I Am God!

After leaving the town of the female alchemist.

Maman did not leave the Land of the Rising Sun. She chose to become a prop maker in this extraordinary prop making kingdom.

She does not have the fire of desire of the alchemist, but she does have the flame of the fire demon.

Although she has no mental power, the fire demon can telepathically communicate with her and move according to her thoughts. This is the ability of extraordinary intelligence.

A college in Baita City.

Mama sat in the back and listened to the alchemists' lectures on the use of fire and the properties of materials.

She carefully took a pen and recorded it, and then took it back to try and experiment.

On the way, she even raised her hands enthusiastically.

"Master, this place..."

"Grandmaster……"

I have to say, this is a prop maker’s paradise.

A few years later.

She feels that she has learned a lot and knows enough about prop making.

She no longer made money by refining some exquisite goldware, synthetic gemstones and glassware, but began to try to collect extraordinary materials to refine extraordinary props.

"hiss!"

Under the light.

Mama carefully took a drag on her pipe.

You can see the fire demon's flames coming out and surrounding the ancient alchemy furnace.

The extraordinary material melts slowly, and after being filtered through multiple alchemical techniques, it slowly becomes pure.

In the end, the diverse materials condensed together with her heart.

It became a piece of waste.

Maman looked at the extraordinary waste product she had refined, grabbed her hair helplessly and said loudly.

Although this kind of thing will be collected enthusiastically by nobles and can be sold for a certain price, it is still far different from a real extraordinary prop.

"ah!"

"It still doesn't work!"

To use an extraordinary flame that is not considered mainstream to refine props, Maman's journey is much more difficult and slower than that of an ordinary alchemist.

But then, Maman tried again and again and kept learning.

She finally learned to control this power.

She became more and more familiar with the power of the fire demon and the making of props.

She opened her own shop in the White Tower Alchemy Alliance and also owned a prop making workshop of her own.

even.

The guests and nobles who came to the door also began to call her.

"Master Maman!"

Although these people shout this to some alchemists who have two hands.

But Maman did seem to have fulfilled her dream when she was young, and she was already nearly middle-aged at this time.

This journey was not as easy and comfortable as imagined, but rather extremely difficult.

On this day, she went to the academy again to listen to the master's alchemy class. The master was also very familiar with Maman.

After the lecture, the old man called her.

Maman called the other party respectfully: "Master."

The old man looked at Maman, nodded appreciatively, and then shook his head with regret.

It seems that I admire Maman very much, but I also feel sorry for Maman.

"You have reached the end of this road."

"After all, you are not a powerful person. No matter how much knowledge you have, you will not be able to exert it without strong enough extraordinary power."

Of course Maman knew: "It doesn't matter. I am very happy learning alchemy and prop making. Even if I don't need it, I still want to know it."

The old man finally gave Maman a suggestion: "If you want to go further, go to Demon Abyss King City!"

Maman knew this place: "The Kingdom of God of the Demon Spirit Clan is not easy to enter. Ordinary people can't find it."

The other party told her: "Your fire demon is very special and should be chosen."

Maman looked at her fire demon, suddenly envious of it, and felt that she was lucky enough to be able to borrow its power all the time.

After the conversation, she turned and left.

At this time, the master called her name: "Mama!"

Maman turned around: "What's wrong?"

The master asked her: "You have been alone for so many years. Don't you have a family?"

"The fire demons are my family and friends," Maman said.

The master said, "You know, that's not what I want to ask."

Maman was silent for a while, smiled and shook her head.

"I have a lot to do, and I have to focus entirely on making props. Everything else will just distract me."

"You know, it's not easy for me."

After saying that, she repeated it again.

“It’s really not easy for me to reach this day and be able to do this.”

Of course the old man understood that it was not easy for Maman, but in the end he still said it to Maman.

"But life is limited."

"Mama."

"We are only mortals, and there are some things we are destined to never see the end of."

"You can't end up not being able to pursue your dreams and not be able to live your life!"

On the way back, Maman thought of a lot.

