5)Talk and Observations (2/2)

"What do you mean, a god above all the gods of our world?" Yin Xia asked curiously as she gently stroked Dugu Xin.

Erym looked at her and slowly deactivated the transformation into Arceus "The gods of our world only have a reach to our universe while Arceus is a god beyond our universe, a god that has observed existence for countless years, since before our universe even existed" Erym words shocked the trio, none could understand how such an existence could exist and how the universe really was, but they understood that the gods could control the world at will and their power could not be comparable to the mortals of the world.

Of course, the latter falls short when talking about certain people, such as the chosen ones of the world like Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin and the like, Tang San does not count since his first reincarnation was all planned by God Shura and his second reincarnation was perfect calculations on his part, as well as a lot of luck.

"Why do you have the Martial Soul of such a being?" asked a curious and surprised Dugu Xin.

At his question Erym remained silent, as he himself did not know or understand.

He knew from his best friend that in many douluo fanfics there were Martial Souls that related to other worlds, but all of these were produced by the power of a system.

"The truth is, I don't know. Divine Martial Souls are not governed by the same rules as other martial souls, these can appear in any being as it depends on the god or entity that chooses you" Erym knew he was talking beyond what a 6 year old could express, but he himself knew that people of this world in some cases mature very fast or have inheritances, as there are no clear records about Divine Martial Souls, one could attribute the great intelligence and insight to Arceus' blessing.

"You could say that I was just lucky to be chosen" said with natural calm Erym, his attitude had changed, in the last years he had a withdrawn and somewhat dark attitude, but since he woke up his whole person had been released, he had returned to be as he was before reincarnating, always calm and observant.

The three listened to his words and nodded in understanding, though they still wondered how anyone could be so lucky.

Dugu Bo wanted to continue asking more questions, but Yin Xia stepped forward and spoke first "well, enough asking, I'm hungry and so is Xin, besides the boy must be tired from everything that happened" coming to the end of his words he looked at Dugu Bo with critical eyes.

The not yet so old Dugu Bo could only smile bitterly as he nodded and left to make sure no one found them and on the way to get food, with the quick escape he didn't have food on him for everyone.

Although he is cold and distant with most people, his inner self is warm and gentle with the ones he loves and his family, more so with Yin Xia who had helped him accompany his son all these years.

Yin Xia smiled at Erym and then sat down next to her "Tell me Erym, do you have parents?" Even though she knew she probably didn't, she still wanted to ask.

Erym looked at her and noticed that Yin Xia was releasing a slight maternal air, this made her realize that she was already at the stage that she wanted to be a mother, she needed to give motherly affection.

Erym smiled slightly and shook her head "no, my mother died when she gave birth to me and my father disappeared before I was born" Erym words seemed to affect Yin Xia as the maternal air around her became thicker, something that only Erym seemed to notice.

"Poor child, it must have been difficult" Yin Xia gently caressed Erym head while hugging him, he didn't react much and let himself be hugged and caressed, not only he couldn't resist (as Yin Xia is a Soul King level 53), but he also didn't want to reject that maternal affection.

Although mentally and spiritually she is almost the same age as Yin Xia, her spirit had been molded to that of a child when she reincarnated, the instincts and feelings of a child desire that maternal affection, it is something that every living being in its infancy needs.

It could be said that Erym only retained the tranquility, observation and intelligence of when he was an adult, but all that maturity had been reduced to that of a child, Erym thought it was because Arceus wanted him to enjoy life.

Erym knew that he would need many years of interaction with Arceus to truly understand his actions.

Dugu Xin only smiled slightly, he knew long ago that Yin Xia wanted to be a mother, but he had been delaying that since he knew that if she gets pregnant, she would most likely die, but even that couldn't stop her for long, one of her greatest desires in life is to be a mother, even if she dies in the process.

After twenty minutes Dugu Bo returned and brought out food for everyone.

Dugu Bo noticed that the atmosphere had become more friendly and affectionate than when he left, when he returned he saw Erym talking happily and calmly with his son and daughter-in-law.

This situation made him feel a little out of place, after all he had brought the boy here to find out why he had this strange feeling.

After eating Yin Xia took Dugu Xin and Erym to bathe while Dugu Bo went to stand guard, as a Titled Douluo he doesn't need to bathe, eat or sleep regularly, he would be fine even if he goes months without that.

After two hours the sky turned crimson and everyone had already relaxed and calmed down completely, the minions of the Hall of Spirits and the Seven Treasures Clan had already been dispelled.

Dugu Bo did not assassinate anyone as that would alert his whereabouts and he did not need the attention of those two great forces at this time.
