Chapter 293: The Poet of the Sky
Lin Qiye stared at Eden for a long time and let out a long sigh.
He finally understood where Bragi’s problem lay… Eden had given Bragi the heart that belonged to the goddess of youth, and under the influence of the mist, inadvertently merged her own soul into Bragi’s body. This resulted in the current situation of two souls in one body.
His situation was somewhat similar to Merlin’s, but fundamentally different.
Merlin had stumbled into a mysterious world while exploring the real world, where his mind was invaded by pink starfish, and the control over the body was uncontrollable, representing an external soul invasion.
In contrast, Bragi and Eden were a case of two souls in one body; Bragi’s body still pulsed with Eden’s heart, and Eden’s soul lay hidden within it. She would only emerge when Bragi fell asleep, and there was no hostility between them, forming a symbiotic relationship.
Lin Qiye could certainly use the method he employed against Merlin to directly extract Eden’s soul from Bragi’s body, but doing so would inevitably lead to Eden’s soul being shattered. Moreover, on the panel, Eden was also part of the patient, so this approach would definitely not meet the treatment criteria.
Given this, how should he treat Bragi and Eden…?
By the way, did Bragi know about this? Lin Qiye pointed to the heart on Bragi’s right side.
Eden shook her head. She didn’t know. When I gave him my heart, he was already unconscious, and I only came out after he fell asleep. After I was done, I would restore everything to its original state; he had no awareness of my existence.
Why not tell him?
Eden looked up at the familiar face in the mirror, a bitter smile appearing on her face as she shook her head. If he knew the truth, he would go mad… I don’t want him to live forever in the shadow of guilt. A man as sunny and gentle as he is shouldn’t have to live like that.
Eden gazed into Lin Qiye’s eyes, her eyes filled with pleading. Director, I ask you… please don’t tell him about this. I won’t affect his life. If you require it, I can stop appearing from now on. I just want to quietly watch over him…
Lin Qiye looked at Eden’s reddened eyes and, after a moment of hesitation, nodded.
Rest assured, I won’t reveal your existence. You don’t need to disappear. Every night when Bragi falls asleep, you can still come out for a stroll, but you must be careful not to let anyone discover your presence, especially that caregiver named Li Yifei…
Lin Qiye earnestly reminded her.
Currently, Li Yifei still thought that Bragi was simply suffering from schizophrenia or sleepwalking. If he learned of Eden’s existence, he might excitedly rush to Bragi the next day, mysteriously saying, “I have a secret to tell you…”
Lin Qiye agreed to keep Eden’s existence a secret from Bragi not only because of Eden’s request but also for Bragi’s mental state.
If Bragi were to find out that he was alive because his wife sacrificed her heart, it would surely cause psychological issues, and it wouldn’t be impossible for him to become the second Nyx.
Lin Qiye certainly did not want to see the treatment progress turn negative…
However, how to treat the situation between Bragi and Eden was something Lin Qiye still needed to think through carefully.
At that moment, the familiar panel reappeared before Lin Qiye’s eyes.
Bragi (Eden) Treatment Progress: 1%
Reward extraction conditions met, beginning random extraction of Bragi (Eden)’s divine abilities…
Lin Qiye was taken aback, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes. He hadn’t expected that simply agreeing to Eden’s request would advance the treatment progress by 1%.
Upon reflection, it wasn’t surprising. For so many years, Eden had quietly hidden within Bragi’s body. Objectively speaking, she was also an invader, a wandering soul occupying Bragi’s body at night.
But the moment Lin Qiye agreed to her request, she transformed from an outsider into a patient in need of treatment. In simple terms, she received recognition from Lin Qiye.
A simple change in mindset could also impact Eden’s mental state.
Lin Qiye carefully observed the spinning wheel before him, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Unlike the previous ability extraction wheel, this one was significantly larger and divided into golden and red sections, with the number of abilities doubled!
The golden area contained abilities all derived from the god of poetry, Bragi, including Divine Sound of the Blessed, Essence of Art, End Times Bard, Poem of Destruction, Super Handsome, and Soul Control Melody…
The red section, on the other hand, was entirely sourced from the goddess of youth, Eden, including Heart of Youth, Eternal Secret Garden, Undying Body, Minor Wish Spell, and All Things Have Spirit…
The densely packed ability wheel almost dazzled Lin Qiye’s eyes. Although it contained some strange abilities, he was getting used to it.
Lin Qiye felt a slight regret; he had hoped that the two deities in Room 3 might allow for two consecutive spins on different wheels, but it seemed he was overthinking it.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Qiye chose to start spinning the wheel, and the two-colored wheel began to spin rapidly in a dazzling manner.
Lin Qiye’s gaze was fixed on the wheel, his heart racing.
As the two-colored wheel gradually came to a stop, the pointer finally landed on a golden area.
—Sky Poet.
Sky Poet? Lin Qiye looked at the name, a look of confusion appearing on his face.
What kind of ability is this?
Lin Qiye reached out, and the floating character transformed into a white light that surged into his body. The next moment, several lines of small text appeared before his eyes.
Sky Poet:
Poetry has a spirit. Whenever you recite a line of poetry that resonates with your heart, you can create corresponding effects on the surrounding environment. The stronger the resonance between the poetry and your heart, the greater the impact on the external world.
Lin Qiye carefully read each word, standing there in a daze.
What does this mean? Is it a poetic version of “speak and it shall be”?
Lin Qiye temporarily suppressed his confusion and, after bidding farewell to Eden, returned to the dark and empty courtyard.
Just as he was about to speak, he froze in place.
Reciting poetry… but he knew nothing about foreign poetry! They hadn’t taught it in school, and it certainly wouldn’t be covered in training camps. Did he really have to go buy a book of foreign poetry and study it?
He also wondered if this foreign god’s ability could be applied to poetry from Daxia…
After pondering for a moment, Lin Qiye decided to give it a try. He cleared his throat and spoke loudly:
“Flowing down three thousand feet! It seems like the Milky Way is falling…”
Splash—!!
Just as he reached halfway through, a glimmer of light flashed from Lin Qiye’s eyes. His voice seemed to carry a unique charm, and the next moment, a massive torrent of water came crashing down from the sky!