She thought of her childhood, the dean and the other children, the divine attendant who brought her a letter, and the female alchemist.

She dedicated the best time of her life to her dream, but when she looked back, she realized that she seemed to have missed many other things.

Maman is sitting in her shop.

She turned her chair and looked at the various items she had made. This was a much more luxurious shop than the previous female alchemist.

"call!"

She lit her pipe.

In the dark space, the fire demon rotated around her, as if dancing.

The firelight reflected on the gold vessel, creating bursts of brilliance.

Everything looks gorgeous and graceful.

She seemed to be chasing something, but it was different from what she had imagined.

She used to feel like a gust of wind, free and unfettered, but she didn't know when it stopped unconsciously.

Maman finally made up her mind and wanted to turn into the wind and fly again.

"Go to Demon Abyss King's City!"

"I have never seen the kingdom of God."

Maman decided to look for the Demon Abyss City.

If her fire demon can transform, then she can refine more powerful props, such as third-level props.

She can also go further and see a wider world.

Just like she expected when she was little.

But before that, she planned to go back to her hometown to visit.

The successful Maman returned to her hometown. She wore the robe of the Prop Masters Guild and her special vehicle frequently attracted people's attention as soon as she entered the city.

The car stopped at the entrance of the nursery, attracting everyone's attention.

Maman got out of the car and looked at everyone with a smile.

The dean recognized Maman. She stepped forward tremblingly with a cane and shouted loudly.

"Mama!"

"My child, you are finally back."

"Look, it's Maman, my pride."

Maman laughed. She felt extremely happy at this moment, even happier than when she first got the prop maker's badge.

Dean looks very old, but Maman feels the same as when he was young.

She held Maman's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would run away.

There was an invisible smell on the dean's body. Although he couldn't smell it, it passed through his nose and entered his body, making Maman feel relaxed and even happy.

Maman brought a lot of things for the children, and the nursery was filled with cheers, just like when the God Attendant arrived when he was a child.

While chatting, the dean talked about past events and people from the past.

"do you know?"

"The Lord Attendant who asked you to send the rainbow letter is no longer here. He visited the nursery a year before he died."

"He even asked about you!"

Maman was confused: "He remembers me?"

The dean smiled so hard that his folds squeezed together: "He said this was the first time he had seen the child he sent a letter to. He wanted to ask, did you receive your letter?"

Although Maman was careful not to let others see her, a powerful person still saw it easily. Maman also remembered the other person's appearance: "He is a gentle and kind-hearted person."

The dean shook his head: "He is not a gentle person. He is the most cruel and indifferent judge in the temple."

Maman couldn't imagine: "Are you talking about the same person as me? Is this different from what I remember?"

The dean patted Maman on the shoulder: "Because he also walked out of the nursing home!"

"In important places, in front of important people and children, people always want to show their best side to others."

It turned out that a gentle man who had left a wonderful legacy in Maman's life also had another side that she was completely unaware of.

The dean said at the end, he mentioned one thing.

"Do you still remember the cruel guys who threw you into the ice and snow? I found them!"

The dean kept talking about the cruelty of those guys and their irresponsibility as parents.

But Maman said indifferently: "It's not important anymore."

The dean asked Maman: "Don't you want to know about them? After all, they are your parents?

Maman shook her head: "I only know that I am a child who walked out of the stars. This is what you told me, Dean."

The dean burst out laughing: "Mama, after all these years, do you still remember?"

Maman smiled happily, squinted her eyes and tilted her head slightly to look at the dean, and hugged her: "Of course, I will always remember it, and I will always think so."

After staying in the nursery for a few days, Mama was ready to leave again.

The dean sent Maman to the door: "Where do you want to go next?"

The dean's eyes were full of reluctance, and he kept stroking Maman's wavy hair and adjusting Maman's clothes.

Maman told the dean: "I am going to the Kingdom of Yellow Sand to find a legendary kingdom of God."

"If possible, I would also like to go to the other side of the sea, to another continent."

