Luo En naturally couldn’t accept it.
On one hand, because he truly had deep feelings for Altria, and couldn’t bear to sacrifice his beloved student for this so-called "Divine Authority";
On the other hand, if the Great Mother Goddess Danu, led by "Divinity," truly fully revived, she might not value this mentor-student relationship, and whether the Danu Gods would continue being subordinate is hard to say.
Tsk, these students, every single one of them, really don’t let me rest easy.
Luo En pressed his temples and lifted his hand to unlock the barrier outside the door:
"Did you hear everything?"
Dreamlike pink and white petals drifted with the wind, and a tall figure wearing a crown stood at the door, gently nodding.
Luo En sighed and asked:
"Anything you want to say? Or ask?"
"The Three Lake Fairies, the Three Fates of the Celtic God Era, representatives of the Old Gods of Danu. Speaking of seniority, they don’t intend to treat you as their mother; perhaps you should call them ’sisters’?"
"So, my so-called sisters and you cultivated me to resurrect the Goddess Danu?"
"Correct, but they only told me the first part, keeping the latter part hidden from me."
Luo En paused, then continued,
"Of course, I’m not saying this to shy away from responsibility, just that things have reached this point and you should have the right to know. If you think I’m excessive, feel free to scold me. After all, I’m not a good person either..."
But before he could finish, Altria rushed into the hall from outside, giving him a big hug from behind:
"Thank you, Teacher. Thank you for choosing me, and thank you for doing so much for me..."
That voice was incredibly sincere, reflecting heartfelt emotion.
Moreover, it could easily lead to mistakes.
Luo En felt the astonishing elasticity from his back and discreetly moved forward to put some distance between him and his student, reminding her in a good-natured tone:
"Aren’t you a grown-up already? Act a bit more mature."
"In front of you, I’ll always be a child."
Altria blinked, a rare mischievousness flickering in her smile.
As time passed and she grew older, she became more human, her emotions becoming richer.
But she clearly didn’t realize the immensely strong impact of doing such a gesture with her figure and appearance.
Luo En found himself unable to handle it, hurriedly raising his hands in surrender:
"Stop shaking, stop shaking, the ceremony will end soon, if your subordinates see this scene, they’ll probably rush in together and execute me."
"They’re not your match."
Despite her words, Altria obediently released her embrace and stepped to the side.
She didn’t want to cause any inconvenience to her teacher because of herself.
And after calming her emotions briefly, she shifted the topic straight to the point, asking:
"Teacher, the negotiations have failed. What do you plan to do next?"
"Obviously, to support your rule, ensuring your kingdom endures on this land for a thousand years, Your Majesty."
Listening to that half-serious, half-teasing response, Altria contemplated.
She roughly understood her teacher’s intention.
It’s to extend her life as much as possible, solidifying her concept as the "King of Knights."
As long as her achievements grow, leaving more legends behind, the faith can continue accumulating until it can absorb Danu’s divinity and memory without degradation, fully transforming from the "Eternal King" to the "Origin God."
Altria frowned, reminding him:
"My so-called ’sisters’ probably won’t agree, right?"
Luo En shook his head, somewhat helplessly rubbing his forehead,
"Perhaps they have already begun taking action."
As the eldest sister of the three Lake Fairies, Morgos is gentle outwardly but strong inwardly, and won’t easily change her decisions.
Moreover, they have dedicated their lives to reviving the Great Mother Goddess Danu, intending to rejuvenate the Danu Divine Race.
How could they possibly stop because of my disagreement as an outsider?
So, in the end of the "King Arthur Legend," King Arthur dies at the hands of these three sisters and is carried to "Avalon," reborn as the true "Eternal King."
Fate loops around and returns to its original course.
Luo En looked at the oblivious student in front of him, his eyes darkening slightly.
