosphere soar at an astonishing rate. Near Cloud City, Element Sprites even began to condense.

While the people of Xena Pus were staring bewildered at the sacred and vast city overhead, uncertain of what had happened.

Boom! Boom!

Following the first light pillar, a golden light pillar and a pure white light pillar shot towards the sky, three light pillars moving side by side, creating a spectacularly huge Elemental Vortex above, as fearsome elements were attracted from the elemental realms.

…

In the courtyard of Cloud City, within a holy basin of vast and pure water, Michaela revealed a massive true form that was no less impressive than Muria’s Titan Body; she, who had just given birth, was rapidly devouring the accumulated divine power from this temporarily constructed Pool of Holy Light.

Around her, three adorable infants sat quietly in the water, holding crystalline Elemental Essences, beginning to replenish themselves with their first meal after birth.

The three columns of light piercing the sky were emanations from their bodies, a spectacle formed by the attraction of elements, a force that not only showed no signs of stopping but was also gradually expanding.

Swirling around the vast Elemental Vortex formed by the three light pillars were thunder, hurricanes, incandescent divine flames, imperious golden dragon fire – as these three noble beings came into the world, things that had been gestating for them for a long time descended.

Three crystal-clear, different-colored, multifaceted crystal cores appeared before the three princesses destined for supreme honor and quickly moved towards their foreheads to integrate into their bodies, primed to leap their life levels significantly.

The small-statured girl, with exceedingly delicate features, soaked in the pool, holding a crystal core as large as her own body. Pure divine power surged ceaselessly from this core, entering her body as she continually consumed the divine power from within the crystal, with her five pairs of wings gradually unfurling behind her.

As the crystal core imbued with the power of sacred rules approached her, the shadow of a sixth pair of wings emerged behind the girl. This shadow became more defined with the crystal’s approach, almost manifesting into reality.

Clang!

But just as this supremely holy crystal core was about to merge with the girl’s forehead, a battle sword wrapped in crimson Blazing God Flame appeared out of nowhere, shattering the Divine Attribute that tried to merge with his daughter.

Similarly, next to another girl with distinct dragon features, another Divine Attribute wrapped in the power of rules and about to merge with her forehead was crushed by a hand clad in armor.

“Divine Attributes descending!” Muria turned to look at his third daughter and paused, a genuine smile on his face.

Because his third daughter did not need her parents’ concern. The black-haired baby girl, when the Divine Attribute was about to merge with her, clenched her tiny fist and smashed it onto the Divine Attribute.

“Excellent!” Muria, having crushed a Divine Attribute, saw his third daughter repel one with her fist and immediately exclaimed in approval.

The appearance of these three Divine Attributes had some similarities to when the grandmother Yarista returned from her descent, yet there were differences. However, the general reason was the same because his three daughters had the qualifications to become deities.

They had come into this world at the cost of a drop of source power. So, on the moment of their birth, they had the opportunity to become deities.

But Muria certainly would not let his daughters achieve godhood. If his daughters were to ascend to godhood now, they would definitely rank at the very bottom among deities, especially without any believers.

This situation was naturally unacceptable to Muria, but because of this, his three daughters had just been born, merely possessing some rudimentary consciousness.

For deific attributes, which could elevate one’s life level merely by merging with them, it stands to reason that they would not have any sense of resistance. Thus, it required Muria and Michaela to step in to forcibly shatter the Divine Attribute.

Muria had planned to take action himself, but unexpectedly, his third daughter, distinctly marked with Titan traits, swung her fist and repelled the Divine Attribute the world was condensing for her.

This did not mean she now possessed power rivaling Muria and Michaela, but rather her punch represented her own will, she did not wish to become a deity, and thus, the Divine Attribute naturally flew away. Unless something unforeseen happened, the Divine Attribute would not appear before her again.

Boom-boom-boom—
Just as Muria was feeling happy, above Cloud City, a sky-shattering thunder descended! It tore through the vortex of elements naturally attracted by his daughter’s birth, striking towards the Cloud City of Michaela.

Because Muria and Michaela took action to smash the Divine Attribute that was about to merge with their two daughters, they too had violated certain rules, and now, the punishment from the world was upon them!

Screech!

As Muria was preparing to step out of Cloud City to face the punishment from the world, a sharp screech emanated from the Wind King Castle below, and then, the thunderous mass that was ready to fall from the sky, as thick as continuous mountain ranges, simply faded into nothing.

“Thanks!” The Dragon Titan Form of Muria, wielding the Prison-suppression halberd with eight exclusive weapons orbiting behind him, was now fully armed. However, the punishment he treated so seriously dissipated into thin air beneath the screech of some salted fish eagle that knew only how to sleep all day long.

“Gladys Mikaer Elonsas Yeapatos!” Just then, a tender female voice came from behind, and without a second word, Muria disarmed himself and walked into the palace behind him. His daughter had begun to chant her True Name.

“Tiffany Elonsas Yeapatos Michael!” Muria entered the palace just in time to see his second daughter, clearly marked with dragon traits, beginning to recite her True Name.

“Ketiya Yeapatos Michael Elonsas!” Then Muria followed Michaela’s gaze to their third daughter, who had just been born and had refused divinity out of her own volition.

Witnessing each of his three daughters recite their True Names, Muria made no effort to conceal his joy, laughing heartily.

“Proclaim my command, today is the day of my three daughters’ birth, henceforth to be known as a sacred day; from this day onward, all territories under my command shall have a holiday each year on this day!”

Since he had not officially established an empire, Muria referred to the regions he ruled as territories,
“Now, all my subjects, celebrate the birth of my daughters, the three Princesses of Senapus!”

With Muria’s command given, a festive atmosphere spread from the upper echelons of Senapus, and then swiftly branched out, engulfing the entire Senapus Subcontinent.

…

Senapus Subcontinent, the eastern part, Thousands of Cities!

Because of the widespread use of magic technology and Teleportation Arrays, one hour after Muria issued his celebration command, the joyful atmosphere reached this academy city rich in scholastic ambience. Waves after waves of cheering submerged the city.

The main force of the cheers naturally came from its students. One reason was that they would have a day off. However, this was not the main reason, for according to some Academic Overlords, an extra day off meant they had one less day for education, which was nothing to rejoice about.

But even so, those devoted to studying began cheering as well, for along with the command for a holiday, a reward from Senapus accompanied it—not much, just 100 gold coins each. But the key point lay in its universal distribution—every high school student could receive this gift known as the King’s pleasure.

“Praise be to the Princesses, Your Highnesses!” Even though they were unaware of the names or appearances of Muria’s three daughters, praises similar to worship resounded throughout the academia and across the Senapus Subcontinent at this moment, for the King’s pleasure was a windfall for the less fortunate families.

Inside a high school classroom, a black-haired youth with golden pupils heard about his forthcoming day off. Observing the 100 gold coins just deposited into his account and listening to the adulation of his classmates towards the three newly-born princesses, a wave of inexplicable sorrow washed over him.

“Hey, Aeolus, why are you crying?” At that moment, a pretty girl noticed the tears of the Academic Overlord who was also the class heartthrob, and she exclaimed in surprise.

“Hm!” Aeolus, who was suddenly overcome with a sorrowful emotion, touched the corner of his eye and found, to his bewilderment, that there were indeed tears streaming down his face.

“Why are you suddenly crying? And it’s so strange, crying from just one eye!” As the girl exclaimed, many of his classmates took notice of Aeolus’ unusual state, looking at him with astonished eyes.

“I… don’t know!” Aeolus replied somewhat vaguely. He did not understand why he felt so sad, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