"The legendary Ewell Peninsula, the desert where the sun sets, and I also want to see the legendary Winged Man."

The dean hesitated to speak, but finally spoke to her.

“Just do what you can do, do what you want to do.”

Maman: "I remember everything you told me."

Maman got in the car and started traveling again.

This is the second time she has left her hometown.

As before, the children in the nursery gathered in a group at the door and saw her off with the director.

——

Hot desert.

Maman led the fire demon across half of the continent and finally arrived at this land of death.

She experienced all kinds of dangers, and finally, under the induction of the fire demon, she saw the mythical city that appeared in front of them like a mirage.

She saw a majestic country like a country of giants, saw towering giant buildings standing in the city, and saw densely packed covered bridges connecting these buildings.

She saw various demon spirits emerging from the city wall, cheering towards them below.

"Here comes another one."

"A fire demon, and a snake man."

"Are they companions?"

The demon spirits welcomed their arrival with great enthusiasm.

"Wow!"

Maman had never seen such a scene before, and she walked inside excitedly.

The demon spirits surrounding her followed her through the huge city gate. When she entered, she was still a ball of fire and gas, and when she came out, she turned into a man with a glass shell.

"Kites" fell from the sky one by one and soared around them.

A large number of clay pots and glass figures emerged from corners, as well as exquisite metal figures walking towards them.

"Welcome, our new partners."

Maman looked around in confusion among the crowd.

She felt as if she had arrived in the fairy tale country she had imagined when she was a child, and everything here seemed to correspond to what she had dreamed about.

Maman settled down in this mythical city. She took the flame demon spirit to receive the inheritance, and then talked with this new wisdom consciousness.

The flame demon asked her: "Who are you?"

Maman told him: "My name is Maman, I am your contractor, a powerful person."

Flame Demon Spirit: "Contract, I don't feel the contract?"

Maman said as if I am very powerful: "Because I am very powerful and can control you without a contract. I am very powerful, so you have to listen to me, do you understand?"

The newly born demon nodded, as if he believed it was true: "Oh!"

Maman teaches the flame demon a lot of knowledge. Although he can speak through inheritance, he does not understand this world.

It's just that the way Maman imparts knowledge and the outside world is by telling stories.

Tell your own story, in a very unreliable way.

"I am a genius girl who was born into an extraordinary family for thousands of years. I was destined to become an apostle when I was born. I am called a being that I will never meet in a thousand or ten thousand years."

"If you don't study hard, you won't be able to keep up with me in your lifetime."

"How did I meet you?"

"I picked up yours on the road. I saw how pitiful you were, so I took you on the road with me."

"Although you are useless along the way, the powerful and talented Maman is enough. Everything else is just a foil. It doesn't matter whether you are strong or not."

"I have been to many places and traveled around the entire Ruhe Island. Next, I will go to the other side of the sea and to another continent."

"I can go wherever I want. No storm, sea monster, or enemy can stop me."

She told how she faced powerful enemies, how she made powerful props, and how she turned defeat into victory.

Tell us how popular you are in other places.

He told how he was jealous of others because of his genius, which caused all kinds of troubles. There was nothing he could do about it, he was a genius.

But she quickly used her genius method to defeat all the jealous people.

And she really believed everything the flame demon told her.

This also makes Maman happy to tell her own stories, the ones she once imagined about herself.

Sometimes, she would also wander around the Demon Abyss City.

Although most of the demons in the city look strange, when they actually communicate with each other, they are found to be just like ordinary people, and even have a kind of innocence that is different from the snake people.

This city is like a paradise.

On the chain bridge, Maman asked the metal puppet demon sitting here.

She swung her tail, no longer afraid of sliding down: "How long can the devil live?"

Metal Doll Demon: "I don't know, but this body of mine was born more than 200 million years ago, and I don't know when it will decay. Maybe it is difficult for such a body to die by pure natural forces. !”

It was the first time that Maman heard that life could live for such a long time. She stopped all movement and looked at the guy in front of her in surprise, who might have lived for more than 200 million years.

