Father, when you see this letter of mine, my battle group and I should be standing outside the city of Old Tianjin, following His Highness Malin. Our family, since heading south in the Great Destruction Era, until today, it’s been nearly eight millennia and two centuries since we saw our homeland... We’ve long forgotten our native dialect, forgotten what our homeland looks like, even the cameras preserving the scenery of our homeland have long since been damaged over time. Speaking of it, it’s quite amusing, clearly our generations, for decades, were all born in the Zhenjiang-Nanjing metropolitan area, speaking Thanan Mandarin, and had long ceased to consider returning to our homeland as ancestral instruction. But truly, one day, when such a fate descends from heaven, I finally understand the sigh in the ancestors’ diaries about our homeland. ...So this is the feeling of being near yet anxious about returning home. His Highness Malin is someone very... I don’t know what word to use to describe him because he is so powerful, so powerful that I feel even using Legendary to describe him would be a mistake. Everyone calls him His Highness, and at first, I thought it was just a form of flattery, but I was wrong. You surely haven’t seen a matchless warrior who can fight two at once and strike down the Great Demon. I have seen him, His Highness Malin, slay champions and Great Demons time and again, help us advance time and again, and shout that slogan time and again. May the Union Battle Flag never fall. Many would probably think this Union refers to the Thanan Union. But, father, you should know, this Union should mean... Earth Union, right? His Highness Malin is a Westlander, yet he speaks Thanan Mandarin most fluently and even knows some jokes from before the Great Destruction Era... He must be the legend from the Bangkok incident. My elder brother told me stories about that legend. He said that legend had black hair, was short in stature, but with people held the bridge, the bridge was full of corpses of various Chaos, and there were so many champion heads that two hands couldn’t count them all. I heard that the paternal bloodline of His Highness Malin is indeed short in stature. Combined with the story my brother told... Father, we Thanan might have our own Deity. Although this Highness’s origins are a mystery, he is indeed a Deity, and a very strange Deity at that, because... he seems to strongly resist becoming a Deity. Father, can you explain to me why a legend awarded such a path is instinctively afraid? The middle-aged man put down the letter in his hand, and with his legs not so convenient, he sat in a wheelchair, looking out at the summer view outside the window. His heart, however, had long since drifted to the North. This Highness named Malin clearly seems to understand the rugged path of becoming a Deity and knows the road is filled with traps and death. The Thanan always believed their race couldn’t have a Deity because of the various Masters. They didn’t know that as early as the Second Era, the Thanan did have their Deity, but in this world, Deities are weak. The Thanan Deity gradually discovered their divine position polluted by Subspace, and some Deities decided to sacrifice themselves into the Star Realm before they mutated, some Deities did not want to sacrifice and eventually mutated and fell... It was a very cruel era, people didn’t dare to have faith. Until Master Wu appeared and exterminated all the fallen Evil Gods for the Thanan. Yet there remained many in fear of this foreign Deity because he was so powerful that if he fell, this world would surely be doomed. ...Though, over the years, Master Wu showed no signs of mutation and fall, and the Thanan gradually accepted the judgment that the foreign Deity was unaffected, but in the Bangkok incident, the previous Sage Lin was still too aggressive. Although the child indeed had the bloodline of an Outer Domain visitor, after all, the child also had the bloodline of the Frost Giant, which is an indisputable creation of Earth’s life, and... according to the genealogy of paternal genes made by the Academy of Sciences from the genetic traces left by that child, the paternal gene has a very ancient heritage similar to humans from before the Great Destruction Era. If the middle-aged man weren’t an engineering bachelor from the Academy of Sciences, he wouldn’t have known such intelligence from the Institute of Biological Genetics—because of this intelligence, he had to sign the Oath of Silence, if he violated it, he would die of a heart attack on the spot. Because of this intelligence, besides him, only three Sages have the right to know. For the sake of the family, the middle-aged man had no choice but to do so. If he didn’t sign, the Thanan Guard Bureau would surely come to silence him immediately, and his old father would die of anger over his son’s good deeds. The saying ignorance is bliss sometimes is not nonsense. Thinking of this, the middle-aged man contemplated for a while, finally deciding to write a letter to comfort his child. He certainly couldn’t let his child know his secrets, but he urged him to fight well, to follow His Highness, even if just as cannon fodder under His Highness’s battle flag. At least it would be a stepping stone to victory, better than his brothers... After all, an incompetent general hurts a thousand troops. And this Highness, truly, is ever-victorious indeed. The paternal bloodline of His Highness Malin contains genes from Earth people before the Great Destruction.
