Chương 4: Vlad Rurik

"I'm sorry, it's hard to keep calm, seeing Celeste like this…." Marek had a bitter face until he heard the voice of one of the women in charge of delivering his son. "It's started very well."

Meanwhile, outside Marek's palace.

A giant golden sphere was suspended in the air, floating and emitting such luminosity that every corner of the Rurik clan was illuminated. To say that only the Rurik clan noticed the giant sphere would be an understatement. All divine world Agora, even the nearby divine worlds, noticed it.

More and more people were coming to the location. People wondered what was happening. Saints, False Gods, and Low Gods even thought a treasure had awakened. On the other hand, the true experts knew this is a "sign of birth" that occurs when a child of God with superior talent is born. But, they had never seen anything of such magnitude.

A minute later, the golden sphere changed. Now, it was a Sun. There was also something special. The sphere gave off a mysterious power.

Patriarch Edek Rurik raised his voice so that everyone heard, "Those who have understood the law of light and the law of fire immediately enter into meditation. You may be in for a pleasant surprise."

90% of the clan got a huge boost in understanding both laws.

The Rurik clan was known as the Fire Gods clan.

All the direct descendants of the clan had similar characteristics; pale skin, redheads, and a flame-shaped birthmark in the middle of their forehead.

10 minutes…

30 minutes…

One hour later, the child finally came out. They immediately cut the umbilical cord, and something strange happened. The baby began to float, shining with an intense blinding golden light. Even the gods present in the room could not see what was happening. They tried using their divine sense and ended up injured. The golden light moved over Celeste, restoring her deteriorating health at incredible speed...

After everything returned to normal, the golden sun disappeared, or so everyone thought. The truth is that it did not disappear. It just entered the body of the little baby.

The huge sun became extremely small and placed itself above the baby's dantian. Not even Marek could detect it.

…

Celeste is currently breastfeeding her baby. Her face reflected the immense happiness she felt. After absorbing the golden light emitted by the baby, her body recovered to its optimal state.

Previously, she was in the middle stage of Lord God's realm. After absorbing the light, she entered the peak stage. This was significant progress.

"He is a beautiful boy. What is his name, Mr. Rurik?" asked the female alchemist.

"His name is Vlad Rurik…" Celeste answered. Of course, they didn't ask her, but she didn't care. She answered anyway.

Marek had a crazed smile on his face. He was extremely happy. Celeste recovered 100%, no, she should say 200%, since her cultivation progressed significantly.

'Little brat, I knew you're a blessing. Sorry for wanting to beat you up when you're older.'

"There are many people outside. Surely little Vlad likes to put on a show" Alicja has a bitter smile on her face.

The "sign of birth" was very conspicuous. It attracted too many people, not only from this divine world but from the nearby divine worlds. People with different types of cultivation were floating in the sky above the Rurik clan. Even some lonely old men had come out of their cave to take a look, so conspicuous was Vlad's birth. Without a doubt, it will be an event remembered by future generations.

The people of the Rurik clan were feeling nervous. The pressure that some of these old men emitted were truly terrifying. However, Marek was not afraid of any of them. First, he wanted to carry his son, and then he would go and ask them to get out. He doesn't have time to spare to entertain them.

"You don't have to worry, Mother. Those people can wait. None of them represents a threat to us. The most important thing is that Celeste and Vlad are fine."

Marek looked at the female alchemists and then at the women in charge of delivery, took out a strange brush, infused it with his divine power, and carved a strange symbol in the air.

'He carved a rune in the air?'

That was the question of all the women in the room. They all knew that a rune could only be "engraved and activated" when there was support, but at this moment, Marek recorded it in the air. That was something completely new for them.

Marek's voice brought them out of their daze. "Please take an oath not to tell anyone what happened in this room."

The women hesitated. 'What do you mean by "an oath"? Do we have to sign a contract?'

Marek spoke again, "You must say the following: I swear on my soul not to say anything about what happened today in this room. Is it simple, right?"

"Yes, my lord," replied the woman in charge of childbirth. The women then swore. Immediately, the rune glowed brightly as if responding to the oath.

The female alchemists were shocked.

"Lord Rurik, although our cultivation is inferior to yours, our status within the Divine Medicine Sect is not simple. It will be better for you and your clan not to try to force us." One of them said as she gave Marek a scornful look.

Although Marek's cultivation is high, they know he doesn't have powerful ancestors or someone to back him up, and the woman thinks he doesn't have enough to subdue her.

Marek has some powerful friends, but they wouldn't dare offend the Divine Medicine Sect. They weren't real friends, just friends of convenience.

"Hahaha, little bitch, if you think I dare not kill you… you are too naive or stupid, I have to offer old Broox (Sectmaster of the Divine Medicine Sect) a good gift, and nothing will happen. Now swear or die is your decision. Another thing, you will not be able to send messages. The barrier that surrounds my palace restricts everything."

Vlad's birth was followed by a highly unusual event. It would be dangerous if this spreads. Marek did not want to leave anything hanging.

Celeste and Vlad's safety is his priority.

Both women looked at each other and nodded.

"We will."

They knew old Broox. They knew he was a greedy old man. If someone paid him enough, he would sell his mother.

He was an evil God.

The same thing happened with the rune, a bright glow, then the rune disappeared.

Marek gave them a storage ring and told them. "Your soul will explode if you break the oath. You can try if you want. Thanks for your help. Go away".

He could finally hold the sleeping little baby, stared at him, and said, "Celeste, he definitely inherited your beauty. I hope he inherits my talent, hahaha."

Celeste pretended to be annoyed.

"Since you have a talentless and worthless woman, give me back my baby and go."

Knowing that he had said something wrong, Marek handed Vlad over to his mother, then hurried out of the room with the excuse that he had guests to attend to.

In the sky above the Rurik clan.

Thousands of cultivators had gathered. Edek was in charge of coming out to say hello.

He was currently talking to people when he suddenly felt Marek's presence.

"Thank you all for coming here. I am pleased to inform you that my son was born healthy, and he is currently sleeping. As you understand, I want to spend all this time with my wife and son, so it is with a heavy heart that I will ask you to leave and go back the way you came."

Some frowned, and others had amused smiles on their faces.

A man named Draco stepped forward to speak. "congratulations, Marek. Why don't you bring the little boy here? I want to meet him."

Draco had previously had a dispute over resources with Marek, and today with a crowd at his back, he felt brave.

"Yes, bring the boy to meet his uncles," The same thing was shouted by many people said.

Marek was about to lose his patience when suddenly, a woman's melodious voice rang out.

"Did a lackey from the Tiger clan have a funny idea about my primordial Phoenix clan's son-in-law?"

The woman was Feng Hanxue.

The man's face turned pale. It was as if he had seen his death. He immediately tried to leave but was stopped by Feng Hanxue, "Before you go, you better leave the best gift, or else you will stay here forever."

'Why the fuck did I come here?' Draco thought.

"Of course, Mrs. Feng. Sorry for forgetting."

Draco took out a small chest and opened it. Inside was an herb that was shaped like a dragon.

The Gods present began to murmur.

"Ten Million Year Dragon Blood Flower"

"Did he take out that treasure?"

"This guy appreciates life and fears death."

"I don't think he has anything better than that herb."