"It seems no different than eternal life."

Ancient Metal Doll Demon: "It depends on your definition of eternity and living."

The ancient metal doll also asked her a question: "Do you know how long the person who has lived the longest can live?"

Maman thought for a moment and said based on what she knew.

"More than two hundred years!"

"It's Elder Xinji from the Land of the Rising Sun, the first alchemist in the world!"

"But for most people, being able to live to be sixty or seventy years old is already a long life."

The ancient metal doll demon nodded clearly, and then said something that stunned Maman.

"It turns out it's so short-lived, so the demon spirits who come from afar always watch their contractors go away."

Early in the morning.

Maman took her own flame demon spirit to participate in a silent ceremony. No one said a word, just watching a clay pot demon spirit transform into a giant stone man, carrying a sarcophagus and heading into the distance.

They witnessed the process of the sand swallowing up the sarcophagus and watched it disappear into the boundless sea of ​​sand.

The flame demon asked Maman: "What is this?"

Maman said: "Funeral!"

Flame Demon: "Who died?"

Maman looked at the demon spirit in the clay pot: "His contractor."

The flame demon turned his head sharply and looked at Maman, and after a while he asked her: "Will you die too?"

Mama patted his glass skull and rubbed it.

"Of course I won't die. As I said, I'm very powerful."

"I am a person who wants to cross the sea and go to another continent. I have so many plans and goals that have not been realized."

"How could you die?"

Fire Demon Spirit: "But they say everyone will die."

Maman said boldly: "Then I will become an apostle and become the existence closest to gods in the world."

Hearing Maman say this, the flame demon spirit felt relieved.

——

The flame demon's power increases and his learning speed is very fast. He not only learned how to make props, but also mastered the principles of various ritual formations.

After gaining wisdom, he became almost human.

Like a child, he always chases Maman and asks questions: "What's in the sea?"

Mama said with her exaggerated gestures and descriptions: "There are huge storms, all kinds of terrible monsters, and mysteries that are unheard of and unseen."

"Only the most powerful people can cross the sea and go to the other side of the world."

The Fire Demon liked Maman's exaggeration, which was in line with the child's imagination of the outside world.

No child would like the outside world to be ordinary, just like they cannot accept their own ordinaryness.

“What’s on the other side of the ocean?”

Maman: "There is a continent bigger than the giant island of Ruhe."

"There are many countries on the continent, and there is also a desert that is said to be formed when the sun sets."

Flame Demon Spirit: "Is it bigger than the endless sea of ​​sand?"

Maman: "It's much bigger, even the Winged Ones with wings can't fly over it."

While teaching the flame demon spirit, Maman was also making preparations. She asked about various ways to travel to another continent.

It is said.

In that land of witchcraft, there was the oldest tradition of prop making, and she wanted to see it.

She took out her savings and bought a ferry ticket from the Kingdom of Yellow Sand to the Ewell Peninsula. It was not a direct trip and would pass through many cities along the way.

On the way back.

The flame demon spirit said excitedly: "Let's go together, to another continent, to those mysterious and distant places."

"We can travel together forever and go wherever we want. We are the most powerful combination."

The corner of Maman's mouth raised a slight arc: "Then you have to work hard, I will not allow the guy who is holding me back to follow me."

The flame demon kept nodding: "Yeah, I will definitely become as powerful as you, Maman."

And it's almost time to set off.

Someone at the nursery asked the temple attendant to send a letter to Maman.

Maman came to the rainbow tree in Demon Abyss City and got this letter.

The text in the letter was brief and read.

"The dean is seriously ill and she won't let us tell you, but we hope, Maman, that you can come back to see her."

Maman held the letter and stood there for a long time. Although she knew that the dean was old, she didn't know that this day would come so quickly.

Do you want to go back at this time?

She did want to go back because that was the dean who raised her.

However, she longs for the distance. This is her chance to fly again.

Her heart was severely clogged, and images of the dean and the past kept popping up in her mind.

