Chapter 7. Escaping The Mountains...

##################################

In Night time...

The Sound of Rapid and Heavy Breathing echoed in the Cave.

Everyone's eyes focused on the Cris, and what they saw was his face that was extremely pale and his body that is constantly shaking.

Inside The Mirror...

"Father and Mother both died, two of us are only left alive. But worry not I will protect You..."

The Cris's body trembled as he held the crying baby in his arms. His words to calm the child were not just to soothe the baby, but also to calm his own nerves.

Despite not having blood ties and any relations, he felt a sense of vulnerability and tenderness as he held the small, helpless infant close to him, whose cries gradually subsided as the Cris continued to hold and comfort him.

Outside The Mirror...

Seeing this scene, the Onlookers outside the mirror were all moved.

"He's still scared..."

"His courage should come from the baby in his arms...", Someone sighed deeply.

He is child who is only five years old has an ignorant mind and his parents are ordinary people. Even if he has a talent for Swordmanship, no one has trained him.

Cris Darkstar, the Heavenly Emperor who came later in future was invincible and undefeated in the world and dominates the world, but at this moment, he is an ordinary child after all.

How Can He Not To Be Afraid...!

At this moment, everyone was a little moved.

Compared to the Adult Heavenly Emperor who was Ruthless in temperament and has unparalleled Courage.

This Young Heavenly Emperor who is obviously is afraid, but he overcomes his fear because of the baby in his arms, is undoubtedly more humane and good, and more moving than adult.

"The Emperor of Heaven at this time is still a Poor and Helpless Boy.", Someone sighed in a low voice.

But Quickly, Lot of Onlookers let out some Sarcastic Sentences.

The Adult Emperor of Heaven was brutal, He slaughtered Many beings, and for his own selfish desires, there was even a Case where almost destroyed An Race. For the people around him, his relatives, brothers, and lovers, he was even more extremely cruel on them.

Just Counting about the evil things the Emperor of Heaven has done in his life is horrifying...

If such a person is also worthy of being labeled as Helpless and Poor,then how ironic this is...!

After uttering these words, a noticeable shift occurred in the room. Some individuals were visibly moved, their eyes glistening with tears,But again turned indifferent, their eyes devoid of any emotion.

Inside the Mirror, the Young Heavenly Emperor walked out of the cave, looked around, and then ran down the mountain with low and sound less steps.

"It seems that he also understands that this Mountain Far More Dangerous..."

"Staying in the Mountains, at this moment, then he and baby will only die."

"But going down the Mountain is not a wise move. Under the night, it is the time when the Demonic beasts are More active. If He is going down the mountain now, and he will die. He should at least wait until dawn..."

"He can wait, can the baby wait....?

"Perhaps the most important reason for him to go down the mountain is to find food for the baby to eat...."

All Onlookers were silent...

The Young Heavenly Emperor, who just for the sake of the baby, mustered up the courage to fight against the beast, is escaping the mountains at night for the baby again.

Inside The Mirror...

Cris ran all the way, but he never saw a beast.

After for nearly three hours, he finally reached the base of the towering mountain. In the distance, he could see faint flickering lights that signaled the presence of a small town. The air was crisp and cool, and the only sounds were the rustling of leaves and the occasional hoot of an owl.

In the Cold Winter, the snow was flying, and the ground was covered with a layer of snow.

Young Boy running towards town. He looked to be no more than Six years old, with a skinny frame and a bruised face.

Despite the cold weather, he wore thin clothing that offered little protection from the elements. In his arms, he held a small bundle wrapped in a dry, hard cloth. Upon closer inspection, it was a baby, tightly swaddled and nestled against the boy's chest.

The boy's eyes were closed, and his body shook with shivers, as he tried to keep the baby warm.

"It's So Cold, But Where I Can Find Food..."

He tossed and turned in the corner, trying to get some warmth.He glanced at the empty alley, then looked down at the baby in his hands, and sighed: "Forget about Cold, let's Find Food For Baby..."

" But How, I Don't know Anyone here..."

As Cris held the delicate little baby in their arms, he couldn't help but notice the baby's tiny face scrunch up in frustration and start crying. It became apparent that the little one was hungry and needed to be fed soon.

"I Can Only Beg to Someone For Food..."

"The New Year's Eve is here, and Everyone is celebrating the New Year's reunion, Who can give me alms...?"

As Cris made his way down the narrow road, he suddenly heard a loud crash. Startled, he turned around to find a broken bowl lying on the ground. As he bent over to pick it up, he felt the soft goose down snow falling on his face. Despite the cold, he couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility of Baby as he continued his walk into the town ahead.

When passing by a house, the lights were bright, and there was laughter and laughter of family reunion.Hearing the sound, the boy stopped in the snow.

He saw the family inside the fire through the crack of the door, showing a lonely look. Memories Of his parents dying came in mind.

After a while, the boy sighed softly, gone towards house and knocked on the door.

The womens of the family were busy inside the house preparing celebration for New Year, they suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Curious, one of them approached the door and found Cris standing there. He looked desperate and helpless and his body was full wounds, holding a crying baby in his arms. Upon being asked about his purpose, Cris pleaded with the woman to help him feed hungry baby.

The woman couldn't ignore the pitiful state of both the Cris and the baby, and with a heart full of sympathy, she handed him a bottle of milk.

Outside The Mirror...

There was an uproar in the Outside world. Cris, the Emperor Of Heaven Nine, actually begged to Someone For Baby who has no relations with him... ?

" Is This Really Emperor Of Heaven...?"

" E-Emperor be-begged Someone...!"

Upon witnessing the situation, Eve's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. There was her brother, who was Ruthless and Cruel to her, he was humbly begging others for her. The way He held his head down, the tone of his voice, and the look of desperation in his eyes all spoke of a person who had been pushed to his limits.

"Then Why... You Changed Afterwards...", She muttured in heart.
