"Is it called Xiaohan?" The White Wolf, who had just finished speaking with Dorothy, stared at the golden giant egg.
Zoe called Andasu "An" as her friends did, following the habit of Nebis Language, adding a tail sound after the initial of Anastasia, making it sound just like calling her.
Dorothy snickered, while Andasu remained silent, deep in thought as if contemplating something else.
"Can Xiaohan transform into a human?"
Zoe wore an expression of delighted surprise and thanked Baal.
Li Ang had never imagined carrying a Summoned Beast capable of human transformation, and probably none of the Sky Knights of the Celestial Group had either.
In the past, there were indeed rumors of high tier Demons and Transcendent Demon Beasts possessing the ability to transform into humans, but no one had ever confirmed it.
Starlight radiated from Baal's form as his vast body that reached the sky disappeared, and the starlight coalesced upon the cliff to form the shape of an elder.
His face was stern, the years did not grant him a kindly look, his white long beard and hair thick and flowing, the whole person resembling a storm harboring power.
"Teacher!" ALulu exclaimed in surprise.
Xiaoniu timidly approached Baal, wanting to speak but refrained.
Li Ang stood beside her, asking gently, "What do you want to say?"
Blushing, Xiaoniu looked at him, lowered her head, and whispered, "Teacher, can you still be my teacher?"
Baal closed his eyes and sighed, "Creating a physical reincarnation is to preserve the power of the Star Soul; each life is a complete journey. To prevent chaos in the mortal world, I intentionally severed it."
Slowly opening his eyes, he continued, "However, now that the Sky of Nebis has another Star Divine Child, my power will gradually restore to its peak, so there's no need for reincarnation. I can appear in human form at any time."
"The Holy Dragon's reincarnation, I'm actually here to assist and witness this event," Gregory smiled from the side.
Li Ang speculated that just like his separation of spirit and body when pulled into the Magic Power Dimension, Baal's operation might be similar.
The so-called soul is merely a cultural concept; the formation of two kinds of Undead is the true result of separation of spirit and body, but Li Ang's situation was unlike that. The spirit contained in the Star Soul Body is denser, surpassing conventional existence, and it can sustain in the same peculiar separation of spirit and body as Li Ang.
When it reincarnates as a human, its true form roams the sky of Nebis, directly becoming a celestial phenomenon, more terrifying than the Storm. This Star Soul continually exceeds Li Ang's expectations.
Baal said to ALulu, "If you still wish to acknowledge me as your teacher, I've no reason to refuse."
"That's wonderful!"
Xiaoniu stepped forward to hug the elder, knowing her physical condition, she cautiously avoided hugging too much to prevent embarrassment. Additionally, since Baal, as Zephyrinus, lived his life as a severe elder, Xiaoniu probably seldom sensed gentleness from him.
Oh, to be precise, this Celestial Dragon is an inherently proud starlight.
ALulu's innocent face flooded with a smile; these days, it was the first time Li Ang saw her smile so thoroughly.
"I'm so happy."
ALulu jumped up to Li Ang's side and hugged his arm tightly, making him feel as though he had plunged into cotton candy, even sensing an almost magnetic pull, not to be underestimated.
Baal frowned slightly, staring at Li Ang with a certain meaningful gaze.
Li Ang couldn't tell if it was a physical illusion or if the air around them was electric, his whole back felt as if thousands of needles were lightly pricking it.
ALulu was oblivious to the atmosphere; she merely smiled blissfully, "I've found the true partner Teacher wanted me to find, I won't starve anymore, and Teacher isn't dead. I couldn't imagine anything better!"
Baal's rigid face seemed to soften a bit.
In a low voice, he said, "You can carefully consider your oath."
"Huh? Oh, right, Teacher was referring to that earlier question."
With Baal's reminder, ALulu seemed to recall something about the Paladin's oath.
She hadn't sworn an oath, unable to obtain the Divine Power of an oath. As a Paladin, she should have undergone this process, but she wasn't even aware of the concept.
ALulu earnestly pondered, and Baal lifted his head, speaking to Li Ang, "This child's talents appear innate."
"I've noticed," Li Ang smiled.
"Her temperament is much like what you describe the Goddess of Kindness to be, unbound by doctrines incomprehensible to mortals, innately understanding the Goddess' intentions, favored by Divine Power."
Upon hearing this, Li Ang glanced at Gregory out of the corner of his eye. Given his understanding of religious followers, words like Baal's could even be judged blasphemous by some.
Even if this ancient Star Soul had truly witnessed the goddess in the era before the establishment of the faith, it was incomprehensible to fanatics.
"I feel that, though she follows her own inclinations, she's untainted by any impurities. Although peculiar, the fact that Divine Power lingers on her indicates she's on the right path."
"For years, I've encountered numerous Divine Magic, understanding the rules of Divine Power."
Baal said, "Divine Power has three sources: Nature, religious deities, and oaths. In essence, they are abstract entities imagined in human hearts, so Divine Power originates from belief. The purest form of Divine Power can be viewed as a refined form of advanced Magic Power by the spirit of the heart."
Li Ang sneaked a glance at the elder form of the Thunderstorm Star Soul's panel, good heavens, if Eden in human form resembled a Priest as a façade, essentially a Caster of Frost and Snow, then Baal was the exact opposite, a thorough Storm Priest, grasping both the divine and the storm.