At this time, she suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something in the hole of the rainbow tree.

"Um?"

She reached in and found another letter in the rainbow tree hole, a letter that looked a little familiar.

When she opened it, it was written in crooked handwriting.

"Mamman, what will you be like in the future?"

"Have you become a powerful person?"

The writing is young and immature, and the questions are innocent.

Mama looked at the letter and couldn't help laughing.

at night.

Mama looked at the two letters, looking to the left for a while and to the right for a while.

One letter urged her to head toward the future, and the other called her to return to the past.

It is following a childhood dream to create a wind that never stops.

Or stay where you are most familiar?

Suddenly.

She leaned back heavily on the bed, and then saw herself in the mirror.

She saw the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, that of a woman who was still beautiful but no longer young.

She leaned over, stroking her wrinkles in front of the mirror, looking left and right at her face.

She looked in the mirror and murmured.

"Why did you grow up so quickly?"

"Are you going to grow old so soon?"

"I still have a lot of things to do!"

It was as if she suddenly woke up from a dream and understood something.

After she left, she was destined to never come back, and she would never see the director and the people at the nursing home again.

And no matter how hard she tries, she can only become a wind chasing the future, and then dissipate at a certain moment in the future, in an unknown place.

It was as if she had worked hard for half her life, but in the end she could only be a prop master who was not a powerful person.

It is impossible for her to accompany the demon spirit for her whole life. Her life is just a short passerby for him.

Maman finally felt the powerlessness of life.

God has given us infinite dreams, but only limited life.

A few days later.

Maman set off with his own flame demon.

They sat on a clay pot demon spirit that turned into a giant stone man and arrived at the port of the Kingdom of Yellow Sand.

She stood on the beach and looked at the world in the distance.

She once longed for her adventures like a story, wanted to be a free and unfettered person, and wanted to be a person who could do whatever she wanted.

But when she actually stood here, she was a little confused.

She suddenly felt a little scared. She didn't know where to go. She seemed to have a lot of things she wanted to do, but some things were destined to never be completed.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered what the female alchemist said before she died.

"My life is like a dream, a hazy dream that misses the point."

She suddenly felt as if she was dreaming too.

She dreamed that she split into two.

One goes to the distance with the sea, and the other carries the box back to the past.

suddenly.

She turned her head, her wavy hair swaying in the wind.

Maman looked at her demon spirit with a bright smile and called out the name she had given to him before setting off.

"Holios!"

The flame demon also shouted her name: "Mama!"

Holios and Maman, they are a combination.

A short-lived combination that is destined to disband is like those demon spirits and contractors who are destined to be separated, but Maman hopes that she can walk with each other forever.

"I just figured something out."

"I'm going to travel to a very, very far place. If you run so slowly and follow me, you will hold me back."

"And I'm going to the sea. You're so weak, you won't be of much use once you get to the sea!"

"I'm going to make a contract with a powerful guy and let him take me far away."

She showed a playful smile and raised her eyes as if thinking.

"How about finding a flying kite demon?"

"Hold on to the string of the kite and fly. Isn't it so exciting and awesome?"

"When the time comes, I can go wherever I want. Do you envy me?"

"It's a pity that you can only stay behind me."

"There is no other way. Who made the talented Maman walk so fast that she cannot tolerate any restraints and fetters?"

Maman looked at the lost and disbelieving Fire Demon Spirit, with a look of freedom and ease on his face, like a wind elf who didn't stop for anyone.

Even though he was left behind, the freedom and freedom were deeply imprinted in the heart of the flame demon spirit.

Make him yearn for it, make him want to chase and long for it.

she says.

"But it's okay, I'll write to you."

"You can read my letters and it's like traveling with me."

"At least in the letter, we are still a team."

When leaving, Mama left her pipe with the demon named Horios.

Then, alone, he boarded the ship.

She stood on the boat and said goodbye to Holios, the wind lifting her long hair and blowing her hat.

She waved her hands high, like spreading her wings to a distant place.

As free as the wind.
